*Spider was awakened by a light tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see a strange mudokon sized creature dressed in all black looking down at him with a scowl*
DH: "Uhm, could I have my bed back, please?"
Spider: *lets out a long sigh* Alright...I didn't mean ter interude. I've had a bad day and needed ter rest a bit. *slides off the bed, ends up landing with his injured hand. He falls over screeching in pain. Hes lays on his side clutching his injured hand* {insert string of curse words here..}
DH: "Ouch. You okay?"*He kneels down beside Spider*
Spider: *after catching is breath, shows him his injury* could be better, ended up hurting myself while running from some bountyhunters...
DH: "Hmmm. I'm afriad all the medics left the village when some strange event deserted it."
Spider: *winces* don' like medics...they remind me ter much of my time in the labs..
DH: "I have some stuff with me that might help, though."
Spider: yer do? I would appreceate it..
*Dark Hood takes out a small bottle labled "Tea-tree" and a bag of yellow powder labelled "Tumeric" He opens the Tea-tree. It gives off a strong smell*
Spider: *crinkles his snout in disgust*
DH: "Yeah I know. The cats didn't like the smell when I put it on thier flea bites. Anyway, this may sting a little, but it'll get rid of any germs and prevent infection."
Spider: Here let me take my glove off *he winces as he pulls off his glove*
DH: "Okay, you ready? Brace yourself, and try not to move around too much."
Spider: *clutches his teeth and braces himself*
*DH holds Spiders hand as he gently applies the tea-tree*
Spider: *closes his eyes and grunts in pain, but manages to hold still*
*Dark Hood puts away the tea tree*
DH: "I'll let that absorb before putting the tumeric on. The tumeric will help the wound heal up. Works wonders. However, I gotta apply it three times a day."
Spider: I'm not goin' anywhere...I can't walk on it until it heals..
DH: "I thought sligs had metal legs?"
Spider: I der, but I was repairing them when i was ambushed. I had ter leave 'em
DH: "What's your name anyway?"
Spider: Spider
DH: "Ah. You're certainly unlike any BBS I've seen."
Spider: *chuckles lightly* I'm a crossbreed
DH: "Oh. Another crossbreed."
Spider: yer dealt with other 'breeds befer?
DH: "Yeah. Pyke has its share of strange creatures coming into it. I remember that strange scrab crossbreed thing. Dunno what happend to it."
Spider: are there any sligs that were formerly working for the Cartel here?
DH: "There were at one point, but most of them left. I think there's still one or two around."
Spider: *moans* wonderful....
DH: "I haven't seen any sligs around here lately, though."
Spider: *sigh* guess I'm safe here fer the time being then..
DH: "How come? They after you or something?"
Spider: long story, starts back when I was still in the labs..
DH: "Uh-huh."
Spider: let me give yer the main reason...when i was still stuck in the labs...I hunted sligs as food
DH: "Ah."
Spider: Now that I have escaped, I don't der that anymore...but they refuse ter believe that..
DH: "Oh. I see. Anyway, time to put that tumeric on."*He opens the bag of yellow powder. It smells like curry. (Tumeric is one of the curry powerders, but it works well in wounds)*"Mmmm! Makes me hungry. This may sting a little bit, but not as much as the tea-tree."
Spider: ok
*DH holds Spiders hand as he packs the wound full of tumeric. He places the bag underneath Spiders hand to catch the excess.*
DH: "All done."
Spider: thank you
DH: "You can stay on my bed for the night. I'll sleep on the floor and build you another bed tommorrow. I'll also try and retrieve your pants."
Spider: *slight smile* I should let yer know...they are not normal BBS pants..
DH: "What do they look like?"
Spider: why der yer think I'm called 'Spider'?
DH: "Hmmmm. . ."*Thinks*"They look like a spiders legs?"
Spider: *nods* its has 8 legs instead of 2 or 4. and yes they look like spider legs *grin*
DH: "Ah-ha. Heck, I don't feel sleepy tonight. I'll go get your pants back tonight instead. Where'd you leave them?"
Spider: um...*worried face* no idea...those bounty hunters ran me all over the place today..
DH: "Darn."
Spider: *thinks a moment* theres a couple of dead slig bodies 'bout a half days walk from here, well more like a fourth of a days...pass them somewhere shold be my pants..
DH: "In which direction?"
Spider: *thinks again* ter the east
DH: "Okay."*He helps Spider back onto the bed*
Spider: thanks again...it's nice ter find someone that doesn't try ter kill me on sight fer once..
DH: "That's okay. Always pleased to help someone in need. It's my job."
Spider: *smiles* by the way, whats yer name?
DH: "My real name is Eddie, but everybody calls me Dark Hood."
Spider: ah very well then, Dark Hood. thanks once again.
DH: "I'm what they call a human, BTW. I'm an alien to this planet."
Spider: No wonder yer smelled so strange *chuckles*
DH: "The first of my kind to come here. We don't have the technology for interstellar travel back on my planet. However, I am special and have a limited set of magic powers. No other human has them."
Spider: ah I see. *thinks* just ter let yer know...becareful of what yer say around me...I don' take insults well
DH: "Okay."
Spider: *sly smile* an' just because I'm pantless doesn't mean I'm helpless...and don' think yer safe in the trees either..
DH: "Well, I can't climb trees. I have a shield, though."*He activates his sheild*
Spider: *grin* if yer ever get me mad yer better hope that holds..
DH: "It will, don't worry."*He deactivates it*"Anyway, I'll go get your pants back. I'll repair them with my powers and ride them back for ya."
Spider: *yawns, showing lots of sharp teeth* yer der that...
DH: "Okay. I'll be off then. See ya later for now."
Spider: bye *lays head down and falls asleep*
*Dark Hood exits his shack and heads off into the night*
