It had been ages since Lorelei cared enough to get off of her couch.  People would come and go and she didn’t have a care in the universe.  The goat god is pretty sure the whole place was a mess of books that needed to be put up and dusting and...thinking about the effort she would have to put in just made her less likely to get up.

However, she seemed to have the tiniest bit of energy today.  “I forgot what the sun looks like.”

Sliding off the couch, she made her way to one of the windows and slightly pulled the curtain to the side, letting the smallest amount of light into the building.

“I hate it.”  Curtain closed again.  That’s all the energy she has.  Back to her couch for another 5 months.

“Of course! That’s brilliant! As expected from such a great writer like yourself!” Any other moment Ian could’ve easily picked on all those small details that pointed at such obvious crush. But he’ll do that another day, when he isn’t too hook up on his reading.

Though something does cross his mind, like a light bulb suddenly lighting up. “Say Lorelei, since I know it must be hard to pick on all those small details when proof reading yourself, maybe I could help you beta read them!” Even if its not paid work, he’d love being able to help his favorite author. That and he is terrible at waiting for her new releases.

Lorelei’s face was completely red as she was praised more for her writing.  This wasn’t an every day occurrence for her.  There were a few people who worshiped her regularly but that was just because she was in charge of the island...this was praise for something she actually did and enjoyed doing.

Which was saying a lot considering her laziness.

She tried to calm down enough to keep a conversation going, though small goatlike noises kept escaping.  “A beta reader...”  She could make this work...she thinks.

“If you’re serious about that...”  For a second Lorelei paused.  Wait, she really could make this work.  “You’ll have to promise to not talk of the book until it’s released, and the errors have to stay a secret between us.  Not sure how much I can pay you, but I can probably put you on a priority list for a few wishes at the shrines if you like...”

That’s really how far she’s willing to go for this.  A promise of effort in exchange for making sure she could keep doing what she liked without fear of her secrets getting out.

“They do and we clean up after them every time.” It really was weird that she wasn’t the cause of someone else’s problem this time around. At least that is what it seemed for a bit. “It’s a little drama action – don’t we enjoy those?” She asked as she placed a small pat on Lorelei’s back.

“Hmm.. Not as bad as others.” She responded before taking a step back. “Big bird thought it was a good idea to have a orb– it worked.. I’ll give him that.. buuut.. the little robot managed to break in and.. Things went great from there.” At least she was not the one who got nagged on by Kano this time.

“Come on.. I’m sure Ferro would love to get a bunch of robot bats dropped off at his penthouse.” Keahi said with a small, singing tone as she headed out the door. 

A small laugh escaped as Keahi tried to cheer her up.  She was right, it was just a little drama.  Though in the long run, she was the one that liked to cause the residents drama, not having drama thrust upon herself.

Lorelei could handle this, she supposed.  Even if it didn’t feel like it all the time, she had the other goats’ support.  They all had their flaws and hers just happened to be lazy hibernation.  (Kano’s was probably worse.  Sitting at the bottom of the ocean making out with fish and hoping his dad jokes/pick up lines worked on them...I mean what)  “I hope they at least got a good punishment I can watch now that I’m awake.”

'Big Bird’ got another giggle from the earthen goddess.  She was imagining the giant yellow bird from the children’s cartoons but on fire like a phoenix.  Active imagination comes with the writing she does.

She was following Keahi now, the thought of being depressed gone as fast as it came on.  Whatever.  She was going to spend time with Keahi this was the best (late) Christmas present ever.

[slackingearth]

watchinitburn:

There we go. That was the answer Keahi was expecting. The earth goat happily agreeing to help clean the mess on Keanu. Walking away from the bed she went to open the curtains to her room.

“Sheesh. How did you manage to sleep through all of this?” Crates, burnt marks and buildings that were barely standing. This certainly was a whole lot more worse than what had happened on Makana.

“Did you even notice that this mess spread to the other islands?”

The goat god of earth bit her lip and looked away as Keahi asked how she slept through all of this.  “I don’t know.  I was tired.”

She’s always tired, so that was really no excuse.  It was the only one she could provide however as she joined Keahi at the window looking out at the destruction.

“I slept through it all.  Didn’t notice anything happening here.”  Some god she was.  Her silence was probably a sign of how deep she was thinking.  Her mind going between how to fix this to if it was even worth it to fix.  

