[There's a boy on the feed crouching down in the desert area (exploring, really, outside near the safe zone), but he quickly presses a finger to his lips-- sshhhhh.]

[A shift in the picture and it focuses on two large spiderthings just up ahead, skittering about on the sand and... is that a piece of bread they're furiously attacking?]


... Huh, I think I may have accidentally found some new pets, after a failed attack. I was kind of thinking Killer and Cupcake, but those don't seem like very "spider"-y names.

It's what's inside that counts. Look into your heart, Agito.

[sixwinged]

They're not cute on the inside, either.

Go step on them or something.

action;

[superbeast]

[Considers this for a moment...]

[No, no, they're too big.]

They might crawl up my leg, you go step on them.

[sixwinged]

Your skin is five times harder to break through than mine! You do it!

action;

[superbeast]

That's a terrible reason. What if I only kept one and let the other go? No stomping involved.

action;

[sixwinged]

You're not keeping any of them.

action;

[superbeast]

Why?

action;

[sixwinged]

I don't want those things roaming around!

action;

[superbeast]

Even... if I trained them to make you lunch?

action;

[sixwinged]

If they touched my food, I'd burn them until there was nothing left but ashes.

action;

[superbeast]

I would train them to also wear gloves. They'd be fancy, well-mannered pets.

action;

[sixwinged]

They're bugs.

action;

[superbeast]

People have exotic pets sometimes, you know. I've heard of people that have porcupines and skunks as pets.

action;

[sixwinged]

You smash them, or I get the beanpole to burn them to death.

Your choice.

action;

[superbeast]

Where's the "we just walk away from them and leave them alone while we find a burger" option?

action;

[sixwinged]

There aren't any burgers here, and I don't want that shit to come back and bite us in the ass.

action; 1/2

[superbeast]

The burger equivalent to whatever food they have around here. Details, details.

action;

[superbeast]

... What if I bury them?

action;

[sixwinged]

As long as they're gone.

action; 1/3

[superbeast]

Fine. We'll see if next time I try to share my new-pet happiness with you.

action;

[superbeast]

[But, he's going to them!]

[Better than having to smash some giant spider things, blegh.]

[Hmmm, how to go about burying them...]

action; 3/4 i lied

[superbeast]

[... tentatively kicks some sand at them.]

action; 4/5 more lies

[superbeast]

[sfjsgdkjfh they didn't like that.]

[the hellbeasts are attacking.]

[by snapping at him, which thankfully Akira's reflexes are good enough to move back :|]

[one does not mess with desert hellbeasts, Agito, look at the problem now.]

action;

[superbeast]

[looks over at the shark and his safe distance.]

... is there a Plan C?

action; 1/3

[sixwinged]

[ Watch, as Agito jumps back a good few feet farther from the camel spiders when they moved like that. ]
