Archived RPs back in 2017-2018! A lot of these play a big role in what some of my squid children went through to become who they are today. So it's a nice context to have! I've probably missed a lot of scenes and even authors and characters to add here,,, I'm not really in touch with a lot of the members anymore as the group died a while back. That being said though, there are A LOT of characters here that don't belong to me. If you find yours, lemme know lol

Beach Jam 10


Wow..10 of these now. Certainly hitting a milestone tonight with how many have been performed.

The bass on his back , ferret on his shoulder, and calm expression plastered upon his face. Les makes his way down to the beach, stretching his hands out as preparation for playing tonight.

"I'm coming, mio amico! Inziare fottuto scappando!! Lucille, is giving chase!!" The familiar accented voice calls out as he being chased by a mad woman.

"I will have you know that Chester is not a desk lamp!  He believes they are the work of a great evil that does not deserve to have any cheese!" Lucille....she's just being insane as she always is.

Seeing this sudden chaos, Les begins running as fast as he can, not wanting any of this. Aurelio sprints around the cabins, trying to escape the predator behind him.

"Get over he-!" Lucille runs into a cabin, falling onto her back as Aurelio makes his great escape to the beach.

"Hoo...I don't know how she came to that conclusion, but she is very crazy!" Aurelio says, trying to catch his breath.

"I could have told you that from the start, dude." Les responds, placing his stuff on the ground.

Watching them run was like watching a cartoon of cat an mouse. The trio zoomed past Paisley as she was making her way to the beach, tentacles fluttering with the wind that was made with the running. And even paused by Lucille when she smacked herself against the cabin. Yeah not gonna deal with that.
She continued her way with her guitar on her back, watching the two interact  and pointed at Les with a nod, agreeing with the last statement before finding a seat and going through the pretty arpeggios.

"Why was Lucille just laying on her back- back there?"

"Mrs. Kylie just- no need to question it please-"

"No need to call me Mrs, dearie!"

"But honestly though, I kinda agree with Nick- that camper's just outright weird at times."

"At times? Not all the time, Zaykin?"

Nicholas, Kylie and Zaykin talk as they made their way to Beach Jam- as if the pair had now adopted him as a son somehow hahah- really though he was walking inbetween them and Kylie couldn't help but hold his hand like as if just wanting to lead the kid around or something and it seemed like Nick was okay with it so far.

Once they got there was when he finally released himself from her mother's grasp and waved at the squids there while running over to them. Kylie found it a bit cute meanwhile Zaykin went over and lit the bonfire.

"Pero paano naman kung hindi siya makakadating- paano kung matagal pa siya at hindi niya maaabot- paano man- p-paano kung--"

"Solua, honey, calm down please. We- we don't understand a thing you're saying right now."

"... I-I'm sorry." Kyler sighed and patted the girl's head while Mira hugs her and then goes to lead the girl over to the beach jam area, soon greeting everyone with a big smile and wave and saying "HI EVERYONE!!"

Kyler and Solua may have lightly laughed at her and Kyler soon went to helping the girl finding a place to sit down for now.

Arwin took a deep breath, holding the paper with the lyrics tightly on it in his hands, yeah, he wasn't ready, didn't felt at all, but wasn't about to let Nick's help be in vain, so there he was. The boy folded the piece of paper and put it in his pocket, humming the song to try and remember the rhythm. He looked over at the people there as he approched, all his hopes for there not being many were gone, sure it wasn't everyone at camp, but in his eyes it was more than enough. -"B-brave like A-All Might"- The blue fading squid murmurred to himself, adjusting the sleeves of his costume, of course he was wearing it, the Todoroki outfit, how could he not ?

-"H-hello..!"- Arwin greeted, looking around for his friend, and feeling a wave of relief when he caught glimpse of the yellow inkling. Good. -"H-hey, Nick..!"-

Oh right- forgot to mention that Nicholas was wearing the UA t-shirt he bought from the mall for this beach jam hehe.

Hearing his name be called out and seeing Arwin, he smiled and waved at him before getting closer to the blue inkling. "Heya, Arwin! Awesome outfit! You doing okay so far?" Quick to ask if he was uncomfortable hah- he may have realized that this may be quite a crowd for him already even though he himself would be just a-okay with it hm.

