♈ 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.]

hell0?

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

wwhat the fuck

[disciplines]

[Someone is walking around, casually, because she can. She looks around when she hears a familiar voice, seeing you nearby, tilting her head a bit and blinking. Maybe she is seeing things.

Wow gurl, you tiny.]

...Aradia?

[psych0p0mps]

[random voice out of nowhere??? MUST BE A GH0ST!]

hell0
wh0 is that
can y0u help me

[psych0p0mps]

eep!

[0h

0h dear.

What strange, bizarre creature is this? What's with that pink skin, that weird light hair, those huge ... tracts of land ears? And what in the heck is that colorful chitinous plating across its body? (Fashion is stupid, okay.)

Aradia does what any self-preserving little troll would do when confronted with such a scary monster: she fuckin' bolts.]

[disciplines]

[Now that's an odd reaction. She blinks again, holding her hand out as if to grab her, but instead just sort of pulls her hat down over her face.]

...Smart bet is on the castle.

[She follows quietly, having her monkey Ruu lead the way. Maybe if she sees him instead she'll feel more comfortable being around her.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He's...yeah, no, he really isn't going to figure this out unless it's eventually pointed out to him.

Exasperated little sigh.]

depends wwho the fuck this is
im eridan
an i dont extend offers a assistance to just anyone

[teds_out]

[Aradia, where are you? He needs to give you your shelf. The one that he had to make twice because the first one fell apart as soon as he picked it up.

He doesn't have it this moment, at least, but while he's on the way to the room, he comes upon a little wiggler.

A little wiggler named]

Aradia?

[psych0p0mps]

eridan
...
wait i kn0w wh0 y0u are!
y0u are that stuck up high bl00d
i d0nt want t0 talk t0 y0u y0ure mean :(

[of course, she will then proceed to keep talking to him.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia has not gone far; as soon as she got around a corner, she hid under the first table she found. But she is quickly overwhelmed by curiosity. What was that thing? So when Alleyne gets around the corner, she may happen to see one wiggler "discreetly" peeking out from the long tablecloth.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia gasps and hides behind the nearest potted plant. On Alternia it is safest to assume that anything bigger than you (and many things smaller than you) are trying to kill you all the time.

But... she peeks out. The strange creature doesn't seem hostile, and it knows her name somehow. dkslaj WAT DO?]

[teds_out]

Uh-- hey!

[Ted holds his hand out helplessly. He can see little parts of Aradia sticking out from behind the plant. Why was she hiding? She was a lot smaller... and, younger, it seemed?

...Ted had a feeling he knew what was going on, but he thought it best not to jump to conclusions.]

Aradia? It's me, Ted.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[toyhopes]

[Well...it looks sounds like Aradia...and is acting a little like Aradia...and kind of looks like Aradia...only smaller than Vivi now? (Okay, maybe only by a little...but still) She runs up to her.]

Hey is that you Aradia? When did you get so little?

[psych0p0mps]

[scalebeasts D: .... i mean uhhhh, who's afraid of scalebeasts? not this girl nope not even a little bit. anyway the magic word has been said.]

[fluthlu]

... Aradia?

[Rose pauses on her way up to her room, and immediately understands.]

Do you need any help?

[psych0p0mps]

[Bitty Aradia peers up at him, shy but curious.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Yup disembodied voice probably a ghost again 0_0]

yeah

[teds_out]

[Oh, good, she still has her necklace on. He hadn't thought she'd left and come back as opposed to having a loss, but it was always a comforting reminder.

He tries to give a disarming smile.]

I'm a friend.

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia hesitates a moment, then emerges from behind the plant, holding the necklace as if she's just realized she was wearing it.]

what happened t0 y0ur h0rns

[psych0p0mps]

[By now Aradia is quite confused as to how everybody seems to know who she is. As well as several other things.]

[She holds up two fingers illustratively.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Oh boy another strange alien???? what is this]

[psych0p0mps]

[nope.avi the wiggler is still distressed]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Luckily, Eridan is great with wigglers.

j/k, he's starting to lose what little patience he had and is now raising his voice.]
