Now that it seems we're finally free of the spiders, I'm curious to know what sorts there were. I didn't recognize a few of them, and the reactions some of you had to bites were ... nonstandard.

[he would have said 'abnormal', but this whole place is abnormal.]If anyone has any extra information, I can take note of it in case of any further

Didn't think you one for being afraid of spiders.

[longfallen]

I am not afraid of them. I just happen to want to avoid being mauled by them. It wouldn't be the first time such a thing has nearly come to pass.

[iwannabeadragon]

Now that sounds like a fun story.

[longfallen]

In retrospect ... no, not really. It taught me yet again why putting any confidence in others is always ill-advised.

[iwannabeadragon]

Hmm, maybe you should spice it up a little then.

[longfallen]

The story, or the confidence?

[iwannabeadragon]

Why not both?

[longfallen]

I don't feel much like recounting the story, spiced up or not, nor do I care to put confidence in anyone who hasn't proved themselves time and again. It inevitably ends in disappointment.

[iwannabeadragon]

Ever the optimist aren't you?

[longfallen]

Optimism blinds. I prefer to be sure of something before I even begin to consider it.

[iwannabeadragon]

Then it's a good thing I'm sure I can get the job done.

[longfallen]

Really? Then I look forward to seeing how your confidence plays out.

[iwannabeadragon]

It usually plays out quite well actually.