Bill smiled his usual dopey grin, "Thanks for coming out with me, homie!" He nodded, looking over to the dark purple inkling beside him. Holding onto Giam's hand lightly as he walked with him, and his bongo drum tucked under his other arm. "I think I'd be too like... nervous, y'know? if I didn't have ya with me." He chuckled. "It'll be chill hopefully, no ice balls this time. I haven't seen either of the campers that started the fight since then, I wonder where they went off to? Probably just laying low until things blow over or something." he trailed off, shaking his head. "Ah, we should go looking for them after this! Make sure they're okay."

He wandered up towards the usual spot, waving briefly to everyone already there. "Heyyyyy what's up dudes and dudettes? Whats happenin?"

Arwin was quick to smile, yeah, this wasn't so bad, he wasn't going to do it alone after all! Just gotta remember that! -"Y-yeah!"- He nodded, taking another breath in. -"R-ready t-to go b-beyond..."- The boy smiled, hoping his friend would catch on to the reference, using it to avoid thinking of the crowd or that fact that he was going to be performing at all.

Les waved over to his counselor before picking up his bass into his hands. Always gotta be sure to get everything tuned up. "Things are goin well so far! Ready for your first performance here, Bill?"

"Eeeyy, heya Bill, Giam. Just lit the fire and stuff." Zaykin gave them a waved with two fingers and stuff haha. "Good evening!" Kylie greeted them as well.

Giambattista walked along, the serious expression he always held still on him, but if one observed close enough, well, there may be a hint of a blush there, luckily his hair pretty much covered one side of his face so there was that. -"If that kind of things happen even during something like this is more of a reason to keep an eye on it...."- He commented. -"Don't want anyone interrupting your preformance either"- Those last words said in a more quiet tone.

-"Good evening, Kylie, Zaykin"- The man nodded as they were greeted, waving at them with his free hand. -"Looks like a calm night, doesn't it ? Are any of you two performing by any chance ?"-

Hearing Arwin's response made Nick chuckle. He wouldn't miss that reference any time soon! "Plus Ultra!" Nicholas grinned, doing a fist pump as he said so- just for funsies haha! Can't wait to maybe do something like this during or after the song haha!

"Wanna sit somewhere?" He offered, and then was the time Mira noticed Arwin and excitingly kinda skips over to him or so.

"Aree- hey hey! Oh you're wearing that again! So cool...!" Mira giggled.

Bill nodded to Les. "Good to hear little green dude!" He looked to the fire, smiling and nodding once more. "Fire! Nice and warm, sets that chill mood and that good smokey smell, thanks Zaykin!" He turned his head to Kylie. "Heyyy! Nice to see ya out bra!" He grinned, looking at Giam and giving his hand a slight squeeze before letting go. "Right, I'm up first I think, Homie." He then looked over to Les again. "Ready when you are, man!"

"Yeah, so far it's been a calm night I guess." Zaykin replied, her words making here look around for a quick check on things because like what if-

"Oh, no no, we already performed last time- we didn't want to take up more space for another jam haha. And oh- oh Bill's going to sing? Good luck, Bill!" Kylie said happily.

Les gave a nod, turning over to the crowd. "Hello, everyone! Once again we are here for some chill tunes, energy, and whatever emotion you're feelin tonight."

"Make my feet move, mio amico!" The Italian calls out as Les tries to hype the crowd.

"U-uh..yeah. Thanks to Zaykin for lighting the fire, and now..I think it's time we started off the night!" Les said, turning back to Bill as he placed his hands upon his bass once more.

-"Plus Ultra!"- Arwin joined with the fist up in the air, laughing as well, it was fun! Hearing Mira approach a light blush quickly covered his cheeks, gosh, she saw that. The boy chuckled out of nerves.

-"H-hey! Y-yeah...I..uh..."- He scratched the back of his head and looked away for a moment before looking back at her. -"Th-thank you"- The blue squid nodded. -"I-is g-good to see y-you here..."-

The dark purple squid nodded, giving Bill a quick pat on the back to see him go on his way, turning his gaze back that Zaykin and Kylie. -"Mind if I sit with you ?"- He asked awaiting for a response, he's a gentleman after all.

