24th Invasion

[Action; in and around 452 Stone Street]

[For anyone living on, hanging out near, or walking down Stone Street today - there is something happening on at 452 Stone Street that you may wish to investigate. The windows to the house are open, and the sound of a small explosion rings through the air, followed by the surprised and panicked scream of a certain little squid-child. There is now black smoke billowing out of the living room window, and the sound of coughing. After a few seconds, Squid Girl's head pops out of the window as she tries to get some fresh air into her lungs.]

Aaaaaahhhhh... what's wrong with that stupid thing!

I don't know, actually. I'm guessin' it has something to do with the TV, otherwise I'd have ya show me.

I would, but I need a better TV.

Ya can try ours, if ya want. [She's kind of curious as to what this is.]

I guess I could try.

Alright. My house is down at 457. I'm Barton.

Okay! I'll get the video games and come over.

Do I need to do somethin' to the TV first...?

No, I just hook this stuff up to it.

Oh. I dunno how any of this shit works. Go get it I guess, 'n' come on over.

Okay!

[She disappears into the house for a bit, and then comes out the front door carrying a gaming console and two controllers.]

Let's go!

[Off to 457! Where it's the same TV you had, Squid Girl. Good luck.]

So how's this thing work? [Barton will look over the console and controllers curiously.]

You plug this into the back of the TV, and then turn it all on.

[Staring at the TV.]

...But this looks like the same one we have at my house.

I'd bet every TV in town's the same then.

...

Better not try to plug it in, cuz I'd really rather not have it blow up.

What's the point in giving me this back if I can't even use it?

What year is this stuff from? Maybe someone else in town's got a TV it'll work with.

It's from 2010.

Then I bet they're different. I mean, I'm only from 30 years behind this place and we don't have TVs at all.

No TV at all? What did you do all day?

Only like a hundred other things.

Like swimming?

Well yeah, that's one thing. I dunno, I think TV shows are kinda boring, but games sound at least like somethin' interesting. Maybe Mayfield will send you the TV that goes with it someday.

Yeah, maybe. Eiko and I won this really cool 3D television in a beach volleyball competition one time!

3D? That's that?

It makes it look like the stuff on the TV is jumping out at you!

... That's a good thing?
