[Her eyes light up when he mentions the spider.]

Why did you not mention you had a cool spider bot before? That thing was awesome! The only thing I can really say about that is if it's meant for ambushing you might want to lose the music box tune. It's creepy and cool but it kind of gives away it's location. If it were already set up and ready to ambush it might have got me then and there. The fact it had to move with the music playing didn't really help it.

What's your goal for the spider? We can probably brainstorm some ideas from there.

[It's okay. She loved the spider too. She wants it to succeed in it's next life.]

Perfect test subject? More like the best training field I could ask for. I haven't had a work out like that in awhile. I mean actual threats to my life aside. This was great!

[Watch as the point once again floats over her head as he fumbles with his words.]

Well, yeah? I'm a Huntress, what else would I be incredible at?

[droptheious]

It's pretty new. I'm still working out the kinks. And the music box is how it's programmed to move. It's how I got the automatons to move when- well, y'know. [MOVING ON.] I could always update them, I guess, make them more stealthy. I'll be honest though, the creepy factor is dear to my heart.

[Because he's weird. He's so weird.]

At the moment, it's just something that can move around where my other booby traps can't. Makes for a better means of protecting the place.

[He's so relieved, he's going to pretend that awkward moment never happened. There it goes, being swept under the rug.]

Well, I can do more of that at least! It's no Grimm attack, but at least I can help keeping you fighting fit for when the actual death-bringing monsters show up. [He lets out an awkward chuckle.] Y-yeah. That's fair. You're perfect for the job. Of fighting. Yup.

[clickclickbloom]

[She listens to his explanation and definitely understands the reasoning. She had to admit it was pretty cool that he programmed that thing through a music box. She can even get behind liking the creepy tune. She loved a good old dramatic battle and sometimes just having the right tune was needed to set the mood. Gosh, she needed to get him out to see some more movies.]

Well it's a cool gizmo. Not quite as advanced as what we have back where I'm from but I think with some fine tuning it could be more effective.

[Because Paladins are like the least effective robots ever.

YEAH MOVING ON. They have gizmos to talk about.]

There is a place for creepy music. So I'm not going to say get rid of it of it. But a walking booby trap is going to raise attention to itself if it's playing music. What you might need to do is pump some more music in through a few speakers set up. That might mess with your opponent and give the spider a chance to move a bit more freely.

[Congrats Varian. That's like being proud of waving a sign in front of a blind person and not getting caught.]

Hey. I appreciate it. Any training that isn't trial by fire is good in my books. We might need to find a bigger venue for next time.

I am kind of a pro at it.

[droptheious]

Well, I was working in a world without electricity yet. You gotta use what you can.

[God, if he could bring even a fraction of the tech here in Deerington back home, he could do all sorts of things for the people. He could revolutionalise their lives. In a GOOD way.

Still, this is good, this is a good idea, he rubs his chin in thought.]

Yeah, yeah, I can work with that! It could really disorientate someone, they might not know where the sound is coming from and then suddenly- bam! Robot spider.

[Helping the morally questionable alchemist make his home dealy sure is a way to spend an afternoon, Ruby. And he'll take it, thank you.]

Yeaaaah, I don't think my house can stand another round. Maybe there's a deserted building outside of town we can use?

[clickclickbloom]

Well you definitely used a method I never would have thought of.

[She folds her arms and gives a smile. Glad he appreciates her idea.]

Creepy music and ambush spider all in one. Everyone wins. Except for the person who ends up goo'ed.

[Come on. He's a fun morally questionable alchemist. This will provide her with an even better challenge the next time she storms the fortress. Besides, She's stolen an military airship back in her own world. While she was doing it for the right reasons, it was still pretty darn illegal and dangerous.

Best birthday ever?]

I'll uh... Help you patch up some of the bullet holes I made.

And yeah, It wont last if we keep upping the ante. I'll see if I can find something. Having a bit more room to move around would be nice too.

[droptheious]

Thaaaat's me, thinking outside the box.

[Varian thinks so far outside the box, the box tends to be in a while other Kingdom. ]

Well, that would be their fault for breaking into my home.

[Or. You know. Just visiting. But anyone who knows him understands the gauntlet they run in dropping in on him anyway.

This is definitely the best birthday ever. He grins a lopsided grin. ]

Aww, that's okay. They add to the aesthetic! [He sweeps a hand through the air dramatically. ] "Ruby Rose was here!".

Sure! Sounds like a plan.

[clickclickbloom]

It is pretty creative home security system. I've got to give you points for that.

[She returns that grin with one of her own.]

Well if you like them they can stay. I'll try not to add anymore though. There's a fine line between leaving my mark and turning your place into swiss cheese.

[droptheious]

Thanks. I figure in this place, it can't hurt to be safe.

[After the whole burning alive incident he doesn't trust the Townspeople at all.]

Yeaaaaaaaah, I still want a home to come back to, so I think we've hit the maximum amount of bullet holes already.

[clickclickbloom]

It's why I sleep with a giant scythe.

[Yeah. The towns people are total jerks. Let's never get tossed in a burning building again.]

That's completely fair and reasonable. Who would have thought I'd use up my quota in one day?

[droptheious]

A perfectly reasonable course of action, right there.

[Also she Neo who's actively trying to kill her.]

I wouldn't! But I guess that's goes to show me for not having enough faith in your ability to shoot up my house.
