Welcome to Gaia! ::

Toxic 'yay'ed when when the spider went into the jar and was relieved. She stood up and climbed up to Lily's head via her long silver hair. Turning and waving she finally introduced herself to the new people. "Hello! I'm Poison-Ivy! But I guess you can call me Toxic seeing as that's was Lily calls me.... I don't know why though.... But anyway, it's nice to meet you both."

Lily nodded and shook Saniiro's hand. "Nice to meet you. You can call me Lily. Thanks for your help."

Taneko giggled slightly as she heard the conversation going on between Fiery and Saniiro. Apparently all the sprites seemed to act the same way when they were infants.

"Where to now?" came the question from Saniiro finally. Taneko looked, first at Lily. and then back at Saniiro. "Well... We were actually heading back the the Main office before we were ambushed by spiders. Like you might have noticed, Lily ran out of empty glass jars to trap the spider and... I think I just used my last one as well" she checked her stack of jars. There was a spider captured in every single one of them "yep, I ran out of jars as well" she nodded to herself.

Meanwhile, Ari was sitting on her shoulder, trying to come up with something intelligent to say, to test just HOW cool Fiery was... Only problem was that she could come up with nothing.

{Spiders! gonk }

"Ah, this is my first spider." Saniiro smile and gave his head a nod, "So are we heading-" He seemed to stop talking, his words cutting off quickly. A small movement had caught his eye, and he do not like it one little bit. Grabbing his net, he looked at the direction of the movement.

"We have company," He said with a light frown, "Lots of tiny yellow company."

Fiery stood up, and noticed the spiders. He blinked, and seem to freeze as he realised that there must be hundreds, even thousands, of yellow spiders who want him on their dinner plate. A shiver went down his spine, and he spoke loudly, "Ari and Toxic, we have a major problem here! Spiders! Loads of ugly, plant-sprite eating spiders!"

Saniiro looked at his company, and waited for their responce. To follow the trail of spiders, to head back to the main office first, or something else.

((You caught them, don't worry))

As the parents considerd their options, The spiders made no move to advance. In fact, they bobbed a little more insistently.

{Yay! =D}

Saniiro nodded as Fiery slipped into his shirt pocket again, "Then let's head to the main office as quickly as we can." He turned to walk away, but paused and addressed the others again, as an afterthought, "And please refrain from running. It'll make the spiders notice our movemenes more."

He sounded calm and remained level-headed, but he was feeling quite nervous inside. If anything was to happen, Saniiro doubt be could forgive himself for a long, lomg time.

((Kicks herself in the buttocks... an update... as promised ;___; took a long time... but it's there!))

Taneko felt slightly patronized by Saniiro's tone, and when-ever she felt patronized, she would usually object and protest against who-ever was in charge of the commando, often by doing the exact opposit, or yelling the person's ears off. Just as she was about to open her mouth and start yelling, Ari prodded one of Taneko's ears slightly as she whined "can we go... please? I'm scared" she looked as if she was at the brim of crying, and Taneko closed her mouth, and nodded. She would let it go this time, but if he ever did that again... hell would break lose!

Biting her tongue she put on a fake smile that, quite obviously, did not reach her eyes and said "Yes... I suppose we should get out of here" as she started power walking away from the place. He might have said that they shouldn't run, but if those spiders were fast, she would run, no matter WHAT that Saniiro-dude thought and said!

While walking it suddenly hit her... a plan... "Does anybody know if we're faster or slower than the spiders? I was just thinking if we could get back to the main office and get a net of some sort... you know... those kinds of net they put over baby plants or berry bushes so that they don't get destroyed or eaten? Anyways... I was thinking if we could get a few of those nets, tie them together, and make a huge trap out of it..." she let it hang there, waiting for responses from the others...

((oh... and btw... I'm not asking you (Dragain) to stop "patronizing"... I'm just writing how Taneko feels about it... just realized that it could be interpreted wrongly ^___^;; ))

"No comments?" Saniiro replied, "In your opinion, do you think we're faster or slower?" He looked at Lily and nodded, "We could talk about it when we reach the office, although it does sound like a good plan to evaluate..."

Fiery clinged on to Saniiro's shirt, "Stop talking! The spiders are nearing us!" He flailed his arms around, "Come on, come on!"

{It's okay Taneko. ^^
I realised that some of my OCs will get under other people's skin due to their character.}

Lily's ears flattened against the back of her head at these comments. "ME?! What about YOU? YOU want to get away, too! Excuse me for not wanting to be eatten by spiders! If you want to, go right ahead. It won't bug me one bit." Lily hmpfed, stormed off also.

Toxic bit Lily's ear to get her attention, snice she had been yelling through out that whole yelling fest. "STOP THAT! You should like a little freaking kid. Jeez... I know when to shut up, but you two ADULTS don't." She was obviously mad at both Taneko and Lily, not just one or the other. Toxic could be hyper and stupid, but she knew when to speak up.

"OOOOOOOWWWW!" Lily shreked in pain when she was bitten. "STOP IT!" "GO AND APOLOGIZE!" "NO!" "YES! I'm not going to talk to you if you don't." And with that Toxic stopped talking all together. "I'm not gonna apologize..." Lily said, but the sprite held her silence. After a bit Lily cursed under her breath and sighed. "Fine."

They walked over to where Taneko was waiting and Lily looked down. "Sorry about that. I have a... bad temper you could say." With Taneko's apology Lily nodded. "It's fine..."
