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, I think he can understand you fine. He's just Karkat about it.

[ that's an adjective right ]

[viiru2alert]

He could teach an entire college seminar on Karkatting.

[Absolutely.]

you always tag me when I'm logged in tackling tags IT'S LIKE CLOCKWORK AND AMUSES ME

[timelymaid]

He'd probably fail all of his students, though.

I AM SECRETLY A TIME PLAYER DON'CHA KNOW

[viiru2alert]

And bitching him out about it is the real final exam.

time players represent yo

[timelymaid]

You got an A+, of course.

[viiru2alert]

Motherfucker, I got a 105.

[timelymaid]

[ Okay she can't keep a straight face. ]

I'd be worried if you two ever dedicated yourselves to bitching out the same person at the same time.

[viiru2alert]

We did, once.

Dude was in counseling for months. [>:D]

[timelymaid]

I don't think the world is prepared for you to get along all the time.

[viiru2alert]

And that's why we're smart about it.

[He's obviously excruciatingly stupid about it in reality, and so is Karkat. But their stupidity prevents Aradia's scenario from happening; the world is not prepared for them to get along all the time.]

[timelymaid]

[ Actually thinking about it she's really certain the world will never be prepared for that. It's a good thing they're the sort of best friends that can't get along for more than five seconds at a time. ]

Oh, you're brilliant. [ TEASING TONE. ]

[viiru2alert]

[Sollux puts a hand to his heart, grinning smugly. Little psionic fireworks sparkle in the background.]

Thank you, AA. You're too kind.

[timelymaid]

I am, aren't I? Should I do something really mean to make up for it?

[viiru2alert]

But then I'd have to do something back.

And you know how bad KK and I get?

We would be worse.

[timelymaid]

Why do you think we'd be worse? [ Not like she's contesting that, she's just honestly interested in the reasoning. ]

[viiru2alert]

Because I get the feeling you can be pretty damn scary if you want to be.

[timelymaid]

...Well, you're not wrong! [ Although she's smiling in a way that doesn't back that up, well - there's a reason she was part of the whole revenge cycle bit. ]

[viiru2alert]

[He's just holding the whole idea of the revenge cycle at a very respectful distance, but yeah, that's probably a good indicator.]

That's what I thought.

[timelymaid]

But the world can handle us getting along? ...Well, unless we both got upset at the same thing, but I don't think that's ever really happened!

[viiru2alert]

When we're getting along, we don't really mean it. [Smirk.]

...Oh, fuck, the movie's starting.

[timelymaid]

[ And although she was about to say something back, Aradia shuts her mouth, because wow, they don't want to be those two kids who talk through the entire film in the back of the theater.

Even if they apparently managed that for the previews.

wow they're not winning any popularity polls with the other people there probably. ]

[viiru2alert]

[Are you kidding? Everyone in this theater loves them. Throwing popcorn, talking loudly, making nasty noises... this is exactly what you're supposed to do when a movie begins, right?]

[But now they shut up, and Sollux is completely going to town on that popcorn. Apparently all he eats is snack food.]

[timelymaid]

[ They are Those People. Wow, they need to work on that. They probably hit people with popcorn on accident, too.

He should really eat better, but he's not getting a side scolding about that because 1) noise and 2) movie theater where it is acceptable to go to town on popcorn. Aradia will stick to the strange sour candies because apparently Sollux really likes the popcorn. ]
