open, catch-all for december (spring)

🎮WHO: Lucia and you
🎮WHAT: Bonus effects, other things
🎮WHEN: Through Spring
🎮WHERE: Throughout the island
🎮WARNINGS: n/a, will add as needed. Plotting is here

a rainy day - 10th

[ Today is supposed to be nice and sunny, and it is on most places throughout the island. Everywhere except the area immediately above Lucia, apparently. Wherever she walks, rain clouds follow up above, and there's a light drizzle that sprinkles down towards her. She doesn't have an umbrella. She just seems to be zoned out, walking to her destination: The library.

She's also trying to look at who's in the area, so as to not get them caught up in the drizzling. She'll make an attempt to swerve out of the way of anyone who's passing by, which looks rather odd. Hm. ]

a teenager - 11th

[ There's a girl, somewhere between 15 and 16 years old, with long red hair roaming around. There are two people who currently fit this description, but the glasses give her away – this is not Diluc, this is Lucia. She's currently sitting under a tree in the shade, somewhere near town, pressing buttons on her phone. There's a disgruntled look on her face. Seems like she can't get something to work.

She ends up looking pretty huffy before she shoves her phone back into her pocket. Then, she rises to her feet and starts speed walking towards the shops. Where is she going...? ]

farming - throughout the month

[ Anyone who's passing by the Lucia-Gentaro forest farm may catch her outside at any given point during the day. She's getting to work on her farm, and there appears to be a small assortment of mushrooms growing! How nice. There's also a small patch of flowers that are also in the process of growing. Seems like things are going decently.

There's also a little calico cat that's roaming around outside, circling around Lucia at times. The cat will let out a little "meow" if she spots a visitor, and trot up to the newcomer. This will alert Lucia, and she'll turn to whoever's at her farm and stand up rather quickly. ]

Hello... Do you need something?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Okay, okay. I...I'll look forward to it, then.

[ Oops, she's a little embarrassed.

But she pauses in place for a moment, and then does what she did on their first date - she goes in for another hug. ]

Thanks. Seriously.

[ He laughs, gently patting her back. ]

Yeah, yeah. No need to thank me.

[ It's the least he could do! ]

So, should we have dinner first and decide on dessert later?

Of course.

[ She'll pull back and sit in her seat. She grins at him before she starts eating her own meal, not bothering to comment on how good or not good it is. She will look at him for feedback, though. ]

[ Yeah, he can feel her eyes on him, which means... ]

It's good, just like always.

Good! I'm very glad!

[ She's relieved, and it shows all over her face. She tries some herself, and...yeah, it's certainly not bad. ]

I wish we made it together. Maybe next time...

There's still dessert, right?

[ He smiles, leaning his elbow on the table. ]

Besides, we have plenty of time to make other things together too.

Heh, that's true.

[ She grins back at him...and leans in to surprise him with a little kiss on his cheek. ]

I look forward to it. It seems like it'll be fun.

[ Oh!

He looks very, very pleased with that little surprised. ]

It will be, I'll make sure of it. You'll never have a bad time while we're together.

You say that like I don't feel that way already.

[ Because she's enjoyed pretty much every date they've gone on. She eats more of her pasta, and after a few moments, she speaks up again. ]

I was thinking...we can try a round of "would you rather"? I played it with someone else, but I think it'd be good here, too.

Sure!

[ It's one of his squares, but he doesn't really care much about that. He eats some of his own food, contemplating a question. ]

How about... would you rather eat only lasagna for the rest of your life, or never eat it again?

...Never eat it again.

[ Gasp. What a hot take. ]

Would you rather live in the woods, or the mountains?

The mountains. I like skiing, and you can't do that in the woods.

[ Not easily. ]

City or the countryside?

Skiing? I've never tried that before. What do you like about it?

[ Which isn't part of the game, she's just curious. ]

As for your question, um...countryside, as long as there's internet. ... Hugs or kisses?

I like the rush of going down a hill, and the skill it takes not to fall over.

[ It's a delicate sort of balance.

He pauses before answering that question, doing his best to keep a sheepish look from overtaking his smile. ]

Kisses. Flowers or chocolates?

[ She had a feeling he'd pick that. ]

Um...chocolates, I think? But both are nice. What about you?

Flowers. They last longer, so I prefer them.

[ He's not a huge sweets guy either, though. ]

Sunrise or sunsets?

Sunsets.

[ She may have said sunrises before, but after experiencing one with Kas, she's grown to prefer the sun setting over the horizon. ]

Um...singing or dancing?

Dancing. I'm a lot better at that than I am singing.

[ Even though he'd never say he's a bad singer. ]

Idol concert or orchestra concert?

Idol concert. It might've been the other way around before, but...you know.

[ She turns a little pink at her admission. ]

Love at first sight, or loving someone overtime?

[ He can't help but laugh as he leans forward in his chair. ]

Loving someone over time. I think getting to know everything about someone before you fully commit to them is more romantic than falling in love the first time you see them. What about you?

No, I agree. I've definitely...been the type to experience love at first sight, and it never worked out.

[ For a number of reasons, most of which are her own inability to act on her feelings, so this is certainly a new experience for her. ]

I don't think I ever gave love a lot of thought until here, though. I think I know what it means to like someone, but loving is a little...different, don't you think?

Yeah, I think so. I've never been in love, but... loving someone is a lot deeper, and requires a high level of commitment. You need to be ready to drop everything if they need you.

[ Though maybe he places too much importance on the feelings, given his own situation back home. He doesn't know for sure. ]

[ Mm... ]

When you put it that way...perhaps I'm more ready for it than I thought...

[ But, potentially, not for the right reasons. Yes, she would drop everything for the person she loves, but it's for better or worse.

Not that she's ready to address that. Her expression looks a little pensive as she mulls things over, then she asks, completely innocuously: ]

You haven't decided yet, have you? I don't mean it to place pressure on you. There's just something I'd like to tell you.

[ He raises his eyebrows. ]

I've been giving it a lot of thought, but not yet.

[ Not fully. He would have told her immediately otherwise. ]

But you can go ahead and tell me.

[ She smiles at him, sincerely and genuinely. ]

I put a lot into tonight, but not entirely because I'm trying to impress you so you'd pick me. That might be part of it, because I...yes, I like you, but...

[ She looks at her hands in her lap, still smiling fondly. ]

More than that, I think I'm more invested in seeing you be happy over picking me specifically, so I just want to make that clear. I'd still go the extra mile to make sure you're having a good time hanging out with me, even if we end up just being friends.

[ And she hasn't really felt this way about anyone else, other than her best friend. ]

So...thank you, for being so honest and kind to me all this time. I really appreciate it.
