I'm taking those stims, though I'll not be using them on myself.Hmm? What are you going to use them on, then? Your party is quite a ways off, you know. That's for me to know and for you to wonder. Now, I AM going to need a little healing, and I guarantee that you'll be able to help with that.Ohh! Are you coming around? Excellent...I'm going to drain you and put you in a closet. You see her face fall a little in surprise, and you grin in delight. Time for a creep-out turnabout! Then, of course, she jumps in delight as her legs twitch around.
Oh, please do! Come on, come on come on come on!butt y thoYou just shrug before you grab her by the arm and shoulders and jam your fangs into her neck. You can feel her pulse as you work, and its very rapidly increasing as you work. She doesn't have the decency to not enjoy it, though you admit that feeling your generally cracked body heal up is as literal of a feel-good moment as you can imagine. Still, the way she twitches and touches you in whatever way she can kind of undercuts it.
You should have put on some damned clothing first.
When you release her, she looks pale, dizzy... spent. She leans on you to stop herself from falling over, though considering you're both driders you take on a lot of weight at once. You can handle it, of course, you're about two heads taller than her. Not to mention, her legs are VERY thin at the ends, though they're a bit thicker up top, with "tufts" of hair instead of a solid coat of any type. It gives a very odd effect, though you haven't been paying much attention to her legs before.
It's kind of cute, in a weird way.
You shake your head as you carry her along for a moment, actually placing her on top of your spidery body after a few attempts. She hangs over your shoulders, drooling a little. After a short walk, you stuff her in a closet. Considering the amount of blood gone, she'll be out like a light for a little longer. You knew that most driders are a little lighter than they first appear, as the size/weight ratio is actually rather modest, but she was a real featherweight.You also loot her as you leave her behind to sleep it off, giving you five stimpacks a sort of crossbow, specially made for said syringes. It's a bit small for anything bigger...
She moves over to open a bag of something, and starts eating whatever's inside. Great, a food closet. What good place to put her. You close the door as she waves you goodbye and winks. Well, that leaves you fine and dandy, and without her! Excellent, all round.
Sort of. It wasn't a very big heal. Enough to get you moving, at least.
Finding the front of the hospital wasn't hard, and true to her word, you find your spiderlings in a large terrarium. With round bellies and content-looking little eyes. Looks like she's fed them with some assortments of virmin and...
A human hand.
Why.
You take your kids out of there, and look through the "lost and found" box for some clothing. You find a sweather and an odd skirt. You've seen it around town a few times, a pencil skirt, though this one has been adapted for driders. Hardly useful for you, though, you need some movement. You find a more traditional skirt fairly soon, allowing a full range of movement. You'd be in trouble if you had an actual human but, you suppose, but that's neither here nor there. Sadly, there are no bras in your size, but the sweater should prevent too much discomfort.
Ready as you'll ever be, you open the front door and look around. Cave walls, and a few waysigns. The most enticing one is labelled "royal room". The other ones point to "barracks", and another towards "arena".
