( hey!! as a kind of celebration to conclude my first session being a camper in swc, as well as a little recognition as i wasn't terribly active during it... i decided to post this daily in a project rather than a forum! the prompt was a character getting a superpower they'd dread. so, um the first thing i thought of was ... spiders. also this is NOT my best work hsghe at least i did it :D ) -- The spiders were following him. It’d started inconspicuously. A cockroach here, a widow there, but… well, as the day wore on, Kaivon was forced to admit to himself that the eight-legged creatures tailing him weren’t completely normal. It seemed things always went that way, at least lately. At least for Kaivon, the last few weeks hadn’t been very… normal. And now he was being chased by spiders. Which wouldn’t have been bad, mind you, if he didn’t have somewhere to be. Somewhere to be and someone to see, someone who probably didn’t want him clomping into her house and dropping orb weavers all over her fancy cowskin carpets. He almost snorted aloud at that image, the leggy insects laying eggs in Vivienne’s fancy drapes and golden - real gold, as she always made sure to point out - chandeliers. The vision was enough to make him forget, albeit momentarily, the problem at hand, the superpower that had seemingly appeared overnight. Well. Superpower was a strong word for it. To Kaivon, it was more of a curse. Maybe they’d die out during winter, possibly once these ones had been killed that’d be the end of it? He sighed. Making a mental note to look into some extermination companies, his dinner with Vivienne all but forgotten as he watched his new companions scurry across his shoes and desk.
