Eventually, your brain catches up to the sun and you look around. Jin is still curled into a compact ball of feathers, snoozing lightly in the sunlight. Your weapons are organized in front of you, and your shirt and skin are clean. Mom must have wiped you down and swapped your tunic last night. You can't remember much past dinner.

You'll have to get yourself to sleep early tonight. Giant spider or not, staying up is doing you no favours.

Stifling a yawn, you pull yourself into a long stretch, and set off to make the most of your day.

>Hey, some might be cute too.
>Implying that is cute

>>34322102
Well, we DID ask. We found out he was some kind of adventuring wizard-y type.
We might want to specifically ask what dad was, and where from though.

You look down at the harpy, sleeping idly in a nest of blankets. She basically wears underwear and some sort of wrapped bra. You could definitely make her a better set of clothing, right?

Right?

About ten minutes later, standing with silk in your hands, it occurs to you that you have no idea how to make clothing. That harpies probably wear as little as possible to eliminate drag, and that clothing probably messes with her ability to fly.

At the very least, you want to replace her scraps with silk. It'd be more comfortable. Other stuff can wait till she wakes up, and you can ask her.
But that means one thing- You need help. Elle is out hunting, so it's time to find Mom. You head up the tree, crawling across the bark with ease. You can hear her singing somewhere above you, a slow, lilting tune in a language you don't recognize.

You make your way to her armoury, following her voice as you go. The song echoes through the tree, layering over itself. A single singer harmony. She's at the bottom of the stairs, working at her spear the same way you did all morning, wringing out a rag before scrubbing it clean of monster blood. She turns to face you as you descend the last few steps, resting her spear on the racks lining the wall.

"Lyra," she smiles,"Good to see you awake, yes? You were struggling a bit this morning."
You scratch your hair awkwardly, looking away.
"I was tired. Really tired. Its been a long few days."
Her laughter rings through the tree, and her smile is infectious.
"I am aware, little one. You have been ever so busy, yes? Now, what can your mother do for you, hm?"
"Uh- Jin. Jin's clothes're kind of raggedy. I wanted to- I wanted to make new ones, but I don't know what harpies can wear."
Your voice drops a few decibels, desperately trying to imply that this is nowhere near as much a problem as the first.
"And I don't know how to make clothes."

>>34322171
She laughs again, urging you up and out of the armoury. You blush as you turn, retreating to the top of the stairs, scuttling onto the bark of the tree as you wait. She heads down the tree, folding her legs and seating herself once she reaches the nest. You sit next to her, waiting, while Jin has rolled into a corner, wrapping the blankets further around her. The little pile of silk rises and falls in time with her breathing.

"Now, little spider, we shall start teaching you about weaving, yes. How much have you done?"
"Nets. Just nets."
"Then we will start small," she says, smiling.

She shows you how to hold your hands, how to wrap silk between your fingers and work it into sheets, how to weave it into a loose, airy material. How to sew all of this together. Its harder than it looks.

"Your turn now, little one."

First project! 2d100, please.

we should ask mom how to fix and/or upgrade the crossbow, and how much money is in that bag.

>>34322199

Sweet I made it to this one

>Start small- a hat or a bag, maybe a scarf?

I'll leave the rolling to everyone else... the dice and I do not get along.

>>34322332
Hey OP will we get a choice in to what we evolve into or is there only 1 set path?

Somebody get a scarf on that harpy before it starts to snow.
Post will be delayed.

>>34322693
it's probably more like we evolve based on what we do and what skills we focus on

>>34322693
At our current level, we only have one option. As we Evolve, more options open up. Once we reach Widow Arachnie, we'll need to start thinking about what direction we want to go in.

>>34322280
i agree with this anon that would be so damn useful

>>34322577
There was no mention of it being damaged, so it should be fine.

We should see about finding a tree or bush that produced thin, straight twigs. Something that will make natural arrows.

Making flights from leaves should be easy enough.

Without a supply of metal, or ability to work metal, burnt wood tips would probably be our best option. Since we produce our own venom, they'll be far more effective than they otherwise would be without proper arrrowheads.

>>34322878
In that case, we should practice setting trap-lines.

That's how we learned it in the first place, that would be the place to start if we want to develop it.

>>34322913
you do realize we made our glaive and dagger right?

>>34322959
We polished up a looted sword and attached it to a pole.

Not exactly metal working.

Even it we did get a supply of metal (other than looting) I don't think our character has the knowledge or skills to melt it down and cast arrowheads or other things.

Then again.... Maybe Mom knows this kind of stuff? Can't hurt to ask.

>>34322913
or, we can try hitting a stone with something and get pretty sharp flint tips?

>>34323222
We can ask Mom if there's a place in the forest with the right kind of stone close to the surface.

