Criminal Behavior

Arachne had been exploring every inch of the new island, her senses completely captivated by the unfamiliar sights and scents that surrounded her. As she strolled barefoot along the soft, golden shores, her pale gaze took in the endless expanse of the ocean, its deep blue depths shimmering under the warm sun. The rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the beach was a constant lullaby to her soul, bringing a sense of calmness to her being. This uncharted island offered a whole new world for Arachne to discover, and she relished in the thrilling sense of adventure that coursed through her veins.

As she made her rounds, a commotion down by the shore caught Arachne's attention. Intrigued, she playfully scampered across the distance to see what Barghest, one of her many siblings, was up to. As she drew closer, she couldn't help but notice the makeshift picnic table that her sister had crafted out of driftwood and seaweed. The determined expression on Barghest's face only added to Arachne's curiosity. The sandy island, with its gently swaying palm trees and crystal clear waters, looked like the perfect place for an adventure. Arachne could already feel the warm sand under her feet and smell the salty ocean air. She couldn't wait to see what her sister had concocted and eagerly bounded over to join in on the excitement.

Moving with caution, Arachne kept a careful eye on Barghest and the crab as she approached the impromptu picnic site. "Estie, what in the world are you up to?" she asked, a playful smirk playing at her lips. She observed with amusement as the crab clung to the stick, clearly caught up in Barghest's spontaneous party scheme. The smaller girl clumsily sank down onto the sand beside her sister, a smile playing on her lips as she observed the scene before her. The crab, clearly not as enthralled by the party as Barghest, was frantically trying to wiggle its way out of its prison. Arachne couldn't contain her amusement as she watched the comical struggle. "I don't think the crab is enjoying the party as much as you are," she teased gently, eyeing the crab's attempts to escape. She then looked at Barghest with a mischievous glint in her eye. "What's the plan here? Are we playing a game or holding a crab banquet?" She couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation, yet she was willing to indulge in her sister's whimsical idea.
