♈ Aradia: Want her black romance.

[psych0p0mps]

[Nepeta]

I brought you back a souvenir! I will be by in a moment to deliver it.

[Sollux]

Hey, will you come down to the lobby? I want to show you the outpost.

[Vrisk Vriska Vri]

[The filter is scribbled out with increasing frustration.]

[Filtered away from Vriska]

Alright, so... I know Valentine's Day is about red romance, since humans don't have any other kind. But as I do not have a matesprit anyway, I want to do something for my kismesis instead. The thing is... I'm not entirely sure what I should do? Should I get her a present, or take her on a hate date, or... I don't know, wreck her respiteblock? But I don't want her to wreck mine... [sigh] Oh my god, I'm so bad at this.

... Um, a kismesis is somebody you go out with because you hate them, by the way. For anybody who didn't know that.

Filtered to this person, watch Evan completely fail to be of any help XD

[kid_apocalypse]

Well...I don't know much about relationships, but usually, for Valentine's Day you'd do something for the person you like that they like...so I guess you'd do the opposite for someone you hate?

You're not one of the trolls by chance, are you?

filtered too

[psych0p0mps]

Yes, I am! My name's Aradia.

Let's see, something she hates... well, she hates being ignored, but that doesn't really work in this case...

filtered forever!

[kid_apocalypse]

Hmm...is there anything else that she doesn't like? I'm guessing the whole point is to be...I dunno...affectionately antagonistic?

Hey, Church was telling me about you! He said you have wings, and you've got gray skin like I do.

[You can't see it, but Evan is grinning, if only because you're his first friendly contact with a troll, Sollux being who he is.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Lmao don't mind Sollux he's just cranky always. 0u0]

Yeah, something like that. You do stuff to get on each other's nerves, but you're not out to kill them or anything. Hm... she doesn't like losing, either...

... Oh! Yes, he is right about all that. I'm guessing you are not also a troll though? [or you would know all about blackrom already!]

time for the first time his loss actually has an impact....

[truestsciences]

wwhat the actual fuck are you talkin about ara

[at least he's deemed you worthy of a nickname now.]

[psych0p0mps]

[my greatest ambition, finally fulfilled.]

what do you mean
i have a kismesis and i want to do something mean for her

[- although she is not sure whether it'd be a super faux pas to ask eridan for advice on hating his ex. so yeah VAGUENESS IS GO]

[truestsciences]

thats exactly wwhat i mean
wwhat the hell is a kismesis it sounds stupid

[psych0p0mps]

...
eridan tell me please that you are kidding

Aradia

[originalcopy]

[snerk]
Sounds like half my time with Tex.

Hate date huh... I kind of like the sound of that.

Well, if you want to do something where you can both physically hate on each other without actually doing any real damage, you could go to the paintball grounds and just shoot the hell out of each other.

You'd probably want to make a "no wings" rule.

Church

[psych0p0mps]

Hehe~ You know, I'm kind of surprised how much it pops up in human relationships given that it's not officially a thing. Maybe troll romance and human romance aren't as different as we make them out to be?

Ooh, paintball's not a bad idea, though! Neither of us uses riflekind normally, so we'd be equally bad at it, too. Where are the paintball grounds?

Aradia; to end

[originalcopy]

I don't know about Troll romance, but I basically hate all my friends. Bunch of fuckin' annoying assholes.

[Church is the human equivalent of a kismesis whore. All his friends annoy him.]

We kind of have the general idea... "Frenemies", people you like to hate. It's not romantic, at least not usually.

The paintball grounds are next to the shooting range, [insert directions here].

[psych0p0mps]

[it doesn't count unless we see Blue on Blue makeouts! >:P]

Thanks. You know, in Alternian, "friend" and "enemy" are actually the same word? I've never heard them portmanteau'ed like that, though. "Frienemies," hehe.

Dat filter forever

[mal_addict]

[Oh wow that is so useful, she now has a word for what she and Nikola are]

Oh that's easy. Take her out somewhere and then insult her the entire evening.

forevs

[psych0p0mps]

But we do that every time we talk.

[mal_addict]

Yes, but this would be doing that somewhere where dinner is served.

[psych0p0mps]

So... it would be a literal candlelight hate date? I guess that's one thing we could do. Maybe after paintball?

Aradia

[iin2ufferable]

What outpost?

...and what kismesis?

Sollux

[psych0p0mps]

The outpost I rebuilt last summer! It's right near the Dead Zone. And there's a transportalizer so you don't even have to walk there.

Oh, um - I've been going out with Vriska for a little while. Heheh, sorry I forgot to mention it earlier.

Aradia

[iin2ufferable]

Vriska? As in, Vriska Serket? AA, I'm not laughing, so stop kidding around.

Sollux

[psych0p0mps]

Huh? I'm not kidding, though...

[...... and then remembering that Certain Events are not quite as Ancient History for him as they are for her...]

Look, I ... I know we had more than our share of problems with her. But she's different here. We've both been here for almost a sweep, and... well, things have changed.

[squartatore]

[does she really want to know

the page is getting a critical look; as though something illuminating will appear if she focuses hard enough]

Why would you want to do that.

[psych0p0mps]

... Why not?

[squartatore]

Because you don't get along? [boggling at this mysterious concept of hate dates]
