Azura: *soon finds out where her hand went* (Oh, that's where it is! Pffft, silly me. It might get cold sitting there.) *attempts to move her hand to her lap*

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: *suddenly realizes she can't* (Huh?)

@puppyunity64

something wrong?

Azura: No, but, uh... can you look down? *her hand seemed to refuse to move, like it's almost... resisting* This is weird... There's no glue, or anything, it just... it won't move. Huh... I wonder why...

@puppyunity64

what can't move?

Azura: My hand. Everytime I try to pull it away from the seat, it just goes back to the same spot. It's really weird. I wonder what it wants...? Come to think of it, last time this has happened, it got chilly after the ride.

@puppyunity64

ok...hm...

Azura: *tries again. Same result* Why won't it... *Sigh...* I give up. I give up trying to move the darn thing. I dunno. Agh!

@puppyunity64

*we get to the end*

Azura: Ah. *there it is again...* That was fast.

@puppyunity64

yep. *gets off*

Azura: *follows, and looks at her hand* (Hm... Just like before. It's slightly chilly.)

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: ...Where's Frye?

@puppyunity64

um... i dont know, she said she was on the splashdown. we should wait for her there.

Azura: Ok.

@puppyunity64

*at splashdown*

Azura: Alright... Wait, isn't there supposed to be someone working there? That's slightly concerning...

@puppyunity64

S: yeah...oh! there she is.

('She' is frye)

Frye: ... I have no idea what was happening. First, I saw Captain at the entry, then she told me the color was yellow, but everyone else was pink, and then Captain said something about the ride shutting down early, and... *her eyes were wide with confusion and shock*
Azura: Whoa. That must've been a lot.

@puppyunity64

Right...

Frye: I heard laughing before she left...
Azura: Something seems suspicious... Either she's not feeling herself, or someone else is impersonating her... Hm...

@puppyunity64

N: hey.

Azura: ACK! Oh, hey. Wow, it's like you appeared out of thin air.
Frye: Ok, why was everyone else pink when you said today's color was yellow?

@puppyunity64

Sorry. trick. not seen you in a while. i also do that to some random people, since the shifts are usually as boring as shell.

Azura: Geez, you scared me there...
Frye: Yeah! *shudders* I almost thought I was gonna get cooked! Thank cod that's not true!

@puppyunity64

ok.

Azura: Well, glad to know other than you tricking Frye you're doing ok.
Frye: I mean, I guess it was pretty funny.

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: Welp, uh... guess we'll check out more of the place, I suppose?
Frye: Sure, I'll come!

@puppyunity64

S: yeah.

Azura: Ok! See you 'round, Captain!
Frye: Byeeee! Hehe!

@puppyunity64

see ya.
*later*

Azura: Whew! That was super fun! I'm excited to come back another day!
Frye: Yeah! Now... I'm bushed. *flops on the ground*
Azura: Pffft. *shakes her head playfully* I gotcha. *picks up Frye and carries her*

@puppyunity64

im going home. se ya!

Azura: Oh. Bye. *stands for a moment and breathes, then proceeds to carry Frye to her home. After she does, she will head to her own home*
Frye: *is already asleep*

@puppyunity64

*next day*

Azura: *gets up and stretches* Hmmmm... whew. *prepares for another day, like many other days*

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: *hums to herself as she walks over to the studio again*

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: 'Morning, crew.
Frye: Hiiiiii!

@puppyunity64

ey.

*hey

Azura: *sits down* Everyone ready?
Frye: Hehe! Yep! You ready, Serena?
Azura: Ready as I'll ever be.

@puppyunity64

yep. big mans sick, so he won tbe here.

Azura: Oof. Poor Big Man. Hope he gets better soon.
Frye: Yeah...

@puppyunity64

yup.

Azura: Well, let's get to work, I guess.
Frye: Whenever everyone's ready, I am!

@puppyunity64

me too.

Azura: Let's do this.
Frye: Yep!

@puppyunity64

*splatcast starts*

Azura/Frye: *begin talking about stages and all that as usual*

@puppyunity64

*splatcast ends*

Azura: That was a breeze.
Frye: Yeah! Time sure flies, huh!

@puppyunity64

yep.

Azura: Hm... what do you guys wanna do now?
Frye: Hmmmm... *shrugs*

@puppyunity64

not sure.

Azura: ... I'll go take a walk around the park. Anyone wanna come?
Frye: I'm still just a bit burnt out after Wahoo World. Thanks, though! I'll be fine here!

@puppyunity64

ill stay here.

Azura: Oh. Ok. *walks out after breathing for a moment and sighs* (Guess I'll be a bit lonely, but eh... it's fine.)

@puppyunity64

*you enter the park, there you see another octoling, walking alone. it looks like she has a mask from the summer nights splatfest*

Azura: Huh? Uh, hello? *waves gently*

@puppyunity64

hm??

*turns around, lifting her mask up, she has sky blue eyes, which glimmered* oh, hey.

Azura: What are you doing here? I'm curious.

@puppyunity64

walkin, i guess. i do it everyday. i lik the breeze at night.

