Karkat: Be in love with the ghost girl.
(I owe a debt to yoo-michi for this one. Also this was a commish for tricksterroxylalonde.)
"y0u're a mutant? s0 what?"
You'll never forget the time those words appeared on your husktop's screen. You were in a deep blue funk- or should you say, a deep, candy-red funk- over your blood color, as usual, and somehow, you had wound up spilling out your soul to Aradia's computer. You'd heard she was dead; figured it was safe to chat her up because of it.
You had never been more wrong.
"ARADIA? YOU'RE NOT DEAD?! JUST FORGET I SAID THAT, OKAY?"
"it's n0t a big deal."
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL?"
"l00k, we're b0th different fr0m every0ne else. it d0esn't mean y0u're not a g00d person."
"…REALLY?"
"really. i mean… y0u're a freak, i'm a gh0st… we can be weird0s t0gether."
"ARADIA… THANKS."
"y0u're welc0me. i w0n't tell any0ne. pr0mise. 0u0"
You think that was the precise moment you started falling in love with Aradia Megido.
