Quetzalcoatl seems more like it'd be a legendary Lamia evolution.

We must feed. Seriously, we burnt a lot of magic yesterday. We should fill up before going for a repeat.

Fund it.

In terms of Nin, she'll be the moonlight moth.

So, the plan is food then houses?

You are pleased to find that the guild's attention to detail extends to towels.

Which is good, because you didn't bring one.
You probably could have woven your own, but that takes time. And effort.
You don't put forth effort when you're relaxing. You put forth effort before you relax, so you can relax better.

That's how it works.

Sheszka shakes herself somewhat dry, drenching Nin again. And anyone else nearby.
There's a second round of drying while the wolf sits and waits for you.

And then it's upstairs, following your nose to lands unknown!

It isn't actually unknown. It's meat. You're going to eat it now.

You move a bench aside, taking a seat at an empty table. Orders are placed.
Nin discovers they have some sort of plant things for her to eat. She seems very pleased.
You ask for all the meat in the kitchen. The server refuses, and you grudgingly change your order to 'an entire animal'.

The room fills as you await your meal- Adventurers waking up and looking for breakfast, or just free from training. People still red from the heat of the bath, or just stepping in to get some food before they head out for a day of work.

Even Lann stumbles her way down the stairs, seating herself opposite you- and starting a rush to fill out the rest of your table with adventurers.
Their requests for stories fade out as your meal is delivered- a pig you can nearly hide behind.
And the silence remains as you demolish it, moving section to section and leaving nothing but bones.
Which Sheszka happily steals.

You eaten away enough of the breakfast sacrifice to see Lann again when she speaks up, a spoon hovering in her hand between a bowl of something approaching oatmeal and her face, concealed behind a mess of hair.
"Why do I feel like the reason so many people are in here is your fault?"

So.
I feel sad we're never going to run into a family line of monster/vampire hunters.

I feel like it would be a fun teamup arc to work with a belmont/jojo/helsing for a while, but things just don't seem spookytown enough to justify it.

>>38270517
Meh. For a Halloween special maybe but it's far too noblebright of a setting for that.

>>38270575
Yeah, exactly.
It's too chipper to be finding some haunted ass vampire castle on the hill, or a darkest dungeon manor over a wrecked out town.

>>38270586
Honestly I'd think it'd be hilarious to have Lyra stumble into someone else's grimdark adventure

That family of Vampire hunters always so somber hating every moment they spend with this goddamn airheaded spider godfuckingdamnit

>>38270636
Well, genre contamination is always good fun for an episode or two.

>>38270586
>>38270575

There's always the Scooby-Doo way of doing "horror" without all the grim parts

>>38270694
I do like the ol' scooby doo technique.
Though, vampires are totally a real thing in-universe.

You swallow your current chunk of food, licking your lips clean with a smile.
"Well, as you know-"
"Gods."
"-I am a very popular spider, yes?"
"Gods, no."

"That is not very nice."
"It is too early in the morning for this."
"I think it is almost noon."
"I just said that."
You roll your eyes, carving another hunk of meat free from the bones.

"Anyway, it is not really my fault, yes."
"See- Your mouth is moving. And words are coming out. But they feel completely devoid of meaning. Truth itself has abandoned our speech. There is nothing there."
"That was very eloquent. And slightly hurtful."
"Cry some giant spider tears, then."
"No thank you. It makes a mess of my face."

"Lyra."
"Yes?"
"Why is there so many people in the guild, Lyra."
"Well."
"Well, what?"

"Edmund- That is the officer, yes?"
"I know my officer's name."
"I didn't."
She sighs.

"Theresa had an idea."
"What? You were just talking about Ed- Where does the demon merchant come in?"
"Is that a thing? Do people really call her that?"
"Not anywhere she can hear. We still need to do business with her."
"Hmm. So! Theresa had an idea."

>>38270984
"Alright."
"And she went to Edmund with it."
"And bullied him into it."
"No, no. He agreed on his own, yes? It would make the guild money."
"Should've said at the start this was a fairy tale, then. Alright. So Theresa gave the guild an idea to make money."
"Yes."

"And where do you get involved, then?"
"Why do you think I was involved?"
"You're always involved. If there was a dragon attacking the town, right now, I would be looking for you. To find out why."
You gesture helplessness, innocence.

There's laughter around you, but you don't think anyone bought it.
"I may have been involved."
"May."
"I might have put the plan into action. Mostly by myself."
"What did you do, Lyra."
"I built a bath."

She leans back, blinking.
"What?"
"I built the guild a bath, yes."
"How is that a money making scheme? And why did they need you?"
"Well, the bath warms itself. And is large enough for most of the town, probably."
"Ah."
"Yes."
"Well, I am willing to forgive you, I suppose."

