“Alright, people, let’s do this one last time. My name is Anna Reign. I made a deal with a spider demon - please don’t ask - and for the past 3 years, I’ve been the one and only Recluse!”

stay safe.
We will.
Hear you’ve finally married Iaret! Congrats! How’d that happen?
Wrong Site!
So you’ve married this Geneva then Iaret? Could we hear a bit about her?
Wrong Site!
Trish, have you been to other worlds before this one? Any interesting sights or stories?
Oh yes! I've been all over, hunting down spirits that possess the villains-of-the-week in various spider-worlds. Once I went to a world where everything was all noir, which was kind of fun! Another had everyone behaving like a rubberhose cartoon. And once, Recluse took me to this realm called Heck and I met a bunch of sexy demons...
Don’t worry Trish, loving the cat is totally normal here. But on the topic, as well as in the spirit of the season, Recluse has made her other dimensional galpals pretty massive before! Think I might have seen Taran get planetary. How big have you been able to make your main polycule Recluse, regardless of how temporary the pounds are
For right now, not too big. Other than absolutely stuffing me with hoagies that one time, I'd say I'm pretty normal. However...I recently learned a spell that makes me more voracious... and stretchy... so who knows how big I'll get from that!
Sunbeam, Lois, you two been doing alright! Getting big scoops in news and ice cream parlors?
Lois: Funny you should mention ice cream!
Tammie: Because now you’re hungry for ice cream?
Lois: …yes, but that’s not what I was gonna say! So I managed to sneak into Lexcorp HQ’s secret division during a party and found that they discovered, get this, an Alien Probe that landed in the Arctic! They’re getting it into Metropolis under the codename Project Brainiac and are hoping it can give a tech advantage against supers. Thing is, apparently the probe repeated a series of words in an alien language nobody understood… until I showed it to Tammie! And what did it say, babe?
Tammie: “Galactus is Coming.”
Lois: How mysterious is that!?
Recluse, think you can do the Bye Bye Bye dance at your size?
I can SO do it… just expect a LOT of shaking.
Been a bit, so just a friendly check in on our less sinister six! How have these last couple months been treating you?
Rhino: Being good guy is hard.
Vulture: What Rhino means is that it takes more effort to care about what our actions do for others, but Recluse’s brand of anticapitalist justice means we can still do things like break cop cars or rob the rich to satisfy our needs for feeling bad.
Shocker: Plus, I upgraded everyone’s tech. And the rest of the team paid me for it AND threw me a party as thanks. So, y’know, it’s good having friends.
Soda: Me and Max have been doing this thing where she goes down on me without her protective suit and-
Elektro: BAAAABE! Not in front of EVERYONE!
Scorpion: Uh, and I finally got a proper prosthetic for my arm. Courtesy of Shocker. Made dating more fun.
Happy (late) Halloween! How’d festivities go this year? Full of plenty treats?
I pulled plenty of tricks to get a ton of treats! Although my first costume wasn’t my favourite… I was a princess because I lost a bet with the polycule. But when I outgrew that, I just went out as your not-so-friendly neighborhood Recluse!
The times Tarantula turned into a blueberry, how did you get the juice out of her?
and is it not contagious by touch or by drinking her juice?
Nah, nothing contagious. There was this one time me and Spider-Berry got to stop Taran’s Doc Ock from making her too big as a berry (I wanted her to stay that big long enough for us to bang) but that’s a story for another media.
So you’re a witch right Trish? What kind of spells do you specialize in? Beyond dimensional traveling types
My magic is very heavily themed around spiders…at least in appearance. I can conjure webbing for various purposes. The basics are the same kind as what other spider-people can do. Slings. Incapacitating enemies. I can also make web balloons on the end of my staff so I can fly! But my real magic is the web-runes I can make. Depending on the shape and pattern of the webbing, I can do all sorts of things! Make explosions, electrify people, turn myself into to spiders, make myself…uh, more Recluse-like I guess?
Trish, I’m curious, what was your life like before finding Recluse and making company with her?
I’d say it was pretty normal. I was raised by my uncle Ben after my parents and his wife died in a car accident when I was little. Ben passed away while I was in college. He died helping people get free of a house fire. After that I just sort of…felt hollow. When I saved a random spider from my roommate I never would’ve guessed it was the dregs of a powerful magical spirit
Trish, has your rising weight affected your magical prowess as of late?
Well, I mean…it hasn’t made it harder so far! My magic doesn’t need me to move around a lot like other spider-people. But…well, I do like how everytime I move I can feel myself jiggle. It’s…distracting
Ey, happy to hear you’ve got a sixth member for the polycule! How do the others feel about Trish, and how does she feel in turn?
Misty: I LOVE her! For one, having another wizard on the team is a blast! We compare magic spells and techniques all the time.
Revolution: We feel a string kinship with her. We are both strangers in a new home with no family other than the one we chose.
Rider: She’s eager, adorable, cute as a button and she can pull off a wizard’s hat. That’s hot in my book.
Beast: It’s been interesting, being with someone so new. And honestly, it’s a bit refreshing being with some so…normal? Not that I mind my other girlfriends being out of this world, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to talk about normal things with someone for once!
Alright Recluse how many times have you used your mass to bowl your way through a wall given your distaste for being called the "Amazing Wrecking Ball" I assume many times
I… ugh… I do it all the time. I really earned that nickname.
