[Luckily (?) for Ami, John already knows this thanks to a certain Strider. But you know what let's just avoid talking about it.]

i would say that being an alien would be pretty sweet, but i have never been one so i actually do not know!
but if it gets you weird space-pets then maybe it is an ok thing to be.

people feel attachments to the things that are delivered through the mail and stuff, aren't they?
if she was your pet or companion or whatever in your old life then that would explain.
even if you don't remember here, do you think maybe she remembers you?

[livingdeadgirl]

[avoiding talking about it is obviously the best strategy and one that everyone should use forever

only wait no, the opposite of that.]

yeah she definitely does
i remembered a little bit just by talking about her actually
she is something called a lusus
and i guess she is sort of like a pet but also like a mom somehow?

[windeity]

a lusus?
how do you figure that she is both pet and parent?
i mean some pets are very overprotective so i can sort of see it but there is still a pretty big difference.

[livingdeadgirl]

im not sure how it works exactly
i think its like...
her lusus was the closest thing to a parent aradia had

[windeity]

[The colored font is a tip-off, too.]

that is both kind of sweet and kind of sad.
i mean because parents are important, usually. but your lusus seems like it looks you a lot if it keeps following you.
is it weird? knowing that aradia was an alien who had a pet ram-thing?

[livingdeadgirl]

[someday everyone will use colored font and then it will no longer be a weird thing to do!!!!]

... yeah
its incredibly weird actually
the more i learn about her the less i know

[windeity]

what else do you know about her? i mean is that a weird question to ask?

[livingdeadgirl]

no its not that weird
id be curious too :p

lets see
i know that she was a troll
so she had gray skin
and her horns looked not unlike her lusus's actually
only hers were orange
she lived on the trollplanet with her lusus
way out in the country in a gray house with a windmill on top
but at some point the house was destroyed?

she and her friends played a game together
the exact nature of which is unclear to me still
but her title in that game was "maid of time"

she may also have been a fairy and/or a robot

[Ami you forgot to fill out the Personality section entirely, app rejected!]

[windeity]

that is a lot of information to suddenly have out of nowhere.
it sort of sounds all fairytale-like, especially if you were maybe a fairy-bot maid of time?
what does being a maid of time even mean? you have to clean up after time messes?
horns sound like they would hurt though.

way different than any of the stuff i've remembered. it is actually really fascinating.

[livingdeadgirl]

well in fairness it wasnt all at once
this is just the summary ive cobbled together from bits and pieces over the course of months
and i dont think the horns hurt they were just sort of there

[there's a long-ish pause.]

and
yeah
i think that may be exactly what a maid of time does
its a matter of housekeeping

[windeity]

that is a better summary than i could have put together, i'll give you that.
and if the horns were a part of you, ok, maybe they wouldn't hurt. hard to say.

...housekeeping?
time sounds like a dangerous thing to mess with.
i have no idea how somebody could even keep up with that.

[livingdeadgirl]

i dont either
dave could probably tell you though
he remembers more than i do

[more importantly though...]

hey um
she actually knew you i think!
aradia that is

[windeity]

[Ah fuck, busted.]

oh yeah?
what makes you say that?
also i guess i will ask dave if i am curious, sure.

[livingdeadgirl]

because you were in my vision just now!
you were wearing these blue pajamas with a crazy long hood
and we were in a cave
and there was also a troll wearing two eye patches for some reason
do you remember??

[windeity]

huh. i do not, but if you are sure it was me then i bet i will soon!
any idea why we were in a cave though? or why i was wearing pajamas...?
