♈ Aradia: Be the bitty.

[psych0p0mps]

[Why, what's this wandering the halls today? It's a little girl, maybe four or five years old, who happens to also be an alien. She seems distressed, and so sounds the little voice picked up unwittingly by the journal.]

((Aradia's a wiggler! Headed to work but will respond asap.))

[Aradia answers with her mouth full. What are manners :| ]

umm
i was l00king f0r my lusus
we g0t split up
i d0nt kn0w where she is now

[She sounds worried!]

[disciplines]

[12 points for manners, but she won't mention that for now.]

Ahh, that's what you call your parents, right? Well, if you stick with me, I promise you'll return to her safe, whenever we find her.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind you working alongside me.

[psych0p0mps]

[What is parents... well this offer sounds 0k, but Aradia's still a little bit unsure.]

eridans gh0st t0ld me shes n0t here
and shes n0t c0ming f0r me

[disciplines]

Dammit, Eridan. Zero points for tact, kid.

[She makes a mental note to grade him poorly later and lecture him on this because that is rude, dude]

Look, don't listen to him. Eridan is...he's him. We'll search the castle ourselves and have an adventure looking for her, okay? It'll be good for you to get some exercise in.

[psych0p0mps]

[Oh good, an excuse not to listen to Eridan's ghost. Not that she wanted to anyway, but now that she has confirmation he was lying, that's good.

Aradia gets to her feet, looking a bit more chipper.]

i like adventures

[disciplines]

Well, you're in luck, this castle is full of them. Outside, too. I'm sure your lusus wouldn't mind if you got a bit of education while we looked for her; I know I'd be proud of you for taking initiative.

[Well, organizing gradebooks is gonna have to wait. Babysitter mode engaged.

She takes her cap off and puts it on your head.]

You can be leader for now.

[psych0p0mps]

[Aaaaa the hat the hat the hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's too big for her, but she feels so important now! Good luck getting it back, Alleyne.]

the leader is me??

[disciplines]

[Good thing she can wish up or make more if needed.

Ruu hops on Aradia's shoulder and squeaks again.]

Yup. You get to decide what we're up to. If anything terrible comes our way, I can take care of it. I'm pretty tough.

[psych0p0mps]

[OH MAN THIS IS SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY!?? Okay okay. Aradia puts on her best serious face and be's the leader. She picks the direction of hallway that she hasn't been down yet, and points authoritatively.]

0k
lets g0 this way
t0 the 0utside

[then, turning back to Alleyne:]

she eats grass and plants m0stly
s0 0utside is where she w0uld g0
if she was hungry

[disciplines]

[She hrms curiously. She honestly doesn't know much about how their lusus actually are yet! This makes her sound like a farm animal to her, or at least a strange vegetarian.]

Alright, just stick close by to me as you lead. What does she look like? If I get up a tree, I can see pretty far.

[psych0p0mps]

[Yes good idea. She would not want Alleyne to get lost after all! As a leader that's her responsibility. Anyway, Aradia starts down the hallway, making sure every so often that her follower is... following.]

she is a ramgar00
and shes all white like a n0rmal lusus
and she has h0rns that are curly like mine
see?

[she turns and points out her own horns JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THEM YANNO.]

[disciplines]

[She is there! Her staff is relaxed in her hand, making sure she doesn't look too intimidating.

However, she stops to blink a bit. That is a really odd description. No hot mom then?]

....That's quite the look she has going on. Should be easy to spot, especially with nice horns like you've got.

Are all lusus like that? My parents just looked a lot like me, only older.

[psych0p0mps]

[N-nice horns uguu... but no Alleyne you cannot make out with Aradia's mom :| She cocks her head, confused.]

n0 a l0t 0f different animals can be lususes
but y0urs d0esnt l00k like y0u even a little bit 0_0

[Pointing to the Ruu on her shoulder.]

except that y0u are b0th pink

[disciplines]

[It's not like she's going to do anything ever, geeze. Calm yo horns, gurl.]

You mean Ruu? Ahh, he's not a lusus. He's my companion; like a brother almost. He's been with me since he was a chimp.

Though I don't think I'm as pink as he is; that's kind of hard to do. I'm not that reddish hued, am I?

[psych0p0mps]

[SHRUGG...]

y0ure n0t grey
