She flutters down from the canopy, circling you, examining you intently, Sheszka stepping back to allow her space, waiting patiently.
"Hnnn- I do not recall you being red."
"My name is Lyra, yes? And the red came later. You will look different when you change, will you not?"

She completes her circuit, and takes to the air, hovering gently in the air before you- the girl is barely 4 feet tall, though her wingspan makes her seem larger.
"I am not sure I will be changing colour, in any case," She smiles. "I am Nin- Rie's older sister."
"I thought you were twins?"

Her expression grows ever so slightly haughty, tilting her head and looking down her nose at you.
"I am older by nearly twelve whole seconds. I am much more mature."
You hold back the laughter, but your grin uncontrollably as she floats, hands on her hips, taking unending pride in her quarter-minute of superiority.

You wait for the girl to continue, and she surprises you by folding her hands before her, closing in till she's face to face.
"Thank you for saving her though." Her smile is bright, genuine. "I love her very much. I do not know-"

Orb master race. Just think of all the things we could do with strings!

>>35198553
Nope SkullButt Spider is where its at.

Although we will probably get WolfSpider first

>>35198553
Grave superior, all else inferior

>>35198553
I respect your opinion and wish you luck

Grave a best

This won't be relevant for a while, but I have an idea for our dungeon crawl.

Outside of the dungeon, have Sara feed us some mana and focus on our tremor sense. Try and 'ask' the earth to show us things. Maybe we can get a mental map of the dungeon or something. Or maybe just boost our tremor sense a bit.

>>35198553
>>35198584
I also support the codex fluffy.

>>35198635
That sounds like a smart, we can give it a try

>>35198592
The codex astartes dice gods do not support this action.

We've been shit at every web roll except for the turtlecroc last thread. Skullbutt a best because it might lead to filthy magics.

>>35198635
sounds like a neat idea

>>35198651

But we can't do magic on our own, only mess with the magic of others. We'd need to carry Sara like some sort of demented mana battery and that's still going to end up being used less efficiently than if we'd leave it to the magic expert.

>>35198673

>>35198770
...
Grave spider 100% a best

>>35198770
L-lewd

>>35198770

But if we're already physically powerful enough to get up in their shit and grapple them, consistently enough to get mana out of it, how wouldn't we already be dominating them in close combat so hard that it wouldn't even matter?

We cannot into magic-casting spider. It is something we will have to deal with, in lieu of being 2legit2quit spider in general.

>>35198592
Worst choice

>>35198827
I don't even know why people think GraveSpider will be the magic casting one, when its the biggest evolution and the most armored and armed one with the spikes on its legs.

As you watch the young moth try and find the words she needs, your fingers twitch conspiratorially. What is it with animal people who've got things on their heads? It's just- You really want to pat her, reassure her.

Maybe it's just you? Is this some sort of addiction? Are you a serial head-patter now?

You push the thought to the back of your mind, knitting your fingers together to keep your hands out of her hair while she thanks you.

"-I am not sure what I would have done without her. It's not... I can't imagine it. I don't want to."
You nod, as she finishes, her head down.
"I understand, yes? I do not wish to think of what I would do without my family. But she is safe, yes? And we are here. You can count on us."

She smiles beatifically up at you, her hair mussed beneath your hand-

When did you even- This is ridiculous. Her hair is really soft, though. And the way her antennae flick as you rub near them-

You pull your hand back and cough, awkwardly.

"Ah, yes. Hm. What have you been up to, then?"
Her smile doesn't fade as she flicks her wings once, deftly folding them as she lands before you.
"Mama has kept us close to home. The boys tried to sneak out at night again, and our father had to convince her not to tie them to the house."
Sheszka giggles a bit, smiling as she looks around at the village.

"And what about you, hm? Already grown, a wolf at your side. What have you been doing?"
"Traveling, fighting, hunting. There was a problem at the ruins, the other night. And I visited the human town on the river, yes."
You glance over at your companion, gesturing between them.
"This is Sheszka, by the way. Sheszka, this is Nin."

>>35198911
Both girls nod solemnly to each other before Nin speaks up again.
"How did you meet then? And why is she following you?"
"Ah- I crossed the river, yes? Just to look around. And she tried to jump me, so I punched her. And knocked her out. And tied her to a tree."

