Technical Difficulties (A Splatoon Script)

Part 3 - The Truth, Crushes, and Other Things that are Scary

Micki: *sniff* (She stops to smell something.)

Micki: Are you... wearing cologne? (She's confused.)

V: Uhhh...

Micki: Oooo! I know that smell! You ARE wearing cologne! Just when I thought you couldn't get any hotter, you become IRRESISTIBLE! I love this! And you did this just for me, ne? (She hugs him and he looks awkward.)

V: Thanks a lot, Pearl. Now you've made her cling to me even more. (He glances over at her and she shrugs casually, despite still being held back.)

V: Come on, Micki, get off me, please.

Micki: Ooh, I love when you play hard to get! It's so hot!

V: No, seriously, get off. I have a date in a few minutes, and I've got to get going. And while we're talking about this, release Pearl and let us leave, please. (He tries to pry her off.)

Micki: I mean, I can't just let you all go now that I'm actually here, but- (She lets go.)

Micki: Wait, a d-date? You're going on a date? With someone that isn't me? (Micki looks negatively surprised.)

V: Uh, yeah.

Micki: With who?!

V: Her name's Coral. (Micki's stays back, a bit upset.)

Micki: Isn't she one of those agents?

V: Yeah.

Micki: And you're going on a date with her?!

V: Yes. (They talk.)

Micki: Ah! Noooo! You can't! At least tell me what kind of "dere" she is! Tsundere?! Deredere?! Undere?! Yandere?! If she's a yandere, I WILL hunt her down for you!

V: W-what? She's uh... she's none of them! She's Coral! She doesn't fit into any of those categories! (She gets angry.)

Micki: She's not ANY kind of "dere"? How? And do you seriously love her if she isn't one?

V: Well, yeah. You don't have to fit into a category to be loved, and I really like Coral. (Micki's confused.)

Micki: But, but, but... I thought you loved ME! We've spent so much time together! We're a lot closer! Don't you at least like me? Like, a crush kind of like? Like... [whispered] how I like you?

V: No, I'm sorry, but I don't. (He doesn't turn, but she goes after him, pleading with him.)

V: *sigh* (He stops.)

V: Look, Micki, I do like you. But not in a romantic way. You were one of my only friends when I was in Doctor Nariko's labs, and I'm glad that you liked coming to see me. But I just... I just don't think that we're made for each other. I'm sure you'll find a great guy to fall in love with, but I just don't think that guy is me. I'm sorry. (He turns a little bit.)

Micki: Oh... (She stops alone, sad.)

Micki: Well... in that case... (She starts to look angry.)

Micki: Soldiers, take them all! (She shouts.)

(The Sanitized agents draw their weapons and start to go after them.)

V: Oh no. (He looks a little scared.)

Sound effect: Wham!

V: Guh! (Sanitized Callie hits V in the stomach with her weapon, he starts to go down.)

V: Agh! (Sanitized Marina hits V all the way down.)

(Micki looks down at V. She has a muzzle and a container of the ooze in her hand.)
