[ Aradia's flipped back into "normal" mode, i.e. being a troll - mostly. She's flickering between each version of herself without any real rhyme or reason, although she normally won't flip in a conversation. Therefore people may come across a) Aradia the fairy time-skipping troll, b) Aradia the ghost, c) Aradia the frog spirit, or d) Aradia the robot. She is also sometimes e) still Routeanized human. Depending on which she is at any given time she may or may not have different speaking quirks and personalities - or a lack thereof.

It's sort of a headache, but she's used to juggling things like this anyway. Feel free to catch any of them at any time in any place because why not.

When she turns on video, she's a fairy time-skipping troll as per usual. ]

This again? I wonder how much we'll remember, and how much we'll forget. Either way, this is what I meant by "troll", to those of you who asked. [ A smile, wide and open. ] If you remember, now you'll know!

This really is my favorite form. I've been...hiccuping? I don't know what you'd call it, but this is the best one!

[Dist's not even sure why he attempted to venture out this weekend, considering everything is going to hell and people keep trying to destroy Goldenrod. But he goes out anyway, probably because he has his flying chair back and he wants to take it for a spin.

While doing that, he happens upon robot Aradia. Hovering slightly above the robot, he glances at her curiously because he's not really sure what the heck he's looking at, aside from the obvious.]

... Is that you, Aradia?

[ While she looks over at Dist, there's less of a reaction than usual. In video and person Aradia typically smiles, particularly upon recognizing anyone or when she likes someone. For this version of herself, however, there's no familiar or pleasant reaction, though she does seem to recognize him. ]

Dist. I am Aradia, yes.

[ ...There's also a distinctly hollow, robotic sound to her tone, which is at odds with her typically energetic manner. ]

Though I am a previous form.

[Well. This is strange. And also really fascinating. A robot clearly designed to look like Aradia, but also claims to be her and even recognizes him. At first, he was inclined to believe that this was simply a robotic version of her and not actually her, but that clearly isn't true.

He must learn more.]

What do you mean 'a previous form'? Even in your true form, you were clearly organic.

Yes. Until a friend destroyed that form, and my spirit required a host to interact with this plane.

[ There is a distinct lack of exclamation points here. ]

Are you saying your spirit is within this robotic body?

[Holy shit this is intense. He's never heard of something like this being possible, and he makes robots!]

... Is this a recent development?

No. As I said, this is a previous form.

[ She...doesn't seem as worked up about these questions as she should be. Metallic line facing. ]

This form exploded some time ago. After that, we became something else. I do no know why it is happening, but we have been changing between forms.

[He falls silent as he processes this information.]

Your spirit truly is as resilient as you hinted at, if you've been cycled through so many forms. It's truly magnificent.

[... Dist's ideas of compliments.]

But you're suddenly changing forms at random? Perhaps it has to do with the events going on right now. The world seems highly unstable again, as it did six months ago.

I have. First I was alive, then I was dead, then I was a frog spirit, then I was this. And after, the maid of time.

[ ...It's not a bad compliment, although...weird... ]

I came to the same conclusion. It seems unlikely such randomness would be unrelated to the current unstability of the world, after all.