The moth starts to snicker as you scratch your neck. It's a bit of an odd story. Sheszka chimes in, breaking the silence with her own declaration.
"Alpha, now."
Nin watches her carefully, taking in her clothes, her relaxed stance.
"You're her pack, then? Planning on being queen?"

>"I- what?"
>"No."
>"Would you explain that?"
>Other (?)

>>35198865
I don't think any of these evolutions are particularly inclinated towards magic

I think grave will get harder natural armour, while wolf will get much higher speed. Orb gets webbing.

Speed trumps armour, plus fluffiness. Makes it a no-brainer for me.

"Though, from what my mother told me about the old civilization, and that Seranthis still lives, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing for it to come back?"

>>35198929
I still think Orb is the magic focused one, if any are. I can't think of anything special we did weith weaving that would let us meet conditions for a evolution that is better at weaving.

Monstergirls with headthings must be petted. This is part of the rules of nature.

>>35198973
we trapped a giant bear made of shade in a web and then killed it when it was severly disadvantaged.
we also used up our web trying to set traps for the non sapient wolf pack fight. which failed, but we still pushed ourselves on silk production there.
and we used our silk during the fight with the croc

>>35199144
try petting a human sometime, or getting someone to pet your head. both feel really good.

>>35199155
>the fight with the croc

That was a spectacular success, that thing was HUGE!

>>35199155
Exactly. We occasionally use web
We ALWAYS hit stuff and use our strength.
So while we shouldn't get rid of our web or stop using it, we should focus on our strengths and stop trying to be the best at everything

Okay, confusion, a request for information.
Writing!

>>35199155
None of which is all that special, all things considered its just using our webs what they are there for. None of those webs were particularily innovative. It was just basic Spider fighting technique.

To me, Grave is just the most varied, as it seems more like the HEAVY ASSAULT BUT ALSO POISON one.

Like, Poison mixing, Paralytics, shit to coat our claws and ALL DEM SPIKY BITS with to ensure NO-ONE fucks with any bit of us.

Also the Spikes can double as a Perch for Jin / Handlebars for everyone else.

>>35198911
>Is this some sort of addiction? Are you a serial head-patter now?
Lyra is now in the same support group as Chiaka Matsuda and everyone who has encountered Yukari.

>>35199210
>Exactly. We occasionally use web
>We ALWAYS hit stuff and use our strength.
Almost every battle that earns XP involves us using web

>So while we shouldn't get rid of our web or stop using it, we should focus on our strengths and stop trying to be the best at everything
that has nothing to do with the argument you are replying to. We are discussing whether Orb spider evolution is a +magic or a +web evolution.
I was replying to a person who claimed we haven't used our web for anything that should go towards an evolution.

Also, I would like to mention that those 3 upgrades are not upgrades we unlocked, but upgrades whose requirements we PARTIALLY satisfied.
I am betting luring the giant shadow bear into the web thing partially satisfied the requirements for a web trapping specialist spider, the orb spider (which IRL is famous for its web traps). We might never actually fully unlock that upgrade without further use btw.

>>35199241
It doesn't need to be innovative, it needs to be impressive.
Was sarah amazingly innovative with her spells? were we amazingly innovative with our "stab people"? Innovation has nothing to do with it.
The question is thus: "How did you earn your XP" and "which achievements have you unlocked", achievements being stuff that impresses the gods

>>35199331
>To me, Grave is just the most varied, as it seems more like the HEAVY ASSAULT BUT ALSO POISON one.
I agree about that, I believe we have started unlocking grave when we coated our weapon in our poison before battle.

But...but that is just an infinite recursion of head-patting.

EVERYONE IS GETTING HEAD PATS.

>This how Lyra marks her mates

>>35199343
The "trapping a huge thing in your net" might be a condition, but I think what we did with the skeletons, and after the "summoning lava" bit, its very unlikely to me we haven't met a condition for a more magic evolution. And since neither Wolf nor Grave seem magic to me, I would think Orb is the likely candidate for that.
That being said, there is no reason it can't be a bit of both.

>>35199413
who will head pat lyra?

>>35199331
I started the spiderwar this thread, but I'd like to point out that we don't actually know what any of the evolutions do. Maybe orb is actually fuckhuge and durable. Maybe wolf is actually for burst damage and being fluffy but not for being the musclegirl spider. Maybe grave gives us necromancy but makes us fragile as shit.

>>35199432
Mom?

