Once the waters receded across Daten, thanks to the passing of King Thirst, the city went into an uproar over residents turning into these little squids that were obsessed with fashion and competition. So many were affected that organized competitions began cropping up, with Daten's central park being turned into the ultimate stage for professional matches. Despite how harmless it is, locals have filed complaints to Lethocs and the Abbey alike with Angels jumping on the case in an effort to rebuild their reputation. Or that would of been the case if it weren't for the Ironee siblings coming in with a Lost Soul in hand. Angels began celebrating on a hunt that they didn't even participate in but before actual festivities could take place, the Lost Soul slipped through Duster's hands and turned a good chunk of the Abbey residents into various forms of marine life. Those that weren't affected gave chase but lost sight of it quick. A day's worth of searching turned up nothing. Abbey-goers were at a loss on what to do and days have passed since then with the Ironink siblings shooting straight into stardom as Splatfest organizers. As this transpired, Demons have actually come into possession of the Lost Soul and attempted to run experiments on it. It was impossible, however, being far too cute to do cruel experiments on. Many decided to keep it as the office's mascot but as soon as they all let their guard down did the Lost Soul turn on them and transform them into marine life as well. With the ghost on the lose, the remaining unaffected decided to team up and put their differences aside to search for the ghost. Who knows how long it'll be until they can track it down, but as far as Immortals-turned-fish are concerned, there's a Splatfest to attend to.  Shades: Thanks for tuning in to the Ironinks, I'm your host Shades with my lovely brother, Duster, as co-host! Today we're here to finally settle an age old question once and for all: does pinapple belong or pizza or not?
Duster: Of course it doesn't, just what kind of silly question is that? We shouldn't even need a Splatfest to determine the answer when it's clear.
Shades: Guess I don't have a brother anymore.
Duster: Don't be dramatic, maybe save the theatrics for when my team is wins?
Shades: Looks like we're throwing a friendly competition out the window.
Duster: You know that "friendly" isn't in my vocabulary, especially when it comes to something abhorrent like pineapple on pizza.
Shades: We'll see about that! Our votes seem to be pretty even right now, so it looks like it's time for our teams to shine. Care to explain what the teams have to do in order to decide whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza?
Duster: Sure. Teams will have a total of three stages to cover with their team's color. Each stage will have two health pools teams have to deplete within three rounds of dice rolls. The winner in each stage is determined by how low the HP on their health pool is. It's best 2 out of 3.
Shades: Competitors also have the option of either attacking the stage or attacking an opponent. Everybody, regardless of their rank, has only 50 HP each. If you're down on your last leg and someone attacks you, but you yourself are attacking the stage, whoever rolls highest determines if you hit the stage or not before being eliminated for that game. So pick your battles!
Duster: It's important to debate on whether or not it's worth it to attack someone on the opposite team. Attacking an enemy will cost you a turn so do choose wisely.
Shades: That pretty much covers it! Remember to have fun and...
Shades and Duster: Stay fresh!
Competitors: Your goal is to cover as much surface area as possible in all three stages to determine the winner!

After a quick cut to a commercial break, a giant monitor near the central park's arena turned back on. The hosts of The Ironinks were on but they didn't seem to be aware that the cameras were rolling. To a normal person that wasn't some weird squid kid, their little bickering sounded like gurgling gibberish, but rest assured that they were arguing about something serious.
Shades pointed down to Duster's feet, questioning and judging his brother's choice in footwear. Duster on the other hand put his feet up and began pushing Shades with a foot, clearly offended at his brother's accusations. Tensions were building up between the two and just before they could reach for each other to pull on tentacles, the camera man pointed out that they were rolling. Embarrassed, the two brothers quickly composed themselves with Shades flashing a smile.
"Thanks for tuning back in to the Ironinks!" Shades said, winking as he put his hands up in a pose similar to that of the Squid Sisters. "Now then, the votes for this Splatfest came out pretty even, so now we're depending on our teams to determine whether pineapple belongs on pizza."
"Again, don't think we need a Splatfest to tell-" Duster's mouth was quickly covered up by Shades' who was looking directly at the camera, his expression looking like he's ready to kill a man.
"Anyways," Shades interjected with Duster rolling his eyes, "Let's see how our teams are doing!"
---
In Team Pineapple's locker room, just under the stage, Swing Coat was busying herself making her brella was in top shape. The sudden opening and closing of the brella causes others to jump and many didn't even keep close to her. Occasionally she'd stare back at others doing the same, asking if they had problems with an Octoling. Honestly, people were so rude.
Sukafu meanwhile kept to himself, being reserved even as Gogo tried to strike up a conversation with him. This kid was being anything but fun, guess they'll just have to scout someone else.
