prank #49 | text [FILTERED AWAY FROM ROSE, DAVE & DIRK]

so...jade harley is gone again, for anybody who knew her.
which...kind of makes my original intent for this post somewhat awkward. i am kind of torn wondering if the fact that i dragged my feet with this is a good thing or if i should be kicking myself over it.
more leaning towards the latter.
anyway, that's beside the point.

point is: next month is jade harley, dave and dirk strider, and rose lalonde's birthdays.
they're on december 1st, 3rd, and 4th, respectively. with both striders being on the same day if that party wasn't clear.
since they're so close together, aradia and i were going to throw them a three day long sort-of-surprise-but-not-really party with a semi-break in the middle on the 2nd.
which we're still going to do, though obviously it might end up being a little shorter than we originally planned.

i figured it might not be a bad idea to mention that now so their friends can make travel plans if they want to stop by for a day or two.
it'll be at rose and i's house in ecruteak. if you can make it, just let aradia or i know at some point and we can give you the address/directions.
and even if you can't make it, i'm sure they would appreciate some birthday well-wishes.
somehow, i would be willing to bet that between dirk just arriving here, dave being the aloof coolkid that he is, and rose being...uh...rose, that they probably never brought up their birthdays to any of the friends they've made here.
that's all!
i hope you're all having a good day. :)

i am fully behind that
i like being able to drink things without worrying about that :o
are we going to do body searches at the door or

yeah.
i got lucky enough last year, but i was really thinking more about rose.
she's still kind of beating herself up over some stuff she did back home.
like i don't think she'll relapse and go back to drinking or anything i just don't think she would appreciate something like that happening while the wounds are fresh, so to speak.

that sounds a little overdramatic, wow.

um but i wasn't really planning on doing that, no.
i figured just telling relevant parties would be enough.
should we do body searches, you think?

oh!! i hadnt heard about that
well
she was a little headachey when you all woke up but
in that case i absolutely understand

hm
probably not
i mean its not like our friends arent pretty obliging on the whole

yeah, she doesn't talk about it much.
predictably, really.

yeah and most of them are too young anyway.
though i think i'll mention something to bro...since he is at least old enough to buy alcohol if nothing else.

well yeah i could see why she wouldnt
i will avoid bringing it up with her probably :o

how old do humans have to be for that?

depends on where you live.
in america, you have to be 21. but in a lot of other countries, it's legal at 18.
i think there are some that are even lower than that? like 16 maybe?
but i think on the majority of earth, it's 18.

i'm...not actually sure what it is here?
never really needed to know.

i guess maybe we should check at some point
ive never really bothered to try any
i guess now that i am a human
human soporifics would actually probably effect me?
at least more than they would have
ive never tried any kind of soporifics

yeah i am pretty sure they would affect you now.
if they didn't already??
who knows how that works.
we'll probably never find out at this point.
i don't blame you for skipping on them though.
i haven't tried alcohol, but gamzee did get me to try paras shrooms once.
i don't advise it.
like
at all.

it is sort of irrelevant at this juncture yes
since i am not a troll
so it can just sit on the pile of mysteries we are never going to solve
which werent that crucial to being solved anyway

why did you try something gamzee suggested you try

[ JOHN. ]

look, all i can say to that is...
gamzee can be very convincing when he wants to be.

[John makes the best life decisions.]

