"Finished!"
Aria climbed down the ladder and wiped her brow, beaming at her final product. In front of her was a little ice cream shoppe she had spent weeks prepping for the grand opening. A neon sign flashed above the doors read "iSEA CREAM" with a picture of a tiny clownfish enjoying a frozen treat with a bright red cherry on top. In front of the clear double doors was two spinning barber shop poles in orange and white. It wasn't easy to get a place near the Booyah Base, but with the help of her friend and fellow anemone Annie, location hadn't been much of a problem.
Skipping inside, Aria breathed in a fresh breath and stared at her renovations in pride. Orange plush booths hugged the walls with cream tables in between them, metal tea tables stood at the center of the shop, with matching metal chairs pulled up to them. Across the polished marble floor, at the other end of the room stood an ice cream bar complete with many different flavors of ice cream and toppings.
It was small, but it was hers, and she couldn't be more proud. Thankfully, Annie agreed to hand out coupons to her shoppe at her own store "Cooler Heads," so hopefully, Inklings and Octolings alike can come to her shoppe (after nonchalantly shoving several flyers into Octo Valley).
Tying an orange apron around her back, Aria prepared for customers and pushed her poofy blue and green hair back, filled with determination.

The font door's bell lightly rang as Cato walked into the ice cream shop. Warm weather was frequent in the last few weeks; making traveling around Inkopolis slightly more tedious to those who wore long-sleeved gear. Like him. Perhaps a cool drink (or something similar) was in order.
Earlier, he had picked up a coupon for what was the new store. It was a bit small, but as was any new business. To be honest, he didn't mind, as it was better than being in a sea of people all of the time.
"Hello..?" He said, studying the area for a staff member.
Maybe they were still setting up?

Aria's pointed ears pricked up at the voice. She bounced up from behind the counter and flashed a smile.
"Hello!" She said, "Welcome to iSEA CREAM! We have many different flavors of ice cream, frozen yogurt, or milkshakes" The anemone gestured to the chalkboard behind her naming all kinds of flavors, like Orange Squidsicle, Inkberry, Rocky Road, etc.
"Since you're my first customer," she admitted sheepishly, "it's on the house!"

He eyed the board, amazed. Gosh, this place had so many flavors, it was hard to choose! Well, at least there was something for everyone.
"I think i'll just have a vanilla milkshake, but..." he begun, "I'd feel bad if you didn't at least have some sort of payment." He grabbed his wallet, and pulled out a few gold coins, setting them on the counter.

"Coming right up! And if you reeeally want to pay me, you can go ahead and put some coins into the tip jar." As she was scooping the vanilla ice cream into her blender, Aria looked at her customer.
"So," she questioned, "You do turf wars and stuff like that, right? What's it like? Is it fun?" The anemone loaded the device with ice, whipped cream, and a little extra milk and turned it on.

Quietly placing the coins into the glass jar, he thought for a sec, and then begun to answer.
"Yeah, I do! it's pretty enjoyable. Even if i'm not one to typically like sports," Cato answered, " and Turf Wars are actually a really nice way to meet people! Even if it can be a little bit...chaotic at times."

Aria leaned against the counter and beamed at her customer.
"I always wanted to participate in them, but I can't exactly ah, turn into a squid," She laughed nervously, "but they look like a lot of fun! Maybe one day they'll have tournaments for people like me."
Suddenly, the blender started to gurgle and shake violently. Hearing the noises, the woman turned around only to have vanilla milkshake burst in her face. The ice cream was spewing everywhere as the machine kept up its rampage, covering the walls and counters in a sticky mess.
"TAKE COVER!" She yelled. Aria rushed to turn it off, but the buttons were jammed from the ice cream leaking into the circuits, so the yanked the cord out of the outlet, but the damage had been done. Everything in a three foot radius had been soaked. Tears stung her eyes and threatened to fall.

"Heh, yeah...I sometimes wish that turf wars were more inclusive. Though they'd have to modify the rules to accommodate other species," he remarked.
Abruptly, with a shout and a bang, he fell over as the machine went out of wack. When it was over, he shot back up to confront the cashier.
"Oh gosh--- a-are you alright?" whimpered Cato, as he noticed them covering their face. "I--I'll help you c-clean it up..."

Tears fell freely from Aria's eyes and she quickly covered her face to hide her shame.
"No," she cried, her hands muffling her voice, "It's my first day and something already went wrong and now I'm crying in front of a customer. I'm so sorry!"
She poured the remaining milkshake with shaking hands into a malt glass, filling it up considerably, then added whip cream and a red cherry on top, to try and cover up the mushy mess behind her. Aria poked a bendy straw into the drink and wiped her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry," she whimpered, "I'm 23 years old and I still blubber like a baby." She laughed slightly and gave Cato his milkshake. "Don't worry about the mess, it's not that bad."

Casimir was running through the Booyah base with his phone constantly [RE-CALIBRATING MAP]. With his head looking down at his phone while running, eventually he ran into a ladder someone left outside.
"AAGH! Sonofabitch. Who left this ladder out here?"
Casimir looked up and saw the sign for iSEA CREAM. "Oh. I'm here." He looked down at his phone. "Piece of junk barnacle maps." He pocketed his phone and went inside, rubbing his head where a bruised bump was starting to form.
Inside, there was a crying anemone with milkshake on her face and an inkling with a milkshake that looked very good. He saw there was a big mess with milkshake all over the counter and walls. His eyes widened. (What happened here?) He thought to himself.

"Damn…there's nothing to do around here." Charlotte sighed, looking at her phone scrolling through the splatnet to see if there was anything good places to eat. Before she considered calling Casimir, but decided not too. "hey this Isea-cream place sounds good." Charlotte said getting up from the bench she was sitting on. She typed the location in her phone and started to walk there.
Once she got to the place, she walked inside with her hands in her hoodie pocket. She looked around and spotted a crying anemone with what she assumed to be milkshake on her face, and milkshake covering some of the walls. She kept looking around until her eye's landed on Casimir, she walked up behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder, "long time no see." she smirked.

"Oh, customers!" Aria perked up immediately and dashed to clean the ice cream off of her face and the surrounding area, leaving the place almost spotless. Any sign of her crying and milkshake was gone.
"Welcome! Sorry about the mess, had trouble with my blender, but what can I do for you guys today?"
She noticed the Inkling was rubbing his head and frowned, "Did I leave the ladder outside? I'm such a clutz, sorry about that! How about an ice cream to help with that?" She pointed to the large blackboard behind her with ocean related puns implemented in the titles ice cream.

"aah!" Casimir jumped. "Oh. Charlotte. You startled me." Turning back to the anemone he replied. "Sure! And don't worry about the ladder. I wasn't watching where I was going. As for the ice cream, I'll have a scoop of... Deep sea dough (cookie), and an..." Casimir whispers to Charlotte. "Do you like inkberry?"

"I've never tried it but sure I'll get that." Charlotte says letting go of Casimir's shoulder, putting both her hands back in her hoodie pocket, looking around the shop casually.

"And an inkberry milkshake." He added. Casimir also pulled out his coin bag. "I'll be paying."