Azura: I also like the breezes! And watching the stars at night? That's one of my favorite things to do sometimes.

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

yes!! the stars are beautiful. its amazing that there are so many suns... i'm himmei, by the way. nice to meet you!

Azura: Himmei, huh! I'm Azura. In Splatcasts, and such, I'm Serena. It's nice to meet you too!

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

oh, are you...um...staring at me? *laughs*

Azura: Oh, I'm sorry! Am I? Geez, I apologize if I am, haha...

@puppyunity64

its fine!! i get it a lot.

Azura: Oh, thanks. Oh, I have a lot of notifications from past Splatfests. Some I've lost, probably a few of them I've won. Eh! I bet this next Splatfest will be fun! I'm team Bread for this next Splatfest. But for the GRAND FESTIVAL, I'll be on team Future!

@puppyunity64

pfft, really? rice is way better, and the present is what really matters now. if you focused more on your future you can never truly enjoy what you are doing now if you think about your future more.

Azura: That's not why I chose team Future, thank you. Oh, it'll be on soon. Just you wait. *grins with a smirk*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

hahahahaha!!!!! i have a trick to see the stars more, thats if you aren't scared of the dark.

Azura: Pffft, I'm a bandit, genius. I've been through some tunnels, in dark buildings, you wouldn't even IMAGINE it, would ya?

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

*suddenly, the lights turn off, and its pitch black*

Azura: Hm. Well. *stands straight with her arms crossed* That's strange. Outside, too? This is getting... odd... and weird. What kind of paranormal activity is this? Surely this can't get any crazier--

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

look at the sky!!!

Azura: Hm, alright. *looks up*

@puppyunity64

*smiles*

Azura: Oh. Oh my. *her eyes widen in wonder, but just in case, she kept her guard up...*

@puppyunity64

*you could see me mei (himmei) s eyes glow in the dark*

Azura: Hmmm. *eventually lays down on the ground to recall past events. Back when she was the Prince. Even though the events made her sad, she couldn't let go. But she dealt with her emotion for every single moment*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

...

Azura: *she watched and listened to the stars closely...*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

well, i might as well go. nice meeting ya!! oh, maybe we can catch up tommorow?

Azura: Maybe. See you sometime. *she soon reconcentrated* Hm. *she closed her eyes and listened for a melody in the stars*

@puppyunity64

@AndyIsAnUndertaleFan

*mei mei leaves, and its just you*

(You tagged the wrong person!)

Azura: *sighs happily*

@puppyunity64

@puppyunity64 starts screaming because i know nothing about splatoon

@AndyIsAnUndertaleFan

lol sorry!!! i keep don it

*you hear strange noises*

Azura: *suddenly opens her eyes in suspicious concern and sits up, looking around quickly* Who or what's there?!

@puppyunity64

oh, im nobody. just the person who's coming after you....

Azura: *stands up and grabs her Splatana immediately* COME AT ME, THEN. I DARE YOU.

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

*the park was silent*

Azura: ...What's the matter? Whoever you are... or wherever you are... are you afraid to fight me?

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO
*...it seems as though they weren't there anymore*

Azura: Hmmm. *examines the place for a moment, then puts her Splatana on her back, keeping her guard up. Suddenly, after a few minutes, she feels slightly warm* Huh...?

@puppyunity64

*the lights flicker back on*

Azura: *Sigh...* *heads to sit down on a bench and cool down for a moment before doing anything else*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

*the stars slowly dissapear, as the light blocks them*

Azura: Hm. *crosses her legs while sitting. Suddenly shakes just slightly, feeling slightly cold for a few seconds* What was that... *looks around* Hm... Eh.

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: *shrugs and gets back to relaxing--*

@puppyunity64

*you suddenly become too comfortable, and fall asleep .. . *

Azura: Hmmmm... *her eyes close and she starts dreaming of almost fascinating and beautiful things...*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

*you remember happy times of your past*

Azura: Hehe... *smiles in her sleep*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

*you wake up, the sun glowing in your eyes*

Azura: Huh-- AH-- *nearly falls over from the bench from the gleaming light (she was laying down on it), when she felt an arm reach and catch her. One of her eyes quickly opens to examine the situation* Hm?

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

S: why wa syou out here, azura?

Azura: Uh, haha... I was taking a moment of chill. *slightly blushes, just a little embarrassed* Er, *ahem*... Thanks.

@puppyunity64

*lifts you up* we got break agwin, apparently the cameras ain't working.

Azura: Oh. Thanks for letting me know, Shiv. Gives me some time to recover from that burning light. Heh...

@puppyunity64

yeah...anything happened on your wlk?

Azura: Eh, nothing much. Just... stuff. *shrugs and smiles*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

ok...? Azura, i want to know, though.

Azura: ...Ok, fine! I met an octoling named Himmei, we had a bit of a chat, then the sky went suddenly dark and the stars were AMAZING. Then some presumed creep started talking to me... Eh, a lot's been happening, I guess. *suddenly spots a flower on the ground*

@puppyunity64

ooh, a flower!

