Physically Down to Earth [Lucas / Invite]

[Lucas]

Lucas froze for a second seemingly in horror...though he didn't understand most of it,it still seemed kind of scary. It was a difficult subject to grasp. *So babies don't come from pelicans? Interesting....* Despite being morally wrong about it, and how graphically Alarice described it, he was still pretty much calm about the situation...mostly. He immediately decided to skip over the subject as if he had never learned it. "Yay! You get to meet Mr. Eight Legs! Follow me!!" He immediately marched over into a random direction near a canopy of trees that appeared out of seemingly nowhere and made his way to an extremely large spider web. He then proceeded to a small rock next to it and yanked out a small spider about the size of his palm. "Here he is! Do you wanna hold him?"

The spider he took was definitely not the one that made that web next to him. The spider he took wasn't as big as she had expected, but that was perhaps just pessimism and paranoia -- she should be glad it's not monstrous. Even if she had not a phobia of spiders, she preferred that they stay aloof, or away, from her. "I'll pass." it wasn't very friendly or sincere, but not mean either, perhaps more casual. Just a regular spider, so that's cool she guessed. Hopefully it wasn't venomous, otherwise she probably wouldn't want to get near it without obliterating the currently passive one. She liked dogs, cats, sloths more. Furry animals, pretty much. Thinking about that made her realize just how much of a girl she can be underneath that delinquency and roughness. Well, she chose not to think too hard about the web, or ask about it. Worrying would just take the fun away from Lucas, and him not calling her Scarry so far made her a little generous of letting him indulge.

"Ahhhh, your no fun!" Lucas was a tad bit disappointed of the fact that she didn't want to hold Mr. Eight Legs and let out a small whine. Why didn't she want to hold him? There was nothing wrong with the cute little spider, it only wanted a few friends that all. What if Mr. Eight legs got bullied? Oh no! Who would do such a thing? Lucas couldn't imagine. He slowly bent down and set the spider on the ground. Immediately after his hand let go of the spider, hundreds of red eyes appeared from the darkness. His face lit up. " Mister Eight Legs, you silly spider! You didn't tell me you had siblings!" He slowly walked towards the red eyes hiding in the darkness.

It was awfully nightmarish, whatever might happen ran through her head. It was pretty disturbing what spiders can do. Did she manage to say something? ... Yes, she did. Probably inaudible to Lucas, but she did say something to herself. "Oh f-" you could probably predict what came after that hyphen. If these relatives were big enough that you could see their round, red eyes, it was rather frightening. She couldn't make out how many spiders there actually were, but Alarice had the feeling she would have to run. Maybe with Lucas or without him, she was expecting the latter. Simply too many enemies, charging them and trying to save Lucas (implying he did need help) would be a losing battle, and probably her last, too. She took a step back, there was already adrenaline working it's effect. She could run at any time. Perhaps now was the time. She was going to do it, yet her legs refused to move.

Lucas was perplexed at the sight of the sight of Scarry standing so still. "Whats wrong Scarry?" He was slightly worried about her, showing genuine concern for his new friend. "Are you ok--" the spiders suddenly let out a large hiss of warning towards the nearing Kokiri."I didn't know spiders could hiss! That's so cool!" Lucas began to get closer to the group of spiders. The horde of demonic spiders had enough of the boys 'threatening' gestures and suddenly burst out in an enormous group, stampeding towards the two individuals. Lucas face lit up once again. "You like playing tag too?! That's so awesome!" He started to run in the opposite direction an in energetic manner and passed Alarice by...Oops he had forgotten about Scarry! He then decided on summoning his puppet friends to help her out. He let out a whistle into the sky and five puppets dropped down. One of which to hoist Alarice onto its shoulder, and the other four to fend off the raging spiders, while running in a mad dash of course.

