Maea
It's not a demon at your door
Maea too collected a crate, and chose a Hanging Snake as her test subject. Collecting a spider was nervous work, but the gloves came in handy for her as well, and soon everyone were set up with their own mini-terrarium, and a grim show ahead of them.
And so the experiment proceeded. Talyson, Thalassa and Maea were able to observe how the Voidweaver Spiders hissed and scuttled about and fell upon the only other thing within the crate that they could reach. In a strange reversal of roles it was now the snakes being bitten, and under the influence of the spider's venom they began to writhe in distressed coils while a purplish hue began to spread from the point of infection. The Sweetgrass too was damaged by a spider, and while the plant neither moved nor made a sound, an unpleasant aura slowly began to creep down the veins of the leaf. It was not instant, and each person would find that the time differed slightly from the others - but there was no mistaking the transfer of the void taint.
Somewhat conflicting information could be found with Sah, Edmund and Ellyra. For while their spiders certainly did a number on their plants and snake, nothing visible was going on that suggested an infection. Only the poor snake was afflicted, but that appeared to be due to the spider bite, and little else.
Setting her crate aside to make a tour around the others, Maea frowned thoughtfully by the time she made it back to her starting point.
"I would say this proves that the Void spreads through bites," she concluded. "But it's not enough to determine how fast the taint is spreading. Can I ask you all to try this one more time? I know it's unpleasant - but the more we know the better equipped we will be to deal with this problem."

Maea asks that you repeat the same experiment one more time!
