Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-31749612-20170703053205/@comment-31595069-20170910093420

Well, today was a misserable day. Not only was it pouring rain, but it was also nightime...Well, not really miserable per say...A night like this is perfect sleeping weather. Besides not many people enjoy running out into the rain to get soaked. Of course, the apartment was a rather cheap one, decent and cheap. At least things were going alright.

Of course, while watching some cartoons on the television to pass time. Now, there was nothing wrong with cartoons. He looked 23 years old, a little bit grizzled but the classics never got old...Anyways back to the point at hand, the power suddenly went out. Figures, this rain probaly caused the power plant to shut off while they do work on it. Well, a good time as any to cook up some dinner.

Lighting up some emergency canldes just to see what he was doing, he opened up his fridge and...Empty...Just like his wallet nowadays. He worked as a mercanary, people pay him to do jobs. And of course...no one has hired him for quite a bit...With a heavy sigh he reached into his pocket in his uniform to grab his wallet.

Thankfully, it was not entirley empty. A few dollars...Enough for a cup of noodles...Noodles for dinner again...like yesterday...and the day before that...Yeah he was not in the best of conditions...

Walking to his door and unlocking it, he grabbed his raincoat and put on some boots. He even grabbed an extra unbella to stay dry. Why have one layer of waterfroof items when you could have two? In any case he stepped outside and thats when his neighbor noticed him.

He seemed concerned, and when he mentioned the dissaperences the man shrugged. "Yeah, not exactlly a comforting thing. Maybe some band of black market kidnapers are opperating out here...Jeeze, and here I though money troubles were my only problem." He replied. "It's wild... I just hope they find those people and they're okay." His neighbor spoke as he began to walk down the stairs. The man followed behind.

Eventually reaching the bottom of the stairs, his neighbor would look back at him and give a small wave to which he returned the wave as well. As much as he disliked having to walk in such soaked weather, food calls.

Now the town was a bit Rural to say the least. There was a lot more woods than a sea of concrete. But it was a quet town...And it was getting even quieter now. Haflway to the store he heard a whistle behind him, not the. "come here boy!" people use when their dog gets loose. It was the. "Hey sweetie." Whistle ladies use.

The hell? Who on earth is picking up guys in this god forsaken...weather? The man turned around curious and the sight surprised the heck out of him. It was a woman he was coorrect on that assumption. But there was how you say?...More to her. She has an arachid lower half...Yeah thats not something you see everyday...

Looking into his coat and grabbing the bottle, he opened it up and would shake the bottle. Empty, yup he was not drunk. This was most certainly real. The Arachnid woman had a lustful grin before speaking out loud. "You'll do nicely." She spoke. Do nicley for what? Food? He was not going to be spider chow.

"Sorry, the only food here is me getting to the nearest convinence store and buying me a nice cup of noodles." The man speaks as he holds onto his umbrella. Okay, so maybe leaving his weapons back at home to stay nice and dry was a terrible idea. Think mercanary think!

As he smartly began to back away the Arachnid woman began to threatningly walk forward with that same grin on her face. Alright, the only means of defense he had was an umbrella. Yeah, that was the best weapon compared to say I dont know...A rifle, or maybe a pistol? Something with a bit more BANG for its buck. Wait...He did not even have much ammo for them anyways.

Well, Umbrella time it was then. He may get a bit soeaked...and if his uniform was getting soeaked he was gonna make this spider pay for it! Closing the Umbrella and narrowing his eyes the man held the umbrella in one hand and the bottle in his other hand. Always fight dirty...

Stepping to the side and scooping a nice helping of mud, the Arachnid would suddenly lunge forward with surprising physical capability. Well, thankully he was no simple businessman or person, he was trained to fight! With bottle in hand he would toss the bottles contets at her face and after having some sticky mud sloshed on her face, she was of course confused where he was and he would retaliate with a hit from his umbrella.

Of course he managed one hit before backing away as she wipped the mud off herr face. A more sadistic smile on her face now. "Your fighting back?...I love your struggle..." She spoke thoughtfully as she began to circle around the man. Alright one trick down...It wont work as effectivly next time.