>>35199386
>Innovation has nothing to do with it.
A innovative use IS impressive. Using the webs in ainnovative fashion would be impressive and therefore likely to be a condition, but just using the webs straightforward seems less likely to be a condition for me.

>>35199432

No one, instead Lyra shall have A harem of women slowly waxing / combing out the fur on / bleaching Skullbutt on her shell

>>35199343
>>35199386
I think theres something important that people arent reading here.

REQM said we were at half completion for 3 VARIANTS. Not wolf/grave/orb, but stuff like how we're a ruby widow instead of a regular one.

>>35199436
We do know the Sizes in relation to eachother and normal Arachnes, but beyond that, yeah its speculation by now.

>>35199436
Actual species - Wolf is a roaming spider. Fucks shit up. Female orb weavers wait around in big ass webs. Grave spiders are not a thing.

But we're a "Widow" and windows are stationary spiders so what can be gleamed from the names is minimal.

>>35199461

Being a Sub-varient of a main evolution just means that we evolve along the same path but keep the coloring / perks, like, a normal widow will evolve into something else, we would evolve into the same thing, except Red (unless it has a color change) and keep our Blessing from a God of Protection

>>35199501
>and keep our Blessing from a God of Protection
We keep that anyway, just as a note.

>>35199436
Better yet, we dont even know if we will qualify for any of them as of yet nor what we will need to do to get there.

All in all I wish that he would release a full list of evolutions with spots censored out and whatnot to have us try to guess how to get to the fluffiest/meanest/TUNDAHBREAKAH/shinest spider possible.

>>35199501
Yeah, but it means cool coloration and awesome powers.
I'm putting money on earth spider, weaponsmith spider and and maybe expanding the ruby one to more protection.

>>35199501
Blood wolf. Ruby orb. And the most heavy metal, CRIMSON SKULL!

>>35199428
It is possible that orb is a hybrid of magic and web. For that matter, they could all be hybrid with some magic thrown in.
Or maybe our potential magic evolution is a hidden/rare 4th evolution we haven't gotten informed of yet?
Or who knows.

>>35199478
It's probable that you can at least imply something by the base species: wolf would likely be a mobility type, orb would be a web specialist, and the QM already hinted that the "grave" is some kind of assassin type. All three fit Lyra to some degree.

>>35199457
My understanding of taxidermy says that our waifus will be dusting our skullbutt and brushing its teeth.

>>35199461
I thought that the ruby thing came from having a blessing...
but you have a good point, we evolved into a ruby widow, but the chart with the wolf/grave/orb just says "widow", the ruby is the variant. So we could get a "earth blessed wolfspider" like how sarah got "star blessed widow"

>>35199531
Metal.

>>35199531
If we unlock earth blessed variant like sarah did with star blessed, and we keep our existing ruby-red=protection variant.
That would make us an Earth-Ruby-Wolf Arachne.
I like to imagine that red + earth = lava

I've gotta duck out to pick up my sister, but that shouldn't take long. Post is nearly done, my apologies.

>>35199558
If that's the case, I think wolf would be best

But I suspect grave might be armoured, instead.

>>35199837
I will be going for grave whether it is armoured, assassin or magic thief upgrade. Those are the three playstyles I think we have been doing to most effect anyway, and the ones I most enjoy. But hey, it's your vote. but orb spider a filthy slut

Honestly I don't see us going the magic route, the only time we've used it was as a spellbreaker during the necromancer fight, we've never used the earth spike magic we know

>>35200076
Different anon- But I don't want to become a Mage. We're incredibly unique in our ability to break magic and everyone seems to be shouting BOO LETS JUST BE GANK MAGE NUMBER 99913991345.

Way I see it Lyra is the perfect melee fighter. Normally the hard counter is magic, instead we break it and roll right up to them and stab/curb stomp them with eight legs.

>>35200117
Oh, I agree that she should focus on her melee combat skills, and also her web trapping skills (they've served her well), but it would be remiss to neglect studying up on what exactly her spellbreaking powers are capable of. It's a fantastic ace-in-the-hole.

>>35200110
I agree. I can see us using earth magic to do structural stuff in dungeons (open paths, detect secret doors, collapse ceiling) and do spellbreaking against enemy wizards.
For combat we should stick to martial skill, superhuman power/agility/durability, and magical weapons

>>35200117
>>35200110
I'm not keen on the earth magic, but the spellbreaking and controlling is something I think we should keep training in, its extremly useful to have as otherwise melee-fighter.

