(Fun Fact: In preparation for the prologue, I checked in with Marina's Splatoon wiki page so many times, its now a shortcut on my google page.)

We open our story in an apartment of our one and only lovely octo protag Y/N. The apartment is...not the best, but you can tell Y/N has definitely made some improvements from what it used to be. Even if he spends every morning waking up from an air mattress nap. His alarm clock starts beeping as he yawns and then gets up. Rather than simply turn his alarm clock off normally, he reaches down to the side of his mattress and pulls up a Splattershot Jr., shooting his alarm and shutting it up.

Y/N: Nice. 5 more minutes, then I'll get up.

(2 hours later)

Y/N: Alright then. Time to get up. 

Y/N then looks over at the alarm clock.

Y/N: Oh yeah. That's why my teammates told me not to do that. I'm sure they didn't need me for the turf war anyway.

Just as Y/N said that, he got a call from one of his friends. Y/N quickly picked up the phone and answered.

Y/N: What's up Bolt?

Bolt: DUDE! Where the hell were you for turf? Without you, we got whooped over and over.

Y/N: Oh its a funny story dude. 

Bolt: You shot your alarm clock again.

Y/N: I shot my alarm clock again. But cmon, I'm sure you guys didn't do that bad without me.

Bolt: Are you shrimping me right now? My man, you are a sea monster out there on the field. If we had you, we coulda dealt with this one squid who kept splatting us over and over again the whole game.

Y/N: Alright alright, I'm sorry. I'll get my butt over there as fast as I can.

Bolt: Thanks.

Y/N: No prob. Stay fresh man.

Bolt: You too.

Y/N then began his morning routine by walking over to his bathroom and beginning to brush his teeth, before walking out, still brushing as he turned on the TV. He then looked over at this aquarium and walked over to greet his pets.

Y/N: Hey Lenni. Hey Triton. Hold on I'll get you guys some food.

Y/N then rummaged through his cabinets for a moment before pulling out a bottle labeled "Super Snail Food". He then grabbed a handful of the pellets and dropped them into the tank, the two snails being very happy for the food and finally peeking their bodies out of their shells to eat the food. 

Y/N then went back to his bathroom and finally finished brushing his teeth. When he got back out of the bathroom, he was just in time for the news. There were some rumors about who was going to host the news after the Squid Sisters left, but Y/N wasn't the type to buy into those sort of convos. That's what made it all the more shocking when he heard the opening jingle.

Y/N: No. Inking. Way. Is it really?

Sure enough, it was in fact Off the Hook hosting the Inkopolis news. Y/N's face lit up when he saw Pearl and Marina on live TV.

Y/N: They really made it. THEY MADE IT! LENNI, TRITON, LOOK!

For a brief moment, the snail's heads tilted in a different direction before instantly going back to their food. Y/N finally finished up his morning routine, grabbing his Splattershot Jr. and running out of his apartment with a big smile on his face. Then after exiting his expression completely shifted as he turned around to lock his door. Its a decent neighborhood, but there's a certain few figures probably clamoring for Lenni and Triton soup, and Y/N doesn't take chances.
