eleventh bubble; video/action for ecruteak.

Hey! I'm not sure if everyone watches the EV News - I do, and they have the catchiest little intro jingle, don't you think? [ Pausing to hum that. You're welcome. ]

Anyway! Is anyone planning to go to this prom thing? And has anyone else managed to procquire a silver ticket? I have to say that seeing all those pokeballs drop from the sky was sort of fun! I actually can't take credit for catching my silver ticket, though - Panini caught it. I think he was sort of having a field day with things to catch from the sky, actually. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.

I've never been to a dance before. So I entirely plan to go! Besides, it sounds like it's happening in a new place, which is exciting. Have any of you been to dances before, though? I wouldn't mind hearing about them if you have!

Red sounds like a pretty good option, yeah.

[Nah, it's okay- Envy at least remembers Aradia's not exactly human when she says stuff like that.]

'The romantic sense that nearest matches yours'-- now that sounds like a story.

[As much as the 'maybe' part, in any case.]

But who's the lucky guy? And please, it's never about what the boys wear- it's about how fast you can make their jaws drop with what you wear.

It's pretty much my favorite color these days, as is!

And the story is basically - we have four kinds of romance. It tends to confuse people, actually, and I occasionally forget which term I'm supposed to use.

[ She's trying to be a human properly, after all! It's fun so far. ]

Oh, I think you know him - Sollux said you're friends. [ Or at least said he knew Envy when Aradia listed her on her "be nice to these people" list at him. ] We've been friends for almost as long as I can remember.

It's a good choice.

[A blink though, and a raised eyebrow.]

Four kinds, huh? Like the way humans handle it doesn't make life complicated enough. I don't envy your species, Aradia.

[Wow, cute though.]

Oh- the snarky kid. Yeah, I guess we are. [Inasmuch as two sassy jerks are friends, anyway.] You must have the patience of a saint.

It can get pretty complicated, but I don't think the quadrants matter here as much. At least, we're human here and there aren't that many of us comparatively, so.

[ Don't tell Karkat she said so, though. ]

Snarky kid is pretty right! [ Definitely someone who has met Sollux, yep. ] Haha, he can be really sweet when he puts his mind to it!

[ or just. she has the patience of a saint, yep. ]

Hey, do whatever the hell you want- that's what most humans do anyway.

[Honestly, that's how it works, isn't it?]

I've seen a few like him before- it's all a matter of knowing how to deal with them, I guess.

[And also being a saint, let's face it Aradia.]

True! Although one of my human friends said a lot of our quadrants have similar equivalencies in certain types of romance, so. I think it's just less official and different lingo!

[ Aradia...has to laugh, at that. ]

The best thing to do is just ignore him when he's being grumpy. Or use bribery! Or argue with him, because he likes arguing anyway.

Probably- but the point is, as long as it's good for you and whoever you're with, who cares what anyone else thinks?

[Even Envy quirks a little smirk.]

I will keep all of those under advisement, though I think I've succeeded with number two already.

That's a really good way of putting it! I know at least one of us is in a human-styled relationship sans quadrants, so...I think whatever it is people want to do is fine.

[ Oh-ho. Aradia looks interested, now. ]

Bribery? What did you bribe him with?

Really? Man, humanity sure can be infectious, can't it?

[She's joking. Mostly.]

Throwing stars.

I think it depends! After that, there's at least one of us who complains about being human all the time, so.

[ And at "throwing stars" she looks much enlightened. That would be a bribe! ]

Oooh! So, his usual weapon - that would absolutely be an effective bribe. Especially with weapons being so hard to get here.

Can't win 'em all I guess.

[Yeah, Envy guessed from his reaction they might be something he misses.]

--yeah, I'll never get the deal with that weapon bit. But I mean I can just punch someone out if they mess with me so I'm not too worried, honestly.

I tended to utilize my fists as well. At least, I did have a whip once, but that was a long time ago.

You know someone who uses shuriken as well?

Whip, huh? What'd you do, go all Indiana Jones on people?

[Kidding. Mostly.]

I know a couple. My ex is one of 'em though.

[ She is actually really, really flattered. Guess who her hero was as a younger troll? ]

I did try to style myself after Troll Indiana Jones...! Mostly I used it as an adventuring tool, but it was also a weapon.

As to the shuriken, Sollux is the only user I know personally.

[Wow, cutie.]

What, no Lara Croft for you?

[But she chuckles regardless, shaking her head a little.]

Yeah not too many people can really use them well, much less effectively.