>>35200164
Yeah I'm Melee focus>Magicbreaking>Webtraps

>>35200117
All of my yes! I love it when protagonists get niche powers like spellbreaking we could go generic earth mage but why would we when we can be a fighter that makes mages cry in frustration?

My ideal lyra would be one that stays the current course. Being a melee powerhouse with utility web traps who don't afraid of no mage.

Reminder that giantest spider Lyra is best Lyra.

>>35200394

Yes, but stuff on the back also detracts from the HUEG itself, it'll just cause attention to be shifted on the "hood ornament" for lack of a better term.

To be HUEG, one must be HUEG in and of itself. That is the duty of those destined to HUEG.

But I'll toss my hat in with you guys if it means not having to deal with fluffy spider. Spiders shouldn't be fluffy, you have dogs and cats and other things for fluffy.

>>35200401
Yeah, definitely more fun to be able to enter dungeons and what have you.

Really, I'm just in it for the novelty of being a giant spider. So what better could it be to be the giantest spider? That'd be neat. And if Lyra ever has kids, a really funny story.

I will launch a Crusade against you.

No, no losing most Spiderness, if we get too HUEG we hard-lean Speed.

>>35200707
That guy is right though. Most spiders have fangs too small or weak to pierce your skin, even if they do have poison

>>35200717
>which is large but not HUEG
Well that depends on what you consider HUEG, mom is already too big to fit into some doors, and we will become at least that large.

nobody is THAT straight
heck, without the fake hair she looks even girlier!

You pause a moment, blinking carefully as the two girls watch you. Your mouth opens as you begin to form words, confusion knotting your brows, and you raise one hand, half curled, a single finger standing for a moments respite.
"I- Wait. Wait. What? I don't- Explain. Please explain that."

Nin's smile grows as your broken sentences flow into the air, puffing up her chest with importance again as she launches into a history lesson.
"The packs have always fought, right?"
She glances as your wolfgirl, who nods her confirmation.
"Even when the city stood. There was one wolf leader, but the rest wouldn't follow him, so the other strong monsters would go and beat the alphas, and claim the packs for their own."

She's pacing as she lectures you, kicking her heels up with every step, spinning on the spot, back and forth.
"And the Arachne queen was one of them, of course. She claimed her own pack, and they served her till the city fell. And then they crossed the river."
Sheszka nods along grimly, filling in where Nin stops.

"That was our pack. Alpha had an old spider-"
She gestures before her, hands framing a long shirt as she frowns at her lack of words.
"Like a.... tabard? A long, loose sort of shirt?"
"Mhm. With a spider. Alpha would talk about how strong they were."

Nin is skipping around the two of you excitedly.
"The Queen's own pack! Haha!"
You try waving her down, but she's having none of it.
"Nin, I am not going to-"
"Long live the Queen!"
"I am not- I am not the queen, yes?"
"Not yet!"

You hold out both your hands, calling the moth to a halt.
"Nin, how long will it be till your parents are home?"
"Fear not, your majesty! They shall return with the turning of the hour!"
You groan. Sheszka mostly looks confused.

>"How about you show us the village, yes?"
>"Are any of your siblings around?"
>"SO what can moths do, anyway?"
>Other (?)

>>35200886
We can't really avoid it as such. We don't really know what evolutions are "huge" beforehand, and even if we did, there is not much point taking a evolution just because its small.
I'd heavily assume that all melee evolutions will be pretty large.

>>35200912
>>"How about you show us the village, yes?"
>>"Are any of your siblings around?"
>>"SO what can moths do, anyway?"
Yes.

>"How about you show us the village, yes?"

>>35200912

ALL THE THINGS!

We can ask about her siblings and Moths in general as she shows us around.

>>35200920
... You know, I'm willing to bet that most arachne sizes are based on age rather than evolutions, anyways (though evolutions play a small role). We should ask Mom how huge grandma was.

>>35200912
>"How about you show us the village, yes?"
considering how far local civilization has fallen, becoming a queen might be a good thing. Rebuild the city, restore civilization, yes?

>>35200912
>>"How about you show us the village, yes?"

>>35200912
>>"How about you show us the village, yes?"
Lyra is the queeniest

>>35200964
>This is the reason the Queen never had any children
who said she didn't?

>>35200912
>Spider Queen Lyra
Yes, this is a thing that we must do. I support this whole-heartedly.

