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!))

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.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I'm a skilled builder, you know.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Of course. Because there's nothing you can't do, right?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Yep, I can do anything.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Then build me a base out of that stuff over there!

[Clearly someone doesn't know who it is that's supposed to be taking orders today.]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

If I build a base, it'll be mine.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But that's not fair! This is my yard!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

That's what happens when you tell people to do things for you.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Well, um... maybe you could just help me? If we build it together, it's okay, right?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

What will you do for me?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[waaaarrrrggggh event kicking in]

I'll go on a date with you for ice cream!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Who's paying?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I'll pay for it!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[She is going to hate you and herself so much in the morning.]

So you'll help?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Sure!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Okay, let's go, then!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Are they still open or is it too late?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

If they're closed, we can just break in and take the ice cream.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I'm fine with that too.

[SPINNING SQUID GIRL HEAD SCENE CHANGE

and now they're at the ice cream shop, which is most certainly closed down for the night]

Hmm... looks like we can't get in. Want me to tear the door off? Or are you gonna shoot a million swords at it instead?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Really? I guess you have a problem.

[Being a heroic spirit is great. Just

walking through the door.]
