Wending downstairs, upstairs, halfway stairs... Both the living room area and upper main hallway connect by means of a master staircase. These steps turn at an angle—creating an intermediate landing for little ones or tall ones to just stop at—shielded by an outer bulletin board walling. Peering out from an inner recess, buggy eyes alighted upon realizing the master would be climbing those steps back to his own chambers. Creaking—not unlike the same sound coming from the staircase late at night when there's noone there—made our host aware that a sidedoor was opening up. Secretly hidden within this closet, Attracophany—an attractive young womanly spider emerged. The youngest of the Spider Sisters and a dancer at heart, the gypseeish attire accentuated her arachnid semblage. Purplish ribbons and slits of the shredded tips of her skirt flailing, the musical number began—gloing lights above the partnered pair and on the carpeted floor below.

"You got the shakin', I got the shimmy
You got the takin', I got the gimme
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
You want it all and I wanna give it
You are the dream and I wanna live it
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Someone just like you
We've got the spark, we've got the desire
The longer we burn the higher the fire
And baby take my heart, I want you to have it
Our love's a storm, it goes on forever
The more that it rains the better the weather
And baby take my heart, I want you to have it
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Someone just like you
You got the shakin', I got the shimmy
You got the takin', I got the gimme
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
You want it all and I wanna live it
You got a dream and I wanna live it
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Someone just like you
Oh yeah
Yeah."

In between verses, she would stretch her spidery arms, playfullyYou got the shakin', I got the shimmy
You got the takin', I got the gimme
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
You want it all and I wanna give it
You are the dream and I wanna live it
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Someone just like you
We've got the spark, we've got the desire
The longer we burn the higher the fire
And baby take my heart, I want you to have it
Our love's a storm, it goes on forever
The more that it rains the better the weather
And baby take my heart, I want you to have it
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Someone just like you
You got the shakin', I got the shimmy
You got the takin', I got the gimme
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
You want it all and I wanna live it
You got a dream and I wanna live it
And I don't want to go but baby you send me
Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Someone just like you
Oh yeah

a little provactivelyYou got the shakin', I got the shimmy

In between the verses, she stretched her spidery arms, playfully—a little provocatively—pulling the Count in step with her throughout the song. Once it ended, she produced a marble 8 token as her thanks, returned to her cobwebbed confines, closed the door beneath the stairs as our host ascended dreamily to count himself to sleep.

Not until you update your own missy.

 

[BeakerSqueedom]

:O *Gasp*
Why, you little...
*Tackle*

 

[The Count]

*Eludes tackle and splashes Clauds with a water balloon to get her to update her stories. After all, that's how it works. I post a segment of mine, and then the next doesn't get posted until an author we're nagging in turn updates their story.

Idn't that right Beth? *Prods the Beth-day girl with nagging stick to see if she's got something in store for us.
