Pokedex Entry #8: SO MUCH SCARIER THAN SPINARAK [Westport]

[noneed_2worry]

((NOTE: The following takes place in the streets of Westport.  Sealand-mun is sitting right next to me, and has given me permission to involve him in this post.))

[Hello, Westport investigators!  A young Pokemon coordinator and micronation are currently running terrified through the streets of Westport, being chased by a giant swarm of angry spiders

[Theo's been rummaging around Westport in a furious fit. After not finding much of anything other than a suspicious photo that he now carried in is hands, he was tired, aggravated, and lost. He hasn't seen much of anyone alive since he got here... until two kids come running his way, screaming, being chased by a horde of spiders.

He stares for a moment, blinking, then starts laughing.]

Wow! Someone actually found something here!

Theo -> Dawn -> Sealand (just to be sure)

[noneed_2worry]

[Dawn stops a moment, hoping that someone - ANYONE - will help them, and this is the first person she's seen since running from the house.]

"Mister! Mister! Help! The spiders are chasing us and they won't stop and they keep coming back!"

Re: Theo -> Dawn -> Sealand (just to be sure)

[mare_libertas]

You gotta help us!! The spiders'll eat us!

[sanctusdei]

[Looks at the kids... he hates kids... then looks at the spiders.

Yeah, he wants a piece of that. But then it dawns on him: no magic. Ugh. FINE.

Without saying anything to the kids, the frowns, throws his cigarette down on the ground, and punts the first spider that gets too close. It doesn't go far but it manages to fly into some others, knocking them over.]

Huh.

[He starts rummaging around for an improvised weapon. He finds a large treebranch and grins maliciously.]

Yeah sure, I'll help.

[noneed_2worry]

[Dawn, still panicking, starts dancing around stomping on spiders.]

"Why are there so many of them?"

[mare_libertas]

[joins them. Stomping on everything.]

It was a big house! They probably all lived in the basement with their dark spider queen....

[sanctusdei]

[Theo uses the tree branch to smoosh lots of spiders at once. Gleefully. Seeing them get back up hasn't slowed him down, for the moment.]

Dark what? Who knows, nothing around here has made any sense. They showed this town [smoosh smoosh smoosh] a few days ago and it was fine. [smoosh smoosh smoosh] There's no way all this happened since then.

[noneed_2worry]

"Well, it's not okay now! Something big must've happened here!"

[Still stomping on spiders. Some of them have started to crawl up her leg. Dawn screams and begins shaking her leg violently, trying to knock them off.]

[mare_libertas]

Something big with a lot of SPIDER ZOMBIES!

[keeps stomping, but they're also crawling up his legs now.]

There's too many of them. We can't get them all! We have to get out of here!!

[sanctusdei]

[He continues to squish them but is quickly growing tired. He gives Sealand a strange look.]

These aren't zombies They're... normal from the outside. Maybe magically enhanced but certainly not zombies. [Annoyed, Theo shakes off some that were starting to crawl up his leg.]

Forget this. It's an uphill battle. [Already panting, he starts to run off.]

[noneed_2worry]

"What? No! You can't just leave us here!"

[Dawn, now standing still, has spiders crawling up both legs at this point.]

"Gah! Get off!"

[Starts smacking spiders off her legs with her hands.]

[mare_libertas]

Forget the spiders! Just run!!!

[He grabs her hand, and starts pulling her along.]

[sanctusdei]

[Already slowing down. Oh god dying sucks.]

How far... can they possibly follow? Try... heading out... of town.[pantpant]

[noneed_2worry]

"I don't know! They're definitely not normal!"

[Keeps running, breathing heavily as she goes.]
