Let's not. I'd hate for Dai to be assaulted in that way, too.

>>598837
Tell her you're glad to see her, you needed a sacrifice for the ritual. Try to scare her off. If you can't scare her off, ditch the lantern and fucking run. You're wearing a dark outfit so you'll be harder to see in the darkness.

GO FIND SOME CHICKENS. Raw meat, dammit. You need raw meat.

>>598842
Let's not get ask Purple to get anywhere near Daithi as he is right now. If he winds up eating someone, and Purple witnesses it, we've just lost an ally. Plus, Daithi might even attack whatever pawn Purple sends.

Oh, for fuck's sake! Of all the fuckin' times that bully could show up, she shows up NOW, at the worst goddamn time?! What the fuck is she even doing out in the woods alone at this hour anyway?! ...Oh, for... She's been stalking you. That's it, isn't it? She's been following you ever since you went on your date. That's how come she's behind you right now. She saw you head into the woods and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get you alone for whatever horrible thing she wants to do to you. ...Goddammit, why the fuck does she hate you so much?! What the hell does she think you did to her?!

Daithi, you can't lose control here! You can't allow the hunger to take control! If you lose it you'll kill her and then the guards Atena sent to find you will find the bloody scene and then you'll be hauled in for murder and then Atena will have to cover it up and you don't want to put her through that! She'll never want to be with you again then!

Dai, how close is the Academy? Are you close enough that you think that sprinting as fast as you can you could get within earshot of the gate guards before the bully catches up with you? 'Cause if you can then make a break for it, yelling for help as soon as you're close enough for them to hear. Otherwise... You're going to have to keep her talking until the city guards catch up. Make sure you talk loud, and KEEP THE FUCK BACK from her. Ask her in just what is her problem with you. Why has she singled you out for this? Why are you so damn threatening to her that she has to abuse you like she has?

[@White: Dammit, Dai took off while Atena was getting guards to escort him back to the Academy! He's in the woods near the Academy now, but that female mantis bully that's been hounding him just showed up behind him. That's bad enough but the hunger of the Diligent is rising and I don't know if Dai can keep control. I fear there's going to be a murder one way or another. We need you to get somebody, anybody, out here to stop this! Follow whatever the shortest path is through the woods to Atena's place to find us, just please hurry! Oh, and bring a couple live chickens for him to eat!]

You don’t want to know that those that are weak willed taste delicious! You won’t leave any blood of you don’t chew! Eat her whole! You can- ARGH! STOP IT, BRAIN! DON’T EAT HER!

[White: Purple said that demons need to eat things that feel strong emotion, as in people. So… um… chicken won’t work… probably… it worth a try, maybe? Either way, we’re on our way and… um… I guess I can ask Nickolas to forward a prayer from me, maybe?]

>Be the better man, ignore her.

Hey! Don’t you dare walk away from me! I’m warning you, I got a heavy lantern, a good throwing arm and your head is a big target! If you don’t stop then you’ll find out firsthand what metal does to a mantis head.

>What the fuck is she even doing out in the woods alone at this hour anyway?! ...Oh, for... She's been stalking you. That's it, isn't it?
Can I ask a question first? What are you even doing here?
Why would I even-
Are you following me!? Is that what you’ve been doing on a Friday night?
…what? No! I was at a party and I’m on my way home. I just saw the light from your lantern and… I don’t need to justify myself to you, worm!
>Goddammit, why the fuck does she hate you so much?! What the hell does she think you did to her?!
You… You’re an insult to all of us, that’s why! How dare you even try going against our culture and tradition! You’re a man! You’re supposed to be weak and timid! You’re supposed to stay in the freaking kitchen while we real woman go out there and deal with the real world! You’re not supposed to be some kind of commander! It’s wrong, perverted and I’m going to fix it!
With violence?
If that what’s it takes!
>What, so all this time that you've been bullying me, it's actually just your way of trying to get my attention, because you find me attractive?!
…I was going to just beat you up but… hmm… there’s a swamp here nearby… if I throw you into it they’ll never find your body.
Err… wait, are you sa-
It’s been fun, Daithi, but I believe I’m going to strangle you to death now. Don’t be sad, see it as a favor for the rest of our species.
You’re nuts! I… um… there are guards coming this way! They’ll arrest you!
Ha! Like they’ll find me out here! No, it’s time to say goodbye, Dai…

