DISTURBING! Spiders Shouldn't Be That Big!

[dragonspooker]

Characters: Lina and Spidermom in one thread, otherwise totally open.
Setting: Random hall on the 18th.
Format: Prose to start, will follow if you prefer action.
Summary: Lina's just wandering around and grousing, and will encounter Vriska's lusus on the loose. However, I'm also open to other threads happening here before or after her run-in with Spidermom.
Warnings: BIG-ASS SPIDER.

Before Spidermom:

This tower was nothing but stress.

The labyrinth. The punishment for dying there. Recovering from that. Sayaka turning into a monster. Confronting Sayaka over that. And on top of all that, the only thing to eat was more of those lousy food bars. Eugh. Lina's out for a walk to try and work some of this stress off - she'd go cut loose with magic, but doesn't wanna risk accidentally setting off the people here to cut her off yet again. That, and while the nutrition bars do their job, for someone like Lina, it's just not enough. And eating enough of those things to quell her hunger appropriately just does not sound appealing in the least.

A sound catches her attention down the hall. Sounds like she's coming up on somebody. Or something...

After Spidermom:
Hey, you there, person. Hopefully you're watching where you're going, because there is a short redheaded girl running full-tilt toward you with a rather panicked look on her face.

"GET OUTTA THE WAY!"

The spider skitters back, putting Filia in front of her. She sinks low to the floor to cushion her burn and curls her pedipalp in on herself. It slides against her chelicera, producing a sort of hissing sound, which sounds more like a screech coming from such a large creature. There's a moment or two where the spider merely sits there, staring at them. And then she's rising back on her legs and lunging forward again, enraged by the damage.

Crap, this didn't quite work out as planned.

Not that there was much of a plan, but...

"I dunno who you are, but, uh... Run the other way, I guess - I've got its attention! I'll lead it off and try to case it in ice or something!" With that, Lina flings another fireball and takes off the way Filia came from.

Po-h! Yes, she is indeed electrified -- her frazzled hair and charred appearance are testaments to this. Filia waves Lina off, responding more to the sound of her voice than her actual words, before tottering off in the opposite direction.

She is easy game for the beast now.

[ ooc: spidermom can catch her! or she can wobble away by sheer dumb luck if you'd rather that. i'm a-ok with either. ]

THIS IS SUPER LATE SORRY ):

The spider would have gone for Filia if not for the fireball to her face that dazes her and has her skittering back several feet away from them both. Once she recovers she changes her attention and charges after Lina. The attacks only seem to enrage her more than doing damage.

No worries!

Okay, this is getting her nowhere.

Time to retreat and rethink things, but she needs something to hold the beast off. Maybe a wall of ice...

"FREEZE BULLET!" Pale blue light erupts from her palm, striking the floor between the spider and herself, and begins expanding at high speed, filling the hallway with an icy block.
