//I honestly don't know how to trigger this. blood and spider and bug death?
"What's wrong, Honey? Are you scared?" She had flattened herself against the wall, and did indeed look petrified. Somewhere behind Cat, Gerald was snickering. Asshole, he'd jumped higher than Honey screamed when she saw it. "I've got it under control, you know." They glanced down at their hands, at the tiny black creature looking for a way out of them.
She shook her head, but she was clearly lying. "Just kill it, Cat, please!"
They walked over closer to her, letting her see the sizable spider scurry across their skin. She pressed harder against the wall and whimpered. "It never did anything to you. It never hurt anyone."
"It lives off of the blood of other bugs, it kills and drains them! It's so fat it probably just killed something!" Indeed, the little bugger was pretty fat, and growing more agitated that they kept blocking every attempt it made at escape.
They smiled and chuckled. "Sounds a little like me." This brought another sound from her, not loud or shrill enough to be a shriek, but nor was it a fearful moan. "So you want me to kill it? Even though it didn't hurt you?"
Honey was sliding away from them along the wall. "Yes!" Wailing. That's what she was doing, she was wailing.
Cat shrugged. "If you say so." Their fingers closed around the spider and crushed it. It would be unpleasant enough under normal circumstances, but as they would discover with an irrepressible wince, these were not normal circumstances. Apparently this spider had eggs on board, or something, because the moment she was crushed, hundreds of tiny baby spiders erupted from her.
She screamed and fled, and even Gerald was freaked out. "What the fuck!" Cat tried to keep their composure, at least keep their face straight. At least Honey had ran and Gerald couldn't see their expression, but he could see them trying frantically to get the spiders off of them, crushing whatever ones fell under their shoe. Ah, so that's what people meant when they joked about burning the house down just because there was a spider. Well, as god-awful as this was, at least it added to their myth.
You'd think that after an experience like that, they'd stay the hell away from spiders. At first, they'd tried, but that didn't really work out. Honey would still rather have them take care of spiders than deal with it herself, so they ended up getting desensitized all over again. Besides, it was still sort of fun to freak out the arachnophobes by picking up the creatures that they were oh-so terrified of.
So the day they were hanging out in the casino and heard a scream belonging to a familiar voice, they were quick to jump up and run over. Paige had gotten up onto a table and was staring, fixated, at a moving spot on the wall. Without any hesitation, Cat walked over and got it to crawl into their hands. "Relax, Paige, it's just a spider."

 it seemed like addy was always in the casino. i mean, it made totally perfect since. where there were booze, there would be the redhead trailing behind a ways. playing the occasional card game or billiards. it really was a place suitable for the young man. at the bar, he had a drink in hand when he had heard the scream. and could see catalyst rushing towards paige.
and all of that was caused by a spider? walking closer, he couldn’t help but grimace slightly as catalyst picked it up. “what the fuck?†he watched as it crawled into catalyst’s hands. “you don’t just pick those fuckin’ bastards up.†addy wasn’t scared of spiders by any means- but he’d rather just step on them with his shoe than let them roam around in his hands.

It didn't make sense for Cat to be in the casino, not in the way it did for the others. They didn't drink, they didn't gamble, they didn't even provide good company, nor did they often receive it. But they did still like socializing there, and when they weren't on patrol or doing anything, they liked being somewhere easy to find. That could just as easily be at their house, but knowing how Gav was, they'd spend all day in bed cuddling. Only getting up to care for Mo and basic needs didn't sound all that productive.
Besides. The casino was the best place to people watch. To see the sides of their people they wouldn't otherwise get to see. Who was weak to temptation, and what mistress was irresistible? Was it the drink or the table? For Addy, it seemed to depend on the night. Sometimes it was one, or the other, or both.
"Just because you don't doesn't mean I don't." They said, looking down at the spider and moving their hands so it wouldn't escape or crawl up their sleeve. That was some serious fucking nope. "I do plenty of things you don't."

She sat on the table, legs crossed and her eyes trained on the spider now in Cat's hand. [b]"You do know some of those things can kill you, right?" She asked with a frown, it wasn't that she was scared of spiders. She was scared of what she knew some of them could do. These things could kill birds, each other, humans with a single bite. It freaked her out. She watched the spider crawl around Cat's hand then looked at Addy "See? He fucking gets it!" she refused to let her legs dangle off the table.

"Sure I do." They replied, eyes still fixed on the arachnid. "But this isn't one of them." Cat lifted their gaze up to her, noting the evident fear even now that the spider was captured and contained. "You do know that not all spiders can kill you, right? Or is this a distrust of me that's keeping you up there?"
Well. They were crazy enough to pick up a fucking spider.

The casino was a great place for many things; drinking, picking up cute people, people-watching, and one could take their pick of reasons why Salem was hanging around there at the present moment. Really, the reason didn't matter; his attention was quickly drawn to the... Situation, over by the wall where Paige had gotten on top of a table for some reason, Addy was there, and Cat seemed to be the center of attention for holding something interesting.
Salem staggered over, leaning forward slightly to catch a peek at what Cat was holding and then flinching and stepping back. "I wouldn't blame her for staying up there; I wouldn't trust you with a spider either, captain." Salem said lightheartedly, trying to mask the fact he was a bit unsettled by the whole situation.
"Sure it's not gonna kill you, but it still might bite you. Best to toss that thing outside." Salem suggested.

“gotta agree with salem, here.†the guy was definitely weird, but- hey, at least he had the wits about him to think about putting the spider outside.

//I got permission to pp Paige
"I wouldn’t put it past you to throw that thing on me." Well, okay, ouch. They were an asshole, but did she really think they were the type of asshole to do pranks? Or was this worse than a prank? If it was worse than a prank it was back in their area, but really... They weren't mean just to be mean. Mostly.
"I wouldn't blame her for staying up there; I wouldn't trust you with a spider either, captain." Ugh, and Salem agreed with her, just great. Did they really seem like that type of person? Apparent-fucking-ly. They put their free hand to their heart before quickly moving it back to corral the spider.
Spider corralled, they glanced back up at their small audience. "I'm hurt, truly. How monstrous you must think I am to use someone's fears again... yeah no that's fair." And what they'd done was worse than throwing a spider at someone. "Do I look like I'm scared of a fugging spider bite?" A human biting their hand would be a different story, obviously, but a spider bite was inconsequential to them. A mild inconvenience until it healed at worst.
They turned their gaze to Addy, staring him hard in the face for several long seconds. "Addy, your wit has won my respect in the past, so I'm going to give you a minute to come up with something that isn't so goddamn shameful." They shook their head and turned away from him, and Paige and Salem. "Alright, you guys win. I'll put it outside." The headed to the doors with that, returning a minute later with empty hands that hung at their side.
