18th Invasion

[Springtime has arrived, and it's high time Squid Girl and Taiwan got on with their plan of raising environmental awareness about the state of the world's oceans!  Clearly this is a huge problem that needs to be addressed by the citizens of Mayfield, despite their utter lack of proximity to any large bodies of water!  But such petty logic has not dissuaded our champions of ecological responsibility on this fine spring day, and so they can be found going around town all day long enthusiastically handing out and hanging up flyers all over town.

Squid Girl is dressed up in a magical girl costume rather reminiscent of something out of
Pretty Cure, and Taiwan is wearing this charming pink getup.  It's also really easy to tell which flyers were drawn by which of them, as half of them are just derpy-looking crayon drawings of squid, lobster, and crabs with big goofy looking googly eyes and smiles, and the other half have well-drawn pictures of moe-looking anthropomorphic sea life with cute Engrish slogans like 'Protect Environments Love,' 'Let's Cleaning! Fight!' or 'Yes! Save Water Creature!' (shamelessly yanked from Yana's previous posts about this).  Some of Taiwan's flyers also have pictures of Squid Girl in her Cure Marine costume accompanied by a cute little lobster sidekick with a pink bow.

Whether you're talking to Squid Girl or Taiwan, they'll probably just shove a flyer in your face and say something like this:]


Here!  Take one of these flyers!  They're for ocean awareness!

((OOC: There will be no particular posting order for responses, just to keep things flowing.  We'll each just tag whatever, and if you're having a conversation with one of them, the other might threadjack in halfway through!  For maximum lulz potential.))

...To dispense justice to the enemies of the ocean?

Exactly!

Technological progress bootstraps itself, Squid Girl.

Why are we talking about boots all of a sudden?

[Looks at the two...costumed individuals explaining the flyer to him.]

"So...it's a flyer about preserving oceans and its wildlife?"

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Right! Exactly!

[ Luna stares at the flyer in confusion ]

...aren't you worried about these getting into the ocean?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? No, why would these get into the ocean?

[identity profile] derp-detective.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay, I can understand that pretty well...

But, um, do you want people to be concerned with the oceans of their original home, or is there an ocean here in Mayfield that I just haven't heard about yet?"

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...The first one.

[Sad for a moment.]

But if one ever shows up in Mayfield, everybody needs to keep that one clean too!

"Well, that sounds like something important alright, especially if we have an ocean here all of a sudden, it'd be nice to keep it clean.

But do people remember what happen to them here when they go back home? Course I've never even been assured that people do go back home when they 'leave'...

For that matter, they can't really do anything to help their own oceans while here in Mayfield, huh?"

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't matter! They can still feel bad about it and then clean it up when they go back home.

[identity profile] derp-detective.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"So they'll remember these flyers when the get back home?"

[He glances at Squid Girl's flyer again...]

"This does look like something hard to forget alright..."

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
If there's a chance, I have to try.

[identity profile] derp-detective.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Too bad you can't make sure people take these when they leave, then you could be sure they would think about taking care of their oceans."

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, good idea! But how would I do that...

[identity profile] off-beet.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Flying, perhaps.

[identity profile] derp-detective.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"I honestly couldn't tell you, I mean, I hardly know what goes one when someone leaves to begin with.

If it's just a physical thing, then I guess all you had to do was make sure the flyer was on them somehow, I guess..."

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
But how do I make sure they keep the flyers with them... hmmmmmmmm...

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
But that would mean people threw the flyers away!

"Hrrm, I don't know. Scotch tape? Glue? Staples?" [Gumshoe is obviously just rattling ideas off the top of his head right now...]

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
That's it! I'll glue them to peoples' clothing!

[identity profile] off-beet.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
...or if there were wind.

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll just have to make sure to staple them down really hard!

[identity profile] off-beet.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a wonderful solution! I would offer you an adhesive charm but I'm afraid I don't have my spells remembered just yet.