---
Over in Team Regular's locker, Archer was mourning the loss of his beautiful feathers. They were far better and more durable than these flimsy little fins that already began tearing up. He had to admit, though, that the colors of his flashy fins had their own charm to it.
Hairpin himself was keeping an eye on the TV monitor found in the locker room, being thoroughly entertained by the squid brothers on screen.

What an interesting event to transpire here in Daten, demons and angels alike being transformed into various forms of aquatic life, inklings and octoling's, even some salmonid, how fun.
On the pineapple side of the fence, Chokki was examining her floor-length tentacle looking hair, she particularly liked being an inkling, she felt as though it made her look cute, and her singing got a whole lot more interesting with the added sound of inkling speech and language. She couldnt be happier with the outcome. Flipping her hair she plopped back and forth between her normal form and a squid form a few times before smiling to herself, and speaking up in inkling.
"Oooohohoho, what a lovely form, I can't get enough of this look, what do you think Etch dear?"
Ah looks like Etch was on the pineapple side and was fixing up his shoes before smiling up at Chokki, a rather sparkly look in his eye, he seemed a lot happier than he normally is, perhaps the lack of horns helped. In his inkling form, Etch had a sudden knack for rap music, nothing hardcore of course, but happy future funk rap. He could get behind his new look. Etch was holding a pair of dualies and was sort of just aiming them at a wall testing how they felt in his hands. He was actually enjoying himself for once. He spoke up in reply to Chokki.
"You look great Ms.Chokki, I'm pretty happy with my new look too."
--
Meanwhile, in the regular pizza locker room, Collier was touching his hair over and over again, feeling it squish under his touch, he hated it. Squirming and cringing he stood up and looked at himself in the mirror, he was definitely not a fan of this. Walking back and forth he spoke up to himself.
"I feel so... dirty now, I look like a highschooler, and with a job like mine this is just, awkward."
Cloak, however, was on the spikier side of things, having taken on the form of a sea urchin when he transformed. He caressed his needle-like hair that covered half his face and smiled, holding his stomach.
"What a wonderful ghost, changing the forms of us mortal and immortal beings so effortlessly, it truly encapsulates everything I love in these beings."
Holding a large paint roller in his free hand Cloak kicked his legs up on the table. His outfit had changed dramatically, it was still black and edgy, but for once people could actually see his legs, amazing.

Knitten's wiggled his pointed ears, swinging his legs as he sat on the bench in the pineapple pizza locker room. Gotta fight for what you believe in. Although he wasn't expecting getting turned into a squid when a weird lost soul grabbed his face when he knocked on his cousin's door. But he was excited to play a real paintball match. But speaking of his cousin, he hasn't seen him in a while-
A loud smashing sound resounds somewhere, and Knittens sighs. Running over to the source, he found Fascinator with his fist cut a bit from the broken mirror. He broke another mirror. He's been highly irritable and aggressive ever since he started growing fins, but what can you do when you literally become a Siamese Fighting Fish humanoid? Pulling the guy with the curtain hair back, Knittens scold,
"That's the 3rd mirror! You can't fight your own reflection, Fasci."
Fasci growled in return, he didn't really talk much anymore but he did huff and sit back down.
Headphones stretched, the ears on his headphones look like the feelers of a sea slug. He yawned, he just wanted to sleep lately. But he can't turn a blind eye to the argument over pineapple pizza. He has stayed on his stance that pineapple pizza was a crime against the world for years and he wasn't budging. He can finally shut up his heretic best friend who thought it was fine. He slides over to Binyeo. who was shining her Heavy Splatling gun,
"Hey there Mother Reef, you excited?"
"I do not know what this pizza is though..."
Binyeo scratched her neck, confused. Headphones had just dragged her to his side in roder to add to his own support. he shrugs,
"Trust me, you're making the right choice."

~~In the Pineapple Pizza Room~~
Loincloth sat in one of the benches with his Heavy Splatling next to his feet, watching the TV Monitor as he smoked his pipe. While he honestly thought having a Splatfest over whether pineapple belongs on pizza seemed unnecessary, it at least gave him something to do.
Helmet was humming a tone as he prepped his giant brush by dipping it into a bucket of ink. It's unknown what kind of sea creature he turned into due to his namesake covering his entire head, though it's most likely a squid or octopus, and the only change to his usual clothing was a pair of finger-less gloves so he looked completely unaffected by the ghost.
~~In the Regular Pizza Room~~
Ruka was looking at himself a mirror in his locker, examining his now tentacley mohawk. God, it just looked so fucking stupid and loss of his horns didn't ease his anger one bit. He didn't care how cute the ghost was, he wanted to strangle the little shit for doing this time. But that had to wait, there was a competition to win and prove that pineapple does NOT fucking belong on pizza.
