♈ Aradia: Finally get around to showing your face. [video]

[psych0p0mps]

[The video feed opens on an alien teenager who some of you may never have seen before, dressed all in red and grinning widely. Most notably, though, she is wearing two eye patches, one over each eye. She gets right down to business.]

Is this working? Yes? It beeped, so I think so. Okay.

People of the internet, I have a quick question. [She points to the eyepatches.] On a scale of one to ten, how silly do these look?

[fintastic]

Aradia, no. I think you should take those off!

video foreverrr

[psych0p0mps]

[laughs] I will in a minute, Feferi! I am just trying to prove a point here.

[biwinning]

Negative twenty two.

[fintastic]

That you look really really silly like that?

[psych0p0mps]

That is about two hundred percent off the scale in the wrong direction, Sollux.

[psych0p0mps]

I assume so! I can't really tell. But Sollux says this is high fashion, and we all know he is an expert on the subject.

[ragging on sollux: the movie!]

[fintastic]

You trusted Sollux's advice on fashion? Aradia, are you sure you didn't get hit in the head during the bombs?

[ Sorry Sollux. Feferi sounds legitimately concerned about Aradia though. ]

[Give him a bit, he's too busy just staring right now. It's a mix between a glare and a scared expression, brows furrowed and twitching over his shades before finally-]

D --> 100
D --> 100% even, completely
D --> Strip them off immediately

[So. he. can. see. your. eyes.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Daww. Aradia kinda picks up on that, but chuckles.]

No, no. I suggested wearing them as a joke, but he took me seriously for some inscrutable reason. He will not believe me when I say they look incredibly silly!

[fintastic]

Well, maybe on Sollux it's kind of cute, but I think that's just because he's cute at all.

[Give her a second, the screen reader has to repeat what you just typed in excruciating monotone. "Dee one hundred Dee one hundred percent even completely Dee-" ... okay she doesn't recognize the quirk when it's read out loud like that, but finds his answer pretty funny regardless.]

Haha, hang on! I want to get a few more opinions first.

[psych0p0mps]

Well, naturally. [Of course you think that! :P] Maybe if they were both red? Blue isn't really my color.

[musclebeast]

D --> What are you doing
D --> Stop
D --> Don't mock me, know your place
D --> No, their opinions don't matter

[fintastic]

Why not some fashionable goggles instead?

sounds legit

[psych0p0mps]

[now waaaaaaaaaait just a minute. it's been quite a while since someone sticking gratuitous D's at the start of their sentences has told her to know her place... and she happens to know he's here in the same world. her grin fades as recognition sets in.]

... Equius, is that you?

[psych0p0mps]

[... yeah, sure, this silliness has gone on for quite long enough.] Why not indeed?

[she goes to take off the eyepatches, revealing the still-irritated eyes underneath. one comes off without a fight, but the other gets snagged on her horn and escapes from her hand, so it's just... hanging there by its cord. she feels around for it briefly, but can't seem to find it.]

Oh, shoot. I dropped it.

Re: sounds legit

[musclebeast]

D --> Of course it's me, who else would it be
D --> Don't fiddle around, Megido, I won't stand for it
D --> Especially since
D --> You're here now
D --> Not that it's e%tremely important, but it would be unwise to present yourself in such a ridiculous manner
D --> Being a lowb100d or not, there aren't many of us here, so we must be respectable to a degree, represent our kind tastefoally

[fintastic]

Whoops! ...Aradia are you home right now?

[psych0p0mps]

[Insert the HEAVIEST OF SIGHS here. Plus an actual physical facepalm. She may have forgotten a little bit that he can totally see this.]

You're really talking to me about tastefulness right now?

[musclebeast]

D --> Yes

[psych0p0mps]

Yeah, why?

[psych0p0mps]

[The circle of irony is now complete. It proceeds to spin its way through the stratosphere, taking terrible selfies all the way into space.]

Well, please don't. Anyway, I'm just fooling around. It's not a big deal.

[musclebeast]

D --> You canter tell me what to do
D --> You know that
D --> F001ing around is a big deal, it's an e%tremely big deal and a complete waste of time
D --> You're too elegant for that
D --> Even if you shouldn't be

[fintastic]

[ Yeah Feferi is just going to come find Aradia in her respiteblock or wherever and talk to her in person. She invites herself in but knocks on the door frame to let Aradia know she's there. ]

Hey Aradia!

You saw nothing.

[biwinning]

Nope you're wrong.

Come on AA, you used two roll in dirt for fun, I would think I'd know what high density city people think high fashion is.
