One RP Channel: cute. Ice cream talk and sweet persona level up.

Another RP Channel: Actually very sad and tense.

Me: Dawn's the piñata.

Eve: I wouldn't even touch him with a 10ft pole.

Dawn: Oh, Evening. A 10ft pole isn't fucking long enough.

Lena vc: M-My cats--???

When the writing inspiration finally hits the minute you close your eyes.

♫ I will fall in love with you over and over again~ I don't care how, where, or when. No matter how long it's been, you're mine! ♫

"She's been singing all month. Is Dina in love?"

"I mean... Firstly, Ayla, who? And secondly, Spring is coming. She's may be feeling the season?"

(this is something lavender would do but works for friendship too, for lena) Gently placing a hand on their lower back, guiding them through a crowded room.

Flirtatious Platonic Prompts

Adelena wasn't foreign to large crowds; she was practically raised in them. From the small village ceremonies she led in her youth, to the festivals and rites from the Oracle's Temples after the war... Crowds and people were just part of her job. Still, that doesn't always mean that there weren't times she felt overwhelmed in them. So much noise mingling together always triggered a primal tick in her brain that brought her back to the front lines, and that constant push and pull of dipping into memory and back to the present was giving her a migraine...

With a sigh, Lena held her hand together and gave them both a squeeze. Before she could even excuse herself from the loud, pompous conversation, she felt a hand fit in the small of her back to gently guide he away from the group. Violet eyes upturned to find Lavender at her side and small grin of gratitude spread on her face.

"Thank you, I was afraid I'd have to listen to them ramble about proper temple etiquette for then next hour..." Lena chuckled softy, her gaze fixing itself to focus on navigating through the sea of people before they passed by a bread stall.

"Care for a roll? The chocohazelnut is my favourite."

also this works for kamui regarding his destiny for nadine "So many people look up to me, I can't let them down."

PR Team Go?

Nadine walked around the library with scrolls and books cradled in her arms. Lately, this was how she was usually seen: quietly humming with some sort of library artefact in her possession. Despite her busy outlook, however, she always made time for her friends.

As she listened to Kamui speak, she made mental note of what to comment on... But his last statement was what seemed to get to her to slow down. Nadine set away the large tome in one of the shelves before walking over to Kamui. She hoisted herself to sit on the empty space atop the desk so she could face him.

"With great power comes great responsibility. But for your sake, I hope you understand that your road doesn't need to be traveled alone," Nadine gently pokes his forehead, her smile accompanying her words, "You have allies. And I will always remain in your corner if you think you have none."

since noct is a prince for lena (noct what did you do???) "It's too late. I'm front page news."

PR Team Go?

Lena stared at Noctis with a blank expression. What did he mean he was front page news?? She certainly hasn't heard of anything regrading the palace as of late. Regardless of that fact, however, what the hell did he do? Was this the public being dramatic over something small? Like Noctis maybe photographed in a bad angle? But the way he said the news, how that it's too late that he's already front page news...

The woman's hands shook lightly as she reached out to gently grab the prince's shoulders, then she gave him a light back and forth.

"On my day off you tell me this?! What the hell happened? AND WHAT THE FLYING FUCK DO YOU MEAN TOO LATE?!" Of course, Lena understood the implication. She just didn't understand why now did anyone come to her about it.

[stxrrbright]

Lena VC: This Teyvat is different from mine, as it's different from Arawyn's. Khaenri'ah here is in ruins, both of our homelands don't exist, Wyn's entire lineage is gone, the Gods are alive, and Sumeru isn't underwater. Seelies exists, which is crazy because what are angels and what court are they in? The legends here aren't recorded in my world... And... I did mention that the Archons may be alive? Wyn can't know about that. She'll lose it.

[stxrrbright]

"Tomorrow? That's too soon... Right?" Nadine thought as she hummed in response. She didn't doubt the prowess of the Melodians, of course, she was just worried how well DeRogna would adapt under all the stress with a timed surprise attack. Besides, she was sure that news of the bases being taken would have already reached her ears... Wouldn't she already expect a rush towards her location??

