Who: Any of Sollux's friends who saw the invitation.
Where: Private room at a local restaurant.
When: 2/22, early evening.
What: Birthday party/dinner thing, because Aradia was serious about it.
Rating: PG or PG13, SOME OF THE GUESTS HAVE LANGUAGE WARNINGS (Sollux and Karkat).

[ It's a party slash dinner thing! The room is decorated with red and blue streamers and such, and there are party hats for anyone who wants them (if you don't want them, you can probably get away with not having them). It's a pretty simple layout, really. There is also a cake (...and a mini cake for Karkat Vantas, for Reasons having to do with slight bribery and promises) and various other sweets around, so there's that. When the cake is served there will be a mandatory birthday song singing, sorry Sollux.

There aren't any real surprises here, it is literally just a birthday dinner with decorations. ENJOY, and feel free to start any thread you like for mingling. ]

They're supposed to learn from us.

To be fair, they didn't know we existed until Karkat and the others started trolling them! For our humans.

Those kids didn't, sure. But just have a gander around the human Internet one of these days. They took a lot of stuff from us, and called it 'ancient'!

[ ...Sollux you know she doesn't spend her time on the human internet, she's too busy with her pokemon and human dance parties and work and the gear network! ]

Wait, really? Like what?

Like... okay. You know how people here have a horoscope based off of Pokémon?

Earth had one too. With its own mythology for each sign and everything.

Take a guess what the symbols of the twelve signs are.

Ours?

[ That's not even a guess. This is the sort of time shenanigans things-always-having-been-one-way (except not) that she's used to. ]

Uh-huh.

[ She's probably a little too callous about this sort of time thing, because that still doesn't bother her at all. ]

So...you mind that there are humans with our signs who don't know what they mean? [ Orrrrr what? ]

No, I mean that there were people on ancient Earth who obviously knew that we existed, and could see our mistakes, and yet humanity ended up being just as stupid as we were on a whole!

Christ, Aradia, get with the program.

I wouldn't say they knew we existed as such! We're just constellations there, aren't we?

...Besides, I'm sure they're making lots of mistakes we didn't make, too!

Which, in a way, is almost worse.

Is it really? It gives you something to complain about, so isn't that a good thing?

[ because you like that or something? what ]

I...

[ .... ]

I don't even know how to respond to that.

Hmm? So am I wrong, then? But I don't think you're actually in a bad mood right now.

I'm always in a bad mood, AA.

No, you're always a grump. There's a difference! You can't tell me you're not happy when you win a badge or code something, or even just when you're arguing with Karkat or someone and say something that lets you "win".

...You're so ridiculously competitive, haha.

It's the most twisted, unhealthy kind of "happy" one can achieve, though.

Not arguing on the competitive.

I don't mind. As long as you're happy, I'm happy!

[ And even when you're not happy she's probably still happy look being alive is great. ]

It's okay not to be happy in the same way other people are, you know. If that weren't the case, I'd probably be at least as badly off!

[For that, Aradia gets a hard stare. It's really not okay to be happy in a different way than other people are. Because you know what happens when you do that? You're sick in the pan. You're Sollux-tier sick in the pan.]

I have two emotions, AA. Anger and despair.

[ The hard stare doesn't really work on her, as such. She frowns for a second, but then shrugs with a smile. ]

Now you're being overdramatic! So are you saying you've never felt anything but those two things here or at home, ever?

Because I don't think that's true. You have fun with me in "normal" ways, too, you know. That counts as an emotion, you dork.

Yes, and they're all relatives of anger.

[Sollux. Honey, just... stop.]

[ ...pffffffft. Laughing is probably not the best reaction here, but. ]

So our friendship and everything else is a relative of anger? If you say so, I guess I won't argue the point!

Calm down, you can be as misanthropic as you want! Do you want me to make you a crown of misanthropy? Will that make you feel better?

Crown of misanthropy. Yes.

I think we can swing it, since it's your birthday. ...Hm, modify some more party hats?

Party hats are the most non-misanthropic things that have ever existed. We need something better.
