A female, so we can reuse the boo-bees pun to un-death.

Webmaking.

Webs, wall-walking, paralytic venom. Also you shall be Lavender.

This is excellent!

I like the name Lavender.

I dunno if fluffy counts as a power but I want it nonetheless

Spiders have to know how to make webs, plus only the spookiest spiders have venom.

Lavender sounds like a good name.

Leaping. Fuck spinning webs and waiting around. We HUNT for our food!

Fluffy and webs.

>>814482
Lavender is a good name.

Good idea >>814509
I would like to add pounce to my list of abilities.

Poison and webmaking, we're a spider, so what else is in the other section?

Poisonous, leaping, fluffy webmaking spider! And her name is Lavender!

>Lavender! Lavender looks like she likes that name. She has the following capabilities:

> LEAP - Move a great distance in a single bound! It allows for sudden bursts of movement that would otherwise be dodgeable.

> FLUFFY - Covered in a soft set of fuzz, she is soft to the touch. This also acts as an insulator, keeping her temperature regulated.

> POISON - 3 different types of toxins are present in her fangs! Aphrodisiac, Paralyzing, and Neurotoxin. They are fairly self explanatory.

> WEAVER - Lavender has the ability to create both sticky and nonsticky silk, for the creation of ropes, webs, traps, nets, and so on.

Foyer. We should get info before doing anything else.

Before you leave, make a net out of web and disguise it as a cape or doily on your back. If necessary, we can pull it off and throw it at someone (as part of an attack, or to facilitate attack).

>The door creaks open very slowly, before a torrent of mice floods out, washing away what appears to be a book or two and some glass vials in a flash flood of squeaking, furry bodies that press uncomfortably against Lavender for a moment. Inside of the room, standing atop a pair of massive books, next to an even more massive bookcase that is so full that books seem to be creaking with the way they're shoved in there, is a being no more than 3 feet tall. The room itself is filled with an acrid, distinctly acidic smell, and all sorts of beakers and bottles fill the otherwise still very cluttered shelves, all sorts of various ingredients seem to line the shelves, stacked haphazardly atop books and other glass vials, leaking and ruining pages. Not only that, the sheer amount of rats and mice that are present is almost staggering. They skitter through the walls, under the floorboards, and over pages of what appears to be very sloppy research.

[???] Close the door, close the door! In or out! Can't afford more of my precious lovelies getting out...

Oh, we're sorry! That's uh, a lot of mice you got there. And there. And everywhere. What are you researching?

[PEABODY]
Dateability: 4/10
Snuff: 7/10
Snoot: 10/10
Short: 10/10

[PEABODY] is a Plague Doctor, a HORROR type monster. They really enjoy WEIRD POTIONS, and having a metric SHIT TON of RATS around them at all times. They're self conscious about their HEIGHT and probably have a lot of INFECTIOUS DISEASES. They spend most of their time looking up BAD SCIENCE and trying to find cures for FAKE ILLNESSES. They're quite close to finding a cure for THE BEES KNEES

[PEABODY] : So, what brings you into my lab, huh? Haven't seen you around before. You new? My name's Peabody. Don't wear it out, I don't have any back ups for it yet!

Say yes, you are new, and you just wanted to go around and introduce yourself to everybody. Hello! You picked his door first because it seemed friendly! Was this a correct assessment?

Ask him, if he pleases, if there's anybody who would be especially bothered by a spider coming to visit? Or who would especially bother a spider who came to visit!

> The short figure idly mixes two potions together while they're talking, seeming semi distracted from them and more focused on Lavender. As they talk, they potion begins to glow a brilliant green color.

[PEABODY] : Well, that's awful nice of you! Last one that showed up didn't even bother to introduce herself! Just weirdly quiet. Nice other than that though.

[PEABODY] : I Don't think anyone here would bother you, to be precise! And if anyone is bothered by you, I hope it's those dang intruders. Lousy no good...

>Peabody chucks one of the two potions at the wall, where it shatters, and one of the rats is splashed by the mixture. They seem to double in size and turn a foul greenish color, becoming almost ghoulish in appearance, before letting out a ugly, almost human sounding chuckle.

