27th Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[Anyone wandering around... well, what used to be some portion of the town, since it's hard to tell now, will find Squid Girl collapsed on the ground having a horrible nervous breakdown.  Her tentacles are limp and lifeless, and she's clutching them desperately in her hands, rubbing at them and shaking them and talking to them.]

H-hey... wake up!

[She jiggles one around.  It flops about unresponsively.]

C'mon, I said wake up!  Move already!

[Nothing.  Her eyes start to well up with tears.]

Why won't they move?  Am... am I dying?

Well...

I think most of the basements are ok. That might be where I go to live, at least for now.

The songbird. We must wait for the bird to sing. What do you do, when the bird does not sing?

[bestweaponever.livejournal.com]

Can I help at all, then?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna keep looking around out here.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Why does it matter if it sings or not? I don't care what some stupid bird does.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Not unless you can find me an ocean.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Do you think you'll be safe up here?

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Brother never did wait....

If the bird would not sing, he killed it.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Birds are lame anyway. You know what sings way better songs? Whales.

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Whale...? What is that?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

They're like really big fish that swim in the ocean.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

If you think you'll be ok, I guess...

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

An invader needs to be able to handle any situation! If I can't even survive here, I have no right to call myself one.

[Translation: Putting on a brave face.]

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Fish...? Fish that can sing?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you have company to handle this. We both do.

[bestweaponever.livejournal.com]

There is the lake, would that help?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

It's a freshwater lake.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll go find Taiwan and Mart! They'll know what to do.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Geez, you've never even heard of whales before? What kind of life do you live!

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

I never went sailing. I don't know what might live in the sea....

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

All kinds of great things! Like shrimp! And lobster!

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

But no birds.....

I would miss the birds.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

There's seagulls and stuff sometimes...

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Do you live by the sea?