>>35200984
We did become noticeably larger when we evolved, but its hard to tell how evolution and physical maturing work together in this setting.
Most arachne don't evolve much anyway, so its doubly hard to tell with them.

>>35200985
I've wanted to set that as a long term goal ever since we learned about the old Monster Civ.

We are but a shadow of what we once were. I'd like to bring some of it back.

>>35201018
We're still somewhat smaller than our mother, so it could play a role. Recall that our grandmother was around 110 when she died of violence.

We're keeping this one as well. She knows Lyra is royalty.

>"How about you show us the village, yes?"

>>35201035
As I said, we still grow larger with normal aging, which is why we can't avoid growing some more one way or the other.

>>35201040
She also appreciates head rubs. Now we need to find out if she's a ninja alchemist assassin or something.

>>35201035
>>35201054


Mom is 30.

We aren't even a month old, and we are nearly as big as her.

>>35201054
That's fine, I'm just wondering if the HUEG thing will take centuries, rather than months or evolution.

>>35201038
Neato

>>35201071
Yes, that is exactly what we were saying all the time. We will still grow larger one way or the other...

>>35201038
>Here. The first few posts are fucked sideways with formatting, but it gets better.
I'm glad it did actually, I was thinking about dropping this quest way back in the beginning if it didn't get better

But it did so it's okay now

>>35201071
We don't really know when Arachne stop growing, if they mature so fast they enter puberty after 1-2 months, its possible they are fully grown in half a year.

>>35201100
The early issues were all due to the program I use fucking with text wrapping. I sorted it out fast, because fuck that.

>re-monster today
FUCK I totally forgot

>>35201112
Delicious spiderletfag tears when we enter puberty and wake up half again as big as mom

Every question possible, then?
Okay.

>>35201071
Mom might have been nearly her current size when she left the nest though, so we really have no idea if they keep getting bigger after that.

i think the legendary spider we met is an exception, wasn't he an actual Spider instead of an Arachne? He also could have hit some extremely rare evolution because of how crazy old he is.

i fully expect us to be ever so slightly larger than Mom, but not by any significant amount.

>>35200912
>SO what can moths do, anyway?"

Good question.

>>35201112
we were told that it varies a bit but we have about a month to go and will grow up to mom sized with current evolution. Also, we are only slightly smaller than her with current evolution.

>>35201216
>He also could have hit some extremely rare evolution because of how crazy old he is.
or just had a fuckton of evolutions. one after another. each evolution changes you physically and also increases your max age

>>35201224
I think we're ever so slightly shorter, just all gangly and shit. Still waiting for that spider puberty, time to fill out

>>35201224
Its very much possible we would only grow as large as her with our current evolution, its hard to tell since its a variant. But if we continue getting melee evolutions, we will most likely end up even bigger than her pretty soon.

Have to sleep now, keep up the good work!

Allright, well, it looks like I didn't miss much then. I'm glad you guys chose the NOTTAQUEEN option.

Because I don't want to be queen, that's chump work.

>people talking about how we're big
Hey.
You know how that elf known as our dad is freakishly tall?

I think we might be what happens when you give a normal arachne elven tallness genes.

Do we also have pointed ears?

>>35201285

We have pointed ears, but we didn't seem to be unusually large for Arachne standards, I think mom would have commented on that if we grew faster than normal.

We are totally going to be queen. that is our long term goal
mid term goal is to be the best adventurer in the world.

That's a chump goal. For chumps.

>>35201378

>>35201308
I have to admit, I liked how the dad issue was handled. Like, Lyra still hasn't referred to his as dad, just erics or father.

>>35201386
>giving up fun adventuring life for piles of queenly responsibilities

>>35201356
>>35201386
Before becoming Queen we still need to travel the world, can't be Queen without a lot of evolutions.

>>35201407

We Delegate.

>>35201400
Airship, extreme travel, and making our local township area into a bustling metropolis.

At most, I want like, mayor's advisor tier responsibilities.

I much prefer helping folk with grand adventure than queenly duties.

>>35201415
which is why I explicitly said "long term goal" with "mid term goal is to be the best adventurer in the world"
you don't become the best adventurer in the world without many many years of adventures, and many evolutions... and basically being the strongest most badass person ever.

>>35201390
>No! Unhand me! I am a giant spider!

>>35201419
So why be queen in the first place, then, if you want it specifically to have someone else do the job?

