Bugs can be girly too. 💅🏻✨💖

Hey, I'm sorry to do this so early after an activity check, but my mental health has tanked hard. I'm going to need to request a hiatus for Mimi the Spinarak and Goro Akechi from Persona 5 Royal (@corvidconniver). Mimi's housed in Condo 403 and Goro's housed in Townhouse 214. The date is Sunday, October 22nd, 2023.

mimi will be placed on hiatus for you, however goro doesn't meet the activity requirements needed, as you need to have two active ic posts at the time of requesting, so we won't be able to place him on one at this time.

– mod pleiades.

Is this...a spider?

Can't be, it only has 6 legs. Also, it's huge—barely enough to fit inside the net he'd grabbed from a local dollar store to catch his bugs.

"Huh."

"Only one way to find out."

And so, in the quest to surprise his new eyeball friend (and fan of insects), Wang Yi tiptoed up to the Spinarak...and swooped down with his net!

[🍞] -- Mizi was busy like he always was; checking stock, making sure the timers were set correctly, and finally he grabbed a bag of garbage and took it out back to the dumpster. Like every other day before, it was fairly normal. As normal as a day in Spirale could be.

It was so normal, that Mizi almost didn't notice the spider-like creature that was hanging out in the back with the rising dough. However, he did notice. He noticed and did a double take. He recognized this little creature!

"Oh my gosh, is that.." He squinted, then tip-toed a bit closer. "It IS you!" The spider-like creature was a bit of a handful, but Mizi had previously learned that the easiest way to calm him down was with food.

He knelt down and held out his hand, hoping the spider would see fit to climb up onto him.

Out of anything Mélusine was expecting back on the surface the large moth-like creature was one of them. It seemed like the other districts also had problems to worry about but she was just one person. If everyone else did their jobs and held out then hopefully things would work out in their favor.

Thankfully the "temporary" recovery of their powers was helping out considerably with ensuring everyone did get to safety, without the latchers getting the upper hand. Of course the one thing Mélusine wasn't expecting to see when she landed back down was a bright looking spider. It didn't seem part of the chaos, rather, just caught up in everything.

"I'd suggest getting away from here. It isn't safe even for a creature like yourself." Rather blunt but there was some consideration towards their safety.

"Unless you don't know where to go from here..."

As Albedo was peacefully eating some ice cream, luckily she can endure human food to eat with as doesn't need to eat how normal succubi do which is to drain lifeforces of anyone, especially humans.

When she was about to daydream about how things were doing without her presence at her world, something appeared out of nowhere and not even startled a bit. Doesn't even remind her of those spiders at her world, who had devoured a dead girl's remains.

"Aren't you an odd-looking spider..." Staring as she was, she resumed. "What do you need from me?

@tarantucutie

night time should have been quiet enough that she could float upon the ocean's tide, stargazing with the absence of city lights competing with the twinkles of afar. but tonight, she had company — one whom she'd not caught sight of before drifting closer toward the shore. a part, and growing at that, considered simply diving beneath the waves and vanishing — there wasn't anything she cared to discuss, and the stars would be out another night.

after some thinking, she instead crossed onto the sand and began to walk, not so much as glancing to check if the other party followed. she'd engaged with all manner of creature and had lost the humour to question the nature of the other side or the oddity of their sharing a conversation.

✦you know, sirens are dangerous. you could go missing tonight and no-one would ever find you.✦ instead her priority was a warning — maybe that would ward them off and she could get something sweet to eat.

something numb the hollow, something mechanical rather than pleasureable. she couldn't even strum up malice in her voice or glare back, it was all bothersome at most. ✦if you're out here looking for another recruit to stop the war, you're wasting your time.✦

🕸️ // oh, this man's going to regret laughing at mimi. he's going to regret it so bad! who cares that ghost-type humans resist poison, he's gonna sting him! with a grunt of effort, he flings a strange little barb into astarion's hand, filled with noxious venom… that feels about as itchy and nasty as a bad mosquito bite, perhaps maybe at the level of half of a bee sting at most. || mimi used poison sting! it's not very effective… || Astarion flinches as the barb sinks into the soft, pallid flesh of his hand. "Well, that's not very nice," he scolds, pulling out the stinger with the habitual disinterest of someone used to being injured. "We ask before we bite. Or sting." He stares at his hand, scoffing. The wound's starting to swell a bit, marring his perfect skin. "Ugh. Serves me right for complimenting spiders. But at least you're not a rat."

🕸️ // at the risk of seeming unreasonable, mimi finds he is getting quite sick and tired of being cooed at without his approval! when he's scary, he should be terrifying, but no, everyone bigger than him laughs! frankly, he's had enough! it's time for him to win for once! he squeaks and screeches and hops up and down upon the wooden box he's made into a proper sunning spot, the noise quickly drowned out by the translation collar around his neck buzzing to life.

i'll bite you however much i please, and i don't need to ask nothin'! arceus can't stop me, and neither can you! i'll rip you inside out, see how you like it!

despite his rage, he is still just a spider on a crate. perhaps a larger spider than most have seen, but such is the fate of a spinarak.

