[open] she's moistened every curl

Who: Airachnid and YOU
Where: Around L.A.
When: Any time in late March
What: Airachnid uses her holomatter avatar to research human culture and interact with her future prey while walking around Los Angeles.
Warnings: Mentions of murder and genocide, and there is a good chance of murderous unvoiced thoughts because we're talking about Airachnid here

Airachnid's general plan of action for decimating a species is simple: land on their planet unnoticed, pretend to be one of them, learn about them until she is more of an expert on them than they are, and then use whatever methods are best suited to tearing apart their particular society. As much as she enjoys personally killing individuals, she recognizes that trying to go about her hobby that way would be extremely ineffective. Therefore, her methods often involve some degree of worming her way into a strategic position within their world and destroying them from the inside. That's not to say she doesn't commit traditional murders; she will take every opportunity to murder that she can get. She just doesn't want to spend forever on a single project, as there are other planets she has to visit as well.

So, to gather data as a supposed member of whichever unfortunate species she has targeted, Airachnid uses her holomatter avatar. It's a remote projection that can interact with its environment, and it's vital to her work.

In fact, throughout late March, her holomatter avatar can be found wandering the streets and buildings of Los Angeles with an observant look of unusual intensity. She sometimes stops to read Wikipedia articles on a definitely-not-stolen laptop in public locations (parks, cafes, etc) and to participate in a variety of mundane activities, such as frisbee, cross-stitch embroidery, and pogo stick usage, all for the purpose of research. She takes this murder hobby very seriously, okay. Airachnid also tends to sort of weirdly observe people and listen in on their private conversations in order to gather information. If spoken to, she will put on her best normal human act, based on what she knows about normal humans. It's not a lot.

Despite the unforeseen obstacles and difficulties Airachnid has encountered on Earth so far, she's determined not to give up. She will learn about these humans, she will make them an endangered species for fun, and she will collect that awful Matilda's head. You can count on it.

Matilda was looking a deal more cleaned up than she had in recent days. Having a home to return to, and people that looked after her certainly made things a good deal easier. It still hadn't quite set in that Tommy and Ana were serious about watching out for her, and a part of her innately feared that they would get bored, or up and leave like her family had. Until then she was...really liking how things were.

She really hoped that they wouldn't end up hating her. She was a naturally adventurous child, which is why she still went off on her own a lot, but she also felt it was prevent them with getting too impatient with her. Out of sight, out of mind. At least that's what she had been taught, and they couldn't very well get annoyed with her if she didn't bug them too much.

Right now she was in the park, sitting on a bench with her legs dangling in the air. Birds gathered around her as she tossed small pieces of bread at them--next to her, the ever present stack of books.

One bad thing about Eusine (one of many, some might say) is that the volume of his private conversations range between "boombox" and "jet at take-off".

It probably wouldn't be so bad if he were at home, or maybe in some random park. Unfortunately for everyone, it's while waiting in the line of a café that Eusine elected to call his parents that day; he's excitedly babbling into his phone in some sort of weird moon language the initiated might recognize as French, his free hand gesturing around for emphasis as if he has his interlocutor right in front of him and not on the other side of the ocean.

And this is how he bumps into the table Airachnid is sitting at, too focused that he was on his conversation to pay attention to where he was going. What a graceful specimen of human masculinity.

"Ah, pardon-" he begins, before catching himself. "My apologies."

Believe it or not, not all of Ben's free time is spent lying to his parents and doing things he's not responsible enough to be doing. For example, today he's doing exactly what his parents think he's doing - in this case, riding his scooter around the park.

Then he almost gets hit by a rogue frisbee.

"Hey-!" He ducks out of the way and watches the disc land on the ground, then goes to retrieve it, turning to face the direction it came from. "Hey, whose is this?" He's not actually angry so much as faintly irritated. It didn't actually hit him, right? Could've been worse.
