There was no real cause for alarm now that the Octarians had gone tame, and thinking of their grandfather gave them a good laugh. It was true that their schedules had kept them too busy to pay him a proper visit, but they hadn't seen his head poke out of the usual manhole recently, either.
The conversation turned to Cap'n Cuttlefish, more precisely that neither of them had seen him lately. "That Sheldon has always had a nose for business," the girls agreed. He had his eyes on a prime spot in the part of town that was quickly becoming the new hotness for the Turf War set. It turns out Sheldon was busy himself, planning to expand Ammo Knights to a second location. "Do you think Annie and Sheldon.?!" Callie blurted out in excitement. The more she did it, the more she felt like this detail-oriented part-time job suited her perfectly. She'd been keeping busy recently, helping decorate weapons at Ammo Knights. Truth be told, she'd never been much of a people anemone and felt like she'd given retail the old college try.
"He's always been a bit impulsive."Īccording to Crusty Sean, Annie had been looking for a new gig as well. "I hope he'll be OK," Marie said with some concern. A friend introduced a new opportunity, and Sean went for it. He'd been the store manager there for years but had long dreamt of opening a place of his own. It seems Sean had recently quit his job at Shrimp Kicks. While they ate, Callie invited Marie to go shopping, and she gladly accepted. Marie looked a bit surprised to see Callie up and about but greeted her friend in stride. She decided to head back to the apartment alone.Ĭallie was making breakfast when Marie came home. Callie couldn't remember the last time she'd seen Marie talking so cheerfully with anyone besides her, and she didn't want to spoil their fun. Marie had been a bit shy when they had first come to the city, after all. Perhaps it was because their hometowns were so close to one another that Callie and Marie both found Sean so easy to talk to. They were seated at a table, chatting away. She made up her mind to find Marie and invite her out for a day of much needed relaxation.Ĭallie found Marie at a café with Crusty Sean. Work had barely given her time to breathe lately-she'd been feeling a bit lost at sea herself. "But worrying about her all day won't fix anything," Callie thought. Or maybe something had happened to upset her. Maybe she was just tired from working too hard. The very idea stung Marie with a twinge of self-loathing.
SPLATOON 2 MARIE FULL
Maybe winning that final Splatfest has made you full of yourself." Maybe all this worrying has actually given you some sort of superiority complex. You know Callie would never feel that way. "Just listen to yourself, Marie-you're overthinking this. "How had Callie truly felt when the results of the final Splatfest had been announced? She seemed disappointed, of course, but that was just because she'd lost.right? Or was she actually jealous of my rising popularity? Could she still be holding it against me after all this time?" Knowing work would keep Callie out late, Marie busied herself with the chores that always seemed to pile up and waited for her friend to return home.Īt times like this, Marie's thoughts always seemed to drift. Chances to relax at home like this would soon become few and far between. She'd gotten a day off, but with theater rehearsals starting up next month, she knew life would be returning quickly to its frantic pace. Filming would often continue late into the night, and many days she didn't return home at all. Callie, true to her outgoing nature, began to make guest appearances on variety shows. After releasing their first solo recordings, though, their work began to take them down separate paths more frequently. They were always together, both at work and at play. But even after their finances had stabilized and they'd gotten used to the bustle of Inkopolis, they never gave a thought to living apart.
It had all happened naturally when they'd first arrived: being roommates made adjusting to city life easier, and besides, the two had been inseparable since they were young. Their days became filled-from dawn to dusk-with the duties of this newfound fame.Ĭallie and Marie still lived in the first apartment they rented upon moving to Inkopolis. Callie and Marie went from mere Inkopolis idols to the biggest stars in Inkling society, seemingly overnight. The final Splatfest rocketed the Squid Sisters to new heights of popularity.
