Today I’m reading.

07/01/10- "Be the other other girl.” (/homestuck/2132) to 07/02/10 - "Aradia: Get bugged by AG.” (/homestuck/2144)"

Select this thingy to read my commentary

A few times we’ve cut to a girl who seems to have strong psychic powers destroying the frog ruins. We now get to meet her. Her name is Aradia Megido, she mentions she had interests such as Archeology. But, but she no longer remembers any of that. She says her current calling is to destroy the mystic ruins she found because she's bored. Like Sollux she hears the voices of the dead and they guide her. She’s always been able to hear these since an accident involving a kind of role playing caused an accident. This accident also killed her lusus. Instead of building her own home she’d apparently been living in the ruins. This is also where she had also discovered the game. Knowing this game would destroy her civilization she gave it to Sollux to adapt and play. She’s named the game SGRUB (like SBURB). She got him to get 12 players for the game including herself. He believes he’s the leader of the blue team but she says that isn't the case.

Her modus is a Ouji Board she can only gets items if the spirits will it. In this case she's given the Bing CrosbyTop used by Spades Slick. She says she had found it during an archaeological dig. She has no idea who the person is but she finds its mobility practical.

grimAuxiliatrix [GA] is pestering her. GA has genuine concern for Aradia. She mentions that today is the day that Aradia wanted to doom everyone. GA tried to remind her that she doesn't actually need to follow the will of the voices in her head. But, this doesn't seem to work. Aradia and GA will be on separate teams but GA offers to help should Aradia need her. It seems Aradia's transfixed by whatever will is controlling her and ignoring GA.

Aradia checks in on Sollux in a conversation we’d read before. The one in which she informs him of the ploy and he tries to abort the game. She’d then go visit his home. Or at least the roof of it where his Lusus is chained up. Sollux’s Lusus isn't a threat to her as she uses her powers to hold the creature in the air above her. She holds the creature while she responds to some chats on the cosbytop.

arachnidsGrip [AG] pesters Aradia. AG seems to know everything Aradia is doing. She asks if she has hatched her plan against Sollux yet. Aradia is working on that. AG also mentions that the plan is that she and Aradia would co-lead the blue team. AG mentions that she had a present for Aradia that she will find later. Aradia has no reaction to this. AG wants a “team” name for the pair of them. Apparently they had some kind of beef in the past and have only recently begun collaborating. Aradia seems to tolerate this arrangement but doesn't actually seem to like AG. AG just seems to talk considerably more than she listens.


Till tomorrow, be as weird as you want to be and keep riding the pumpkin tide.
