[02:38] FROSTY: *In the middle of Aradia's dream things begin to get dark and she's being visited by spirits, which is nothing unusual... however these are aliens. Beings made of gems with many faces around their heads. Voices pinging tones like bells and harps and wind chimes. All of them appear to be ghosts. Sans for one who appears as a familiar parka'd figure waving to her gleefully*

[02:41] ARADIA: -in the land of the recently dead and passing through, aradia finds something to be a bit different. in the middle of approaching a particularly vulnerable passing soul, suddenly everything seems to change. she now sees creatures she hasn't seen before, ones that seem to be made of gems with numerous faces. they remind her of wind chimes, and she's slightly unsettled, until she sees someone in the

[02:41] ARADIA: distance. frosty. she remembers frosty.- hello?

[02:53] FROSTY: *They wave to her motion a smile with their hands, approaching with light steps and waving more. A friendly covered face, opens arms gesturing to all these aliens then offers her their hand*

[02:54] ARADIA: -there are so many aliens here, but she knows they are indeed real spirits like any other. she's curious, and she isn't about to let hesitance steal away the opportunity for discovering something new. she takes frosty's hand-

[03:00] FROSTY: *Pleased they give her hand a little firm squeeze and starts to guide her up into the sky. Touching a gloved hand to their chest they nod then gesture back to the aliens, the parka and goggles and scarf peeling away to show they are like the aliens. In the sky a planet begins to appear. It's bright and glowing, large crystal structures towering into the sky. Buildings and homes but all abandoned

[03:00] FROSTY: ith the Alternian sigil posted and carved and burned into the landscape*

[03:03] ARADIA: -who knew this was frosty's true form all along? what they are showing her is incredibly beautiful and fascinating, and she finds herself in awe.- this is beautiful

[03:03] ARADIA: -notices the alternian sigil- what do they want?

[03:29] FROSTY: *Frosty continues to guide her but this time further away from the city. Into patches of delicate, shiny grass. The building on the grass is worn down, not destroyed, just in ruins. Frosty squeezes her hand again sharing glimpes of what their race could do. Powerful, but peaceful, omnikinetics. They were strong with many abilities and something that was spread throughout the whole race instead of

[03:29] FROSTY: a select few like trolls . Pulls her down deep into the ruins*

[03:32] ARADIA: -she continues to watch what this race of aliens were capable of. they were talented, born that way, and she found herself wanting to know them, wanting to know more. she goes right along with him as they descend into these ruins-

[12:23] FROSTY: *It's nice that she was interested, that she didn't have malicious intent. They pull her along for a while, the temple showing age, as it was once kept up it no longer was. Coming to a walled cavern Frosty's eyes glow, chiming a melody from their torso and an opening in the wall leads them forward*

[12:24] FROSTY: *There's a platform in the middle of a wide and tall room. On this platform sits a wooden box. Frosty finally lets go of Aradia's hand and words began to appear in the forefront of her mind. Words without a voice prompting: Would you see and re-see your endings obliterated to guide others?*

[12:33] ARADIA: -the sound emanating from frosty was beautiful. it was kind of incredible, actually. and to see that it was the key to an entrance was even more fascinating. the moment frosty lets go of her hand, as soon as she sees a sole wooden box in the middle of this vast and expansive room, there's a question in her mind. would she see and re-see her endings obliterated to guide others? something inside her

[12:33] ARADIA: knows this is a choice that matters. she contemplates, wondering what her answer would entail. the key word is to guide others, and she would do anything to assist her friends. she decides, after a moment, that it's worth it, and she carefully approaches the box to attempt to open it.-

[12:37] FROSTY: *Inside the box, wrapped in thin plant-based sheets are chunks of crystal. Jutting out and embedded in the glowing rocks are the comb and cylinder of a music box. Frosty continues to stand where they are and more words come to her mind. One word actually: Kinetics.*

[12:37] FROSTY: *Should Aradia look back Frosty is smiling with sharp, jagged edges and giving her TWO thumbs up* :D

[12:51] ARADIA: -she does look back when she remembers her kinetics, and she uses them to carefuly unwrap the crystal. she does look back and sees the two thumbs up and smiles back at them before continuing-

[12:57] FROSTY: *Once she lifts them with her kinetics and starts to toy with them something... instinctual kicks up. It guides her through plucking notes and tones. As the music plays softly Frosty is gone, the temple is gone. She's bad in the land of the dead but she knows it's not... now. It's later. A possible later. Many possibly laters. There's heat, she can feel it then ghosts being dissolved in great lig

[12:57] FROSTY: ts, the realm itself being torn apart and vaporized into nothing. The music plays softly from the crystals floating by her side slows and this is likely when she wakes with a start*

He stood.

