<Jar_Mimic>In the apartment of the doll master, two people are getting ready to meet a drider.  One is a little girl.  The other is a six armed Frankenstein's monster.  "Alright, Erina," Natasha states to her latest and arguably greatest creation, "Rea will be here any second.  Now, you remember what I told you, right?  I love her ALMOST as much as I love you.  So be on your best behavior, okay?"  To which, Irina nods her head energetically,
<Jar_Mimic>the tentacles dangling from it flopping around just as much.  "Good girl.  She should be up any minute now.  I asked the dolls to let her in.  If she decides to come in through the front door for once."
<Eprlide>"Who are you talking too?" Comes a voice from -just- outside the door. It is quite obvious to whom this voice belongs to.
<Jar_Mimic>"Oh!  She's here!"  Hopping straight to her feet, the little girl rushes to the door and throws it wide open.  "Rea!  Guess what!  I had another daughter!  Please, come and meet Erina!"  After Nat steps out of the way, what Rea would see is a girl who appears to be in her late teenage years, with mostly green skin, a modest build, and well filled out features.  Her green eyes have a slight luminescent glow, and canine ears twitch
<Jar_Mimic>and swivel atop her head.  A head which has a mass of pink tentacles draping down instead of hair.  A gently wagging tail peeks out from behind her ample hips.  Her cargo shorts reveal a pair of unnaturally blue legs which are lanky and long, ending with webbed, suction-cupped feet.  Her relatively normal looking torso sports six arms, which peek sprout from a red shirt with six small sleeves.  The set of arms where they would
<Jar_Mimic>normally be are finned and slender, with light webbing between the fingers.  The much more webbed set below are thicker and more masculine, and the razor-like nails on each finger are the most prominent of any set.  The set above are not green, but more of a pink tinged grey.  Their biceps are held together with what appear to be snapping cords of exposed muscle, while the forearms extend to a length that nearly allows these arms
<Jar_Mimic>to drag on the floor.  They end with hands so disproportionately large that they could comfortably grasp a human being’s head.  The end result of these things together is a girl who is unnaturally tall and top heavy, whose appearance gets more and more alien the further one’s eyes drifts away from the center line of her form.
<Eprlide>"...What?" Rea seems a bit confused at this new creation of hers, looking at some sort of amalgamation of very different things. "Natasha, did you just make Cthullu?" She asks with a bit of a serious tone.
<Jar_Mimic>"Rea!"  Looking less than pleased, Nat leads her out of the apartment and closes the door.  "Rea, she can hear you, you know.  It's rude to comment on someone's appearance like that."
<Eprlide>"What? I didn't mean it as an insult!" Rea yells back like she didn't think of it that way. "I thought Cthullu looks kinda cool! It was just the first thing that came to my mind."
<Jar_Mimic>Natasha puts her hands up defensively.  "Alright, alright, fair enough.  Come on in."  Once the door opens back up, she immediately rushes over to the only person in the room with a comparable amount of limbs to Rea.  "Here, dear, bend down."  And the creature does.  Her mother immediately begins to smooth tentacles out so that they're only hanging down the back of her head instead of the two or three that was hanging in front of
<Jar_Mimic>her face.  "There we go.  See?  She looks perfectly precious.  Isn't that right, baby?"  She gives her a kiss on the cheek, causing Erina to stand back up again.  "Mama!  I'm embarass!"
<Eprlide>"Oh dear..." Rea giggles and just flops those tentacles back into place. "Just let her be who she wants to be! She looks cute just the way she is, there's nothing you need to do for that." She giggles and moves a hand over to pat the new girl on the top of her head. "How old is are you? How much have you learned from Natasha so far?" The drider asked Erina.
<Jar_Mimic>Eri, who's just over seven feet tall due to how long her frog legs get when she stands up straight, is difficult for Rea to reach.  But when she sees her reaching up for her, she ducks her head a bit to accommodate her.  "Oh, me is...  I mean, I'm a week old.  Mama and other mama have been teaching me lots of things.  Me will be...  I mean, I'm gonna be really smart!"
