Your hometown has just been leveled by a giant octopus monster who likes to eat humans/non-humans/whatever you happen to be.

You are the only survivor. You have one fully loaded shotgun, a coffee mug and a can of green beans.

Oh. And no magic or superpowers either.

What do you do?

ETA: Or any other abilities that you might have that you don't classify as 'superpowers' but allow you to do any of the following: kick the octopus's ass, bring back the dead, shoot fireballs out of your eyes, and so on. Even if it is 'natural' for you.

ETA2: And no worldhopping!

ETA3: So far, only Tenten, Itsuki, some crazy girl, some guy in a funny mask, and another guy have survived. C'mon, guys! Don't let the giant octopus monster win!

What use is a coffee mug with no coffee in it?

[pandorabox]

I dunno! What would you use it for?

[black-intruder.livejournal.com]

.....

[pandorabox]

What. Do. You. Do?

[seventh-gospel.livejournal.com]

Dare I even ask why?

[pandorabox]

What would you do, Bass?

[effulgentxx.livejournal.com]

Well, find your corpse, reanimate you, and kill you again for starters.

[pandorabox]

Heeeey, I said no superpowers!

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Is another attack by the octopus monster imminent, or do I have time to travel to another city and find a homeless shelter?

[pandorabox]

The attack is imminent! Plus the octopus monster made some kind of shield around the city, so no escaping.

....

Please tell me this isn't happening to you.

[pandorabox]

Maybe it is?

((... it's not))

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Wake up.

[pandorabox]

It's not a dream.

[desire-eternal.livejournal.com]

RUN LITTLE BOY, RUN.

Leave them, find a new home and tell them tales of your horrific ordeal. Find a pretty young lass, green as the hills, and woo her with your tales of bravery. Take her behind the bike sheds and then, when you are sated, refuse to speak to her again. But those haunting eyes will follow you, and her belly begin to swell, and you will run, little boy, to the next town, where the girls are yet prettier and yet more naive. They will take those eyes away, for a while.

And when they return to haunt you, you will take your cue to leave, until no town can see you without putting their hand to their pitchfork, and then, then, little boy, you will belong to my sister, and the game will be done.

. . .

Er. It was a hypothetical?

((LOL XD))

[maskedfugitive.livejournal.com]

Grab the shotgun and go down in a blaze of glory.

[pandorabox]

You and me both!

[maraich]

Cook the octopus. It's a delicacy in some parts of the world.

[pandorabox]

You'd have to kill it before it kills you, though.

[philoxidizes]

Negotiate.

[pandorabox]

Ooooh, that's a new one! Using the green beans as collateral?

[trinities]

Shoot it!

[pandorabox]

Where?

[del-mania.livejournal.com]

SUSHI

[pandorabox]

As long as it isn't fish, then okay!

How do you kill it!

JUST REAL QUICK cause wtf Kaito.

[dressedinmelody]

The answer doesn't involve danishes, does it?

This is what happens when I let him get bored

[pandorabox]

Nope. The only food you have is green beans.

[normalgirlxx.livejournal.com]

I'd go to sleep.

[pandorabox]

But then he'd eat you too!

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

Stop trying to copy Itsuki-kun.

[pandorabox]

I wasn't trying to copy Itsuki. He asked about fires. I asked about giant octopus monsters.

[edogawa-4869.livejournal.com]

....


you've been watching too much sci-fi.

I opt for a quick retreat to form a better plan of action.

Maybe if there was hot coffee in the mug you could blind it but that's obviously not an option.

[pandorabox]

There was a terrible B-movie on last night that involved the same premise.

If you hide for too long, the octopus monster would find you.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Bomb shelter.

[pandorabox]

For how long?

[dormition]

...Ask why it's so hungry?

[pandorabox]

It says it's because he hasn't eaten in a week.

[justaschoolgirl.livejournal.com]

...call the army?

[pandorabox]

There are no phones.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Shatter the coffee mug to use as additional bullet shards; octopi have extremely keen and extremely sensitive eyes. I'd lure it to a petrol storage on my apparently destroyed homeworld and shoot for those massive orbs. Once blinded, the monster will thrash about ultimately upsetting explosive material with the sheer friction of its gigantic thrashing and burn.


The green beans will serve as my victory meal. To go with the slightly toasted octopus.

[pandorabox]

Heeeey, I never said there was a petrol storage facility nearby.

And I determine what happens to the octopus. Not you.

[sassygirlsrock.livejournal.com]

The octopus can sing talk?

[pandorabox]

Yes, it can!

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

This isn't that hard, honestly. Shoot the octopus.

[pandorabox]

Where?

[createdpower.livejournal.com]

I leave.

[pandorabox]

You can't. Magical barrier prevents you from leaving.

[hotheadedrebel.livejournal.com]

Shoot the damn thing in the head, killing it.

Then cook it up and have sushi

[pandorabox]

What if the shot doesn't kill it?
