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?

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?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I usually live in it, but yeah, I'm staying on a beach back at home lately.

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Oh, how nice....


Are you a fish?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Right! I'm a squid.

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

.........

You are so very strange looking.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Huh? Strange how? I've got tentacles like a squid...

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

But also arms... legs.....

Do squids always have such things?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Don't they?

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

I hadn't thought so.....

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm definitely a squid.

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

...........

I never knew squids looked so human. Do you bleed the same color too?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Why would that matter?

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

To see if you're the same on the inside...

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[B-backing up now...]

G-get away! You just want to eat me, don't you? Admit it!

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Eat you....?

[SHe hadn't really considered that before...]

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I know that look! And why else would you ask me about what color my blood is?!

[POINTING ACCUSINGLY.]

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

[She laughs, a short hollow giggle.]

Would it look pretty I wonder, strewn across the snow?

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[Okay, yeah, now she's definitely backing off.]

G-get away! You're not doing anything with my blood! I'll bring my army here and beat you up!

[And by 'army' she means 'Taiwan and Mart.' And by 'Taiwan and Mart' she means 'still just me.']

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

Oh..... You have an army?

It has been a long time since I've fought an army....

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

Y... yeah! A really big one! So you better not try anything funny!

[lonelyremnant.livejournal.com]

A large army?

[She giggles.]

So many flowers, do you mind if I pluck a few from the ground?
