Holy crap. I can’t believe I bought THAT, of all things.
A tarantula.
I’m just back from the exotic pet store. They had a ton of wild and unusual creatures, from iguanas to porcupines, snakes, and — like I said — tarantulas. I really wanted something low maintenance, and what REALLY sold me on it is that you only need to feed it once a week. Crickets and worms are just perfect, apparently.
Yeah, you may think it’s creepy, but personally, I like the idea. This isn’t a pet that’s going to need a lot of food, or maintenance, and it’s totally rad.
I got a FRIKKIN’ tarantula!
(And with any luck, it’s a radioactive type, and if it ever bites me, I’ll get superhuman powers!)
Shyeah, right!

More likely wrap you up in webbing, biding you to the bed and leaving you helpless for a fairie-mad sex-crazed female friend… >.>

Er, binding, I mean.

Did you name it yet?

I was thinking Cleopatra. Or just Cleo. It kind of combines regal and lethal.

The fuck is wrong with you!!! Arachniphobiac here 😛

Possibilities that occur to me off the top of my head:
#1: It starts trying to eat Minx and any other faeries in your general area. General whackiness ensues.
#2: Animal-to-human transformation. Jaycee gets a woman in his life who is ‘all hands’, possibly into bondage, and tries to kill and eat him after/during sex.
#3: Human-to-animal transformation: If not the faeries, then something else turns Jaycee into a male tarantula for a time, just long enough for him to sire a brood of spiders with Cleo, leaving him with ethical ramifications and worries about the nature of the hatchlings.
#4: The spider is actually a different kind of creature in disguise. Remember that most people never see faeries as anything but winged insects, because they haven’t been targeted for sex-hexes (yet).

There’s no way this could go wrong.
Maybe.

A) Congratulations! Tarantulas are freaking awesome.
B) I really hope Minx didn’t read the last part of your post. 🙂

Fairies too, perchance?

We can but hope. Though I might be a bit sad if Minx was webbed and drained to a husk; she has been helpful at least once.