"You were the one suspicious of me, yes."
"And I'm willing to forgive you. If you tell me where the bath is."
"I will dunk you in the bath, elf half first, yes."

>Leave Lann to her bathing and go see Elle.

The dunking will have to wait however, I have to go make a house. Edge of town or some junk, I remember well enough.

Well, either that or next to the harpies.
Or next door to the centaur

More elf pls.

>>38271006

Why does everyone we know always assume we're up to something? We're just a sassy hyperactive helpful spider.

>>Leave Lann to her bathing and go see Elle.
Yes. Dunk the elven half.

>>38271006
>Demand recompense for your wounded feelings. Does Lann think so low of you?
Troll more. Troll harder.

>Double check with Edmund about those spaces for the house. It was the edge of town, right?
We really should make sure we're building the house in the right place. Could cause problems.

>>38271045
>Or next door to the centaur

That's fairly evil. I love it!

>>38271006

Which half is the elven half?

>>38271006

>>38271172
Eh, I suppose we should technically check in with him. It would be wise.

But I wanna buiiiild

>>38271006

Ask Edmund if he needs anything else. We can probably throw in a medium guard/watch tower if the guild needs one.

>>38271006
>Demand recompense for your wounded feelings. Does Lann think so low of you?

Mocking the Elf on your way out!
Writing!

>>38271241
And the venomous fangs.

>>38271519
But she said she didn't have them!

Does that mean that her elf half is her lower half and the ears are somehow on her upper half?

Is she wearing earcaps to make people think she's upper-half-elf and thus has venomous fangs for intimidation?

>>38271591
>>38271519
Well, we HAVE been calling her elfbutt.

Also fuck you captcha, this message wasn't worth like five minutes of dicking around.

>>38271591
>But she said she didn't have them!

That's just what she WANTS us to think.

Elves are tricky like that.

>>38271657
Yeah, if she didn't have the fangs, she wouldn't be able to detect the lewd so easily.

Maybe her back half is the elf half. So her face and toes are human, but her ears and heels are elvish?

>>38271710
This must be it!

Extra bonus with innocently mentioning that her butt is definitely elf and not human for maximum implications of lewdity.

>>38271710
That could be right. She can't fly, which is a human thing, and wings normally attach at the back. So the back must be the Elf half.

You start to stand, clicking your tongue gently in disappointment.
"Lann, I think this has gone far enough, yes? Your jealousy is unsightly."
"My what- I'm not jealous of-"

You reach easily over the table, muffling your friend's complaints with one finger.
"I understand, yes? You didn't get elf fangs or elf poison, and you try to hide it with things like this. It is okay, Lann. Noone will hold your shortcomings against you."
The muddled angry elf noises acquire an upturn in volume, and you pull her from her seat and into a hug.

"Maybe it is just an elf thing, yes? They live longer. Your fangs might still grow in!"
You pull away, leading your friends towards the door as she shouts after you.
"Lyra!"
"The bath is downstairs, yes!"
"LYRA!"

And you're out the door, giggling your way down the street.

Elle is awake by the time you return to the cabin, chatting amicably with Lia about clothing for people with arm-wings.
She has something of a one track mind.
"Good morning!"
"Lyra, good morning."
"Still busy, dear?"

"Always, yes. Elle can live here, right?"
"The house might be a bit small-"
"Haha. That was a fake laugh."
"Mhm. It's fine. I will vouch for her."

"Then it is house time. Did you think about what you wanted?"
"A nest. And a bath."
"The village is short on giant trees, Elle."
She shrugs.
"And there is a giant bath under the guild now."

"That was rather sudden."
"I am an efficient and hard-working spider."
"I'm sure."

>>38271807
You thank Lia for letting you spend the night, and Elle follows you out into the streets.
"Did you think about where to put it, at least?"
"Inside the town?"
"What did you think about all night, then?"
"Clothes. I did some sewing, too, yes."

You brush your hair out of your face with a sigh.
She's just as bad as you are.
No.
No, she's bad on her own and you aren't bad at all.
Everyone else is wrong, you're perfectly normal.

captcha is giving me intense problems, good luck you guys

>Putting her near Lia will help.

>>38271836
Hold on, didn't we get assigned a space by the guild officer guy?

>>38271836
>>Putting her near Lia will help.