Azura: (Ohoho... this'll be the perfect time to say something, Azura! Don't stall, or you'll never be able to! But be careful, and gentle too...) *Ahem*, uh... *stands up and grabs the flower* So...

@puppyunity64

dont you dare pluck it.

Azura: (Oh shoot, I think I messed up already...) *lets go of the flower hesitantly* *Sigh...* *grabs her arm softly*

@puppyunity64

(sorry, who's arm? XD)

(Azura's own.)

@puppyunity64

(k)

...

Azura: Sorry, I just wanted to be generous, I wanted to say something, but... ok. I won't. *looks at the ground, embarrassed for the actions she nearly took*

@puppyunity64

its fine, azura. please say it, for me?

Azura: R-really? Ok... So, despite the fact that team Palace lost... *takes a deep breath...*

@puppyunity64

yeah....

Azura: You're still a form of royalty to me, my cold-blooded shark queen. ...I hope that's kind of me to say. Because if it's not, then I won't say anything like that again, for your comfort and sake. *blushes hard*

@puppyunity64

hehe...that kind, azura.

Azura: *suddenly smiles softly* (Her laugh is so cute...) I'm glad you like it. *blushes more*

@puppyunity64

*smiles*

Azura: *sits back down, relaxed, sighing happily* That felt good to get out of my chest...

@puppyunity64

what do you want to do?

Azura: Hm, I dunno. What do you think? (Although, I'm kinda hungry... maybe some good breads at a restaurant might hit the spot...)

@puppyunity64

i'll ask the others.

Azura: Oh, uh, ok. (Huh, I was kinda hoping this would be a little us time, but, eh. I guess that works too. Oh well, Azura. maybe some other day.)

@puppyunity64

*getsup from the bench*

Azura: *also gets up*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

right, lets go to the others.

Azura: *nods, then reaches out her hand softly*

@puppyunity64

...? *smiles, and takes her hand*

Azura: *also smiles, blushing, when suddenly*
???: Oooooo, sweet, sweet interaction we're having here, huh?
*A yellow inkling stood, smirking, with two pipe cleaner flowers in each hand, one pink, one blue*
Azura: ... Were you spying on us, Frye? *shakes her head playfully*

@puppyunity64

hahah, very funny frye. *bonks her in the head* anyway as you know, we are struggling to think of a place to go to.

Frye: Ow, haha. Well, first, I had some gifts for you two! *holds out the pipe cleaner flowers and smiles*
Azura: Oh, you did not have to, heh...

@puppyunity64

thanjs....

Frye: Second, me and Big Man were talking about going to this place that had good food. They have everything from the next Splatfest theme! I'm dying to try their rice bowls!
Azura: Oh, then that seems like a great place to go! Hmmm, imagine all the fluffiness of the breads they could have there... *sighs happily*

@puppyunity64

@AzuraIkasu-HachiGO

we'll go there, i guess!

Frye: Yippee! I'm gonna tell Big Man we're going!
Azura: *smiles* I can't wait! *puts one of the pipe cleaner flowers in her hair*

@puppyunity64

*later*

Azura: Mmm, something smells so good~!
Frye: Oh, you can bet I'm HUNGRY! The smell is making my mouth water! Hehe~!

@puppyunity64

Ay!! (yum!)

Azura: Man, this place looks fancy in both stylish and culinary design! Mmm~!!
Frye: Oh, who cares about the fancy parts! I care about the TASTY parts! ♥
Azura: Classic Frye, haha.

@puppyunity64

S: *chuckles*

Azura: Oh, I think it's time we got seated!
Frye: Oh yeah! Whoopsies!

@puppyunity64

St: hello, may i take your order?

Azura: I'll have some of the finest breads, please?
Frye: I'll take a few rice bowls! *Ahem*, please and thanks!

@puppyunity64

i'll have bread, please?

St: alright, we'll have it sorted in a jiffy! may i show you where your table is?

Azura: Well, what do we think? I'm down.
Frye: I think so!

@puppyunity64

Azura: *follows*
Frye: *also follows*

@puppyunity64

right here, now enjoy your time.

Azura: Thank you! *bows her head in thanks*
Frye: Yeah, thanks! *smiles and does a double thumbs-up*

@puppyunity64

* the waiter leaves*

Azura: Ooh, this is comfortable! I think I could get used to this!
Frye: Me too! Heh!

@puppyunity64

Ay... (i can't sit anywhere..)

Azura: Oh shoot, uh, what do we do...
Frye: Oop!

@puppyunity64

Ay! (i'll be fine!!)

Azura: Oh, ok.
Frye: Aight, if you're sure!

@puppyunity64

Azura: Oooh, thanks! Wow!
Frye: Mmmm, smells good!

@puppyunity64

Thanks.

Azura: Oooh, that looks SO good! Time to dig in!
Frye: YEAHH!! Oh, I mean... Yippee!

@puppyunity64

Azura: *takes a bite of bread and instantly feels warm inside* Mmmmhmhmmm~! ♥
Frye: *tastes the rice, then continues eating happily* ♪!

