Do you bite your nails?
“I don’t, but I guess that is a thing people do huh?”
Lyric looked down at his hands--he never really paid much attention to his fingernails, unless something was stuck underneath them.
“That sounds like it would hurt! I wonder why people do that? As a replacement for a nail clipper, or something?”
57: Do you believe in true love?
“True love?”
It was certainly an idea Lyric wanted to believe in--he didn’t see why not. Why else would couples stay together? It seemed too sad to think that true love couldn’t be achieved.
“It’s not like I have much experience...”
Until recently, anyway. There was Dorothy, his girlfriend (even if he could still hardly believe he had found himself a relationship.) And the feelings he had for her were definitely stronger than any affection he’d felt before, there was no doubt about it that what he felt for Dorothy was--
Oh, shit.
I love her.

Friends? || Lyric & Jamie
Lyric froze up for a moment, blinking. Shit, maybe he had the wrong guy. He was about to apologize, but the quick exit put another assumption entirely into Lyric’s mind.
“Awww, don’t be shy!” He called after Jamie, thinking maybe he had been too startling with his sudden approach. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to say hello, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
Jamie blinked, his eye twitching as the blonde boy called out Don’t be shy! ‘Don’t be shy!’ He thought in a mocking tone of the blonde-haired ball of overjoyed walking disaster in his head. ….Shy? Not… the word for that Jamie personally would use for it, but okay. ‘Go Away’ would be a much better term. But f that meant he would leave him alone, so be it. Sure, he was shy now. Completely just terrified of interaction. However, at the ‘meant to scare you’, Jamie growled a bit. Shy and scared? Who the hell did this guy think he was?!
Jamie swiveled around, looking less than pleased.
“Ya callin’ me a coward, Mister Sunshine?” He growled, looking up to guy in front of him. He sure did know how to make assumptions, that was for sure! He placed a hand on his hip, pouting and staring at him icily.
“!” Lyric all but became a human exclamation point, stepping back and putting his arms in front of himself in defense. That was a turn around he was not expecting, “I’m sorry!! I didn’t mean it like that!!”
Really, he should’ve seen an outburst coming when the other boy stopped in his tracks and tensed up. Lyric wasn’t completely unaware of his own rashness, and started mentally kicking himself for his temporary lack of basic social skills.
“I heard you were friends with...with someone important to me, so I guess I just got kinda excited...heh.” He laughed nervously.
Birthday Baes || Lyric & Dorothy
Like the softie he was, Lyric had been counting down the days until Dorothy’s birthday–she had mentioned wanting to go ice skating, and this time of winter was perfect for that. It wasn’t hard to find a couple pairs of ice skates in stock, so Lyric had taken the liberty of getting he and Dorothy matching green ones.
Along with a wrapped birthday gift, Lyric brought the skates with him as he headed to Arcadia, taking care to arrive at the time he had promised Dorothy.
Which, of course, meant he got there too early.
Oops, should I knock on the door now? What if she’s not ready yet? I did get here early, will it seem weird that I’m already here? Nah, Dorothy’s too sweet to ever judge but I don’t wanna seem overeager or anything—
And then the door opened.
“O-Oh! Happy birthday!”
Dorothy had thought she heard someone outside of her house and gone over to investigate when she caught a glimpse of a familiar face outside the door. She felt her face flush with warmth as she hurried to the door, not wanting to leave him outside with his arms bogged down like that. She hadn’t been expecting him yet, but she had been ready for some time. Truthfully, she had been pacing back and forth from the living room to the bathroom, continually checking to see if she looked okay. It was hard to look “cute” when one was going to be wearing so many layers.
Really, it was a shame she hadn’t had a chance to get advice from Emily the day before. When she’d tried earlier that morning, she found her friend already had left for work.
“L-Lyric! Th-Thank you! I uhm – Did you w-want to c-come inside? O-Or should we uhm…. Leave right away?”
She was still getting used to the whole girlfriend thing and she couldn’t help but feel shy and a bit insecure, worried she was going to say or do something wrong. Dates were something she had no real experience with and she really hoped she didn’t mess up somehow.
“Oh! Um...I guess I could step inside for a bit? So I can give you your present?” Lyric hoped he wasn’t imposing; maybe Dorothy wanted to leave right away? But it would be a little inconvenient for both of them if they had to carry a present around the whole time.
“I brought ice skates too! I kinda had to guess on the size though, I hope they’ll fit.” He shuffled a bit awkwardly inside, being very careful when setting the items down. “You look adorable, by the way! I mean, you look adorable everyday, but, em...”
First Impressions || Lyric & Carter
Having a girlfriend left Lyric in a daze a good 50% of the time, particularly when he had just seen Dorothy. This meant that Lyric had a big dopey grin on his face whenever he was leaving Arcadia.
He honestly didn’t care about the strange looks he was getting, and barely processed the polite smiles he got in return. All that mattered to him in those moments was daydreaming about a certain green-haired angel.
Little did he know that this would not be a good day to make a strange first impression.