Bill shot finger guns to Kylie, and smiled over to Les, he nodded, taking a seat on the ground, and getting comfortable, making a passing glance at Giam, and then the others around the campfire. Placing the bongo drum in his lap and began tapping a steady beat on it.

Bill nodded, taking a seat on the ground, and getting comfortable, making a passing glance at Giam, and then the others around the campfire. Placing the bongo drum in his lap and began tapping a steady beat on it.

He began singing, he wasn't a Stevie Wonder by any means, a little flat at times but he tried his best!

”Everybody wants satisfaction

I need, I need, I need it too!

Nothing else can numb the pain of crashing

My only true escape is you…”

he paused for a moment, looking around, blushing slightly embarrassed as he tried to remember the next words. He nodded as they came back to him after a few seconds.

”When life’s like a knife blade

Your love’s like an aeroplane!

You always save me!”

He paused again, a goofy grin on his face before picking up the chorus.

”You get me high, you are my remedy

You get me high, you always save me

You get me high, you are my remedy

You give me life when I feel empty

Oh, oh, oh, you get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh, you get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh, you get me high!”

He chuckled a bit and then cleared his throat, it was funny, he thought! Because he’s usually high, glancing up over to Giam with a cheeky grin, then looking down at the bongo as he continued to drum out his beat.

Les bobbed his head, picking up the bass rhythm for the song, and strumming along as a smile spread across his cheeks. Always had been a  fan of skillet, and it's clear he's enjoying the song as he plays.

Giam kept his eyes on Bill as he started to sing, crossing his arms as the song went on and he heard the lyrics, letting out a small sigh and looking away for a moment. Embarrassing.

Not Bill, he is the one who is embarrassed.

Zaykin turned back to Giam and glanced over at Kylie and the pink girl was quick to nod in response. "Yes, yes, you can sit with us if you want to! That's quite alright~!" With what her wife said, Zaykin just silently nodded as well. Time to listen to the song- and hey would you look at that, some more Skillet. It made her have a bit of a small grin hearing it. Kylie kind of glanced over at Giam whenever Bill seemed to look over at him and quietly giggled.

”Darkest days begin slowly passing

I need, I need, I need to feel

Something else than this pain reaction

To be alive, to make me real!

You always save me

You get me high! You are my remedy

You get me high, you always save me

You get me high, you are my remedy

You give me life when I feel empty

Oh, oh, oh, you get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh, you get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh, you get me high

When life’s like a knife blade

Your love’s like an aeroplane

You get me high

You get me high!”

He sung as he repeatedly padded his hands along the top of the drum in rhythm, carrying on to the last bit of the song. Laughing a bit as he sang his way through, it was such a cheerful sounding song!!

”You get me high, you always save me

You get me high, you are my remedy

You give me life when I feel empty

Oh, oh, oh, you get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You get me high

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You get me high!”

He nodded as he finished, satisfied with how he did, patting the drum rapidly a bit, bongo solo!!!

There goes another sigh, after catching Kylie giggling, Giam huffed. Cod darn it. Bill, this is all your fault...

Mira kept a bright smile towards him and nodded a bit. "You're welcome~ It's good to see you too, ehehe!" She couldn't help but maybe just. Lightly hug him, not wanting to ruin his costume or anything as she did.

Les clapped with vigor, turning over to his counselor/cabinmate with a thumbs up. "Nice job, dude!"

Arwin definitely hugged her back, perhaps getting a bit carried away, holding her tightly and lifting her up from the ground, with surprising ease even, before putting her back down.

-"I-I'm...I-I'm gonna be s-singing w-with Nick, s-so k-keep your eyes on m-me, alright ?"- The boy added, nerves momentarily fading.

Bill gave a thumbs-up back to Les. "Thanks man!" He smiled, getting up from the sand and going over to sit with Giam. "That was pretty fun, did you like it?" He asked excitedly, "You're looking a slight more purple than usual, you okay homie?" He added, with a slight snicker, knowing full well what was going on, and what he was doing. Placing the bongo down in front of him and patting the purple squid's leg briefly.

