[The video switches on to show Aradia at the entrance to the frog temple. Of course, last anyone saw Aradia she wasn't dressed all in red and didn't have wings but then she's also been nowhere to be found for the past week. She gazes around, memories slowly filtering back to her, and when she speaks her voice has lost the hollowness it's always

Hero of time, huh.

Sup.

[megid0_maiden]

[Aradia giggles when she sees the orange, winged Dave]

Yep. Guess it must be a thing we do to self-prototype.

[sunslam]

[Kind of a surprise to get a Hero of Time to laugh, so he goes with it. Almost a smile right then, but you can't blame him -- she sure seems sorta lively.]

So, hero of time, how's the tiers treating you?

[megid0_maiden]

[Well, when this is the most alive a girl has felt...you can fill in the rest]

Pretty good. A lot of waiting, right now, so I suppose being here isn't so much of a big deal right now.

Surprised to see a sprite here, though.

[windheir]

[WOAH]

A..Aradia? Oh, wow!! You're God Tier now, right?

You look really neat! And it's been a week since I last heard from you.

[he figured she had gone home too and, since no one else came back.. well he's almost tempted to say 'welcome back' but they're trying to find a way back into the game, not the other way around. still.]

[megid0_maiden]

Yes, that's right, John.

A week, hmm? That's not long at all, relatively speaking. Have you been well?

[windheir]

Thought as much! You have the fairy wings, which are part of troll God Tier, least from what .. [oh :( ] Vriska told me.

Heheh I guess not, happened before so. Yeah, I've been good! A lot of people left back to the game it seems though.

[megid0_maiden]

Hmm, yes. They are a little like Vriska's now I think about it.

[Wait]

Left? You mean permanently? Oh John, I'm sorry. Who's gone?

[consultmybooks]

...Aradia? What's, um, what's happened?

[megid0_maiden]

Mr Giles! I'm glad you're still here.

As for what happened, well...it's a long story. I guess you could say I caught up with the other trolls, timeline wise, and now I'm the Maid of Time. And God Tier - hence the wings.

Re: video

[consultmybooks]

They're...um, th-they're quite nice wings.

Sorry, um, I'm...not sure I understand the rest. You're a, um, you're a god, now?

[megid0_maiden]

[She smiles]

It's okay. I'm not sure I fully understand it myself. I guess it's something like a secret extra level that you can only get a certain way. And it means I can only die if it counts as heroic or just.

[halfclock]

A Hero of Time? [relevant to her interests......]

[megid0_maiden]

Yes, that's right. Maid of Time, actually.

[Hmm...she doesn't remember you]

We haven't spoken before, have we? I'm Aradia.

[halfclock]

We haven't. Homura Akemi.

You have time manipulation abilities, then.

[megid0_maiden]

Hello, Homura. Have you just recently arrived?

Yes, to a point, although I'm not sure how they'll work out around here.

[ultimarecipe]

Oh--I've never seen you before.

[ buut... ]

You're a troll too, aren't you?

video;

[megid0_maiden]

Yes, that's right. I didn't look quite like this before...but I don't remember that we've spoken before.

I'm Aradia.

[ultimarecipe]

Heh, I could tell by your horns! I don't think I've seen other people with them.

I'm Sora. [ nod! ] Nice meeting you, Aradia!

How long's it been since you were here?

video;

[megid0_maiden]

It's nice to meet you too, Sora. Are you friends with some of the others?

Well, that's a complicated question. I first arrived here five months ago, but I recently returned to my own world. For me, months passed; here I've been told it was only a week.
