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!"

In truth he had meant it as a joke, but the fact that she's not shrugging it off gives him pause for a moment. Well... she is cute. Dating has been the furthest thing from his mind, but there may have been a hint of truth in that statement. Maybe. He's not sure.

"Y-you heard me! Because of this I'm not asking you out, cute redhead or not!"

We're sorry, the Lina Inverse you are trying to reach is not available right now, because she is too gobsmacked to properly formulate a response.

Which is for the best, or she'd probably explode Yosuke again.

Now that she's not saying he's mentally panicking because he's not sure how much of that he meant and how much was a joke. He can feel his face burning and he turns his head about trying to find an exit because this is getting awkward and he's ready to bail and take some time to calm down.

"Anyway, I uh.. should be going I guess, thanks for saving me from the uh... thing... SPIDER! Right, spider... the spider and all..."

Lina nods kinda absently, and after a moment, actually finds words. "Uh...yeah, sure. No problem..." She's still kinda dumbfounded, though.

"I'll, uh... I'll see you later, Lina."

And with that bit of smoothness, Yosuke bails as best he can, trying to figure out just what the heck is going on inside that head of his.
