Creepy Crawlies (Jack)

[Amber Krasenski]

Pine needles carpeted the forest, although the trees themselves still kept a fair bit of green on their boughs. The canopy of leaves prevented the sun from bearing down directly upon their heads, enshrouding the cabins in cool shadow. Amber was grateful for this, as th cabins themselves had no airconditioning, and the creaking fans that spun unsteadily on the ceiling were of questionable value.

Although it wasn't curfew yet he hadn't wished to be seen, a bit embarrassed to be spending time in Jack's cabin. Not because Jack wasn't nice (he was) but because, heaven help him, he thought Jack was cute. And he knew Jack's reputation, but that didn't deter him, instead serving to embarrass him more.

He had shifted into his spider form, trying not to be too distracted by all the delectable insects and the cool shady spots to build webs as he climbed the wall to Jack's cabin, skittering in through a tear in the netting of the window.

He then inched down the wall, hoping that none of Jack's cabin mates spotted him; he didn't want to be squashed. That would spoil the camping trip for him, and probably for the school as well.

[Jack McCarthy]

Now this was more like it! This was camping! Not that Bear grills living in crappy tents fighting against the elements and drinking one’s urine. This was how a real man camps, in a pre build cabin with beds. That was how real men did it!

Of course his cabin wasn’t nearly as luxurious as he would had liked, he could be a lot more comfortable if he didn’t have to share his living space or if it was a whole lot bigger and would it kill them to add a little heat? But all in all not the worst it could have been. It served it’s purpose nicely.

Jack was lying on his bunk lighting a cigarette, relaxed as a man could possibly be, when he saw out the corner of his eye a spider crawling on a wall nearby. Of course if Jack thought about it for even a second he would reclaim that he recently met a pretty young woman who had the power to turn into a spider…but like always Jack choose to act first and think later as he went to grab a nearby fly swatter, jump off his bed and slowly approached the spider.

“I got ya, you little fucker.”

(OOC: A thousand pardons it took so long. I legit just noticed it was up a few days ago)