A thought came to mind -- a pretty big one, it echoed in her mind and bounced around. Smash... wait, no. Puppets... her mind was uncannily calm all of the sudden, but this was no specialty. She readied her hammer, and only managed to take a few steps. She was speechless as she took those steps, but her deadpan thrill spoke to herself, and only to herself. She wanted to... protect, right? These puppets surely couldn't fend all of them off, but Scar could add to the body count enough to successfully zerg. But the new plan was cut short, as a puppet summoned by Lucas grabbed her without remorse and took her with Lucas in the big run. Frankly the result of Alarice actually fighting wasn't very predictable to whom would win. She thought about protesting being taken in a game of, what Lucas said was tag, but probably wasn't. She kept quiet, below what she even fooled herself into not thinking about, she was concerned about what the compromise of this would be.

Lucas was having a great time with Mr Eight Leg's relatives, although they were a bit slower than he anticipated. He sighed and turned himself around, now running backwards. Okay scratch having a great time, he was already getting bored. Why did they have to be so slow! Maybe he shouldn't have summoned the puppets, he felt like he was cheating, and he didn't enjoy that feeling. He was guilty for summoning them. "Hey Scarry, would summoning the puppets be considered cheating? Cause I'm not sure the spiders like them too much. Maybe I should just get rid of them so the spiders don't feel sad", he said as he was still running backwards.

[TALLEST SCAR]

Technical error! Sorry Lucas, this post can't be recovered.

TLDR; Scar said nothing, pretty much idle for this post.

[Lucas]

Lucas noticed that Scarry seemed slightly...different. Was she okay? She had ignored his question, but he didn't mind, nobody bothered to answer his questions. Maybe his questions so idiotic for people, that they wouldn't care to answer them. Lucas only wanted answers. Spending your whole life in the forest can cripple your knowledge of the world around you, and Lucas desperately wanted to know things. He had one common factor that few Kokiri possessed. Curiosity. Most Kokiri were content with life in the forest, but not Lucas. Most Kokiri were accepted among crowds of other Kokiri, but not Lucas. Pretty much all Kokiri had actual friends, except for Lucas. Lucas was pretty much left out of games and parties, and any other type of special event. Despite supposedly being the Kokiri Boss, he was usually avoided by other Kokiri. Sure he could order them to include him, but then that wouldn't be real.

Why was Scarry so upset? Why was he suddenly upset? Yet more questions that could never be answered. "Scar...please don't be sad, because it makes other people sad when they see you sad." It was surprising, even to himself, that he used a name somebody actually wanted to be called.It had showed that Lucas was determined to make sure she wasn't sad. "I know what it feels like to be sad, I'm usually rejected by other Kokiri, even though I'm the leader, so please don't be upset."

She didn't feel sad, but Lucas must have thought. He didn't understand, she thought. He wouldn't understand her, no. But if she could, she would try to understand Lucas. Wait a minute... Ge called her Scar! He showed a lot of concern, probably. He might not have taken the approaching threat seriously. She wasn't rejected, no, she even picked on the aloof kokiri, too. This was pretty temporary, of course. She didn't always view things like this. Lucas seemed a lot like a sibling, all of the sudden. She didn't ever have any siblings in reality, but Lucas felt too amiable to her. Too childish, of course Lucas wasn't the fighting type. Perhaps a hit-and-run kind of guy. If he was the leader, as he had said... She managed to force, or let, the puppet drop her. Peeling it away, and unless it turned out to be against her, she dropped and slid along to a slow stop, hammer already ready to be used by now. Now she finally got a chance to look at how many of them there were. It looked like hundred of eyes back there... but perhaps that wasn't an illusion. There were several, several spiders. She wasn't even paying attention to if the puppets were gone, defeated, whatever. She felt like protecting the "Kokiri Boss" now, and this might not ever happen again. "I'LL SHOW YOU..." Her words boomed, metaphorically rippling the air as it vibrated. She charged towards her enemies in a stampede, ready to decimate. Her mind was still shut off, though. In her own mental purgatory she was pondering about the one she aimed to protect in her currently fixed state. He was sort of fascinating, to see a boy who thought a hoard of angry spiders were only playing with him... She couldn't tell what she was doing right now. She was ready for hell and high waters.