Meanwhile, Flat Cap and Vest sat next to each other prepping their weapons, which were a Splattershot and Splatterscope respectively. Vest actually liked pineapple on pizza but Ruka forced him be on the Regular side under the threat of a brutal pummeling and he knew Ruka always made good on his threats.

Pocketwatch's eyes glittered as he obsereved everyone around him, he has turned into a squid and so did almost everyone else, he felt excited as he entered the pineapple pizza locker room.
Monocle, Polo, and Sneakers are all huddled in the corner of the Pineapple pizza team's locker room. Monocle was not exactly happy at all with this transformation.
Henley Shirt and Circlet stood all by themselves in the team regular's locker room. Circlet sighed as she found herself getting tired already and Henley was pissed that Monocrap and his brother decided to ditch him for the other group. What kind of person puts pineapple on pizza? He thought to himself. Disgusting.
The bastard dislikes pineapples to begin witg so it's not surprising he joined team regular.

Vampire Collar was squelching around on the ground in the regular locker room. He was currently wiggling about on the ground as a vampire squid. He his behind a small corner till he found a mirror. He promptly crawled up the mirror and he inked himself before sliding down in embarrassment. "Oh dear..." He wiggled and slid about over to Cloak,"w-woah you have legs!" He flopped his tenticals.
Mary Janes was in a mirror gently poking his translucent skin. The little jellyfish prince poked at his stomach, he could see the regular pizza he had in him already. "This is so freaking cool!" He lookS around for mum. "Why can't there be a neutral side..I just wanna like both.." He pouts.
Foxstole was pacing around, her body puffed and unpuffed. The semi stressed puffer fish lady plopped down on a bench,"I-I can't use hairspray..this c-cannot be happening..." She pulled at her spines.
~~~~~
Virgin Killer wiggled her pink squid tenticals in the air and shd giggled,"God I love these things!" She twirled about and sighed happily. "I feel so much better.."
Assless Chaps slinked around, he looked like he had taken a bath in oil. The slippery eel yawned and looked at his fangs in the mirror,"My oh my..arrrre these so verrry long.."
Sneaker Heels pouted, or was that just her face? Probably a combo of both. She played with her lure as she sat on a bench. "Why in the hell is Hawaiian pizza called that..when it was made in Canada??" She mumbled through her maw.

Prepping herself in the locker room, Brooch looked around at her fellow True Pizza Lovers (as she was dubbing them). There were so many! Brooch herself was ready for the Splatfest with roller blades and her trusty paint roller. She'd been visiting the Abbey with messages for Mister Sir Strappon from Miss Bifocals when the Lost Soul had gone crazy. Not that she minded! She thought she looked dope! Her eyes wandered over everyone else and narrowed onto the Octoling in the room. She basically zoomed over with a wide grin.
"Hi! I really like your tentacles! Isn't this great? I'm glad other people love pineapples too!" Brooch's tentacles bounced as she spoke to Swing Coat, writhing around in her joy. "Are you excited? It kinda sucks that Mister Duster doesn't like pineapple but at least Mister Shades does! They're both super cool!" And, cue sparkle as she smiled widely up at the taller fish person.

--In the Pineapple Pizza Room--
Gloves and Sapphire look at the Pineapple room mirror and they still can't believe that they turn into inklings. Heck, they look like they're in their cosplay costume. But nope, they're the real deals. Tentacles for hair, sharp teeth, pointy ears, and they can turn into small squids. Despite the unexpected change, they look cute in inkling forms. "Ah! Don't you gust love these hair tentacles?" Sapphire ask Gloves, "It look so cute on me!" She grins. Gloves turn his head at her with a smile on his face, "Yes it does." He answers. "Especially the paint weapons that they gave all of us." He reach for his bag and pulls out the Tentatek Splattershot. "We're gonna splatter the Regular Pizza Team so hard with these weapons." He chuckles. Sapphire chuckles also and reach for her bag and pull out the Inkbrush. "Yeah! We'll show them that Pineapple does belong on Pizza."
____________________________________
--In the Regular Pizza Room--
Dress Socks and G-Strings was sitting on the bench while polishing their ink weapons. Dress Socks has the Enperry Splat Dualies and G-Strings has the E-liter 4K Scope. Even though they're surprise that the Lost Soul can turn anyone into cute inkling and lost the red skin color, horns and tail. That doesn't mean that they're still demons. They're going to show the Pineapple Pizza Team that Pineapple does NOT belong on pizza. They like the fruit, but not on pizza. That's disgusting. "Ready to ink the competitors, G-Strings?" He ask her while swirling his lock Enperry Splat Dualies. "Oh yeah! Let's hit them hard and win the game." G-Strings answered with a grin on her face.