[PEABODY] : Those dang intruders always messing up my stuff! ...Wait have you been to the foyer yet? You probably don't know about some stuff if you haven't. Dang. Well! You'll learn in time regardless.

Intruders?

I wonder if we could make some kind of web-net or fence to put in front of the door, so he doesn't lose as many rats when people come and go. Like a pet gate.

>>814658
That's adorable. Let's ask him if he wants us to first?

And then make our way to the foyer for this information, since we're new here and all.

Yeah offer to make a web net and to help chase off the intruders. Ask about those potions too.

>Peabody chuckles at the suggestion, and shakes their head slowly side to side. As they do so, their entire body seems to move with them, further cementing the idea that the being is in fact just a mask, with everything else either surreptitiously attached or simply left to float nearby.

[PEABODY] : Oh, no, don't worry about it. The rats can crawl out through the walls and floorboards if they so chose. Besides, have you seen how shabby that door is? They can just crawl out the cracks if they wanted! No, they gather here because they like me. You'll learn about the intruders in due time. After all, it's why all of us are here! To take care of those pesky intruders...

> The question about potions piques Peabody's interest, almost causing him to drop the one he has in hand. He fumbles a little, looking embarrassed about it for a moment, before piping up again.

[PEABODY] : Uh! My potions aren't cheap! But they can do pretty much anything to be honest. Really depends on what you want them for. Tell you what, if you give me a few ingredients, I could mix one for you! All the ingredients should be easily found in the garden. All you have to do is go gather them for me! The recipe book should be over there.

> The Recipe Book Peabody has pointed out is covered in all sorts of scribblings and goop to the point you can't actually make out any recipes from rat dung. You could point this out, but it doesn't seem like the best idea... Maybe someone else will have a recipe you can use?

She wobbles through the thick vines, until she finds the source of the oddly alluring scent, and also, coincidentally, the source of the vines. The garden itself is comprised mostly of this curious greenery, from which all sorts of various types of fruits grow. Apples, Oranges, Grapes, Bananas, Ananas - (also known as Pineapples), Lemons, Limes, you name it and it grows here. The gardener does not seem too fond of cutting any of them down.

[???] Well well well! A new, insectoid face in town! It was about time we got someone relating to creepy crawlies, and Jerry doesn't count, no matter how much he gives me the jeebies...

[ODDRIE] is a Carnivorous Plant Monster, and classifies as, just like Audrey, a VISCERAL type monster. He's quite the GOURMAND, and thoroughly enjoys WELL PREPARED FOODS. He's a master of HYPNOTISM, as both his PHEROMONES and his SIREN LIKE VOICE lure people in close so he can attack. He's surprisingly fond of most INVERTEBRATES, except for FLIES, which he has an ODD CRAVING for. it is his not so secret SHAME. He spends most of his time in, and being a PART OF, the GARDEN, since he is entirely IMMOBILE.

>>814698
Oh, I walked right by him. How rude of me.

No flies, huh? Maybe we should make a web here to catch some.

Introduce yourself, then correct them and say that you're an arachnid, not an insect. Then ask for their name.

Also, you've heard about intruders around here somewhere and you were wondering if they know more about that.

Hehe. Well it's awful considerate of you not to zonk me out of my mind.

[TOBLERONE] Intruders is,well, in a word, humans! See, this here house has quite the history attached to it. Some say there's a legendary treasure hidden deep within the bowels of the place. Which, by the way, is totally false. Course, anyone that goes lookin' for the treasure mysteriously vanishes. ...That's 'cause of us. See, this is one of the few places we monsters can exist, and we monsters enjoy our peace and quiet. Why do you think we hide under beds, or deep in the woods, or underneath the stairs? Because no one other than a easily spooked child or an absolute looney will look there randomly, so we can have some peace. Anyway, due to the myths someone put here long ago we get some treasure hunters comin' round lookin' for the treasure. So we gotta scare 'em off or kill 'em.

