Spiders finds a present Luna had meant to give her until Luna felt betrayed by Spiddrs Secret girl's penis so Luna threw it away where everyone else on the plane throws all their trash because she doesn't want to be best friends to Spiders anymore but Spiders come across it anyway because she is punk and it's punk to root around through the garbage. Anyway it's a THeramin.
"Neat! A Thermin!" Spiders says and throws the warping paper over her shoulder to mingle with the rest of the trash.
Theramyn are the first ever electronic instrument, made famous by Ed Wood in his Science'Fictional flying saucer pictures of the 1950's. Theramyn are shaped like right angles and work through electronic Radiation with each 'prong', one controlling pitch and th'other frequency, emits a potent barrage of radioactivity. A Theramin is operated by placing the hand in specific positions relative to each 'prong' to create notes, the excess radioactive particles not absorbed into the hand bounce off to signal back to the instrument which note to play and at which volume, all done without ever actually touching the insturment itself! The musician moves their hand about like a conductor leading a tiny radioactive ochestra.
"oh boy!" Spiders says happily.
She is excited, being formerly Goth (Chapters 33 -38)Spiders appreciates their eeire, otherworldly sound and now that she is a Punk Rocker(tm) she really 'digs' all that deadly deadly radiation. She just can't wait to start shitting out blood and melting on a molecular level.
"Deep lead coffins are totally punk!" says Spiders and begins to play her THeramin. Luna is very pale and so her skin gets angry at her for not getting enough sun.
b-ut, that's when Neville show'd up!
"Wait!" Cries out Neville to Siders.
Neville Longbottom, formerly deceased drummer for Spiders' band the Chumbawumbas and chosen of Metatron the Annunanki Eldar Ghost but thats a story for another time waddled gingerly through all the trash Spiders was perched atop of. She was already seven whole feet tall and really into Spiders so she was a lot higher up than Neville but now this... but anways
Neville almost slips on some old partially decayed wrapping paper from the last couple Christmas's and his foot falls down heavily on a partially chewed up Elf slave corpse with a sickening dry crunch which reveraberate brutally off the close plane walls... Gross
"Hey'`'Nev`ille`'" Spiddrs singsongs alongside a simple three note melody whistling out of her new THeramin.
All that radiation sure tickled and it almost made her giggle, but Neville was looking awful serious.
"Dont you know that no Theramin player has ever survived long enough to master the instrument!" Neville warns.
Spiders keeps playing. DOO DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO goes the Theramin as she waves around her hand to it.
Neville is also in a band so he should appreciate music she thinks. Spiders says that
But I guess since Spiders is the front-Hermione for the band theyre in the Chumbawumbas he doesn't wish her dead of radiation poisoning so soon is all... "At leats his heart is in the right place," dogMinerva's reflection muses cynically, she is, almost in imitation or celebration of the Theramin herself splayed out on the right angle between a juncture between the wall and ceiling she is falling upon as Spiders' new shadow(see Chapter 74 ) because she used her Nibiru primed powers to replace the former shadow of this very tantalizing and oddly familiar girl but like Snape always says that's a story for anotehr day!
Back to buisiness at hand aboard the plane!
Spiders. Neville, the THeramin he desperately whishes she doesn't play anymore.
Spiders brushes away Neville warnings literally with a flick of her wrist which causes a corresponding trill of musical direscion from her newest instrument, the sleek and deadly Thermain.
"Bullshit Neville, the world famous Andolphus Licht lived to be over 40 and played the Theramin for nearly a half decade!," with her free hand she pulled out a compact disc from the oversize pockets of her JNCO jeans to illustrate her pont and she scoff'd, "I should know I've got his 'Best Of' C.D. right here!"
Negil roll'd his eyes, "Andolphus Licht died at 38 and he only lasted that long because he switched to using his left hand after the right one fell off!"
To illustrate his point Neville pulled out his copy of Licht's 'Best Of' album and flapped the liner notes about in front of Spiders' sooty face, right there in print, a smilling man holding his Theramin clutched feebly in a blackend hand, the wrist of his opposite hand terminating a poorly cauterized stump.
"Most Theramin players quit after they lose their first hand!" Neville scolded Spiders, "Andolphus LIcht just kept at it because he was part of some stupid secret society trying to ressurect Hitler!"
"Hey!" Spiders was getting hot under the collar now! "Criticize his lifestyle choices all you want but you need to remember that political activism is never wrong even if it is misdirected!"
Neville figured she had a pretty good point and the two spent the next couple of hours experimenting with incorporating the eerie, otherworldy sounds of Theramyn into the already baroque Chumbawumba sonic palate...
