New competition in the Spider Bakery and it taste delicious.
Also, updated some things here n' there. By the way, sorry I put my other crossover here because I wasn't looking at all.
Chapter 9: Spider 8atter competition and role-playing
Ah…my little spider bakery. Business seems to be slowing down here and I wonder why nobody is coming over here to buy my homemade pastries? Is it something to do with the price or the recipe I just made?
Looking over to my fine elegant platform stand that's covered in delicate webs and located within near the CORE that keeps us warm and comfy, I waited for my customers to appear to buy my treats…
But no one came…
All I can do now is to stare at the empty line of my used to be active baking stand as my five eyes blinked in boredom.
"Hmmm…where are all my customers are at? This is rather highly unusual?" What could possibly be that I wouldn't have any customers? Unless there's another bakery near me that competes with my-…
-Oh! Why hello there? Another customer I see?
Looking up to see a wandering passerby as he's heading somewhere that I don't know of, I call out to him.
"Excuse me mister? Would you buy our home-cooked pastries that one hundred percent made by real spiders?" Having a suave conversation with my potential customer here, the rather tall person who would might buy my donuts just shrugs at me indifferently.
"I would love to…but there's another spider bakery that's not far from here and I heard they taste really great. Also, I heard their price is EXTREMELY cheaper of what I usual eat here." Oh how nice, you're going to your own place and buying-
Wait…did you just say there's another SPIDER Bakery?
WHAT?!
[The other spider 8akery]
"We need another 8atch order of Chocolate cakes: extra-large Ms. Crocker!" Oh dear, this is getting quite exhausting on dealing with all of these monsters who want to taste Jane's pastries and there's no end to them!
I can't keep up with all the influx of customers coming at us! I didn't know we could make so many customers here 8y simply deciding to open up of our own 8akery stand which we simply did it out of 8oredom.
Also, of why I've choose the waitress position here which is unfathomably stressful to take in is out of pure altruism.
You may be asking…why? Of why I choose to be a waitress is merely simple. I choose it to amend my ignorance of trying to take on Lord English and the 8atterwitch all by me…and that wasn't pleasant.
If only I could listen Vriska past experience 8eforehand, I wouldn't burden myself of my sins I carried. Knowing of why my Beta Dancestor wouldn't take in a huge risk after she was killed by Terezi. As Terezi knows if that Vriska left…both of them are guaranteed to be doomed by Bec Noir's wrath as he'll simply sniff out onto their meteoroid location by Vriska's fairy dust trails that she left off.
8efore I get off-topic here onto the past history of us. Jane and I decided to open up a bakery here out of the fun for it and nothing else better to do than sit-down n' do nothing particularly at all.
At first, it was fun and all with few customers…8ut then, all of the people heard of our reputation here of our cheap, tasty pastries and now we have an over-load of demands that I can't keep up with!
Hoooooooow did I get into this situation of this utmost stressful mess I'm in?
[Aranea: flashback to the past]
[You are now past Aranea…]
Waking up with an un8eara8le headache I'm experiencing through after we've open our end-game prize door. A sudden flash of flickering light blinded us and knocked us out afterwards.
Opening my eyes and looking up to see the seemingly infinite amount of we8s above me. I picked myself up to see I'm in a strange, dark platform with the Maid of Life next to me.
Rubbing my short, black hair to suppress the pain and adjusting my glasses to see properly here. I got up and dusted off my cerulean colored dress.
While I'm busy fixing myself, I heard a certain moaning person behind me and it is Jane Crocker.
Regaining consciousness and that terri8le headache finally subsided. I saw the Maid of Life finally wakes up from her slumber. As Jane is wearing in her old, brown god-tier outfit of who is the Maid of Life. With bandage like socks on her feet and so on of what a God-tier Maid looks like.
"What…what happened? Aranea? Where are we?" Seeing mix of confusion and shock of how we got here in the first place. I felt sympathy for her as I don't know as well of how we even got here.
"I don't know Jane…this place looks so foreign to me and I have no solid knowledge of whatsoever here…this is rather unfortunate for both of us to be honest." Thinking of what should we do next…I have no idea of what should we do?
"Um…not to be rude here Jane, this is sufficiently embarrassing for me, but what should we do next than standing idly here?" Expressing my cluelessness to her, she shrugs as well of not knowing of what should we do next…but she told me we should take a break and bake some cakes here since she…well, really loves to captchalogue kitchen appliances, hardware, and baking goods inside her Modus.
In which she captchalogue A LOT of them, especially for cooking ingredients to make the 8atterwitch's baking recipes.
"You know Aranea. I want to tell you something, how about we should take a break and eat something. We should not go anywhere with an empty stomach you know?" I'm not sure where she's going with that idea of making the 8atterwitch goods. But my inside growls in hunger in agreement as I'm bit…malnourished. So I might eat the Orwellian food if I like it or not.
After few minutes pass-by, Crocker baked a huge chocolate cake as she mixed the human ingredients in the bowl, pour it in the cake pan, placing it in the oven, and waited until the cake is finished as we smell the delicious afterburning smell of it.
