Aranea Serket. Housing: District Epsilon; Apartment b-5. Weapon: set of eight-sided dice. Can fly for up to thirty minutes a day. Affiliated with Citta-Alveare.

The smile remains on her face, sincere and glad. Despite the strange situation that has placed you here, you’re happy that you’ve gotten to meet up with her and see her smiling like this. 

ARANEA: That certainly does seem to 8e the case doesn’t it?

ARANEA: Still, it doesn’t seem to 8e too horri8le a place, and I suppose I’m glad they give us homes at all, even if they’re in radioactive slums. And I suppose it’s nice that they give out rewards and rankings for particip8ing in the experiment. 

ARANEA: On another note, where were you headed? I h8 to hold you up, 8ut we can walk together if that’s alright with you. 

ARANEA: If you’re not 8usy perhaps you wouldn’t mind showing me around? I’m still not used to the layout of this place. 

[arachno-phile]

You have to admit that it feels good, knowing more than your ancestor. She’s always been smart, the kind of person who knows everything. And she enjoys sharing that fact at every opportunity. This kind of thinking is petty, though, and you’re trying (read: trying) not to be the same petty person you used to be. You place one hand on your hip and flip your hair over one shoulder.

VRISKA: I can definitely show you around! Seriously, I know this place inside and out. Aren’t you glad you have me?

VRISKA: I’m kind of an expert, and I’m not doing anything special today, so I guess you’re in luck. Anywhere you want to explore first? 

[classicflavortwerket]

You let out a light laugh when Vriska flips her hair despite a feeble attempt to restrain it, and push your glasses up against the bridge of your nose.

ARANEA: I am very glad to have you, especially seeing as you have much more experience with this labyrinth of a city than I.

ARANEA: How a8out you show me your favorite spots first. 8ut I would like to see the li8rary as well. I don't know where anything is, so I'll simply follow you're lead.

[classicflavortwerket]

  You really are quite concerned with your dancesestor’s living situation. After all, living it up with a bunch of nuclear waste can’t have been healthy. Not in the least. Nuclear waste is radioactive, and radiation can cause physical harm.

ARANEA: That does sound very unpleasant. I can’t 8eleive they’d make people live in such conditions, that seems cruel, and very unsanitary.

ARANEA: I’m glad that you will 8e in a 8etter living situ8ion. I’m upset that they made you, or anyone at all, live in such a dangerous place.

You are, however, glad that Vriska has made a name for herself and is getting out of, it seems, the worst of the radioactive slums. You’re also glad that she seems pleased, of course she’d be pleased with leveling up, but it’s still nice to see the wide grin spread across her face.

 ARANEA: Again, congratul8ions on your near level up! It’s very exciting news. 

[arachno-phile]

You continue to smile at Aranea’s encouragement. She seems genuinely happy for you, and it’s nice. Her stories can be too long, her tone too pedantic, her hubris too intolerable, but she’s your dancestor, and you can’t keep blaming her for something she didn’t even do. Especially since the reason it bothers you so much is that it reminds you of the worst parts of you. 

VRISKA: Yeeeeeeeeah, the scientists don’t really care a8out our well-8eing. It’s an experiment, and they want to see how we’ll respond.

VRISKA: And, uh, thanks. It’s pretty cool, isn’t it?

✺

You watched in horror as the young human across the street walked directly into a lamppost. You'd tried to warn him, but he was too engrossed in whatever was playing through his headphones. There had been an awfully loud thunk as he connected with the metal pole and you figure you should probably make sure he's alright. You help him to his feet and give him a once over.

ARANEA: "I think you'll be fine, there's no 8lood." 

ARANEA: "Just 8e careful to watch where you're walking from now on, those lampposts can sneak up on you."

A young human girl you've never met slips a flower into your hair, and you almost don't notice because you're staring at her long pink curls wondering how she keeps them so neat. You do notice though, and you smile at her. 

ARANEA: "How sweet, thank you so much, it's 8eautiful."

[classicflavortwerket]

You've never met this strange, skeletal man so you're surprised when he delicately tucks a flower behind your ear.

This… woman? Could Nonon call her that? Anyways, this woman seemed to enjoy talking. To be honest, the human found Aranea’s babbling about her race pretty interesting, though, she thought with a small smile, Inumuta would enjoy this alien even more. She realized that she missed her data-obsessed friend, though if she ever met up with him in this place, there was no way she was admitting that. 

Okay. This wasn’t the time to be thinking about absent teammates. Nonon was on her own. Aranea was ostensibly non-threatening, though her wide smiles could simply be a ruse. She also seemed to appreciate knowledge, a skill which could be beneficial. 

"Troll, eh? Where I’m from, that has a different meaning." Nonon shrugged. "I’m Nonon Jakuzure, but you can call me Jakuzure-san. I’m from Earth, in case you couldn’t tell." She twirled her baton before pointing it in the direction of the train station. "That’s the way to the train, since you said you didn’t know where it was. Speaking of which, I can’t really help you get to wherever you need to go unless you give me an address or something, Troll-Woman."

