Prompts

1. Venture City in Peril! Dr. Devious’s army of Deviobots are ransacking the city! No, wait, Baron Von Tyrannosaur is back with another dinosaur army! No, wait, it's... really, ther's a lot of different ways a city can be imperiled. However, no matter the threat, it’s up to you, the Omegafriends, to save the day - but you’ll need to work together to repel the forces of evil.

2. A Hero is Born! What started as an ordinary day was thrown into chaos as your newfound superpowers began to suddenly awaken! What perilous problems and zany antics will this bring about? Stay tuned to find out!

3. The Adventure Mundane! It's not all over-the-top heroics here - sometimes, ordinary day-to-day life can be just as much trouble! On the trail of a story for the Daily Venture? Frantic last-minute studying for tomorrow's math test? Harassing people to sign petitions on street corners? Hitting the arcade to destroy simulated villains instead of real ones? The sky's the limit!

4. Welcome to the Omegabase! The super-secret underground Omegabase has it all - training centers, VR simulators, free snack machines, but most important is a whole lot of Supers! Take a minute to kick back and get to know your fellow heroes.

5. The Mighty Showdown! In the life of a Super, good and evil are always clashing in battle. Today, you’ve come face to face with one of the many supervillains threatening the future of Venture City! Who will rise and who will fall? Next issue: The shocking answer!

6. Time Warp! Chasing after Lady Blue's latest heist has left you temporarily stranded, along with your fellow heroes, in another era. Where and when have you gone, and how will you cope with the bizarre situation?

7. Wild Card! Got an idea for a thread or prompt that isn’t one of those? Make up your own! We won’t stop you.

"I see," Arachne says as she picks up a spider near by and pets it. "You are well traveled. I have never heard that Hades' domain called that before, but perhaps in other circles it is. I tend to stick with the Greek names."

She raises an eyebrow at the talk of these other spiders. "I may be the mother of all spiders on the planet, but i don't follow what they all do. I am not surprised that some sort of magic have twisted them into those sorts of creatures. Spiders tend to react strongly to magic and dark arts."

She does smile slyly at his assumption of her nature. "Most would say the opposite just based on my looks. Still, I am not one of the friendliest creatures you will meet."

"Sailed the unterzee with many a zailor," they stated, their voice as if they were reading from a script trying to do an announcer voice. "Magic though, I would surmise. Dark Arts originate with Devils but they are more than a little mystified with the correspondence," they went on, their voice taking on an American tinge, west coast.

"I have seen worse. Once was chased by a floating mountain supposedly given birth to by a wandering space crab. No, wait, that's more strange than actually scary. Huh," they rubbed their head, scepter in hand as they kept the candle out. It never dripped wax, remaining as long and as bright the entire time it was out.

[notsoitsybitsyspider]

"It seems you have encountered much darker and stranger things then I have," She said with a smirk, "And I have seen many of the ancient greek myths in person."

Every time he changed his accent and tone Arachne took note, but decided not to bring it up. "So after going to all these dark, mystic places, you decide to come to this city? There must be something quick special hidden here."

[grandthiefzens]

"Hrm... for one used to Neath, where edeath is absent and Devils are far from scary, the sun and light offers far more challenge than the depths of below. Most people from down there are afraid that simple sunlight might cause them to expire. Quite sad," they said. They spun their scepter around a few times before looking over at her.

"I can also tell when someone is trying to con me out of my secrets, too."

[notsoitsybitsyspider]

"I suppose darkness fears light the most," She mused to herself before winking a few of her eyes. "And was I that obvious?"

[grandthiefzens]

"I think Darkness would fear having the Correspondence written on it the most, but that's neither here nor there," they said, as if they were talking to a brick wall. Then back to her. "Yes. Very much so. It's like you have no subtly whatsoever. On a second note, would you like to hear me sing?"

[notsoitsybitsyspider]

"Well I wasn't trying to hide it. Its better to flat out ask someone then try to trick it out of them. At least with someone like you."

Arachne just crossed her arms and looked at the guy. "No, I don't think I would. I have a feeling it won't end well at all.

[grandthiefzens]

"Yes. I once wrote a symphony that made the instruments catch fire," they said, like this was an achievement. "Not sure why I would tell a fellow thief my possible scores if we weren't going to go into business together, though I would assume the mother of all spiders might think that beneath her."

[notsoitsybitsyspider]

"That must have been some powerful music," Arachne mused. "As for working together, it is not beneath me of course. Sometimes there are things I cannot steal on my own, and a true thief must recognize that."

[grandthiefzens]

"I would say so, yes. Though not something I ever tried to replicate. Though I think you're a thief after my own heart to admit something like that," the voice continued, seeming to finally sound like they were talking from inside the bell. Still completely un-placable accent though. He offers a hand over to her. "Partners? Or at least stay out of each other's hair unless we need each other?"

[notsoitsybitsyspider]

Arachne looks at he hand and smiles, offering him one of her mandibles in return, as she keeps her human arms crossed. "I prefer to think of it as associates in villainy, open for the idea of future endeavors."

[grandthiefzens]

"Well, I have much use to other villains, being one of the best myself," they said, looking at the mandibles. From their knowledge of arachnid anatomy, that would be similar to pulling on someone's cheek/teeth combined. They take a moment before giving it a perfunctory shake before removing from that hand from danger. They pick up their cane, still wary enough to keep the candle out.

"Anyways, I have a roost I must find, if you do not mind I shall abscond to it."