The woman sighed as she continued to write in her tome. If anything, she could hear out the plans and voice her concerns when they arise.

As for Edea, she was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed since they weren't planning to move out quite yet. At Tahirah's question, she thought of her asterisks, as well as the ones brought here by the rest of her friends.

"Hm... I have the Templar, Knight and Valkyrie asterisks," Edea answers, "And at our disposal, with everyone else here: I know Oddette has her Gunslinger asterisk and the Shadow Walker. And James has his Beast Tamer and the Necromancer asterisk."

Lena nods, "I have the Divine Oracle and Siren asterisk, um, Nadine would have the freelancer one. She hasn't really acquired one, but her Scribe Mage abilities should be more than enough... Why? What's your plan, Countess?"

[stxrrbright]

Lena do you think it's strange that so many shape shifting cats seem to find you?

"Not at all! I don't have any complaints. I like their company, and I know Saiph does too."

[stxrrbright]

Kamui for Nadine "I can't tell you the last time I actually felt safe."

Safe and Sound

Nadine chuckles softly as she puts down the tray of tea and treats on the table in front of them. She fixes her skirts to sit down comfortably on the sofa while Ayla was busy napping on the big chair next to them.

The weight of Kamui's words finally hitting Nadine to have this warmth spread from inside her chest. Was it presumptuous of her to feel that it was her that allowed Kamui to finally feel safe after how ever long its been? Maybe. But still... Even if she could provide just a little bit of comfort or a little bit of respite for those she cares about... She'll take it as a win.

"Well, as I've said many time before, Kamui-san, you're always safe with me. I won't let anything bad happen to you just so long as I'm around."

[stxrrbright]

Lavender for Lena "You got this, I believe in you!"

Platonic Fluff

Nothing made sense. No matter how long Lena looked at the ingredients on the table to match it to the recipe in her grimoire... Her head just couldn't wrap around the idea o this potion!

Was she tired?? She was sure to go to bed at a decent hour. Could she have the wrong recipe?? HOW? She made this one! Perhaps, it's a stroke? No no no no no no no.

Lena dug the heels of her palms into her eyes before dragging her hands down to wipe her face. Even with Lavender's vote of confidence, Lena couldn't help but feel like she's at square one.

"Thanks, Lav. That definitely makes one of us here!!"

[stxrrbright]

As they all continued the conversation, both Edea and Lena simply listened to get a better view of all the possibilities they have set before them. Unfortunately, everything was still too soon in their journey to really see any sort of solution. All of it really boils down to Mara DeRogna: where she possibly could be, as well as her plans to strike Melodia. If they find her... Will they be ready to jump and stop her at any time, or will they have enough time to dismantle her plans from the inside before she carries anything out?? Will they even be able to find her in time before then??

"Too many variables..." the women thought to themselves as they sighed. And this was only for the Melodian side of this predicament... Edea was still worried about the whole thing at Al-Khampis with DeRosa's student. Quinn had a point... And Edea knew how much shared ambition can take a group of people...

Seeing that this conversation hit a wall for the women, Lena gently gestured Nadine and Edea towards the door, "Wel... All we can do is wait for everyone to come back so we can compare our notes. We won't have a clear picture until we uncover a bit more pieces."

[stxrrbright]

Lavender for Lena "can you stand? do you need me to help?"

After the Battle

They did it?? They won?? No... This fight was far from over... Their enemy just made a tactical retreat, but whatever swayed them to pull back was a blessing for them. They needed to regroup after this.

Lena huffed, holding her side as she watched the soldiers around her cheer for the privilege of seeing another day. Hearing their happy shouts of praises to the Highest Holy made it difficult to not feel nor share in their joy. She, in all intensive purposes, was very glad that the fight was finally over... For now.

"Hm?" Lea looked over to her friend, who was making her way towards her. She quickly waved her hand to show she was fine.

"M'fine... The pain is starting to subside. Check on the others in your squad. I'm okay."

[stxrrbright]

Can I get a hi from Ayla?

"Hi..."
