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.]

So what the heck am I training for, anyway? If I can't even beat one person, how am I going to enslave all the humans in the name of oceankind?

"I won't, don't worry!"

[WHOOPS ALMOST JUST DID]

[putting a hand on her head]

Show me you have the heart to kill and I will be sure to grant you such power.

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... and don't stab me, either...

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Why would I do that? Unless you brought that crazy gun of yours with you.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

What? I don't want to kill the humans. Then who would serve me when I take over the surface?

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... my crazy gun is always with me...

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

"You're not gonna use it on me, are you?"

[Waving knives around threateningly!]

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... why would I...?

"Why would I make something like that up? I'm being serious here, the least you should do is listen to me seriously."

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You will never get any to serve you unless you make an example. You must never be hesitant to kill. That is why this is your test.

[La-dee-da, la-dee-da--

OH GOD IS THAT A KNIFE THAT JUST ALMOST HIT HER?!]

Hey, what are you doing?!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[Wheeeee, she barely even notices.]

"Combat training!"

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

So I win by not blinking?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Kill, huh...

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Do not act like you have not killed. You eat the bounty of the sea, do you not? What makes these mongrels here any different?

[perfectvoice.livejournal.com]

B-But you might hurt someone!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

It just... feels different.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Um, that's the whole point.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You are a greater life form than humans, are you not?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Of course I am!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Then you are hesitating for no reason.

[perfectvoice.livejournal.com]

...Someone who didn't mean to do anything to you.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[And hesitating some more! This is a difficult thing she's being asked to consider here, and there are emotions swirling around inside her that run counter to what she spouts from her mouth a good deal of the time.]

"But some of the humans are nice to me."