<Eprlide>"Well, being smart takes a lot of time. And it takes learning from sources that aren't your mommas! Ask to learn how to read sometime, and then you'll really get going!" Rea giggles and uses her drider form to reach up higher to pat her.
<Jar_Mimic>"Oh, me know...  I mean, I know how to read!"  With one of her masculine arms, she grabs Rea by the wrist and starts to turn around, tugging her just a little bit.  But then she freezes, letting go.  "Um, want to see me read?  I'll read for you!"
<Eprlide>"Woah!" Rea feels the strong tug from the girl and is almost carried away, stopped just shy by the girl realizing it's polite to ask. "No no no, it's okay! I believe you! Natasha wouldn't forget something as vital as learning how to read. Right?" She turns to ask Natasha herself with a small giggle.
<Jar_Mimic>The little girl smiles.  "Erina.  What's the rule between using 'a' and 'an' in a sentence."  To which, the creature's face lights up with recognition.  "Oh, I know this one!  You use 'an' when the word following it begins with a vowel, and you use 'a' when the next word begins with a consonant!"
<Eprlide>"Good, good!" Rea smiles and pats the girl on the top of her head more. "Has she been outside at all yet? Or are you waiting for a good chance to do it?"
<Jar_Mimic>As happy as Nat is to see her favorite person and her new daughter getting along so well, her smile gets even bigger when Rea brings that up.  "Oh, no, not yet.  We've still be trying to build up to that."  She giggles.  "But if you wanted to be her first time out, just like you did with Yoka, I'd be happy for you to go out with her."
<Eprlide>Rea thinks about it before looking back at Natasha. "Why can't it be all three of us?"
- Ralphone is now known as Ral
<Jar_Mimic>"Yeah, why not all three!" Erina exclaims in reply, reaching down to scoop up her mother in one of her oversized hands, "And other mother, too!  All four!  I wanna go with all four."  Natasha sighs.  "Eri.  What did I tell you about boundaries."  "Oh!  Sorry."  The little girl is set down before she continues.  "Alright, all four of us can go out sometime soon, then."
<Eprlide>"Overeager, isn't she?" The girl giggles and looks at Nat again. "First Yoka and now her. They must get along so well, don't they?"
<Jar_Mimic>Nat chuckles.  "She was only overeager when she was around you, Rea.  Me and Lil certainly don't get to see her that way much.  Of course, she has been a bit more energetic since Erina's joined us.  Why, she even went to get a job at the Circlet just to set a good example."
<Eprlide>"Oh! Thats cool! Now she gets to go out and meet new people and earn money!" Rea smiles at that fact before remembering that there's someone here that is the bigger focus for them. "Ah, right. Well how about later in the week we can do that?"
<Jar_Mimic>"Yeah, yeah!" Erina exclaims, squatting down into a position that really does make her look somewhat like a frog, "Can we, mama, can we?"  Although her eyes always glow a bit of a dull green, they flare to life a bit more as she looks upon her mother expectantly.  "Alright, honey, alright.  We can go outside then.  But only if you're good, okay?"  To which, her daughter nods her head energetically.
<Eprlide>"Lets hope you're a good girl!" Rea says as she does a different way of showing appreciation; scratching under the girl's chin and feeling up those face tentacles. It's probably not a lewd thing, right?
<Jar_Mimic>Considering all of the tentacles are on the back of the head, and none are on the face, they definitely look more like like a bizarre stand-in for hair rather than anything obviously sexual.  They're pink and taper to rounded tips, but just hang there harmlessly.  They're not even wet.  Just soft and squishy.  "I will be, I will be!"  They do twitch a little bit when she moves.  And especially when Rea grabs one.  They seem to
<Jar_Mimic>bunch up around her hand, giving it a warm little hug, though she doesn't seem to notice they do that.
<Eprlide>Rea certianly notices, bringing up her tentacle-wrapped hand up to her face and showing it to her. "Do they normally do this?" She asks with a tilt of her head.
