[Open] Smile!

[green-arachnid.livejournal.com]

Who: Spinrak, anyone
What: She goes around and smiles.
Where: Around school
When: Friday the 22nd. All day
Warnings: Creepy smiles for everyone.

After the talk with Sasha, Spinarak felt a lot better about herself. She had always thought her smiles were too scary to show to others, but after the compliments the Charizard had given her she felt as though she could smile more openly. Not that she'd smile at the mirror. No, she still couldn't handle looking at her own smile. Practice makes perfect, right? She was going to go and smile at everyone.

[ooc: Just put the day (and location, if you want) your dude would run into Spinarak! It'll mostly be a conversation or something! \o/]

Ha ha you didn't use a mask! Vinnie's master plan was clearly working, if he were actually clever enough to make master plans like that. He's not. But that was some proper body language there. Good job.

"Well, I made you upset cuz I wanted t'eat you, right? And you need a trainin' partner who can't get poisoned too easy." Half poison type bros!

His big brotherly instincts were taking over any sort of appetite he had for her. Maybe it was because he could relate to that bottom-of-the-barrel feeling of wanting to get stronger - so he wanted to help.

Spinarak tilted her head as she folded her arms across her chest, trying to show that she was confused. When she first talked to Vinnie over on the networks, she had gotten scared more than upset. Do people usually feel more upset than fear in this case? ...Did she even know how upset feels like? She read so many books where the characters become angry and start yelling, but she never had the chance to experience that herself yet.

"...I felt...scared..." She replied slowly. "...But not upset..."

Vinnie scratched his chin. Personally, being scared made him pretty pissed off, and it definitely, most certainly made him want to punch things. Guess it took all kinds.

"Oh, that's funny. I'm always upset when I'm scared. But not everyone's like that." Hrm, this might be a slower process than he thought.

There was one thing he was sure of, though: "You'll get more confident 'bout yourself once you know you can kick some ass."

Kicking some asses... That phrase had an odd, but nice feeling around it. She wished she could be more like Spiderman, too... And then she had a small realization.

"...I'm...taking a smash...fund...a...mentals class....practice fighting..." She said very slowly. "...Maybe I can...get some...confidence there..."

They were learning about the basics of fighting there anyways, she figured there would be a day where they would end up having a sparring session someday! Probably in the far future... Boy did she jinx it.

vinnie stop teaching her swear words

Vinnie lit up with a smile. "That sounds perfect! Maybe there'll be sparring!" He loved sparring. Even if he was a Venusaur, he knew he always had room to get stronger. And then he got his ass kicked

"Maybe we could spar sometime." god vinnie no "Or train. Just for practice, I mean, not a real fight. I could give you some tips."

next thing we know, spinny will try to swear and fail

Eep, she definitely wasn't ready for sparring just yet. She'd be squashed in one move. But practicing sounded like a great idea! Spinarak gave a few energetic nods.

"That sounds...like a really...good...idea..." She replied.

"'Course it does." Training was always a good idea.

But... not right now. It was still too early in the morning for him to have the energy stored up. Such was the life of a Grass type - he needed way more sun as a Venusaur than he ever did as an Ivy. "I still need an hour've sun before I'm good for the day. Wanna hang out and catch some bugs?"

Bugs were attracted to sweet smells, and none were sweeter than Vinnie.

[green-arachnid.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, catching bugs! She was real good at that! Spinarak gave a scary smile to show how happy she was. "Yes...!"

With that, she took off her magic bracelet to turn into her spider form so she could make a web somewhere close by.

Vinnie had to crack a grin as well. "There you go!" Good time for smile, Spinner - even if it was a rather eerie one.

Aw, she was so cute for a tasty bug.

Might as well change out of this human form too. Having actual petals caught a lot more rays. Vinnie shifted back with a Pop! and snuggled back into the grass, feeling content with himself.
