Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Er..." Brice said, scratching the back of his head, trying hard not to laugh at Sabel. "Right, so do you know what we can eat, without giant... whatsits scaring my friend?" Brice asked pointing at Shelob " And it would be lots better if you put up signs before hand." Brice pauses, tilting his head to one side before asking, " Whats a tangerine or a blackberry?... and who are you?"

The corpse in the hall barely affected Lune at all. He had no interest in the corpse whatsoever and remained deep within his thoughts as he adjusted his gait in order to avoid stepping on, or into, it. The scent of cleaner air did bring some of his attention back to the outside world but he was still quite occupied with his depressing musings.

Lune was ripped from his reverie by the sudden scream that erupted from Sable's mouth. Shelob? Vague images of a large spider flickered through his mind as this name registered in his consciousness. He recognized the need for immediate action and moved with surprising speed, getting around the others and putting his own body between the unarmored members of the group and the direction from which Sable had come.

Lune's eyes swept the area, and fastened onto the form of a large carapaced creature with eight legs and rather distinctive markings. A... black widow... I think. Strange... He would have frowned had his facial structure permitted it. His black carapace reflected the somewhat clearer light in this place and he enjoyed the feel of the cleaner air but he kept his eyes fastened on the strangely feminine spider. His visual assessment of her ended fairly quickly, considering the amount of fuss that the arachniphobic hyena was making. She is one of us... isn't she.

"My name iss Lune. The hyena iss arachniphobic, pardon her dissplay. May I assk your name?" Lune's command of his speach had improved rapidly with concentration and he kept his tone of voice quite moderate in his polite address. His tail remained in its customary position of readiness though and he maintained his position between the spider and his furry, and slimy, companions.

Ic:"Well it is a little bit hard to put up signs when there is no one to read them.You are they only travelers in quite the while. Plus the spider wil not hurt you." She adds looking at the panicked Hyena. "And the answer to another quistion is my name is Humamor. The blackberries are not actually blackberries. I am not sure what they are?"

Lune blinked once during Shalobina's reply and then nodded when she was finished. He relaxed his tail and moved slightly closer to her in order to make conversation more pleasant, remaining at a polite distance of a meter or so.

"It iss a pleassure to meet you Sshalobina. I am ssurprissed that there are sso few but... there are many thingss that have ssurprissed me in thesse passt hourss." He blinked in the equivelant of a shrug. "I vaguely remember a ssensse of danger assssossiated with 'Sshelob'... I cannot recall from where though." His eyes narrowed slightly in extremely mild annoyance. Lune shook his head suddenly and returned the focus of his attention to Shalobina. "How do we inssectivorss get by here? I doubt that fruit will ssuffisse for long. I am not hungry yet but... Or... perhapss that iss a quesstion for thiss counssil."

Lune watched the behavior of Aion and Sabel out of the corner of his eyes. She seems very distressed. Perhaps it is good that there are few arachnids in this place. Here, I have found one with whom I can talk at least. His expression did not shift, since it couldn't, but his body lowered slightly toward the ground.

A strange torpedo shape rose swiftly from the bottom, the aerodynamic mantle and huge eyes unmistakeable. with fully ten arms, two of which were longer than the rest of the body ending in spade shaped 'palms', allof which lined with two rows of clawed suckers. At the base of the two longest tentacles was a vaugely human shaped torso, yet that was all that appeared human of the creature. It broke the surface and then expelled a large volume of water then inflated with air.

"Hiya! I'm Krakky, 'cause I'm a kraken get it?" The voice was that of a young girl and the chilish giggles which followed her speech were equally indicative of one who was not yet an adult, nor even an adolescent. "So, who're you?" Krakky asks extending one of her tentacles like a hand.

Brice made a face at what Humamor said and looked around for something that looked good to eat. His mind instantly focused on some whitish, thin looking kind of vines *not worms because that would just be silly*, that were steaming in a, what was it... bowl? Then he remembered a little stand with a man who made that stuff called ramen. At this point he was actually drooling at the thought of all this ramen.
