♈ aradia megido is maid of time ♈ ([personal profile] timelymaid) wrote2013-07-04 03:31 pm

fourteenth bubble; video/action for mahogany.

[ This entry takes place in the dark. The dark of a hotel room! ...In the day, so the blinds are drawn shut. Why? Because Aradia has received only the world's most fantastic shirt. It glows in the dark! Specifically, it is a Haunter shirt...and lit by the dim glow of the shirt and the light from the gear, Aradia can be seen. Why yes, she is also wearing Dad's fedora, a hat that only a few people would recognize, and her hair is actually not crazy - for which you can thank Kanaya, whose disappointment in this ensemble may be sensed through the screen. Aradia, this is not fashion. ...And no one but Kanaya can even see the fact she's probably wearing her omanyte toe socks, which don't help matters. And those are also from John, come to think of it.

Aradia is also wearing what is probably an unconsciously creepy grin. Whoops. That's what happens when you post from a dark room and have a tendency towards unsettling people sometimes?

After a moment of grinning in silence, she'll actually stop that and talk, though. ]


Hi!!! This is Aradia. [ In case you couldn't tell. ] And this is the best shirt ever! John sent it to me! He has one like it, too, and I said it was amazing and now I have my very own! Isn't that just fantastic? I had to turn out the lights to let you all get the proper effect!

[ ...But now that you've gotten it, she'll actually turn the lights back on. Aradia's sitting crosslegged on a hotel bed, presumably in Mahogany from the music, and in the light her grin is a bit less eerie. Sort of. ]

That's not the only reason I wanted to post, though! Actually, I have something I need help with. See, ghost and fossil pokemon are my absolute favorites! And while getting ghost pokemon just requires catching them, fossil types are...well, a little bit harder. I only have a few species: Kabuto's line, Aerodactyl, and Tirtouga's line. [ Though by reason of people leaving she has two of the first and three of the second. ] And this is not at all a complete collection! Which is sad, because I'd like to study fossil pokemon up close.

So if you have any and could either breed me one or trade me one? I will pay or trade you an egg you'd like! Very specifically I am also looking into getting two Archen! One of those is not for me, but is for Dave, whom also has a sad lack of fossil pokemon that has to be corrected!

I figured it was worth asking, at least! Oh, and before I forget, if you didn't tell me your birthday a few months ago when I asked and we're now friends, you should probably tell me about it now! I don't want to miss someone's birthday on accident. And I think that's pretty much everything? Though on the topic of birthdays, I know of three for this month! And just in case you don't? Equius picked the 9th, Francis Bonnefoy told me his birthday is the 14th, and Misaki's is on the 25th! Be sure to wish them well on those days, okay?

...Oh, that's a silly reason!

[Then again she can only say that because she was confined to an island for her entire life, she's aware that she has no idea what actually happened in all that time or how long it was.]

But John is quite silly, he wouldn't be my brother if he wasn't at least a little silly. [Harleybert/Crockerglish genes dictate it to be so.]

Maybe. And I guess it doesn't really matter much here but. Still. It would be kind of cool to know.

I mean aren't you curious about pre-scratch Aradia? Or am I the only one.

[She would probably know and he would not even complain about the day-long story that would likely follow.]

[John was evidently not that far from Rose because he doesn't even have to get up to be seen on her screen. He just sort of... leeeeeans over a little bit.]

Pardon me ladies, but if I can just interrupt here for a second, there's just something I have to get off my chest. [He flashes a cheesy smile that was undoubtedly meant to be smooth and charismatic but he's John Egbert so of course he really just looks more like a goof than anything. Especially when he raises his hands and pulls an English Double Pistols™, something better left to the master himself.]

And that is that you both absolutely take my breath away.

It's like you really get me, deep down where it counts.

[And neither is he. Taking everything too seriously is boring.]

I have heard of some animals that have the instinct to freeze up when they're in danger instead of running, but this goes beyond that... well, I suppose they're extinct for a reason.

Well... yeah, you are right. You're you and I'm me and pre-slash-post scratch selves lived completely different lives than we did. But that's what also makes it interesting! Hearing about what a completely different set of circumstances can do to you.

And... finding out what you would have become had SBURB not happened. Or what you might have become, I guess because... it's not really the same. I mean post-scratch John was older than post-scratch Dave and Rose. They probably didn't even know each other and that's kind of sad to think about.

Uh... maybe? [He furrows a brow, trying to remember.] I remember Aranea mentioning that they were very different but she didn't go into detail because she wanted to tell use the story of the Great Cherub Mating Ritual instead. Okay, well technically it wasn't all about Cherub sex but damn did she go into detail about that particular issue.

[You missed quite the conversation, Aradia.]

But yeah. Kind of hard to exist without the ectolab, haha. And kind of hard to have that without having the game in the first place. Pre-determined clusterfuck.

Exactly. Figuring things out and reaching a conclusion by yourself makes life more fun.

...so it was basically the exact opposite of everything I have ever been tolda bout Alternia?

[Wtf, trolls. Make up your minds.]

Like are we looking at an Athens vs. Sparta type deal here? Err.. wait you... wouldn't get that reference would you? Um. Basically Beforan trolls weren't conquerors and warriors like Alternian?

Oh, yeah I think Jade mentioned him once? The creepy omnisci-- son of a bitch. That was...what's his face. White suit, green suspenders! Pedo vibes to the max, um... [Really, John? You can't remember his name?]

Doc Scratch!

[Guess who is just now putting together that the old dude who was here in Johto over two years ago is the same guy who played them all for suckers? It's probably because he tries not to think about Scratch much...]

Yes, at least there's that. Like I said, they're rather good under normal circumstances... I just wish there was a way to ensure that they wouldn't completely lose all strategic value if they get hit once or twice.

I feel exactly the same way. You think we're meant to be?
