Ship: Lumi x Lek ;D Consists of: Texts and lots of RP posts. Yep.

Lumi and Lek went to the cafe in Balamb for lulzies. Appernetlies he works there and has a key so they went past closing.

[20:43] (no name) Lek smiled and moved away so the door could close behind them, turning to look it up so no customers could think it's opened although him locking it might seem creepy D: Moving towards the fridgerator he would set the backpack and T-Board over there before moving behind the counter. "Snacks, drinks, ahnythang da stick wunt?" [20:45] (no name) Lek would have flicked the lights on somewhere in there. [20:47] Lumiere looks around, still thinking it's creepy in here when nobody's around as she walks towards the counter. Over her shoulder, she looks to Lek with a slight pout. "I told you, I'm not hungry." [20:52] (no name) Lek facepalmed and dragged his hand down while peeking through his fingers, "Ya ain't eat fo'..what?...twalve owahs now?" Going towards the display case and unlocking it he would slide the door open, "Yur eatin' SOMETHANG.. so pick. STICK." [21:08] Lumiere glares at him, "Don't judge my eating habits, I'll eat when I get hungry!" She looks away with a 'hmph' and folds her arms over her chest. Maybe she just didn't wanna eat in front of him or something weird like that. Who knows. :T [21:17] Marcus knocks on the door like a Jerkass Customer :< [21:24] (no name) Lek looked over and seemed ready to facepalm, "I didn't mean... ugh... " frowning he would start to walk towards the fridgerator, "Jus... if ya hungry ask. Derrs muffins and shit in dat display thang.." Hearing the knock he looked towards Lumi annoyed, thinking it would have to be some random person thinking it was open. Mumbling out a, "Hold up." unlocking and opening the door with a, "Aye-yo we closed." Seeing Marcus he just looked at him with an even bigger frown, "YES?" Lumi would notice whoever he was talking to his once soft tone turned immediately brusk again like the flick of a switch D: [21:25] (no name) Lek's smug look returned also :> [21:25] Marcus looks over at Lek and than behind him. Whilse he may see Lumiere he does not make any overt move to push past Lek. Simply he replies. "Sorry, I was wondering if you were open and if I could get some manner of food for the night." Because...he was hungry and no free food like at the Garden...or room...or warm bed...or blankets. [21:26] (no name) hahaha. hes poor. 8> [21:27] Lumiere rolls her eyes, standing around for a bit until Lek heads for the door. She watches him open it, eyes wide as soon as she sees who it is. "Marcus!" she squeaks, waving at him with some enthusiasm. This was probably bad, Lek's tone made that a red flag. :| Welp. [21:30] (no name) Lek looked ready to close the door in Marcus' face with a brusk, "Well we're cl-" until he cringed at Lumi shoutigng out the other boy's name. Frowning he would push his back against the door to hold it open for Marcus, "Well?" He gestured the rat to enter rather annoyed. [21:31] Torri runs by screaming "BOYFRIIEND :D" -v- [21:32] Callista Macbain bursts through the door with gun in hand, "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE MOTHAFUCKAS?" -v- [21:34] Marcus nods and gives a polite Thanks to Lek. "Thank You." As he passes and heads straight for Lumiere. "Hello Again Lumiere....I am quite glad to see you so soon. I was afraid that due to recent events that I would not get another chance to see you for quite some time." [21:37] Lumiere smiles nervously, nodding. "Yeah. Sorry about last night," she starts twiddling her thumbs and takes a quick glance at Lek. "I was about to fall asleep. Did things go okay after though?" If she could apologize to Lek right now... Agh. She feels like Lek and Marcus shouldn't be in the same room, not counting their previous kerfuffles in the past. [21:38] Callista Macbain walks around the corner of the doorway and peeks in, was hoping to have some non-cafeteria food, immediately seeing Lek, with Lumi and Marcus more inside, "Oh, hello you guys." She says with a smile. [21:38] Lumiere hopes Callista being here will make this less bad. D8 [21:42] (no name) Lek glared at Marcus before looked away, "Yea whatever." looking over to the couple he frowned. Although unlike the rather rude or pissed looking frown towards Marcus just seconds ago it looked up upset. Looking away he would rub the back of his neck, standing up staighter as he was about to close the door before Callista came up. He quite literally facepalmed before taking a deep breath. Gesturing towards the inside, "Well get in before da whole damn school rolls up in herr." His voice remained brusk and slightly harsh now. Once Callista was fully inside he would quickly close the door like people would try and get in before then and lock it back up. [21:45] Callista Macbain blinks and looks between all three of them, and could feel the... uneasiness in the room. Then again, she was tuned to those sort of things, "Everything okay?" She asks with curiosity and concern. [21:46] Marcus pays no mind to Lek as he reaches over to take Lumiere's hands into his. "It is ok. I cannot expect you to stay out and risk your work and health to simply converse with me. I know there is more likely than not to be more time to do so." The rodent gently rubbing her hands, maybe a tad nervous and still new at this relationship thing. Unless it was like a Bromance...he was good at Bromances. "Did you sleep well? Has your day been good to you?" [21:52] (no name) Lek looked off towards Marcus and Lumi afterwards and seeing her hands being the boy instantly looked away. Murmuring towards Callista bluntly, "Fuuuckin' GREAT." perhaps the sarcasm was caught in it :C His smug look and brusk output like usual was back to normal while going behind the counter, "Well I ain't on shift so if ya wunt somethang ya'll can it yurselves... but ya still payin' fo' it." He would look directly at Lumi while ignoring everyone else with a slightly softer tone but not like it was before, "Still not gunna eat?" [21:54] Lumiere flinches as Marcus takes her hand, glancing