Day 17: Cobwebs. Teacups. Spiders. Dying. Struggling. Bargaining. Sparing.
Time spent: ~30 mins.

"The smell of cobwebs fills the air. You're filled with determination." "Oh, right, I was just leaving that friendly spider-lady's shop! Well, time to move on.

"Ring... ring... The signal is blocked by cobwebs" "Um... Okay..." *enters the next room; no music* "This just doesn't look friendly... It doesn't look friendly at all..."

I walked through the webs on the floor while hearing the laughing spiders mocking me, talking about a human with a striped shirt that hated spiders. She-- ah, I mean, they looked a lot like me. "So... this is kind of awkward..." I kept walking until I couldn't move forward anymore, trapped by all the webs. On the background there she was: "Oh, so you aren't gonna pay for my snacks". Naturally, I entered battle.

Lady, ehm, spider-bug... attacks you! Okay, so I "checked" her and noticed she had decimals on her stats. "That's new..." Also, I have to excuse myself if I'm invited to her parlor... (What's a parlor? Actually, what's a cobweb to begin with? Sorry, English skills failing me this time around.) I tried to escape from her first "attack": a purple cobweb to keep me trapped (I went to the top, then appeared on the bottom), and I turned purple. (I was actually wondering what other colors I would be acquiring on my journey. This comes off as no surprise, although it looks more pinkish to me than anything else. I'm still yet to turn yellow, but I can't imagine what kind of new and innovative mechanic I'd be getting next.) So now I had limited movement but in an ironically advantageous way. I could move fast upwards and downwards, but I still had to advance slowly left and right. Had it been all fast and practical movement in all directions and it could have turned even more epic.

Anyway, I continued, Struggling and Sparing, but avoiding the "Pay" option. The lady told me there was a person that told them about the striped-shirt human, and that he-- no, she... um... oh, "they" (darnit, Toby Fox) payed them a lot of money. She kept attacking me with very lethal spiders, which were quite hard to avoid at some points. I died a couple of times, and returned to the battlefield (spiders no longer said their dialogues). I kept fighting my way up, and-- oh, speaking about fighting my way up, she introduced me to her... "pet"... "PET". It looked like a giant muffin (how ironic) that liked to eat spiders; so much, that they kept running away from it (or should I say, "they"). Like, what the heck? Is this spider-bug-lady some kind of cold-blooded same-species feeder? Like, what kind of twisted monster does that? I kept climbing my way up, fearing the hungry muffin. It was epic... and scary. To top it all off (kind of literally), she poured a cup of spiders on me!! UGH!! If this was a real fight, I'd be scarred for life (I'm not exactly arachnophobic, bugs in general are disgusting to me. Although, my 5-year-old me or 10-year-old self would pass away, maybe).

So, as I said before, I died a couple of times, maybe 3 times. It was really difficult, but I managed to pull it off. The "NEXT" sign didn't really help me anticipate the attacks. It actually took me a while to notice that she was holding two teacups and two tea...pourers. At one time, I actually wanted to see what happened if I was bit by the monster, but it only dealt 2 damage (lol, that was anticlimactic). I was covered in purple at the beginning, trying to be more "realistic" by letting me go all the way down, but I spawned in the middle!! Well, finally I spared her once the confusion passed. [...]
