not your agent

Indie RP blog for an (ex) agent 8. She's...got issues. Non-selective, try me

“...so, I might have been out of the loop, but Octavio resigned?”

“BOOYAH.”

“Next up, cull the military shills”

ALIGNMENT - CHAOS

Red’s entire existence has always been around subverting expectations. After all, just because she’s an Octoling doesn’t mean that she has elite battle skills, amazing brains, or even her own brother’s loyalty.

She is who she is, and she’s not gonna change that to please. Yes, she’s going to state some ugly truths, but she is never one to manipulate, to slander.

After all, the revolution she’s pushing for is there to topple an unfair incarnation of order.

“I still can’t believe someone did that. Like, seriously, what is wrong with people?” Uh oh. 

“Yeah, trying to interact with the public isn’t easy! Especially if they start, like scrutinizing everything you do. Sometimes they do that if they’re upset. I mean, I think you have two options. You could try to look friendlier, or you could really lean into the ass-kicking thing. Annaki’s kinda good for either, since their clothes are cute but also totally punk. If you wanna look friendly, you could maybe go for the Evolution Tee or Drive Tee with the Habaneros or Tigers? And if you’re going for a cooler look, maybe the Rockin’ Leather Jacket and Arachno Boots.”

“It felt hurtful at the time, but some Inklings aren’t as willing to understand what they consider...the lower masses. I’m just a commoner to them, so my opinion is not of importance to them.”

“It’s not all of their entourage that’s like that, so eventually, I hope that contact with people with a more open-mind is going to make them understand that...their point of view isn’t the only one that matters! Like their girlfriend - I met her a couple times! Very fresh, very open-minded, the kind of girl I’d willing be chillin’ with, you know the drill. If we had a skeleton, I’d say she’s bad to the bone!”

Red, please.

“Usually, when I’m tag-teaming with Meenah, we’re playing on that....good cop bad cop kind of vibe, so I like the idea of a Leather Jacket! Rockenberg makes some gnarly ones too. Might have to go and put some more pins and patches on it, but that’s totally radical! Thanks so much for your help!”

“I don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t around, for eel!”

“Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m pretty sure my looks are at least half of the reason I draw as much attention as I do. It’s unfortunate, but we can work on changing it! And I don’t think it makes you a hypocrite at all. In the meantime, I’ve got ideas.”

“It’s all about confidence. You can be rocking pretty much any look you want as long as you’re showing it proudly. Walking around like ‘yeah, I know I look great’ really gets people to notice you. You wanna go for a consistent aesthetic too. I wouldn’t look great if I was wearing my cardigan and a robot helmet and that new bracelet thing, right? I’d look horrible. But with the earrings and shoes I’ve got, I look like a refined schoolgirl, and that’s the look I wanna capture. Do you have any ideas for the look you’re going for?”

“I mean, I ain’t dressing like a hobo, but I don’t want another asshole telling me that if I’m not happy, I can just go back to my hole in the dirt.”

Yups, she still isn’t over that, despite that happening months ago.

“Confidence isn’t the issue, after all of the time I’ve been yelling around - I got quite the thick skin - most of the time, anyway.”

“It’s just...This public relations thing is a lot more complicated and requires more calculation than I thought!”

“Right now, I go with the aesthetic of “anything that can conceal me and allows me to kick ass, but Meenah said that I gotta look...friendlier. She said I could look into Annaki’s newest catalogue if I wanted some inspiration, but I’m completely at a loss.”

“You could always make a utilitarian town! And you might like the new one, there’s lots of material gathering and crafting.” She grins, striking a bit of a confident pose as Red talks about fashion. That…wasn’t what Metry expected from her, but she’s gonna roll with it. “Sure, I’d love to teach you! Where do you wanna start?”

“I hate to admit it, but it seems like our message is having a easier time getting across when the ones saying it looks....at least conventionally attractive. So...I thought - maybe I do need a slight relooking, nothing radical!”

“But...honestly, I don’t really know what I should start with, and since your fashion is always top-notch, I was hoping you could give me some pointers.” 

“I mean - I might dislike freshness culture and all, but it doesn’t mean I can’t take care of my look -  I just hope I don’t sound too much like an hypocrite! Like, I’m trying to look fresher, so that my message to tell people to stop being superficial gets more...power, I guess!”

what does your ideal future look like?

“An equal future, with good opportunities for everyone. With no dumb discrimination and other bullshittery” 

“Call me an idealist all you want, but I feel that, for Inkopolis to truly thrive, we have to see each other as equals, not rivals.”

For the next five asks, my muse cannot tell a lie.

“Oh, it’s not about literal crossings! It’s, like, a town simulator. You can decorate a house and get villagers to move in and customize a whole bunch of stuff! It’s really, really relaxing. And the villain of the games is an evil capitalist.” 

[eighters]

“That sounds actually pretty interesting, for eel!”

“I don’t think I’d be good at that kind of game -  I know nothing about decorating - everything I do is utilitarian! I mean, you’re so stylish - you have to teach me all the things about fashion and customising stuff...and not just in the crossing of animals!”

“...you gotta teach me EVERYTHING about the styling!”

[cardiganmetry]

"March 20th? Thought your birthday was on the 31st! Is there something special I'm missing?"

“It’s when the new Animal Crossing game comes out, and I need it in my life.”

[eighters]

Oh, Red does enjoy her games without violence (she is probably the only person on this planet to unironically want things like Super Mario Curling or Super Mario Badminton) but the concept of Animal Crossing is lost on her.

“Animal....Crossing...?”

“Like, what are they crossing? Streets? Highways? Seems like a weird game to me!”

[eighters]

“Summer solstice is coming and with this - another baller Nobody event. I just can’t wait - it’s gonna be RADICAL!”

[enigmaling]

“A true efficient social revolution can only born in one way, and it’s through order.”

“You cannot change the order if everyone is rowing in a different, yet valid, direction. Division is what keeps the current, unfair system alive.”

“If we decide to all look in the same direction, and aim at the exact same goals, in a cleverly calculated way…we can, and will topple this unfair establishment in due time. It demands patience. but order is the only way to truly thrive”

[eighters]

“Yeah, if you’re boooooooring and want to calculate for the rest of your life, go ahead. Meanwhile, I’ll just stealthily Suction Bombs people in the name of revolution and chaos. ;)”

IF \\ red

Despite not living under pressure in Octo Valley, nor undergoing the trials of the Deepsea Metro, Red isn’t much different in the IF timeline than she is in the main timeline.

She is still a knight errant, willing to do everything for what she sees as justice. Inkopolis might be a united society when you look at it quickly, but there are still issues underlying below.

Her association with the Nobody movement is absolutely still a thing - the only difference is that she didn’t completely burn bridges with her elder brother, a renowned sociologist that she loves to bother about social justice and other problems.

He’s still a priviledged bastard though.

“Remember: residents of Inkopolis, you are more of a danger to bees that bees are a danger to you.”

“Do not taunt, threaten, or hurt bees. They are also not a big fan of loud noises - you wouldn’t want to give these bees anxiety, right? Be kind to them - most of our food production relies on the existence of these funky insects.”

“And if you see bees swarming on an object, such as a building, tree or telephone, make sure to contact a local apiculturist.”