[TOBLERONE] : Other residents? Well. We got Victora, Vampire. Real relaxed,she is. Lovely girl. Daisy, the Statue. Really gets into the spooky vibe, that one. Reginald, Fungal Invader. Snooty. Peabody, You've already met Peabody. Teleste, Real quiet, but a great cuddler. Saint John, he's over in the corner there. Oddrie, You already met him, too. Jerry, kinda brooding. Maltilda, You'd figure someone so big wouldn't get stuck between couch cushions. Crackle, real serious type. 8bit, bit goofy, does the spooky outta nowhere bit well. Oh, and some new guy. Can't remember their name too well, they live in the submarine hatch in the hallway.

> TOBLERONE snickers when you ask about dateability.

[TOBLERONE] : Whaddya think it is, you goof? It's your compatability for romantic relationships, sexual or otherwise! I'm always a 9/10 no matter what your type, because I'm just that good of a smooth talker. Really know how to use what I've got, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Apparently Lavender's a visceral type. What does that mean?

Do you know any potion recipes? We didn't have any luck reading Peabody's book.

And lastly, how should Lavender help with getting rid of the intruders?

Can you tell us what Lavender's Metadata says about her to you? Do you mind if we put a few webs up around the place? Since our old room folded up into nothingness, are there any spots we can set up for snoozing? Aside everyone's personal pursuits, is there anything we all do for fun together around here? And, of course, is there anything anyone needs any help with? Any errands or chores a spider girl could do to show her desire to get along with her new housemates?

Lavender: Wave to the suit of armor.

he certainly is charming, but think we should see everyone at least once before we decide on a dating goal.

>>814762
Have any intruders come by with weapons that could hurt us? I'd hate to think that they're not here for the "treasure", but instead are here simply for the sake of hunting down and killing monsters for sport!

[TOBLERONE] WOAH there! Lotta questions! Hold on, lessee.

>Toblerone clears his throat, adjusting the floppy looking tie as he does so. In the meantime, Lavender waves to the suit of armor, which ever so faintly turns it's head in response. The creaking noise indicates it's deceptively rusty at the hinges.

[TOBLERONE] Monsters come in 3 VARIATIONS: HORROR, MENTAL, and VISCERAL. Horror monsters, Like Peabody, rely entirely on the fear factor of whatever they've got going on. Hanging innards, shit ton of rats slimy wet skin, pallid complexion, so on. They they do best against intruders that are resistant to VISCERAL, because someone confident in their brawn can easily have their confidence brought low through repeated scaring. MENTAL monsters, like myself, are adept at changing how someone perceives the surrounding area. Bloody endless hallways, looping rooms, walking horrors. If we were comparing Horror Monsters to Mental Monsters, it's be comparing a traditional haunted house to Silent Hill. Mental monsters do best against people resistant to HORROR, due to the fact that their firm belief in reality is what makes them resistant to horror in the fist place. VISCERAL monsters are the most straightforward. Rip and Tear. You're the ones that injure and maim, kill and mutilate. You do best against those resistant to MENTAL, because willpower doesn't do shit if your arms off.

[TOBLERONE] : Well there aren't actually any intruders IN here right now, so you don't really have to worry about that! Usually we uh, let 'em linger for about 3 hours, and see if the atmosphere doesn't spook 'em off before we try to. I've never seen a bonafide monster hunter here, because no one comes up here except for treasure or on a dare. We don't really leave loose ends, y'know? Bad form to send someone back blabbing about what a specific monster looks like. If we do show ourselves it's usually when dealing the final blow or in passing, to make the intruder think we're part of the psyche. Did get a priest in once to cleans the place though! That was an interesting experience.

[TOBLERONE] You could set up your 'dwelling' pretty much anywhere in the house, really! It'd essentially add an extra set of options from whichever living suite you chose. (Those are, by the way, the LOUNGE, the HALLWAY, the COURTYARD, and the FOYER.) ...Wait, there's... Another one you can get to if you want but you have to jump through hoops to get to it! I'd recommend meeting everyone first in the main house before you tried to get to the 'secret' area though. Though it's not so much secret as... fuckhard to get to.

[TOBLERONE] Potions? Ah, Peabody said he'd make you one, huh? I do have a recipe on me, but the ingredients don't just come from the garden. You'd have to ask around to get 'em.

