18th Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[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.))

I was thinking of just using tape or a stapler or something.

[off-beet.livejournal.com]

Oh! I rather enjoy tape! Such a marvelous substance!

Ex... explicitly... [ Explicitly what? Nevermind, she quickly forgets about it. ]</sub>

Wah, xiexie, Sasaki! _{[ Moe flowers and shoujo bubbles everywhere, oh man. She squishes Squid Girl's cheeks more this time, too. ]} Does that mean you'll help Squid Girl protect the ocean and its wildlife, too?

[naicha]

You make it sound like you've never used tape before!

[off-beet.livejournal.com]

Oh, many a time. Daddy always said duct tape was how muggles coped without magic.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

What's a muggle? Can you eat it?

[off-beet.livejournal.com]

Those without magic.

...I don't think they would like that very much.

[Explicitly oriented towards SEXYTIMES. However, Sasaki isn't gonna say anything about that.]

I -- [SO MOE]

Well, I -- I've always supported taking appropriate measures to care for the environment, it's only common sense...

[Oh god why so moe]

[cramschoolgod.livejournal.com]

I---

...

Wasn't speaking of boots. It's a phrase, it means a self-propagating process.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Good! You're weird, but we'll be counting on you!

[Squid Girl reaches over to pat Sasaki's shoulder with a tentacle, looking all proud and accomplished.]

So you have to build an x-ray machine before laser guns?

[cramschoolgod.livejournal.com]

Yes, essentially, that's right-- or at least, it makes it much easier to actually build the laser guns. Almost every technological advancement is built on the shoulders of those which came before it. Even those which spurred the so-called Industrial Revolution--which seemed extremely sudden to those who lived through the period, and even more sudden in retrospect for historians--were part of a gradually evolving process. Manufactures are a particularly good example of this, because it relies on already having some machines to mass produce the parts for machines. The process of technological advance does not tend to come about because people are more intelligent, but because they have more familiarity with the resources at hand.

...Oh. Okay.

[Yeah, she stopped listening halfway through all of that.]
