04- The magical dress of webs

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Is wearing a dress, a very clingy dress... Completely made of webs and the shade of dried blood in some parts... Juni does not look all that pleased by the dress, its clinginess or the bloody bits]

A reward for your loyal service... Yeah, sure, brilliant.

[Raises voice]

Hello? Would anybody mind getting a girl a blanket or something?

[Looks down at the dress again and makes a face]

Perhaps something just a tiny bit more modest...

[BLINK BLINK BLINK] Nee nee nee! Your skin is weird, gero!

[the Brigadier feels like being the White Knight today and, at your request, gets you a blanket or something]

Will this work?

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

[GASP] What happened?? [Instantly takes off his cape and offers it to her]

[contract_star]

[Spots her and ducks out, returning with a blanket. He hands it to her.]

What happened to you?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Grabs blanket and wraps it around herself, sparing a slight smile now that she's more covered up]

It's a reward, I've served loyally for years and this is my… [winces] Prize.

I'm honoured [Feel the sarcasm, FEEL IT!]

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Grabs cape and immediately slings it around her shoulders]

Don't worry, I'm not dying.

It's a present [Slightly bitter smirk]

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you.

[Takes the blanket and wraps it around herself]

It's embarrassing when he decides to give me presents.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Crosses arms over chest and glares]

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it hurt, hm hm hm? Nee nee? [pokes her arm, pokes pokes] Are you injured, hm hm? What happened, gero gero?

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

You don't seem all that happy with it.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I'm not [Draws cape tight around herself]

There are better presents he could've given me.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I'm not injured.

It's a dress, it was supposed to be a gift.

I hate it.

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

[headtilt] Dress? Hm hm? Dress, gero? But dresses aren't like this, or they are? Eeeeh? [leans closer, examining it] No wonder you hate it, it smells funny even, gero! Who gave it? Hm hm hm?

[contract_star]

[Smirks.] And a brilliant prize it is. Were they serious, or do they just have a really odd sense of humor?

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

He sure has funny taste... Wait, who's he?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

My... Employer.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Well... I don't actually know, he might just have a really good poker face.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Crosses arms tighter] No, apparently going and terrifying some tailors into material was too much effort when he could just make it himself.

My employer, a reward for long years of service.

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

Strange... I could find you something better to wear, if you'd like.

[contract_star]

[Can't help chuckling a little.]

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

Eeehh? Someone made it? Hm hm hm? But I thought humans can't catch spiderwebs, and and and work with it like this, eeeeh you're weird, gero gero!

Oh? Oh, so you got it as a thank you gift, huh huh?? That means you worked hard, no no, gero?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

He... Isn't exactly human.

Yes... I work harder then anybody else there, it's not all that hard.

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

[FROWNS] He is not? Oh ohoh, then what is he? Hm hm hm? A frog? Tell me he is a frog, gero gero! Or-- or a bird, gero?

Then you should be happy, gero! But you are not happy, because it's ugly and smells, right right? Then ask for something else, gero!

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

He's a spider, a giant spider.

Some of his friends are giant mutant frogs and birds though!

Yep, and I can't ask for anything else... Unless this is a really good practical joke...

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

... [almost drools because he is eating spiders for dinner......] A g-giant one, gero?

But but but how can he be friends with frogs and birds gero gero? Huh huh? Birds and frogs are friends in your world? Hm hm? Because in my word, birds are hunting us, gero! [nods nods nods]

You can't? Hm? But why why, you worked hard gero!

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Well they aren't really frogs or birds, they just look a lot like very mutated versions of them [evil smirk]

Yes... But... It could hurt quite a bit.

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

[shriek] They are monsters, gero?! Are you living with monsters?! Huh huh??

Hurt? Hm? Why would it hurt, gero?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Eye roll] Yes, I suppose I am... It's like a drugged version of "The Wind in the Willows" really [Cheerful grin]

Because being ripped apart usually does...

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

... Huuuuuh? [blinks, tiling his head]

....................... [FREEZES] W-why would he do that, gero!?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

You've never read it?

[Evil grin continues] He has a fondness for ripping people apart, I'm not the one to question his policies.

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

Naaaah I can't read gero!

[GASP] Eeeehhh, but that's an evil thing-- it must be a very dangerous spider...! Why don't you leave him gero?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

Really?

One of the most dangerous around... I promised to serve him, at least I chose to join him [Scowl]

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I... Think it's probably best if I stay in this.

Even if it was a joke I think... Wait, does it work like that here?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Glares]

[Sourly] everybody has a twisted sense of humour.

[contract_star]

You're probably right. Sorry.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

So you should be [scowl]

...Thanks for the blanket by the way.

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

That's human stuff, gero! I don't need it.

Eeeeeh? But why? Hm hm? Why?

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

It's one of the better human things.

Because [scowl]

[contract_star]

[Smiles a bit sheepishly.] You're welcome.

[Grunts and looks down]