That would be better if we can find the right type of stone. Volcanic glass would be best and easiest to work with.

Fire hardened tips will do as a fall back.

Your fingers fly like knitting needles- and the occasional snag is pointed out by your mother, drawn out and stomped away. I short order you've got yourself a square of woven silk- though you hardly stop with that. The square of fabric becomes a rapidly expanding rectangle, the scarf in progress folding over itself in your lap. (you don't really have much of a lap.)

You're so engrossed in your work that you fail to notice the harpy struggling her way out of her blanket nest, looking around like lost child before hobbling over to where you're working. She spends a moment examining your weave before yawning, her mouth nearly eclipsing her face, and struggling her way up your shell, half asleep.

Your mother winds up lifting the diminutive harpy onto your carapace, where she promptly returns to snoring.

Closing off the weave is definitely harder than starting it, but with your mother there to help, and with what amounts to knives for hands, you easily trim excess material off, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and also a harpy sized scarf. You turn and loop it around her neck, and she snuggles into as she sleeps.

Your mom manages to restrict her giggling to indelicate snorts, half muffled by her hand, as she walks you through making a large square of fabric.
"It's important to have a well-woven base for any work, yes." She whispers.
"If your cloth comes unraveled, then what use is it? You need to weave it tightly."

The noon sun is perched above you by the time you've managed a 'passable' square of cloth by your mother's standards. Now you've got the base for some other clothing project and a much higher opinion of what Elle is capable of.

>>34323715
Jin is finally waking behind you, rotating her head around to work out any kinks in her neck, flaring her wings as she stretches.
"Good morning."
"Yes, good morning- What are we wearing?" She holds the scarf up with her wings, tugging at one end, then the other.
"It's a scarf- You can wear them to stay warm."
She runs one end of the silk against her face, cheek smooshing into the cloth.
"Itsh very shoft."
"Spider silk is very nice, yes."
"You made this? For u- For me?"
"I've- uh, I've got s'more cloth. For clothes. What do harpies wear?"
"Mother says we cannot wear much, but sometimes we sneak into the cabin and wear Dad's shirts. They make it very hard to fly, yes."

You can't stop the grin from crossing your face at the thought of two harpies staggering around in a man's shirt.
"So what can you wear, then? Or what do you want to wear? If it's small enough, I might even be able to make two things."
"We want a better wrap for our chest! And-" She flaps her wings excitedly as she talks, speeding up as it goes along.
"And there was a man, a trader, and he had a shirt that went over a shirt, and it had no arms, but there were pockets! Lots of pockets! He gave me a treat from one!"

Her eyes are alight with memories, and her smile is excited, ecstatic. You're pretty sure she's talking about a vest? Pockets might be hard, though. And they'll need to be something a harpy can use. Maybe a pouch? She can probably work drawstrings.
You're going to have to get Mom again.

Roll 3d100!

I don't think we're at the point where we could make real pockets.
Though, when Elle comes back, we should explain the idea to her and make some diagrams in the bark of the tree.

Rolled 69, 80, 46 = 195 (3d100)

>>34323738
>Other.
Last thread, there was talk of a bum bag. Basically a pouch on a belt. We could make that. Easier than pockets in the vest, but bigger and more useful than a pouch around the neck.

Also, it's not to complicated, so we could make her a vest too.

>>34323738
>Pouches inside the vest? (Medium)

>>34323944
But the pouches in the vest would have less drag, while the bag would be an aerodynamic nightmare.

>>34323776
>nat 100

>>34324012
Sadly, not on all 3 rolls. Maybe our pouches will be mega-amazing or something.

>>34324064
Nat 100 on all three rolls is so improbable it's basically not even worth creating a rule for.

>>34324075
The rule already exists

The result is you win.

>>34323776
Woo

Why do you only ever crit when crafting things?
Last bit of cleaning, then I can sit down.

>>34324149
Only the best for harpy party-members.

>>34324149
Because while we might actually be GOOD at fighting, we secretly WANT to be really good at weaving.

>>34323776
Dat 100

>>34324149
Because it's a gift for shoulder harpy, of course.

>>34324357
shoulder?

>>34324357
She's a butt harpy anon

on a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be for us to flip ourselves over if we got thrown onto our back?

>>34324891
I'm pretty sure we sleep on our back, so it can't be that hard

>>34324891
>implying we wouldnt crush our human half under the weight of our spider side

>>34324891
Not hard. Mom flipped us during training, righting ourself wasn't an issue.

>>34324891
Not too hard, plenty of legs and likely more than strong and long enough to flip.

>>34324891
Painful.

Pockets are complicated. They'd be a lot of sewing- and more importantly, difficult for her to use.

Pouches, on the other hand, shouldn't be too hard at all. Your mother runs you through the idea; Basically, you fold down the top edge to contain the drawstrings, and just sew the whole thing to the vest. The vest is a few pieces, coming apart at the shoulders so it curves properly, and the breast band is just a strip of silk.

