Just a Passing Assassin...

 Spiral: I trust you, do it.

You can see Cabinetta’s eyes flicker yet again, her smile twitch just a little.

As she approaches, you can see her visibly struggling.

Spiral: You okay?



Cabinetta: Taking it slow, under normal circumstances I’d be done by now but..

Cabinetta: I rather walk you both through the process this first time.

Steady: I mean you’re just gonna take a bite, right?

Cabinetta: If I were merely a spider fiend? That would very much be the case.

Cabinetta: But in truth, the spider part is somewhat misleading. More of a container I suppose?

Cabinetta: Some of us are a little less stable in our existence, able to manipulate cells to a further degree than simple shapeshifting.

Cabinetta: I can transform cells to replicate others, both my own and those I make contact with in a way that makes me less of an insect and mammal, or really an animal of any kind. More of…



Steady: Like, a fungus?



Cabinetta: Don’t phrase it like that! Admittedly closer but that’s not correct either…

Cabinetta: But by design, I am meant to feed in ways beyond the normal methods of my species, capable of assimilating the organic material of other beings.Not that I’m fond of the practice, find it a little offputting to acknowledge…

She walks directly up to Steady.

Cabinetta: When a fiend bites, a tiny amount of venom will release causing the target to relax. This is still very much true. But when a fiend of my specific nature takes a bite, a temporary link forms. For a moment, we will share a mind, So….. try to picture something nice I suppose? I wish to avoid biting too hard..



Steady: No worries. I got it figured out, go for it-

Steady: A-ah?



The spider dips her dramatically, before taking a chomp on the rabbit's shoulder.



Fiddle: Steady...

Fiddle: I suppose I'm not surprised but...

Fiddle: May as well get some data from this..

Fiddle: Don't either of you die over this, don't think I can stand being alone for the rest of the mission...

THere’s a surprised noise that comes out followed by her body instantly relaxing, eyes in a clear daze. After what seems like an eternity, Cabinetta releases Steady, the rabbit gone quiet as she processes what just happened, with a hint of a tiny smile sneaking onto her face.

The spider’s face looks a little embarrassed after that.



Spiral: Is uh… she going to be okay?

Cabinetta: S-She’ll be fine! Just… perhaps we got a little too eager there…

Cabinetta: Your turn if you’re still up for it…. Just focus on something nice.
