#warning though

I’m going to be a volunteer guest reader for a writing contest!! I’m very excited because I love reading, and I thought it would be super cool to give whoever sees this the opportunity to give me a little something to read!

All you need to do is write 100 words (which is always so much less than it sounds XD) and submit it to https://www.fiveminutelit.com/contest !!

The winner even gets to earn a little money! (Although apparently you have to pay a little to submit XP)

“Your Majesty,” a guard remarks.

“Hmmmm?” a voice remarks, lips curling into a devilish smirk.

“Seems we have trouble again. Another one is running through the levels trying to get the zapfish,” the guard replies. 

On a monitor in front of them, the guard pulls up surveillance footage of an inkling running through upper levels of Octo Valley as they fight of Octarian soldiers.

“Another one huh? And here I was starting to think they had given up. Hehehehehe, good; I was getting bored. YOU! Go get my guns!” the voice chuckles.

“Yes your Majesty,” another guard speaks up before leaving the room.

“Shall we get a glider and head that way?” the first guard asks.

“Not just yet,” the voice replies with a wicked chuckle, “Let’s give them a little bit of a chance. A small sense of hope. See if they can finish the first level. It makes killing them all the more satisfying. To see the fear in their face when they realize they had no chance of winning. And no chance of making it out alive.”

“Should we let the king know though?” the guard questions.

“Hannah, don’t bother Grandpa with such frivolous things. It’s not like they are going to get to Stomp or anything. I’ll deal with them before that. I mean look. They are already having trouble and they haven’t even gotten a third through the kettle. Hahahaha! Inklings are pathetic! Honestly, just shows how weak they are,” the voice laughs.

Getting up from the chair they are sitting in, the being walks forward to the monitor as their appearance appears on the screen.

All in black with black shades on, a wicked smile grows on the face of the woman in question; her tentacles twitching with anticipation and excitement at something new to play with; if only for a little bit.

“Still. You know how he is,” Hannah remarks.

Looking at Hannah, the woman raises an eyebrow before looking back at the screen; the wicked smile still on her face.

“The only thing he would care about is whether or not I had fun dealing with the little pest. If they gave any fight or was just another little bug I could squash under my heels. Other than that, he doesn’t give a siphon. There is nobody in the city strong enough to deal with us now,” the woman replied.

“Like they had a chance in the first place,” the other guard spoke up; returning with a pair of black and yellow duelies.

Handing them to the woman, the guard watches as she places them on her belt before pushing her yellow tentacles back behind her.

“Thank you. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the mishaps during the war, inklings would have been long gone from OUR lands,” the woman chuckles before turning the monitor off as the inkling finally finishes the first level; grabbing the zapfish and making a mad dash back to the spawner, “Now, I think our little “guest” has had a decent taste of what they are dealing with. How about we go greet them with a warm welcome. Shall we?”

Bowing, the guards wait as the woman walks past them before replying:

This Saturday (time TBA) I’ll be streaming on https://www.twitch.tv/megasaguaro This will be the start of my 100% on Hard mode playthrough of Automata. I’m also going to try and see as many different things/easter eggs in the game as possible, as I’m recording these streams for doing a future lore/opinions/analysis video
