It's entirely within Luna's character to have made him start with it for shits and giggles.
...who the hell is dumb enough to not pay the pattern spiders back?
You'd be surprised at how stupid young Sidereals are.
...what is so hard about appologizing? Are their bites much less nasty than I've seen implied?
There are ten different possible outcomes of pattern spider bite. They include one of your mortal loved ones just dying, loosing all of your essence for ten days, and 10 dice of aggravated damage.
Did they never get told to stop by their bureaucratic superiors? Or an audit for making so many gods wast their time fixing all the snarls they paperwork that would have cause?
Sure but those are NPC sidereals. This is a protagonist we're talking about here....aren't sidereal decisions supposed to need a group to be that terrible?
And being the protagonist enables a special kind of stupidity~
The attitude of the StoryTeller was "The Pattern Spider's bite is bad enough." And starting to give them points of permanent paradox, to show how annoyed the spiders were.
Sure, that's a reasonable attitude for the Storyteller. But what about the characters they are portraying?
It's also on the character sheet.
Ah, of course. I should have put a link in. KGFantasy over on Deviantart.

Assuming she bothers with 'mundane' martial arts.
The pipe is usable as a weapon for a martial art that doesn't exist. The school that teaches it doesn't exist, and the students who don't attend don't learn to use a pipe as a blowgun. They don't learn a thousand ways to poison someone. They can't do it so subtly that their victim doesn't realize they weren't in a fight, until they don't die either peacefully in their sleep or screaming in agony, days or weeks later.
