her ears started ringing a bit and she felt lightheaded...

"O-Ow..."

right, the person.

"Are you alright...?"

"...Um... I hate to bother you... but... what exactly are you doing? O-On the floor... I mean..."

headtilt of confusion. she recognizes that person! ...why are they on the floor?

okay. think. people do things all the time for no reason whatsoever! who is she to question whatever this person is doing right now? it's not like she can just walk up and ask them—

"i don't have a dad but that's okay :)"

kat.nc

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

kat.nc

HES SO SILLYYYY

kat.nc

MARUNOMIIII!!!!

kat.nc

sorry oomf i was making a ramen i'm back now tho

Her eyes widen.

"Really?! That sounds wonderful...! I hope you have a good time!"

The volume of her voice increases slightly. She seems genuinely excited for them!

kat.nc

go my aviana and thanatos muse

"Sometimes it can be a bit... um... what's the word... suffocating? Small? But I think it's rather cozy...!"

She finally cracks her first smile.

"Ah- um- yes, I'm not from Splatsville... I get mixed up with names all the time... um... I'm from Inkopolis Plaza...? That's the place the Squid Sisters used to do news for, right...?"

She's a little confused but she's got the spirit.

"That'd... be great! Thank you so so so so much...!"

She seems much brighter now, happy that she ran into someone so kind and patient.

"R-Right...! I- I'll be more careful next time..."

She looks around.

"...Um... do you know where... people go to take place in Turf Wars...?"

Normally, it'd just be the "Very Large Tower" in the middle of the Plaza. However, there were too many "Very Large Towers" in this place.

sighs. "doing nothing" my ass. i'm very much still sick lmao

Their softer, quieter tone is something she finally takes note of. Their demeanor seems more relaxed and it's clear to her that they don't want to hurt her.

"...t-thank you... for being so nice to me..."

Of course, Mako was just being a sensible individual. But she's only ever been through worse.

She just keeps mumbling "...I'm sorry..." over and over again in a terrified, quiet tone, looking down at the ground instead of making direct eye contact with whoever she just ran into.

To be completely honest, she's terrified. Fidgeting a bit with the cuffs of her sleeves. She was so eager about getting out and seeing what Splatsville has to offer.

Yet, the FIRST thing she does is run into somebody and probably ruin their whole day. She's fully expecting them to yell at her.

"...no new decav..."

Kicking little rocks on the sidewalk next to the line of people trying to get new weapons.

She shakes her head quickly and waves her hands.

"...n-no! it's my fault... i got in your way first... i'm so sorry..."

She's incredibly apologetic, and her voice is very quiet.

kat.nc

GOOOOOD MOOORNIIIIIING AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! <3333

[ @agentcubed.bsky.social ]

Aviana is walking around Splatsville, getting caught up in its reckless allure. In her awe, she bumps right into the octo!! Oh no!!

"...ah-! s... sorry..."

She doesn't recognize them at all.

kat.nc

regrettably i am going to be very busy for a little while
i've got a final i need to finish before school ends and then I'M FREE!!!!

kat.nc

mostly because if she loses she fears being scolded and punished for incompetence.

she will one day have an arc of learning to lose and healing from the trauma that stems from her past but for now she's a bundle of anxiety and frustrations just waiting to be unravelled

kat.nc

aviana probably has militaristic kind of mannerisms from her time as an octarian soldier and it messes with her big time, esp during turf wars

babygirl is so focused on killing people that she doesn't play objective (like how i play the game)

she's also. not okay with losing.

kat.nc

gotta love switching accs to talk about aviana and then seejng the FUCKING 7 NOTIFICATIONS I LEFT FOR MYSELF

kat.nc

i keep mentally making comparisons to marumako and natkat (NOT IN A BAD WAY) and sometimes i think about how they both show affection with each other and i have to keep myself from spiralling because i WILL obssess over them
