------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amidst all this commotion, I had most probably roused my landlady (poor woman bless her soul) from the usual slumber she partook in at this time of the day and it was her who was now banging on the door of my flat and threatening to break it down if it weren't opened immediately. 

"IF ANYONE HURT MY REGULAR RENT-PAYING GOBLIN BABY, THERE ARE GOING TO BE CONSEQUENCES!", she shrieked maniacally, having succeeded at her attempts to burst open the door. 

 Am 100 percent sure I heard Eddy stifle a laugh at this last sentence... OH GOD I LOVE THIS WOMAN TO DEATH (i did not mean it literally please) BUT SHE WAS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME... welp exactly how I had planned things to go mhm DELIGHTFUL! 

My landlady, in all her rageful glory, was in full view of the camera. She looked very menacing with a broom in her hand and a furious scowl plastered over her face; murderous intention reeked off of her countenance.

Yehhhhh I switched the camera off... she had never consented to her face being put on display to cute classical musicians who called Mahler 'daddy' (justifiably thoo) and I, her humble tenant, was determined to respect her privacy. I was also quite keen on gatekeeping (gaslighting and girlbossing nooo- T-T)... frankly, it was in my best interest to keep the competition away (/j). 

It would be better to just call it quits at that point... like save the little dignity I had left, after the events of this evening, from melting away in embarrassment just like the rest of it (even though thinking back, it was prolly too late for that).

But before I could do anything, this literal g̶o̶d̶d̶e̶s̶s̶ devil of a lady in beautiful blue overalls advanced toward me. I watched the spider scamper away behind her. 

She asked perplexedly, "Why are you in one piece? Has not a horde of aliens dismembered you organ by organ and carried the horrible mess away with them a hundred light-years away to study human biology with in a laboratory? If the answer is in the negative, I am going to need an explanation to justify the commotion you, not long ago, found it amusing to create, young lady."

My eyes had been tracking the spider's movements for the entire duration for which this speech was delivered... and now THE SPIDER WAS MAKING ITS WAY TO THE DOOR! IT WAS ESCAPING (and so was my time with Eddy but beyond the point).

"NO MADAM YOU NEED TO REALISE IT'S SOMETHING WORSE AND IT'S RUNNING AWAY!", the wave of hysteria, that I had been cruising on earlier, crashed into me again.

I aggressively pointed towards it FOR DEAR LIFE but my landlady didn't seem to take the hint.

She expressed her disapproval of my weird dance steps and called them very 'boomer-like', even for someone like herself. She said, "Y/n darling, I, a young Australian lass, am exactly what you need to get your limbs bonging... no worries we will start our dance lessons first thing next morning."  

At this, Eddy full on laughed.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA                                                                                      That's when the severe absurdity of the situation struck me... EDDY BLOODY CHEN HAD BEEN A WITNESS TO ALL THIS. OH MY HOLY GOD. PLEASE PUT ME OUT OF THIS MISERY NOOOO.

"Huh y/n? Who was that?", my landlady queried... a valid question it was... I will give it to her. But it was unbearable at this point. The embarrassment meter's needle had skyrocketed into the fourth dimension and it was about time I put an end to this (thankfully my rational mind had finally come into play, a millennium after what would really have been the ideal time to stop all this, but better late than never). 

The words pained me to say but this had gone on for way too long... I hurriedly addressed Eddy, "OKAY EDDY SO IT WAS AMAZING TALKING TO YOU AND STUFF BUT AS GOD WILLS THIS CONVERSATION ENDS, END IT SHALL. HAVE A GOOD DAY!"

"dc/n alrigh-"

I disconnected instantly not even waiting for him to finish the sentence. Oh god that was so horribly rude of me... aaaaaa why!?

But it wasn't time to repent and wallow in sorrow yet... I still had a very puzzled landlady, staring at me blankly, waiting for an explanation, to attend to. And that demon of a spider... it had gone out the door. Mehhhh it was no longer my problem...