“They’ll just do it again.  They keep proving that.”  A rare moment of complete seriousness from Lorelei as her thoughts manifested themselves as words.  She should have been awake and stopping this from happening.  From spreading.  Even if she were awake, would she have found the energy to even bother trying?  “How bad was Makana hurt?”

[slackingearth]

watchinitburn:

By the time Keahi had finished cleaning up the mess on her island and made her way over to help out her follow goat, it was no surprise that she had found her peacefully sleeping through it all.

“ Of course..” Tugging at one end of the mattress, she pulled it hard enough to send the petite goatess rolling.

“Get out of bed. We got work to do.”

Roll out of bed she did, knocking her head on the floor pretty hard.  Keahi was here?  Oh this must be a dream.  Keahi wouldn’t come here to see her.  

Her heart raced for a moment or two as she stared at the other god standing in her bedroom.  However a few seconds later, fully waking up from her sleep and possible head injury, she realized that Keahi wasn’t here to wisk her away to live happily ever after.  She said work.  Goat dang it.

But it was Keahi, probably the only person who could get Lorelei to willingly put effort forth towards things.  So with a groan, Lorelei made her way to her feet and sulked like a child who isn’t getting her way.  “Fiiiiiine.”

[slackingearth]

Guess who had been sleeping all week.  That’s right.  This god.

Crawling out of her bed, getting dressed, and making her way downstairs into her bookstore was a chore, but she did it.  However it took a few minutes for her to realize that the windows were busted and one of the walls had a hole in it.

Destruction had been caused, but Keanu was her responsibility and her responsibility only....so it hadn’t been completely fixed from the robo-bat invasion that started here.  An invasion Lorelei slept through...

“...”  She’s going back to bed.

Ah yes.. Valentine’s Day. With its start and end, there was a marvellous set of deals of items that were to be purchased, and a personal favourite; chocolate sales. There was no reason to judge anyone who would be looking into the discount sections, money was hard to achieve, and the minute it was given, it’d be gone from their hands.

He perked up at the person who was speaking, bending down himself to see what they had in the bucket. Of course, laughing before he responded with a generic smile.

“Something about Endorphin that releases stress, and Serotonin influence your mood, I suppose.” all he knew is that it tasted wonderful.

“Endorphins...Serotonin...”

For someone that spends all of their time writing weird fanfictions and reading books, you would think Lorelei would know the answers to the questions that popped into her head.  Mostly the question of if she had such biological functions as a god or if stuff like that was pulled away with her immortality.  She made a note to look into a biology book, since this would be good knowledge to have for future reference.

Lorelei popped a piece of chocolate in her mouth.  “It tastes good, but thinking of it like this, it’s like a medicine in disguise.”

Ian might be living on Haku now, but that doesn’t mean Ian is stopping his daily visit to Keanu’s bookstore and have a look at his favorite section. Ever since he found the first one on accident he’s been hooked on them. It wasn’t until after he regained his memories that he realized who were the characters in them and who the writer actually was. Did that stop him from reading them? Nope, actually the opposite.

He can tell whenever Lorelei walks by thanks to her trademark reaction which by now Ian just took as her way to say hello to him. He waves at her with a big smile before getting back to his reading.

“I know I should keep quiet and all but can I just say, I’m loving this saga even more than the previous one. That keahi x Reader fic was amazing too!! Though at some points she calls you ‘Lorelei’ instead of reader. Still good though”

at some points she calls you ‘Lorelei’ instead of reader.

“It’s just a placeholder!”  Lorelei’s defense was instantaneous.  As much as the goat god liked that someone liked her writing, why did it have to be this?  One day she’d get a beta reader she could trust to catch those errors but for right now...she couldn’t admit to anyone her love for Keahi.  “You know, since it’s the reader I try to put myself in the reader’s shoes when I first write it!"

Her voice had devolved into nervous laughter as she wondered if anyone else caught those errors.  Did everyone on the islands know she was completely in love with one of the other gods?  It couldn’t be obvious, right?  It’s not like her island didn’t have a giant Keahi shrine hidden on it...nope.  “I’ll fix that in the next version...”

[slackingearth]

As much as she hated it, Lorelei needed to keep people on this island.  In order to do that, she needed to have happy residents.  In order to have happy residents she would have to....ugh...work.

