second bubble; video/action. FOURTH WALL.

video;
[ Someone's certainly happy today. Aradia has absolutely no clue what's going on, but she knows when it's going on to exact degrees and she's a god tier troll again. Life is good! Although she's also apparently doing spontaneous teleportation, at least going places is a lot easier! She has all the time in the world.

May as well ask about whatever is happening, even if it's mostly happy. ]

This isn't normal, right? I've been to several different places without staying for very long, and I stopped taking my map out about five stops ago. I don't think I can check them off as places I've been if I only stay for a handful of minutes at a time, right?

Oh, but I'm a fairy again! Well, a troll. [ If that was not incredibly obvious from the video. Gray skin with a reddish tint when she flushes, curling horns, and yellow whites of the eye... ] I missed flying!

Is everyone else doing okay?

action;
[ Alternately, catch Aradia as she's ported through to different places, although you might have to make do with a quick chat. Hopefully she doesn't catch you in an awkward position. She'll eventually end up at Violet City, where she'll be for most of the event. Happy lazy coincidences! She'll be flitting around town and poking at anything interesting and talking to whoever. Indy the Gastly is going to be out and flying with her for the duration of the event, because she pretty much never puts him in his pokeball. ]

[Oh gurl, you did not just go there.] Are you kidding? All of my tastes are completely cool and sophisticated. Name one gross thing I like. [He puts his hands on his hips as he walks. Of course, everything you mention will be met with a rebuttal along the lines of "are you kidding? that shit is delicious!" But then again, it probably wasn't a serious invitation.]

[Sollux reaches into his pocket and tosses out a Pokéball, revealing a (surprise surprise) Claydol.] I got this one when I started... and I may or may not have named her after you, eheheh.

[ She will just give you a look, Sollux. Especially if you pulled the slushie mixing with troll equivalent drinks. ] Name one gross thing I like! [ They're so mature. Look at all this rampant maturity. ]

[ Claydol. Wow, Indy might get a little jealous because Aradia is incredibly impressed by this pokemon and may or may not have bounced a little with excitement there. Sorry Sollux, she's going to examine Aradiamon thoroughly before answering you, as you're not made of clay and don't look like a temple idol. Aradiamon how are you so cool.

Sollux will probably get a text someday about how the markings on Claydol remind Aradia of Unown script. Things he probably won't care about. ]

After me? [ Amusement. ] I named Indy after - well, you can guess.

[Excuse you, the slushie mixing is a completely mature thing to do and many admirable adults have done it, he's sure.]

Dead people.

[Okay, so she doesn't eat dead people. But they're gross and she likes them.]

Indy... oh no, not East Alternian pop sensation Indyza Sparks? For shame, Aradia. For shame.

Dead people aren't gross! [ She could argue that pretty much half the people they know are dead - including him, kind of - but that would. Probably ruin the not sad mood, so Aradia's going to bite her tongue there. ] And they're not edible. I mean, I guess technically they are - [ are you really going to discuss cannibalism here

No because she's going to punch Sollux in the shoulder. HEY. ] Troll Indiana Jones, as you well know!

Dead rotting corpses are totally gross and there is nothing you can say to convince me, or another part of the reasonably sane population, otherwise. ...And didn't I just get done talking to you about how they don't have fried grub-legs? People are completely safe to-- ow!

[Okay, he's gotten a bit tougher since landing in magical fartsy wonderland, but not that much. So punches from Aradia? Still hurt.]

Troll Indiana Jones? Well, god damn. I never could have guessed.

Well, you like fried grub legs, so therefore you don't think dead people are gross! Ha! [ LOGIC'D.

Wow they're really arguing about this, aren't they. And she will just. Laugh at the "ow". ]

He is the most perfect movie character ever, so there. I dare you to find a better movie character!

But grubs aren't people yet, they're grubs.

[Did you know that Sollux is an asshole, Aradia? Because he is.]

