1st Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[Someone's been a busy little squid today.  After waking up in a strange place and tearing her new bedroom apart, Squid Girl met the all-drone family she's been assigned to live with here in Mayfield.  Fortunately for her and probably them, she's so damn stupid that the ensuing conversation has her utterly convinced that she's managed to successfully take over the household, as the drones all seem rather accepting of her and willing to do things for her.  Finally, some respect!  More than she's used to from Eiko and Chiziru, anyway.  Clearly, this marks a turning point in her war upon the surface dwellers!  So after she's done meeting her new family, Squid Girl is out on the front porch of the house at 452 Stone Street, posing triumphantly with her hands on her hips and yelling emphatically at anyone who happens to pass by.]

"Attention, humans!  I am Squid Girl, messenger of the sea and your future overlord!  I have claimed this house as the first foothold in the coming invasion of the surface world!  Those who submit now will be greatly rewarded and receive preferential treatment when my brethren rise up to conquer your pathetic civilization!"

So you know what I'm talking about, then! It's unforgivable!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

I do, but...violence isn't the only way to fix things.

[She doesn't want to belittle what the girl is saying, so instead of flat-out disagreeing, she'll try a different angle:]

Humans tend to respond to aggression with yet more aggression. What if your friends were hurt in the invasion?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

We just have to strike fast and hard, before they have time to defend themselves! They won't know what's coming!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

[So much for working the sympathy angle.]

I'm guessing you haven't been out of the water very often. Am I wrong?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

This is my first time!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

I rarely get to leave the water myself, and there's a lot for people like us to see and do out here.

Before planning your attack, wouldn't it help if you took some time to familiarize yourself with the area?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, good idea! Then I can plan an even better strategy!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

Let me know if you ever come up with a plan, and I'll share my findings with you.

[By which she means: please please please say something before you start jumping people in the street, so Splash can talk you out of it.]

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Sounds good! You can be my field agent in charge of gathering information. I'll need to know all about the humans' daily habits and where they're the least defended.

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

Yes, sir!

But you know, not all humans are bad. There are those that would act without regard for others, but there are plenty who do care.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Well I haven't met any like that yet. None of them even take me seriously.

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

They've only just met you, and this place has a habit of making everyone seem ordinary when they arrive. Give them some time to see what you can really do.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

That just means I'll be able to really take them by surprise when I get my full powers back!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

[A short laugh.] That's the spirit. And what might those powers be?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

All of the incredible powers of a squid!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

Like living off of fish and being able to survive extreme water pressure?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Not only that, but I have tentacles, can spit ink, and even glow like a firefly squid!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

See? With talents like those, people will be on your side in no time.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Then I'll make them all listen!

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

And if they do hear you out, will you still need to invade?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I... guess not. I never really thought about it.

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

Then maybe we can all get what we want, without having to fight or take control.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But we'll at least have to scare them a little, right?

[rescue-siren.livejournal.com]

I don't know if that's necessary...

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Just to make sure they're paying attention!
