wiggling between the creaky Ferris wheel spokes "Guess you could say I'm...wheelie good at hiding!"
CreamTenderness
"ink escapes."
creeping through the entrance of the broken funhouse "If I'm lucky, maybe I'll find a 'tentacle-ly' quiet spot to rest my cephalopod head!"
CreamTenderness
"I hope they won't catch you before we get to Canada."
hiding under a rickety roller coaster car "Oh, don't worry about me, CreamTenderness. I'm as slippery as an eel on ice!
CreamTenderness
"I bet those other fish wouldn't know how to do that."
perching on top of a decrepit carousel "Why, those fish are just a bunch of 'fishy' business! I'm the real master of disguise here!"
CreamTenderness
"And also the most versatile because you're a octopus."
dangling from a broken Ferris wheel seat "Well, of course! I've got eight arms to show for it! Talk about being'multi-tentacled'!
CreamTenderness
laughs "we are"
slithering up a pole and pretending to play a novelty song on a accordion-like instrument "Hey folks, gather 'round!
CreamTenderness
"Octopi have been doing polka for centuries. Germany is actually their origin."
with a mischievous grin "Ah, so all this time, I've been a 'pola'-rizing influence on this country! Who knew?"
CreamTenderness
"they evolved in Northern Europe during the Paleozoic Era as aquatic animals. And became extinct millions of years ago until you were extracted."
juggling three seashells while balancing on one leg "Well, let's just say I'm a'shell' of my former self, eh? But hey, being a 'throw-back' has its perks!"
CreamTenderness
"You might want to stop polka-ing before those hunters show up again, some people never learn how to use guns."
<As Inky continues to polka, they attract the attention of the hunters once again. A violent shootout ensues, leaving Inky wounded and CreamTenderness fighting to protect their injured companion.>
CreamTenderness
fires a shot in the hunter's direction and a gas station attendant runs past with his staff, gas bottles and a sledgehammer; very useful but not sure if helpful.
grinning despite the pain "Well, this is just a 'tentacle' situation, isn't it? Guess I'll have to use all my wits to wriggle out of this one!"
CreamTenderness
grabs Inky protectively "We have to go now!"
using their quick thinking and agility, Inky slinks through the debris and dodges bullets, weaving in and out of the broken rides
CreamTenderness
drags Inky away by one tentacle then shouts "Come back here!" as another hunter shoots at us again
quickly lets go of CreamTenderness and slinks through a narrow gap between two crumbling walls "Don't worry, I'll give them the slip!
CreamTenderness
"Hold onto me Inky!"
uses their camouflage abilities to blend in with the surroundings, becoming nearly invisible "No need to worry, CreamTenderness!
CreamTenderness
they hear our pursuers leave.
reappearing from behind CreamTenderness "Phew, looks like we lost them! They won't know what hit 'em...or rather, what didn't hit 'em! Ha!
CreamTenderness
"We should go home, we don't want any more of these bullets flying around our house."
