How fortunate .
Sighing , she shakes her head , standing and placing a tip for the nice Octo waitress that served her .
( You got lucky .. )
She thought to herself in slight irritation .
โ
Since she was ....
There was no way , was SHE
that same kid of rumor ? She didn't believe it .
But before she could dismiss it off , her watch had beeped , signaling her that her commander had been ready , but to anyone else , seemed like an ordinary alarm .

แ "I have been doing this
แ since I was five years old."
If she didn't know before, now the ghost-agent definitely knew.
Karter didn't assume that it mattered to her, however. She really didn't care either way.
แ "So please think before you
แ lob useless insults at me."
แ

`` Perhaps SOMEONE shouldn't train so close to the diner other squids have been eating at ?
Or you know not suck as a person .
But maybe that would be too much to ask a NOVICE like you ? ``
แ
แ
แ
แ "Shouldn't have sat so
แ close to where I was training
แ then."
Karted had been training there for... 18-and-a-half hours straight.
A new record for her. But she should probably get some food soon.
For now though, she just wanted to focus.
But /someone/ was making+
โ
`` I was . Until you got
ink in my drink . ``
She sighed , placing the cup down and sliding it to the side . Giving a slow inhale , and an even slower exhale .
โ
แ
แ
In her opinion, attitude didn't matter in a real fight.
It was all about skill, and strategy. Her strongpoints.
แ "And who gave you
แ permission to lecture
แ me about /my/ battling
แ style?"
Fair point from the pinkette there.
แ "Go find something better to do."
แ
แ
โ
`` ... ``
Inhale .
`` ... you were being a
showoff . Ineffective .
Flashy . And worst of all ,
loud . ``
She criticizes . Truthfully , this
rude inkling was pretty skilled , atleast from what she could see .
However that skill was offset by her horrid attitude.
แ
แ
แ
แ "I was just training. And
แ besides, since when has
แ what I do been any of your
แ business?"
Karter had a natural rasp in her voice, but she was very much emphasizing it here.
แ "Continue with your snack,
แ dear. Don't waste my time."
แ
แ
แ
โ
โ
They'd just let anyone in Squidbeak these days , huh ?
Perhaps she needed to have a word with her sister . If THIS was the kind of agent that had been in .
`` Must have . Because
you were clearly trying to
show off to someone . ``
โ
แ
แ
แ
The agent just rolled her eyes.
She was not in the mood for this... but she'd humour it.
แ "You just happened to be
แ in my space. Don't think I
แ did any of that for you."
Someone needed to teach her some damn manners, apparently.
แ
แ
แ
โ
Scoff .
`` Well there must be
something ? Considering
that you did all of this just
to sit next to me . ``
She stated , in a bit of a matter of fact tone .
โ
แ
แ
แ
แ "Doubtful."
The rude inkling simply replied.
Giving the ghost-agent the cold shoulder as she continued to think about her tactics.
Karter's headset was glowing like always.
Not even trying to hide the fact she was an agent.
Nor /who/ she was. She was probably still+
โ
.... Might to have to upgrade
that "smidgen" to a "bit" of disrespect .
It honestly had been a tad much for her to deal with , and whilst she had been trying to enjoy her snack in peace , along came this inkling .
`` Can I help you ? ``
แ
แ
แ
The pink inkling just flung herself onto the bench next to Karii, leaning her splatana between her legs.
แ "Phew.."
And instantly... she just started thinking about battle strategies.
Nothing more,
nothing less.
Not even acknowledging the person next to her.
แ
แ
แ
โ
She could not help but feel like there was a smidgen of disrespect somewhere in there .
But the squid kept her cool , and simply wiped off the bit of pink ink that stained her pale cheek .
Though she ought to want to be a TINY bit more careful .
โ
แ
แ
แ
Agent 12 wasn't worrying about people recognizing her. They all knew the agents roamed the streets of Splatsville anyway.
As she got a good hit in on her training-target, she launched up and did a backflip, landing down right in front of the undercover agent.
NEARLY+
โ
It definitely was quite odd , seeing someone just practice so diligently out in the open .
But Karii paid it no mind , simply returning to her lunch and closing her eyes behind the cool pair of sunglasses she wore .
แ
แ
แ
Karter's just training (like always) not too far away.
Unaware of the ghost-agent's presence.
Damn, she's good with that Splatana.
Luckily, she's being careful to not hurt regular civilians walking by.
