Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-29661846-20170225154209/@comment-31595069-20170402222319

It used to be a normal day, sitting at an office, crunching numbers for eight hours a day just to get paid. Afterwards he would go back home in his apartment complex and take a hard earned break. However all that changed in front of his bathroom mirror out of all placed, getting ready for work. Suit and tie, black slacks, a pair of nice dress shoes and a silver watch. Suddenly a bright light erupted from his bathroom mirror and before he knew it...everything changed.

He was brought into a time where there were no towering skyscrapers, massive highways with cars, or even any modern appliances. It was as if he was dragged back in time to some sort of midevil style era.

Adjusting was hard, his clothing was far...far different from anyone around him. Perhaps thats why in a span of a few days, while he was asleep some jerks decided to steal the clothes on his back, and even one time while walking someone stole his watch without him knowing. Thankfully moving hay bales all day earned him 'just' enough to pay for some very simple clothing.

Of course this also made things worse for his rent, he was struggling to even get half of his rent and the owners: one human and the other a red devil in his mind threatened to break and eat his legs in that order. Things were horrible, however his luck changed for the better(Better in this world at least) when a strange woman in a stunning silk garb offered him a job.

His eyes lit up, she was offering him a job? To be a servent, he always cleaned up the office at the late night shift so this was no problem at all. All he had to do was just follow her orders like a regular office worker. He agreed to her offer.

Arriving at such a luxorious mansion, like any rich persons house back in his time. He was told what to do: cook, clean, get supplies every other day. But she gave him a very peculiar warning...dont go out at night. Very great terms to stay here. And it beat having his legs broken and eaten.

A few weeks passed, he had graduated into a full fledged servent in his mind. Like a janitor and personal cook. Life was great, roof over his head, warm company by Claire, the woman who hired him. But of course the big giant spider web sunerved him just a little. He had nothing against spiders, in fact they were cool in his eyes. Dang flies, mosquitoes and roaches. They were really good at taing care of them. Of course he was worried he would die to a giant spider if he got stuck in a web so he did his best to not walk into them.

One night however, he decided to drink a bit too much water before going to sleep and his bladder was urging him to go use the brathroom. It was night and he was warned to never go out at night...but nature was calling and he decided for just a few minutes he would go out for a small bit. Careful not to make much noise, he walked to the main foyer and procceded down the stairs. That was until he had this feeling that something was observing him. The hairs on his whole body stood up straight and when he looked back, there was Claire, with a lower body of an arachnid.

She had warned him, and now that he knew what she looked like she was going to...eat him?! No...anything but that, he did not want to die. Fear overtook him as he carfully walked backwards down the stairs. Bathroom be damned right now.

"W-W-Wait Claire! Please lets talk about this! What makes you think that I consider you a monster! God dangit I considered that Red Devil back at the inn to be more monsterious than you by a landside! She wanted to eat my legs after her husband broke them!" The man pleaded as he reached the foot of the stairs and tripped overhimself.

"Come on Claire! You hired me! If you did not want anyone to know who you are then why bother finding someone in the first place when you plan to eat them if they know who you really were! I dont think you are a monster! You halped take care of me over the past few weeks! You saved me from having my legs busted and living all that hardship! Please! Dont kill me!" He curled into a ball expecting death. But instead found that the movment stopped.

"You...Don't find my appearnce...horrid?" Clair spoke through tear stained eyes.

"Horrid?! I am more scared of you eating me whole right now! I could care less if you were an arachnid! I always saw them as cool! You are cool for everything you do! This world is full of your kind, but its not like I am scared of disgusted by them! I just want to live in peace! Not be killed by someone I considered a freind!"

Claire stood silent for a moment, the atmosphere changing. "You...Think I am a freind?..."

"Of course! Would a non-freind walk up to a man down in the dumps and offer him a life?! Things really changes nothing! All I wanted was to use the damned bathroom! I'm sorry for that I admit."

Claire actually...chuckled a bit before actually offering him her hand. "Then...Sorry for trying to eat you. I was just lonely and many humans always ran away and called me a monster when they saw me like this...I...thank you for not doing such a thing."

The man breathed a sigh of relif and took her hand. "Thanks, I will be sure to do my best still. Now...I should go to the bathroom..."

For the weeks that followed, everything went back to normal, the man doing his chores and spending time with Claire. She was his freind, and she was slowly becoming for than a freind to him...someone who would stick with him in this world he was dragged into.
