An rp between Tapi and I. Terrifying.
Light poured into the cave, illuminating the dim area. It filtered through the gossamer webbing that blocked off the seamstress' bed, casting odd shadows onto the sleeping form. Clicking noises began, slowly getting loudly until the large blue tarantula finally shook herself awake. Her array of beady black eyes glimmered, and she stretched out her eight fuzzy limbs. Wakey wakey. Crawling out of her web and past the sticky curtains, she glanced about. Nobody had come in to dumb anything on her, but she was sure someone would toss at least a cap at her sometime during the day. Dust flew up as she quickly grew in height, human body growing out of her arachnid form. Once she was finished, she huffed. Dust everywhere, that would have to be fixed later. Spindle shook her head, grabbed her dress and slipped into it, tying her sash tightly around her waist. There, now she was ready. The spider looked from her bare dummies to the wide entrance of her area. Time to wait, she supposed. There was always something.

Tapi trekked up the rocky path to the cult seamstress's cave, grumbling to herself as she stepped over sharp stones and through uncut grass. "Tapi, take care of this will you?" she said in a crude parody of Problem's voice, sneering as she hefted the sack she carried over her shoulder. "I'm the goddamn leader of this goddamn cult and what do I do? Carry ruined shit up cliffsides to spiders. Should'a made Tea do it...heh..." she laughed to herself, imagining how the taller Chandelier would scream at their seamstress's appearance.
Speaking of which, Tapi glanced up, sun reflecting off glowing blue sunglasses as she squinted at the opening of a certain cave. "Looks like I won't be making spider barbeque today." she sighed, catching sight of Spindle looking out. "Hey! Spindle!" the cult leader called out, the flame above her head rising slightly. "Drop your 50 eyes down here would'ya?"

Propping herself up on the side of the entrance, Spindle looked out over the landscape before her. It never did get old, that view. Ever so lovely, the sea of trees that always looked ablaze come nightfall. Sometimes she swore she could see the flames of the other cultists as they wandered about through the forest at night. It had turned out to be quite nice dealing with the lot of them. Always someone to use as a model for even her strangest designs. A chuckle escaped her before something else caught her attention. Looking down, the seamstress detected the voice of her leader.
Ah. Delightful. She'd actually have to be somewhat polite to this one.
"It's nine, actually, but you do as you please," the lady responded, walking out a bit to greet Tapi. Her hands were neatly clasped in front of her. Of all those who could have come, it was the boss. She wouldn't have minded if that goat had come, or even Princely. But no. The one she couldn't help, fashion wise. Still. Putting on a polite smile, she tilted her head just a bit. "What have you brought for me today, merciful leader?"

"An irritated attitude, a sack of damaged upholstery, and a heads up that there's a vulture eyeballing you." she said in a monotone, voice and face completely devoid of the emotion she'd just had. Tapi shifted the aforementioned sack on her shoulder and pointed a hand that was thankfully, for the other, made of flesh up at a vulture circling above them. "Either your it's next meal or it's yours." she dropped her hand and continued the last few steps up to the other cult member, holding out the bag of fabrics as emotion returned to her face with a scowl. "Some idiots decided that they should try seeing how well one of our living room's couch sets held up under their..." she waggled her eyebrows though it was apparent that she didn't find any humor in the story. "Roughhousing to the more pleasurable degree."

Spindle nodded along, the smile plastered on her face growing dull. She glanced up at the vulture which Tapi pointed to, sighing. "I'll throw it some remains, that's what it's here for, anyways," she said, a chill in her tone. "And I'm rather sad that you'd think I'd lower myself to eating a scavenger..." Head turning back down to look at Tapi, the lady frowned. More rocks would have to be removed from the path as to not completely infuriate the leader next time she came up this way. Getting herself killed just because her home was hard to get to would be such a disappointment. Two long, fuzzy legs whipped out from behind her, nabbing the bag which Tapi held out. "Roughhousing, you say?" the spider replied, turning and walking over to wear she kept her more heavy duty material. "Savages. Some of the men, I'm sure.." She spoke distractedly as she emptied the contents of the bag, making a disgusted face at the damage. Thinking of something, Spindle turned to look at Tapi again. "If you'd like to rest after that walk, I'll get you a chair," she offered, a bit of thread dripping from her fingertips. It was the least she could do.

"I've seen our members eat worse. Suggesting you'd eat a vulture isn't much of a insult in my book." She pointed out, leaning back to stretch and crack her spine. "On a scale of one to ten, ten being right on the fucking nose, you just scored a solid 15 with that guess." Tapi eyed the multiple appendages of the spider-creature before blinking and looking back at Spindle's face. "Oh. Chair. Yeah. Sure that'd be nice." she looked around, as if expecting to see a chair she would be able to sit on.

"Those members aren't me," she stated blankly, still looking at Tapi. Was she not made of smoke or something? How could she have bones to crack? ..Best not to ask. Best not to complain about the hideous language, either. It was appropriate usage, considering. Aside from that, it was almost funny watching her leader seem almost out of place in her humble abode. "Here, I'll get a chair for you.." Silken thread fell from her fingertips, weaving intricately in and out of itself, assembling into a glistening white seat. It looked nice, fitting for the leader. She pushed it over to Tapi, grateful it did not fall over. Turning back around to begin work on her chore, the seamstress did her best to pay attention to the being behind her. "If it's too sticky, just toss some cloth over it," Spindle suggested. Sometimes she kind of wished she could just make regular thread, but then again, it wouldn't be so good at construction..

