[001] [OPEN COMMENTLOG]

[yeoldedragon]

[Here's a Moonie, wearin' her human skin and nothing else (rage against human modesty! RAGE!), skulking through the ground floor of the barracks hallways. She can hear the skittering of spiders around her, but like other insects, she ignores them

[The pitterpatter of tiny feet echoes down the hall, whatever it belongs to being quite a bit larger than the the smaller spiders that run rampant in the halls.

Spying Moonie in the distance, the spider, about the size of a cat skids to a halt and stares.]

[yeoldedragon]

[She twists her upper torso around to get a good and proper look at this newer, bigger specimen. Moonie stares back belligerently into its many black eyeballs.]

[nopattythepider]

[The spider scuttles closer, pace far slower than what it had been a moment ago. As he nears Moonie, the spider launches himself across the hall to land on the other wall, a string of web trailing along behind him.]

[yeoldedragon]

[Moonie sniffs and finishes her turn, frowning at the web trailing out of its behind.]

Is this YOUR mess?

[nopattythepider]

[He cringes, dropping to the floor and pulling his legs in close. The spider looks nothing but sheepish as he glances around him. A red spider scurries down the wall and the larger spider points a furry leg at it, as though passing the blame.

Yeah Moonie. It was that guy. Totally.]

[yeoldedragon]

[She might not be a broodmother yet, but Moonie knows bullshit when it's prancing around in front of her.]

Think me stupid, do you? Get this disgusting web out of my way or so help me, I will dine on your rancid flesh tonight. Do not think I won't.

[nopattythepider]

[Threaten him?! Gosh Moonie. This spider might be smaller than you but he's quite the little trooper! He puffs himself up, front legs raised menacingly and, when the red spider gets close enough, he strikes.

Lunging at the red spider, he picks it up above his head, shakes it at Moonie and then... stuffs the smaller spider into his mouth. Bet you're scared now, Moonie.]

[yeoldedragon]

[If she didn't get the distinct impression that this was a very, very young spider who knew little of how the world worked, Moonie might have changed there and then just to show him who was boss.

But as it stands, she's that in spite of his size Patty has to be a child or close to it. Her lips purse.]

Yes, yes, you are very powerful and frightening. Will you or will you not get rid of this web?

[nopattythepider]

[Patty tilts his head to the side and then launches himself at the wall. Web streaming, he starts to write a sticky message on the wall.]

N

[yeoldedragon]

[Moonie throws her claws up.]

Fucking children!

[And she throws caution, comfort and patience to the wind. So what if her true self can barely fit into the halls? The web won't hold a dragon. So she begins the change, all swelling flesh and grinding bone and sprouting scales until there she stands in her copper glory.

The broodsister curls her lip at Patty and blasts a scolding stream of fire at him for his complicity.]

[nopattythepider]

[It's a good thing he's fast. Patty dodges at the last minute, feeling the heat but not suffering any long term damage. He runs out of range and once he's down the hall a little, starts to bound side to side, wall to wall, leaving a trail of thick sticky web in lines across the hall.

The path won't be impossible to pass, but it will take quite a bit of ducking and diving to climb through the web.]