[classicflavortwerket]

You're a little put off by the "Troll-Woman" address she gave you, particularly after you had provided your name, but you ignore it, deciding that securing directions probably doesn't include trying to teach the young human manners. Directions are important, and you were just going to try to get back to your apartment, but maybe you'll go exploring today instead. Jazakure-san knew where the train station was, and that opened up a huge possibility of exploration options.

You can't make up your mind though, in part because exploring by ones lonesome can be very dull and tedious.

ARANEA: I assume you're referring to the 'Internet Troll'? While our race is not necessarily equivocal with that term, some of us could also 8e referred to 8y it.

ARANEA: Which way are you headed? I don't want to make you go out of your way. May8e we could go somewhere together. It's more fun to travel in pairs anyway. And if you just give me directions I'm 8ound to get lost along the way anyways.

You go ahead and say it, even though you have a feeling that Miss Bubblegum will say no.

[mewmewmage-blog]

  [ You take Aranea to a cafe and order a whole platter of sweets and sandwiches. It’s a little more than you can afford, honestly, but you don’t care. You were so short on friends before you came here, and now that you’re surrounded by people who care about you, who want to be around you, you can’t help spoiling them. You beam at Aranea. ] 

(=^･^=) < SO, WHAT’S NEW WITH YOU??? HAVE YOU MET ANY INTERESTING PEOPLE SINCE COMING HERE??? 

[ You take a long, slow sip of tea. ]

(=^･ｪ･^=) <  I’VE MET A LOT OF REALLY STRANGE AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE HERE. A LOT OF THEM ARE HUMAN, AND A LOT OF THEM ARE JUST SOMETHING ELSE!!! IT’S KIND OF INCREDIBLE, THIS PLACE. AS MUCH AS I HATED IT WHEN I FURST GOT HERE, IT’S REALLY GROWN ON ME. ALTHOUGH…

(=ｘェｘ=) < I DO MISS KURLOZ.

[classicflavortwerket]

The cafe she's taken you to is really very cute, and the sweet smells are enticing, particularly to your hungry stomach. Meulin sweetly orders enough for both of you and you smile gratefully at her. You begin to nibble at one of the sandwich's when she asks if you've met anyone. You sigh quietly and put the sandwich down, 

ARANEA: Well, I suppose I've met a few. Sean, who Vriska tells me is Terezi's Moirail here, was the first person I made contact with. Mostly I've only come into contact with fellow trolls, such as yourself. There seem to be a wide variety of people form a wide variety of places here in this strange city. I'm still not quite used to it all to 8e honest. 

ARANEA: I did come across an interesting human with pink hair. She seems friendly enough, though may8e a little rude. Her name is Nonon Jazakure, have you met her? 

You pick up the sandwich again and try to think of a way to respond to Meulin's last comment. You can relate to missing people. Meenah's grinning face comes to mind as you consider what to say.

ARANEA: I miss Meenah........8ut I'm glad that I was a8le to find you and Vriska here. It's really nice getting to spend time with everyone in this quaint town. Sure it's a little scary here, unfamiliar and full of strange people, 8ut I think it's starting to grow on me. If we weren't here I would never have had the chance to go to this cafe with you though, so it really can't 8e that 8ad a place, right?

✮ - sleeping habits

She keeps a regulated sleep schedule to insure that she gets enough sleep and wakes up around the same time. (She read about good sleep habits somewhere and tries to stick to them in order to maintain an alert and aware self while she's awake.) Before sleeping she reviews her day, and plans out what she will do the the upcoming day. If she's having a hard time falling asleep she'll find a book to curl up with until she's tired.

You’re a little surprised at the flurry of activities being thrown at you, not only because of the quantity, but because of her obvious insistence. You laugh a little, aware that Meulin will continue to produce new ideas until you agree to one of them. You’re glad that she wants to spend time with you, and her company is very pleasant, so there’s no doubt in your mind that you’re going to join her. The only problem now is picking from the options she’s given you.

ARANEA: Well, those all sound like quite a lot of fun! I would love to join you for any, if not all, of the a8ove. ::::) 

You stand, smiling, reviewing the choices before deciding that doing something to ebb the hunger that’s been lurking in your stomach might be best.

ARANEA: Though, I think I’d prefer something that was food rel8ed. I haven’t eaten yet today. 

[mewmewmage-blog]

[ You clap a paw to your mouth. Of course, Aranea needs food. You were so caught up in the excitement of seeing her again that you hadn’t once stopped to consider her discomfort! How purrfectly rude of you. ] 

(=˙•˙=) < I KNOW A FEW NICE PLACES!!!! IF YOU WANT, WE CAN GO GET LUNCH AND COFF33, AND THEN DECIDE WHERE TO GO FURROM THERE!!! 

[ You begin to lead the way without stopping to ask for Aranea’s approval; a few paces down the way, however, you pause, giving Aranea a soppy, adoring smile. ] 

(=^•^=) < ARANEA, I’M SO GLAD WE’RE DOING THIS!!! I F33L LIKE WE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO BECOME GREAT FURRENDS WHILE WE WERE ALIVE!!! THIS REALLY F33LS LIKE MAKING UP FUR LOST TIME.

