MC.Princess > Bahaha! Dudes screen name is just his first and last name. Gotta love old people lol

DJ_Hyperfresh > Hi, Captain Cuttlefish! Can you see the chatroom okay on your cell phone?

CraigCuttlefish > I CAN SEE IT JUST FINE THANKS FOR ASKING

CraigCuttlefish > BUT ALL MY LETTERS ARE BIG FOR SOME REASON

MC.Princess > Hit the caps lock key, cap

DJ_Hyperfresh > It should be the button in the lower left, depending on your phone.

DJ_Hyperfresh > Btw, I was able to hack into the CQ-80, so Agent 8 should be able to see our chat logs.

CraigCuttlefish > Te$+, 1 @M cUtTleF:$h

DJ_Hyperfresh > Agent 8, we'll send you a dump of our latest chat logs every few stages. Keep an eye out!

MC.Princess > Yo I'ma go cop some snacks PEECE

DJ_Hyperfresh > OK, gotcha!

■Webmaster■ > MC.Princess has left the chatroom.

CraigCuttlefish > roger dodger

DJ_Hyperfresh > FYI - I've been using the CQ-80s coordinates to gather location data as Agent 8 passes each test.

DJ_Hyperfresh > This place must be deep beneath the surface. It seems to be under the influence of a powerful magnetic force...

DJ_Hyperfresh > Too powerful for conventional models to simulate actually. Based on the numbers I'm seeing, powerful enough to distort spacetime itself!

DJ_Hyperfresh > Captain, have you observed any abnormalities in your surroundings there?

CraigCuttlefish > IM0KoWrU

DJ_Hyperfresh > Uh... Is that supposed to be some kind of secret code? Or did you just butt text me?

CraigCuttlefish > bRiTe aNd bAd

DJ_Hyperfresh > Okay, definitely butt texting.

CraigCuttlefish > H@nGrY4sUsH-E

DJ_Hyperfresh > Riiiiiiight...

DJ_Hyperfresh > Anyway, it's almost like your location is in a different dimension than Inkopolis.

DJ_Hyperfresh > As long as Agent 8 keeps passing tests, we should be able to figure out what's going on.

DJ_Hyperfresh > We'll support you as much as we can, Agent 8. Keep it up!

Session 3
MC.Princess > Yo how do I make the chat window full screen?

DJ_Hyperfresh > Alt-F4

■Webmaster■ > MC.Princess has left the chatroom.

DJ_Hyperfresh > Can't believe that actually worked...

DJ_Hyperfresh > Anyway, nice work passing those tests, Agent 8.

DJ_Hyperfresh > Unfortunately, I haven't discovered anything new since our last chat log, so we're kinda stuck in the mud.

DJ_Hyperfresh > But in the meantime, I was thinking we could get to know each other better by posting pics of ourselves!

DJ_Hyperfresh > Here, I'll go first...

DJ_Hyperfresh >

DJ_Hyperfresh > Whoops. Wrong pic!

CraigCuttlefish > now what do we have here

DJ_Hyperfresh > Uh, it's an old picture of Pearl.

DJ_Hyperfresh > Don't tell her I said this, but Pearl is srsly the coolest.

CraigCuttlefish > making rocks float

CraigCuttlefish > thats octo tech

MC.Princess > ARE YOU KIDDING? Of course you will! everyone loves you!

DJ_Hyperfresh > Thanks, Pearlie. ;__;

MC.Princess > OK stop it with the waterworks before I change my mind

CraigCuttlefish > agent 8 is also an octarian but also appreciates the inkantation

MC.Princess > It all makes sense now

DJ_Hyperfresh > I could tell right away that Agent 8 had also been touched by the Calamari Inkantation.

DJ_Hyperfresh > Once our souls have been freed, there's no way we can continue to live under the oppression of Octarian society.

MC.Princess > Which is why we all need to work together

DJ_Hyperfresh > Agent 8, if you're reading this, we believe in you. Keep going. We'll do everything in our power to get you out of there.

CraigCuttlefish > ill be back

MC.Princess > Aight

■Webmaster■ > DJ_Hyperfresh has joined the chatroom.

DJ_Hyperfresh > What's going on, Pearl?

MC.Princess > Just trying to teach an old squid new tricks. Cap here was typing in all caps again

DJ_Hyperfresh > That makes sense. You've got a knack for teaching. ♪

MC.Princess > What do you mean?

CraigCuttlefish > how do I make music notes

MC.Princess > Just click the smiley face to bring up the emoji panel. It's in there somewhere

DJ_Hyperfresh > Haha, remember when we first met, Pearl? I had just come to the surface, and I didn't understand Inkopolis at all. You taught me everything I needed to know.

MC.Princess > LOL yeah. I remember thinking you were some country bumpkin when we first met on Mt. Nantai.

CraigCuttlefish > ♪

DJ_Hyperfresh > I went to Mount Nantai every day for a week, just hoping you would show up again.

MC.Princess > Bahaha yeah, I thought you were a stalker. I remember you singing when I showed up and then out of nowhere you were all like "LET'S START A BAND!"

DJ_Hyperfresh > I just had a feeling about you. I guess it worked out, cause look at us now!

MC.Princess > I mean, that first song you showed me was fire, so I had to say yes

MC.Princess > Actually, I think I still have the file on my desktop. One sec...

MC.Princess > Boom

MC.Princess > [[media:Ebb&FlowDemo.frsh.mp3|Ebb&FlowDemo.frsh]]

DJ_Hyperfresh > HAHA YES. I haven't heard this in forever. This is the demo version of Ebb & Flow!

CraigCuttlefish > How do I make question marks

MC.Princess > You still here?