Make a giant stone tree for her to build a nest in. Obviously the stone bark should have spider designs. Or maybe a tree of life like thing with monsters

>>38271836
>Putting her near Lia will help.
>Large tree made out of stone, like the one we made on the river journey, with a wide first floor, so she can tailor clothes for customers there, and a platform on top where we can build a nest

>>38271836
>Putting her near Lia will help.
she is a lazy spider, so sticking her close to someone how can make sure she comes out of the house to actually go to her new job instead of just staying indoors all day might be a good thing.

>>38271836
>Near the water is good.
Why not. The only other thing I'd have would be by the centaur, but that's just evil.

>house suggestions

STONE PILLAR WITH BRANCH LIKE SPIKES.

POSSIBLY THREE OR FOUR OF THEM IN A SQUARE/TRIANGLE TO WEAVE PLATFORMS BETWEEN.

>>38271836
>>Putting her near Lia will help.

>Make house suggestions now.
Something with its own dedicated storage area, maybe in the basement?

We could probably design the ground floor as something that could be easily converted into a shop later, even if we aren't nearby. Then Elle could use the first floor as a workspace, and the second floor as a flat for herself?

>>38271836
A stone tree with a shop downstairs. Some platforms to put her stuff, several 'branches' conveniently placed to hand clothes, silk, and fabrics. Not sure what else yet.

>>38271836
>>Putting her near Lia will help.

GIANT STONE TREE. HARPY AND SPIDER DETAILING.

I'm sure the harpy populace will enjoy having a high place to perch, as well.

>>38271836
>Putting her near Lia will help.
Living near a friend that can help her out and guide her when needed sounds good.

>house suggestions
Should be a 'relatively' normal house. A big part of living in the village is about getting used to all the human stuff that she'd have to deal with in the city.

We can still make it swanky. Three stories, with a nice large terrace. Lots of rooms and a private bath. But an otherwise normal human building. With wall and rooms and all that jazz. She needs to get used to that stuff.

Should also have a shop front ion the ground floor. Some sandbending plus fire should give us a nice shop front window.


FUCK YOU CAPTCHA!

>>38271957
Same poster here.
I like the idea of perches for harpy visitors and a storage area either in a basement under the shop or in the trunk above it. adding those.

Have a weird sort of multilevel house, a stone tree growing from the back so she can weave a nest up top when she wants to.
Is this okay?


And near, lia, but that's set for now.

>>38272134
Sure, fair enough. Big windows and shit.
I wasted a captcha post to confirm this. Who knows if I'll get another.

>>38272134
>Is this okay?
Sounds good.

>>38272145
Captcha seems to be fixing itself.

>>38272134
Yes good.

>>38272134
I'd like for her to have a open platform to sleep on, like in our home nest.

>>38272134
That sounds good.

Must have a shop area on the ground floor. That's the whole reason she's setting up in town.

Fuckin' captcha.

Perhaps we could install a Dumb Waiter system so Elle doesn't have to carry her work down...
Or rather an Industrial Sized Freight Elevator...

Time to build a treehouse! Lets go all out, multiple levels, numerous balconies, guest rooms, oxidized copper guilders leaves, sun deck, everything!

Holy crap captcha.

How do outhouses work for arachne? Further, how does sanitation work in Oakring?

>>38272218

We would have to keep it in mind so we can create a shaft for the system to sit in...
Perhaps Dad could enchant the box to be bigger on the inside so it won't take up as much space...

>>38272227
I've resorted to restarting every time it doesn't load.
>>38272255
this is a good question I'm not sure I want the answer to.
Because in the FOREST, we probably just went out somewhere to dump off some crystals every now and then.

>>38272264
No tardis boxes for you, anon.

>>38272268
What about a hollow tube in the tree that goes to a magma chamber?

>>38272352
That sounds like a hideously bad and dangerous idea.

Elle trails off about some sort of super-tree, and you wind up ignoring her as you walk.
You are here to learn about people and how to live with them, Elle.
Building a giant tree is not conducive to preparing yourself to live in a city.
At all.

Of course, keeping your sister happy and healthy does have it's benefits.
But she can't have a store up a tree.
Agh.

In the end, what sprouts from the grounds near Lia's cabin draws more then it's share of watchers.
A stone tree- Though nowhere near the height your sister seems to want, but that's not going to happen anyway- twists, sitting at an angle away from a multi-level home.
A storefront sort of look to the downstairs, and a few rooms upstairs. For whatever she wants.
A personal bath, some extra branches for local harpies- ANd she can weave her own damn nest, thank you.

There's a door on the rooftop, so she can get up to the tree without having to walk behind her home.
A bit of chatter with the crowd is all it takes to secure the rest of what she'll need- A few carpenters will see to giveing her floors and walls within the stone shell, as well as any furniture she might want.
Elle is busy muttering about lace, so you do negotiations.

