Warnings: Is it cannibalism if the people doing the eating are not exactly people but potentially an extension of the Carnival?
Notes: I am honestly not too sure what is going on here other than the obvious, I just know it's a thing that is happening.


She picks at the bones, chewing one for a moment and spitting it out again. It's not good enough. It's old and faded, nothing like the fresh, sweet nature of something new.

So she goes hunting.

Her sisters are not hunters, they are not the type to pull in and devour the way she is, but she doesn't mind.

Let them have all the sweets they want. She's much more of a savory kind.

So she'll push her hair back, look up with up at someone with big, scared eyes and ask for help. She'll guide them through the Carnival and let them think they know exactly where they are going.

And then she'll have them.

She'll hug them, wrap her little arms around their waist and then, when a hand gets close, or she's near a little exposed skin, she'll bite.

There's blood, always blood and she knows the Carnival gets it. She brings them to their knees, cuts their throat and lets the blood rain from them. It'll get all over her but she doesn't care. She has more clothes and for her, it's like being showered with sweets.

She opens her mouth and licks her lips once it's over.

The Carnival gets the blood, gets the spirit, but she gets the flesh.

Her sisters are usually near by and she'll call them to help her move the body, put it somewhere safe until she's ready to eat properly.

Then, when she is, she falls on it like a starving wolf, flesh between her teeth, her fingers. She rips it like cloth, tearing the meat off and swallowing it down.

Sometimes she's hungry enough to eat it all. Sometimes she saves a little for later. The bones will get gathered and used for snacks or for fortunes, depending on the day.

And Arachne will feel sated for just a while, just long enough for her to enjoy an elephant ear with hr sisters.

Then she'll grow hungry again.
