Splatoon | Project B.I.R.D. (READ DESCRIPTION)

Chapter 2 - Save Our Birds!

The sun was bright in the sky, unobstructed by the clouds. Its golden rays shone through the cracks of a bedroom curtain. This bedroom was Pearl and Marina's.

BEEP! BEEP!

An irritating alarm had been blaring throughout the room for many minutes. However, the two cephalopods were still asleep.

It continued screeching throughout the room until Pearl finally woke up.

"Ughhhh... good morning 'Rina."

Marina stayed sound asleep. Pearl wiggled out of her partner's embrace to go and shut the annoying alarm off.

She stood up and grabbed Marina's turquoise, octopus-shaped phone. It was covered with stickers of different bands, mostly the Squid Sisters.

"Why'd you set an alarm anyway?" Pearl asked out loud, "It's not like we have anything to d-"

Upon seeing the alarm, reality struck her like being crushed by a Splat Roller.

It was 10:05 a.m. The interview with Diade was soon!

"OH CRUD!"

This yell managed to wake Marina up instantly. "Pearlie, what's the matter?!" She asked, panicked.

"The interview! We're 'boutta be late!" Pearl explained.

Marina hopped out of bed and they hurried to get ready. They brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and threw on their clothes.

They decided to wear their casual outfits, Marina put on her white bandana, typical headphones, white top, jeans, and glistening chain, while Pearl wore her oversized hoodie, bedazzled crown, large golden chain, and pearlescent platformers.

The two also put on the masks and sunglasses they had brought the previous day (which they nearly forgot to pick up after throwing them off). No need to litter when you can recycle!

Finally, they rushed down the stairs of Pearl's lavish mansion and to their mode of transportation: Marina's motorcycle.

"Wait, Pearl! I forgot my jacket and our helm-"

"We don't have time!" Pearl yelled.

Marina rolled her eyes. She hopped onto the seat and Pearl hopped behind her, holding on tight to Marina. Marina revved the vehicle up and they took off.

"How are we even going to make it to Splatsville in nearly 20 minutes?!" Marina asked, "We're totally gonna miss the interview..."

"That train to Splatsville is SUPER fast, trust me. We should make it just in time." Pearl spoke. Marina nodded, but she was still worried.

As they sped through the streets to the Inkopolis Train Station, Marina attempted to calm her nerves. She thought about Pearl, Off the Hook, Damp Socks, Pearl some more, the Squid Sisters, and Pearl again.

As she settled down, she recalled the website Diade directed them to, which she and Pearl had looked at the previous night. It gave them lots of valuable information.

For starters, the group had been formed by Diade only a few weeks ago. He made a post about his feelings regarding the strange bird situation, and many others agreed with him, leading to the formation of the group 'Save Our Birds!'

They protested all around Inkopolis and Splatsville. They also hosted multiple charity events. One was a karaoke night with Off the Hook music! Thinking of their fans always made Marina happy.

With her nerves finally soothed, Marina felt confident they would make it in time. She revved the engine of her motorcycle again. "Rina, please don't tell me you're gonna go super-"