>Ditch the lantern and fucking run. You're wearing a dark outfit so you'll be harder to see in the darkness.
AAAAH!!
Ha! That’s right, cow-
…
…
…ahh?
…
…um… why can’t I move?
Because our second mother blessed us with extra time.
AH! You’re… you’re the demon?
Demon? No, I’m Daithi.
…wait… so… I’m the demon?
You’re Daithi too. We’re both Daithi. We are the same being. We both see through our eyes, speak through our mouth and make the same decisions.
…so, you’re like a split personality or…?
What? No! What part of “we’re the same being” don’t you understand! I’m you just like you’re me. Now, we need to do something about our current situation. Let’s see…we’re on the run from a psychopath that’s stronger and more well trained then us, we’re about the get hit in the back of our head with a lantern and we’re just about to run into a pitch black forest. Even without the “getting hit by lantern” part I’ll say we’ll make it about ten meters before tripping and her catching up. So… any ideas how can solve this?
Err… don’t you have any demon powers or something?
Oh! Of course! I just don’t know what we can do! We are the son of the deceiver so… um… probably things connected to her? Maybe?
…geez, to think, this morning I was worried about a date…

Insert Suddenly demon!_

DUCK!
Okay, tutorial time.
First off, she probably can't see the beak-snake, otherwise she will flip out. If she flips out we can probably just scare her into retreating. Should she not flip out, that means beak snake SHOULD be able to lock her in place much like it just did without fear of reprisal.
Alternatively, trip her with the beak snake, head butt her from behind-all sorts of shenanigans we can pull with a invisible limb that can bite things.
The REAL problem we will have, is if bully there flips out but continues to attack. I suspect Bone snake could still be very useful, if for no other reason than simply enabling Daithi to go for a restraining move wile the Bone Snake beats her like a drum.
Even considering all that falls through if Bone Snake is only 'solid' to Daithi, it can probably still run distraction/misdirection...
But as for Demonic Powers? I figure whisper things like 'you do not want to do this' into her ears, should get her to break off what she's doing, and quickly.

>same being
Looks like you'll have to learn to love yourself, Daithi.
...Daithis. I guess I'll nickname your daemonic half 'Id' because it keeps asking you to eat people.
Whatever. Pronouns aren't as important as allegiances, so, can you trust yourself?

> So… any ideas how can solve this?
Keep those red eyes going, slow time or improve reflexes enough so that you can turn around and catch the lantern, then grow Shapechanger tenacles and shout 'BIG GODDAMN MISTAKE'. Bully fears Dai, Dai eats fear. Not the bully. Don't eat the bully. It's a bluff, but that's what The Deceiver is good at, right?

>So… um… chicken won’t work… probably… it worth a try, maybe?
[reply: We're basing this off a very similar situation we had a long time ago. and thinking back on it this time is almost playing off exactly like last time. Sorta like the same play with different actors... I just hope to GOD and the stars above that this time we don't get stuck in a massive illusion were we watch our friends die repeatedly in front of us while we can only watch helplessly on the sidelines while looking at every ceiling pattern and carpet fiber trying to the one that doesn't match so we can know for sure that we're trapped in a massive illusion and brake it only to end up in another illusion to do it all over again. It's not fun let me tell you and it's left us paranoid as hell.]

>I just don’t know what we can do! We are the son of the deceiver so… um… probably things connected to her? Maybe?
So, uh, duck the lamp but make here "see" hit you and you just go up in flames. Death screams if you want. then while she "sees" that have "you" walk up behind here and ask what the hell she is doing out here. When she turns to see the second "you" then turns back to see the first "you" that should be burning have it disappear without a trace expect for her lantern on the ground. Depending on what she does next well also set up our next course of action. Also the whole time this is happening hide in the woods out of sight. Since you're the son of the deceiver or whatever I'm guessing you have illusion powers. with the exception of me saying hide in the woods every time I said you I meant an illusion.

