Adapting Is Key
"Well, shit."
That was all Tidal had to say when she awoke in the grassy field that was very much not her apartment. She'd fallen asleep in her jacket and pants after an exhausting - but highly satisfying - day of turf wars, excited to have more fun the next day. Well, now the next day was here, and this was not the Inkling's idea of fun.
As she rolled onto her back and sat up, she took in the area. It seemed like there was a city nearby, from the smoke rising up beyond the hills. Where the hell was she, and how had she gotten here? This wasn't good; she didn't even have her Splattershot.
Damn. She didn't even have her hat.
But she wasn't going to find anything out by sitting around, so she pushed herself up to a stance, tied her 'hair' up into a topknot, and began to walk towards the rising smoke. At least she'd be near some kind of civilization, then.

Right nearby, a figure sat up just as she had a moment ago, rubbing both hands down his face. One moment he'd been strolling down the street; the next, he'd opened his eyes to find himself staring at a blue sky that didn't really look familiar at all. With slow blinks, he tried to parse his new setting, even as he tugged at some of his hair to get it unsnagged from the grasses.
"I didn't realize, when I woke up, that it was going to be one of THOSE days."

"Hey, oy, how'd you get here?"

Even as she spoke, she couldn't help thinking that it was a very nice coat. Fashion was a huge part of the Inkling culture, after all.

"Well, I'm headed for civilization," she went on, jerking her head towards the rising smoke. "You coming with?"
no subject
Nothing. Huh.
"Sure, I'm in," he said, opening his eyes and grinning her way. "If I'm going to be lost, I might as well be lost with cute company."

"You bet," she said with a smirk. "Name's Tidal, and yours?"

"Thanks! You're right, of course, but thanks. I like Knight. That's pretty cool, too."
She raised her hand in the air, waiting for Morgan to her high-five her.

That said, she was enjoying Morgan's company so far. It was entirely possible this wouldn't be the worst thing after all, but she wasn't about to admit that out loud.

But on that note... Morgan brought his left arm back so he could stick his right arm into it, a slight frown on his face as he checked the equipment he had easy access to in there. "By any chance, do you know how to fight?"

She proceeded to mime shooting off her signature weapon, which, yes, probably did look like she was wielding a SuperSoaker in thin air.
"...You know? You guys had 'em, too, but they were different. Look, I didn't pay attention in history class."