[RECIPE: MEMORY OF INSANITY]

[REQUIRES: 1x Memory strand, 1x Parapadsca Bean, 3x Human Eyes, 1x Banana, 1x Foul Ichor] [MADE AT: Potion Brewery]

[TOBLERONE] : Which reminds me, Peabody's not the only one that makes stuff. There's 3 of 'em, total, in the house that you can bring recipes to.

[TOBLERONE] : Personally, I'd love it if you introduced yourself to everybody! You do that, and I'll give you a little hint on something, alright?

[TOBLERONE]: Oh, and, Here's Lavender's Metadata.

[LAVENDER]
Dateability: ???/10
Legs: 8/10
Eggs: 0/10
Preg: 0/10

[LAVENDER] is a VISCERAL type monster. She's very new to the HAUNTED HOUSE, and is one of the few monsters with the ability to REPRODUCE. Becoming a SPIDER QUEEN is hard work, though. Her likes are determined by the SUGGESTION metadata, as are her DISLIKES. She gets ANTSY if there's a STALEMATE for too long.

So, our room kind of disappeared when we exited it. How do we lay claim to our own little corner to spin a nice web hammock? Also, where do visitors usually get hunted down? That's where we'd like to spin our web, and far away enough from Oddrie that there's enough flies to go around.

>>814830
Have you ever let an adventurer just search through the entire house, so that they'd come back empty handed saying there's no treasure? That would mean less people would come by.
Who owns the property? Ever had someone come by to buy it? Or demolish it?
Ever had someone come by who's more interested in the supernatural elements than anything else? Like someone who wants to meet ghosts or monsters?

Let's investigate the suit of armor next, I bet that's another monster.

>>814833

[TOBLERONE] : If you wanna set up a room, you just sorta... shuffle on over to where you wanna set it up, point out the place, and do it. Course I'd suggest getting to know everyone before you settled down! Settling around people you like is the best way to get good neighbors.

[TOBLERONE] : We can't allow someone to just check the house, simply put. A treasure hunter would search every nook and cranny, which means, of course, eventually they'd find one of us, and if we don't react to that, suddenly we're bigfoot, bein' hunted down at every moment, Never any peace. It's a pity.

[TOBLERONE] The place has gotten enough history with enough people that leave before 3 hours that it's become sort of a town signature. People are forbidden to go here, of course, but they can't demolish it, or property values would fluctuate wildly. Haunted Houses that are famous enough don't get knocked down. No one has owned it in a while, cept for the town, but hey, that's why I'm head of household. Intruders can be found pretty much anywhere in the house by the time their 3 hours are up, so. No real specific place they can be found.

[TOBLERONE] : Don't be a stranger now!

[SAINT JOHN] : Greetings, dear Lavender! I am Saint John. I overheard your conversation with Toblerone. It is a distinct Pleasure to meet you for the first time.

> Saint John does a creaky little bow after a moment, seeming both soft spoken and incredibly polite. They also have a slight old english accent, though the various voices speaking in unison make it harder to make out.

[SAINT JOHN]

[SAINT JOHN] is a creaky old HORROR type monster that's been around the manor for AGES. He possesses the UNIQUE ability to make INANIMATE OBJECTS MOVE how he wishes them to. It's sort of like being a POLTERGEIST, only with less HEAD SPINNING. He is very PROPER and slightly UPTIGHT, and his definition of MANNERS is very strict. He is, however, blunt about telling you WHEN YOU'VE UPSET HIM.

>>814840
Isn't it a bit blasphemous for a monster to be named after a saint?

[SAINT JOHN] A Saint Bernard is not a true saint, is it? I too, abide by similar rules, simply put, I am a being which is merely NAMED 'Saint John' and am, unfortunate, not a real saint. To hold such a high position of authority within a church, blasphemous or otherwise, would be incredibly respectable.

I understand, Saint John. Sorry for the way Lavender talks - spiders have a head full of webs, and you never know when one of the thoughts flittering around will get tangled up and try to escape!

Do you know of anything that needs taking care of? Do you want Lavender to make any ropes, nets or other webby items for you to use your ability with?

>Saint John makes no response at first, before slowly shaking their head. They seem almost displeased with the idea after some thought, as evidenced by the tendrils they have peeking out of the suit's joints curling with disgust.