>>598921
The Deceiver is good at illusion and stealing memories. After dodging the lantern you could try reaching out to her mind, and going through her memories to find a psychological weakness.

The Deceiver produces lies... Duck under the lantern and create the illusion of running one direction while you actually sneak off in the other direction. If that's even possible.
>Daithi really is some kind of half demon!? But… I… we…
[Reply: Did you think we would joke about our king being a daemon!?
Diligent seems to think he can possibly be the same exact Daithi as Daithi, even though they're obviously thinking with different mindsets. While I doubt anybody can get out here quick enough to solve things on their side, help would still be VERY much appreciated. When Daithi suggested using Daemon powers, Diligent said that as the son of The Deceiver, they should have something similar to her power, so we'll see if he can create an illusion to throw this bully off track and buy the time needed for whoever you send to get here.]

>What? No! What part of “we’re the same being” don’t you understand!
I feel like there is at least a bit of distinction to be made, as Snake-Daithi has thoughts and some knowledge that Mantis-Daithi does not (like the extra time thing). That could come in handy though since it would let you think or concentrate about two different things (such as perhaps mundane fighting and demon magic) at the same time.

>DUCK!
AH!! I can’t du-
When I said that mother gave us more time I meant that she froze it for a moment.
Oh, right…
>First off, she probably can't see the beak-snake, otherwise she will flip out.
No one can see me because this form doesn’t actually exist. I’m just a part of our mind, Daithi. So… the only one I can manipulate is you.
>Looks like you'll have to learn to love yourself, Daithi.
Would that count as incest or masturbation? Hmm…
Joking aside, are you sure this thing even is-
I’m kind of part of your subconscious, so yeah… also, that thing you’re thinking about me changing forms? Yeah, I think I can do that.
Really? Hmm…
>I feel like there is at least a bit of distinction to be made, as Snake-Daithi has thoughts and some knowledge that Mantis-Daithi does not.
Actually, no. The only different is that I can remember things Daithi has repressed himself. You’ve always know what you are, haven’t you? You just couldn’t accept it.
Well, believing that you’re a demon is something crazy people do.
…and we’re not crazy?
Well… um… point…
>I guess I'll nickname your daemonic half 'Id' because it keeps asking you to eat people.
Actually, I’m the one trying to stop us from eating people. Who do you think have kept all those demon powers under control for our whole life?
…My whole life? I’ve been… wait… why d-
You already know the answer. We are more powerful thus need more energy…
…and we’re more powerful because Teal is here! You said we would get more powerful when you choose us as king, didn’t you!?
>so, can you trust yourself?
You’re crazy! Of course not!
I’ve never trusted myself before so…
>Don't eat the bully.
But look at her… with that fat rump and well trained legs… I can already imagine how it would feel like when she struggling as I-
‘Oy! Don’t make me bite you again!
Right… don’t eat… don’t eat anyone…
Err… actually, we are going to have to eat someone sooner or later… um… actually, we probably need to consume someone before tomorrow night, or we’ll starve to death. So… being practical it would maybe be for the best to consume someone we hate… maybe?
Or I’ll find another way!
Well, we can always try to find a bandit or a shape stealer or something to eat… but don’t get our hopes up.