Still taking another scoop of mud, and making sure to clean out the bottle well when he got back home he swung the umbrella around to keep himself ready. Alright giant spider...lady...thing...Alright take stock of the enemy...She is fast, probaly strong, probaly can weave spider webs but it is not good in this situation...unless she can create strands instantly...

Still sircling around him, the Aracnid would slowly lower herself lookling like she was ready for another lunge. The man got ready and thats when she rushed fourth, aticipating a lunge he would step to the side however she was still running. Looks like she was rushing him.

One false move and he would be in her grasp so he had to be very careful! With each grab at him, he had to react just as fast swatting her hands with the umbrella being sure to keep quick on his feet. They were already off the road and fighting in the forest.

"Alright! Alright! Damn!" The man grunted as he continued to basically dance around and kept on hitting the Arachnid who was getting even more excited with his furious resistance. However as the Arachnid messed up and tripped on a rather large rock there was his chance! He charged forward and...damn! The Arachnid skillfully stepped to the side. It was a feint!

He stopped himself from going to far forward however, he would find out that half his body was stuck on something. With a nervious chill he looked behind him and noticed the web. "Oh...Fuck..." He swore as the Arachnid smiled. "Caught you...With such furious resistance...You were gladly worth my time..." She had a much...much more lewd face as she looked at him.

It can't end like this...Opening up his unbrella with his free hand, he held it above him with his his trapped hand to stop the rain from falling on him. Grabbing a decent sized branch from the ground he bit the branch with his mouth and dug into his wallet and...Pulled out his money with heavy reluctance he stabbed what remained of his many one dollar bills like a shisccabbob and soon grabbed his lighter...

Lighting that baby up the money burned alight into a makeshift torch. The Arachnid went wide eyed at the fire and backed away and he quickly set fire to the web behind him and as it burned and freed him, he began to book it for the road. That fire would scare her for a bit but not forever! Now was his chance to run!

Onto the streets, he saw a car passing by and he waved that sucker down because his life depended on it. The car stopped and he wasted no time getting inside the two seater truck and ditched teh torch. "Drive!" He ordered as the man driving the car nodded as he locked the doors.

"Oh boy buddy, you wont belive what I saw. Some Monster...girl thing attacked me. Hell I think I know why some people are vanishing. Not some silly black market smuggling ring...Just some hungry monster..." The man chuckled to himself when he heard the click of a gun. "No, you were right...I just need one more person before I leave this place. I got nine people in my cabin. I need one more then I'll be swimming in money. Gonna sell you all to my contact. Extra if they all are alive." The driver laughed.

The man simply whistled. "Damn, I was right." He spoke as he looked up ahead. "But I guess you were a moron in the end." The car would then hit a bump and as the mans gun aimed up he ducked down. A gunshot rang out but missed, he would grab the mans arm and quickly disarm him before pointing the gun right at the driver. "Stop and back up a bit." He ordered as the driver complied. The man would rummage in the mans car and grab his wallet. Map to his cabin. And a lot of money. If he saved those people he would make some good money, besides, he messed with the wrong mercanary. He might as well make those contractors mad as well.

As the car arrived to where he first flagged it down. "And now get out." He ordered and the driver quickly replied with rage in his eyes and he unlocked teh car and got out. "You listen here! If you let me live I swear I'll come for you!" The would be illegal smuggler shouted at the man who cleaned his ear with a finger as he watched a figure creep up on him. Moving over to the driver side and closing the door and locking it. "Yeah, yeah buddy...Heard the same story at least...I lost count after the thousands...But hey. I got you a freind." He gave a two finger salute as the man yelled in fear as the Arachnid grabbed him.

"Consider this a gift. Dont um...Attack me alright? You can have that guy." The man spoke as the screaming guy squirmed. "I won't now...Thanks for the new prey...He seems really...desperate to escape..." She grew a grin on her face as the man yelled. "Help! I'll pay you whatever you want! I hate spiders please!" The man pleaded. "Whoops. Sorry I accidentily stepped on the gas petal and my leg won't respond. Sorry buddy!" The man waved at him as he watched him get dragged away into the woods.

Well, today was a much better day. Free money, free car, and he would get a nice bonus for getting those people back home...Now...What sort of dinner would he get now? The options increased quite a bit for the next few months...
