**Undercover Entertainment Co.** (A.K.A Dapper Entertainers) is a entertainment troupe founded a group of university students. They specialize in entertainment acts and shows during inksports, though mainly in Turf War battles.

## Description

Undercover Entertainment Co. is a mischievous group that regularly performs shows while playing Turf War Battles, and has gained an abnormally large fanbase. Each member of the team wears a standard “uniform” consisting of the Classic Straw Boater, the Inkwash Shirt, and the Punk Nights. Each of them carry an Undercover Brella, which the group is named after, to use as props during performance. The troupe is relatively small, but is always willing to accept new members. The group is split into different squadrons of 7-10 people, all taking shifts, as it is a part-time job for most members. The squadrons are run by an organizer, who would have had to been with the troupe for atleast 6 months to be promoted. Squadrons are typically named after their organizer, though if enough members vote against it the name can be changed.

## History

Undercover Entertainment was founded in the late 2010’s (Mollusk Era) by a group of students attending the Inkblot Art Academy campus in Splatsville. They started performing in the alleyways of their college campus, and later moved on to the streets of Splatsville. Due to the group’s strange and rather messy ways of performing, they were ridiculed and made fun of. This led the group to become very rebellious, and they began doing shows whilst playing Turf War, which is against the sport’s rules. For this, they are often kicked out of matches and sometimes temporarily banned.

## Performance Acts

### Turf Wars

During their performances, the members will first locate a part of the stage and go to there, placing ink mines and painting it. For the first part of their act, they will start super jumping to one other while saying common (but noticeable) phrases like "This way!" and "Booyah!". This part is usually the hardest to complete, as when the other team doesn't appreciate what they're doing, they will commonly ignore the performance and splat them. Once splatted, if they are unable to go to the spot they were before, they will continue their performance in their base. If they are able to move on, they start doing a squidparty, but fancier, adding in jumping and Squid Rolls. During this stage members may jump in and out of the ink in a circular pattern, occasionally hopping onto objects. Sometimes others who were watching will join in at this point. If available, some members will jump up and down ink rails. At the very end, when there's only a few seconds left, the performers will hop of the side of the stage with a last "Booyah" or "This way!".

### Clam Blitz

While most performances are held in Turf War battles, sometimes Undercover Entertainment staff go into Anarchy Battles. Clam Blitz is the mode despised by most of the members, so instead of the usual act, they will attempt to gather clams and throw them off the map. One member will try to stop the other team from scoring, as to prevent an early knockout. This was first seen recorded during a match in Mako Mart.

## Significant Events

### Date Unknown

Four UEC members began to have a tea party in Inkblot Art Academy before it was open for battle, and accidentally set fire to it. Four firefighters were dispatched to the area immediately.

### February 16th

While waiting to go into another match, two UEC Inklings went up to the café in the upper part of the lobby to ask for some tea. When the jellyfish didn't reply and didn't give any, they resorted to violence.

### April 16th

Tired of the lack of performances, four Inklings of the Skittle Squadron (one showing up late) decided to meet up without their organizer and do the performances themselves. It is unknown if Skittles ever found out.

### April 29th

On this date the shows started like all the others, but there was one Inkling that joined and altered things just a little. As the matches went on the Inkling kept going outside of the regular routine, walking almost directly to the opposite team's side. The other performers slowly got bolder as they went farther than their regular performing spots, though it wouldn't always end very well. Two notable members were Skittles and Peacock. It should be noted that they would add more squidbagging to the act.

### May 7th

A lone Octoling of the Skittles Squadron, Elaza, started a Squidparty with her teammate and a Inkling named GIMEMYLIME, starting a Squidparty during a Tricolor Turf War, though this was a mirror match. While she was not wearing her uniform, this was the first time Elaza did a performance solo, since she usually does it with the other members of the Skittles Squadron.

### July 8th

A few members of the UEC went into Turf Wars, still wearing their uniforms but using other weapons and playing like a normal Turf War.

### July 26th

Two UEC members had a successful performance with the opposing team joining in. Later on, after an Octoling that dressed in a UEC uniform joined but didn’t participate, they went on to play against the same team two more times.