@puppyunity64

mm, thats nice.

Azura: *her ears wiggle and her tentacles curl up*
Frye: *continues eating and thinks to herself* (This rice is so delightful! But not as delightful as that face of Azura's! Hehe!)

@puppyunity64

*they continue eting*

*Eventually...*
Azura: Ahhhh~ I'm stuffed! *her ears continue wiggling and her tentacles remain happily curled*
Frye: Me too! That was delish!

@puppyunity64

it was nice.

Azura: I'm glad we came! And united as a team.
Frye: Aw, you! *gently elbows Azura for fun*
Azura: *smirks and gently elbows Frye back*

@puppyunity64

what do you want to do now?

Azura: Hm...
Frye: *Idea!* I have tickets to Wahoo World!
Azura: You do?

@puppyunity64

Not again, really?

Frye: Is... that a bad thing?
Azura: (Ooh, that sounded slightly concerning...)

@puppyunity64

no, its just that...actually, if you want, then sure.

Frye: Hm... Maybe another day! I'll save these for some other time. Don't wanna exhaust everyone!
Azura: Really? Alright, if you're sure. Hm. Oh! Maybe at night, we could ALL watch the stars! It might be fun!

@puppyunity64

S: stars? what made you bring up that?

Azura: I've always liked watching the stars sometimes. Whenever I look, it reminds me of... way back then.
Frye: Huh, really? Sounds interesting.

@puppyunity64

ok.

Azura: Really?
Frye: I'm down, too! How about you, Big Man?

@puppyunity64

ay!! (sure!)

Frye: It's settled, then! We're seeing STARS tonight. ladies and the Big Man! WOO!
Azura: Woohoo! I can't wait!

@puppyunity64

lets go!!

Azura: Already? Ok!
Frye: Huh! Considering it's gotten a little dark!

@puppyunity64

*later

Azura: *laying down on the ground, smiling as she looks up at the night sky*
Frye: *quietly watches and becomes happy*

@puppyunity64

...this is nice.
Ay!! (yeah! you can see so much stars!!)

Azura: Yeah...! *her eyes were filled with wonder*
Frye: Hehe! You said it!

@puppyunity64

*later*

Azura: ... *Beep! Azura woke up to her phone notification sound* (Oh shoot! Notification! Wonder what this is about--) *her eyes widen as she checked* (Ah...?!)

@puppyunity64

*the notification showed the big event. the grand festival.*

Azura: ...AAAAAAAA!! *she panicked and dashed to figure out her outfit, until she came across an outfit that basically called to her* (Ok, perfect... whew! That was quite the rush!)

@puppyunity64

*suddenly, she got a ring from a number that she didnt recognise*

Azura: Huh? Who the heck... *picks up the phone, suspicious* Hello...? (This had better not be any derailment, because I have a job to do, and I must commit to it!!)

@puppyunity64

hi. uhhhh ... oh wait, wrong number, sorry!!! but before you go, do you like the sqid sisters?

Azura: Er, yes? Who is this, by the way?

@puppyunity64

Oh, thanks!!! *beep*

Azura: ... (They didn't answer my question... Oh well.) *looks in the mirror* (You ready for a big event, girl? I bet you are.) *suddenly hears a loud, almost panicky slam from her door and her eyes widen*

@puppyunity64

*Azura opens the door, it was shiver and frye*

Azura: Oh, shoot. What's up, girls? Is there... what the heck?
Frye: *breathing heavily from dashing to Azura's place, unable to speak*

@puppyunity64

you ready?

Azura: Y-yeah! Also, what happened? I heard a slam...? Btw, you two look so good!
Frye: *Ahem*, sorry, I accidentally crashed into the door. Thank cod I didn't dash into it too hard! Whew! Also, thanks! Hehehe!

@puppyunity64

Thanks. now c'mon!! big man's waiting!!

Azura: Roger that, my capable leader! *salutes playfully*
Frye: *smiles* Haha! Let's get going!

*They take the train, and they see some familiar faces...*

Azura: Wait, what the...
Frye: Huh?

@puppyunity64

Mrna: nice!! theres gonna be a lot of people, though...

Azura: Welp, we're idols. We'll probably need some big stages, though.

Azura: *smiles as she sings, then suddenly has a warm feeling* (The past was wonderful, the present is beautiful... and the future will be glorious!!)

@puppyunity64

*The night goes on, but it feels like eternity...the the sun is slowy rising*

Azura: *she dances and sings flourishingly, like the flower of a cherry blossom*

@puppyunity64

*one by one, the cephalos walk away, until its just the performers*

Azura: *smiles* Welp, looks like we truly did give these people a grand performance! Perhaps either something else grand will happen, or this is our grandest act yet. Eh!

Frye: *smirks at Azura playfully* Hehe...
Azura: ...Why are you looking at me like that, Frye?

@puppyunity64

S: uuuhhh...frye?

