8: Seeking Serpants and Smoke

  Dumb again.

  Irritation, but New-me did better, instructions simple.

  Go see Pretty [Serpent] first...

  [Lagomorph] far far far... [Smoke] maybe closer.

  Will ignore [Lagomorph]. [Wasp] close and scary.

  If no progress, [Lagomorph]

  Put [Grubs] in [Cocoon Backpack]

  Back near serpent

  Not seeing it

  Still Water

  Going in cave, climb above water to do so.

  Slow going, stone... wet, not impossible.

  ...[Un-ending] [insects] approaching from willow.

  They don't see, I safe. They are broken.

  I climb more, they don't see.

  They killed bug that passing by.

  Not good, Pond is half-way to [Purple Hat]

  Oh... from here I see serpent.

  Underwater, water not obscure from here.

  It slowly drifting in pond

  Slithering and swimming, deeper into Cave

  I climb further, follow it deeper

  Much deeper, deeper, cave twist, can't see entrance.

  Water stops, serpent slithers up onto sand.

  This looks like nest, hidden safely.

  Serpent curls around shiny stones.

  Stone and serpent lay on textile.

  Not silk, rougher. I must touch.

  So small, takes ages to climb.

  Serpent is resting, eyes closed.

  Onto sand, across sand, paused to eat some grub.

  Inside cave has some insects, nothing big.

  some bigger than me, Serpent not eat

  Close, little closer, little more Touch.

  Good blue box, New-me can see the.

  OH! Um, Eye is open. It is looking at me.

  Serpents head just moved to keep looking at me.

  Back off slowly, I am a normal spider. Not even big enough to eat.

  It is not closing eye, but isn't moving towards me.

  Tilted head to follow as I climb.

  Getting far away, still watching.

  Almost out of cave. Can't see Serpent, it is still watching.

  Safe, outside cave.

  Forgot about [Unended] many attacking!

  Need to escape, too many!

  [Serpent] attacking! Smashing all bugs.

  I run away.

  Far enough away, I hide it still smashing [Horde]

  I leave before it looks for me.

  Cliff is high, but good at climbing.

  Climbing

  Climbing

  Climbing

  Very tall Cliff, need rest, eat [Grub]

  Look back, see Willow, see Scary [Un-ended] and it's [Horde] too many.

  Don't see [Serpent], must have gone into puddle.

  Black clouds closer.

  It is very dark.

  I just climbed top.

  Black clouds coming from many places

  many places has many swatters in it, some have [Hats] some have almost [Sarong]

  Old Old memories say swatters swat. New-me still wanted to see}

  Scary

  This is for New-me, hopefully bigger numbers help me not-end.

  Be grateful.

  This is community, this is social.

  Old Old memories were hazy, but swatters always together.

  Different from other creatures

  Curious nests and non-sticky webs. Sturdy and long lasting.

  Twigs, trees, sticks, and stones, cut up and put together.

  New Me will understand more

  Seeing many textiles.

  All swatters have several.

  Some in middle of Swatter nest.

  Some being made by swatter, like wood, clay, and stone.

  Nests house multiple swatters

  Some swatter big, some less big.

  Swatter using Social all the time.

  Oh... That is a creature, friendly with Swatter

  And that, that creature looks like scary [Un-ending] but is not.

  That nest has silk, that nest has textiles. Explore.

  [Constructs]?

  What are... what is small swatters

  Bigger than me, not moving. Not... not creatures but almost

  Strange, not important, but must touch textiles.

  Boxes maybe teach New-me things about textiles and silk.

  Textile and silk important to class.

  "Habiari buibui mdiogo, subiri, ni naini hiyo."

  Freeze!

  Swatter noticed, get ready to skitter.

  "Hiiyo ni... umevaa ngiuo?" Tick Tick Tick "Lo, weiwe ni, hiyo inaipendeza, Mama, buiibui amevaa ngiuo"

  The Swatter isn't moving closer. Has it noticed?

  It is not, it must be looking elsewhere. I am close.

  "Ni kwiamba mikoba kidogo? na upanga? hiiyo ni hariri kwa haikika. Nashiangaa ikiwa umeiwafanya au buiibui mwiingine."

  It is making sounds, but swatter is missing me.

  I touch silk, and get box, I touch rougher textile and get box.

  New-me should be happy.

  "Subiiri ... ni weiwe, unataizama kiitambaa. Utambuliisho wako. Lo, niilijua wanyama wanaiweza kupata ujiuzi, lakini kamwe ujiuzi wa biiashara. Nataimani ningekuwa na lenizi bora ya tathimini. Hunielewi wewe?"

  Another textile another box. I should touch the not-[Constructs]

  More boxes. New-me will be happy.

  "Nadhiani nina la msiingi, wewe ni nini. Lo, buiibui wa kawiaida wa ngiazi ya kwainza, wa chiini sana. Oh, huna jina la kwainza? Lakiini jina lako la mwiisho ni [Artisan]"

  The swatter said [Artisan] I turn to look at it, does it know, has it seen me.

  "Lo, kiitu kidogo, wacha niizuie macho yangu. Naam, nadihani wewe ni mpya. Kweli, katiika kesi hiyo, nawieza kukuisaidia. Wewe ni mwainamke, ngoja tuione... vipi, nakuipigia simu..."

  Good, it looked away, it hasn't noticed me. I should be good. I saw a few small pieced of textile, I will take that with me, back to the nest.

  "Kysa o'Mnoko"
