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?

Maybe? It probably wouldn't be safe unless it's canned. We won't know what we'll find until we go look.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Okay... I guess let's go, then.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Have you seen anybody else that you know? I know you don't like Bucky much, but I wonder if he's ok.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I saw Mart before... and that weird lady with the black tentacles.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Good. It seems like it's mostly the drones who didn't make it...

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Drones are stupid anyway.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, but still. To see them burned like this is kinda... sick.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it is pretty creepy.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

They're not the only thing that's kind of creepy right now...



We can look at what's left here, I guess. I didn't look when I left.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Doesn't look like there's much left.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Not really. But it's as good a place as any to start.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

What are we looking for, anyway?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Food. Maybe some tools or things we can use to fight if we have to...

[She's just sort of glumly kicking rubble around.]

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

You see anything you want to pick up?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Not really. This is all just a bunch of junk.

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Well... yeah. There might be more downtown?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe. Let's go look.

[Squid Girl has been distracting herself by kicking debris along in front of her while they walk. She offers a similarly forced smile back to Kono.]

It's really all gone, huh?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems like it. But things might still be ok. Just, harder.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

They were already hard enough!

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

I know they were.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Where am I going to live now?

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Well...

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