ONE: THE THINGS THAT CRAWL IN THE NIGHT
You haven't thought about the spiders that roam Norfinbury in awhile. But then something happens one night. It's after lockdown and you're all alone, but you can't sleep. How can you, when every time you try to drift off you hear the sounds of scurrying little legs? The sound gets louder, it multiplies, until its all around you. But where--where? Maybe they bugs are beneath the wallpaper, maybe they're under the floorboards. Maybe they're in the furniture. Or maybe, maybe they're just in your head. The tablet is the only thing you have to turn to. Even if you're the only one experiencing these sounds, maybe someone can talk you down, convince you that it's just a brief episode of paranoia that you can unwind from.
TWO: IT WAS ONLY JUST A DREAM
You wake up late into the night. You dreamed you were crawling through a tight, closed space, your body scraping against the metal, and know you don't belong here. Where are you going? The vent is dark, and you don't have your tablet with you. You think there's someone behind you, but you can't be sure. You pull yourself forward with one of your arms. And then you pull yourself forward with your other arm. And then you pull yourself forward with a third--one you shouldn't have. One that doesn't even belong to you.
Once your eyes are open you can still feel those extra limbs extending outward from your body, thin spider legs grabbing at air, clawing for purchase--but then the feeling passes. You're just you, and now you can't get back to sleep. Maybe someone else had the same dream?

THREE: RATE YOUR DISCOMFORT
You and your traveling companion have found an easy routine. Travel, search, hunker down, try to find a semblance of warmth and comfort for the night before you sleep and start all over again. You don't question when they offer you the last of the fresh fruit from your last run to the grocery store. It's a kind gesture, and perhaps you intend to return it the next chance you get. But the food sits uncomfortably in your stomach.
You can feel it, can't you? It's not churning inside of you but moving, squirming, crawling. Nothing relieves it. It doesn't hurt but you feel sick, you find yourself shuddering, but when you show your companion your shaking hands they don't seem to notice the way that your skin ripples with something unseen just underneath. Whatever you ate isn't just in your stomach. It's inside. You can feel it tickling up your throat, reaching up up up.
FOUR: IT SLEEPS BENEATH THE SNOW
You're almost there: the building is just ahead of you, and just in time for lockdown. The coast is clear...at least, that's what you think before the ground around the building begins to move. The snow shifts, snaking in a wide, giant circle around it. And then the monster reveals itself, snow falling from its hardened exoskeleton in chunks, a giant centipede-like anomaly with too-human eyes and hundreds of legs like stilettos decorated with razor blades.
It has you and your traveling companion in your sights--you're going to have to think faster than it can reach you if you want to get around it and into the house before the door locks and dooms the both of you.

[The abrupt question catches him off guard, then he feels the shudder beneath his boots.
He looks around. There is a staircase to his left, or at least the splintered remains of one.]
I think we're gonna have to jump.
no subject
[he could feel the harsh blowing winds again in patches, the existing walls mapping loosely in his head.] Does it look like it could break a door down?
no subject
He bares his teeth and grips the wrecked banister with one hand and a baluster with his tail. He reaches for Ignis with the other hand.]
Yeah, it's damn huge. Could probably knock an unlocked door in easy.
C'mon, jump, I got you!
no subject
[he jumps towards Zidane's voice, just really hoping he doesn't knock this kid out cold in the middle of this shit. That would be literally the worst.]
no subject
Maybe we can find a way to collapse the place down on this ugly bastard and stall him long enough to find shelter.
no subject
[he steadies himself on not-so-steady footing and finds a handhold. In front of them the floor is completely collapsed in except for what seems to be a single intact board stretching over the pitch black of the basement— with splintered wood as the only thing to break their fall. The anomaly's feet are thunderously loud from above them. It seems slightly confused where they are, but it gets in order pretty quick]
Oh, no. Oh, this isn't good. The floor sounds too deep. I figured this building must have collapsed. Zidane, are we stuck?
no subject
There's one board but it's pretty narrow.
[Think fast, he chides himself. He has one idea but he doesn't like it.]
We have to cross. It's that or fall.
[He creeps forward on to the board and looks back at Ignis, lifting his tail.]
There's no time for me talk you through this so hold on to my tail. And no pulling, okay?
no subject
[he shakes his head as if to knock the unimportant line of questions from his head.]
Never mind, sorry. Let's go. [he gently, but hastily swats in the direction of the creak, getting a handful of fuzzy tail.]
I suppose it's your tail or our heads.
no subject
[Zidane inches forward, sometimes gently curling his tail in closer so Ignis doesn't wander too far. If the other man goes over the side Zidane will go with him.]
no subject
I appreciate it, but don't worry too much. I'm decently athletic, and I think we need to really move here.
[Those horrible legs start to make such a rapid sound, the monster coming down the stairwell by the sides.]
If it grabs me or I fall, I'll let go, so let's go.
no subject
[Zidane starts lightly jogging forward.]
Don't worry, I won't let you fall.
no subject
[with the beautiful combination of acrobatics and luck between them, they're able to clear some distance before the monstrosity comes down. It seems perplexed by the crossing. It can't actually fit on the plank. It manages to crawl after, but its heft splinters the wood and if falls into the sharp debris below with a screech.
He resists stopping to listen but]
There's no way that's finished it, has it?
no subject
[Once they're across, Zidane gently tugs his tail free and turns to look briefly down into the gap.]
Yo, ugly!