[SAINT JOHN] I have nothing of need from you. If you MUST put up spiderwebs, I do implore that you keep it to one specific corner of the house? I know there aren't any maids around here anymore, but making the place a more of a mess than before is still heartbreaking to me.

>>814864
Yeah alright, talk to you later.

Let's goooo check out the fountain. Then the woods.

I say! Dear Saint John, a spider's web well-spun is a thing of scintillating, geometrical beauty! They are not mess, unless left to become dusty and tattered, and Lavender will have none of that while she's around! It would only be a very lazy and wasteful spider who would fail to regularly eat their old webs and re-spin them. The very implication! Hmpf!

Ah, but one can't expect everyone to know the nuances of spider culture. We will surely make such errors ourselves against others! So, I forgive you, as I beg forgiveness for any offense we might cause ourselves.

Thank you for your time, Saint John!

Lavender: Contemplate tailoring skills and possibility of making clothes or furnishings.

An almost mermaid like body, only the skin is smooth to the touch, like an eel. It's missing a head, before it reaches back into the water, and pulls out what at first appears to be a clump of seaweed, before it hovers over the neck stump, which is bleeding some sort of ichor.

She's a little CLAMMY to the touch, and can MOVE BETWEEN DIFFERENT WATER SOURCES at will. She almost seems to ENJOY BEING SAD, and will decline attempts to CHEER HER UP. She is so set in her way of thinking that even HIGH END PRESCRIPTION DRUGS have no effect on her. She smells like FISH STICKS.

We'll just have to try harder to remember, then.

Talk of food is making me hungry. We've met lots of friends, now let's find some food.

Lavender finds herself wandering around for a long time, and the trees only seem to get taller and taller, far off the beaten path, the moss is a sickly dark green, starting to edge towards black, and the trees themselves seem to be coated in a fine layer of ash. The air itself is thick, and the distinct scent of slightly rotted flesh hits Lavender like a truck out of nowhere. A rustling behind her is punctuated by a surprisingly eloquent voice.

[???] Are you lost, my dear? Monsters do not usually stray as far from the house as you do...

Not lost, just going around the place finding people and introducing ourselves! Hello! Lavender's the name.

... Maybe a little lost. But spiders can find their way out of webs!

Since Lavender's likes are decided by us, I vote that she likes HUGGING and/or CUDDLING.

It sounds almost like a meat grinder, and the eerie silence of the woods echoes this noise ever so slightly. Once it has finished, it turns it's head very abruptly to the side, looking over Lavender with a single eye, clicking the tongue that seems to be within those uncannily human teeth. There is no noise for a pause, just the whistling of the wind and the rustling of the trees. If it were not standing directly in front of you, you would not be able to sense it in the slightest.

A spider is informed by that which is caught in her web. Silken stings vibrate and carry to the center.

Because we have what they can't. We are the stuff of dreams and nightmares- impossible and wonderful, but terrible and frightening as well.

>>814925

Humans fear us because causing fear comes so naturally to us. We wish for peace so that we don't have to. Not all the time, at least.

[???] Haha. You lot certainly are positively minded. No. Allow me to enlighten you. Monsters wish for peace because a peaceful environment, one humans feel comfortable in, is an ideal hunting ground. Humans fear monsters, because monsters feed on humans. Their Psyche. Monsters feed on the fear a human gives off, whether it be the primal fear of death, the terror of insanity, or the Sheer Horror of encountering something so strange, so alien, that it causes them to break. Monsters must feed upon this. Why do you think the Master of that house does not drive away any human as soon as they enter. Do you know what happens to a human that escapes from a monster, wounded but intact?

What they're saying is... True, however. We do feed on human fear. But we don't need much! A good monster can relax near someone and feed off the natural nightmares that occur, and people forget before they wake up. One of the best monsters in history was Baku, who was notorious for their peaceful lifestyle, and ate nothing but dreams. ...Admittedly we're a little indulgent here at the manor, but it is necessary. It can be months before we get intruders, and as much as any monster around here has varying opinions has humans, we all NEED them. ...Is that okay? You don't have to answer right away, you can mull on it when you get back.

