14th Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[Today after school lets out, Squid Girl can be found on the front lawn of 452 Stone Street doing some combat practice - or rather, that's what she thinks she's doing.  To the casual observer, it looks more like she's dangerously flailing ten kitchen knives all over the place with her tentacles while yelling various things.]

"Hah!  Take that!  Feel the power of my Ten Bladed Whirlwind technique!"

[She alternates through a couple of different routines: stabbing wildly at thin air, hurling the knives into a nearby tree before reaching out with her tentacles to draw them back out again, and just spinning them around in a dangerous circle all around her body.  Someone might want to stop her before she hurts herself or somebody else.]

I am! I'm using them to hold the knives!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Hey! Go away! You're not allowed to watch this!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

If you expect something like this to even harm me, you will be disappointed.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Shut up! I'll get better with practice!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But if you count my hands too, I have six times as many places to hold swords as you do. Which means I can learn six times as fast!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

You want a practice fight?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

"Okay, you asked for it!"

[Okay, Cyuss, have ten wildly flailing tentacles waving knives at you haphazardly. She has no idea how to fight at all, but there are in fact 10 of the things being held by some very flexible appendages, after all.]

[cuttlefidget.livejournal.com]

U-um, yes. That's me.

[He's kind of... totally distracted by her tentacles. Those are really cool. He wonders idly if the fact that his own mutation hasn't actually stopped will one day result in tentacles, and decides that'd be kind of creepy so he hopes not.]

But... really. What were you d-doing?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Training, of course! What does it look like?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Human weapons will not harm me, girl.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Well it's not like I've got a lot to work with in this stupid town!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

If you continue to think within such confines, you are guaranteeing yourself to a life of mediocrity!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

So what would you suggest, then? I don't exactly have a big crazy glowing portal that I can pull fifty swords out of.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It is not just a portal. It is a gateway to my treasury where all the things I own are stored.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

How the heck did you even get so much junk, anyway?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It is only natural for the king of the world to own so much!

"The amount of hands isn't important. I could defeat you with one knife right this moment." [She takes a breath.] "What is important is to feel your opponent's 'kill', and then avoid it, then feel your own kill. Once you can do that, you can fight as well as anyone. The key is not to close your eyes."

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

...Feel the kill? I bet you just made that up!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

So how the heck do I compete with that?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Hmph. This king can show you.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But if I get your help to train to beat you, it defeats the whole purpose of training in the first place!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should not be training to defeat me but training simply to become more powerful. It is foolish to strive for things you cannot achieve.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But I thought we were going to have a rematch when I was strong enough!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Banish that thought unless you wish for a premature death.
