The Adventures of Arachne Baenre

Bastet's Punishment
Part 3

Elsewhere in the house I heard the commotion and came running. “Arachne? Bastet? What’s going- Oh,” I said as I saw Bastet on the floor and quickly realized what the thud I’d heard was.





“Arachne! You can’t do that to her! I know you’re mad, but I promised to use her body to create a miniature version of you! I know you don’t believe I am capable of such magic, but I definitely can’t bring the body back from the dead! If you injure her in a way that doesn’t heal then the mini-you will probably be stuck with that same injury too!”





“Do you question how I treat my servants?” Arachne thundered, her voice large and commanding compared to her size.





“No. No! Of course not! I simply don’t want you to do something you regret later!” I explained, realizing I was risking finding myself at the receiving end of the drow’s rage as well. I knew she wasn’t scared to physically punish me.

Arachne glared at me fiercely. I stayed quiet so I didn’t invoke her wrath further.





On the floor, Bastet stirred. She wasn’t dead, just dazed.

Bastet's Punishment
Part 4

Arachne looked down on Bastet. “I should sacrifice you to Lolth! And perhaps some day I still will should Agent be unsuccessful. In the meantime, imprisonment. It’s far better than you deserve…Wanre! Go fetch a containment device. NOW!”





I ran off to find something. Something that could actually hold a small goddess avatar. Cardboard box? No, a regular cat could escape that. Plastic bin? No… In the kitchen I found something, but Bastet wasn’t going to enjoy it. Cats are liquid, right? She’d be okay.

“Here you go, Arachne. It’s the best I could find quickly. Maybe tomorrow we could go out and pick up a cat carrier?”





Arachne took the jar. “No, no… This is perfect. It looks uncomfortable.”

“Oh, maybe take the seal off so some air can get in through the crack,” I pointed out.

“Oh Wanre… You are too soft. She will just have to learn to sit calmly and conserve her air, won’t she? Com here, Bastet. Welcome to your new home.” She held the jar in her lap, looking at Bastet expectantly.





Slowly, Bastet accepted her fate and got into the jar. Once she was in Arachne closed the lid and latched it. “Use this time to think about your failures and how you can serve me better in the future, should you wish to have one. My wanre’s promises may have saved you today, but it may not in the future…” she warned, holding up the jar to inspect her prisoner.





OOC: That's the end for now! Thanks for reading everyone!

She actually looks quite comfortable in that jar to be honest!

This is also why I don't get Nymeria any pets ....

You've probably made the right decision there, my friend! I'm pretty sure Bastet is going to end up getting me in trouble...

Shhhhh! Don't let Arachne find that out or she's going to make me construct a little rack or something to put Bastet on! That is what I mean by cats being liquid!

Poor little doll

The Christmas Gift

“Arachne! One of your admirers sent you a gift! Come try it on!”





“Hmm. Very nice. This material is very soft! But what are these things on the front? You keep looking at them.”





“What? Oh! The pompoms! Yes, they’re just decoration. And so soft!”





“Hey, sit down for a moment. It’s Christmas and it’s traditional to get something for the people you care about. I got you a little something, Arachne. Here.”





“...It’s a little box.”





“Open it!”





“Hmm… What have we here?”








“It’s a knife!”





“And a sheath for it! It’ll strap to your thigh! Let me help you put it on!”





“It’s perfect! It’s just what I wanted! I’m sure you realize I didn’t get you anything.”

“Can I have a promise that you won’t stab me with that?”

Arachne considered this for a moment. “Okay. At least for a few days.”

Arachne looks genuinely surprised to have received that knife as a present! Great costume too - it's a nice prize to get from a photo competition!

I was tempted to get the girls some proper Christmas outfits, but they had to settle just for hats this year! Nymeria does look quite good in a fluffy Christmas hat though...

At least Arachne's outfit looks to have a bell around her neck - you might hear her coming when she decides to break her word and try out her new hardware ..

She looks cool 😎
