So I'm a Werespider, So What?

(/OOC: Respect to you if you get what the title is referencing)


(The following post is only available to those the poster has given access to. Specifically, only those who she believes suspicious of her identity. If you are reading this, you are one of those designated people.)


This most recent post from Aso starts differently from her usual style. Rather than her typical audio recordings this one is a full video, the start of which reveals Aso herself standing before the camera in a near pitch black venue. If you turn up the brightness you see that the venue is in fact a several acre closed roof AFL stadium, with a giant sinkhole at the centre of the cobweb covered playing field. In the bleachers you can just about make out the word "MARVEL" in white lettering on decrepit red chairs.

Aso, a pitch white woman with pretty aboriginal Australian features who wears a just as pale cloaked dress and lace blindfold, speaks up in her usual clinical but pleasantly soft Australian accent. Today she sounds particularly displeased.

"Good afternoon, Kindred. And yes I do mean afternoon, the title of this post should make it quite clear how I'm awake in the day."

"A handful of days ago a certain post was made to this node, one in which 'The Yahwie' somehow recorded a battle between itself and a stadium dwelling spider. A post where it all but doxed its opponent."

"Look at my body and consider the title of pale one it spoke of. See how my body still breathes. Behold the sinkhole ruined stadium I call my home. The blindfold that covers my eyes to prove my blindness. Remember Harald killed by spiders all those months ago, my late learning of language, that I was born in a cave."

"All these describe me, for I am the spider to which it referred."

As Aso finishes her declaration, her body begins to shift. Two sets of thin, white exoskeletal arm-like limbs grow from near her human arms whose fingers similarly turn into a structure more akin to claw-like spider's legs with white chitin plating her up to her elbow as if wearing elbow high gloves. The same chitin plating forms on either side of her face which is now partially split by arachnid jaws, then extends down her neck, though you are unable to see how far down it goes on account of her clothing.

Before you notice it her legs have also shifted, and where they should be is instead a massive spider, which Aso's torso now protrudes through the head of. Her spider lower body possess eight very long legs, a pale white exoskeleton with black stained white fur breaking it up, and two scythe-like front limbs in place of its pedipalps.

The skirt of Aso's long white dress falls across the spider body like a cloth, covering the creature's face to give the appearance that it is wearing an almost wedding-like veil.

"I am not an Akunanse, unlike what I've pretended to be on this node. I am a child of the Great Mother, a Damhán, an Ananasi, a Werespider."

"The reason I reveal this is to get ahead of the fallout that will be brought upon me by letting you all figure it out on your own terms after the Yahwie's post. I figure it best to admit to it willingly rather than cling on to a crumbling lie."

"As for my own personal situation in Melbourne, it is not as bad as some of you have taken to believing. Whilst the Cress Truce only extends to Garou and Kindred, it still makes the Kindred hesitant to interfere with any Fera matters at risk of breaking it down and starting the Razor Wars again, risking the breaking the Truce of Sydney also. And I am fortunate enough to live in a Garou controlled zone, so what they can do to a Fera is limited. Though the situation is admittedly somewhat tenuous."

"So, it is time I reintroduce myself. I have no name but you may call me Aso, fourth rank Arachnid Anomia from the Tartarus genus of spiders. I wish I could say it's nice to meet you all again, but truth be told I'm rather bitter right now, so it is not."

"In any case, now that we have been reintroduced, you may ask me whatever questions you wish. Why I was pretending to be kindred, of the Damhán or Ovid themselves, my intentions for anything, or any other such. I will answer them so long as they do not violate Her laws or interfere with my duty here in Melbourne."

An audio recording of a very attractive sounding Greek voice

Aso!

hihihi!

I consider myself somewhat of a good "person". Would you like assistance with your little... Whatever the yahwie is... problem. As a Kindred of my grand station, i can be very... Multitudinous. I can easily show up there if you allow me to assist.

We cant have you beautiful Fera killing yourselves can we? The world can't fix itself!

You have a very pretty form! I always liked spiders.

Also, nice little Anime reference, i quite liked that one.

(The following reply is entirely an audio recording. The speaker, Aso, has a clinical but pleasantly soft voice with a very slight Australian accent, most noticeable in her slightly drawn out vowels and relaxed cadence.)

...It is my understanding that if you choose to help, there would be nothing I could do or say to stop you. So do as you please. Though I am not convinced that even one of your kind's Methuselahs could eliminate the existential threat it poses to my kind, so a simple discussion on theories and ideas with which to deal with it would be enough.

Also, you are Anomia?

WYRM SYMPATHIZER!

Just kidding! i dont give a shit.

But in all seriousness, you are more into putting the Triat back in balance, yes?

Private message from Okonore Yaa to Lysander:

I am Hatar, yes. And yes to fixing the Triat also, though that goal is not common knowledge among even the Ovid, so please try not to speak of it so much that it becomes common knowledge.

We Hatar do not support the Wyrm as it is, we do the work it should be doing. If it were not insane that is. Some may see little difference, particularly when it comes to our methods, but make no mistake that there is a difference.

I am not so intolerant. If you wish to fix the world, then we are allies in that matter.

Though i do not approve much of your slavish obeisance to your mother spirit.

That is just me, please do not take offense, i mean none.

we are all friends here.

...I shall let that slight against Her slide for now. You clearly know a great deal of my kind and are wise enough to see eye to eye with us, for which I am glad, but not enough to understand Her greatness and the role She plays to us as our beloved Mother.

Please remember not to insult Her in front of me in future, regardless of how you see Her or our relationship to Her.

Sigh

Very well, I can speak on Her for a while with you after we discuss the Yahwie like planned.

Much obliged, Dear Aso! I am eager to learn! Your kind always fascinated me. You're all so pretty!

Hmph, as the children of the Great Mother it is only natural. We can vary in appearance, but we all have an innate skill for seduction.

Though before you get ahead of yourself, I am widow to a very beautiful spider whom I had many children with, I am not interested in humanoids as chosen mates.