Find a better movie character? Sure. Let's just walk into this theater and I'll point out twelve of them. [And then he opens the door to said theater like a true gentleman.]

Wrigglers are people too, Sollux! They're just very small people!

[ She was aware. ]

Oh no you won't, because there isn't a better character than Indiana Jones. [ She is this close to sticking her tongue out at you, but instead she will go through the door with a little laugh, waiting inside for Sollux to trail after. ]

Every character is better than Indiana Jones. [He sweeps the many posters advertising films on the wall.] As a matter of fact, the only character who's not better than Indiana Jones is actually Indiana Jones.

That's a lie!! [ And wow she's basically making the exact face you see above. For the first time since getting here. Good job, Sollux. ] You don't even know half of these characters, Sollux!

[Sollux just laughs.]

You know I don't give a shit about Troll Indiana Jones. You can like him if you want. Whatever.

[ Wow don't make her punch you again. ...Except she sort of laughs too. ]

You're a jerk! Anyway, which one of these are we seeing again?

The one with the explosio-- ...wait.

[They all have explosions.]

It was the spy movie, I think.

Oh, the sky one!

[ She's located a poster that looks appropriate, anyway. So now they just need tickets and snacks. She'll beeline for the ticketline, expecting Sollux to follow along. ]

[Dayum gurl, you run fast. Sollux's physical capabilities have increased greatly since he arrived here, and he now doesn't look quite so awkward with those broad shoulders now that he has some actual muscle underneath them, but he's still panting harder than he should have been once they get on the line.]

Jesus Christ.

[ When people actually leave their hives in childhood for fresh air and exercise, they tend to acquire capabilities like running fast and crossing chasms conveniently located in their back yards. She just shoots Sollux an amused look as he catches up. ]

Tired already?

Go... [Pant.] ...fuck... [Pant.] ...yourself. [Pant.]

[ Wow, rude. Or it would be rude if it weren't Sollux and par for the course, which is why the only reaction he gets is laughter at his expense. ] Still better than before, though - not that you really ran when you could float.

[ ...Actually, that does get him a startled glance, since he could have. ] I think it's fun to walk together, though!

[ And she's totally going to pay for the tickets now. ]

Flying was... faster. [He seems to be catching his breath again.] And it's not like I had anyone I had to walk with.

[He dusts off his clothes before they get to the front of the line, and promptly goes back to folding his arms like any old surly teenager.]

Lazier, you mean. [ But she's only teasing, since she doesn't actually mind. With the tickets in hand they can leave one line to join another.

Humans sure do have a lot of lines for things. Aradia never waited in any lines back on Alternia, really. ] Does it seem a little crowded today?

Faster, I mean.

[As they wait, Sollux notices that they're getting a lot of funny smiles from people around. He glares distrustfully at all of them to combat this.] Yeah. And they're all trying to make a spectacle of us, apparently.

[Uh, two teens walking into a movie theater without a parent? Do the math, Captor.]

If you say so! [ Not that she says that in anything but a teasing tone, so it's not that convincing.

Aradia glances around curiously when he mentions that; for all that they look like trolls again, she hadn't found any of the humans living in Johto reacting that oddly to her, unless they were non-natives. It had to be another weird game mechanic.

...They're not frowning, though. Give her a second to catch on. ] ...Oh! I don't think that's the case, Sollux.

Then what is it?

[Trolls aren't that funny to look at. They should be cowering in fear at these two grey alien creatures with horns. Blar. Look how scary.]

[ Sollux please. ]

They probably just think we're on a date, don't they? I don't think anyone has been reacting to seeing trolls otherwise, which is a little strange. But then again, so is suddenly being back to normal! There's no reason to glare at people, anyway.

A date?

[Sollux stopped glaring just long enough to look back at her, a little bit confused underneath the perpetual annoyance.]

We're not on a date, are we?

[Child. Child, stahp.]