You busy yourself with a bit of decorating while your sister head upwards, already laying silk lines between the stone branches.
She'll need a lot more than just that, though.

You keep yourself amused by turning the tree trunk on the inside into part of the bath, sculpting stone with rings like it was wood. Branches marking the ceiling. Carefully cut portals for the windows- they'll need to be installed with wooden frames. Maybe two layers of glass, to keep in the warmth.

All in all, your sister has what essentially amounts to a mansion, especially within the small community.
Spider-ly extravagance.

>>38272848
Well, they did give you permission.
And really, it's only half a mansion. Twenty-five percent. You can't count the tree unless you're arachne yourself.

By the time you've finished the sun is low in the sky, and you're starting to feel the creeping sense of drain from using your power.
Not the smashing headache of moving an underground spring, thank gods, but enough that you are really looking to lie down for a while.
Like, twelve hours sounds good.

Elle is still busy overhead, walking upside down across branches as the grey brown rock vanishes under layers of silk.
It's not really ready to sleep in, just yet. And she'll probably need food before it's done.

"Elle!"
You wince a little at your own voice.
"Yes?"
"You can eat at the inn or the guild, yes. Or you can hunt, if you feel like it."
"You're done?"
"I need sleep. And the rest will be wood and glass- Other people will take care of it."

She clatters down the curved trunk, stopping short in front of you and wrapping you in a tight hug.
Elle tight, not Mom or Aria tight.
"Thank you, yes."
"Mmm. Even if you have dumb ideas about houses."
"Nests are not dumb."
"They are in cities, yes. Make sure you spend time below, and get used to walls. There won't be any giant trees in a city."
"And what if there are?"
"Then they won't let you live in them, silly weaver."
"Hmph."

Nine months from now, there is a baby boom in Oakring.

>>38274256
>over half the guild

Anon, the entire town and possible some visitors will have gone though those baths today. It's going to be more than a few guild members.

On the plus side, healing powder will have got mixed in too. Should help a few people out.

Your sister waves as you leave, tromping back into town towards the guild, followed by a small parade of monsters.
Sometimes, you feel like a conductor.

The guild is even busier now- A steady stream of workers flowing up and down the stairs into the baths.
You take the other set of stairs.
No, not the ones to the training grounds. The third set. Upstairs.
To the upstairs. All stairs go up. And down.

Anyway, you knock on Lann's door.

"Yes?"
"May I come in?"
"I spent the afternoon being comforted about my lack of venom."
"Is that a yes, then?"

Lann opens the door, looking somewhat torn being irritated and more irritated.
"Give me one good reason to let you in. One."
"The bath was good, yes?"
She smiles, just a little.
"Better than your, yeah."

You snort.
"Ridiculous. My bath is an experience, yes? High above the ground, a tree amidst an ancient forest, water cascading gently and flowing. My bath is perfection."
"I'm sure. I liked the spiders, though. Nice touch."
"The tiles are web, too."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"How hard was it to hold that back?"
"I have been smiling about it since yesterday, yes."

"Well, all that's nice, but I don't see a reason to let you in."
"Hmm. You didn't get me drunk this time, so there is an almost ignorable chance of you being crushed."
She mouths the words, following the sentence along.
"I... am entirely certain that you just told me there is a chance I'll be crushed."
"I am a giant spider, yes? It is a constant risk."

She rolls her eyes and pushes the doors open, stepping back into her room with a yawn.
Sheszka echoes it, and crawls onto the bed after her, curling up at the end and starting to snore.

"I'm honestly jealous."
"Fangs aren't all that great. Biting isn't something you want to do against giant monsters anyway."
"No, you- The way everyone falls asleep so easily."
"Oh. Just get tired, yes?"

>>38274357
Nin giggles and Lann throws her a look.
"How old are you supposed to be, anyway?"
She laughs harder.
You give her a shake, mussing her hair.

"Nin is younger than me, yes. And so is Jin, but by less. Esmerelda is a year or so? And Sheszka is- Huh."
"What?"
"I don't know how old Sheszka is."

You prod the lithe wolf till she uncurls, rolling onto her back in a pose entirely reminiscent of much smaller canines.
"Sheszka."
"Mmm."
"How old are you, yes?"
"'Moons. Yes."
"What?"
"Twelve moons."
"A year, then? Just younger than Ezzy."

You scratch behind her ears till her eyes slide closed again, though she doesn't return to her prior sleeping position.
Nin shuts the door behind you, pulling free a few blankets from your shell, and you make yourself comfortable as best you can as the light fades.
"Good night, yes."
"'Night."

