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.

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.

[mood2wiingiing]

Maybe you should just tell me.

[eras]

Not a fan of guessing games?

[mood2wiingiing]

They're okay but. Not really. Sorry.

[eras]

Okay, well. Have you ever played Duck Hunt? ...It's really old but I figure you'd know it.

[mood2wiingiing]

...Are you suggesting I dress up like the dog?

[eras]

...A dog who laughs at and mocks people, yes!

[mood2wiingiing]

He is a pretty awesome dog.

I'm just not sure I wanna dress up like an animal.

[eras]

Okay, so give me more stipulations here. Why no animals? Are inanimate objects okay?

[mood2wiingiing]

I don't know, just nothing where people are going to always remember me as the weirdo in the whatever costume.

And something I can buy.

[eras]

So nothing too dorky? You could just wear a suit and be a man in black, I guess.

...Is that dorky. I'm not sure how to think non-dorkily.

[mood2wiingiing]

Dorky is okay. Creepy or too dorky or weird isn't okay.

[eras]

So the duck-dog was too dorky? I stand by man in black for you know, sunglasses and ease of actual costuming.

Ummm. Let's see. [ Racking her brain, here. She would suggest Jedi if they still existed in universe, BUT ALAS. ] Maybe you should be Indiana Jones, at this point. Or some other iconic character!!

[mood2wiingiing]

I don't want anyone thinking I'm a furry, is more why.

I dunno, those other choices would be fine? Hm... Maybe I'll think about it. Text you some time when I have some ideas you can help with or something. I don't even know if anything's going on where I need a costume, anyway.

[eras]

If you are one, it'd be news to me. And we talk a lot? So I might have caught on if you were. Unless it's a deep, dark secret.

And okay, sure, it's a deal! And you never know, someone might throw some sort of party. Maybe!!
