Their reactions to first seeing you

It appears that you've been spotted on the streets! How does your lovesquid react?

Goggles:

• "Rider, Rider! Look at that person with the shiny tentacles!!!"
• He will not stop gushing over you for about two minutes
• Once he finally stops he immediately runs to you to meet you
• He easily befriends you and to be honest you don't really seem to mind 

Rider:

• Rider was NOT prepared to see someone like you
• He also was NOT prepared for the familiar feeling of fuzziness 
• Goggles easily catches on and literally forces him to greet you
• Somehow, Rider didn't leave a bad impression, and you both decide to stay in touch

Army:

• He is aware of every Inkling/Octoling that passes through the square, so your new appearance piques his curiosity
• He immediately freezes upon your looks
• He turns away from you to straighten his parka, tidies his tentacles, due to the fluttery feeling he'd received
• He desperately searches for any sort of indication as to what caused this in his manual, only to find no results

Aloha:

• "Oh? Who's that cutie~?♫"
• AKA target acquired
• He's confident as he casually strolls up to you 
• His smoothness easily attracts you, and you two stay in touch   

Mask:

• He was in the comforts of his home when he saw you walking past his house
• When he realizes just how attractive you are he takes a double take and stares
• He eventually takes a picture of you (still inside his house mind you) and reverse searches the picture to find your social media
• It still takes a while for him to get over his anxiety and to actually talk to you 

Skull:

• "...who?"
• His eyes seemed to be widened with surprise (and awe) at the sight of you 
• He mutters a question about who you are to Aviator (who already is sensing the mating call)
• The thoughtful male decides to simply watch you for a few weeks to see your behavior, and who knows, he might approach you eventually  

Gloves:

• Just with one glance, he's totally smitten (hopeless romantic?)
• "Yo Half-rim, do ya know who that is!?"
• Half-rim teases Gloves that he can't get with you
• Gloves accepts the challenge (much to Half-rim's dismay) and begins to try to impress you

Emperor:

• He's casually sipping on a Special-Up Smoothie while sitting on his throne when he notices you
• He doesn't make too big of a deal about it, but he enjoys what he sees
• He eventually gets off of his throne and struts over to you
• He uses his kingly status to appeal to you   

Prince:

• Much like Goggles, he completely gushes over you
• However, he doesn't move to greet you in fear of Emperor, who's annoyed by Prince's gushing
• Eventually, Emperor gets pissed and lets Prince skip over to you
• You can't help but quickly get charmed by the smaller male
