Creature Features!
[[/div]]
[[div class="wilson-body"]]
Tangerine is our resident arachnid! She’s sweet and spends most of her time chilling in the corner of her terrarium. Sometimes, if she’s in a good mood, she’ll come out to play with her caretaker. Tangerine is a one-of-a-kind companion, so much so that when we first took her in, she managed to cure Jamie’s long-time arachnophobia! 

In addition to being able to cure peoples’ fear of spiders, Tangerine is also super smart! She is great at understanding emotions and human talking. 

Upon inspection by an arachnologist, it was found that Tangerine had a congenital disorder that prevents her from being able to bear children. The complications caused by this affliction means she might not have much time left. 
[[/div]]
[[div class="wilson-subtitle"]]
History!
[[/div]]
[[div class="wilson-body"]]
My son found Tangerine in a ditch out behind his school. In the ditch, she had spun webbing to hide an orange slice she found. Over the next few days, my son would run out to the ditch to watch Tangerine do her thing. She would sneak under the webbing in the ditch and take small bites out of the slice. One day, he brought home Tangerine in a jar.

When we first tried to get her in her terrarium, she outmaneuvered us for ten minutes before we could catch her. After she drew on a tabletop with sap on her legs, we’ve been trying to see if she could write. Just one of many instances that exemplifies her intellect.
[[/div]]
[[div class="wilson-subtitle"]]
Special Needs and Accommodations!
[[/div]]
[[div class="wilson-body"]]
Tangerine is provided with small insects and water three times a day. During the day, she can be brought out of her terrarium and explore more spacious or natural parts of the enclosure. However, she must be supervised for the duration of her time outside of the terrarium. And, staff, please start closing doors behind you, it makes it so much easier to recuperate Tangerine. Otherwise, when Tangerine is in her terrarium, she's fairly low maintenance.

She has appeared fond of many creatures in her same insect enclosure, especially Marcie and Jojo, our beloved twin locusts. As a result of Tangerine's health state, we try to give her as much time as possible with her friends. 
[[/div]]
[[div class="wilson-subtitle"]]
Notes about Tangerine!
[[/div]]
[[div class="wilson-body"]]
The wing of the enclosure housing Tangerine is open to all staff workers, and it is encouraged for people with arachnophobia to pass through and pay a visit to her! In most cases, one visit has been enough to temporarily or sometimes permanently cure a person's fear of spiders.

Although there is technically no "therapy" occurring, Tangerine has been denoted as a therapy critter. Interactions between her and our staff often consist of the person holding Tangerine, letting her crawl along their arm and hand. Sometimes, staff members have talked to Tangerine, since she's a pretty great listener.

Hey, you asked me to get back to you on how Tangerine is doing. She's doing alright. It took her a while to get out of that bashful phase, but she's back to playing with the other critters. She's still slow with eating, but that's normal.

I'll try my best. She's still a bit tired. When I took her out of her terrarium, she gave me quite the scare. At one point, she ran right under my boot as I was walking. Thankfully though, I avoided stepping on her.

Faeowynn, Jamie was acting weird today. She came in crawling about like some centipede or ant. After I got her to start speaking coherently, she was blaming Tangerine, the spider from Jimmy's sector. Before I could get any reasoning from her, she just up and left the room. Could you forward this to Jimmy?

Possibly. In which case, some staff found it funny. This morning, two staff members came into the board room crab walking. I told them to knock it off and they just skittered around the room manically. I'd appreciate it if you could check on Tangerine, just in case.

Some coworkers are just immature this week. Had an ontologist take a look at her, found fuck all that would be of concern. There's good news, though. Earlier today, Wattson and I managed to figure out a way for Tangerine to write. We put like pen things on her fangs that drip ink onto the tip, and she was able to write somewhat-coherent English on the paper. This is a major breakthrough.

The communication with Tangerine today was a bit confusing, but what do you expect? Talking to her, it seems she's become aware of her infertility, but didn't say much past that. If it turns out there is nothing paranormal about the shenanigans, we'll start issuing disciplinary action. Is it possible the spider-people thing is a result of her longing for children?

I hadn't considered that. I went to talk to Tangerine like you asked and it's possible you're onto something. After a quick look at her therapy records, it seems like the staff acting like spiders start exhibiting these behaviors just a few months after meeting with Tangerine.

I think we'll need to cut her off from therapy sessions. We have no idea how much this could worsen if we continue to expose people to her. I'm almost confident this is some twisted way of trying to have children. The people affected have begun getting psychiatric aid, so that should help.
