It's not that bad.

[Yup, Chouno has caught a few of them in jam jars, and has them in a row on the table.]

From:

Yes it is that bad. They're disgusting creatures and their entrails are everywhere!

[He smacks another one with a rolled-up newspaper, curling his lip at the mess.]

I hope you don't plan on keeping those.

From:

That would be because you keep killing them in messy ways.

[To illustrate, Chouno spots on, places his finger firmly on the thorax, pushing it down and using his other hand to cleanly push the head clean off. He doesn't seem to care about the grossness of this at all.]

And why should I not? They're interesting.

From:

[Dist wrinkles his nose.]

I'd rather not touch them. And if you're going to keep the little beasts then at least make sure they never escape. Spiders aren't pets, they're pests.

From:

[Shrug.]

These aren't pets anyway. They're test subjects.

From:

[Okay, that seems to pique his interest.]

What do you plan on doing with them?

From:

Finding out if and how they differ from average spiders.

[He casually picks up an empty jar, drops his middle finger onto a spider, using the other fingers to pick it up. Plonk. Chk chk, screwed up.]

I've wanted a chance to take apart the things Mayfield makes for a while.

From:

[That seems to placate Dist somewhat.]

Well, I guess I can't fault a healthy scientific curiosity.

From:

And if I have any left when I am satisfied, I suppose I might as well suffocate and preserve some. It's not what I usually collect, but it's not the season for butterflies.

[He lifts up the jar, taking a look inside.]

And I doubt I'll see these specific types again, even around here.

From:

They're probably completely unnatural, like everything else in this damn town. Tell me if you find out anything interesting.

From:

Whaffar you tawkin bout?

[Palom is very obviously speaking with his mouth full.]

Thif if great.

From:

I'm sure the non-spider-infested food tastes fine, but some of us care about our health.

From:

[swallow]

What's wrong with this food? It's a lot better than what I get at home.

From:

It's fattening. Starches everywhere, marshmallows in the orange potatoes for some reason, and some kind of greasy corn casserole thing. Also, spiders. I'm not touching it.

From:

. . . Spiders are bad, yeah. But only old women worry about being fat.

From:

You're clearly mistaken. I don't worry; I merely prevent it.

From:

I dunno. You kinda sound like that whiny old white mage who used to sit in the corner and complain about her bunions all the time until she died.

Just eat it. It's delicious.

It happened last year too. Sans spiders.
