33rd Invasion

[moemoetentacles]

[Action; 462 Stone Street]

[So, ever since Squid Girl got a new set of role models who happen to be gangsters, she's been behaving more and more erratically and irresponsibly.  And since she's also alienated herself from the only non-drone in her house, there's no one to prevent her from doing incredibly stupid things.  It was really kind of inevitable that eventually she'd end up hurting herself.

And from the looks of things on outside 462 Stone Street, that's exactly what happened today.  Passersby will notice Squid Girl collapsed on her knees on the front lawn, crying hysterically and covering one of her eyes with her hands.  There's also a BB gun lying nearby.  It's probably not too hard to figure out what happened here.]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!  My eye!  My eye!  It hurts, it hurts!

How long do I leave it on?

[headfullofempty]

[He shrugs.]

I dunno. It's probably fine if you take it off now.

[moemoetentacles]

Okay...

[She unstraps it.]

How does it look?

[headfullofempty]

Puffy. And bruised. But you'll be okay! Worst case scenario is you gotta get a cool eyepatch.

[moemoetentacles]

Ooooh, that would look pretty cool!

[headfullofempty]

See? Gotta look on the bright side. The Boss once got his eye stabbed out with a cigarette holder. Didn't even slow him down.

[moemoetentacles]

Wow, the Boss is even cooler than I thought!

[headfullofempty]

The Boss is even cooler than that! You'll never meet anyone cooler.

He took an empty desert and made it into a big city. Built a whole new society outta nothing.

[Deuce is very impressed with his boss.]

[moemoetentacles]

Where did he find people to live there?

[headfullofempty]

Other exiles. After the war, a lot of us ended up there.

[moemoetentacles]

Wow...

[headfullofempty]

It was pretty bad at first. Nothin' but sand all around. But the Boss didn't let that stop him.


Without him, we all woulda died.

[moemoetentacles]

So the whole town works for the Boss?

[headfullofempty]

Nah, the Boss is pretty selective about who he lets join the crew.

And the Felt are our enemies.

[moemoetentacles]

Who are the Felt? They don't sound very scary.

[headfullofempty]

Well.... they can be pretty tough opponents. Most of 'em have weird time travel powers.

One of their bosses is actually here in town.

[moemoetentacles]

Really? We should go beat him up!

[headfullofempty]

Haha, sorry, Kid. You're a little too green to be takin' on Doc Scratch.

[moemoetentacles]

And I thought I was the one with the bad eye.

[headfullofempty]

huh?

[moemoetentacles]

I'm not green at all! What do I look like, seaweed?

[headfullofempty]

Oh!

No, Kid! Green means you're new at this. It's one of those.... what do you call them? Things people say..... Expression! That's the one.

It's an expression.

[moemoetentacles]

Oh, okay! Then yeah, I guess I am.

[headfullofempty]

Yeah, but it's okay. We all gotta start somewhere. You'll catch up!

[moemoetentacles]

I'll try really hard!
