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.

That's something to look forward to, then! For a given value of look forward to. I might even be a little jealous! I don't suppose robots get family.

[mood2wiingiing]

Well they might, who even knows? Robots are weird I think so maybe they do have robo-families.

[eras]

I'll put it on my Christmas wishlist. "Robo-family". Although that would be skipping ahead a few holidays, including my favorite.

[mood2wiingiing]

Which one's your favorite?

[eras]

[ She grins immediately. ]

Halloween! How does anyone dislike the holiday where you get candy? And get to dress up ridiculously? And the holiday with Halloween Specials, which are always great.

[mood2wiingiing]

Aren't we getting a little old for Halloween?

[eras]

I refuse to get too old for Halloween. I can still dress up and hand out candy, even if there isn't some sort of party. ...I hold out hope there is some sort of party, but that will do for a back-up plan!

[mood2wiingiing]

You should just have your own party if no one else does.

[eras]

Unfortunately a small apartment is not really a party zone, haha. Or I would!! Maybe someday I'll live in a house and can throw a party.

[mood2wiingiing]

Oh. Probably not, yeah. I dunno there's got to be some sort of party going on right? Or at least a haunted house or something, if you're into that kind of thing.

[eras]

Oh my gosh do you think there'll be a haunted house??????

[ she's apparently into that kind of thing. ]

[mood2wiingiing]

[he's actually a bit surprised by how enthusiastic she is but then he just laughs and grins]

I'm sure there's one somewhere in the city, right? I mean people love doing that kind of thing. We just have to find it.

[eras]

[ ADVENTURE!!! is cool in any form, Soren. ]

So you'll go to a haunted house with me if we find one, or are you just offering to help look? Do you think there could be actual ghosts there?? I mean, with everything else, actual ghosts wouldn't be weird, right?

[mood2wiingiing]

I don't mind going to one with you. I wouldn't count on actual ghosts though, even with how everything else is.

[eras]

Well. I can always hope. That would be pretty interesting, wouldn't it?? But you're probably right.

[ AND THEN SHE PAUSES before going on because wow their waitress needs their orders and stuff okay.

...though that interlude will cause her to frown. ]

...Okay, I was sure I was going to ask something else.

[ what was it ]

[mood2wiingiing]

[oh right restaurant things are probably a thing that should happen for sure. he kinda snickers at her though once the waitress is gone and she says that]

You forgot? Maybe something about Halloween?

[eras]

[ only if they want to eat, which could be cool! Aria pouts. ]

Well, maybe!! I guess I still haven't fully committed to a costume? But I don't think you'd have an opinion on that.

[mood2wiingiing]

Um. No, not really. Unless you like, wanna tell me what you're thinking about maybe?

[eras]

I strongly suspect you might laugh at me! ...So it's a good thing I don't really care. Okay, well. Indiana Jones is a possibility but I sort of have done that a lot?? So I've sort of been debating something else, I'm just not sure...what. Maybe I should write down things on pieces of paper, throw them in a hat, and pick one.

Or pick three and combine them somehow.

[mood2wiingiing]

You should definitely do that, be some sort of mixed up thing. It would be hilarious. Just go to your costume stash or whatever you have and pick out random things.

[eras]

I could be zombie octopus Indiana Jones, that would be different.

[ AND RIDICULOUS. It's a lucky thing she likes ridiculous. ]

And you would be Soren, because you're booooring. [ Aria leans her chin on one hand, laughing. ]

[mood2wiingiing]

[he laughs at that] Hey, I'm the best Soren around, okay.

But I dunno, I would dress up I guess. If I had an idea and something to do.

[eras]

You're the only Soren I know!

[ OH-HO. Dressing up? ] Be a video game character!! Or a combo character. Or something! You could be a tetris L-block, that would be fun, right?

[ #things that aren't serious suggestions ]

[mood2wiingiing]

I feel like that might be hard to move in. [kind of hilarious though]

[eras]

Orrrrrrrr you could be video games' biggest troll.

I will give you exactly three guesses as to who that is.