Aradia watched him out of her window, the night sky’s stars illuminating the Alternian field she lived on. More so, it enunciated the shadow of the individual standing in her lawn ring. She was working on her journals, only a few pages in with tiny rocks glued to pages and annotations in the margins. Some were sincere notes, while others were arguing with the “notes” Sollux left. Regardless, she knew it would lead to something.

And somehow, she was compelled to look out her window, and that’s where she saw him. His horns were massive enough, curled like hers but only at the very edges. Unafraid, she ran through her hive to push through the front door and hurry to approach the man outside. No matter which way she tried to look at him, all she saw was darkness.

Just like that, his form dissipated at a rate where he was completely gone by the time she reached him.

Maybe she was just seeing things.

☤ - a memory of death/loss + ✍ - a memory of their mother (ananya)

She knows the story of when her mothers passed away, but she was alive for the death of one. Normally, she will tell you she doesn’t remember, that she was far too young. In reality, Ananya remembers. While the imagery isn’t perfect, the feelings are as strong as ever. The ache, the hole in her heart--the feeling of desiring the comfort of her seadweller mother while knowing she wouldn’t receive it. She remembers watching her mother and one of her fathers cry. She remembers how they held each other, how they held her, how she had so many unanswered questions. 

One thing is for certain: she never wants to feel like that again.

Dave 🌞Happy

Something about the way Dove smiles at him when he does absolutely nothing is contagious. With Jade working, Dave has the day off and keeps Dove with him for the day. Today is an especially great day for remaining in their room, finding fun things to do there rather than having to make either of them public-ready.

He sits on the floor with her so she has room to take those little steps around as much as she wants to. Thankfully, her pace is still incredibly slow, and he doesn’t yet need to worry about her getting too far away. At least not now.

She finds his shades on a chair and grabs them before walking over to him and handing them over. Anticipation shines in beautiful light blue eyes, and she already wears a smile. He takes them from her and gives them a look over, before donning them upside down.

They laugh for an entire five minutes.

[artifactualannihilation]

Riley☘Hopeful

She has no idea what she’s doing here, holding something so tiny in her arms, holding someone so small and fragile and wrinkly and bundled up. Sweat remains at her hairline, her exhaustion indescribable. She still feels like she’s catching her breath, but the discomfort is only white noise in this current moment. It’s overwhelming--how hard of a road it’s been to get here. Being a parent never made her short list of long term goals. She promised herself she would never put a kid through what her parents put her and her sister through.

And while she learns how to hold him correctly, she refuses to let him go. Asking for a few more minutes. For a few more minutes just to hold her son and watch him as his face scrunches up and his crying ceases. Riley and Derek have next to nothing to give their baby, but unquestioned was the knowledge that they would give him everything they could offer and more.

So many days she felt saddened and without purpose, so many moments she asked herself if she had anything to give back to the world so she would be more than useless. With her gaze fixed on Dirk right now, everything changes.Together, she and Derek created something beautiful. She contributed someone priceless and oh so special, and when she looks into her baby’s eyes, she has hope for the future.

Dave 💕 In love

He notices a change in the midst of a conversation. In the future, he won’t be able to remember who it was with. What he will remember, however, is how he tries so hard to hold back a smile when her name is brought up. He will remember the feeling of longing in his chest, the way he zones out of the conversation and feels a strange sense of peace and excitement when he remembers kissing her earlier. Dave feels incredibly silly, but this time? He doesn’t care.

[artifactualannihilation]

❌ Riley

People crowded the bar, a hole in the wall venue with cheap beer for an excellent price. Hard to beat and a good excuse to get out. After a successful performance, Riley and creepy-puppet-guy-but-not-as-creepy-as-before-now-that-they-have-been-doing-shows-together-guy, Derek, their friends-turned-managers, and their friends-turned-crew, suggested not letting this Friday night end just yet. Riley knew her only other option included staying inside a way too small room she rented in a way too crowded and way too loud house. She had the choice of staying up late in the confines of that room or spending it getting drunk, and of course, the latter won.

