16th Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[Action; around town]

[Squid Girl's got a new project she's working on, so today she's excitedly running around town sidelining random people on the streets to see if they want to help her out.  She might also be coming up to your door and knocking excitedly.  Special attention is paid to mousy, shy, or nervous looking types, but she's harassing more or less everyone she can find about this.]

Hey, hey!  Do you want to be in a movie?  My neighbor and I are making one, and it's gonna be great!

[Action for 1245 Williams Road]

[She also pays a visit to Taiwan's place in particular, because she's pretty sure she's gonna need a favor from her to make this thing go off without a hitch.  So she's knock-knock-knockin' on your door too.]

Taiwan!  Are you home?

. . . Well. I guess it's your movie. You can do whatever you'd like as long as most of it is happy.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

It's really happy for the squid! She gets to eat all the shrimp she wants, and the humans stop dumping trash in her home!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I-It's definitely a happy ending all around . . .

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Everyone'll be satisfied with this ending. I bet we'll make a lot of money!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Are you going to charge for people to see it? . . . What do you need money for, anyway?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

To pay the lawyer for the legal fees.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

............. What?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Apparently that stuff costs money.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Why do you need a lawyer in the first place?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, actually.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Then who said you did?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

This girl. I guess she must be one. She said there's lots of complicated paperwork and stuff if I want to sell copies of the movie. And she'll do all that for me, but I have to pay her for it.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about that, but I don't think those rules matter when we're here in Mayfield.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

So I don't have to pay her anything?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Not unless she helps you, I guess . . .

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

She was probably just trying to cheat me out some money by saying those things!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Oh! Jumping to conclusions like that might not be the best thing. Maybe she just wasn't thinking . . .

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if I don't need her to do that stuff, it's okay if I don't pay her anything, right?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmm .......

I think so. Why would you pay someone if they don't do anything for you?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Good! So I just won't tell her about it, and then I won't owe her any money.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

..... Don't blame me if she's mad at you later, though.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

She sounded pretty young, I can probably take her.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Um. . . . Try not to hurt anyone, either.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But how else do I make people listen to me?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You could ask nicely.