>Keep those red eyes going, slow time or improve reflexes enough so that you can turn around and catch the lantern, then grow Shapechanger tenacles and shout 'BIG GODDAMN MISTAKE'.
I don’t think that would be a great idea…
Yeah, giving her a heart attack might be a bit much.
Not considering that if she got back to the city she’ll report you to the inquisition… and I’m pretty sure you’ll set of all their detection spells from now on.
>So, uh, duck the lamp but make here "see" hit you and you just go up in flames.
Err… I’m not sure we can create such an advance illusion…
>you could try reaching out to her mind, and going through her memories to find a psychological weakness.
…
…
…
…well, it would be awesome if it worked… but… um… I’m guessing you have no clue how to do that, right?
If you don’t know I don’t know.
>The Deceiver produces lies... Duck under the lantern and create the illusion of running one direction while you actually sneak off in the other direction. If that's even possible.
Rigth, a quick shape would be doable… well then, ready?
I’ll duck on three… two… one… OH CRA- *Trip!* damn momentum…

*Crack!*

Ow, she kicked me…
Tripped over your barely visible form.

She seems to be bleeding rather profoundly from a rather gruesome head wound… but… she is breathing…
…oh, great… I’m in the middle of nowhere with someone that’s bleeding to death and is twice my weight… what do we do now!? We can’t just leave her here to die!
…well, we should always… um… I… I can’t come up with anything good, sorry…
…ugh… and I’m barely able to stand up...
That’s just the lack of energy speaking. Don’t worry, it’s starting to consume your own soul for emergency fuel right now.
WHAT!?
At least, that what I think is happening… we’re growing weaker rather quickly right now…
I… but… uh…
Steady, you don’t want to fall unconscious right now…

Insert Running out of fuel! Quick, drink an energy drink!_

>[White: Really? That’s great! That means you know what to do, right!?]
[find a steady food source that isn't people, last time chickens worked, make sure others we trust don't attack Daithi out of fear for something that was beyond his control, then give Daithi some space to come to terms with this new development while using the rest of our pawns as lookouts mostly to make sure there isn't anything else that demands our attention while we try and get everything stable.]

>[White: If I can find you! Do you have any light or something I can follow?]
maybe, we kinda ditch our light to hide but we could relight it if we can find it again.

Ok, Diligent, we need to know, How long does Daithi have before he starves like you said, and why has this only been a problem now? Also will chickens work for a food source? I mean last time something like this happened we could stave off the hunger with chickens so wonder if we can do so again. Also how do we stop the glowing red eye thing. We have white looking for us and we might actually be able to save the bitch her without eating her and get Daithi some help by relighting the lanterns, still would like the red eyes to stop though because I'm not sure who white sent to look for us... or purple, plus Atena's guards are looking for us as well. I mean if we're not on deaths door step, I say just find one of the ditched lanterns, relight it, wait for help, claim the bitch tripped chasing Daithi and Daithi is simply tired from running, go back to the dorms, and get Libby to help us out with this since she's part deamon as well.

Ah, dammit... Okay, see if you can light the lantern again, White is on her way, and she's probably bringing Purple along with. Some good to be found in the situation: Her pain, the emotion of it, is still food. Not as much as her body, but it should be enough to keep you going for the time being.
[@White & Purple: Negative repercussions of our appearance before Daithi; the sudden boost in strength he got meant he used up more energy, Daemon type. I don't suppose there's, like, a dungeon or colosseum somewhere, where he can get an overabundance of emotion? Because otherwise, we'll have to send him out to consume Shapestealers and Bandits, which still doesn't sound right to me.]

>>598999
She's going to die anyway, and you're going to die if you don't eat someone. Plus, she just tried to kill you. Eat her. It is your only option.
[@White: Uh, nevermind. Problem solved. Don't tell Purple, but Daithi will have to occasionally eat people for the rest of his life. He'll just have to make sure he can find people that deserve it. We lucked out today on that front, considering the bully was trying to murder him.]

...Well, we certainly opened a can of worms with our choice, didn't we.
She won't make it. We called the authorities long before this happened and it looks like it's gonna be matter of luck IF they were to get here in time to see you eat her, much less to save her.

[scan corruption]
Give cedric a chance to help. Can you light one of the lanterns or something? If White doesn't come through you can eat the bully, but cannibalism should be an absolute last resort.

And after this is over, we are never entering the forest for any reason. Ever.

