[ Aradia is sitting on the roof of building 8, swinging her legs off the air conditioning duct. Sometimes you've just got to spread your wings! (she's trying to ascertain where the ticking is coming from, too, but that's not all that relevant right now.) ]

Hey, does anyone want to play a game? I haven't done this since I was a wriggler, but for some reason, it seems like it would be fun today! It's called truth or dare, but I'm warning you... I never, ever turn down a dare. [ she grins at the camera before turning the feed off ]

We're even for now, so I don't think she'd try anything, but that doesn't mean I want to deal with her. Going out is just easier! [ offers arm like a true gentleman ]

You and me both. [ taking her arm like a perfect lady!! this is a little humiliating. ]

[ yeah but you won't give in and stop because you are dave. into the hallway we goooo ] Oh, so you've talked to her? I really didn't keep an eye on the others trolling in the lab.

[ striders don't give up ] In the game we didn't talk much, but I heard a lot about her from TZ.

I thought that might be it. We had a rough sweep or so before the game started-- but she probably told you about that!

Heard she killed you.

She did. I'm over it, though! I had to be dead for us to have any chance of making it through the game in one piece, I understand that now. If she hadn't done it the way she did, I think we could have reconciled eventually. Well, I think we maybe could have.

How do you get over someone killing you?

Like I said, it needed to happen! There's a lot that I understand now that I didn't want to understand back then.

Right.

[ nope you're still weird ]

[ THE WEIRDEST ] It's okay, you don't have to get it! I don't think anyone else does, either. I said it to you in the dream bubble, but that wasn't this you... I couldn't grieve for a long time, and then once I could, I realized there wasn't anything to grieve about! But you're not really at ease with that yet, and that's okay too.

[ what ] I'm not dead.

I know, but talking about dying makes you uncomfortable, doesn't it? We can talk about something else, it's okay.

Nothing makes me uncomfortable, it's fine. I don't care.

[ there are a lot of things she could say to that, but instead she just smiles and pats his arm as they enter the building's lobby ] Okay, we're almost out! Get ready to keep your eyes out for completely inappropriate shoes!

Leather thigh-highs, got it.

As long as they're red. You have to match!

Of course. Wouldn't want to offend any innocent, virgin eyes.

I don't think eyes would be innocent and virgin any more after seeing this picture. You may be scarring them for life!

You started this, fruity time fairy. The blinding of innocent children is on you.

[ people may be staring a bit as they walk down the street, but aradia gives no fucks ] Maybe they won't be blinded. Maybe you'll gain a fanclub!

Don't even joke about that, it's pretty likely to happen. People just flock to me.

I can see it. Ooh, Mr. Strider, ooh! [ she laughs, because her poker face does not even begin to approach his ]

What, we're gonna start trading memes now? I think this is a whole new step in our relationship.

Am I moving too fast for you? All these cultural differences sure are confusing!