You slice it free and hand it off to Jin, who flies up into the canopy to swap it out immediately. She returns with her old clothes in hand, settling down next to you and watching you work.

Sewing is a bit weird- You'd done it once every few years before, but the similarities between needle and thread, and just using razor sharp claws are like night and day. You punch holes along the edges of your pieces, laying them side-by-side as you thin your silk out so you can work with it. It's a bit rough to start, but you find your own tempo, and the work flies by.

You wind the thread through each hole and back, an intricate X pattern that ties the vest tightly together. It gradually takes shape in your hands, and Jin starts bouncing in place as she recognizes the item.

You stopped and modified the design twice as you went- Loosening the shoulder, and slitting the armholes nearly the length of the piece. There's no point if her wings don't fit through. The pouches on the inside were even easier than you hoped- Squared off pockets with loose tops, and simple drawstrings.

>>34325186
You worked with Jin- It took her a few tries to get it on unassisted, but after that, she could take it on or off at will. She'd dip one wing low and pull it through, shaking the other to slide the vest down her arm. The pouches took a bit more work- You wound up repairing them twice when she's tear at them with her claws.

Vest complete, Jin strutted through the nest, wings wide, to your mother's applause, proudly showing off her new clothes. The harpy was very nearly glowing by the time your Mom started cleaning up the cast of bits of cloth, shooing you out of the nest and towards the river.
"You're still coated in dust, younglings. Go and see yourselves clean, yes?"

The trip is relaxing- for you at least. Jin soars overhead, diving and spinning through the air when you can catch glimpses of her through the trees.

The river looks just as enticing as before- Cool water, sun-warmed stones, and nothing to do all day.

I think we're the only one with a past life, if this is based on the LN then we're special

>>34325561
Neat, we ever gonna let spidermom or anyone else know?

Leaving her vest behind, Jin hurtles into the water, throwing up huge waves as she skids to a stop. You stop and watch a moment, transfixed by the human-sized bird bathing- She dips her head beneath the water, flailing wings in every direction as she tries to wet her feathers.

She slows, turning, as she realizes you haven't joined her in the water.

The river has slicked down her feathers, plastering her hair over her eyes. She looks like a half drowned animal. Like she's lost half her weight. You wade in behind her, laughing as you go. You work you way into a deeper part of the river, dipping your entire body into the current until you feel vaguely clean.

Jin ducksteps across the rocks, wobbling dangerously with each step. You scoop up the harpy with both hands, dropping her onto one of the wide stones. She plops herself down in the centre, but before she can lie down you've grabbed a wide piece of cloth, and proceed with scrubbing down the protesting bird. She squawks indignantly, and you dunk her again to rinse her before returning her to her sunning rock.

She snatches the cloth from your hands with one of her talons and immediately sets about her revenge, rubbing you down, hopping from the stone to your back to work you all over. She finishes off by jumping onto your shoulders, nudging you headfirst into the water as you laugh. You come up sputter as she cackles, and the two of you splay yourselves across the rocks surface to dry.

>>34327086
"Lyra?"
"Hmm?"
"What is your father like? I have not seen him."
You grunt as you twist around, rolling over onto your back, flipping your hair out onto the rock to dry.
"I haven't seen him either- Mom said he left before we hatched. His name is Erics, though."
"Ah..."
"And he is a mage, and an explorer. That's how they met?"
"Is that bad?"
"I- I don't think so? We'll see him eventually, I think. The way mom spoke, he's done this before."
"Hmmm. Okay."
"It's hard for you too, right? Your dad is human, he can't fly with you."
"He's there when we go home, though. Even if he can't come with us."

There's an awkward sort of silence. Birds caw off in the distance, the water laps at the rock as the sun turns.
"You've flown all over, right? Seen lots of things. Can you tell me? Or about the other harpies, in the village?"
Jin flops over, wings slapping against the stone as she rearranges herself.
"There are 3 more families of harpies in our village, yes? Sometimes we play, or compete, but we eat a lot. All monsters do. So we have to hunt- And we have to hunt in different directions."
She ruffles her feathers, producing a light spray from her crest as she settles.
"I win the competitions, though. I am the strongest harpy."
You look over at her with a smile, and she frowns at another thought.
"Except for Mom. She is too strong. But I will get bigger." She says with certainty.

You watch her carefully. Despite her frame, she seems full grown- she lacks that kind of mismatched look young animals get as they grow.
"How're you so sure?"
"Nnn?"
"That you'll grow."
"You'll grow too."
"But how are you so sure of that? I don't think I'm going to get any bigger, Jin."

