#splatoon ocs

Well, it's been nearly a month since Deep Cut and I got stuck on the Spirhalite Islands. Cod, I wish I could just go home already… I mean we do have the boat to do it, after all. But I’d almost definitely be fed to Master Mega by Shiver if I even dare try to get Master and the eels to take the ship home, so my only option right now is to play pirate with these guys and hope for the best. Even though I know what we're gonna be doing is clearly a bad thing, what other choice do I have right now? It's either be the bad guy or die somewhere far away from home where nobody will find me.

I finished fixing up that Octobrush I found a couple days ago. Tube’s working just fine now. Since then, I’ve started working on some other weapons, too, but they aren't quite ready to use just yet. I’m also trying to make some parts I can use to give the Octobrush a lil’ extra kick to it, but since I actually want to use that Octobrush, I decided that if I wanted to test the part, I’d do it using a different Octobrush that we found in the junk pile. I haven't gotten too far with the new part, but I can't wait to use it when I finish it.

Shiver is starting to talk to me a little bit more, but it isn’t much. It’s pretty much just small talk. Better than the constant onslaught of insults and threats, I guess. But I can tell she’s still probably not too fond of me. As for Big Man and Frye, they’ve been helping me out with crafting, talking up a storm about stuff they’ve done in the past, looking for stuff to use now that the junk pile’s starting to run thin. Maybe I can consider them as, dare I say it, friends? Crazy, coming from me, the guy that really hated these guys’ guts just a month ago. It’s like I’m developing Stockholm Syndrome...

As much as I hate to admit it, when me and the others are working on weapons in my room, I can’t help but look out to the training area and see Shiver fishing or feeding her shark. Sometimes I find myself wondering what’s going on in that head of hers. What am I talking about? That’s the type of question I’ve been asking myself for days on end at this point! I can’t get a good read on her! Is she that stuck up princess I’ve been seeing her as? Does she have beating hearts? What is this woman’s deal?! Actually, better question: why do I care so much?! Ugh… Anyways, Frye and Big Man are still trying to help me get closer to Shiver. At this point, I have no clue how well their advice is working. I guess Shiver starting to talk to me a little bit more is a good sign? I dunno.

We haven't had a run-in with Taurus in days. You’d think that this would put me at ease, but I know better. For all I know, he could be planning some sort of elaborate death trap just for us. At least I have a weapon I can actually use now. I’ll be ready for this guy, at least a little bit. I’ve seen what this wacko can do. Who knows? Maybe he’ll catch my Octobrush mid-swing and fling me into the ocean, seeing how he stopped me from using my hammer on him.

Tomorrow, we’re gonna start raiding the islands. You can probably tell how enthusiastic I am about this. I’m not. To think just over a month ago I was celebrating my birthday with my friends, living my usual day-to-day life, and fucking around with my band. But now? I have to worry about helping these celebrities with this insane mission of theirs, some weirdo inkling dude hunting me and these celebrities down, and whether or not I’ll be going home. Sure, my sleep schedule at home was kinda crap and the cost of living is a bitch to deal with, but at least I knew I was gonna live. At least an entire city’s economy wasn’t riding on me and some celebrities stealing historical artifacts from the salmonids. Oh, what I’d do just to get back to the life I had before getting stuck here…
