"Oh, perfectly fine. Had a few drinks, talked a little, had to watch as I was unable to stop Miko from getting kidnapped!" she said, shouting that last part for emphasis. "Please tell me you have something that can find her!"

Arata blinked once, but remained calm. "First off, let's take a breath. Do you know if Miko has her headset on or near her person, by any chance?"

Tomoko sighed and took a deep breath before speaking. "She should; I doubt she's careless enough to leave without it," she told him.

"Alright then. Just a second." Arata put Tomo on hold, treating her to the lovely dulcet tones of some stock symphonic music they'd found in storage, and contacted the data chief for the Intelligence Department. "I need you to get me a location on the headset for Agent #34-826 and for Asset #72-908, and report back pronto."
A pause, before the phone crackled to life. The agent told him the locations of both. "She should be about 7 or so blocks to the west. Moon rises in the east." As he told her this, he wrote a note to himself, adding a favor that Spider-Girl owed him to the tally of favors owed from all over the organization. This one he might actually call in.

"Arata, you're the best, you know that?" she asked. "I owe ya one!" With that, she closed the bracelet and began making her way towards that direction.

"Any time. Any time at all." Arata said, to no one in particular, before returning to his work.
"Finished...." Before the odd cloth being stood a mannequin wearing a large, white dress reminiscent of England's Victorian age, with a large hat on its head to complete the outfit. It picked up the mannequin and walked to another part of the building, leaving it among a large collection of other mannequins.

Tomoko arrived near the building to where Miko was supposed to be, and she shot a web to make a well-aimed swing, shattering the glass window that she made her impromptu entryway. Looking around to see the room completely empty, she found her headset, picking it up. "Where is she...?" she asked, exiting the room and checking each door.

The first door she checked, something pounced at her. It looked vaguely humanoid, but besides that, it had no features. No hair, no eyes, no mouth. Just off-white skin. And claws.

Tomoko's Spider-Sense kicked it at just the right time and she ducked past it, kicking it as it passed her. "What the--?!"

It landed on all fours and turned back to face at her. It made no noise beyond a slight rustling and the click of its claws on the tile floor.
"Go...." It suddenly burst into a cloud of threads, which zipped past Tomo. The being that had taken Miko stood behind her, absorbing the threads into its body.

Tomoko looked at the creature that was absorbing all the threads, shooting her webs at the creature's legs in hopes to bind it.

It worked, but the being showed no signs of being affected. It's leg split into threads and reformed outside the webbing. "You.... followed her.... why...."

"She's special to me," she said. "And you just up and took her without reason!!" she shouted as she threw a punch at the creature.

"Reason....?" It made no effort to dodge or block, but the spot Tomo hit burst into threads, which closed around her hand. "I.... made her.... beautiful.... forever...."

Her eyes widened and she pulled her arm back, ripping it out of her and leaving another hole. "What did you do to her?" she asked darkly.
