29-Action (arachnophobes beware!)

[jimfromit]

[ So all he wanted was a nice book to read, something to keep his mind occupied for a short period of time in between evil schemes and trolling.

What he did not expect was to blackout in the lobby on the way to the library.

What he also didn't expect when he woke up from a blackout was to be waaay shorter then he already was and considerably more hairy.

Seriously castle...this is so uncool.]

OOC: Moriartys second loss is go!

[Honestly, Paradisa, developing a bug problem now?

Although that's a rather unusual looking insect, isn't it? Worth a look.]

[jimfromit]

[No rush Muraki...he'll just be trying to make a dash for a dark corner with as much grace as you can when trying to get used to sudden additional limbs.]

[madetosin]

[Is that spider drunk?

Well, whatever, he'll close in on the spider and try to block his escape with his foot]

Where do you think you're going?

[jimfromit]

[What he wants to say is "Somewhere I can take stock and evaluate the situation"...but a lack of vocal cords is somewhat hindering that plan.

Instead he's going to rise up on his hind legs and try to look threatening.]

[madetosin]

[Oh how cute, it's trying to be scary.

Muraki wishes up a glass and bends to trap Moriarty under it]

[jimfromit]

[Oh he's just not in the mood to be captured like some sort of science experiment thank you.

He'll just be turning and running...quite quickly.

This is starting to be more embarrassing then when he was Richard Brook.]

[madetosin]

[Oh don't be like that he wouldn't kill you immediately anyway

But he's not going to go scrambling after a spider either, albeit an unusual one, so he'll make one last attempt at trapping Moriarty before he skitters away entirely.

Oh well.]

Action

[patching_up]

[5 had been browsing the library this particular afternoon, and was heading out just as Moriarty was on his way there. He doesn't pass by in time to spy any sort of transformation; what he does spy is a horrible hairy spider that is at least half his size. Understandably, he does what any self-respecting six-inch-tall sackdoll would do-- he screams bloody murder, almost tripping over himself as he stumbles backwards in panic.]

N-no, agh--!! S-s-stay away!

Action

[jimfromit]

[Sorry 5...he's feeling exceptionally petty today.

So upon seeing your reaction his attention turns away from getting angry at the castle and towards your fear.

He'll just be staring at you with his six beady eyes for a few seconds before slowly crawling towards you.]

Action (sorry for the slow tag!)

[patching_up]

[Instant panic is pretty much his reaction; he braces his hands out in front of himself, shaking his head nervously from side to side, trying to deter the spider from coming any closer. However, when that doesn't seem to have any effect, he reaches back behind himself to the heavy pack of various tools he tends to carry, pulling out his tiny, makeshift crossbow and aiming it at Moriarty with trembling hands. Though it only shoots needles, it would still hurt like a bitch to get shot with it at this size.]

D-don't come any closer!! I'll-- I'll shoot, I mean it!

Action (No probs)

[jimfromit]

[The rage at the castle for messing with him is clouding his judgement.

So he'll just continue to saunter over to you 5...the idea seems to be lost that needles when he's this size might actually hurt.]

Action

[patching_up]

I-I said I'll shoot! Please, just go away--!

[He doesn't seem to realize that, under ordinary circumstances, a spider wouldn't even be sentient and able to understand him; all he recognizes is that there's a huge, terrifying, hairy creature assaulting him, having no clue that Moriarty is actually supposed to be human. He winces, not wanting to have to fire a shot-- but the aggressive approach gives him no choice, his lone eye wincing shut as the silver bolt splits through the air. He is aiming for the spider's legs; fatally wounding anything, even something this terrifying, is not something he would ever do intentionally.]

Action

[jimfromit]

[Well that stings.

The needle strikes him in the leg as he's striding forward. He stumbles slightly before stopping.

With pain shooting through every nerve in his tiny body he decides this isn't worth the effort. So he hobbles off to find a dark corner to sulk in.]