Paisley was totally paying attention. absolutely. even drumming on her guitar as a form of clapping for the first preformance.

Mira giggled happily as he even lifted her up there, holding on to him as he did and still having a smile as she was brought back down. "Of course- I'll- I'll keep my eyes on you eheheh...!" She gets a little blush there, but she seemed really cheerful hahah. "Good luck Arwin- good luck to the both of you...!" She cheered.

Les rose up again, gesturing right over to Nick and Arwin. "Now taking center stage. Give it up for 2 of the chillest people here at camp. Knock it out, Nick and Arwin!"

-"It was a good performance"- Giambattista admitted, glaring at Bill for his comment, eyebrow twitching slightly, fighting the urge to tell him to stop it, and bringing a hand up to cover his mouth. -"You don't say...."- He muttered.

Arwin realized too late what he had just asked Mira, to keep her eyes on him, whelp, what's a little more nerves on top of the already existing ones ? But she was smiling and giggling, and... Deep breath, she had already performed before, it was his turn. -"A-alright...Th-thank you"- The boy breathed out, using whatever determination he had at the moment to not back down. -"P-plus ultra..."- He mumbled, waiting for Nick to go over or to see what the yellow squid was gonna do and follow.

Aurelio makes his way over to the jammers, keeping himself low as he watches out for Lucille. The demibobble could always  be lurking when you least expect it. "Scusami." He says right to Paisley. "I have a...a few questions to ask."

Paisley perked up inn hearing that Ariwn and Nicky were up next, leaning over her guitar comfortably to hear them perform.

She sensed the person nearing her, but didn't pay any mind until he actually called out. scusami? well using context clues she guessed it was excuse me. The turquoise squid glanced over with a smile before focusing her attention to the performers again, "sure, what's up, Oreo?"

Mira puts up a thumbs up as Nick looks over to Les and nodding, glancing over to Arwin to try and give him a reassuring smile and set up the music for the song.  Signalling a countdown for the music with his fingers, as soon as it count down to one-

" I'll cut through the mirage then,

there's bright blue sky behind it!

I'll spend forever flying-

I'll be singing to the sky!!

I will make my mistakes."

He looks over to Arwin again as the two of them would be singing the next part together, just hoping his help so far worked-

"It's Fate,

It's Fate,

Achieve the future with our might.

Hearts alight, Still we fight!"

He gave a grin and pumped his fist again as they sung that part and lightly bobbing his head to the music. What can he say- he loved it a lot.

"First off..I am not an oreo." He said..rather quickly!  He isn't an oreo at all!  "Secondly..I have a few questions regarding Madama Lucille."

A toothy grin grew on her face with the first reaction. perfect yes. It quickly faltered with the mention of the name.

Paisley kept her focus on the singers, if only looking a little unnerved, "ahaha... no."

"No, no, no. You see..that man! Nico! He informed me that you used to be cabinmates with madama Lucille." Aurelio the non-oreo was pointing intently at Nick as he spoke.

Arwin followed, pressing his lips together, yeah, he remembered the next lyric,s and oh gosh, then he had to sing a part on his own...

It's Fate

It's Fate

Achieve the future with our might

Hearts alight, Still we fight!

His voice wavering at first, hands holding onto the sides of his costume, perhaps singing a bit lower than Nick too. He forced himself to look up, looking for Mira, then Paisley, the other one he knew better in there other than the one he was singing with. The temptation to pull out the piece of paper with the lyrics lingered, feeling it inside his pocket even through the fabric.

Seeking out...

all the lies I've ever feared

In oceans- of tears

I say goodbye

'cause time has passed I leave today

no matter what I lose, I'm on my way

Again starting fairly low in volume, slowly raising his voice a bit more so others could hear better.

Frustration... Humiliation

I need them-

to reach my destination

He quickly paused, looking over at Nick for the next bit, gosh, this was still a bit nerve wracking.

I'll cut through the mirage then,

there's bright blue sky behind it!

