Splatoon: Behind enemy lines

Motives

There is always a reason behind everything, whether it is as complicated as a tragic backstory filled with mixed emotions, or as simple as "Because I was bored" everyone has a motive.

Kalus' Home, Morning

The first thing Kalus saw when he woke up were Octarian tentacles.

He panicked for a moment then remembered that Victoria was staying in his house for the moment.

He panicked again, remembering how dangerous she supposedly was.

Kal hopped out of bed quickly and went to prepare himself for the day, quietly walking as to not wake Victoria up, after all she had been nothing but trouble so far, so any moment without her would be well appreciated.

Victoria woke up some time later, soon both were seated down in Kal's kitchen, having breakfast.

Victoria was excited, or at least she looked like she was, yesterday's messing around allowed her to explore Inkopolis today.

Kal on the other hand was feeling uneasy, sure he and Inker were going to be making sure Victoria didn't hurt anyone but still, is it really okay to let an Octoling walk out in the open while half the population of the city is looking for her?

After breakfast was done, Kal went upstairs to dig out his lowest and most commonly seen shoes, the Cream Basics, now what about headgear? Victoria needed something that could cover her tentacles otherwise she would probably be blasted the moment she left the door...

He could hear Victoria walk in, and look over his shoulder.

"Whatcha doing?" Victoria said, right next to Kal's ear.

Kal flinched then replied "Im trying to find something that can cover up you tentacles."

Kal kept looking, and Victoria kept bothering him "Can you stop breathing down my neck!?"

"Okay"

"Alright this should do the trick!" Kal said, holding a Tentacles Helmet

"Do you really expect me to wear that?" Victoria said

"If you want to go outside then yes."

"Don't you have anything less.... I don't know, weird?"

"Nope, and don't worry this pretty fresh, after all it is a three star headgear."

"Great....."

It would seem that Octarian and Inkling preferences differed.

"What about shoes?"

"Wear these."

Kal handed Victoria the Cream basics

"No way"

"Just wear these, it would be suspicious if a new Inkling suddenly appeared with only three star gear."

"It would also be suspicious if I have both this jacket and that helmet but those shoes, move over I'll pick my own shoes."

"What, this isn't a shoe store, just wear the Cream Basics"

"Nah, unless you have a better excuse to make me wear those I'm picking my own."

While Victoria tried different pairs of shoes, Kal went downstairs to watch the Squid sisters news report, after all he had missed yesterday's news and didn't know that Victoria's Octoshot had been found.

The squid sisters were already halfway into the report when Kal turned the TV on.

"And so there have been rumors of a new Squidbeak Splatoon, apparently they were involved in the return of the Great Zapfish just days before the Octarians were spotted in Inkopolis." Callie announced."