>>35201445

So we have ~Authority~ backing us when we punch idiots.

>>35201455
We already have authority.
Giant spider authority.

>"We know your majesty. You're the Spider Queen. Now please, can we start the council meeting?"

If everyone we've ever saved/helped literally lifted us and carried us to a queen zone and didn't let us not be queen.

>>35201493
Alternatively, everyone tries to make Lyra queen only to not find her ecause she took her harem to go fishing a la Hero McDohl.

>>35201487
we would be too STRONG to drag... unless they convince our harem to do it for them (since we wouldn't be able to seriously resist to avoid accidentally harming them).
Our harem would too, already we have a bunch of them calling us the future queen

Shiny and smooth spider-butt is the best form of spider-butt. There is so many fluffy monster out there, but no one can do shiny and smooth as good as a Arachne, gotta play to our unique strengths.

>>35202297

Soo...

Fluffy Knee-socks?

>>35202297
Shiny smooth is a best for arachne.

>>35202326
>>35202318
>>35202297

And thus the Kingdom of Anon split in twain and reunited in the span of a few seconds of arguing about Spiderbutt.

And there was much rejoicing.

You're beginning to get the feeling that Nin is the kind of person who doesn't stop once she gets going. You glance desperately around. Something, anything- Got it!

Your hands crack sharply together as you clap, snapping everyone's attention straight to you.

Thanks, Mom.

"SO! Nin, just what is it the moths can do? Mom told me about dust, just, nothing specific, yes?"
She bows deeply, one arm across her waist and the other extended while Sheszka giggles.
"Milady, please allow this humble moth to inform you!"

No, concealing your face with both hands isn't stop the blush.

Nin continues unabated.
"-With our majestic and beautiful wings, we can float through the air- But it is, of course, our ability to produce the finest of powders, that draws attention from all comers."
"Nnnnnnnngh."
"Though I myself am but a young moth, I can make a dust to calm, a dust to sleep, and a dust to slow- The adults can make ones that stop, or weaken, ones that kill or heal."
She frowns, her grandiose display interupted as she wrinkles her nose at a thought.

"There's a few they haven't told me about, though. Mama always says 'later, later' whenever I ask. But later never comes."
You've got a sneaking suspicion you know what the powder is for.
"Later is when you're an adult, I think."
"That's dumb."
"Mmm. Are your siblings around? Or maybe you could show us the village, yes?"

Her smile returns, just as wicked as before.
"Of course, my sovereign. An escort of but a single moth is an insult, unworthy of your spider-y greatness. We shall fetch an entourage!"
She turns, heading further into the village, wings lifting her with each skip as she moves. You keep pace easily behind her, though you refuse to meet the eyes of any watchers.

>>35202318
>>35202326
We should just be shiny ourselves, and then develop fluffy clothing.

>>35202353
She pulls to a halt beneath a tree with a trio of silk bubbles around it, whistling sharply- And little moth heads poke out of every available hole, staring down at the three of you below.

In short order, they've assembled- Literally assembled, as Nin is now acting sergeant, organizing them around you in an agonizing honor guard, which she leads beside the proud Sheszka. Her siblings all chatter as you travel, raising their tiny voices to chatter over each other.

"When did you get so big, anyway?" "And red!" "Really red." "You were black before."
"I grew about a day or so after the ruins, when I-"
"And here is the towns fountain- We use this piece for drinking, and the deeper section for bathing-"
"Mama says we won't grow for a while." "Grandpa was really big." "His wings were neat." "He smelled funny."
"This is where the village chief lives, milady. Would that I could invite you in, but your majesty would tear his meager home asunder-"
"Your armour is really nice." "I like your weapon!" "Can I hold it? Just for a minute, I promise I'll give it back!" "Its too big, you'd just fall down."

Your escort dissolves into a shouting match, two of the brothers looking on while the other pair tries their best you shut down the other-
You pull it to a gentle close by handing them your glave, dropping each to the ground in turn beneath its weight. Nin launches into another absurd explanation that you narrowly manage to blank out before Rie points overhead.
"Mama and Papa are home."

The problem is none of the currently available evolutions do that.

Writing.

>>35202643
None of the evolutions mention levels of fluffy vs shiny at all.

This is all just speculation / wishful thinking.

I doubt the level of detail on his doodles will be the deciding factor. Our evolutions will look how REQM wants them to look.

