the costume is the least of her worries

[timebender]

Who: Aradia Megido AND YOU
When: March 15th
Where: Plaza
Style: action!
Status: open

[ Aradia is out in the plaza, not in her curse-prescribed new duds, but in a bunny costume. Though she has a stack of fliers in hand and manages to hand a few out, she's intermittently distracted by trying to keep a pair ofbunny ears on the goat at her side.

The goat, however, seems more interested in alternately trying to eat the fliers and the bunny tail on the back of her costume, bringing her in circles as she tries to reaffix the headband on its head. So far she's managed not to bump into anyone, but she grows increasingly frustrated. ]

Would you stand still for just a second? You look cute, there is no need to fuss so much!

[Some guys might get drawn here by the knowing that there is a girl in a bunny outfit. Not Gamzee. Mostly cause he actually didn't hear anything about that, but also cause he is here cause he heard a goat bleat. Hey, you hear a sound your dearly departed lusus used to make and you'd go and check that shit out too, yeah?

He pauses at what he sees though.]

Woah, Aradia, is that you, man?

[He didn't know yet you were back!]

[secondcoolest]

[ Hey may have been one of the few people around the place that hadn't turned into an RPG character overnight, but that didn't mean he didn't need to go out and get some things. Which was sort of irritating, when all around him people were casting magic and fighting wolves and asking him if he was an NPC. Did he look like a damn NPC?!

He gets distracted as he walks through the plaza by what he recognizes to be a troll being chased by a goat. Or was she chasing the goat? It was sort of hard to tell.

Bon looks around him for a moment before finally reaching out to break a limb off of a branch. He lets out a sharp whistle to get their attention, and holds the branch out in the direction of the goat. ]

Lunch time.

[replicatedcourage]

[Aradia certainly looks better in that outfit than Sola did. Or Laharl for that matter. Johnny... No he's not gonna think about it. Doggedly, Sola steps forward to hold the goat still so Aradia can put the ears on it.]

It looked like you needed some help.

[unconchonable]

Ara, what the fin-flippin' fuck are you doin'?

[Lo and behold! There's Eridan in his black mage outfit, staring at her incredulously. Just, what.]

What's with the bleetbeast?

[rebull]

[What a sight for sore eyes... He's almost a bit taken aback by seeing her after some time has passed. It's nice though, missed her, so he really doesn't have too many reservations with meandering her way once he sees her in the plaza. The costume's a little, interesting, but it doesn't deter him at all.]

Red! Hey, heh, wow, it's uh, been a while. Didn't know you flew back in.

[Said as he gives a fond sort of smile, moving to give the goat some attention with his hand on it's muzzle. Come on little guy, leave her fliers alone, girl's trying to work it.]

[timebender]

[ Last time she saw Gamzee was... well. No one's actually seen Gamzee lately, so she could only guess it wasn't anything like this, curse aside. ]

Yes, last time I checked, that was me.

[ The goat, acting of its own will, approaches Gamzee to search his hands for food, naturally. ]

[420]

[Well, the outfit is the same, at least. His intentions? Not so much. Probably. What is that clown even up to, who knows.

Gamzee's hands rise automatically to establish dominance over the goat by patting his snout and giving him scritches behind the ear. Kinda like what he used to do for his ol' goat, except now he doesn't have to use his full body.]

Shit, my wicked sister, I didn't get my notion on at realizing you was being back again. Brings a brother's gladness on to see!

[timebender]

[ The goat pauses for a second, at least long enough for Aradia to affix the bunny ears on his head, stares at the newcomer with a look that says do I look like a dog to you, bleats once, then turns its attention out to the plaza.

Aradia just smiles and pushes her hair back, looking all the more relieved. ]

That's one way to do it! Thanks for the help.

[timebender]

[ Little known fact: Frederick loves being loved almost as much as food and since Gamzee appears to be inedible, he submits to it, much to Aradia's relief. ]

Well... I am! And everyone has already filled me in, and I am sorry to say that I am not the Aradia you are looking for. Hopefully I will be a good replacement!

