“Hold on Fennel. I’m calling 9-1-1! Hang in there!” The nervous inkling spoke as she took a deep breath and put her shell phone up to her ear.

“Hi! Emergency Services? Yes, my name is Scaline Lamar… I’m at the Grizzco Inkopolis Square location, someone poisoned one of our managers…”

How was she able to put that all together? Scaline works in mysterious ways.

“Thank you, thank you, yes, I’ll stay by her side until you guys show up.”

Now she waits…

“Hey Fennel! I was asked to drop off some papers from the B—“

. . .

“Fennel??? Oh cod…”

Fennel was conked out hard, lying on the floor of the room. There was a thin white foam at her mouth, and spilled coffee from her grounded thermos next to her. She was... breathing, at least.

“Whatever they throw at us next, we’ll be ready.” She smiled with confidence, “What team are you going for Grand Festival? I’m undecided between Present and Future.”

“D-D-Did we win? Is it over?”

I didn’t think this was possible.

[thepinkling]

Good job, employees. We've hit the quota far earlier than scheduled. Keep going, and I'll keep rewarding.

I’m down on the ground at the Grand Splatlands Bowl with the rest of the Golden Squad as we secure and evacuate the last remaining construction jellies that really didn’t want to clock out.

We’re about an hour from the predicted arrival of the Salmonids and you can feel it in the air. I’m not too sure how to describe it, but I feel the magnetic pull in my ink.

To my fellow opening shift employees, as we prepare to fight the fish back, I ask you keep your eyes and ears open. We must make sure that only permitted employees are on site. Please report any suspicious behavior to management. If you see something. Say something.

Please be aware that tampering with Grizzco equipment is against the law and you WILL be caught and charged. We have no tolerance for this kind of action no matter what the reason behind it is. Lives are on the line. Everything we swore to protect is on the line. Now is not the time to try and be an activist. You could die out here. Don’t risk it.

Yayyy! Employees are starting to get my latest slopsuit design. I created this slopsuit with the idea of unity in mind, as we all have to work together, so I used Grizzco’s main colors to make something sleek and effective.

I think they turned out great!

[thepinkling]

do you guys think we’re gonna make that company wide quota? It looks a little steep…

[thepinkling]

Hey everyone how’s it— Oh jeez. Oh cod…

[thepinkling]

The Flipper Flopper supremacy never stops.

In between waves. Decided to spread some propaganda. ( ^ω^ )

“Dean, you remember me, right?” The pink slopsuited inkling tilted her head at the much older inkling who was pinching his nose.

“Yes, Miss. Lamar, you dropped out a few years ago, but I couldn’t forget someone as… strange… as you.” The Dean of Inkblot Academy spoke, not even looking towards Scaline, but instead the massive hole in the window of his school.

“So you can trust me when I say my crews saw this window broken before Big Run even started.” She smiled so widely, but still held a respectful amount of professionalism when talking to the School Dean.

“How do you suppose it did happen then?” He squinted his eyes in response. “Windows don’t just break themselves.”

Scaline hummed for a moment, “This is still Professor Pike’s classroom, right? Students hate him a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone just… threw a rock at his window as they were heading out from evacuation orders.”

The Dean huffed in response, “I suppose we can check our cameras—.”

Scaline interrupted, “I don’t expect you to know everything about Salmonids, but you should know that the magnetic field that shifts during Big Runs tend to mess with cameras, I wouldn’t be surprised if footage from the last week has been corrupted.”

He groaned in response.

“I know this is unfortunate, but Grizzco isn’t reliable for student pranks.”

. . .

“I know… thank you for your time Miss. Lamar.”

[thepinkling]

. . .

Of course, boss! I’ll make sure to set the record straight! (￣▽￣;)

Heya, Mister Boss Bear?

It’s Scaline, um… so I’m on a clean up crew… at Inkblot Academy anddd apparently someone… ran through a window using a Grizzco Roller?

What should we do? The school’s not going to be happy about the damages…

(＞人＜;)

— Scaline! [ @thepinkling ]

Wasn't that window broken before the Run? They need to get their construction jellies together, really. They'll try to blame us, make sure to remind them of the real story.

Employee File #44759

Name: Scaline Lamar

Age: 20 y/o

DOB: June 23rd, XXXX

Gender: Female (she/her)

Species: Inkling

Current Title: EVP 999

Scaline Lamar is a Inkopolis Plaza native who began traveling down to Inkopolis Square for part time work at Grizzco to help pay for bills and her tuition at Inkblot Academy, a prestigious art school in Inkopolis. It was Lamar’s goal to become a fashion designer for a major company, but was turned down by many of her professors, many who said her designs were never going to make it. Disheartened by this, she went to a good work friend, Roe Marin (employee file #7256), whom she’s done many shifts with to vent about it. Upon hearing about it, Marin offered to talk to Grizzco Officials about allowing her to design work uniforms and other fashion pieces for Grizzco’s employee shop. Lamar was excited for the new opportunity, and began making designs immediately, which quickly became hits within Grizzco’s worker base. Lamar dropped out of Inkblot to join Grizzco full time, both as a salmon runner and a designer.
