6th Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[Squid Girl can be found at the park today, marveling at this white stuff falling from the sky and shivering from the cold.  She hasn't bothered to bundle up all that much, because she's used to cold deep-sea temperatures.  Unfortunately, she doesn't have her squidlike resilience to low temperature or high pressure back yet, and this damnable human body just isn't doing the trick.  But that isn't the first thing on her mind - priority number one is to check out the lake and see how her mission is going.  When she gets there, though, she's confronted with something she's utterly unfamiliar with.  She taps the edge of the iced-over lake with her foot and jumps back in surprise, pointing at it.]

"What the heck?  What's wrong with the lake?  Why is it... solid?"

Do you even know what the surprise is yet?

If I told you what it was, it wouldn't be a surprise.

[bestwishes]

Well, I guess if you say so?

[... He's still not entirely convinced.]

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Right! Don't worry, it'll be awesome!

[bestwishes]

Hey, Ika-chan... You know how girls think, right? Even if you're kind of more a squid girl than a regular girl...

"Of course! I make it my business to know how humans think."

[It goes without saying that she's terrible at it, but that's beside the point.]

[bestwishes]

So uh... I kinda asked this friend of mine on a date, but she hasn't given me an answer yet?

I'm kinda concerned about the whole situation as I don't really want to risk anything important like her friendship in this whole mess...

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

If she's ignoring you, that's the same thing as 'no,' isn't it?

[bestwishes]

... I guess it might be? I'm not entirely sure as to whether it could just mean she needs time to think it over either...

Honestly, I'm not even entirely sure why I asked any more. I'd be happy even if I just got things back to normal again...

Then just bother her until she answers you! That's what I do when Eiko's ignoring me!

[bestwishes]

Just... bother her? Well, I suppose it's one way to get a response. But what if I end up annoying her too?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the point?

[bestwishes]

But I'm trying to smooth things over?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Oh.

You should give her food!

[bestwishes]

I guess that could work... Any suggestions?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Shrimp! Lots and lots of shrimp!

[bestwishes]

Shrimp? I'm not really sure that'll work?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Really? Why not?

[bestwishes]

I guess it doesn't really feel right for the occasion?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

What about a cake?

[bestwishes]

Of course! Everybody loves cake!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Make sure it has lots of candles on it!

[bestwishes]

... But it's not her birthday?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Then... make sure it's a pretty cake!

[bestwishes]

I guess I could do that?