- Ral quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
<Jar_Mimic>In this case, Erina barely gets a glance in, as the tentacles already begin to release the hand as it's brought about toward her face.  By the time she's looking, it's only a few tips sliding out from between her fingers.  "Do what?  This?"  This time, one tentacle very deliberately raises up and wraps lightly around her wrist.  This appears to be intentional on her part.
<Eprlide>"Yea, but they like, did it on their own when I petted them? Here, can you feel it?" With one wrist already preoccupied the other hand goes over and tries to replicate that effect.
<Jar_Mimic>When she thrusts her hand into the mass of tentacles, they once again bend a little bit to hug her hand.  But, this time, they release right away.  Perhaps it's a reflexive thing, as it doesn't seem to be taking now that she's paying attention.  "Y-yeah, yeah, I feel.  Is bad thing?"
<Eprlide>"Oh, I wouldn't say so." Rea says with a small smile, pulling her hands back. "But it might catch some people off guard. I would reccomend just warning people that want to touch your tentacles that they will do that.
<Jar_Mimic>Eri nods weakly, but it's Nat who speaks up.  "Well, Rea, what happens when you try to poke someone in the eye?  They blink.  Believe it or not, she actually has a second face on the back of her head.  Not an actual face, mind you, but she does have things that can see and hear and smell and such back there."
<Eprlide>"Wait what?" Rea takes a closer look at those tentacles. "So these are like... extra noses or something?"
<Jar_Mimic>"Well, not exactly.  But spread them far enough apart, and you'll see them on her scalp."  Having this described to Rea by Nat, Eri bunches her tentacles up a little more, trying to conceal her additional sensory organs.  "Yeah, can see and her in front just like see and hear in back."
<Eprlide>Rea sees how embarrassed the girl is and frowns a bit. "Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to make you feel embarrassed!" She approaches the girl and hugs her. "I hope we can get along."
<Jar_Mimic>And the creature hugs her right back, enveloping Rea's human half in arms.  "Me, too!  Rea Rea is funny!  Feel like soft and good smell.  Rea Rea is nice!"  She begins to try and spin around in the hug.
<Eprlide>"Woah, hey! Careful, I'm big!" Rea's legs begin to dig and grip into the floor but who knows how long that will last. "Ahaha, and only one Rea is fine! If you want my last name its Sugura! Rea Sugura!"
<Jar_Mimic>Although she tries to spin her, she stops after being warned and after encountering the resistance.  "Oh, me sorry!  I mean, I'm sorry.  Yeah, you're big.  Like me!  But you're big wide, and I'm big tall."  She lets her go.  "Rea Sugura!  Rea Sugura is nice."
<Eprlide>"Yes yes, I am a wide big. Something Natasha likes." She says with a small, fun giggle before patting her on the head, but then she has an idea and looks back to her dearest. "Nat! No more children unless I say so! I'm like a thrid mother to them so I should have some say!"
<Jar_Mimic>Chuckling deeply, Natasha offers her a bow that's just as deep.  "A perfectly reasonable request, my dearest.  I won't make a single new daughter without asking you first."  Of course, after saying that, a realization appears to occur to her.  "I guess I am putting a lot of responsibility onto you that you never asked for.  Sorry.  Rea."
<Eprlide>"Well... at least your learning. Here's your punishment." Rea curls her hand into a fist and lightly baps the top of Natasha's head. "When we get married I wont mind this as much, since it will be out children... but for now, this is enough, okay?"
<Jar_Mimic>The little girl accepts her boop with a humble smile.  "Of course, Rea.  I think three is about all I can handle, anyway.  And besides, I don't think I'm going to be able to make anyone quite like Erina here again."
- Ralphone is now known as Ral
<Eprlide>"Someone like her would take a lot of effort to make, huh?" Rea says with a small giggle, planting a smooch on her beloved. "I love you, Natasha. You can get a bit over your head sometimes, but I love you still."
<Jar_Mimic>She plants a smooch on her, too, causing Erina to turn her back, looking brown in her otherwise green face.  "I love you, too, Rea."