Wait, wasn´t it said that demons primarily feed of emotions. You know, the bread and grapes metapher Bob mentioned, which Justice said the reverse is true.

Before we fully consume her, even if she´s a bitch shouldn´t we try to feed of her pain? Considering she´s in a lot of it now?

>>599017
Consuming their entire soul feeds a Daemon more, it's just that they don't normally need to eat that much unless they're spending a TON of energy. In Daithi's case, he's probably not using that much energy, but he also hasn't been feeding.

Oh just eat the bitch! She was going to kill you for fuck sake, if that doesn't justify eating her then what does?

>>599075
It's justified, but that doesn't mean he won't regret it. What you are in the dark and all that.

Daithi, despite your hunger and what she did and as much as you won't like it, you should show you're the better person and give her the chance, albeit terribly slim, of being saved. Only when it's sure that help isn't going to arrive in time and she's going to die for sure should you eat her. ...And considering how severe her head wound is I don't think you'll have to wait long.

I don't know much about mantis anatomy, so correct me if I'm wrong, but the only place that much blood could have come from is her brain, right? So the blunt impact likely smashed her head in in a crater pattern, lacerating the brain with pieces of chitin in addition to the impact causing major bruising of the brain which would also bleed and since the brain is chock full of blood vessels the wound is positively gushing blood. So with all the blood pushing out applying pressure to the wound to staunch the bleeding isn't going to be that effective and would also apply pressure to her brain as well as push the blood back into her cranial cavity, causing even more pressure on her brain. I'm not saying don't try to staunch the bleeding, but unless she gets a major healing potion applied within the next five minutes she's probably going to die or at least end up a brain dead vegetable.

Now, pull your gloves off, press them against her head wound to start to staunch the bleeding then leave them for a moment to get the lantern you dropped as quick as you can; You're unsteady on your feet so crawling might be safer so you don't trip and injure yourself. We need that lantern 'cause we contacted White for help as soon as the bully showed up, and she in turn contacted Purple, so they're both on their way but they need a light to see where you are. Once you've got it lit put it on the rock next to the bully and resume applying pressure to her wound. If her breathing gets weak or stops and no help can be seen coming within sight then snuff out the lantern and eat her before she dies.

If you have ANY illusions or other non-vital energy drains right now you should stop them immediately, including any your subconscious put up 'cause you couldn't face what you are. You need to conserve every bit of energy you can now, so no exceptions to what you stop.

Hey, snake-Dai, how'd The Deceiver know to drop that time stop? Is she watching right now? Is she watching through Dai's eyes?

>But look at her… with that fat rump and well trained legs… I can already imagine how it would feel like when she struggling as I-
...Ugh, Dai, you sound like how a vore fetishist writes when you think like that. Please, stop it. You do not want your lust inadvertently getting crossed with your hunger here.

I'm thinking that going forward the best, most guilt-free and least problematic option of those to eat are the totally, irrevocably corrupted and hostile such as Shape Stealers, cultists and lunatics. Next choice down would be the worst condemned prisoners who're sentenced to death; Those who've committed murder without remorse and suchlike. After them bandits would be a possibility, but we'd have to be careful to only get the ones who've killed before. The last option I can think of would be those who're going to die very soon no matter what such as the terminally ill or mortally wounded. And in every case knocking them out beforehand so they don't feel pain, preferably with a tranquilizer, would be for the best. Oh, and there's also the Undead Energy Sources; They're mindless undead in tanks that're subjected to painful magical stimuli to generate emotional energy. We came across them before powering the flawed Harvester body the guardian daemon of the Vault of the Greater Elemental Rune of Fire was occupying. Unfortunately the only UESes near hear are probably in the Vault for the Greater Rune of Earth and those would be keeping Libby's flawed Harvester body going.

