[Squid Girl had a pretty decent meal of seafood at one of Mayfield's fancy restaurants the other night thanks to Finas, but she's hungry again and wondering where exactly the restaurant caught all of those lobster.  After all, more than one person told her that there's no ocean anywhere near Mayfield, and that's the only place she knows of to catch them in the first place.  So naturally she ends up in the park, since the pond located there is the only terribly major body of water Mayfield has.  She's determined to catch herself something good to eat for dinner today.  Maybe even for the next couple of days if she's lucky!

Unfortunately, she's already managed to forget that Mayfield has stripped her of all of her squidlike abilities - most notably, the ability to breathe underwater and the use of her tentacles.  Any normal person would just be able to swim to the other side of the lake after diving in, but Squid Girl has no idea how to swim like a normal person at all, so instead she just ends up desperately flailing around in the middle.  Unless somebody dives in there to save her, she's fairly likely to drown in the most pathetic fashion imaginable.

Later on, Squid Girl can be found wandering the streets of Mayfield, still hungry and soaking wet.  It's after sundown now, and the mid-fall evening weather has gotten rather chilly.  She was in that water for a while earlier, and this weak human body of hers can't stand up to cold temperatures the way she's used to.  So she's trying to walk back home, shivering and staggering down the street as she goes.  Every once in a while she trips and falls over, only to slowly work her way back to her feet and continue on toward Stone Street.]


((OOC: For purposes of future continuity and avoidance of crazy time paradox, only the first person to rescue her from drowning or warm her up afterward will count officially for CR purposes as having saved her.  I'm more than happy to tag this out with everyone who posts, though, as I want her to meet more people.  She will definitely remember everyone's kindness, though!  Just make it obvious somehow which of these you're responding to when you comment~

Also, Finas-mun - by all means, let's finish tagging out that restaurant encounter even though I've just posted past it with this.  I think that scene will go some hilarious places before it's all said and done.))

[just staring for a bit]

...are you alright???

[if anything, her expression is a strange mixture of amusement and concern.]

"S-s... so dizzy... why am I dizzy?"

[Stands back up and shivers, trying to warm herself up by quickly rubbing her hands against her arms.]

Oh dear, you're freezing. What happened to you?

[she follows suit, trying to help warm her up similarly. Yay body heat?]

[Yay body heat indeed! It's starting to work a little, at least to the point where she isn't shivering anymore.]

"I was trying to catch some fish for dinner."

You don't have to catch them yourself. You can just buy some from the store.

d'oh

Really! I can show you how.

I don't have any money, though.

That's quite alright. It's only natural for a princess to feed her pet, after all.

"Really? You'll buy me all the shrimp and lobster I can eat?"

[Kaguya totally said that, right? 'Cause that's definitely what she heard.]

Of course, of course.

[Kaguya might be getting in over her head, but she figures Squid Girl can't eat that much...]

"Hooray!"

[She's still dripping wet, but this seems to have cheered her up immensely, and there's even a bit of a spring in her step as the two walk along.]

[Kaguya seems fairly cheerful about having company as well]

But how did you get so wet while fishing anyway? Did you fall into the water?

No, I dove in myself. How else do you catch fish?

Date: 2010-11-11 10:11 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] help-me-eirin.livejournal.com
With a fishing pole, of course.

Ah--! I know what those are!

You do? Why didn't you use one then?

I was always trying to avoid them before! Those hooks are sharp!

[pause...]

Oh, I see. It would be very different to be on the other end of the rod, I suppose. But in this case, it would be you wielding the hook to catch fish... not the other way around.

I've never tried to catch fish that way before! Is it fun?

Date: 2010-11-12 04:43 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] help-me-eirin.livejournal.com
Very! I haven't done it many times, but some people do it purely for sport and entertainment.

Well as long as they're not catching squid, I guess that's okay.

Date: 2010-11-12 04:46 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] help-me-eirin.livejournal.com
Ah... well...

I don't believe there are any squid to be fished up here.

Date: 2010-11-12 04:46 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com
Yeah... I guess the ocean's pretty far away from here, huh?

Date: 2010-11-12 04:52 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] help-me-eirin.livejournal.com
Most likely. I have no idea where the ocean is in relation to this place... it seems quite irrelevant since we can't leave anyway.
