[CLOSED @Rythix, @Mornica] Not A Typical Saturday

Everything about this was miserable. Going outside was miserable. Being around a bunch of people was miserable. Having to endure this heat while wearing a fluffy bobble hat to hide her tentacles was miserable.

Complaining was useless, though. She'd brought this on herself. She was the one who'd decided to move out of her parents' house to live on her own, and living on her own meant going out and getting her own groceries. She was also the one who'd decided it'd be a bright idea to wait until she was literally out of food to go out... which happened to be on Saturday, when everybody in Inkopolis was out and about. She could have gone on a weekday when everybody was at school or work—speaking of which, she really needed to think about getting a job even though the thought made her actually shudder—but the thought of going out had freaked her out so much that she'd held it off until now, which was even worse.

Mornica was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she didn't see the teenaged Inkling boy coming toward her. With two simultaneous grunts, Mornica bumped into the younger kid and stumbled back, dropping her bags in surprise. Her sunglasses were knocked askew, causing the sun to sting her eyes. She had to actively resist the urge to transform into her octopus form right then and there. Instead, she awkwardly used one hand to try to get the sun out of her eyes and the other to put her sunglasses back into place.  She looked down at the boy when she didn't feel like she was going blind anymore. The word "Sorry" ran through her mind but refused to come out of her mouth.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" the boy snapped. Two other Inklings, a boy and a girl, seemed to appear out of nowhere. They must have been the boy's friends from the dirty looks they were giving Mornica.

"I-I-I—" Actual words would have been nice right about now!

"Hold on," the girl said, stepping forward. "Did you guys see her eyes?" She stepped forward and reached up toward Mornica's face. Mornica stumbled back with a panicked gasp. No, no, no, they couldn't see her eyes...!

"What about them?" the second boy asked, stepping closer.

"You'll see! Help me get these sunglasses off!"

Yep, now was a great time to run. Too bad there was a pile of groceries behind her. The next thing Mornica knew, she was on the ground with crushed produce under her feet. A scream of surprise escaped her throat as she fell without her even realizing it. The shadows of the three Inklings fell over her before her sunglasses and hat were unceremoniously torn away from her head. She felt naked with her tentacles exposed for all to see, even if they were still up in that awkward ponytail bun thing.

"Holy carp, she's an Octoling!" the boy she had run into shouted.

"What the shell are you doing in Inkopolis?" the second boy asked.

"Probably trying to spy on us," the girl said. Suddenly, a weapon was being pointed at Mornica. "Big mistake."

All three of them had weapons: two of them had shooters, and the other had a roller. Even if Mornica had any idea of what the weapons were called, it wasn't like that was the first thing on her mind right now. She screamed, the sound becoming gurgled as she transformed into an octopus out of sheer terror.

(( OOC: I'm so sorry, I wrote a book. T_T ))