[redhorseman]

@tarantucutie

A little bug. This little bug wanted his food.

Why did the creatures of Spirale always bother him at the worse of moments? The horseman just wanted to eat his meal in peace. He had set up a secluded camping area within the deeper woods of Cotes, but foolish of him to think that it would protect him from any irritation!

"No."

[tarantucutie]

🕸 //    well, now the human's left him. now he probably will die to this deep and awful chill. this is awesome. this is so cool and so fun. mimi takes a deep breath before letting out a long, rage-filled screech, legs splaying out in the sheer power of his little voice. arceus, you're going to be the reason he dies, and it's going to be your fault because you made humans this stinky!

but then he perks up when the human comes back. wait, there's another scarf in his hands? oh! oh, happy day! mimi immediately stops screeching and begins squeaking in delight. nevermind, arceus, you will not have a godkiller on this day, for you have brought mimi a gift in this lovely, delightful human, who is oh-so-considerate to the plights of a poor little spinarak! mimi immediately curls up in the cutest pose he can with cooing squeaks, beckoning for the human to bring the scarf closer.

⠀. . .

⠀somehow, he feels as if he's just been sworn at by the little thing.

⠀“ this is . . . still my scarf, you know. ”

⠀the spinarak plops down on the bench lifelessly, and he almost worries he killed it just by pulling it out from the cloth;⠀was it truly that cold, or was he too forceful removing it from its makeshift shelter?⠀but the slightest poke rewards him with a twitch—⠀not dead, just . . . playing, he assumes.

⠀he'd rather his prized scarf not be in reach anymore if a few minutes on a bench is all it takes for wild pokémon to start claiming it.⠀that can go back into the staff room, into a locker—⠀but leaving it on a chilly bench . . .

⠀—there's an extra in the staff room, he remembers, and promptly heads there to swap the two out.⠀would it feel a bit better to have a different scarf to huddle in?

Now that he's been properly approved, I'd like to re-apply for my Pokémon fandom OC, Mimi! His app is at /application, his stats are at /statistics, and he was at Subgiant rank and housed in Hammerlocke Castle (if it still exists since everyone's gone, I believe). I'm not attached to his housing, but it'd be funny if this tiny spider had a whole-ass castle to himself. My OOC contact is, as always, salmonandsoup <3

Welcome back!

You'll be staying in CONDO 403!

You'll retain everything from your previous stay!

Enjoy!

Would it be alright to say that Seiza was troubled by the strange turn of events? Probably for the best. Yes, she was quite troubled. She has seen many creatures in her lifetime, which wasn't very long. Her world was filled with all sorts of creatures, after all. It was just that this one, in particular, was troubling her.

Well, first of all, it's a spider. Anybody with a brain or two on them can tell that much. Second of all, it was green with some strange patterns on it. Seiza would have assumed it was a toy if it wasn't breathing and moving its tiny legs around.

"...You're a spider, right?"

Well, Seiza better hopes it's a spider or she'll be needing glasses because she can't tell her insects apart.

"That means I can crush you, right?"

It's what you do to bugs, right?

🕸 //    mimi can take or leave rain, if he’s honest.  the way it forms in pretty dewdrops on his webs, he likes, as well as the smell it leaves behind, but the rushing runoff and puddles get his fur wet—and in this human city, there aren’t nearly enough trees to hide in and wait it out, even fewer bushes to shake out his fur and try to put himself back together.

           the best he can do now that he’s too far from his house to rush back without getting completely soaked is curl up underneath an awning, settled upon a windowsill, and this is where liu bei finds him, grumpy, but at least full.  the umbrella startles him for a moment, but he realizes that now he won’t get wet at all ( at least from above ) , even if he moves out of the bounds of safety!

          with a content squeak, he slowly steps forward, wiggling his little bum in relief.

thank you!  i gotta get home.  can i have that thing, please?

"Well, I suppose this city has everything." holding the umbrella over the much tinier creature, it seems like it might rain forever. And this didn't seem like a regular spider as well...

Oh, a Spinarak! From what Cynthia had gathered, seeing Pokemon of any kind was rather uncommon here, so it was nice to see one of these just chilling on the park bench. The champion didn’t want to scare the Pokemon off, though-- so instead of approaching too closely, she simply tore off a small chunk of the soft pretzel she had been enjoying and set it down on the bench for the ‘mon to inspect.

Hopefully, they would enjoy that, and wouldn’t be too scared of her. After all, she didn’t know if this Spinarak belonged to a trainer or not, and if it was wild, well... feral animals generally didn’t take too kindly to humans, and Pokemon were hardly an exception to that rule.
