21st Invasion

[It's Father's Day, and look who gives no fucks.  Squid Girl is in the back yard of 452 Stone Street today with a pile of lumber, a hammer, and a bunch of nails, trying to put together her glorious Squidbase.  Agatha promised her she could have her own TV out here, after all, so that pretty much sealed the deal.  Of course, if any guys happen to come by and ask her any favors, she'll have to comply, but as of yet she hasn't really noticed anything is wrong.  She'll be out here for most of the day, though.]

1. [Squid Girl is standing in front of the pile of lumber, holding a hammer and looking rather confused about how to start.  She'll be damned if she's going to ask for any help, though.]

This didn't look too hard when I saw those kids doing it on that TV show... so it should be easy for me!

2. [An hour or so in, and things aren't going so well.  Squid Girl now has two piles of lumber - one untouched, and the other consisting of boards with nails sticking out of them at odd and dangerous angles, and some of them snapped clean in half.  She now has four hammers in her tentacles, and looks quite a bit more frustrated than when she started.]

Stupid wood!  Why won't it stay together?  I bet it's because I'm using these inferior human tools!

3. [Even later on, as the sun is starting to hang low in the sky, Squid Girl has given up completely.  There's broken wood and rusty nails strewn all over the yard, hammers just lying there in the grass.  She doesn't really seem to notice or care, though, as she floats on her back in the saltwater pond Hajime made for her.]

I'll just use this as my base!  Then I won't have to build anything!

((OOC: Squid Girl is subject to the Father's Day event, and to any guy.  Have fun!))

That ability comes in handy a lot!

But I guess we're going to the kitchen.

Right!

[And she falls into step behind him, glancing around the shop.]

I'm gonna get sprinkles on mine!

[Like a kid in a candy store...]

I'm going to have a bite of every flavor.

[Dragging boxes out of the freezer.]

[Mart leans back, sighing in relaxation.]

Thanks, Squiddy.

So, this is all we got in terms of water to swim around in?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I only want to eat the best ones.

[identity profile] kinpika.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Searching for a spoon.]

They're all in that box so have at it.

[identity profile] deathraygoboom.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
What about all the broken boards?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
There's the pond at the park, but that's freshwater. And the pool, too, I guess, but it's always full of humans.

[awwwwwww yeah

tearing open dem boxes and digging in]

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
There were some technical errors.

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well thats pretty lame. At least we got this thing. Who did you say made it?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
His name's Hajime! He's one of my many friends around town. I had him use his water powers to make it for me.

[identity profile] mansfirsttrap.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
... hm. Would you like to try making it again with a little more help?

[identity profile] deathraygoboom.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
What ....sort of technical errors? They don't even look singed.

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
Really? You'll help too?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The kind with hammers.

[identity profile] deathraygoboom.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
No explosions?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to build something, not blow something up!

[identity profile] deathraygoboom.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
They usually go hand in hand.

Do you want some help?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
M-maybe...

[identity profile] deathraygoboom.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pulls out some paper and a pencil. Where the Hell did she get that from. Don't ask.]

Great. Now what do you think it'll look like? I was thinking something with a tower!

[identity profile] mansfirsttrap.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I would. It wouldn't be right to start something and only to give up now, would it? It would make you a poor leader, in my opinion. We can't have that image coming on you, now can we?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-23 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Can it look like me?

[identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com 2011-06-23 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
No! We can't have that at all!

[identity profile] deathraygoboom.livejournal.com 2011-06-23 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
...a fort to look like you?....hmmmm it's possible but it might not be a very efficient fort.
