I ended up finding more spiders than I expected in my hunt for our cabin, so if anyone needs wants some, just let me know. There are quite a few [...] black and yellow garden spiders, banded garden spiders, goldenrod crab spiders, and bold jumper spiders. The goldenrod crab and bold jumpers are fairly small. If you care about that.

[There's a small, precise sketch of each one of the spiders.]

[...] I can confine them to under my bed, if you want. But the garden spiders make nice webs. And none of them are poisonous. And There are only a few of each species.

At least a hundred. Because I'll never hit that

[...]

I'll think about it. We have to make sure we keep the cabin spooky but not over the top.

[heathclifflacey]

I think if you have a hundred you've got to be, like, a spider-themed Supervillain or something.

That's fair, I guess. A LITTLE over the top can be fun, though!

[opuntia]

I wouldn't be the worst super villain.

I can come do it at your cabin, if you want. You guys are a lot more ostentatious over the top than us. [...] I'll try to get them to put the webs as high as possible so you don't get a mouthful of glow web.

[heathclifflacey]

You'd be an AWESOME super villain!

I'm choosing to take that as a compliment. But hell yeah! Hook us up with some glowing spider webs! And I can probably duck if I have to.

[opuntia]

Thanks, I guess.

You're more than welcome to take that as a compliment. And [...] I'll see what I can do. But you won't be thinking about ducking in the middle of the night if you've got to move around, you know.

[heathclifflacey]

Definitely a COMPLIMENT! You'd be badass. Gooseberry's answer to Poison Ivy. [...] Plus spiders.

Okay. Yeah. Good point. But still!

[opuntia]

Poison Ivy Plus Spiders, my new alter ego.

[heathclifflacey]

It's sort of PERFECT. [...] I think we just found your Halloween costume! We can charm your hair red and everything.

[opuntia]

[...]

I'm not dressing up.

[heathclifflacey]

C'mon, Phi. It's Halloween. You HAVE to dress up.

[opuntia]

I definitely don't have to.

[heathclifflacey]

You definitely do have to. It'll be FUN! And besides, you're a prefect now. You have to, like, encourage school camaraderie or something.!! I'm pretty sure.

[opuntia]

That's not how being a prefect works.

[heathclifflacey]

Are you SURE? We should probably check with Nia.

[opuntia]

[...] Don't ask Nia. She'll probably side with you.

[heathclifflacey]

She totally will. That's why we need to ask Nia!

[opuntia]

I'll take points from Coppertale.

[heathclifflacey]

DUDE.

[opuntia]

I love my newfound power.

[heyitsnia]

Sorry, Heathcliff, honey. While prefects are certainly encouraged to attend all school functions, neither attending nor dressing up are requirements, although Ursula may be a little more strict about her Halloween dance dress code than I am about the standard uniform!

I'd certainly love to see Phi there in a super cool get up, either way.

[heathclifflacey]

SERIOUSLY? You're breaking my heart here, HG.

[...] But you think she SHOULD, right?

[opuntia]

Thanks Nia. Ha, Heathcliff.
