WHO: Soren/Sollux & Aria/Aradia.
WHAT: An outing.
WHEN: Friday October 4th, in the evening.
WHERE: In Locke, at a pizza place and then movies which they might not talk all the way through, because How Rude.

[ Aria's as prompt as she ever is with appointments; a few hours after school ends, and a while before the movie starts, she goes to pick Soren up in Mara's car, which is old and red and has a dangling sailor moon equivalent figure where some people put air fresheners or fuzzy dice. She shoots off a text to Soren once there, and spends the intervening time tapping out messages to other people, rapid-fire, though she'll drop the phone back into her purse whenever he comes out.

Further confusing the issue of What Are We Doing Right Now, Aria actually dressed up, in that she is not in her typical jeans-and-some-shirt combination, but opted for a black knee-length skirt and a red-and-black striped blouse. ...And then a pair of worn-out neon-pink sneakers with bored marker doodles over them that match nothing at all ever why does she own these, so never mind that.

She'll wave whenever Soren reaches the car, leaning over to open the passenger door from the inside. ]

Hey! Don't look in the back seat, Mara says all the clutter is necessary and if I try to tidy it up she'll do something to me. Well, she didn't say that in as many words, but there were threats and eye rolls and I decided not to risk it.

...Do I even want to know why you were dared to do that?

[eras]

Ummm. I believe we were arguing about something - well, "arguing" [ air quotes ] - and it came down to "you and what army" and I said my army capabilities were unknown and possibly dangerous and was then dared to, you know, prove it.

[ most of her conversations are ridiculous. ]

[mood2wiingiing]

That sounds pretty great. I wanna see you conjure an internet army sometime.

[eras]

Not you, too!! And I have to sort of figure out who would respond to an internet army call. I am almost certain I could probably talk a few people into it, but I don't know what the headcount would be.

[mood2wiingiing]

I think it depends on what your army is standing for.

I would totally join your internet army though.

[eras]

At the time it was standing for overruling something Ava said, but I do not know what my internet army would usually stand for. Can it stand for pizza? Is that a legitimate thing to stand for?

[ because currently she wouldn't mind standing for pizza, that sounds doable. ]

And I'm touched! I will join any internet army you make, too.

[mood2wiingiing]

I don't care what anyone else says, pizza is totally a thing you can stand for. Definitely.

[grin] Awesome. We'll have the best internet armies ever.

[eras]

Especially if we're ordering it. [ which should be a thing soon. she will probably get water, because sometimes for all her adventurous!!ness aria can be boring. ]

But who else would we recruit?

[mood2wiingiing]

Everyone who isn't an asshole is my suggestion.

[eras]

I know lots of people who fit that description!! ...Well, under certain stipulations?

[mood2wiingiing]

Then I guess you'll have a pretty big army.

[eras]

Would my army be able to take yours?

[mood2wiingiing]

Probably. I don't think I could really rally a lot of troops to be honest.

[eras]

Because you wouldn't classify a lot of people as not assholes, or because you don't think you're that charismatic?

You could always try bribery!

[mood2wiingiing]

Mostly the second, but a bit of the first too.

I don't really have a lot to bribe people with either. So I think that's out.

[eras]

Video game tips! Those are bribe-ish. If the person in question plays?

[mood2wiingiing]

I feel like most people wouldn't want those from me, they'd probably think I was trying to trick them.

[eras]

...Well, that'd be a possibility! I would probably take my chances.

[mood2wiingiing]

Well, I probably wouldn't trick you.

Unless we were playing against each other.

[eras]

Okay, if we were playing together I'd deserve anything I got that way. I mean, trusting someone you're playing against is sort of at the top of the list of "things not to do", wow.

But I'm glad I get a pass! Or a "probably", which I note isn't "definitely".

[mood2wiingiing]

Probably is close enough to definitely! [laugh]

[eras]

Up until it isn't!!! I know how this sort of thing goes!

I guess I probably wouldn't trick you, either. [ ...Admittedly not for lack of trying if she thought she could get away with it, but Aria's pretty sure he knows more than she does in this topic. ]

[mood2wiingiing]

I'd kind of like to see you try. [because he also figures she can't trick him but it would be fun]

[eras]

If that's a challenge, maybe I will. [ - "fail miserably" is the ending to that sentence, yep. ] And you'll never see it coming! Because this is the only warning you're getting. I'm not bringing it up again until it happens.

[mood2wiingiing]

Good luck. I think you'll need it.
