[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.

"I like all animals."" She answered cheerily. Matilda always wished that she could have a pet--any pet, but her family had never gotten one, and she couldn't really be certain she could take care of one now. So coming to the park and feeding the birds on occasion was her way of making up for it.
She held out some bread to Airachnid.
"Do you want to feed them too?"

It was certainly a challenge to be so close to her object of vengeance, even only with an avatar, without attempting to harm her. She could just imagine wrapping her hands around Matilda's neck, or slowly slicing her apart, or skewering her...all in time, though. Patience was important at this stage of the game.
"Do you come here often?" Airachnid flashed Matilda her best I-am-just-a-kindly-Earth-human smile and continued tossing bread to the crowding birds.

"It's a nice place to come to when the weather is nice though. And when I have spare spread." Which wasn't often given the state that she and her siblings lived in. She was no longer having to scrape by, feeling hungry most of the time, but things were still a little tight with Ana and Tommy. They weren't all that old themselves, after all.
"What about you? What do you like to do?" Matilda asked, pulling her gaze away from the birds to Airachnid.

"Oh, not much," Airachnid answered, with a little tilt of the head. "Though I have been doing some personal research lately." A little bit of the truth wouldn't hurt. It certainly wasn't enough to be suspicious; from what she had seen, humans did plenty of personal research. Hers was somewhat different, but the point stood nonetheless.

"What kind of personal research?"
