“But…if you were a dream wouldn’t you say you were real? Or... wait, that’s for liars not dreams I suppose. But then again if you were part of a dream you’d…oh god I’m going all inception about this. This is so ridiculous.” She laughed. “… Maybe this is where they got that rainbow-unicorn game with the oldies music. “ She mused.
“I mean space whales and there were all those pictures of sea creatures in space, what if pop culture is derived from, well things like this happening?”

Ricky's confused state continued with the head scratching, dropped jaw, raised brow and blank stare as she continued on. However, despite the head scratching, his attempt to process her words resulted in a rather unbearable headache. He rubbed his temples, trying to soothe the discomfort.
"I dunno, I ain't so good with this thinking stuff," he said. Aw, great. Now he sounded like he was an idiot! "I ain't dumb or nuttin' just I ain't so sure I knew what yer talkin bout."

"Well... I mean if people have all those arty prints in the supermarket of like, whales jumping through sunsets and dolphins on the moon, what if its derived from people being taken like this before US... that'd mean there IS a way home, we just have to figure it out!"
She paused and then frowned. "Unless the people making that stuff make them look like normal non bat spewing whales cause they're like Virgo and her Horoscope friends.... s**t"
She thought for a long moment before declaring loudly.
"Screw it!! Yoga time!! I am NOT thinking about this!! Meditation is KEY!"

"Erm, righ'," he said, still not following. He wasn't sure what paintings she was referring to, so the topic of conversation was pretty lost on him. "You sure seem purdy stressed out for a girl tryna relax with this yoga stuff."

“I am perfectly calm.” She said with a tone that suggested she was as much trying to convince herself as she was trying to convince him.
“It’s supposed to be relaxing, but I want to be good at it and I stress out about being good at it so it’s kind of a problem. I’ll solve it one of these days I guess.”
She glanced over at him and gave him a big smile “You’re a good listener”

"Thanks, I s'pose," he said. He knew that he had been listening, but he wasn't quite sure what he was listening to. But if it helped the girl, he figured that she at least appreciated the company. "When I get stressed I usually go for a run, makes me feel better and get my blood pumpin', ya know? You should try it sometime."
"Actually, might go start my run now. I wanna be back before lunch and I ain't so sure what time that's gonna be at, or what time it even ********' is up here," he laughed. "You can follow behind if ya wanna."

“You know, I think I might join you for that jog, it might be more relaxing than yoga!”
She said and straitened to prepare herself to follow.
"That way we can out for space whales! I mean earth whales sometimes travel together and it would kind of suck if one ate you and all that.”

"That would more than suck," Ricky laughed as he started to jog in place to warm up a bit faster. "C'mon, lets get movin'."
He wasn't planning on jogging very far, just far enough before he felt like it was time to turn around and head back to the Outpost. He didn't want to get lost or eaten, after all.

There was nothing at first, just the same strange soundlessness of space. In the distance, perhaps, the noise from a nearby outpost. And then, suddenly, there was a scratching sound and then a splintering noise. Ricky and Dannay did not have time to run, not without meeting an unexpected guest. From beneath the rainbow path, a massive spindle burst through, sending pieces of heavy magical concrete flying through the air. A smaller piece pierced Dannay's cheek, slashing her from the corner of her mouth to the tip of her ear -- a shallow cut, but deep enough for blood to immediately spurt out. Ricky was thrown to the ground as it moved beneath him. The hole widened and widened until it was large enough to allow a creature easily the size of a school bus wedged itself on to the track. It was not nearly as massive as the Space Whale, but it had eight eyes, eight legs, and a pair of menacing, dripping claw-like mandibles that snap, snap, snapped at the pair of civilians. It was a Space Spider. Quote: YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED BY A DEEP SPACE CHAOS MONSTER.
IT IS TOO LATE TO RUN. IF YOU RUN, YOU WILL DIE.
SO YOU MUST FIGHT -- BUT FIRST, CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON:
1) FISTS OF FURY
2) TERRIFYING SCREAM
MAKE YOUR MOVE!!!

Ricky grew up in the deep south and was witness to all sorts of creatures of terrifying sizes - giant mosquitos, cockroaches, rats and more - but he had never seen a spider so large in his life. He was tossed to the ground landing on his back with some force as he tried to roll around and pick himself back up. He sprung onto his feet, terrified and outraged.
"Dad burn it!" he shouted. "What in hell is that thing?"
He clenched his fists tightly, ready to attack when time came for it, seeing no other way out.

The blood streamed down her cheek too startling at first to hurt but after a heartbeat the sting and the pain set in. If there was one thing Dannay couldn’t stand it was a spider, spiders the size of school busses didn’t help in the least. She let out a blood-curdling, terrifying scream as she stumbled back away from it.

Dannay's scream seemed to startle the spider for a moment. It made a high-pitched scream of its own in response, giving her a strange stare. (Was it possible to tell that?) Whatever sound she had made, it was clear that the Space Spider didn't know what to make of it. It dropped its face suddenly inches away from her, coming so close that the hairs on its massive mandibles brushed her cheek. It opened the sharpened pinchers as if to swallow her whole. Instead, a bright blue tongue lolled out of that gaping hole, oozing with saliva. It licked the bloody gash on her cheek once, curiosly. When its tongue pulled away, the gash was no longer bleeding. The spider did not seem to notice or care that Ricky had clenched his fists. Quote: CHOOSE YOUR FATEDannay!Do you.... a) pretend to like the spider's touch OR b) stand perfectly still? Ricky!Do you... a) attempt to distract that massive creature away from Dannay (in a method of your own devising) OR b) slip away unnoticed?

Dannay was trembling; there was no way she could even pretend to like that horrid touch. It –licked- her oh god. She made a small tremulous sound like a mouse that she honestly couldn’t help. Please god let it not find her delicious. She should have stuck to yoga; she was NEVER going to run again. She opted to stand as still as possible.

"Hey, you got off of 'er!" the boy cried. He couldn't just leave her there to die, but he wasn't so keen on throwing himself into danger. He decided to try distracting the beast, but didn't want to anger it to much. Acting purely on impulse, Ricky turned around and dropped his trousers, bent over and mooned the spider.
"Kiss my ********' a**, spider!" he said, slapping his a** before pulling back up his clothing in case he needed to make a run for it.

The Space Spider did not immediately sense that Ricky had dropped his trousers. It did, however, pick up on the shouting at its back, even if the words sounded like a strange dialect. Two great eyestalks sprouted out of its head, both swiveling to glare at Ricky with beady yellow eyes. It let out a defeaning roar that knocked Dannay backwards and then turned its entire body to come after the bare-assed boy. Its legs were long enough to reach him in a single stab, but instead, the creature reared back and let out a long stream of acidic spit right at him. Quote: Ricky!Roll one 6-sided die. If it is even, you have been burned by fire-hot acid. 2 = on the backs of the legs 4 = the asscheeks 6 = the face, somehow, disintegrating part of his hair Odd means you dodged. Dannay! Ricky is under attack! Do you... a) attempt to distract the monster (using your own methods) OR b) try to run for help
