21st Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[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!))

... my my. Somebody has been busy today.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I was trying to build a base.

[Yeah, still looking a little disappointed.]

[mansfirsttrap.livejournal.com]

... hm. Would you like to try making it again with a little more help?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Really? You'll help too?

[mansfirsttrap.livejournal.com]

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?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

No! We can't have that at all!

[mansfirsttrap.livejournal.com]

Good! So climb on out of there and let's pick up where you left off!

Looks like you've got a problem.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I don't see a problem! Where are you looking?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

At all the junk around here.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

It's not junk! It's a work in progress.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Doesn't seem like much work was put into it.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

It's just not done yet! You can't rush this kind of stuff, you know.

3!

[Mart peeks around the corner, at first noting the pile of junked wood... then the nice looking body of water the girl is in.]

Hey!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Hey, shark guy!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Hey Squid Girl!

What ya got there?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

It's a saltwater pond! My friend Hajime made it for me.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Dude.

Awesome!

Can I jump in there too?

I've been dying to find a nice body of water to swim in.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Okay, but you have to promise not to try to eat me.

[A little close for comfort...]

...What happened to the base building?

[You're not!mother is sitting at the edge of the pond.]

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Nothing! I'm just... not done with it yet.

[deathraygoboom.livejournal.com]

What about all the broken boards?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

There were some technical errors.

[deathraygoboom.livejournal.com]

What ....sort of technical errors? They don't even look singed.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

The kind with hammers.
