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.))

[She raises an eyebrow.]

I couldn't force you, obviously. I'm just a regular human. I'm sure it wouldn't be invasive, though.

...have you had some past experience with this?

There's this stupid scientist lady that keeps trying to drag me to her lab and experiment on me because she thinks I'm an alien.

[Never mind that Sasaki would probably support someone doing precisely that if Squid Girl existed in her world. She can tell when it's time to dissemble a little bit.]

Ah, you shouldn't let people like that give all scientists a bad name. No scientist should force anyone to take part in an experiment if they're not willing to. And their experiment shouldn't have a chance of hurting the test subject. You've been unlucky, I'm afraid.

Yeah, she definitely does give scientists a bad name. And her assistants are even worse.

Well, I assure you, not all scientists are like that.

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
They'd never get anything done if they were all like that.

[identity profile] cramschoolgod.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Quite so.

Do you have lungs or gills, by the way?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Both, I guess! Otherwise I'd die on the surface, right?

[identity profile] cramschoolgod.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
You--you don't know?

[girl have you done even the most rudimentary research on yourself?]

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Pfft, like she's even been on the surface all that long.]

I never really thought about it that much.

[identity profile] cramschoolgod.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Perhaps you should think about it now.

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[And she stands there, arms folded and eyes closed, concentrating.]

[After a while, Sasaki starts glancing from side to side. ...She doesn't think squids hibernate...]

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Finally opens her eyes.]

Done!

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I probably have both.

[identity profile] cramschoolgod.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Twitch. Oh, you moeblobs.]

So you're an amphibian squid.

[identity profile] cramschoolgod.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...You guess so.

[Sigh.] Well, if you're ever more curious than that--[And this is a fruitless attempt, she already is pretty sure.]

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay, I don't really want to be dissected.

[identity profile] cramschoolgod.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not --- ...

Right, of course.

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, how else would you find out if I have lungs, gills, or both, right?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

Of course! I knew that!
