You have my thanks. I just want this done so I don't get the child who lives with me involved.

I'm a trained ninja. I have secured myself a number of tools in advance, including but not limited to silver knives, kunai, swords, and explosives of my own design. I also have means of starting fires very quickly if need be.

From:

I can fully understand and respect your wishes to keep the child in your care safe. Your weapons of choice should arm you against a variety of possible monsters, but you'll be able to fight off some much more effectively than others. Do you have allies to fight with you, or are you alone?

From:

intercalaryninja

That's the idea. I do have allies that are willing to fight with me, but I'd rather do this by myself. It's not their fight. I'm significantly more trained than all of them bar one as well.

From:

hearthebell

So you're confident that no matter what kind of monster "L Lawliet" is, you'll be able to kill them?

From:

intercalaryninja

I've been careful to go over monster's weaknesses, and safeguarding my own even before this event. If I'm not, then I deserve to die.

From:

hearthebell

That's a little harsh. Even very smart people make mistakes and slip up sometimes and that hardly makes them deserving of death. How have you been safeguarding your own weaknesses?

From:

intercalaryninja

That is true, but I judge myself harsher than I do others. I must if I'm to protect myself and my clients.

- Light weight armour- leather and flax- under my clothes.
- Oils to make sure I don't burn.
- Therapy.

From:

hearthebell

Therapy? I fail to understand what you mean by that.

From:

Protects my mind. My form comes with a lot of interesting quirks, and though normally they wouldn't be a problem, they are ones that can be taken advantage of during combat. Talking to someone is as much of a precaution as procuring a weapon.

From:

hearthebell

What "quirks" affect you mentally? I find that interesting and feel that it would be useful to know.

[For, you know. A good few reasons.]

From:

intercalaryninja

Meticulousness, for most part. Not quite at the point of OCD, I can say confidently, but it's fairly bad. I usually fair calmly in situations, but if the details of my work or things are out of place, I get very frustrated. Makes it easy to clean the house, but I dislike being irritated every time I go out to Bavan and see a bottle on the floor.

From:

hearthebell

[Hell, when L hears talk of arachnes and their particular tendencies, he's actually pretty surprised he didn't end up as one himself. They seem to describe him to a T. Then again, he realizes that a person's nature isn't always indicative of the monster they'll become, which stings, because he was so partial to that theory when he arrived.]

I understand what that's like and do not consider it a negative quality. Perhaps it will help you survive the encounter you're about to endure.

From:

intercalaryninja

[L's right, it isn't always indicative, but still L probably doesn't match since he lacks the maternal instincts most arachne have.]

Like I said, it has proved useful in the past, and I hope it will continue to, but I hope for it not be be a manipulated quality in the future.

From:

hearthebell

[Truly, L's "maternal instincts" are reptilian at best.]

In what ways are you afraid it could be manipulated? Someone coming at you in a way that forces you to focus on organization rather than the matter at hand?

From:

intercalaryninja

Being concerned with order and the way things are done down to precision... If given the chance for study, my habits makes me predictable. It's not ideal.

[There are others but he won't share them. He's not that comfortable around this guy just yet.]

From:

hearthebell

Being predictable would certainly be unhelpful in trying to evade an attack, but that's not the case here. You're armed to the teeth, and if you're an arachne, with teeth at that. Do you know what kinds of monsters your venom works or doesn't work on?

From:

intercalaryninja

That is true. I still should have my guard up regardless.

I have yet to test venom on a monster. I don't make it a habit to bite people.

Edited Date: 2016-03-08 08:12 am (UTC)

From:

hearthebell

You wouldn't need to make it a habit, but just knowing would be prudent, wouldn't it? After all, you're in a situation now where you've gone to great lengths to have every possible weapon you can use at your disposal.

From:

intercalaryninja

It would be. It is... difficult asking for volunteers however. Unless I go under the assumption all spider venom is the same and go collect data from other arachne.

From:

hearthebell

I'd definitely collect data from other arachne. If they'd be willing it would be very valuable information to have. You could make a project of it, and I don't doubt that many would be amenable to participating.

From:

intercalaryninja

I'll make a note to do so when I have a chance. Today is a bit last minute and unideal. I'm waiting for my master to come back and we can discuss plans to deal with anyone who wants to harm him.

From:

hearthebell

Today, there are certainly a lot of other things going on. You can be forgiven for not prioritizing it. Who is your master? Are you referring to the child in your care?
