Will it be good news or bad? (Alternate answers welcome.)
The bad with the good...
Ivanna listens carefully as whoever or whatever it is continues to make noise upstairs. This lasts for a few more seconds before falling silent. Suddenly, the door at the top of the stairs swings open. The first thing she sees is a dark blue sneaker shrouded by dark blue baggy denim pants. While thoughts run through her mind of who and what was coming down the stairs, a familiar female voice spoke. "Fucking thing!" It was Zin'qosh's voice that was attached to the figure coming down the steps.
Zin'qosh's white pleated bell sleeve blouse came into view next. However, this made it impossible to tell what size her body was. She came into full view upon reaching the bottom of the steps. She had an oval face, pale ivory skin, shoulder length curly honey blonde hair, small straight nose, full lips, rounded arch eyebrows, and ocean blue hooded eyes. Incha turns his attention to Zin'qosh while lifting his chin slightly. She growls lowly. "That fucker is going to double cross us!" He tilts his head slightly while his brow furrows.
She clenches her fists. "Ugh! I feel so, so... Fucking stupid!" Her upper body quivers from her muscles clenching. "I should have known the money was too good for a job like this." He gently touches her left shoulder while gesturing with his chin toward the stairs. She lets out a sigh. The tension upon her face appeared to vanish with that sigh. "You're right. We need to cut our losses and get out of here." Ivanna blinks while trying to wriggle out of her restraints without success. "What about me?"
Zin'qosh shrugs. "Don't know. Don't care." She glances at Incha. "We haven't got long. My informant said that pervert will be here in a few minutes." Ivanna's eyes widen as she tries harder to get out. "Can you at least let me out?" Incha gestures again with his chin toward the stairs before glancing at Ivanna's restraints. Zin'qosh grins. "Good idea." She and Incha begin to walk out of the room. "Have fun escaping, Ivanna." She chuckles as they reach the top of the steps. Less than a minute later, a door slam is heard upstairs.
Within seconds of the door slamming, the warm and sticky substance restraining Ivanna began to decay. It took a little over a minute for it to decay enough for her to pull free. "Alice!? Twisted!?" She yells, leaving the room as quickly as she could. Once she reached the top of the steps, she looked around the barren house. She checks every room to no avail. 'Where are they?' She searches high and low once again, but the results were the same. 'Do they have several hideouts?' She scratched the top of her head while heading toward the front door.
However, when she walked outside of the building she was met with a terrible surprise. She had been in one of many buildings within a warehouse full of prefabricated houses and the like. "Oh, fuck me..." She blinks before focusing. 'I think it is safe to assume that those spiders left Alice and Twisted in different buildings nearby. I just need to be methodical about this...' Before she could begin her search, she hears an odd hissing sound a few feet behind her. "Twisted?"
Alas, upon turning around, she sees two reddish brown human sized centipedes. She flinches before taking two steps back. Her right hand lifting her rubber band gun. "S-stay back! I'm not afraid to use this thing." A deep laugh is heard nearby before a man in an oak brown cloak walks out into the open from one of the nearby buildings. "You must be Ivanna. I heard you were a gamer and funny, but treating a rubber band gun like a real weapon..." He continues to laugh. She lets out a sigh, realizing how ridiculous she must look while pointing her toy gun at the centipedes. "It'll still hurt! Anyway, what do you want?" She asks as she uses Observe on them, causing it to rank up.

<A wood elf with a v-triangle face, straight brown shoulder length hair, copper skin, straight eyebrows, pointed ears, downturned hazel eyes, thin lips, and a delicate straight nose. He is wearing an oak brown cloak over his matching leather shirt, leather pants, and leather boots.>
Haladavar chuckles as Calarel and Darunia inch closer to Ivanna. "It isn't what I want. It's what my employer wants." Ivanna takes a few more steps back but stops upon bumping against the side of a building. "What does your employer want then?" He looks around. "Just your safe return to him." She lifts her brow. "Who is your employer?" A creepy smile appears upon his lips. "Now that is none of your business." He snaps his fingers and the floor beneath her feet caves in.
She realized in that moment that he must have cast a spell before stepping out. That was when she heard a very strange sound, a mix of a high-pitched cricket and a frog were heard all around her before layers of crumbled cement and dirt were piled and compacted around her body, effectively immobilizing her again. "What the hell was that?!?" He walks over to her as Calarel and Darunia pull back. "That was the work of a few giant mole crickets in unison. Mm, such wonderful creatures. So underappreciated like the rest of my beautiful friends."
He turns around, gently caressing the top of Calarel's head and Darunia's. "They aren't greedy like people, and so beautiful too." He kisses Calarel's side then Darunia's. Ivanna felt her stomach turn a little. 'Eww...' He was about to say something else, but jumps back several times, avoiding several shots of a sticky blue fluid landing a split second after he jumps. "Get them! I'll keep an eye on her." Calarel and Darunia let out a loud hiss while turning to go after Zin'qosh who had fired that fluid from the roof of a nearby building.
Zin'qosh chuckles. "No one double crosses us and lives!" Calarel's legs and Darunia's pierce the side of the building as they rapidly climb toward Zin'qosh. Zin'qosh spits out a few volleys of sticky blue fluid, but it barely slows the giant centipedes. As they close in on her, Incha, in spider form, leaps from the building Ivanna had been in previously and bites Darunia's back. A horrifying hiss is heard as acid begins to fly everywhere, melting away a few inches of everything it touches.
Calarel turns to bash Incha away from Darunia, but it was too late. Darunia's legs twitch before he collapses. Haladavar growls. "Beautiful species of iridescent black wasps, heed my call and devour my foes!" Two huge iridescent black wasps appear to either side of him before flying toward Zin'qosh and Incha. Ivanna couldn't believe her eyes as this battle raged on. However, she still needed to break out of her situation. She could easily use Clean and Reorganize to escape, but what would be her plan from there? Help the spiders against the pervert and hope they return the favor? Or make a break for it and hope neither one goes after her right away?
Option 1 or 2? (Alternate answers welcome.)