Swing Coat squinted at the approaching Inkling. She opened her brella and looked down, motioning her hands as if she's busying herself in fixing it or something of the sort.
"Can't you see I'm working? Go bug someone else..."
She clearly wasn't happy with the events that transpired in the lab the other day. It was humiliating and this Inkling coming in here talking like everything's normal vexed her. On one hand, she could be back in her lab doing something actually productive. On the other...well, proving pineapple goes on pizza could end the argument once and for all.
Sukafu meanwhile got concerned over the sudden noise of glass shattering and went to investigate himself. Oh joy it was a fighting fish, though, Sukafu couldn't help but notice that Fascinator had injured himself. He quickly went over to grab some bandages and handed them to Fascinator.
"You should be more careful. Also avoid mirrors. Don't want you too stressed out that you can't even ink."
---
Archer plopped himself down next to Foxtstole, extending his hands to show his tattered arm fins.
"At least you don't have it so rough," he said, "My wings...my beautiful gorgeous wings are gone..."
The man was close to tearing up.

Foxstole gently rubs the others arm fins,"Oh jeez.." She stresses out and starts to puff up,"Oh not this deviant art inflation shit again!" She buffs and rolls around on her back. "At least you don't look like a Boston creme donut!" She starts crying and squeaking.

Fascinator winced, it was a really bad cut. Blood was literally dripping onto the floor. The fins on arms began to flare, obviously feeling threatened by Sukafu's mere presence. But he just more grumpily took the bandages and tried to fix his quickly numbing hand. He mumbled,
"Thank you... I just don't know what gets into me- What are you looking at mate!?"
He shouted looking at another mirror, seemingly confusing it for another fighting fish apparently. He really wouldn't fight other species, but he seems to lose his mind seeing his own reflection. He just can't seem to stand it. Knittens forces his cousin's face to look away, sighing,
"But I can't wait for the main event! I can finally settle the argument that pineapple belongs on pizza."
Fascinator pipes up while bandaging himself and shining his unique ink pen weapon,
"By the way, can I even produce ink?"
Binyeo waves to Mary Janes, petting her boy's head,
"A little jellyfish... Aaaa I feel guilty for eating them now."
Well isn't that a bit disturbing. She brushes her hair behind her coral horns, being a literal incarnation of a coral reef caused her to gain a lot of different nooks and crannies and she isn't sure she likes. Picking up her boy she muses,
"At least I have my son... But I'm not sure what we're fighting for."

Ribbon was never really big into pizza, herself, so when it came time to pick a side, she wasn't entirely sure where to go with her decision. In the end, she eyed a few people that she at least knew head into the pineapple locker room, so she headed for that side, too, despite the idea of pineapples on pizza being less than appealing to her.
Once she was inside the locker room, it looked like plenty of people had come already. Some familiar faces, too. She avoided eye contact with Pocketwatch, but waved a greeting to Virgin Killer, before leaning herself against one of the walls to steel her nerves for the next mission. Of course, clad in a bit of a strange outfit, she was sure she was one of the more noticeable participants on this team. She also wasn't sure how she felt about working alongside other angels, but she wasn't going to worry about it for now. Sighing softly, Ribbon looked down at her feet while she waited, arms crossed.

After a several minutes of dipping, Helmet took his giant brush out of the bucket and started painting on the lockers to test out his skills with the brush, stilling humming the same tune.
Ruka stood over Foxstole and Archer with his arms crossed. "OH BOO FUCKING HOO! You two at least look decent. Look at my FUCKING HAIR!" He yelled as pointed at his flopping tentacles, more angry than sad. It was obvious tentacles didn't make good hair for a mohawk. "That little squid shit could turned me into a shark or a piranha or something that doesn't make my hair flopped down. But noooooo! It had to be a fucking squid with fucking tentacles for fucking hair!"

Pocket watch seemed to notice Ribbon and she's avoiding eye contact with him, this caused a sadistic smile to creep in his face, he now made it his mission to annoy Ribbon. As he walked towards her, he grinned and called her out as loud as he could using the nickname he's given her, "Hey Princess!" He also waved at Virgin Killer, whom he saw several times, but never got the chance to speak with.
"Ah, greetings to you as well, Lady Virgin Killer."
"Hey Guys! Isn't this exciting?" Polo waved at Gloves and Sapphire and joined them, he was excited as hell, Monocle just sighed as he watched his boyfriend get all worked up. Sneakers spotted Knittens sitting on a bench and he approached him.
"Knittens!" Sneakers called out as he sat on the bench with his friend.
Circlet overheard Ruka and joined him, "I know right, this things suck," she held her tentacle hair with disgust. That ghost turned her into a squid, whatever, it should've turned her into something more ferocious. And being a squid kid does not really strike fear into the hearts of people
