FIGHT THE OCTARIANS!

— CAPTAIN’S LOG #001

          Not actually a captain. It just felt cooler than ‘dear diary.’ I can feel the air getting tenz tense, like we’re all ignoring a problem we don’t want to confront. Something big is coming... so I’ve decided to start documenting my life on the chance I become famous one day, hah. Let’s see if I can commit to this.

             Let’s see... my name is Craig Cuttlefish, I’m nineteen about to be twenty with no direction in my life other than manning Ammo Knights with my buddy.. I love crabby cakes, tinkering with tech and talking with my friend, Ammoses. Single, will probably stay that way. I’m a reserved fellow with a good shot and a few bad habits. Who doesn’t have them, though?

               Today I narrowly avoided being arrested in Octarian territory. Specifically in the Takowasa clan. I picked a gamble with someone who just so happened to be the son of their shogunate. My luck, right? He wasn’t wearing anything that even hinted to his status. I probably would’ve thought twice about trying to fight him for cheating me.

              His demeanor sure changed when those guards showed up to collect him (and me.) He became a lot less snarky and snot-nosed and more delicate and fragile. Weird but at least he defended me and got me off the hook. Goodness knows I’m not fluent enough in Octarian to defend myself in court.

                I don’t think that scene helped the fact that I was already getting a few nasty stares just for being there. Weird. I hope I can see him again sometime. I need to win back the money he stole from me. Ammoses will chew me out if he finds out I bet away our rent money.

he said something more like ‘  no fan of that song is a foe of mine ’ and while with agent 8, he digs into marina’s personal life and files on the assumption that she might be an octarian and goes on to say she cant be trusted once he finds out she is. he only stops making it a big deal of it when pearl threatens him.

when i hear the inkatation line, i hear more of a ‘you act like an inkling therefore i like you’ tone from him rather than an ‘all octos arent bad, maybe’ tone. 

does he exist oufside of it tho

         ❝ If you wanted to leave you could have done so at anytime, ❞ His isn’t as serious as Soda was probably hoping for, but he just couldn’t be invested with the Agent’s complaints. He’s lying to her, through and through whether he realized it or not. If Agent 3 had left the before DJ Octavio was taken out ... he shuddered at the thought. He would have been desperate and pleading for her to stay. It’s not like he could have taken on an entire army at his age.  ❝ I never pressured you to stay, ❞ A lie  ❝ I’m not some dictator like that stupid, lousy, crazed slimeball of an octopus — ❞

          ❝ Callie! ❞ He’s faced away from the girl that’s clearly, obviously not Callie. He simply caught a hint of pink and just assumed it was his granddaughter. He’s usually stationed at Octo Valley, not the Canyon but... there’s been a problem recently. He’s too fixated on a board with pins of papers and articles slathered sloppily all over it to give his granddaughter a hug.  ❝ It feels like I haven’t seen you in forever! We’ve got a problem! ❞