As we waited for the cake to 8e finished. A strange, yellow lizard stum8le upon us who appears to be a scientist of some sort, 8y telling of her white lab-coat she wore.
As she stared at us in curiosity and smelled the almost cooked cake we had in the functional oven. For a second, I thought she licked her lips in anticipation of the cake she smelled.
"Um…excuse Ms. Um…" As the female lizard doesn't know our names, Jane interrupted her as she told her of our us.
"The name's Jane Crocker and besides me is Aranea Serket. What could we do for you?" The creature we saw continued to stutter in shyness.
"Um, c-c-can I buy a slice of your cake please? I'll pay 80 G for it. Also, the name's…Alphys." G? What is G, do you mean by the human letter G?
Before I know what G is, I saw she reached out in her pocket and pulled out pure, gold coins…no seriously, they're pure gold. Not fake at all when I examined them.
"Um…sure Ms. Alphys, you can have a slice of cake." When we heard the oven *ding* that tells us it is finished, Crocker open the oven and pulled out a big puffy cake. She turns back to our 'customer' and told her this.
"So do you want it to have frosting in it Ms. Alphys." Then that's how our bakery was born.
[Aranea: Be the future you]
[You are now future Aranea and its hell for you.]
And that's how the 8akery was born…and it's Human Hell for me!
Dealing with the incursion of customers and waves after waves of them as I slowly 8egin to tire out from it, I forget to mention that I'm wearing a new dress that fits with our new business tycoon we're making.
The dress I'm wearing is a frilly, red and white dress that matches with the 8atterwitch 8usiness suit attire aka the Crocker outfit as it reaches half to my human word tights. With cute, white stockings that reached to my kneecaps with red, frilly bowties on them and keeping my old, red shoes on since it matches with the dress I'm currently wearing.
Also, I had a red, glossy, sparkly bow on top of my head since…you know…for fashion purposes?
As I continue with the endless strides of our customers and trying to get everyone's order in check as there's so many of them. I saw one particular person who's heavily marching towards us with the word 'aura' of outrageousness in it, and she looks like a literal spider with her five eyes and four limbs. Also with the taste of elegancy of her clothing she wears.
8y what means she's so upset about?
As she angrily marches towards us in hateful intent, and I say it again, in an outrage of us.
"So this is the new bakery I heard of. How dare you take half of my customers away from me you jerks!?" Uh oh…unwanted spider competition, I really need to ask Jane about this.
"Um…Jane, we got a person who is upset of us as we're taking half of her customers from our new 8akery." Turning to Crocker, she looks back at her and she told me what to do next.
"Well try to dismiss the customers here and we'll discuss the business problem with the person we're dealing with." Well okay then.
"Every8ody out! SHOO! SHOO! SHOOOOOOOO!" As I wave my hands out to shoo the customers away from us. They groan in disappointment that our 8akery is currently closing down to do 8usiness issues we're having.
As all of our customers left and only the spider lady left standing there. We 8egin to discuss of her grievances with us and making some compromises 8etween us, if we should or should not split the profits between us or making joint business together.
This well get very tedious to discuss as it is a business matter we're dealing with, not personal, and I wonder where's Meenah or her Meenah's Dancestor is at?
[Aranea: 8e the rude fish heiress]
[Unfortunately you cannot be the rude fish heiress as she's currently doing extreme role-playing. Instead, you are Undyne]
HOLY SHIT! I didn't know Extreme Role-Playing is so Glub dang fun!
Raising my spear and slamming at Vriska's conjured blades from her weird dice things that she rolled as it glowed deep, dark blue. We begin to playfully spare at each other while we gave nicknames to each other.
My new Role-Playing persona is the Undying Knight while I face the Spinneret Mindfang and Imperious Condescension! As my ally is the O' mighty Neophyte Redglare helping me out!
FACE OUR JUSTICE WRATH MINDFANG AND CONDESCENSION!
[*Undyne: be the cheerful fish heiress instead]
[You are now the cheerful fis)( heiress]
My, my…what a big palace I'm in and I wonder w)(ere are my friends are at. Even I don't have the brain and psychic prawns to find them. I still have some determination to find them! Even it kills me!
Walking on the narrow halls and not shelling by its glamorous looks as I'm too busy of finding out of where am I or my friends are at. I continue on walking the path I was in...until I found a strange, tall goat person who looks reel-y loyal just like me! With his cute crown, loyal purple outfit, and his big, red Batterwitch like trident just like my golden trident! We really should make a trident fan-club with Meenah of who has the biggest trident to go around here! Waving our tridents around with their full glory!
And that doesn't sound awkward at all!
Glub, glub. I wonder w)(o's the big sea-goat man in front of me and I reel-y want to talk to him 38D. Also, I saw he's talking with the White King and Queen where they used to rule the kingdom of Prospit before it got blown up by Jack...or some extend, Lord English.
[Feferi: be the sea-goat man]
Sorry for this to be short. So there we go. Time to meet up with the royalty here. Also, looking at the Midnight Crew later on in their gangster shenanigan bullshits they're making.
Also, RUFIOH!