I'll spend forever flying

(I'll be singing to the sky)

I will make my mistakes

It's Fate

It's Fate

Achieve the future with our might

Hearts alight, Still we fight!

That focus became a sort of a glare at a certain yellow inkling, with being informed that Nick told this guy the information. "yeah well nico is about to get punched in the gut later.." Paisley murmered before sitting up some, now looking over at the other, "So what if I used to be her cabin mate? Doesn't change my answer, mate."

"I just wanna know if you've seen some weird shit, and what the weird shit was." Aurelio shrugged his shoulders.

"uh... huh..." Paisley looked ahead again, kicking her feet out before her, "well, if you've been paying attention to the things you see in front of you than the camera, there's not much else you gotta know, bruh." She shrugs, "I mean she rarely blinks, she likes sniffing hair, and when she's asleep she's kinda like a board. Everythin's all straight out n' stiff."

He placed a hand gently on Arwin's shoulder, as a kind of "you can do it, you're doing good!" as he helped sing the chorus with him.

"I'll cut through the mirage then,

there's bright blue sky behind it!

I'll spend forever flying-

I'll be singing to the sky!!

I will make my mistakes.


It's Fate,

It's Fate,

Achieve the future with our might!

Hearts alight, Still we fight!"


He took a breath before singing another solo here, wanting to make a good tone for sure haha.

"Impossible to never make a sacrifice-

move forward, and take flight...

and though I've lost...

I know this ideal will be my guide-

through the darkest dark and brightest light...

Don't you laugh at me, laugh along with me,

I need you... to reach my destination!"


Nick glanced over at Paisley just for a little while before continuing on with the song with Arwin.

"'Cause I've been meaning to tell you,

those things I should've told you,

the day that I first met you-

I'll be singing to the sky!

I will make my mistakes.

It's Fate,

It's Fate,

No sacrifice will be too great-

Now, before it's too late!"

"..How did you live with such a thing?" Aurelio tilted his head.

"Glad you liked it!" Bill laughed, seeing the eye twitch he drew back with a nod, that was enough teasing for now. "I'm sure it'll go away in a bit." He added - one last minor poke, he brought his attention to the squids currently singing. "These kids really like their uplifting power-ballad kinda songs, don't they? It's pretty rad!"

Arwin nodded, forcing a smile over to Nick, so thankful that he was singing with him, it really helped the blue squid keep up with the song. His eyes travelling around and stopping at Mira again, nodding to himself as he sang the next part along the yellow squid.


'Cause I've been meaning to tell you,

those things I should've told you,

the day that I first met you

(I'll be singing to the sky)

I will make my mistakes

It's Fate

It's Fate

No sacrifice will be too great

Now, before it's too late

He closed his hands into fists remembering the next bit was meant to be spoken, the words resonating with him, which helped the boy raise his voice some more.

This suffering.. it's like a storm over our heads

But I will still rise to my feet

Through the mud of ridicule and doubt

I'm trapped in this storm...

He paused, remembering what had happened perhaps a while ago but memories were still fairly recent. Just watch me... Arwin thought to himself waiting for Nick to raise his voice again.

And now the storm is ending!

"I didn't." Paisley simply responded, paying attention to the song and smiling at the performance. and the lyrics. okay maybe she won't punch him that hard now.

He patted his partner lightly and continued on with his part there, having a strong feeling along with it as he spoke out-

-And every time I dream

that my ideals are within my grasp

the more I grip, the more I suffer through my fingers

and even with nothing but this warmth

I believe we really deserved to live this life,

and push beyond this stream of disappointment

to where the light shines-

And he grins a bit widely as he glanced over to Arwin, bring a fist up to his chest just cause the little things with its effects-

And now the storm is ending!

He continues on the song to the final sets of choruses or so-

I'll cut through the mirage then,

there's bright blue sky behind it!

I'll spend forever flying-

I'll be singing to the sky!!

Keep your eyes on him- keep your eyes on him-

It honestly wasn't hard to do so, but Mira- Mira couldn't help but feel so giggly or something haha- keeps slightly shifting in her seat but keeping up a wide smile at Arwin. The song sounded really good...! It was nice and they were doing really well so far- she can't help but have her hands together in front of her in a bit of excitement and kind of making small and quiet claps.

