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!

[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....

[moemoetentacles]

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

[lonelyremnant]

It's because.....

Everyone in this world must disappear.

[moemoetentacles]

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

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Squid Girl?!

Are you okay?

Shit has gone crazy!

[moemoetentacles]

I'm gonna die!

[jaws5sonofjaws]

What!?

Are you hurt?

What happened!

[moemoetentacles]

My tentacles...

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

[Kono notices her from the rubble of her own house next door. She's able to put two-and-two together from their conversation over the phone that this is Squid Girl, even though they haven't met face-to-face. Kono goes over to her to see what's wrong. Maybe she's hurt?]

Hey, are you ok? What's wrong?

[moemoetentacles]

[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...

[surf_n_makai]

[Ok, obviously they're supposed to move. Squid seems really distraught.]

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

[moemoetentacles]

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

[frogst]

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

Are you alright??

[moemoetentacles]

My tentacles won't move!

[hwamei]

[ 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]

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

[hwamei]

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

[moemoetentacles]

And there's still no ocean.