[classicflavortwerket]

You can’t help but smile as Meulin begins to lead the way, and you follow her upbeat pace. You nearly bump into her when she stops to face you, putting on a smile that you might classify as adorable. You blush a little at her remark about becoming friends, and respond eagerly to the comment.

ARANEA: I’m excited to get to spend some time with you too! We never had an opportunity to really get to know one another, and I find that I regret that a little. I'm glad we're doing this!

You are honestly really excited to spend time with her, and are glad that she feels the same way. Her enthusiasm sure is contagious.

[classicflavortwerket]

ARANEA: I’ve run into a few very nice, helpful people myself. I’m glad to hear that you’re doing alright and have met some nice people yourself-you’ll have to introduce me to some of them. 

ARANEA: I talked to Meenah 8riefly, quite some time ago, 8ut haven’t heard from her since……..

ARANEA: It’s so sweet of you to be concerned, 8ut I’m really used to 8eing on my own, even if it’s strange to 8e in such a huge city like this 8y myself. Still it’s nice to have some company. 

[mewmewmage-blog]

[ It makes you sad to hear Aranea hasn’t heard from Meenah in so long. The two of them were practically inseparable in the dream bubbles! It just isn’t right, being so close to the people you love most, without being able to reach out and touch them. You know this from personal experience. ] 

( >’.’< ) < WELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW???? LET’S GO GET COFF33 OR SNACKS OR SOMETHING!!! I KNOW A PLACE THAT MAKES WONDERFUL DONUTS, IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN SUCH THINGS???? MAYBE WE CAN EVEN GO SHOPPING!!! OOOOOH, OR WE COULD EVEN… 

[ You’re going to keep rattling off possibilities until she forcible shuts you up. You hope she knows that. ]

Nonon had seen different lifeforms here in Hive City, and she supposed that their existence wasn’t completely inexplicable due to the nature of the experiment. There were supposed to be individuals from many different universes here. Still, her experiences with different lifeforms hadn’t exactly been positive, and as a petite girl in a sea of strangers, she had to be prudent. She wasn’t eager to approach any of the non-humans, at least not while she was alone and still relatively unfamiliar with this place.

So, when an alien with grey skin, fangs, and candy corn-colored horns caught her eye with a smile, she was tempted to walk away. But this… person? seemed surprisingly polite. Her accent was a little difficult to understand, but perhaps she had certain abilities which would make her a decent ally. The girl cautiously remained where she was.

"We’re in Sector 5 right now. If you want, I can tell you where you need to go, but you’d have to tell me what you are, first."

[classicflavortwerket]

Alright, perhaps she’s not quite as friendly as her bubblegum hair made her out to be, but at least she didn't walk away or blow you off, she even told you that you’re still in sector five. And she’s willing to tell you more if you give her information. Better yet, it’s information you can deliver without a thought. You smile even wider and shift your weight, then you’re off.

ARANEA: It’s good to know I haven’t wandered out of section 5, though I suppose that would be difficult to have done so mindlessly as it presuma8ly takes getting on a train to move 8etween the districts. I haven’t actually come across this train myself though, so don’t take my word for it.

ARANEA: I’d appreci8 directions, and I’m always happy to answer a question, given, of course, that I can provide a decent answer.

ARANEA: My name, though you didn't ask, is Aranea Serket, and I am part of an alien race referred to as trolls. The troll race hails from the planet currently known as Alternia, and has many physical trademarks that can be used to identify them including: grey skin, sharp teeth, and a variety of differently shaped horns.

You point to your own horns to emphasis the point, smile still on your face.

ARANEA: Due to the proximity of our planet to its sun, and the sun’s wretched heat, the troll race is also nocturnal, which is the main reason for our grey colored skin. We don’t tan very well.

You chuckle softly to yourself after that last comment, and decide to give miss bubblegum a chance to process the information you've given her. 

[classicflavortwerket]

Searching for Inform8ion @ anotherencore

You've been here in Hive City for awhile, and yet it seems like you've gotten absolutely nowhere: you still continue to find yourself lost in this labyrinth of a city, and can't seem to find your way anywhere. You also haven't learned anything new about the experiment going on, or the true purpose behind your kidnapping. You're not ready to give in yet though, it will take a lot more than getting lost to stop your quest for knowledge. 

You're walking along an unknown street, having gotten yourself lost yet again, when you notice a small pink haired girl. She looks human, and not totally unfriendly. You look again at your surroundings, and hope that she has a better idea of where this place is, because you're going to ask her for directions. You've found that asking for directions seems to be the best way to get information around here. You learn both where you are, and how to get to the places you need to be, as well as little tidbits about the people here and the new lives they lead in this city. 

You approach her with a smile, looking her in the eye despite your height difference. You've gotten her attention, so you go ahead with the plan. 

ARANEA: Excuse me, 8ut I seem to have gotten myself lost. Would you happen to know where we are?

You hope she's as friendly as she looks, though it may just be the bubblegum pink hair that's given you that impression.