Frye: Er, I mean...!! *looks away, slightly embarrassed*
Azura: *confused, but still blushing for some reason*

@puppyunity64

*someone runs up to the front, getting as close as possible to the idols, looking up*
???: *their eyes sparkle*

Azura: Oh! Hello! *stops blushing*
Frye: Ooh, hi~!
*Callie and Pearl smile*

@puppyunity64

The-the-the squid sisters...right in front of me!! WOAH!!
*a person grabs them by the coat*
I don't think they want to be bothered right now!!

*the first voice was familiar to azura*

Azura: (Wait a second... is that...?)

@puppyunity64

Hey, have i met you before? *points to azura*

Azura: *kneels down to get a little bit closer* Maybe...?

@puppyunity64

*you notice the eyes*

Azura: (Those eyes...?)

@puppyunity64

Hey!! your voice!! *at azura* you're the person who was on the phone!!

Azura: Huh! I never got my question answered... although you look so familiar... Who are you?

@puppyunity64

Im hera!!! this is Aoi!

Azura: Oh! Hera! Aoi! Pleasure to see you both! Heh!
Frye: *smiles*

@puppyunity64

A:oh! and you are...?

Azura: Azura Serena Ikasu, fellow member of Deep Cut! *bows*

@puppyunity64

A: nice!!
H: Callie and marie though!! ive never TALKED TO THEM!!
A: i dont think anyone has anyway.

Callie: You talking about us? I mean, I'm up for a chat!
Azura: Heheh.

@puppyunity64

R-really?
Mae: sure, we dont mind.

Callie: Welp, excuse us for a moment, team! We have some chatting to do~!
Pearl: Absolutely no worries!
Frye: Yep!
Azura: *smiles*

@puppyunity64

*squeals*
*the others chat away, while aoi comes to the others*
A: hey there, you all did a great job performing.

Azura: Of course!
Frye: *smiles happily*

@puppyunity64

You...better get going, though. we're all waiting for the results.

Azura: Huh. Welp, looks like the results shall get tallied!
Frye: This will be interesting!

@puppyunity64

I'll come with you!! obviously not on splatcast, but i'd be happy to chat!

on the way back!

Azura: I mean, I'm not open to chat at the moment. But ok!
Frye: I can chat if that's fine!
Pearl: We'll probably head back to Inkopolis! See ya!

@puppyunity64

mrna: byee!!!
S: see you. we better go back to splatsville, yeah.

Azura: *smiles, then her hand starts to feel cold once more* (This again... What the heck?)
Frye: Byeeee!

@puppyunity64

A: you good?

Azura: Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just another chilly hand event. It's strange. But I won't let it bother me too much. (Wait... I FINALLY SAID WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY HAND WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE AROUND?) *eyes widen*
Frye: *she turns her head to Azura, surprised* Wait... how did your hand get cold in the first place?

@puppyunity64

A: yeah...do you need a doctor?

Azura: No! No... It's probably just from an event before I became who I am today... Right, it was from when my hand was, unbeknownst to me, at my side. I don't know why it keeps doing this, though. Eh, it's probably nothing serious.
Frye: Oh.

@puppyunity64

A: okay, sure...

Azura: (It's probably back from the boat ride... Why do I have at least a minor intrusive thought to--) *her hand suddenly grew warmer* (Huh...?)

@puppyunity64

S: AAAAGH!! we need to go, quick!! splatcast is starting soon!

Azura: WHOA!!!
Frye: ACK!! COMING!!

@puppyunity64

Azura: Whew! That was a rush...

Frye: Ready when everyone else is! WOO!!

Azura: Dang, we got crushed...

@puppyunity64

C: we really did make history, huh, marie?

Azura: Wow, they did...
Frye: Welp... Looks like we can do nothing about it now.

@puppyunity64

Mrna: well, i had a good time though, the moment was so...amazing!!

Pearl: It sure was!
Callie: Thanks for an epic battle and festival! Stay fresh!
Azura: Haha... Catch ya later, fellas.
Frye: Yeah!

@puppyunity64

mrna: Don't get cooked!!

S: bye!!

Azura: ...Wow, that was an event.
Frye: Especially with the whole union thing? I think Big Man's right, actually!
Azura: HUH?

@puppyunity64

S: yeah, about collabing, n' stuff.
Ay, ay?! (really?!)

Azura: You guys...!
Frye: All those happy faces? That made me feel happy!

@puppyunity64

yeah...

Frye: Yeah!
Azura: *she felt warm as a single tear flowed down her cheek, but she tried to hold back the rest...*

@puppyunity64

...serena, your crying live?

Azura: Haha... I'm fine, I'm fine. (I AM NOT FINE, THIS IS TOO SWEET...!)
Frye: *suddenly notices and watches*

@puppyunity64

Ay..(we better wrap up, anyway.)
S: yeah, *smiles*

Azura: *tries her best to hold back until wrapping and smiles nervously* Ok...! It's fine!
Frye: Welp, I guess it's indeed a wrap!

@puppyunity64

that a wrap...
Catch ya later!!!

Azura: *smiles nervously until the camera doesn't show the group anymore... and another tear of joy was leaked*

@puppyunity64

S: are you good?