Toblerone even said he'd give us a hint on something if we met everyone first and I think it could be a hint on how to get to that area!

Spelling the whole name out is so long. You can just call me "purple" if you want.

Lavender's new here and she's going around introducing herself to all her new neighbors! And while she's at it, asking if there's anything anyone wants doing. And if there's anything she should know that Toblerone wouldn't have mentioned.

Try the stitched up door. It might be Crackle if we're talking about a Frankenstein's monster. Gotta get that invisible bat!

Didn't Teleste say Crackle was in the LOUNGE ? we should go that way and get that invisible bat.

Oh right. Lounge sounds good then.

So long as we remember to eventually follow the bat quest, it's fine. It'd be more efficient to see everyone here before moving on to the lounge. So I'll say coffin door.

Coffin door! Let's finish exploring the hallway first

>After some slight deliberation on whether to exit to the Foyer and then head to the LOUNGE, Lavender instead decides to enter the COFFIN SHAPED DOOR, seeing as it's closer. It opens up into an unsurprisingly eloquent room, with incredibly ornate furniture seemingly carved from ivory, a fluffy bed with a threadcount in the high thousands, And various sets of masterful artwork. Lounging on the bed seems to be... a humanoid girl at first glance, though her skin is far too pale to actually be human. As she looks over she seems surprised, eyes widening and suspiciously pointed ears perking up.

[???] Oh dear! I wasn't expecting visitors! Oh, this is very embarrassing...

Wrong bat, silly!

[Victoria] : Wrong Bat? Well, I suppose if I'm the wrong bat, then I pity the right one! My name is Victoria, and I am our resident Vampire, only natural of a haunted house. A pleasure to make your acquaintance~

[VICTORIA] is a HORROR type monster that has slight VISCERAL tendencies, placing her in a HYBRID class. She's very fond of BLOOD, naturally, and is very good at GETTING it. She also has a fondness for REALLY BIG FROGS, especially ones full of PRIZES, and VALUE, and QUITE A LOT OF HATRED. She's supposed to be very PRIM and PROPER, as she grew up in the RENAISSANCE , but she's actually quite fascinated with MODERN CULTURE.

>Wrong Bat?
It was a joke. Teleste told us she was missing one of her invisible bats, which you clearly are not, visibility before mirrors notwithstanding.

And yours as well.

[VICTORIA] : I am... Well, one of the earliest members of this particular household, over 500 years or so ago when the place was built. It's quite the ancient place. And, I can actually see myself! The mirrors here are Aluminum, not silver. It was quite the shock for me the first time I saw myself! But it does make it easier to apply eyeshadow, you know?

[VICTORIA] : Frogs! And sometimes something like a... like a murdersaurus. It's quite the different experience than all the vampires, or draculas, or some sort of odd mansquitos that seem to appear around here.

> She giggles at some sort of unknown joke. Perhaps something or other that she happens to be referencing.

[VICTORIA] : Human blood, I'm afraid. Any other type simply won't do. After all, would you allow yourself to eat dog food? That's essentially the difference here. I certainly can drink other types of blood, but it's not very good, or even edible sometimes.

[VICTORIA] Aha! No, there's no Mansquitos around here. Nor are there Murdersauruses or Really Big Frogs.

>>815649
Kinda sucks to be enamored of something you have no access to.

>>815649
Really like your dress. You're very pleasant to talk to.

explain that if she needs any thread work done you would be happy to help. spider silk is simply the best, it is just impossible to get enough for anything from the regular sized spiders.

Well, we have ichor, anyway. Is that too different from blood? Probably doesn't matter. Anyway, yes, tailoring! Lavender is a little out of practice and may not be capable of weaving up to your high standards yet, but she'll need something to while away the hours between human intrusion, so it's something to aspire to!

I'll gladly accept your offer, but you'll have to find some sort of black or purple dye somewhere! It's got to be somewhere in this house, right...?

She could probably still write by dipping a finger in ink and drawing with that, but I guess that'd be awkward. We'll keep an eye out for anything that could help you express yourself, Daisy! And we've got eight of them. See you later!