MC.Princess > The question mark should be in the bottom right of your keyboard. Knock yourself out

MC.Princess > LOL Marina I just remembered you made that entire demo using that half-busted keyboard you had. But somehow the hook was still dope

DJ_Hyperfresh > Couldn't have done it without you...and that ridiculous recording studio you have in your house. Those old-school drum machines are legit.

CraigCuttlefish > ?

MC.Princess > We're saying we could tell the track was bumpin. Try to keep up cap

DJ_Hyperfresh > I think maybe he's just... Actually, nevermind.

MC.Princess > Sorry about him.

DJ_Hyperfresh > I was shocked the first time I heard you rap. I thought for sure you were gonna be wack tbh, but once you started spittin I was like, "dang, this munchkin got bars."

MC.Princess > Haha shut up. Never underestimate the Pearl. aka MC Reverse Psychology, aka MC Danger Noodle

CraigCuttlefish > ???//?????////??/

MC.Princess > She's the DJ, I'm the rapper is what I'm saying, Cap! What don't you get about this?!

DJ_Hyperfresh > Anyway, I know we talk a lot of smack on the show and all, but I just wanted to say thanks. For everything.

Session 9
CraigCuttlefish > My name is Cuttlefish, but I don't cuddle with fish. My only wish is for a delicious dish.

MC.Princess > Maybe stick that one back in the oven, cap

■Webmaster■ > DJ_Hyperfresh has joined the chatroom.

DJ_Hyperfresh > Hey! ♪

MC.Princess > Yooo

CraigCuttlefish > Hello there

DJ_Hyperfresh > What are you guys up to?

MC.Princess > Just workshopping some rhymes

MC.Princess > The captain decided he wants to be a rapper, but he's not exactly comin correct with these rhymes yet

CraigCuttlefish > No fan of hip-hop is a foe of mine. I don't see genre.

DJ_Hyperfresh > I know! Let's look at one of Pearl's old verses. Back before she knew anything about meter or rhythm...

DJ_Hyperfresh >

Who need friends on this dark, cold night?

Not this rhymin' soldier—I'm a stark, bold knight!

On a higher level up here, can you feel me?

This Pearl's one of a kind, but my fam knows the real me!

CraigCuttlefish > Ooh this is on fire. You are a sickly rapper Pearl.

MC.Princess > Thanks?

MC.Princess > This is back when I was first comin up, before Marina and I met. I may not have known what I was doing, but I had heart

MC.Princess > Haha, remember this one? It only sold like 1000 copies...digital AND physical

MC.Princess > [[media:rec_bow_down_ball_gig08.mp8.mp3|rec_bow_down_ball_gig08.mp8]]

DJ_Hyperfresh > I always liked this one... What's it called again?

MC.Princess > "#$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin"

DJ_Hyperfresh > LOL that's right. I remember the stations refused to play it. For obvious reasons.

MC.Princess > But right after that we formed Off the Hook and recorded Ebb & Flow. That song sold like crabby cakes

CraigCuttlefish > Off what hook now?

MC.Princess > You seriously don't know? Geez old man. It's the name of the group me and Marina are in

CraigCuttlefish > Is it fresh?

MC.Princess > is it fresh? Come on my dude

MC.Princess > But furreal tho, the reviews of our first show had me worried for a minute there

DJ_Hyperfresh > Yeah, they described me as "the tall exotic-looking girl standing next to Pearl."

MC.Princess > BAHAHA

MC.Princess > Yeah, after that first show, the few fans I had kinda fell off

MC.Princess > But we won em back eventually.

MC.Princess > Good thing we did, or this Inkopolis News gig never woulda happened

DJ_Hyperfresh > Yeah, luckily our fourth single was a hit, right around the time Callie and Marie decided to move on

MC.Princess > We got really lucky with that Squid Sisters timing

CraigCuttlefish > Squid Sisters?

MC.Princess > Yeah cap, aren't those your grandkids?

MC.Princess > You know...

MC.Princess >

CraigCuttlefish > That reminds me. I should probably check in with them soon.

MC.Princess > They're probs worried about you

DJ_Hyperfresh > I'm sure they're keeping busy. I mean, their solo careers got so big, they outgrew Inkopolis News!

MC.Princess > Yo we've gotta up our networking game for real. We can't do Inkopolis News forever

DJ_Hyperfresh > Well we already have an offer from Humpback Pump Track to shoot a commercial. Once you learn how to ride without training wheels, of course.

MC.Princess > ...

MC.Princess > There's a bunch of Octolings just hanging out!

CraigCuttlefish > The Octarians are upon us

DJ_Hyperfresh > I'm so happy! It's all the Octolings who were reborn when they heard the Calamari Inkantation!

CraigCuttlefish > No fan of the Inkantation is a foe of mine. I don't see species.

MC.Princess > Yeah... anyway, this is amazing!

DJ_Hyperfresh > I'm sure the Octolings will pick up the ins and outs of Inkling culture in no time! And hopefully add some of their own flavor too. ^_^

MC.Princess > YESSSSS I can't wait to hear more Octarian music bumpin thru the city

MC.Princess > You think they'll want in on turf war?

DJ_Hyperfresh > Of course!

MC.Princess > NOICE!!!1!

CraigCuttlefish > TURF WAR? I KNEW IT THE NEXT GREAT TURF WAR HAS BEGUN

MC.Princess > Naw cap. It aint like that

MC.Princess > Kids from our generation treat turf war battles like a sport. You know, for fun?

CraigCuttlefish > Is that so? ♪

DJ_Hyperfresh > And it sounds like some of them are already working for Grizzco!

MC.Princess > Dang. Makes sense tho. "The enemy of my enemy" and all that