[@White: Well, this just got both easier and harder. Dai's safe from the bully now, but only 'cause he tripped in the dark and she tripped over him and bashed her head on a rock. She's has a grievous head wound that's bleeding profusely but she's still breathing. We need you to bring medical supplies, but I have a feeling with such a wound she's not going to make it. If her breathing flags or stops and help is nowhere in sight we're going to have Dai eat her. Yes it's gruesome, but Dai has run completely through his energy reserves and is starting to burn his own soul to keep going; He's already on the verge of passing out and won't last another day without eating. And considering she's going to die anyway and she outright said she was going to murder Dai and dump his body in the swamp, then threw a heavy lantern at his head when he tried to flee that would have hit if not for The Deceiver freezing time, we don't have many qualms about it.]

[@White: Daithi thinks he's figured out why he's gotten hungry like this now and we agree with him: It's because of us, Teal. We make our pawns stronger, so we made Daithi a more powerful daemon with greater energy needs which outstripped what he could get from just the ambient emotional energy. So until we figure out another source of emotional energy he's going to have to consume mortal souls to get it.]

>[White: Really? That’s great! That means you know what to do, right!?]
[Reply: Not really, no. Unfortunately my fellow voice is mis-remembering what happened. Back then we were with a lich so any soul or life energy would do for sustenance, making animals a viable option. But Daithi is a daemon, and daemons need to feed on emotional energy which the souls of animals do not have, or at least not anywhere in the quantity he needs. And thinking about it, if daemons could subsist by eating dumb livestock they would have done that, but they don't so they can't. And that means don't bother bringing chickens unless the coop is right on the way.]

>[White: If I can find you! Do you have any light or something I can follow?]
[Reply: We have the lantern Dai was carrying. It went out when he dropped it, but it looks intact so it should be as simple as relighting it.]

Of course they don’t… you guys said this was a game world or something, right? Of course they would remove loopholes like that then!
>Wait, wasn´t it said that demons primarily feed of emotions.
Well, yeah… that’s what we’ve been doing since we were born twenty years ago. It’s just… we’re suddenly growing too quickly for just emotions to be enough.
>And after this is over, we are never entering the forest for any reason. Ever.
I agree! This forest is dead to me!

>Can you light one of the lanterns or something?
There…
>I don't know much about mantis anatomy, so correct me if I'm wrong, but the only place that much blood could have come from is her brain, right?
That’s correct, yeah.
Well, we do have some blood veins in the head too but… dammit, why didn’t I pay more attention in biology.
Err… we did, we just never assumed we needed to know where all the blood in the head is.
>So the blunt impact likely smashed her head in in a crater pattern, lacerating the brain with pieces of chitin in addition to the impact causing major bruising of the brain which would also bleed and since the brain is chock full of blood vessels the wound is positively gushing blood.
Hmm… I don’t know… I don’t think she got pieces of chitin lodged in there but… err…
She is bleeding a lot… is that normal for head wounds?
>Now, pull your gloves off, press them against her head wound to start to staunch the bleeding.
Well, there’s one pair of gloves I’ll never wear again…
>Before we fully consume her, even if she´s a bitch shouldn´t we try to feed of her pain? Considering she´s in a lot of it now?
It’s not enough… besides, she’s unconscious so she isn’t ac-
Wait, I’m pretty sure pain receptors doesn’t give a shit about you being conscious or not to feel them.
I know it’s weird, but apparently it’s not the chemical reaction in the brain we feed on, but the actual emotion… somehow…
Dammit, why can’t these things make sense like science does? Or magic!?

>If her breathing gets weak or stops and no help can be seen coming within sight then snuff out the lantern and eat her before she dies.
…I… maybe it’s for the best… maybe…
>White is on her way, and she's probably bringing Purple along with.
But…
>She's going to die anyway, and you're going to die if you don't eat someone. Plus, she just tried to kill you. Eat her. It is your only option.
Maybe she deserve this…?
>If White doesn't come through you can eat the bully, but cannibalism should be an absolute last resort.
Maybe she can be saved…?
>She won't make it. We called the authorities long before this happened and it looks like it's gonna be matter of luck IF they were to get here in time to see you eat her, much less to save her.
…
>Daithi, despite your hunger and what she did and as much as you won't like it, you should show you're the better person and give her the chance, albeit terribly slim, of being saved.
…She deserves…
>Oh just eat the bitch! She was going to kill you for fuck sake, if that doesn't justify eating her then what does?
I don’t…
>It's justified, but that doesn't mean he won't regret it. What you are in the dark and all that.
I don’t know…

