The Daggertooth District was a dangerous place, Amari knew that. That didn't stop her from picking up her roller and heading over there as soon as she heard that there were a few rogue octolings in the area. She shouldn't have been so foolish as to not even disguise herself, however, as she soon realized that it had been a trap set up by the octarians themselves. She assumed that they had let the rumor been spread on purpose to lure her here. The infuriating part was the fact that the plan had worked, and she had been cornered.
She had managed to distract the octolings and duck into the alley, but she knew that they would quickly realize their error and come back for her very soon. She had to think of a way out of this situation, and fast, or else she'd be dead meat. Amari found herself wishing that she had brought her headset with her so she could have called for backup if things went awry. She didn't like working with other people or having to call for help, sure, but she hadn't anticipated ending up like this. This mission was supposed to just be in and out, take care of the octolings and then leave. Instead, she had ended up all alone deep in the outskirts with octolings hot on her tail. For now she would have to lay low and think of a plan.

Despite being off of her own agent duties of the night, Ivory found herself going down to Daggertooth District. It was simple, really- she wanted to know as much of the area as she could, in case her duties lie there. Most of her scouting required visiting these depths anyways.
Only wearing her turf gear and holding her beloved .52 gal (y'know, just in case) she stepped down the warn down asphalt. Down, in a sedated corner, she spotted another Inkling wearing a---hero jacket? Who in their right mind would do such a thing down here? Even if it was a replica, people in this area-especially Octarians- did not take kindly to agents. Such as herself, if she ever dared wear the uniform in Daggertooth.
As risky as it was, she knew she had to save the other. Hopefully, they were at least another agent...
Ivory slid up to a wall where they could see her, looked around for any enemies, and threw a small rock; making a small noise on the dumpster beside them.
Soon as she knew she had their attention, she waved her hand.
"You alright?" She whispered, hoping that they'd be able to read her lips.

Amari jolted slightly when she heard the ping of a small rock being thrown nearby. She whirled around and caught sight of another inkling, pressed up against the wall and looking in her direction. Oh thank goodness. she thought to herself, relieved. She shook her head fiercely and pulled her bandana away from her face so that she could communicate with the stranger.
"Octolings nearby," she hissed urgently, just loud enough for them to hear. She pointed in the direction opposite of where the stranger had come. "They'll be back soon. Could use some assistance."

Oh, of course. Why wouldn't there be Octolings hunting them down?
To be honest, she wasn't so sure what to do.
She looked around, and replied, "How many?"

"About four or five, maybe more," Amari whispered. "I have a plan, but I'd need someone else to help me carry it out. Are you up for the task, stranger?" she desperately tried to hide the plea in her voice. She wasn't usually desperate enough to ask for help from a complete stranger, but octarians always seemed to be the exception. Ugh, if only I hadn't fallen for their trap then I wouldn't be in this vulnerable position in the first place...

"Should be something we can handle," she remarked.
Ivory nodded, and pulled out her weapon. "It is my job to assist my fellow Inkling, anyways. What is your idea?"

Amari nodded and stood up, lifting her weapon. She was secretly somewhat relieved that they had agreed to help her out. "The plan is, you draw attention to yourself and let the octolings chase you. Make sure to stay just out of their reach. While they're distracted, I sneak up on them and ambush them when they aren't expecting it, and we tag-team them. Got it?" she blinked at the stranger expectantly.

"....Right. Just don't abandon me here." She said, walking off into the street.
Ivory could hear the footsteps in the distance, and knowing it was the supposed Octolings, she yelled at them.
"Yo, Octojerks! Come over here!" She yelled, trying to be as obnoxious as possible. To make them even more willing to kill her, she swiftly shifted in and out of squid form, in a technique known as "squidbagging". To be honest, she never thought that she'd ever have to do something this low. But whatever.

Amari had to suppress a snicker at the sight of them squidbagging the octolings, but she quickly regained her composure. She lifted her roller and braced herself to chase after the octolings.
She saw them come into sight almost immediately afterwwards, looking angry and shouting what she presumed to be obscenities in the octarian language. They were speeding towards them alarmingly fast. Okay, now RUN!!

Sprii! Seemingly out of nowhere (seriously, where are these things kept?), Ivory threw out a splash wall to protect the two as she begun to shoot.
"...Stay beside me," She explained, "That roller wouldn't do much from behind." Even though it was rude, she couldn't help but judge their poor weapon choice. Rollers were bulky, and just not worth it in situations like these. What kind of turf needed to be claimed here?

Oh. Amari thought to herself. They're right, I suppose. Attacking them from behind wasn't the smartest idea.
She darted out of the shadows, swinging her roller at two of the octolings from behind the splash wall and splatting them both.

Well, that was quick. Maybe rollers weren't as useless in combat as she thought.
"You said there was more, correct? So we should get out of here while we can. It would be a bad idea to get ink all over the place. Besides, the wall is almost though." Grabbing the other Inkling's wrist, she started running with them the way she came earlier.
"Now...there should be a launch pad to Inkopolis the way I arrived. Kinda far back, though. I hope you don't mind running," she added, "At this pace, we should be there in a few minutes."

Amari nodded nonchalantly. She let herself be led by the stranger back the way they had came, running close behind them.
She simply nodded again in acknowledgement, hoping that they had seen the gesture. She found it hard to talk while running, especially at this fast of a pace.

"I may have already asked this, but," she said, tilting her head, "Are you okay? Did they hurt you, or anything?"

"No. I'm fine." Amari said with a shake of her head. "By the way, what were you doing here in the first place?" she eyed the stranger curiously
