Yu tried to relax after the recent events. Eating through a recently delivered meal they tried to avoid recalling all of their errors, and especially on thinking about what Cargo said before leaving the chat.

When a ping came from their computer, they were sure it was Cowboy requesting them to rejoin. Abandoning their meal half eaten they rushed over, only to see a username they've never seen before. They checked quickly to see if it was someone in the current party, maybe Cowboy's side account, but it wasn't.

It was an account that never took Yu off their friendlist.

• Sweet little eyes. Doesn't see enemies. Terrible for guard duty.


• Can open any object. Doors. Windows. Jars. Cans.


• Loves learning new interests.


• Scared of other dogs.


• Can entertain itself for days if given toys.

• Remember that time I sent you those spiders?


• I know it was a surprise.


• But those were good fucking spiders.


• You need spiders in your house.


• But what happened to them was terrible.


• This time, learn to accept and love spiders.


• I recommend this animal.

• Her smile is very sweet. Very warm. She often laughs at nothing.


• Used to be in school.


• Might remind you of your old bird, for good or bad.


• Will always fly back to you if you walk with her outside. She's scared of being too far from her owner.


• Hates messes. Can become loud about this.


• Solves puzzle cubes in her spare time.


• Eats right out of your hand.

• You've seen them out there in the wild.


• How did evolution make this?


• We can make charts, set up the most optimal breeding pairs, and yet evolution will still manage to surprise us all by herself.


• And all we can do is gaze in amazement.


• This is why we have to protect the wild world, pal.


• So evolution can keep making these.


• ..................


• Lampposts have an EXTREME calming effect on people like us.


• They cause us to enter a stupor like state.


• Some sort of defense they evolved.


• I don't actually recommend this animal unless you've finally given up on learning to be a better person.

• The term intelligent is in comparison to it and other animals. Compared to you and me it is still near mindless.


• Can inform you of facts you've never considered knowing about. How quirky.


• Lovely bored expression.


• Maybe if you stare at it enough, you can see its genetic history reflected on people you know.


• Was in a school once.


• Will not allow you to pet it. It is a pet you look at and listen to.


• Sheet music given to it will be sung back.


• Warning: Windows must be locked. Will consider escape.

Yu ignores their Fortuna game for now. Cowboy has it handled. As Yu beings to crack open their front door and shove trash out, a singular crow watches them. Time to time it picks up a piece of trash and flies off with it, dumping it in an unknown location and doing it all over again. It seems rather unsettled by Yu's sudden activity.

Yu wastes no time opening the package once the spider arrives. A vivid blue spider races out, before perching on one of the many piles of junk that Yu has yet to clear out. The spider paces on the pile, which Yu does not approach, still frightful of the creature that is only 1/5th of their size. They know that due to fear, they would prefer to leave him to his own devices, but they kind of feel like they should do something first.....