This has gone on for long enough! First he terrorizes those innocent puppies when he put out that fire at the cute puppy orphanage, then he traumatized that kid when he threw him off the train track just before the train came! What’s next, going to war with the poor by eliminating poverty? No, Spider man has gone too far!

I need a way to take care of spider man permanently! Something more than just pictures off him! No, I need a plan… a grand plan to deal with that menace once and for all! But… how?

[You now have control over J. Jonah Jameson! Time to defeat that spider menace!]

Insert I need pictures, pictures of J. Jonah Jameson!_

>>599156
It's time. Time for JJ's Bizarre Adventure. Summon your Stand and do battle with Spiderman.

Hint: his weakness is bullets.

> 666.png
uh oh.

J JONAH JAMESON: ask that Peter kid for advice, he goes to school or whatever. Make him use those brains! Plus, he took some pictures of the web-slinging fiend, he'll know something.

Contact The Punisher, he's a hero you can trust, because he doesn't wear a mask. i also hear he is an avid reader of your paper.

I don't think The Punisher will work out; he'll just be awkward for the first few appearances and then will get several terrible series and it'll just be embarrassing for everyone.

Summon... the Care Bears! He'll never see it coming. Or perhaps Underdog. Moose and Squirrel?

It's time we finally abduct Peter Parker, he always seems to know where Spiderman will strike next, you just need to interrogate him so you can lay a trap for the horrible little wall crawler.

Actually it's about time JJ finally owned up to his secret crush on Peter Parker.

I have the perfect plan! First we will secretly fund a spider super-soldier program run by Oscorp, the will only produce one female Spiderwoman prototype who will try several times to kill Spiderman, but after she fails all all the attempts to kill him Spiderman will figure out about the Oscorp program and shut it down, leaving Spiderwoman as the only one left from the program. Spiderwoman will then try several more times to kill Spiderman for revenge but ultimately fail and in a side store arc completely unrelated to Spiderman she will become a good guy and a hero and over the course of say six to seven years her and Spiderman will grow close eventually leading to a romance. Then one day after having sex she will eat him! ITS BRILLIANT!

You know what eats spiders? Birds. You must become a bird-themed vigilante. Be the shadow that peeps in the night!

Clearly, we need someone to hack his cellphone to get the hummiliating selfies and tasteless amateurporn.

Hmm… interesting… those at Oscorp has always been reliable… go on…
>The will only produce one female Spiderwoman prototype who will try several times to kill Spiderman, but after she fails…
Wait… first off, don’t we want her too succeed? Second, isn’t creating another Spiderman kind of the opposite of what I want?
>In a side store arc completely unrelated to Spiderman she will become a good guy and a hero and over the course of say six to seven years her and Spiderman will grow close eventually leading to a romance.
See, now I suddenly got two spiders to menace me! …and seven years!? I was thinking more like killing him before afternoon tea.
>Then one day after having sex she will eat him! ITS BRILLIANT!
But then she will become the new spider menace, won’t she!? And what if she gets kids!? Do you know how many kids spiders get!? There would be spider menaces everywhere!