[timebender]

[ There is some startled grunting on the behalf of the goat, but Aradia finally gets the ears on him. ]

Phew! Thanks for that! Maybe that should be its own quest... goat wrestling!

[timebender]

Eridan, would you mind helping me for a moment? If you could just grab hold of his horns for me.

[ Yes, way to completely miss the question. ]

[timebender]

[ The touch distracts the goat for long enough for Aradia to get the ears on it, freeing her up to go back to guarding her fliers, though they're not longer in danger. The goat takes to the newcomer comfortably. ]

I didn't know that I flew back in either, until everyone told me so! You must have known the past Aradia.

[rebull]

Ah- [Oh, past Aradia, well- it's still good to see her again, he manages an awkward sort of smile.]

Ha- right, sorry. Guess it's a little weird, me just uh- coming up to you like that then, eh? Though from the sounds of it, you're probably used to it by now?

[replicatedcourage]

[That gets a laugh from Sola.]

That sounds like a really hard quest!

[He lets go of the goat now that the ears are on and straightens up, dusting his knees.]

What's your name? I'm Sola.

[Considering they only talked in text before, he doesn't recognize her at all.]

[420]

[Thank god, he loves the loving. One could only imagine the horror if Frederick decided that cod pieces are good for nomming.]

I wasn't all having the awareness of supposing to be looking for a particular one of you motherfuckers.

[Any Aradia is an Aradia right? And all Aradias are his friends (so he believes) which makes any and all Aradias a good person to have around!]

Just gets a bro's glad on to see you back, sister.

[timebender]

And I am glad to see you again too. [ In a way. ] Out of curiosity, how long have you been here?

[timebender]

Yes, I think we have talked before! I'm Aradia. Remember?

[ She gestures at her curly horns! ]

[timebender]

It has definitely happened more than once! But that doesn't mean we can't be reintroduced. Any friend of a past me is a friend of the current me!

[420]

[He pauses for a moment, clearly doing the mental math.]

Man, I'm guessin' it's all been like a fuckin' sweep now.

[replicatedcourage]

Oh right! They really do look like the curly a symbol!

[He kind of wants to touch them, but if troll horns are anything like Hylian ears, maybe he'd better not. He blushes a little at the thought.]

How do you like Vatheon so far? I think this curse is especially fun!

[rebull]

Heh, well all right. I'm The Summoner, pretty great to meet you again, Red. [Nods his head a bit, standing up straight and stopping any petting he was doing to her goat companion.]

So uh, the outfit, your usual these days?

[unconchonable]

I don't got time to be messin' with your bleetbeast, I'we got some ingredients I'm meanin' to gather for some fuckin' chef. Some fuckin' mermaid tails or whatewer.

[But he stares at the goat for a moment, before flicking his gaze back to her.]

But you didn't answer me, why do you ewen got the thing?

[timebender]

It seems you're not the only one, either. You must be used to all of this by now.

[ By which she means... the getups. The goat. Curse stuff. ]

[timebender]

It's interesting, to put it very simply, but I was barely getting to know the place before everything changed!

[420]

Alla what? You mean you bros and sisses what keep on getting your drop in and out at us bros what are staying for keeps here?

[Well, he likes to think he is staying forever. He likes this place. It is home.]

Some motherfuckin' experience is what it is. Blows a brother's sponge just all thinking of time getting its trek ontowards even without us motherfuckers there.

[Which is not... exactly correct probably? More like some timelines go on and others don't? Are they from doomed timelines? Does it even fuckin' matter. He was not the dude of time!!1!]

But it's cool, sister, you hear me. Sometimes it gets to crackin' at a brother's pump to see what beautiful memories went forgot and the sadness that can put on a motherfucker, but it's chill. Friends like us, we can just be all about making new stuff for remembering, right?