Azura: ...! *suddenly starts to wildly sob* YOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET...!! I CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANYMORE!! AGH!!

@puppyunity64

awww...*smiles*

Frye: *smiles*
Azura: *continues crying* I feel like I deserve a little comfort... even if I don't actually get it. But do I really...?

@puppyunity64

*puts hand on azuras back* everyone does.
Ay...? ay, ay ay!! (uhh....? I think we're still recording!!)

Azura: Wait, what? *tears of joy were still flowing down, almost like tiny waterfalls, and she suddenly blushes from the hand on her back*
Frye: Huh? Why are we still recording?

@puppyunity64

UH THATS A WRAP!!! Did you forget to turn the camera off?!
J: *turns it off and bows in apology*

Azura: Haha... *suddenly feels warm and blushes harder* Huh?
Frye: Hm? Oop! Hehehe! ♪

@puppyunity64

*sighs*

Azura: H-hmm...

@puppyunity64

...soooo...

Azura: *she feels herself start to get all snuggly as she starts to feel sleepy*
Frye: Oop, hehe. Must've been an all-nighter for the little one!

@puppyunity64

yeah.

Azura: *her eyes slowly start to close as she drifts deeper and deeper into her comforting sleep*

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: ...
Frye: Aww, she's all tuckered out! Sweet little thing.

@puppyunity64

*chuckles*

Azura: *smiles, comfortable*
Frye: Hehe!

@puppyunity64

*later*

Azura: Hm...? *her eyes slightly open as she slowly starts to wake up*

@puppyunity64

(Sorry for the sudden come-back,i feel like i'm having a spoon phase :D
It's okay if you don't wanna do it tho :3)

Shiver: Hey, sleepyhead. good morning, or night...it doesn't really matter.

*Afternoon

(Oh, hey! I'm open to do a comeback!)

Azura: Oh, uhh... hey... hehe~ *smiles softly*

@puppyunity64

Shiver: Did you have a good sleep? You were out for a few hours.

Azura: Yeah, heh... *giggles sheepishly*

@puppyunity64

Shiver: That's good. *Smiles*
Big Man: Ay! Ay! (Guys! I've just been told we have the rest of the day off again!)

Shiver: What, really? Thats great, No more work...again. What should we do then?

Frye: It's so great! We get to do whatever on our free time! It's gonna be soooo fun!!
Azura: *smiles* Yeah.

@puppyunity64

Shiver: Hmmm....*Taps fan on mouth, thinking* Hey, we should check some other places around splatsville, or inkopolis. The city's are pretty big.

Frye: Ooh, interesting! I like it!
Azura: Hmm... *nods*

@puppyunity64

Sound good? So, Inkopolis or The city of chaos?

*Shiver:

Azura: Hm... maybe we can visit Inkopolis! Might be a good idea to explore some different stuff, right?
Frye: Yeah, probably! It'll be pretty fun!

@puppyunity64

Shiver: Okay, then. To Inkopolis!

Big Man: Ay! (Let's go!)

Azura: Let's go!
Frye: We should wear the matching hairclips, too! That way, it'll be more fun!
Azura: Matching hairclips, huh! Interesting!

@puppyunity64

Shiver: Sure!

Big Man: Ay..? (How am i supposed to...?

Frye: You could wear yours with the rope from your hat!
Azura: Ahh... effective and painless! One of the greatest feelings! Right?

@puppyunity64

Ay, Ay! (Oh, Yeah! Thanks Frye!)

Frye: Of course! Heh!
Azura: *smiles* (I'm so glad I'm part of this group.)

@puppyunity64

*Inkopolis*

Shiver: I know we rival this place, but wow....

BGM: Ay... (The sky...)

Azura: (Huh?) *looks up at the sky* (Ah...!) *her eyes widen in wonder*
Frye: Yeah, wow...

@puppyunity64

Shiver: I wonder if we'll run into any of the other idols here, and let's hope we don't get a crowd swarming us like salmonids.

Azura: *shudders* I'd rather have some peace and quiet on a day off...!
Frye: Yeah. Yikes.

@puppyunity64

Ay, Ay! Ay... (Hey, it's the other idols! What a coincidence...)

Azura: Oh, well, that's interesting!
Frye: Hah! Super great! The others might either be happy or surprised to see us here! Well, who knows! *slaps Azura's back playfully*
Azura: OOF!! *WHEEZE...* *Sigh...* Never change, Frye. Hehe. Ow.

@puppyunity64

Shiver: Oof...Hey,Maybe we should say hi!

Azura: Hm... maybe! *winces* Owie.
Frye: Oooh, sorry, Azura.
Azura: It's fine~, haha... Ouch.

@puppyunity64

Shiver: *walks over* hey, y'all.

Frye: *follows* Heyyyy!
Azura: *waves as she follows*

@puppyunity64

Marie: Oh, hey! Didn't expect us to all be here.

Marina: Oh! Deep Cut, It's been a while!

Shiver: Didn't we see each other yesterday?

Frye: Hah! Feels like ages ago, eh!
Azura: Pfffftt. *smirks*

@puppyunity64

Shiver: what are you all doing here, though?

