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?

[Here. Have a wandering Oichi. She doesn't seem entirely aware of what's going on, but will stop to answer Squidgirl anyway.]

Yes...

Everything is....dying....

Squid Girl?!

Are you okay?

Shit has gone crazy!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Is it because I've been on land for too long?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna die!

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

It's because.....

Everyone in this world must disappear.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

What? No! That's not what needs to happen at all!

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Oh, no.... We must.

It is our fate.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But... not yet! I haven't conquered the humans yet! They're not allowed to all just die!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

What!?

Are you hurt?

What happened!

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

My tentacles...

[She holds one of them up, and it just flops over in her hand.]

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

They cannot be conquered. They will all die....

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Aw geeze...

Don't worry, I'm sure all this shit is just something the town's doing and then will undo.

[He holds out a hand.]

Lemme help you.

Hey, are you ok? What's wrong?

[echidna]

[ Oh no! This scene is very unsettling, and not just because of the tentacles. Jade looks concerned, approaching cautiously. ]

Are you alright??

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

My tentacles won't move!

[naicha]

[ Oh dear. Don't cry, Squid Girl, don't cry! She can't bear to see you like this. ]

Squid Girl! Aiya... [ She rushes to crouch by her side. ] Is everything all right? You're not hurt, are you?

[ Taiwan is hesitating, but she tries to reach out to her. ]

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

My tentacles... what's wrong with them? Why can't I move them anymore? What did they do to me?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[Squid Girl's just sort of numbly poking at her own tentacles, pushing them back and forth and trying to get them to move.]

They won't move...

[naicha]

I don't know... It looks like the whole town is gone. So it was all fake...

[surf-n-makai.livejournal.com]

Maybe it has something to do with what's going on in town? Other than that, are you ok?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

But that's not fair! I was just getting to like some of them.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[She reaches up to take his hand, sniffling.]

What am I going to do now?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

And there's still no ocean.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

I don't know...

But we'll work our way through this.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I guess so... but what if there's something wrong with me? What if I really am dying?
