anyway i finally gave a face to my character in fallen london </3

Lady Web, first name redacted or simply gifted in return of a emergency blunderbuss she always keeps with herself. Shady and cruel, she doesn't HAVE to beat up anyone who tries shit with her but she sure will always take the violent way out if necessary!!!!! she's also a widow apologist and she died 2 days into fallen london because she wanted to peep the horrors in that one bloody mirror at the carnival

I dubbed her Lady Web-- came out the first time as 'Lady, what you doing with your web?' but I digress. She had a neighbor of a sorts down the hall-- also in head grazing range if you weren't too careful-- whom we later named Lady Charlotte. Made since, Charlotte's Web and all. I told my roommate that Lady Web could stay, but only if she doesn't block the doorway like another furrow spider did last year-- that one was a male and he was an idiot. Was tense for a few nights here and there, but we came to an understanding, Lady Web and I.

Well, we noticed a trend with Lady Web. If it was very windy or cold, or even if it was a rainy night, she would stay tucked in a corner by the ceiling, safe from the wind. Come back out when it was chill again. She would go there most of the time in the day too, very neat. Well, last week, she tucked in real good because of a thunderstorm that came through. I didn't think anything of it when she didn't come out the following nights to say hello, only that it was odd she wasn't enjoying the good weather where it was clear skies for about 4 days straight.

Finally noticed the other night... Lady Web was gone. Lady Charlotte is still around, she's big as ever down the way. But Lady Web isn't in her nook. Her web, which she tended to painstakingly, is dusty and tattered, almost gone. She's nowhere to be seen around the doorway, not even on our Halloween wreath, where I had suspected she would go to. She's just gone.

I ain't asking for another spider to make itself at home-- not right now, not when the weather will be turning bad soon-- but even though she gave me a couple of spooks here and there, I kinda miss Lady Web. I'm hoping she just migrated and hasn't perished, even though I am aware furrow spiders only live for about 2 years. She seemed so lively, I just don't think it would be her time.

In spirit of the encroaching holiday, we'll be leaving her web up as long as we can. If she comes back, we don't want to seem like rude neighbors and give her a reason to web up the door. But if she doesn't... Well, I hope we weren't to loud when we would pass by her web, and that she had plenty of moths and mayflies and mosquitos to eat.

also i needed some icons for my fallen london #woman so. yea <3

fallen london is incredible
