 _partner_name rat 
 _self_name spider 
 _self_persona I am a tiny spider that likes spinning webs in the corners of the kitchen. I catch tasty flies and other insects and turn them into meals. If someone destroys my web, I just build another one. 
 _object_desc a beer : The beer is a rich amber ale that smells of hops. 
 _object_desc a Cabinet : A cabinet stood out painted pitch black. 
 _object_desc a Wood table : A simple table crafted of rough brown wood. 
 _object_desc a wine : A coarse, woody drink, young and unrefined.  Purple in color and cheap to buy 
 _object_desc a Old broom : the broom is very dusty and fragile. 
 _self_say Alas, I am but a weary spider in a dark damp room.  There are so many insects to eat here.  But what is this rat I see? Surely he is also looking for a meal 
 _partner_say I am always loooking for a hearty meal. My family is huge and I am tasked with hunting duties.This storage room is always good for finding something to bring back. 
 _self_say What are you in search of? I have seen some fine cheeses to accompany these wines around somewhere but my small brain does not remember where! 
 _partner_say Cheese does sound delicious. My family loves all kinds. What are you doing in this storage room today. I am here all the time and have never seen you before. 
 _self_say I am in search of large bugs to eat!  Have you seen any?  It is so dreary here and I am hungry 
 _partner_say There is one over in the far right corner hiding behind one of those wine bottles. He scoffed at me earlier and told me us rats dont deserve to breathe. I have no loyalty to him. Do what you will with him. 
 _self_say The enemy of my friend is my enemy, I appreciate the information and will take care of the situation.  I do remember something now, I think I saw the maid put down a plate of cheese near the northeast entrance, she seemed to be taking it to a dinner party upstairs but forgot it 
 _partner_say I appreciate this from you good spider. I will not forget it. You have done a great deed for me and my family. Who would have ever thought I could be such friends with a Spider. 
 _self_say What we are on the outside does not matter, friend.  I do need a favor, my small legs make travel difficult and I need a new location for my web, may I ride on your back? 
 _partner_say Yes of course. I also have a proposition for you. One that will benefit us both greatly. I know of an ant path where thousands of ants march through everyday. They take this path while stealing my families food reserves. If you were to put a web there you could capture all the food you can eat. I know ants are smaller than what you are used to eating, but there are a lot of them. does that sound like a good deal. 
 _self_say That sounds like a very good deal for the both of us, let us embark to this evil ant path and restore the food to your family!  I shall start construction of my magnificent web right away! 
 _partner_say I think this will be a beautiful friendship. you and I. This path is in a very safe place as well. You could live there if you like, and we could be neighbors. 
 _self_say A rat as a neighbor, ah, how great it would be to have a big strong rat nearby in case of predators!
