♈ >Aradia: Be a tough cookie ♈

[adventuretime]

♈ AA: Morning; Phone

Oh no...

I think I've been gone for quite awhile!

[There's some rustling and a clatter. Aradia went to check the calender.]

I'm sorry about not being around! I guess I...I don't think I've died? I could be wrong. Maybe I got droned? I'm back though. I'm pretty sure I'm back! Hehe, I guess I wouldn't be making this phone call otherwise.

Oh I have to get off the phone now. I'm going to be late for school!

♈ AA: Afternoon; School Cafeteria

[Aradia is just sitting at one of the lunch tables with her lunch baggie. She's munching away at her sandwich, happy and bliss. She missed all the operations. It was probably a good thing. Aradia would have been upset, and with her psychic powers available at her disposal...

But what Aradia doesn't seem to know is there's a wad of gum shoved into her hair.

She had gotten into an argument with one of the kid drones. He wouldn't let her play sports with them! The nerve of these drone kids. She didn't realize when she turned and left in a huff, he had shoved gum into her hair. Poor thing. It was stuck pretty badly in her hair now.

Someone better tell her, before leaves and gunk get stuck in it too.]

Afternoon; At School

[a1a100]

[Sollux was so happy to be able to see everything again. To be able to put on clothes that actually look good. And to see what he was actually eating in the cafeteria. But the one thing he was most happy to see was his matesprit. How long has it been since he last saw her? A month? Either way, he is dropping his lunch tray and running over to her, throwing his arms around her neck and-- what was that in her hair.

He lets go and sits down next to her, setting his elbow on the table and leaning his chin on his hand.]

I would hug you more but there's something in your hair and I'm not sure that I want to touch it.

[adventuretime]

[She brightens up immediately when she sees Sollux! She tilts her head curiously though. Something in her hair?

She reaches ba-gross. What is this stuff anyways? Aradia had never chewed gum before, so it wasn't something she recognized.]

I don't know what this is! It's sticky though. Maybe it's glue. [But she didn't go to arts and crafts. And glue dried. She figured this out the hard way when she had to wash it all off her hand once.]

[a1a100]

We should probably get it out of your hair before it dries.

[He gets up and takes her hand.]

There are napkins and shit in the bathrooms.

[He smiles.]

[adventuretime]

[She grabs hold of his hand, the other hand trying to tug the gum out of it as she follows him.

Needless to say, it wasn't working.] Owowow. It's stuck Sollux! I can't get it out. [She tries tugging at it again. Honestly, she's probably making it worst.

[a1a100]

Stop tugging, you're probably just going to end up ripping your hair out.

[He takes her into the girl's bathroom and walks over to the sinks, not caring if any other girls saw that he was in there.

He lets go and thinks for a minute.]

Okay so, how are we going to do this...

[adventuretime]

[What is having different bathrooms? What is privacy and how does it work?]

I'm sure a few missing hairs won't be that big of a deal. I have plenty of hair, Sollux. It won't come out though.

At all! And it's really gross and stick on my hand. [She huffs a bit.] I bet that stupid boy put it in there because he was angry at me.

[a1a100]

Why was he angry?

[Drone kids man.

He drags her over closer to the sink and turns her around so he could get at the gum in her hair. He turns on the water and starts to get her hair wet so maybe it would be easier for the gum to let go. And of course, it wasn't.]

What the fuck is this shit even?

[afternoon]

[imperial_ray]

-You really have to pardon Dizzy. She's just... sort of staring at that hair. And what may or may not be inside of it.-

[adventuretime]

[She turns and looks over at Dizzy.] Oh, hello! Did you want to sit down? There's plenty of room at this sitting and table top device to share.

[imperial_ray]

-... And then staring devolved to pointing.-

Aradia. Your hair.

[adventuretime]

Oh yes. I have a lot of it. I guess it's surprising for some people. But it hasn't gotten that much longer!

[She is completely oblivious to what you're trying to communicate.]

[imperial_ray]

But... there's something in it.

[adventuretime]

Oh? What is it? I mean, sometimes leaves get in it, but I guess you're not talking about leaves.

[Phone]

[cawtier]

Oh, hey, you're back. Was wonderin' where you'd gotten off to. You missed out on crazy surgery week.

[Phone] Oh gosh I'm so soirry for being so late.

[adventuretime]

Crazy surgery week? Was that the same time injuries started appearing? Because I was there for that! And then I...wasn't. Hmm.

[Phone]

[cawtier]

Yeah, like... kidnapping people then giving them back put-together backwards. Or with parts missing. Or replaced by robots. All kinds of weird shit. It was wild. Handed out free T-shirts and memorabilia.

[Phone]

[adventuretime]

It sounds like I missed a lot!

Is everyone alright now though? I don't remember any of that, so I must have blanked out before the kidnappings.

[Phone]

[cawtier]

Yeah, pretty much. After a while some Mayfield person got sick of the crazy lady doing the kidnapping stuff and fixed the revival machine and everything went back to the same old, same old.

[Phone]

[adventuretime]

That's silly! Why didn't they just fix it earlier? I would have tried to help, but I don't know what happened. I guess I knew it broke, but I woke up and it was suddenly a lot later then I remember.

I guess everyone is okay now though. Oh no, I should have been around though! What if someone needed my help?

at school

[imoutos]

[ Nadeko does spot it being stuck in her hair, really, but-- oh god, oh god, she's much too shy to point something like that out, so she's trying to figure out a subtle way to go about it..

Sitting down at the same table a bit nervously is a start, it's a familiar person at least so at least that part isn't as scary. ]

U.. um, hi..!

late;;;

[adventuretime]

[She smiles brightly at Nadeko. Don't worry! She always likes seeing Nadeko.]

Hello! I haven't seen you around in awhile, hehe. I guess that's my fault though. [She's still not sure where all that missing time went.] Have you been okay? I heard some crazy things happened while I was gone!

that's okay! <33 I can wait..

[imoutos]

Hmm, I'm okay.. a-and, please don't worry! [ she nods - a little deeply, as if it's a half-bow of sorts. ]

I've actually.. been gone for a while too, I guess, since-- I was droned for a bit..

<3!

[adventuretime]

I won't worry now! Seeing you here, I'm glad you're fine.

I think I was droned for awhile too. I was a little confused, but I'm okay now.

[imoutos]

How strange, maybe we really got droned at the same time.. I wonder if this place did that because of some sort of special reason.

[ She idly pokes at her food a little without actually eating it. ]

[adventuretime]

I don't know! I would keep track of it all, but there's so many people. I don't know if there is anyway to figure out a pattern.

I guess, we'll just have to deal with it.