Not that she wasn’t going to find the laziest way to do this.  She had made up little ‘satisfaction surveys’ to pass around.  Of course she wasn’t just in the middle of the street asking for opinions.  Nope.  Lorelei was laid out on one of the cafe tables with her head hanging upside down just waving the papers she made in the general direction of passerby.  

...this wasn’t going to work...

[slackingearth]

@viderxanima

Certainly by now everyone knew who she was and what she really did.  The goat god continued to live her quiet life inside her bookstore, and it’s only when others brought it up did she mention she was one of the island gods.

With the knowledge that everyone knew, or could easily find out, who she was, she didn’t really hide much.  In fact, every time someone went near a certain section of the bookstore, she would make embarrassed bleating noises.

It was that strange non-human noise that got the attention of the few people who were in the store.  Why did so many people end up looking at those books?  Get out of the fanfiction section, Ian.  She needs to rearrange and put that section in the basement with the history books...

[slackingearth]

@thetruthinlies

Valentines day was over, and that meant that it was time for discount chocolate.  It normally wasn’t Lorelei’s go-to for sweets since it always seemed to get on her fingers and dirty her books, but tis the season and thus, that’s where she is...or atleast, that’s where she has decided to take her most recent rest.

In the discount chocolate bin.  Being a god had it’s perks.  Not many people were staring at her.  Lorelei didn’t even care if people stared.

“This stuff is supposed to mess with you chemically, right?  Make you happy or something?”  She’s going through Keahi withdrawal.  

[slackingearth]

Starters?

((In my attempt to be more active, I’ve decided to do a starter call sort of deal.  Like this post for a starter from Lorelei.  If you want Kite or Bubbles, send me a message and I’ll put them on the to do list too.  Sidebloggers can just message me too.  I’ll probably get to them Thursday and/or Friday if I get any.  Prompts will likely be randomly pulled from generators so prepare yourself for sucky starters.

I’d add Yu to the list but his muse has decided he is once again king of the cats and refuses to acknowledge he needs to leave and make friends...

Also I finished replaying KH3D and am tempted to bring Riku back...plz stop me I don’t need more muses))

“Good.  I didn’t want that hug anyways.”

@slackingearth from here!

      Some guy had slapped his Aunt Lorelei during the ceremony when Cupid hatched? Well, at least he has an easy answer for her..

[Text: Aunt Lorelei]

[txt]: Easy. [txt]: If you can’t/won’t/don’t want to kill him, do the next best thing: [txt]: Castrate him.

      Though, that might take too much effort…

[txt]: Or, just punch him. [txt]: Either one would work, I think.

[text:] Killing is off the table.  The others wouldn’t be happy with me for disrupting what peace we’ve finally got.

[text:] Going to keep castration in mind next time I see him, but punching does sound easier.

[slackingearth]

Send “BEEP” for a random text from my muse

SEND “BEEP” FOR A RANDOM TEXT FROM MY MUSE.

[text:] So back during Cupid’s hatching, I had a guy slap me.  What’s the best way to get revenge?

[slackingearth]

( From the space questions: Andromeda, Asteroid, Wormhole, Gemini & Libra~ )

Andromeda: Do you consider yourself social?

Lorelei doesn’t consider herself social.  She’s probably the least social of the goats.  She can put on a social front, but she’s actually kinda shy.  She would much rather keep to herself at the bookstore than go to any events.

Asteroid: What does your dream life look like?

Settled down with Keahi and their kids as one happy family.  She would much rather be in the clouds watching over the islands forever, but aside from that she wants a life like she is currently leaving, but where she’s in charge of less people.  It’s always nice to have worshipers, but the residents have potential to be dangerous and ruin her island, and they may want things.  Granting wishes takes effort and she’s not the type to want to put forth effort.

Wormhole: What’s something you wish would happen, but know won’t?

Getting Keahi’s attention.

Seeing Keahi win a popularity contest

Keahi’s happiness

Gemini: Favorite song?

You know those '1 hour of relaxing music’ compilations on Youtube?  You’ll find those playing lightly in the background most of the time at the bookstore.  She doesn’t really have a favorite since music isn’t really her thing.

Libra: Favourite colour?

She likes earthy colors, but red reminds her of Keahi.  So her favorite color leans towards a rusty red.

She might get her revenge one day, but...effort...