[Lucas]

Lucas's puppets had disappeared but he had hardly cared. He watched in awe as Alarice had begun to attack the spiders. Suddenly all care for the spiders had disappeared. He wanted to help Scarry...no Scar, out in some way. He gave a carefree smile and brought out his sword in shield and immediately (Quite literally) jumped in. Normally he chose not to fight, due to his obsession for making friends, but in small instances like this, he would do so. He lifted his kokiri sword into the air and stabbed it into a spider. He immediately spun around and slashed it into another spider;and so the battle had begun.

It spun horizontally instead of vertically, but it still hit an enemy. The force of her hammer had taken out that spider, and two of them leaped at her at the same time. Her fists charged at them, overpowering their assault and sending them tumbling back. She didn't really want Lucas to jump in, but he did. He even had a sword with him, that wasn't expected of someone such as him. A monster apart of the mob had lunged at Lucas. It was uncertain whether or not that spider could have brought Lucas down, that question would remain unanswered fro ma third-person-perspective as Alarice collided that spider with her fist, the metal of her chain mail gloves overpowered it and sent it back in the same fashion of the pummeled spiders before. The feeling of pounding the life out of a beast with one, cold metal punch was easily satisfying. Spiders were meant to be assassins, in groups they were a zerg, more based on strength in numbers. They went down so easily, Alarice was in a trance of sort, the only thing echoing in her stimuli was the obligation to back up her partner and eliminate everything that was a threat to them. She didn't let her self-promise fail her. A spider that was stampeding it's way over to be possibly slaughtered by Lucas received a strong jab from Alarice's boot. It smashed the head of it, and it was sent tumbling backwards. The more realistic part had to be that the spiders curled up after being defeated by Alarice's berserk. When they lost their blood, they did that because they could no longer move, or live for that matter. Alarice stood close to Lucas, as it was easier to defend each other that way. In nature, spiders attack in sudden bursts. It could have been eerie when they didn't attack, plotting when to lunge. She was ready to cross-counter again. It was a very effective thing, of course.

[Lucas]

Lucas actually kept quiet throughout the fight. He really didn't enjoy fighting...he wouldn't be in his natural carefree attitude during the 'Great Spider War.' His mind would be in an emotionless state, void of any thoughts other than the task at hand. He only fought as a last resort...and he guessed this fit the bill. Lucas regarded that a spider was rushing towards him and was prepared to strike...only to find that Alarice had already disposed of it. This had brought him out of his emotionless state and caused him to let out a childish pout. "You stole mine, Scarry." At this moment Lucas noticed a great multitude of spiders jumped him all at once. He was quite confident that he could take them out. He then tightened his grip on his sword, and let out a joyous shout. "Fury Cut!"

The sword had moved so fast and swiftly that it was barely even able to be seen. All one could tell was that the motion of his sword was a stab, other than the the sword was but a blur. The six spiders had been disposed of. He found himself closer to Alarice in a defensive stance. Despite being in the midst of battle a question had crossed his mind, of which he couldn't hold inside his curious mind. "Scarry, do babies really come from...you know..."

A question at a time like this, like she was a role model or something. She wasn't a role model, even in this trance she knew that. And so she couldn't take back the truth. "... Yeah." Perhaps for the first time, this tone was comfortable. It had a bit of a friendly aggressiveness to it, but it was better than what she sounded like before. She thought about adding on to that, perhaps something to lift the anxiousness she might have caused him -- but there was an interruption. A spider was charging for Lucas again. These enemies were indeed too naive to beat Lucas like that, from what she had seen. She leaped to intercept, landing on it in the process. She had landed on it's head, eliminating this threat with her momentum. So their numbers were dropping, she could notice this already. Another spider took a rush towards Alarice, instead of her teammate. These beasts were quite untactful and had very little ingenuity, as Alarice was already ready to pound this one back too. These monsters had very little bite with them, unless they could actually bite you it seemed. The crunching sound they produced when being smashed by her fist was an uneasy feeling out of battle -- right now, though, she could care less.