___________________________________________________________________________


Somethings is pounding. Noise. Bangbangbang.
Your eyes open groggily, and you push yourself up onto your elbows, your head roving around for the source.

Door. It's the door. You don't have a door?
You live in a nest. In a tree.
No doors.

A dream, then?

You struggle to your feet, shedding monsters and blankets, ignoring their complaints.
Shut up, door.
Thud thud thud-

You pull it open.
"Lann! You need to- GODS-"
No, you're Lyra. Stupid door.
"Uh- uh- uh-"

You let out a little hiss, rubbing at your eyes, pulling your hair out of your face.
"Not Lann. 'M Lyra."
"Uh. Yes. Miss. Is Lann here?"
You stare at the messenger a moment, blinking slowly before you turn around.
Sheszka. Nin. You can feel Ezzy's scales at your throat. Jin is in her cubby. There's Lann. Right in her bed.
Bed.

>>38274381

Room! You're in Lann's room. At the guild. In town.
You wake in leaps and bounds, synapses firing as you recall where you are.
Careful steps over your friends sees you to Lann's side, and you shake the half-elf into some semblance of awareness.
"Wha-"
"Lann. Someone is here, yes? Knocking and scared."
"Of you?"
You consider it a moment.
"Maybe?"
"I'm up, I'm up-"

She swings her legs over the side of her bed, standing all at once and heading for the doorway.
You lift her clear of your friends and plant her right where she needs to be.
"Mmm. Thanks."
"Yes."

She steps into the hall in her pyjamas, and you can hear murmuring, growing louder from beyond the portal.
The door swings back open a great deal faster than it swung shut.
"Lyra. There's a problem."
"A problem?"
"A 'get your armour and spear problem'."

>>38274423
FINALLY a (get your armour and spear problem" AGAIN.
We've been missing those for too long.

Thanks for running.

>>38274423
Well then, now you've gone and got me all excited for the next thread.

>>38274423
Dagnabbit. Now I don't get to know what the problem is.

And who was comforting Lann? Did people overhear us?

>>38274423
Thanks for the thread

>>38274423
Thanks for running.

>>38274423
A cliff hanger?! Damn you, you evil Canadian Spider.

Although..... Whatever problem this is, it'll be expecting a sleepy little village full of humans and harpies.

They (if the problem is a 'they') are going to shit themselves when they get a load of us!

This is going to be hilarious.

>>38274423
what is mom going to think when she sees all the work we've done in town next time she comes through?

>>38274533
Does mom really come through that often?

Also, let's rest our earthbending for a while. Headaches are bullshit.

>>38274423
Crap time for lizards and I've been eating crackers. Guess I'll go write the OP

>>38274451
>>38274455
>>38274482
Thanks for playing!

>>38274454
People were a bit afraid to join your table, but as soon as Lann sat down they rushed to fill out the extra spots.


>>38274533
She'd likely ask Elle why she had you build a tree.

>>38274552
Good luck!
I thought the pet lizard reincarnated as lizard person was pretty entertaining.
Definitely not what I was expecting.

>>38274585
So, did any moth contamination occur in the baths?

>>38274585
Glad you're enjoying it. Feel free to yell at me if I do something stupid senpai.

>>38274552
Can't stay for Lizard Quest, have work in the morning and need sleep.

If it comes up, I vote NOT to mess with the Spiders. Lazy Lizard ain't Suicidally Stupid Lizard.

I'm thinking it'll be a new threat, either monsters or just regular people being idiots.

>>38274603
Nothing noticeable.
Slightly more sensitive skin.

>>38274625
Not much to worry about. The only thing I'd suggest is to give yourself more time for running.

You know I really feel bad for whoever is attacking. Because even if by some twist of fate they beat us, all thats gonna happen is our angry stronger mother is gonna show up

>>38274585

You guys referring to sun lizard quest, yes?

[/spoiler]Oh god I'm starting to talk like a spedderbett[/spoiler]

Hope I did those spoilers right

>>38274401
I really hope its not a hydra, otherwise we are going to have words with those wendigos.

Thanks for running.

Are you referring to RE:lizard quest? Cause that's what they're talking about.

>>38274381
>"Twelve moons."
>"A year, then? Just younger than Ezzy."

Excluding Lann and and Ezzy, Sheszka is older than all the room's occupants combined! Daaang. She's the big sister to EVERYONE, now!

and then I remember she spent her childhood in starvation conditions and am very sad

>>38276214
She had tough times. Wait, ezzy's a year old. Shezka's a year old. Who's year is bigger?

>>38276299
Ezzy's. Shezka is a year, Ezzy is a year and some.