Callie: Oh, we're just hanging out! Nothing much!
Pearl: Yeah! And it's awesome!
Callie: Also, love the hairclips!
Frye: You bet! And thanks! Heh!
Azura: *smiles happily*

@puppyunity64

Shiver: woah, you noticed? *Smiles*
Ay! ay ay, ay? (That's cool! maybe we could hang out, since we're all here?

*BGM

Callie: I'd love to! It's gonna be super fun!
Pearl: Yeah! Idol hangout time!
Frye: Woo! Let's gooo!
Azura: *beams*

@puppyunity64

Marine: Yay! This will be so much fun...!

Marie: Sure, it would be nice to go out together.

Frye: Hehe!
Azura: *looks at the sky and sighs happily*

@puppyunity64

Shiver: Since you guys are the inkopolis experts...You could show us around some of the places, hm?

Marie: Oh, Sure. Theres a LOT of fresh places in inkopolis.

Marina: great food near the square as well!

BGM: Ay!! Ay...ay! (Woah!! Sounds...amazing!)

Frye: Whoa... Food sounds great!
Callie: There's a lot to do here!
Frye: I bet!
Azura: Heh! This'll be quite interesting!

@puppyunity64

Shiver: mhm.

Azura: Yeah, heh... *smiles softly*

@puppyunity64

Marie: So! where to first?

Frye: Maybe... the food? I'm pretty hungry!
Azura: *bursts into laughter* Classis Frye!
Frye: Heyyyyy! Can ya blame me?!

@puppyunity64

Marina: Oh, sure! theres many places! we could go....uhhh...Pearl?

Azura: Uh... well, that's concerning. *suddenly feels a sense of dread and darkness looming over her* Something's horribly wrong.
Frye: ...What's happening?
Callie: Huh?!

@puppyunity64

Marie: Hey! you good? whats wrong?

Shiver: Azura?

Azura: ...We need to hide. Now. Something very wrong is going to happen. I can feel it.
Frye: Wait, what's going on?!
Azura: There's been prophecies of a strong entity that'll steal each of the Anarchy colors. Blue, yellow, red. All of you could be in danger. *mentions to each of her comembers* He's very dangerous. And very powerful.

@puppyunity64

Shiver: what do you mean by that, Azur-
Marie: you heard her. we need to hide.

Azura: (I can't tell anyone what I plan to do after they hide...) And we're gonna need to do it fast. He's approaching. I can just feel that dread in the air...
Frye: But if he's looking for the Anarchy colors, then... is he gonna be targeting just us, or...?!
Azura: Don't worry. I'll hold him off.

@puppyunity64

Shiver: No, Azura. You have to come with us.

Azura: Shiv... it's for the best. If he finds you guys, he's not going to go easy on you. Someone has to protect her team. And if anything, I don't want to lost you guys. I don't want to lose you, especially. I'm doing this for your sake, and for everyone's safety. Especially since I've heard this prophecy for a few moments. It's best not to stop me.
Frye: ...! (Is she for eel...?!)

@puppyunity64

Shiver: ...*sigh* okay. Where are we running, then?

Azura: I dunno, just find anywhere secluded, safe, quiet, and out of his sight. (I don't care if I disappear from this world forever... I'm doing something I never thought I would do after years. This has to be done.)
Frye: *reluctantly nods and quickly searches for a hiding spot*

@puppyunity64

Marie: Maybe Altera's a good place to hide, or somthing.

Frye: Good idea! Let's go!! *runs off to the place Marie mentioned*
Azura: ... (Welp... now's the moment of truth. Now... or never.)
???: *eventually arrives and looks at Azura, clearly recognizing her* You...
Azura: *glares at the entity with determination* Novena, Theif of Anarchy. I'm not afraid of you... Go ahead. Face me. Leave my group alone.

@puppyunity64

(wait, who should i b? Sorry lol :sweat_smile: )

(Maybe one of the idols secretly witnessing the event?)

Novena: Azura Serena Ikasu. Prince of the forgotten fourth clan joint, and nearly the last of your family. Your time has come. Your Anarchy Rainbow will now become my property.
Azura: Do it, then. Take me and my energy. If anything, it's the only thing that'll keep my people safe.
Novena: Oh... willing to sacrifice your own life for them? I never expected it... but very well. But this will be settled in a duel.

@puppyunity64

Shiver: *watches in horror*

Novena: If I succeed, I'll keep your body and soul. But if you succeed, I'll let you and your people live your normal lives. And I'm sure your determined to partake this for... a certain someone?
Azura: As long as you leave her and the others alone, it's a deal.
Novena Very well. Proceed and commence the duel. *the giant void glows a blinding white and black ink shoots out to slowly consume Azura*
Azura: *doesn't flinch, but a few tears show* (This is for your sake...)

@puppyunity64

...