Friends? || Lyric & Jamie
Lyric had been in a complete daze since the Moon Viewing holiday, and everything in his life had turned into a complete blur–unless it had to do with Dorothy.
So when he happened to overhear a conversation in which one of the people involved was referred to as ‘Jamie,’ which Lyric recognized as the name of one of Dorothy’s friends.
Taking off after the other man, Lyric waved energetically. “Hey!” Before stopping in front of him, flashing a bright smile. “Jamie, right? Dorothy’s friend?”
Jamie had been talking to someone not important, but for the sake of business, had to communicate with. He huffed as he walked away, exhausted from minimal human interaction.
His eyes darted in surprise to a man who had quickly approached him. His blonde hair was practically the color of the sun and he squinted. Did he know this guy? Who just waltzed up to people like that?
“Wha-?” He muttered, stunned for a moment as he looked up at the man. “U-uh….n-no. Not me.” He answered quickly, and began walking away a little faster. He did not want to deal with this right now. Dorothy? Dorothy who? And who the hell was Jamie? Did he mean the Great Harvest Demigod Jamie?…..N-no, he wasn’t that guy.
Lyric froze up for a moment, blinking. Shit, maybe he had the wrong guy. He was about to apologize, but the quick exit put another assumption entirely into Lyric’s mind.
“Awww, don’t be shy!” He called after Jamie, thinking maybe he had been too startling with his sudden approach. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to say hello, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
Ever since the Moon Viewing festival, Lyric had started introducing Dorothy to manga, so it was only natural the two would do a couples cosplay for the upcoming event.
Couple...Lyric still couldn’t believe it. He was dating the cutest girl in existence, and everyone was about to see them together. It was real.

Wild Things }♡{ Lyric&Lumina
sunshine-sunsets:
A blur of white had just run past Lyric before he heard a voice calling out, identifying the blur as a cat. Either that, or there were a lot of fluffy white things in this area.
“I think I just did–unless it was a bunny, but I feel like that’s unlikely.” The suddenness of the conversation surprised Lyric, and it took him a moment to realize the girl’s distress. “Hey, don’t worry, she couldn’t have gone far.” He began to scan the area for nearby trees, of which there were many.
Lyric nodded, “Sure! We’ll find the lil guy…err, girl.” He looked down towards the grass below, noticing a track of smoothed-out grass where the white fluff had dashed by. Following closely, he stopped just short of hitting his head against a tree trunk, quickly glancing up into the leaves and spotting a cat fitting the girl’s description.
“This the one you’re looking for?” Lyric asked with a smile, pointing up the tree.
His willingness to help a complete stranger suddenly gave Lumina a new reason to tear up. She hadn’t expected him to drop what he was doing but she found it very noble that he had. The stranger had a calming nature and looking at him, she felt in her core that things really would be okay. Relaxing a bit she nodded and tried not to let her worst fears get the worst of her, “…You’re right, she’s probably close by.”
Trailing behind him absentmindedly as he walked she noted the way the sunlight was shining through his hair and how much it reminded her of a certain blonde. A feeling of homesickness struck her and memories of summers before flashed in her head. Speaking of heads, the poor dear almost hit his head and if she had been any taller she would have had the same fate.
Lumina ran up to the tree to get a better angle and peeked up to spy her precious Angel, stuck in a tree, and her tiny claws gripping onto either side of the branch. She let out the meow of a cat who knew fully well that they had bit off more than they could chew. Lumina, relieved, covered her face and cried happily, “Yes! That’s her! Thank you!”
“Hold on just a second, then!” Without hesitation, Lyric climbed up the tree, reaching his arms out towards the cat. “Here, kitty kitty...”
It took a moment of persuading the white fur-ball, but soon enough the little cat trusted Lyric enough to jump down into his arms, and he took extra care to be especially cautious while climbing back down--as to not injure the little cat.
Finally hitting the ground, he reached out to give the girl her cat back. “Here she is!”

