She Giggled As She Kept Inking The Turf Around Her. Sneaking Past To Tabitha's Base, She Let Out A Quiet

She giggled as she kept inking the turf around her. Sneaking past to Tabitha's base, she let out a quiet 'booyah.' As she and one of her teammates began claiming the yellow teams base for their own, splatting anyone that tried to stop them. "Maybe.. Juuust maybe.."

Nonet shook her head with an amused smile as she threw out a suction bomb. “Gotcha.” Suddenly, her tentacles seemed to light up as her bomb detonated nearby. “Oh? My special is ready?” She grinned as she super jumped back to her spawnpoint. Activating her special, she targeted the entirety of Tabitha’s team at once. The joys of special power up, right? “Time for tentamissiles!~” With a pull of the trigger, multiple missiles shot out of the shoulder mounted launchers and flew towards Tabitha and her teammates.

Obviously she knew Tabitba herself wasn’t going to be affected by the missiles as she raced back out covering as much turf as she possibly could with her slosher and suction bombs before the clock ran out, even though she knew it was a lost cause. No harm in trying, though!

Tabitha flinched before remembering her shield.

“Oh right, forgot about my shield.”  She started inking turf again just so she could maintain her lead

"Yeah, that makes sense." She chuckled. "Hmm?..Not exactly. I didnt just leave. No sanitized soldier can simply leave the metro as they please. We're forbidden to leave the metro.. Actually i dont think we even have the mindset to even consider leaving, or anything other than obeying orders.. Most sanitized are mindless zombie..slave..THINGS, if im being frank." Nonet shuddered. "It wasnt until my baby brother saved inkopolis from an inky sanitized doom at the hands of the commanders genocide cannon that i was able to leave, as my mind control was somehow broken the moment Pearl blew up the statue with her killer wail. After that, I joined up with Marina, Pearl and Eight as they traveled back to inkopolis, soo.."

“..Y-yea, i am an actual sanitized octoling. I used to be a test subject for the kamabo corporation with my baby brother, but i got taken out..” She scratched the back of her neck nervously and fooled with her ponytail. “I know its a shocker to see a sanitized octoling here, but i haven’t found a way to reverse the effects of the sanitization serum yet and turn myself back to normal..”

Nonet sighed and set her slosher by her feet. Seems she wouldn’t need to use it right this minute. “I have to ask though. How on earth did you manage to ink so much turf so quickly? Surely a modified weapon of that caliber wouldn’t go unnoticed by the judges!”

“Shell if I know, I guess Judd and Li’l Judd don’t get paid enough to deal with hackers like me.”

“So you just, left the metro? You sure have more going on upstairs than I’ve seen from other sanitized I’ve seen…”

//after zooming in as much as my phone would let me and squinting at this for a good 30 seconds or so, I SWEAR I can see an eye under those sunglasses. NOW IM CURIOUS.

And here’s a patreon commission, where I was asked to draw Angelo at the beach. It’s still winter here on Northern hemisphere, but I don’t mind getting into summer mood early, haha.

I chose to show the back side of the beach here, so I could concept the wall and stairs leading to the beach from the city, right from the cafe Dishbowl (so we can have beach episodes easily, haha)

Also, I drew Angelo’s eyes under those sunglasses, and I left the opacity at 99%.

That made the two flinch. They shared a shocked look, before they saw Nonet just standing there, her smile still present. She seemed to be deep in thought.. She was completely zoned out. "I..is she okay??" The roller asked, motioning to the sanitized octoling. Nonet was quietly reliving some of her memories from her time as a test subject. Her eyes seemed to faintly glow as she just stared absently at a wall infront of her. Two blue dots on the wall were the only way someone could tell they were glowing. "They..so familiar..why do..deja vu.." Her speech was slightly slurred and broken, as if she had forgotten how to speak Inklish properly.

The two shared a glance, and the sploosh grinned. “An eye for an eye!” They chuckled “they splatted us, we splatted them.”

When Nonet and her teamate respawned, Nonet didnt even respond to her teammates insults as she headed for the middle. She was calm. Unnervingly calm. She had a soft smile on her face, and her lower eyelid twitched ever so slightly from irritation. “Im sorry about my teammate. Apparently they’re the “splat litterally anybody who crosses my path” type.“ Behind her, said teammate got taken out again, and Nonet’s smile only grew at the sound. There was something seriously wrong in this octolings head.

“Seriously?! All of you are terrible! I’m leaving this lobby after this!”

Nonet giggled, an almost identical giggle to those of the enemy octolings. "Yeah, true. It IS a turf match after all." Noticing one of her teammates trying to splat Tabitha, she cringed as she saw them get oneshotted. The strange shield around Tabitha made her eyes widen in wonder. "A spawnpoint shield around an inkling? Thats new.." She murmured. "I need to research that for the future.. It could come in handy." She swiftly took a couple of notes in a small notebook she kept in her pocket, happily humming Fly Octo Fly as she did so.

Nonet nodded, humming softly. “That makes more sense then.. I need to experiment with alternate universe travel when I have the chance.. I was the head technician of the metro for a while after all..”

Noticing Tabitha throwing burst bombs, she sighed and threw out a suction bomb, and then used her slosher some to ink a bit more turf around them. When her tank ran dry, she set her weapon back down. There wasn’t any doubt. This inkling was hacking. Even if her entire team was working overtime, Tabitha could erase all their progress in a second with a single burst bomb barrage. “Yeah, theres no doubt im gonna lose this match.” She laughed. Even in the face of an impossible victory, she kept her spirits high. How? Who knows.

Tabitha laughs.

“Heheh, sorry about that. Not stopping though.”

She looked over to her teammates, they were still squid partying. One of Nonet’s teammates had taken note of Tabitha just standing there and tried to go in for the kill, unfortunately their ink just bounced off Tabitha’s shield. Said shield was identical to the kind used on the respawners, the inkling seemed taken aback by this but before they could do anything Tabitha one shotted them with her heroshot.

“Maybe you’ll think twice before you interrupt my conversations.”

Nonet grinned, her eyes still on her notebook. "Its unheard of here, as far as I know, so if i can somehow make a successful prototype of this sort of technology.." She trailed off, an excited squeal leaving her. She looked up at the question, blinking. "Its Fly Octo Fly, one of Off The Hook's songs. They even have an 'octo' version of Ebb and Flow for the last minute of the song. I believe it was used in Finalfest's shifty station, "MC Princess Diaries". It was also used when Eight saved the world from the NILS statue's genocide canon."

She shrugs.

“Yeah I suppose it’s new tech, about a few years old and nowhere ready for mass production.” She tilted her head as the octoling hummed.

“What’s that sound you’re singing?”