[ Aradia is suddenly questioning you very hard, John. 8|a ]

sometimes you worry me a little
its a good thing youre not alternian
i am pretty certain you would have also died really early on

i guess we could have been ghost friends then though!!

wow.
i am just falling down all this confidence over here, aradia.

all kidding aside though, you are probably right..
i really don't think i would be cut out for life as a troll.

well you accepted something from gamzee to eat
and i know for a fact you listened to terezi at one point
and also vriska
although strangely the last part worked out

no you would probably be very dead!!
luckily you are not a troll :)

we all make mistakes!
and i have learned from mine.
no more accepting anything even remotely edible from gamzee, be more cautious with suggestions from terezi, and as far as vriska goes: no.
just no.

yes, luckily so.
i am very happy to be human though.
for more reasons than just this.

at least there is that
if you accepted something to eat from gamzee a second time i think i would really have to be somewhat concerned!!!

okay so say you were trying to sell humanity as a concept to someone
what would those reasons be
sell it hard

never again.
i've also extended it to include drinks as well.

oh jeez are you really going to put me on the spot like that?
hmmm...
well, we have fantastic movies, for one thing. At least the humans from my world. :P
but that's kind of a silly reason.
mostly i think it's something that i can't really put into words.
something to do with the range of emotions we feel, the way we interact with others.
(i'm trying to think of how to explain it from a suitably alien point of view.)
just...yeah, we make lots of mistakes on the whole. and we're pretty weak and squishy...but we're also very strong! in a different sort of way that has nothing to do with physical capability or ruthless upbringing.

wow i'm really bad at this, i'm sorry.

tbh you might want to just expand it to include "anything"
"anything at all gamzee makara hands me"
that might be a wise life choice

yes of course im going to put you on the spot like that
also idk that anyone has proven to me about the movies
i mean
i have seen movies here
but i dont think i have seen yours

hm
you are really bad at this!
but i can kind of see a few things you are getting at
honestly i have enjoyed being human so far
although some of the details are annoying its overall fun
though the others didnt usually agree with me
theyre not as used to changing forms as i am i suppose

ok. i will update the gamzee makara clause accordingly.
always wary all the time.

well that's not really my fault is it?
like i would gladly show you human movies from earth (which are better than the ones here) but you can't exactly get them here since this...isn't earth.
and whenever the inter-dimensional portal between worlds opens up and starts spitting out objects at us at random, it never feels the need to give me any of my movies back.
which is a shame. but i guess i can't complain too much.

i told you i was bad at it, jeez! what more do you want from me, i tried.
you're talking to the wrong human here, rose is the one with a way with words, not me.
details like what?

good john

if they ever show up i will agree to watch whatever it is
perhaps you should make your own home movie though
and you could show me that
to prove the supposed superiority of human films :o

just biological differences
nothing major
just imagine if you were suddenly a troll
like if you had horns
wouldnt those be weird to get used to?

yeah but i'm not a professional actor, i hardly think that would be comparable.
it'd just be me being dumb in the backyard or something and you can see that any old time.

i thought it might be something like that but i wasn't sure if there was maybe something else.
horns would probably be a little weird to get used to though, yes.
especially if i wound up with ones like tavros, jeez how does he go through doors?
also how does he even hold his head up, for that matter?
are horns lighter than i would think they are by looking or does he just have ridiculous neck muscles?

i couldnt see that on film any old time
i think its time a sequel was made to the haunted house film anyway

theyre not lighter than you think really
but its not like they were always that big
they grew as he did
so his body musculature accommodated that growth
as to how he goes through doors
i presume carefully

i still can't believe you taped that. :|

ohhh. i see.
that probably should have been obvious, haha.
i saw an adult troll once. she had horns like kanaya but they were a lot bigger.
her ancestor, i am guessing?
she hissed at me. that was some scary shit, to be honest.
i was kind of worried she might try to kill me.
...have i told you this before?
i'm having a weird sense of deja vu but i can't honestly remember if i had this conversation with you or somebody else.
sorry if i'm repeating myself.

rose asked me to!
shes very persuasive
she said "please"

[ Apparently that is all you need to get Aradia to sell out and videotape her friends being ridiculous. If there was any needed extra incentive to start with... ]

um
you know i am not sure?
it is possible we talked about it when you got back from your memory coma
or when you were zapping around that one time
but either way i dont really mind or really remember myself
but that sounds like it could have been the dolorosa then
thats her ancestors name