Shiver: NO!!! AZURA!! *Runs out, unable to help herself*

Azura: *looks at Shiver suddenly* Don't stop me, Shiver. This is only for me to handle. *smiles, purposefully not hiding her tears* I love you, and I'd do anything for you. This is for your sake... my beloved ruby eyed queen. *eventually lets herself disappear with the portal that consumed her*

@puppyunity64

....*stares. unable to blink*.

*Azura's hairclip and the familiar golden chain with the familiar blue stone ring pendant suddenly fall from the sky, landing with only a soft clink. A sign of hope, perhaps?*

@puppyunity64

*Walks over to it, and grasps the clip in her hand* Azura...

...? A ring...?

(Meanwhile...)

Azura: *in the arena, her tentacles turned a dull gray as she faced a different form of Novena, who shaped himself into a humanoid to battle Azura herself*
Novena: Let the duel begin. *suddenly charges at Azura with a strange splatana*
Azura: *suddenly strikes back, causing a bright flash of white*

@puppyunity64

*The stone ring was in fact the electric blue moon pendant discovered from a few moments ago, still connected to the golden chain*

What....it this?

(The pendant softly pulsed with a blue light)

Azura: *she attacked Novena swiftly, continuing to make flashes like thunder, and soon, the light she sparked became more colorful as her tentacles slowly boiled with rainbows*
Novena: Grrrr!! *strikes Azura and hits her right eye, causing it to scar*
Azura: GAH!! *falls onto the ground, but quickly recovers*

@puppyunity64

Huh?!

Azura: *eventually, her tentacles became a full rainbow, and she was ready to deliver the final blow as she released her Ultra Weapon, the Anarchy Beam* This... is... IT!! *she unleashed the beam, making a colorful scenario in the sky*
Novena: No... nonoNO--!! *is struck with the beam and becomes nothing more than black blobs of ink*

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: (Hm. Well, that was easier than expected. Oh well, time to head back. I'm sure she's worried sick, too... I better hurry.) *glows with a vivid white as she begins to descend with an array of colors, approaching like a comet, her appearance transforming in the process*

@puppyunity64

...?

Azura: *suddenly lands in the Splat Lands, causing a distant gush of sand to skyrocket for a brief moment*

@puppyunity64

*it was empty. a barren wasteland. train tracks were in the far distance.*

Azura: *gets up and shakes the sand off from her tentacles* WHEW. Sheesh kabobs. Talk about a dusty landing, huh.

@puppyunity64

*A figure emerges from the light gale of sand in the air*

Azura: *suddenly notices this and becomes slightly confused* Eh? Who's there?

@puppyunity64

*They walked closer to you. they were hooded. and Tall. Much taller thank most cepnalopods*

Azura: Who are you?! State your identities! *stands her ground in case she could be facing more entities*

@puppyunity64

*or identity if we're talking singular.*

?: Are...you okay?

Azura: ... Just got done fighting off one of the biggest enemies of this entire place. What do you expect? Hm?

@puppyunity64

You....Just fell from the sky!

Azura: Well, not everyday you expect someone to just magically appear on the ground area, huh? Too predictable? Too boring? Someone has to make quite a unique comeback entrance, eh? EH?

@puppyunity64

...who are you, um...octoling?

Azura: Azura Serena Ikasu, member of Deep Cut, and the prince of the Hohojiro and Ikasu clan joint. And you?

@puppyunity64

I....um...

Azura: ...

@puppyunity64

am...Reverie. i'm a traveller, actually...searching for ruins form the past...weird, i know...haha...

Azura: I see. *looks around* I should probably get back to my friends. It was nice meeting you, I guess. *runs off*

@puppyunity64

...o-oh...b....bye!!

Azura: *runs and continues running, and soon, she sees Inkopolis at a good distance and smiles, ready for the reactions*

@puppyunity64

...

Azura: *arrives quietly, planning to surprise her friends*

@puppyunity64

Shiver:Azura...?!

Azura: Oh! Well, hello, Shiv! So, where do I start? Heh. *grins proudly*

@puppyunity64

where did you go?! you shouldn't have done that!

Azura: Aha, well... I may have lied about this whole "entity coming after you three" kinda thing, but... at least the place is safe now, right? I just wanted to make sure you guys didn't get hurt. *smiles* I... especially wanted to make sure you didn't get hurt.

@puppyunity64

thank you...i'm so glad you're not hurt.

Azura: Heh. I'm okay. Don't worry. *winks playfully*

@puppyunity64

*smiles*

Azura: So, you wanna hang out and eat anything or something like that? My treat~! *smirks playfully*

@puppyunity64

Sure!

Azura: Woo! I can tell the both of us are NOT gonna regret this! *chuckles proudly* I'll even get you your favorite chocolate if possible~! Hehe!

@puppyunity64

Milk? But according to splatfest rules, white chocolate is better. let's celebrate the splatfest and your comeback, hm?

Azura: Oh, I'll still get you your dark chocolate! That'll be my way of treating you since you were probably super worried about me. ...You still like dark chocolate, right?

@puppyunity64

why, of course!

Azura: Heh! Glad I remembered! *giggles* This is gonna be so good! A well deserved day of hanging out after all that trouble!

@puppyunity64