They were almost done, they've done it! They really had! Arwin raised his voice some more, gaining more confidence at the for the last chorus.

I should've listened to my heart, it was dying to tell you

the things I should've told you

on the day that I first met you

(I'll be singing to the sky)

I will make my mistakes

Glancing over at Nick, almost holding his breath for a few seconds before the end.

It's Fate

It's Fate

Achieve the future with our might

Heart's alight, still we fight

The blue inkling lifted up his fist to the sky.

The End...

The End...

Fight for the future until then

Hear our hearts, we ascend!

And up goes his hand again, forgetting there was people there until he looked around, quickly bringing his arm down and feeling a blush surely making its way to his cheeks.

He sang along to the very last parts of the song, couldn't help but do another fist pump with how the end of this song was-

It's Fate,

It's Fate,

Achieve the future with our might!

Heart's alight, still we fight!-


The End...

The End...

Fight for the future until then,

Hear our hearts, we ascend!!

Punching up his fist into the sky, he couldn't help but jump maybe a tiny bit as the song completely ended and he chuckled happily. Finally got to sing the song! And Arwin got his first performance done-

"Great job, Arwin!" He grinned widely, patting his back as well.

Mira definitely started cheering and clapping when they ended.

Arwin smiled back at Nick. -"Th-thanks! Y-you too, g-got lucky and got a great s-singer with me, huh ?"- The boy added, taking a few steps in Mira's direction with his arms open for a hug.

Yep totally not paying attention to the cinema guy there, Paisley cupped her hands around her mouth to cheer, "wooooo you guys were great!!" her big bro and her best best best friend, she was very proud of them, indeed.

Nicholas chuckled. "No, I'm not- well- fine hahah. Sure." He gives up denying it and just watches as Mira definitely goes and gives him that hug. "You did so good there! Congrats!!" She giggled happily and hugged him a bit tightly.

Meanwhile Nick goes back over to where Paisley is now hah. "Thanks- it was- it was something to help someone else sing hahah."

Les gave a wild applause along with the cinema guy. Aurelio did seem to take a hint that he's not gonna get any info out of her....for now

"Great job, dudes! Proud of you!" Les cheered, smiling at the two.

"well it's a good thing you got the patience for it~" Paisley winked, "oh right, remind me to punch you later," she says almost too cheerfully and turns her attention to her guitar very innocent-like.

"Wait- what? Punch??" He seemed pretty surprised and confused by that.

"shhhhhhh"

Les rose up again, facing the crowd. "Our next performer is another one returning to the stage. Knock it out, Sol!"

Kyler gently patted her back as she tries her best to calm down and take a few deep breaths. It's... It's alright- she can do this- you got a song in mind, right?

"Hey Nick- the... Reversible Campaign...?"

Nick's ears perked up. Well then. He does have that saved thankfully enough. He nods at her and sets the music up.

-"Th-thanks, little s-sister!"- Arwin replied to Paisley, still holding Mira in his arms, not wanting to let go off the hug just yet. -"A-and th-thank you, Mira"- The boy added, leaning in for a quick kiss on the cheek, already knowing that blush is not leaving his face any time soon probably, might as well embrace it.

Your cover ups and stories are all so fake-

I hope they disappear and take you away...

This heart of mine is almost empty at best-

What’s with that face you made?

No wait, forget what I just said...!


The words you said to me as I said bye bye

Was that you loved me though I know it’s a lie...

It’s almost like you’re trying to makeup for

All the mistakes you made, and I’m wanting more...


There I go again, crying out again-

Though I’m not in pain it’s fun to pretend...

And as I change I’m taking centre stage

While laughing all the way...!


It was something- it was like as if this was connected with something of her past as she sung out. Gotta be improvising unlike last time, but you've been listening to this song recently, you should know this song well enough to sing without lyrics.

Mira blushed even more, trying not to be flustered with the kiss and just pretty much giving into it and hugging him more, giving a little quick kiss back.

These feelings we have for each other-

Stabbing into one another-

Wait, please wait!

It wasn’t supposed to be this way...


