Stringing a Web [Open]

Alanys Hyacinth tying up a length of silk purchased that day (cost deducted, please) so she can practise dance in the true style of Kalinor's Aerial Dancers. People may or may not be watching her.

Considered one of the most mysterious cities in Mizahar, Alvadas is called The City of Illusions. It is the home of Ionu and the notorious Inverted. This city sits on one of the main crossroads through The Region of Kalea.

How many people have ever observed a spider creating her web from beginning to end? How many have watched the beauty of legs drawing silk from a spinerette to be placed so daintily to another frail strand of silk? Who looks at a spider once and deems them ugly? Or frightening? Who believes that their webs are art?

Alanys Hyacinth extended her long arm, placing five willowy digits on the solid wall and lifting herself up another few inches, repeating the movement with her other hand. Her slight body was wrapped in burgundy cloth, a long coil of pale silk curled around her slim waist and a large swath of violet silk draped over her narrow shoulders. The wall she was mounting was the wall to a house in Alvadas. Her goal was to knot the silk around her waist around some protrusion in the house's wall, and then do the same to a house across the narrow street. Of course, being in Alvadas, Alanys' plan could go awry due to the shifting nature of the streets and houses. She would just have her faith that Alvadas wouldn't betray her or play pranks on her today.

Another problem was that Alanys didn't know how to tie a knot other than the easily released one she usually used on her silk when she tied it to her knee. That was a hurdle she could cross when the time came, though, and so she disregarded it for now.

To any and almost all who observed, Alanys would appear as a dark red spider with pale limbs climbing the dark stone wall under Leth's illumination. A spider spinning her Web in white silk across the streets of Alvadas.

OOCAs it says in my summary (coolness, btw), the charge for the silk Alanys is using should be tacked on by the storyteller who will grade this thread. Please and thank you!

There was one observer today, one easily overlooked. A small raven perched upon the other side of the street, not far from the hook she intended to hook the other end on. The bird looked intently at the spidery figure, his eyes scanning the very aura of the creature... not a spider at all! Yet, it was spinning silk all the same? ...was it just another illusion. That knot didn't look too convincing, perhaps that silk would be easier to figure out if he took it away! If it really was coming from the giant not-spider, it would be quick to figure out.

Nowa, the young raven watching now, took off, and circled around. It would be very hard, he could see that, but such practice would always come in handy stealing a mouse from an owl, or food from a plate someone was eating off of. It's just silk, Nowa could drop it the moment it was too heavy for him. He watched the patterns of the person, and when he saw the change, a relaxing in her aura that implied she was done, he swooped in and snagged the silk cloth, pulling the knot free!

Shortly after, letting go, but not before glancing at the strange sight, to see how it changed. He landed upon the other side of the street once again, and watched for his answers. "Cra-woo!"

OOCThis thread looked lonely.

Common as a Raven is not so easy. I wrote myself a guide in my CS.
