Quote: Eight-legged Issues ( 8 ) - Small webs have begun to appear all over Destiny City at an alarming pace. The thin strands of webbing are surprisingly resilient and can be difficult to break, but that’s to be expected when you’ve got the charm of Destiny City’s unnatural wildlife. At least you’re not dealing with the car sized spiders of a few years ago. While the webs appear with great frequency all over the city, it can be difficult to see the spiders themselves. They are about an inch long at their largest, but even if they were smaller, it wouldn’t matter. They are almost completely invisible. When on their webs, they look like morning dew. When on you? Same thing. Thankfully, these spiders seem to want to keep to themselves, but it’s hard to do that when you can’t see them. If agitated, the spiders will bite. Being bitten can cause nausea, dizziness, fatigue and hallucinations. These symptoms can begin immediately after being bitten or can manifest up to a few hours after the toxins are introduced to the bloodstream. These symptoms may only last for a few hours—or up to a few days. No medicine seems to help this ailment, so you’re stuck weathering this one out on your own.

Silistra hadn't really thought about spiders in a while so she wasn't really thinking about a spider problem as she walked along but even if she had been it wouldn't have mattered since she wouldn't have been able to see the spiders anyway. So she just went along her senses open for any chaos energy that might be in the area. She was always looking for anyone who may have been drained by corrupted senshi or nega agents. She was a healer by nature so she made it a point to seek out others she was able to help. So far she hadn't stepped into any webs.

Christabel hadn't really been into Halloween this year. She just wasn't feeling the joy in the scare eve. To make matters even worse she had heard that spiders and cobwebs were becoming an issue around Destiny City. Now she didn't mind the cobwebs so much it was the black spiders with beady eyes. Something about them made her think they were just plotting something evil. Silly as that sounded she knew, but she just couldn't shake the feeling the spiders were watching her.
As she was wandering around town on this patrol she kept shaking herself. Just in case one had gotten on her she figured it might try and hide in her mistletoe and the thought of that terrified her. "It had to be spiders..." she said shivering at the thought and not really paying attention to people just webs. To say she was distracted on this patrol was an understatement.

Silistra wasn't really sure what she was doing besides her normal thing she walked along then she got stuck in a bit of spider web and she frowned it was much stroger than she exspected spider web to be. She hadn't been bitten by anything as of yet. She didn't even see any spiders coming for her even though she exspected a large spider to jump out at her at any moment. She frowned as she struggled to get her arm out of the spider webbing. She tried not to make too much noise in case she would attrack large spiders.

Christabel quickly looked around and that was when she noticed someone caught in a web. "Oh no," she said under her breath as she raced towards them. Once she arrived she started trying to pull the web back a bit so the other person could get free. She was aware of the danger that the other person was in, and wanted to do whatever she could to help them. She knew that the web was strong and that it would take a lot of effort to pull it apart, but she was determined to do whatever she could to help them.
"Here let me help you." She whispered trying to stay quiet in case a spider belonged to this massive web. She tugged and tugged hoping she was at least making a dent, but this web was insanely strong. It was like spiderman level webbing. She needed to figure out a way to break it. She needed to find something sharp, like a rock or something. She needed to think quickly or this person was going to be stuck here for awhile.

Silistra was relieved that someone had come to help her but it seemed they were making slow progress and she didn't know that is was small spiders that were the problem as they struggled to get her free. "Oh thank you for helping me." She said softly She hadn't expected to deal with something like this. She was still in a great deal of danger she just hoped they could get her out in time before she was hurt or worse who knew what these spiders could do? She suddenly felt a bite on her arm and she started seeing strange colors around her and she began to feel dizzy. "Oh dear this isn't good at all, please be careful." She said more worried that the person trying to help her would get bitten as well then she was for her own discomfort. She was used to dealing with pain and discomfort since it was part of her power. Seeing weird shapes and colors was another story all together she was very much not used to seeing things that weren't there. She frowned and tried not to throw up as the world spun around her.

Christabel flashed a smile. She was happy that she could at least try to help someone. Even if she was making very small progress on it. Though that smile faded as they mentioned getting bitten by something. "Oh no I need to hurry!" she said as she looked around them for anything she could use to break this web. That was when she saw it. A rock was lying on the ground nearby. It was like a rock maybe used for a garden display. She quickly grabbed it and threw it at the web.
Luckily for her, she aimed it right at the top of the web where it was all connected together. As the rock hit she watched the web begin to fall to pieces. The rock was the perfect size and force to break the web, as the impact was strong enough to cause it to break apart in the middle. The web was then unable to support itself and fell to the ground. With it she hoped the person trapped would also be freed. Now what she didn't know was if the spider was still around.
She rushed to her friend as quickly as she could the web still falling to the ground. "Come on we have to hurry! Like now. Lean on me," she said as she offered her shoulder for support. She was ready to help her to a nearby bench. Hopefully away from any spiders.

Silistra leaned heavily on the person who had come to save her as they walked to the bench and Silistra grabbed on to the side and threw up off to the side. Once she was ok again she sat down and said "Thank you so much for saving me." She said with a sigh. She was starting to feel a little better as she sat there catching her breath. It seemed they had left the spiders behind but Silistra was likely going home for the night and to bed to sleep this off, those spiders were small but were no joke. "I better get home and rest this feeling is terrible." She said softly.

Christabel was so happy that everything worked out for the best. Not only that that but no spiders seemed to be around them. She totally understood needing to go home, and after that he felt like she needed to as well.
So she waved goodbye and said, "I'm glad I could help and I hope you Feel better real soon!" With a smile she turned around and started heading to her own home. After today she didn't want to see another spider web real or fake.
