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!))

[Mart grins, exposing his teeth]

What, you don't trust me?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

You're a shark! Those are my natural predators!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Mart walks over]

Whatever.

Just messing with ya.

All I really want to do is get in that pool.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[blink blink]

Okay, come on in!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Mart jumps in immediately, splashing water everywhere.]

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Just like home, isn't it?

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Mart gives a relaxed sigh.]

Indeed!

I don't suppose you would mind if I had unlimited access to this thing, would ya?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Not at all!

[On any other day, she totally would.]

[Mart laughs and lazily floats in the water.]

Thanks, Squid Girl!

And to think I was going to try and eat you and steal the pond!

[Mart does still love messing with people who think he may eat them.]

[Keeping to the other side of the pond. DON'T LET HIM SMELL THE FEAR.]

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Mart laughs some more.]

Hey, don't worry I'm just messin' with ya.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Okay...

[slowly floating back over]

[Mart leans back, sighing in relaxation.]

Thanks, Squiddy.

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

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

There's the pond at the park, but that's freshwater. And the pool, too, I guess, but it's always full of humans.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Well thats pretty lame. At least we got this thing. Who did you say made it?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

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.