>>34327109
She gestures lazily with one wing.
"Monsters evolve, yes? So I will evolve, and be a bigger harpy, and you will evolve and be a bigger spider. Maybe as big as-"
"I'm not going to turn into a mountain sized spider."
She huffs, blowing some loose hairs out of her face.
"We'll see."

You roll your eyes.
"So all monsters evolve?"
"It takes time, yes? Sometimes a long time. Mother says you can keep evolving though. That you can get stronger, and get special powers. She says her mother could call the wind, and fly faster than anyone!"
"Did she leave?"
"Yes. She flew east with the wind. I have never seen her."
"You've flown really far though?"

She nods vigorously.
"Yes! There are so many, many things, even in the forest. Ruins at the edge, leading into the water- and the shattered city stretches so far. And there a places where the woods have burned clear, and there are giants that spit fire, and monsters whose backs scrape the trees!"
She seems excited, chattering about what she's seen as you lay in the sun.

Noon passes quietly, swapping stories of exploration and tales of your siblings exploits.

Let's bring Sara...or just whoever wants to come, can be an outing.

Of course we must wait until nightfall for this, so until then lets-

I know that Jin is an owl harpy so the colors are wrong but does she kind of look like this picture?

Waterfalls and light shows! Please, Mom? Writing.

>>34327464
I was using this picture as my basis for her.

>>34327508
Shit nigga that is kawaii as fuck

>>34327508
Not as human as I thought, but it's nice i like it

>>34327508
Thanks, and I forgot that you posted that in an earlier thread.

>>34327508
Pretty great pic that. Fits great.

Anyway, I fully expect mom to say no to the night trip to the waterfall anyway. Might be a dangerous night, or time for the harpy to go home already, or something.

>>34327796
N-no...

>>34327796
not sure if she'll resist all the (18?) puppy eyes

>>34327796
And then we can be the rebellious teenage spider and sneak out.

>>34327883
I wonder how she'll take it if we come back evolved...

>>34328057
Yeah, I can't wait to get to evolving. Shit's gonna be so cool.

>>34328057
If we go according to the LN evolving seems to be an over night thing, like how we grew up really fast, we go to sleep and wake up evolved

Dinner is a bit of an odd affair. Mom is unaffected- But the rest of you sit and watch Jin.

Harpies eat with their feet.

A pointed look from Mom sends everyone else at their food, and mixed conversation fills the gaps. Half sentences, mumbling from full mouths, the works. Zach laughs at something Aria is talking about, spraying water out his nose- and the chain reaction ends with half your siblings choking on food, one way or another. Clean up takes a bit of time.

You creep up behind as she wraps the leftovers, and she turns on you with an expression that says she knows you're after something. You offer your sweetest smile as you begin your pitch.

"So... I was thinking that maybe I could just, I dunno, take Jin to the waterfall? She really wanted to see the stars, and I was thinking-"
Mom's eyebrows work their way up, meeting as she looks down at you with all six eyes.

C'mon, she's not that much bigger. You just feel small.

"We could take Sara- I bet she wants to try more magic- We'll be really careful, I promise! And we'll be back tonight! I'll take my glaive, but I won't fight anything-"
"Fine, it is fine, whelpling. The new moon passed us by while you ran around under the stones." She sighs.
"I am not sure if you are too much like me, or too much like your father, little spider. You worry me in too much the same way. Stay near the river, yes? That is the safest way on nights like this."

You nod your thanks- grabbing her in a surprise hug that she takes a moment to respond to. Then you scuttle off, readying your gear for the evening. Maybe this time you'll ask Elle to borrow her bags.


>Thats it for the evening. Sorry for the abysmal posting rate earlier.
>Schedule is clear- I'll run a bonus thread tomorrow afternoon. It'll start between 12 and 2 PM EST. Ill post on twitter when I'm starting.
>Questions and Comments answered while I'm in thread.

>>34328285
Alright, thanks for running! It was a lot of fun.

>>34328285
>"Fine, it is fine, whelpling. The new moon passed us by while you ran around under the stones." She sighs.
How long were we in the ruins?

>>34328285
thanks for running!

>>34328285
Oh hey, see you tomorrow then.

>>34322693
There are variant evolutions and subspecies, even for the widow arachne evolution. For example, Sara won't be a regular widow arachne.

>>34328341
You spent about a day and a bit underground- You went in at dawn, and came out noon day 2. New moon was the day before you went in.

Thanks for playing!

>>34328285
Thanks for running REQM. Say, do you plan on making the fact that we remember our past life known amongst the other characters?

>>34328629
If people vote to bring it up. There's always an other option, and I have no problem combining things so long as they aren't mutually exclusive.

>>34328678
I have no great desire to bring it up.

I sort of want to bring our brothers along for this one to see the field. They didn't get to last time.
maybe one of them will hit it off with jin

Also don't to forget to archive.
