Arachnophobia

I think I’ve found out something interesting about Attitude. Maybe it’s something about all faeries, I don’t know.

Earlier today, I was cleaning up Cleopatra’s terrarium. (Cleopatra is my pet tarantula, if you didn’t remember.) I generally clean it up every few months to make sure it’s… well, clean. While I was cleaning up, I put Cleo away in the kitchen sink, figuring she’d be safe (wouldn’t fall off the kitchen counter). Tarantulas can’t climb stainless. While I was busy cleaning up the terrarium, however, Attitude flew by to see what I was up to. When she noticed the terrarium was empty (i.e. there was no tarantula), she paled and look around in a panic. She didn’t say anything, but I know my faeries and this one was terrified. Finally, she spotted Cleo in the sink and flew away prudently.

“You shouldn’t let that creature roam freely,” she said, her voice breaking a little. “Those things are filthy.”

“She’s not free,” I replied, “she’s in the sink. She’s not going anywhere.”

Attitude shrugged.

“I can kill it for you, if you want,” she offered. When I shook my head, she continued. “You like that creature?”

“Yeah, I do. It’s not as dangerous as people say, you know.”

“They’re filthy,” she repeated. “Maybe I’ll kill it while you sleep or when you’re gone.”

And she flew away, not waiting for my reaction.

I guess faeries don’t like spiders much. At least Attitude doesn’t.

History of Faeries (I)

Last week, I questioned Minx to learn more about the history of faeries as well as the bad blood there is between them and humans. Bear in mind the following is a junior faerie’s opinion on the matter and it may be inaccurate in many ways. But perhaps it will help better understand how they feel about us.

ME: I’ve been meaning to ask you something. Attitude would never answer me this, but I hope you will.

MINX: Okie. Whatcha wanna know?

ME: Why do faeries hate humans so much?

MINX: Oh, THAT. Because we love you so much, s’why.

ME (after a pause): Not the answer I was expecting. But if I think about it, that’s an almost-human answer… We did something really bad, didn’t we?

MINX: Yup. You enslaved and killed lots of us.

ME: Well, if you tortured humans the way Attitude did me, I can imagine my ancestors would have gotten upset and–

MINX (frowning): No! That’s a silly notion! We LOVE humans, we almost can’t help–

Attitude arrived just at that moment and put a hand on Minx’s mouth.

ATTITUDE: Minx, you SHUSH now! I don’t care how much you like your human, you do NOT share our history with them.

MINX: MmffF?

ME: C’mon, Attitude, you don’t need to hide things from me. I’m not your enemy…

She glared at me and pointed a threatening finger.

ATTITUDE: YOU of all people better stay away from me! I may not be allowed to curse you anymore, but if you don’t want to be sexually assaulted by every person you meet in the street, you’ll back off.

ME: Whoa, all right, all right, I hear you. I just thought–

ATTITUDE: Don’t THINK! That’s how you humans get into TROUBLE. A little feeling wouldn’t hurt you, from time to time.

And with this, she let Minx go and flew away. I looked at my little faerie friend and saw tears welling up in her eyes.

MINX: I’m rilly sorry, Jaycee.

And she flew away.

Life Update

So here’s how things have been lately.

First, Brooke and Meghan. With Brooke’s “situation,” you might have been wondering how their couple survived that setback. It probably won’t surprise you that the whole thing freaked Meghan out in the beginning. She already knew male-Brooke from way back, when she and I used to date, so the appearance change was less than a shock. The real problem was the… y’know, lack of male tools and all. As it turns out, though, Brooke’s a master at this particular type of craft and I get hints (from Meghan, actually) that some earth-shattering orgasms have changed her mind.

Jennifer is gone. Not from my life, I mean, but gone from the country. She took an IT contract in France (somewhere in Provence) until the end of August. I follow her adventures on facebook and she seems to be enjoying herself quite a bit. Her French was already very good (I think), so I’m assuming it’ll be great when she gets back.

Morgan’s been coming over to my place from time to time. Attitude is the one who’s insisted I have her come over here because she wants to “study” her a bit more. For me, well… you know the drill. Lots of sex and all that. Attitude hasn’t shared her conclusions with me, but Minx says that the curses on Morgan are pretty complicated. She also says that Attitude gets very upset when Minx asks her questions about it. I think Attitude doesn’t actually understand the magic that’s on Morgan and that makes her irritable.

There’s been an interesting development in my faerie sight, by the way. I’m calling it the Nudge. As you probably know, I can tell a woman’s level of arousal pretty easily thanks to the Sight. That’s been a fantastic help in finding out if I have a shot or not with a girl. But there’s this gray, middle area where a girl is neither interested nor repelled by me. Normally, things either go one way or the other depending on what I say or do. But lately, with some coaching from Minx, I’ve discovered I can nudge a girl favorably toward me. I guess it’s more of a tug than a nudge, but why quibble over semantics.

So with this in hand, yesterday I went to a dance club where Brooke and I used to go and decided to try my luck with some of the girls there. I’m glad to report it was a success. I left with a dozen phone numbers, some from girls who even insisted I take it without my asking. I’m kind of tempted to challenge Brooke and see which one of us can get the most numbers in an evening. Am I becoming a ladies’ man? I guess so.

There’s just one down side to the whole thing: doing Nudges repeatedly gave me a pretty nasty headache by the end of the evening. But hey, I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, right?
