I know. My dear, sweet little Trollki elicits so many screams when I take him out of the dorms, poor baby. He's just a big fuzzy sweetypoo, so misunderstood and unappreciated.

Okay, so let me make sure I understand what you're trying to do. You want something you can strap to your wrist that will ejaculate webbing that will allow you to swing from building to building.

I'm thinking silly string.

Trollki?

Theoretically you would be able to swing from building to building, yes.

No, think moreso Carpe Retractum.

My spider.

Oh. Yes. I guess that would work too. I was just thinking aerosol and potions. Anyway, yes. So a cuff charmed to perfrom Carpe Retractum, probably triggered by a wrist movement or specific gesture?

That would really tone your shoulder and chest muscles.

What sort is he?

I don't want rope though, rope won't stick to... I'm not saying I'm going to use it to swing from buildings because Bruce is lurking but to walls. That is the general idea so far.

Also I'm banning you from talking about my physique anymore and or possible physique.

Goliath Birdeater! He's a lovely shade of blue, too.

That would be cool, though! I mean, I would never do it, I'd hurt myself, but swinging from buildings, hanging from the ceiling, maybe dangling obnoxious people from rooftops... Why would Bruce object to that?

What? Why?

Hmm, would you mind if I took some web samples from him?

There's got to be a way to do it.

I wouldn't dangle obnoxious people from rooftops. But I mean, there'd be just an equal risk to that as there is to whenever I do my freerunning, yeah?

Because I said so.

Not at all! It's rare to find another who truly appreciates him. I'll bring him to the next club meeting, if you like.

Well, I imagine if we look at what goes into the spell, we could just alter what produces the rope to produce web instead.

Of course.

I am not usually of the habit of using faces, however I think ::::C sums my feelings up quite nicely.

I would appreciate that, I'm not sure if the rest of the club would, but I certainly would, and you named him Trollki?

Yes, theoretically that should work. That's what I've been thinking of doing... But I've also been wondering about the web strength, which is why I want a sample of some.

...Is that an unhappy spiderface?

I was eleven.

Makes sense to me. I suppose I could bring some from his tank, but I assume you wanted a fresh sample. And there is no way I am transporting his tank around, it's far to big.

Yes.

I wasn't insulting, I have a cat named Pillow, I'm not allowed to mock what someone names a pet.

A fresh sample would be ideal. I'd also enjoy seeing him, if it isn't a bother.

Well, stop it.

...Pillow is kind of cute though.

I suppose I have time now. Would you like to meet somewhere?

::::C

You misspelled 'lame.' I was lame, it's a lame name.

Um, perhaps tomorrow, would you have free time then? I still have homework...

No, stop that.

It's sweet. Do you sleep with your Pillow?

Sure, that's fine. I do all my homework as soon as I get it. I don't put it off to ponder the mysteries of life, like some people.

8888C

She sleeps on me at night, yeah.

I wasn't just pondering, I told you, I'm doing stuff.

:]

Cute.

I meant your nightblogging, Peter.

You misspelled 'manly.'

I don't know what you're talking about.

Did you pick that up from Vriska by any chance?

[Yes she is referring to the spider like emote. Yes she did think it was a Serket thing.]

Huh? Oh yeah, probably. I don't know, it just seemed right.

Why did you like it?

It's a thing she usually does. I mean, I do it too, 8ut it is more regular to see it coming from her. Our handwriting can 8e so similar at times, and we 8oth favour the same colour ink that I try and make it less confusing for others. It's surprising, I suppose, to see someone else using it.

What do you think? ::::3

Well, it is a lovely shade of blue. Almost the same color as Trollki, actually.

I think it's definitely cute when you do it.

[Oh gosh, why is he blushing, she's not even there]

It is. It nearly matches our eyes too, which makes myself even more fond of it. 8ut as Professor Matteris uses it as well I'm surprised there's not more confusion at times.

Is it? I always thought I would seem... silly I guess, so I kept it to just a thing with Vriska, as she did it as well. I suppose it's only natural, with my names to have a fondness for spiders and spider related things.

[what a qt]

It does. I didn't know if it was weird that I had noticed that or not. But really, they're the most perfect shade of blue I have ever seen.

Maybe. But I like it. c::::

They do say names have a tendency to influence their bearer. I did also notice your name was

Well, I don't know if it's intentional, but it was used in Charlotte's Web.

[Wow now she's blushing. Good thing she's already tucked up in her bed, studying behind the curtains so no one can see.] I. Thank you Eriq. That's very sweet of you.

Perhaps I will indulge in it more then ::::)

Oh it is intentional. It 8ecomes even more notica8le if you look at my full name, Aranea Eleanor Joy. Eleanor standing in for Nellie, as Nellie is a diminutive of Eleanor of course.

My grandfather used to read it to my mother, and she is herself a Charlotte, and then she read it to me as a child, so we 8oth have a fondness for it. She thought it would 8e funny I suppose, that a Charlotte would have an Aranea for a daughter. I suppose it fits fine in the magical world, though I may have run into trou8le had I 8een a muggle.

Wow, that's

That's really something, actually. That books was kind of my introduction to spiders, actually. Well, aside from apparently trying to eat them as a toddler, I kind of had this habit of sticking anything that I could get my hands on into my mouth. Which I don't do anymore. But yeah. My mom read it to me as a kid all the time too. That, and Casper.

Oh, I know how the unusual name business goes. I'm Eriq with a Q. Do you have any idea how often teachers would ask me if I was sure I was spelling it correctly as a child? It didn't matter that I could read and write before school, it was always "Are you sure it's not with a C, sweety?"

Yes, I can spell my own name, thank you, go away.

It is, isn't it? Though it is a mouthful.

It's still one of my favourites I must confess, even if though my reading levels has 8een long a8ove it. 8ut it's always nice to curl up with for a lazy read.

An don't worry so much, toddlers are like that. I once ate my mother's entire stash of tea leaves if she's to 8e 8elieved.

[She's giggling a little at how annoyed he seems at this. Which she probably shouldn't but oh well]

For what it helps I think it's a very nice name.