When he tried to talk to her, she responded curtly, sharply, feeling the need to exude the aura of completely unimpressed. They just finished their second collaborative show, but she had no intention of being real buddy-buddy with him. Eventually, he left her alone, but he remained in her line of sight when she took a seat at the bar to flag down a bartender.

While she waited for her beer, she watched as suddenly, there was a girl talking to him. She felt bad for this lady who looked a bit underaged just her, subjected to Derek’s odd comments overall bluh. Riley casually kept an eye on them, not noticing that her drink had been served right in front of her.

Whatever the topic of their conversation was, it made him smile. What a stupid expression that managed to be just a tad adorable at the same time. The other girl giggled at him, and she swore the longer she looked at them the closer they were getting. That poor girl.

That poor, naive girl.

Riley slid from her seat with the intention of sparing her all of his bullshit. When she approached the girl, she put a hand on her shoulder, and the girl turned to look at her with big eyes. Damn, was she pretty from this close. She leaned forward to talk over the music.

“Hey, I just wanted to let you know…” She paused for just a couple of seconds. “You have like, a huge hole in your skirt. It’s fucking huge. I just don’t want you to walk around like that without nobody telling you.”

Immediately, the girl gasped and nodded, thanking Riley before excusing herself from Derek and exiting the bar while attempting to discreetly cover her ass with her purse. Riley took the now unoccupied seat.

“Don’t think I’m coming over here to sit next to you. I need another drink so bad I’m willing to be tortured for it.”

And technically, she didn’t lie to the girl. She did have a huge hole in her skirt.

It surrounded both of her legs.

Ananya ♒️; Finn 👻

Ananya -- Irritated

Ananya made certain the east common room was open and available for the party she planned to host, but when she checked her prongle feed, another event was said to be taking place. Her gathering is pushed aside as if it never existed in the first place. The host name is left blank, so she can’t find whoever it is and tell them she reserved it first.

While inconvenient, Ananya decides to book the other common area, where the same listing pops up. Her fins flick, flaring out for a moment before folding back. She pulls herself together and checks the other less suitable rooms--but it seems that everything is reserved. The library, the cafeteria, the museum, even empty rooms--all reserved. She frowns at her husktop for a good long while, sighing loudly and dramatically. She rests her elbow on her desk and smushes her cheek against her hand. She gives this mysterious host the nastiest face she can muster, despite him not being able to see her.

Frustration is exhausting, and she falls asleep on her desk until she gets a message from an anonymous handle, instructing her to go to the atrium. She takes her time, passive aggressively letting this mysterious person know she’s not happy with how things turned out tonight.

But when she reaches the atrium, she doesn’t expect what she sees: entirely decorated on every level. Music begins playing from speakers, and there’s food everywhere.

Her party was beaten out by a party celebrating Ananya’s party prowess.

Wow.

Aradia 👻; Dave 🌞; Riley ☕; Rajani 🏝

There are few things that truly frighten her, this situation revealing one of them inside her mind. She can’t find Ananya anywhere, having left her in the room for only a few minutes while she showered. Ananya slept soundly when she entered the ablution block, but when she came out, the tiny troll was nowhere to be found. She couldn’t have gone far, and yet even Aradia becomes scared sometimes, imagining situations in which Ananya was suffering or stuck somewhere. She keeps her calm as she roams the hallways, appearing positive and determined and letting that presence overpower her fears.

They soon diminished when Aradia found Ananya at the door of Dirk, Jake, and Sollux, tapping her little claws on the door and flashing a smile Aradia’s way.

Aradia - Confused 

She pours over her archaeology books, comparing notes upon notes upon notes. Why would a tool for sharpening used in a distinct other planet appear here? Her research leads her to understand that this very tool, buried deep within the ground, has been there since before the invention of interplanetary travel. It doesn’t make sense. This brand of confusion, the kind that leaves her mind stirring for days, the kind that makes her toss and turn during the night with ideas--this is what she loves the most. Confusion signifies the unknown. The unknown represents the fact that the universe they live in is constantly greater, still. Mysteries will always be present. When she finds the answer, it will only lead her deeper, to another mystery, to a feeling of confusion she craves. And the cycle repeats.

(I will be posting in a cycle of sorts, so the others will be answered later in new posts :))