Her eyebrows rose as the other made the chair, glancing between it and Spindle before whistling and sitting down. It made sense that the arachnid creature would be able to do such a thing, but she didn't feel the need to apologize for her obliviousness. "Not that sticky....though I understand how it could be." she reached a hand from under her cloak, everything else beneath it hidden in smoke and shadow as she rubbed her fingers over the chair's arm. "And I apologize for bothering you so early in the morning but I was about to go and burn the idiots responsible for it and got cornered into delivery that instead." She made a mental note to still burn the aforementioned assholes...and Problem while she was at it.

Stitching together some tears in the fabric, she examined the other things she would have to fix. How destructive could lovemaking possibly be for some. Her nose wrinkled, catching a whiff of bodily fluids which remained in the fibers. A cleaning would have to be done before these could be put back in the rest of the cult's living space. She sensed a presence in the room, and it took her a moment to remember who was with her. Yes, right. The spider looked at at Tapi as she spoke, hiding a sense of pride in her handiwork. She also hid her surprise at the apology, merely smiling. "Oh, no, it's fine. I would have gotten bored if I had to wait too long." Biting some thread in half, she became a bit thoughtful again. "Honestly I'd like to give them a piece of my mind as well. Did you smell this stuff as you came up here? Absolutely disgusting. I've a mind to give you some perfume in case it rubbed off on you." Spindle scoffed and pulled together a few more stitches. If they'd allow she'd just love to tell all those needy boneheads what she thought of all the stinking piles of ripped cloth they had her repair.

"If the scorchmarks on their asses don't teach them a lesson then I'll make sure to let you have at 'em." She mumbled, head tilted back and eyes closed behind her head as she found herself getting tired. "Really though. Four in the fucking morning and what do I get woken up to? Actual, literal, fucking. I've half a mind to just devour their souls so I don't have to sleep and get woken up again...." Tapi yawned, eyes opening to slowly roll over and stare at the seamstress. "Granted...there are easier meals around..." she grinned and leaned forward, outright staring at the working arachnid. "Hey Spindle- what does spider taste like?"

She just sighed. "Most men don't have manners. Of course they'd not know when it's appropriate to do such things and when it's not." Her extra legs moved about, continuing to sew as she looked at her leader, smirking a bit. Since she'd joined, she'd never known what to think of the one she had to follow. And her seeming tendency to hate the sacrifices made Spindle wonder why she even bothered to have started the cult anyways. Just seemed like a waste of time, really. And then there were the threats. Her smirk grew into a cold smile, and she put her hands on her hips. "Spiders tastes like you doing all of this by yourself, honey," she snorted. "But once you find a seamstress as good as I am willing to do all of this work as well as I do, go ahead, eat me." The spider stood there, legs working furiously but not daring to turn around. Instead, she stared right back at Tapi. "It's so unprofessional of you to threaten me, a spider, inside my own home."

"And how professional of you not to attack me for it." She quipped, leaning back in the chair with the grin still on her face. "Interesting really." her head tilted to the side and her glasses flashed completely black for a moment. "If I remember correctly you tasted like remorse and..." her lips pursed before stretching in a grin again. "Lillies. Tasty combo."

"Because I can actually control myself," the seamstress sneered. A white lump near Tapi moved just a bit, and it seemed to be growling. Neither Spindle nor her guard dog enjoyed the leader's attitude, nor what she was saying. "You'd do well to do the same. I was kind enough to agree to doing this job, and I have been quite hospitable to you since you came up here. The only reason I don't have you strapped down wearing a ridiculous dress is because I am obliged to treat you with respect. I expect you to treat me as such, seeing as where we are. I'll get you some meat, on the condition that you at least try to pretend you know how to treat a lady in her home." She knew she was talking far too much, but it at least woke the dog up.

"Spider's got a bite." She looked down at the web-woven dog and smirked, reclining further back in the chair. "I like how your idea of punishment is making people look ridculuous. With our bunch it's normally mutilation, burning, mental torture," she ticked the various forms of punishment off on one of her hands, a finger folding down for each. "My personal favorite of severe guilt trips, and the pit...haven't used that in a while..." Tapi made yet another mental note, this one to go and check to make sure the last idiot who'd gotten sent there was still breathing. "And in all honesty I'm not actually going to eat you." she waved her hand before slipping it back under her cloak, seeming to become even more relaxed. "I can just stare at you working until you're finished...maybe take a nap," she yawned for emphasis though she wasn't tired in the slightest. "You just keep doin' you."

With the first few words, the spider calmed down slightly, enough to turn back around. Her dog kept staring at the cult leader, though, it's beady eyes squinting as she spoke. Tapi's words did reach Spindle's ears, despite her trying desperately to ignore the other female. The concept of torture was a familiar one to her, but it was not one she agreed with. Too many soiled dresses and coats for her taste. Being among this bunch had been a slap in the face. She sighed, lifting up some stuffing that was in the bag, placing it to the side until she could find where it belonged. She heard Tapi state the obvious, and despite the fact that she already had known, it was still a relief to hear it aloud. "Yes, miss, I know. I have no fear for my life while I'm useful," was her response as she plucked a piece of hair from the bag. She flung it to the side, hoping that whoever it was from just had very curly locks. The thought of what it could be made her shudder, gagging. "Savages...." Rooting around the sack, she finally found a half empty- what, was it a pillow? It was in bad shape. Anyhow, just as she pulled it out, a question came to mind. "Tapi? May I ask you something?"
