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. ]

[timelymaid]

Yes and no. I am still not entirely familiar with all that being a human entails, but...well, there are perks.

[cr0aked]

There are probably perks to everything. [a thoughtful pause] Even if I can't think of most of them.

[timelymaid]

You'll be able to, though! [ Since she can, now. ] We never thought we'd get to be alive again, did we?

[cr0aked]

I certainly didn't until today. [although given doomed timelines and such that wasn't saying much] It's probably one of the few positive things to look forward to in the future. Or, look forward to being able to look forward to things.

[timelymaid]

Yes! You can look forward to that, or at least can know it will happen and you will enjoy it happening.

[cr0aked]

I think that's as good as I'm ever going to get. [which was...exciting, somehow. to have something good in her future.]

[timelymaid]

This is sort of nostalgic. Since I came here, I haven't gotten to speak to any of us.

[cr0aked]

I haven't reached the point in our timeline when there are many of me to deal with. I suppose that this is something like training for it.

[sort of. she's pretty sure there's supposed to be less frogs and more robots in the actual event]

[timelymaid]

To an extent, although many of our past selves will and already have taken on the role of the dead for us. That is to say they will guide our hand.

[cr0aked]

[she grimaces a little] That explains a lot about that, then.

[timelymaid]

Yes, we...get a little annoyed about that. [ To say the least. ]

[cr0aked]

We're a little annoyed about that already. [because wow being dead apparently does nothing to dull annoyances]

[timelymaid]

[ That gets a startled laugh out of her living counterpart. ] We are, aren't we? But it gets worse after we remember how to get mad.

[cr0aked]

At least we'll remember how to do something about it then. [she imagines remembering how to emotions will help a great deal]

[timelymaid]

That's one way of looking at things. [ Aradiabot doesn't really remember much beyond "anger". ]

[cr0aked]

It's just a different way to phrase being ok with it for the sake of conversation. [look see she's trying!!! somebody give the frog girl a medal]

[timelymaid]

[ Aradia would so give her a medal if she had one. ]

I suppose even back then we still considered that sort of thing. Maybe we didn't forget as much as we thought we did.

[cr0aked]

Maybe. It's difficult to compare much right now. [you know, with only one experience she really remembers]

[timelymaid]

We don't need to worry about comparisons, anyway! Do you want me to show you anyplace in particular? Oh! They do have movies and things here.

[cr0aked]

Movies? [she feels...something stirring in her at the mention of that]

[timelymaid]

Yes! Like Troll Indiana Jones! Only not that one, obviously. Unfortunately.

[cr0aked]

We wouldn't be lucky enough for that, no. [Troll Indiana Jones is badass enough to transcend the apathy of death. true fax.] Is there anything similar to it, though?

[timelymaid]

I think there's a chance there might be? There seem to be equivalents of many movies and books here - just with pokemon in them. We could always find a video shop and attempt to find the right crossover?

[cr0aked]

It's something to pass the time. [don't let her bored tone fool you, she actually looks vaguely into this. Doctorturer Jonesssss ♥]

[timelymaid]

[ No worries; Aradia knows how much they love the Doctoturer! She'll start walking to where she thinks a video store is, Gastly following behind her. ] Yes! I'm not sure how much time we have, but I'm certain there's at least enough time for a movie.