>You know what eats spiders? Birds. You must become a bird-themed vigilante. Be the shadow that peeps in the night!
So you want me to become what I hate to fight what I hate? …I’m pretty sure fighting fire with lighter fuel will just make a bigger fire…
>Contact The Punisher, he's a hero you can trust, because he doesn't wear a mask. i also hear he is an avid reader of your paper.
A splendid idea! The punisher is a moral upstanding character if I ever saw one!
Hey, this is the punisher. I’m sorry, I can’t talk right now, I’m busy hunting criminals on the stre- HEY I SAW THAT! How dare you litter! DIE!!! *Pistol fire!* Jaywalking while running away from me!? Punishable with DEATH!! *Machine gun fire!* Speeding!? Eat a missile! *Swoosh… BOOM!!* So, yeah… I’m kind of bu- holy crap, are those multi-colored bears? I’ll have to call you back. *BEEP*
Ah, of course he would be busy bringing justice to the people.
>Summon... the Care Bears! He'll never see it coming.
Hello, you have reached the care bears inc. We’re sorry; we cannot talk right now as we’re about the kick the ass of some punk with a skull shirt who is firing wildly around him. Please call back later. HEY ASSHOLE! TASTE THE RAINBOW, MOTHER FUC- *BEEP*
Seems like I’ll be alone on this one…

Yes, it’s time to show of my stance! The “I shoot you dead with a gun” stand!
Hey! That’s a rip-off of my stand, the emperor!
Wait, Hol Horse? What are yo- no, see… mine is different. It can actually hit people.
But-
That’s not myself, Hol.
Well, I did send that terrorist protagonist straight to McDonalds, if that counts…
…I… what? How does that eve- you mean that African guy? What, no, he survived and was later killed by vanilla ice while chilling in a casket.
…Now you’re talking crazy talk! I don’t have time for crazy talk! I need to go back to Texas so I can shoot things at random with mah guns! Because ‘merica, fuck yeah! Now, where did I park my horse?
…right, let’s never speak of this again.

Hey, peter! I need to ask you something.
Yeah?
…wait, why is your icon Spiderman? …and your name Spiderman!?
Um… you’re not supposed to see those, sir…?
Hmm…
>It's time we finally abduct Peter Parker, he always seems to know where Spiderman will strike next, you just need to interrogate him so you can lay a trap for the horrible little wall crawler.
…that’s it… why haven’t I seen it before! It’s so obvious! It’s been right in front of me all these years. What with his love for Spiderman, all those selfie photos of Spiderman he always takes and that icon! It’s so simple! See, Spiderman is owned by marvel… and DC is their main competitor… and Batman is part of the DC universe… bats are mammals… hippos are also mammals… hippos probably like to hang out with flamingos… flamingos is sometimes associated with gay men… therefore… Peter Parker must be Spiderman secret gay lover! …not that there’s anything wrong with that… either way, how do I use this new information? I still have my stand “I shoot you dead with a gun”… Hmmm… maybe I should abduct him... but how?

Err… sir? You’re kind of creeping me out staring like that…

Insert No one will get the McDonalds thing…_

:Hoytvolker: POKER NIGHT!!! Tell me Peter, do you know the secret to keeping employees happy?

Perfect plan. Shoot Perter Parker dead with your gun. He'll never see it coming.

And then Spider Man will notice no one is taking his picture anymore, and he'll come after you. Then you shoot him dead with your gun.

It's a perfect plan!

HEY JJJ! What about my plan?
It goes like this: first I invent the internet, then I make a documentary about global warming, then I blah blah blah blah blah blah Radioactive toe jam blah blah blah blah blah blah mutant seals blah blah blah blah blah blah the Miley Cyprus blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah return of our alien overlords blah blah blah blah blah blah the [b]second[b/] holocaust blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and then i will become the new Cyborg president of the United States and I can get the Ninja Secret Service to find out who Spiderman is.

Well then clearly what you have to do is seduce Peter. It will either cause Spider-man to become despondent or go into a jealous rage and make a critical error. First things first, you need to find out who's the top in the relationship and adjust your approach accordingly.

Isn’t the internet already invented? I mean, I even got the all the tubes down in the basement and everything… and I’m pretty sure Global Warming is a myth! Just like those old Scandinavian gods like Thor and Loki...
But… what about Florida then?
Florida got swallowed by the sea because those fat bastards got too fat, sinking the whole state into the sea, not because the rising sea level… that just a myth! Just like the acid rain that’s eating through my car right now! It doesn’t exist!