And again, congrats to Sam the Harvest Goddess!
Lyric the Sunshine Prince also danced with his roomie Alice during the festival :o
It appears this love triangle might be more of a square, Pelago Islanders!
Just in : The Sunshine Prince who seems to be connected with Saint D is also living with another woman?! And a photo was snapped of him dancing with her, too.
[Insert photo of Lyric and Alice from the Harvest Festival]
My my. What are you going to do, Saint D? Does this mean Saint J might have a chance after all?!
I do love hearing your gossip so much! Please do continue to share with me, dear readers.
XOXO Gossip Girl
Just as Dorothy was about to send a text out to Lyric, she felt her phone vibrate and as soon as she saw the name Gossip Girl in her e-mail, her eyes widened and her heart felt like it had stopped.
Looking over the article frantically, she felt a sense of unease spread through her. Lyric hadn’t mentioned that his roommate was a woman, but… That didn’t have to mean anything, right? After all, Lest was living with her, and they were just friends….
What was this person writing all this for anyway? She frowned, staring at her phone for a moment before deciding to text Lyric after all.
That first gossip girl post was one thing--just who was Saint J supposed to be? Either way, Lyric tried to not make assumptions so quickly. If Dorothy already had someone she liked, that’s just how it was, and it wasn’t like she liked him back anyway...although that article made him think twice about that thought.
The next post up, however, sent Lyric into a panic. This ‘Gossip Girl’ was just targeting Dorothy! While it was pretty obvious that the person behind the blog was merely trying to stir up drama, he didn’t want the girl he liked thinking he was taken, much less by the person who just threatened to close a landmark of Arcadia’s.
He didn’t know Alice very well yet, but she had always been nice to Lyric and even supported him during the Harvest Goddess competition. He didn’t want to believe she was a bad person, but...everything about that announcement had been shady. There had to be a reasonable explanation, right...?
Shaking away the thought for now, Lyric pulled out his phone before he could think twice, rapidly sending a text to Dorothy.
[To: Dorothy and Fern]: i’m not going out with alice!! she's just my roommate!! i don't like her in that way, i like you!!
Lyric’s thumb hovered over the send button for a moment before he froze, quickly deleting those last few words. Dorothy was probably distressed enough already; it would be selfish of him to add on to that by blurting out his feelings now.
[To: Dorothy and Fern]: are you ok?

Ingredients || Lyric & Oracle
@sunshine-sunsets
“Moondrop, snake skin, lavender, dandelions…”
Oracle repeated the needed list of ingredients aloud as she walked through the high grasses of the area. She was working on a new potion and after many, many trials, she finally found the recipe that offered the desired results. It was too bad, however, that it took her through her whole supply of the needed ingredients to get it right. But that was expected. The potion was thought up only moments after waking up this morning and without putting much thought behind it, she started mixing.
“Moondrop, snake sk– Aiiiyyeee!”
A hand lifted over her heart.
“Who said you can stand around here?! You surprised me! And you’re in my way.”
Did witches actually exist?!
Sure, magic existed, but full on witches? The kind that made wacky potions and put hexes on people? Lyric couldn’t believe it.
This disbelief transferred over into Lyric’s lack of fear, as he didn’t put together that the existence of curses meant one could be cast on him, if he had happened to piss off a witch, by watching her without any warning--which is exactly what he was doing.
“I-I’m sorry! I’ve never met an actual witch before, please don’t hex me!”
[Harvest Festival Entry--Lyric]
If there was no gender limit for the Harvest Goddess competition, Lyric was sure as hell taking advantage of that. It sounded like fun, and there was no reason he couldn’t. There was also no one around to tell him not to wear roller skates just because he felt like it, and that sunglasses might look strange in comparison to his green vest and tie--that he insisted to himself was to match his eye color and not because Dorothy would likely be wearing green as well.
Although, he did wonder if he’d have the courage to ask her to dance.

“E-excuse me?” Lumina cried out, tears beginning to well in her eyes, “But have you seen a white cat run by here?”
Without giving the stranger much attention, she whizzed by him running a few feet and glancing around anxiously, looking for a spot of white among all the hues of green. She was usually much more polite than this but her worry had overcome her manners and now she was just doing everything in her power to not burst into tears in front of this stranger. Breathing in heavily, she folded her arms over her chest and tried to calm down. Angel couldn’t have gotten too far.
“Her name is Angel, she’s a little white kitten. Very fluffy…” She hesitated, choosing her words carefully, “I had left the door open to get the mail and when I came back I could not find her anywhere.” Lumina turned back to face the stranger her mouth open as if to say something, but then her eyes grew wide with fear and she ran back up to him, “Wait! She loves climbing, maybe she could have climbed up a tree and - ! ” She clasped her hands around her mouth not wanting to imagine such a thing.
“I’m sorry to bother you but… do you think you can help me?” She asked solemnly to the stranger, her eyes full of need. Auntie Romana would kill her for begging and being so careless but in this state she didn’t know what else she could do but ask for help.
A blur of white had just run past Lyric before he heard a voice calling out, identifying the blur as a cat. Either that, or there were a lot of fluffy white things in this area.