This string between us is a mess-

The stage we’re on’s in distress-

Wait, please wait!

It wasn’t supposed to be this way...!!


This love that I knew is slipping by me-

Breaking, making it harder to breathe-

This love isn’t real but it’s alright-

Though I know it’ll kill me inside

Unlike how her last performance showed her fighting spirit and maybe a bit of locked up anger, this was just releasing all of her other emotions, her showing her vulnerable side hahh...

Kyler couldn't help but fidget around with his fingers a bit as Solua continued the song.


You call me nothing more than a hopeless case-

But you pretend to love me still anyway...

Hey do these tears of mine look real to you?

Oh i’m just salty, it’s true! Not good, not good-


Hey don’t you think it’s funny how you don’t get_

There's nothing left for us to do but regret?

So go ahead and spin the roulette but see

Whether it’s love or hate, I know it won’t reach...


There I go again, crying out again,

Poison lips sewn shut, oh is this the end?

Of course it’s not, can’t take it anymore-

I have to tell you now!!

She huffs a bit- keep it under control- you can show emotion but come on, it's just a song- you can do it, you can do it.


These feelings we have for each other-

Stabbing into one another-

Wait, please wait!

It wasn’t supposed to be this way...!


This string between us is a mess-

The stage we’re on’s in distress-

Wait, please wait!!

It wasn’t supposed to be this way!!!


This love that I knew is slipping by me-

Breaking, making it harder to breathe-

This love isn’t real but it’s alright-

Though I know it’ll kill me inside-


She takes a quick breath and then tries to smile a bit with this next part.

But even if they fade away-

And places and faces change-

I will I will-!

Always keep on seeing you...!


And even if this string unravels-

Slipping from me forever-

I will I will-!

Always keep on loving you!!


Your love is always here beside me,

And I and I can't get it to leave!!

Turning me upside down completely-

But it but it it makes me happy...~

She sighs, but seems a little bit happier now and just goes and makes a little bow.

Les stood up, placing his bass into his grip as he fixed up his stance, slowly strumming the rhythm to the final song to be performed tonight. "Thank you for the great performance, Sol and everyone else. Now, I think it's time to end this."

The inkling stood tall, bobbing his head about before diving into the lyrics

Can't keep my hands to myself

Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf

In case my little baby girl is in need

Am I coming out of left field?


Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

I been feeling it since 1966, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

Let me kick it like it's 1986, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still


Got another mouth to feed

Leave it with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger

Gone with the fallen leaves

Am I coming out of left field?


Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

I been feeling it since 1966, now

Might've had your fill, but you feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

Let me kick it like it's 1986, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

All eyes remained on the crowd. The dude's clearly into it with every mini solo performed. Heck! He's jumping up before the chorus too!

We could fight a war for peace

(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)

Give in to that easy living

Goodbye to my hopes and dreams

Start flipping for my enemies

We could wait until the walls come down

(Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now)

It's time to give a little to the kids in the middle

But, oh until it falls

Won't bother me


Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming?

Is it coming back?


The inkling ceased his strummed, smiling cheerfully as he go for the bried acapella.


Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah

Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still


Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

I've been feeling it since 1966, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now

Let me kick it like it's 1986, now

Might be over now, but I feel it still

Les gazed to those left in attendance, taking a small bow before turning the bass around to his back. "Thank you again. Good night."

The inkling turned on his heels, and probably went over to Cairi's cabin for the rest of the evening.

Nicholas and Mira cheered, Solua clapped and Kyler might have as well, and Zaykin and Kylie lightly clapped, though Zaykin couldn't help be a bit distracted with how Kylie was hugging her after seeing the younger squids hugging.

Nick probably gave Arwin one last congrats and such before leaving with Paisley, Mira keeps staying with Arwin as much as she could which Kylie finds a bit amusing and adorable, though Zaykin, while being a bit flustered, tells them to go back to their cabins because of how late it is already, and then Sol excuses herself to go to wherever Legion was and Kyler let her be as he goes to put out the fire for the night.

Author's Notes

The final stretch!!

another fun fact, if I can't remember the inkling's usual color, then their singing is kept at the default color. rip