How much he's willing to make small cosmetic changes to suit what we want is in the air.

I'm still hoping for the Wolfspider so fluffy would be garenteed in that case, but a lot of people want to keep the shiny too.

Fluffy legs shiny spider bum

>Our evolutions will look how REQM wants them to look.
Since he made them, that pretty clearly shows how he intends them to look like.

>>35202800
I just want to give fluffy hugs.

>>35202683
Please merciful REQM let this succeed I don't think poor Lyra can take anymore embarrassment

>>35202851
yes she can

>>35202851
>let this succeed
It won't

>>35202851
she will take MUCH MORE embarrassment.

Grave spider, with the second joint ( the one at the top) having a ring of fur. Also, a ring of fur around the end of each chitin glove, which have now reached mid bicep. rings of fur at wrists debatable.

Ara Ara~ delicious

Lyra is not resistant to emotional type damage.
Also I agree with the 12 seconds older moth about how older sisterdom works.

>>35202988
"Older sisterdom" makes me think naughty thoughts.

Moth.

>>35203255
hopefully not many.
We level super fast as it is.

>>35203451

But our EXP gain is capped, so it is to be expected that we level superhard and supahfast.

>>35203470
too fast!
Besides, that croc was probably too weak to give us proppa XP.

>>35203498

The shadowbear was weaker and it combined with more of mom's training bumped us up 15-20 levels.

>>35203544

Wait no, I'm thinking of Sheszka.

>>35203544
the shadowbear put up a WAY better fight.

>>35203635

but our strategy with the croc was superb...

>>35203635

Yeah, but we pulled off some REAL impressive shit with Turtlegator.

You watch as the parents circle, their loops closing as they near the ground. Your mouth dries, your spine tingles.

You've got one chance. One last shot.

You step forward- Nin's eyes follow, her grin growing wider. The children try to step in time, but your stride is in another dimension. The wind catches your hair, ponytail trailing behind you as you make a mad dash for the moth's parents.

Nin has taken to the air- but she's no Jin, wings straining to keep up with your speed. Sheszka is trotting along beside you effortlessly, a confused but happy smile writ across her face.

The adult moths stare as you bear down on them, a red juggernaut hurtling straight towards them. Nin is trying to shout something, her voice lost to the wind as you grind to a halt before them-

"HELLOYES MYNAMEISLYRA IMNIA'SDAUGHTER HI"

Nin- followed quite closely by her siblings- collides with your back at your sudden stop, as a half dozen soft thumps emanate from your spider half, a family of moth children sent sprawling across the packed earth.

"-the quuuueeeeeeeen....." Nin croaks out as her voice trails away.

>>35203673

The two moths look at each other as you pant, hands resting against your spider limbs, eyebrows arched delicately. Eventually, the husband pipes up.
"You are... Nia's daughter?"
"Yes. Lyra."
His wife smiles earnestly at you, taking your hand in hers.
"You were the one that rescued Rie. What brings you to he village, little one?"
She laughs at that.
"However inappropriate that may now be."

You pull your bags free while the moth pile behind you begins to seperate, The little ones pulling themselves free.
"Mom- Mom ran out of dust, yes? She sent me with silk."
She takes each jar in turn, opening them and sniffing, antennae wriggling.
"Ah. Healing dust, and-"
Her face turns a little red as she seals the seconds jar.
"And your father is home now, I see."

You pick a point somewhere behind her, staring pointedly and not thinking about anything.
"Yes."
"Mhm. I will go and fetch these for you, then. You can give Kri the silk."
She flutters off, and you hand her husband the silk in a daze, Nin walking dizzily past our legs, declaring the village a fundamental piece of Lyraville. Her father raises an eyebrow before heading into the canopy, stashing the silk in their home.

She returns a short while after, still wearing the same blush, and turns over the now full jars to you. Securing them in your bags takes only a moment- And you ready yourself for the trip home, exchanging thanks with the family. Nin lines her siblings before you, executing a picture perfect salute, and you return a wave goodbye.

The forest opens up before you, and you spend a moment squinting in the sunlight after spending too long in the moth's twilight.

Now that you thnk about it, that really wasn't any better of an introduction.
Your cheeks burn.

>Race home- Hand off the jars. Make plans. Dungeon plans.
>Hunt lightly as you go- Nothing big enough to smash the jars, just a few snacks.
>Just head home, chatting with Sheszka. (topics?)
>Other (?)