once more at Lek. Her free hand is fidgeting, due to her inability to now twiddle her thumbs; as is her nervous habit. "Yeah, I've been okay toda--" She looks to Callista, still smiling and hoping her lack of comfort with the situation isn't completely obvious, "Eh?" As Lek picks up the tone of voice that she's no longer accustomed to, she sighs quietly; flinching again once he asks her about eating. Lumi looks over her shoulder, giving him an apologetic look and shakes her head. [21:59] Callista Macbain unfortuneately for everyone, Callista was a smart cookie, and cut the awkwardness with a knife and slather it on a piece of uncomfortable bread, "Well, then, how about I buy you and Marcus something, Lumi, while you two find a seat? Anything? A drink, a snack?" She was trying to get some space between the couple and Lek... whether it would work or not, time will tell. [22:00] Marcus bites his bottom lip gently as he takes notes of Lumiere's fidgetting hands and releaes them, giving her an apolgetic look before looking over Towards Lek. "I see, I am sorry for keeping you open...I.." He stops himself from speaking anymore as he looks back to Lumiere and takes a small bite to his tongue. Lek can take a verbal pummeling by someone else for his lack of Control. Now...this stranger was offering him food As should be polite he accepts. "Thank You, I would gladyaccept your offer of food." Cause he was really hungry. [22:07] (no name) Lek played with the piercing in his lip moreso as he watched the two and heard the way Marcus spoke. He looked ready to say something cruel towards the rat boy but looking towards Lumiere he would look away from the shake of her head and walk off towards the fridgerator. Not many things were premade since it just closed, opening and closing the drawers and shifting past the milk and whatnot to see what else there was. Peeking over his shoulder to hear Callista giving the couple a seat and lightly glare towards her with a frown. Turning to face the fridge again, his face turning slightly red and he could feel it. The door was barely open, only enough for his shoulder width so that they couldn't really see that he was just sticking his head in the fridge to cool off. An echo from speaking out towards Marcus while his face was in there, "Den grab it yurself and pay up. Therr's cheese on da back counter, rats like dat kinda shit right?" [22:14] Callista Macbain sighs and walks around the counter to grab a couple different simple food things, and while near the fridge, she jabs Lek in the ribs with her elbow, trying to snap him out of his "testosterone flare up", "Get a grip. It'll be better for Lumi." She whispers to him, doing her best to keep it out of earshot from the other two. She then threw whatever gil was needed on the counter, along with some cheese and crackers and fruit and a couple bottles of water, "All I could find that was prepared." She says with a smile [22:22] Marcus looks over and Lek and in containing his vicious wit simply replies. "Yes, I do enjoy Cheese." Than he would simply stand with Lumiere and look between her and this new woman before asking. "I would not wish to damage your coinage much. Why don't you pick something for me as I am note sure what calls me at this moment." Lots of Fancy words to say...I don't know woman! "Lumiere...do...you want to go some place else?" He notes and indicates her nervous twitch.. [22:24] Lumiere looks to Marcus with a frown, glancing at his hand and back. (Your ratboy is now diamonds?) Everything was terribly weird and she didn't feel like being here, but didn't want to leave with things like this. So awkward and tense. Her hands return to their previous action of twiddling her thumbs as she looks at the floor shaking her head, not really wanting to say anything to add to the situation. Eep. :< [22:30] (no name) Lek winced at the jab and looked over quickly with a glare like he was about to curse her out, even his mouth opened slightly but it clamped closed. Jaw clenched shut as he looked past Callista to Lumiere with a low mumble for only Callis, "Yea whatever." Turning back to put his face in the fridge for awhile and took a deep breath. Looking over his shoulder at Marcus blankly, "What?" he didn't seem to understand whatever was just said. Seeing the water bottle Callista had he would move towards her to take them, "I'll fill up cups... don't use da bottles, dat's fo' the picky ass customahs dat can't use a glass. If we run out I gotta carry the dumbass box in herr so I wanna save 'em." If she alowed he would take the bottles and toss them where they were before going to the cabinets with cups and filling them up with water. [22:35] Lucien knocks on the door violently before bursting through the door , "Hay dudes! I'm just going to come here and hange with you all. If that... swings... with you!" （*´▽｀*） [22:35] Lucien has mastered cool speech now. [22:35] Keisha Fabo (honey.martiel): LOL [22:35] Keisha Fabo (honey.martiel): Except the doors locked [22:36] Lucien fails to burst through the door then. And instead bashes his face into the door. "MMMMPH OOMMMMPH MPPPHHHH...." [22:37] Callista Macbain did let Lek take the bottles and responded, "Fair enough." She then took some fruit for herself to eat, motioning a hand to Marcus and Lumi, "Would you two sit down and relax! You're making my feet hurt." Not to mention if Lumi passes out from the stress, she would at least have the table to catch her. And then the door created a loud SLAM.... and Callista blinked at it for a few seconds, "What... was that?" [22:42] Marcus rubs the back of his neck softly as he looks to take one of Lumiere's hands and guide her towrda a table if she would like, even pulling a chair out for her. "Yes, I do think it would be a good idea that if we try to relax and improve the mood over doing anything that might make it into negative." [22:43] Lucien beats on the door moar. "Hellooooo?" [22:45] Lucien waves in the window for a moment before going back to the door. [22:45] Marcus looks over at the window. "There is a Hobo outside...waving like an inflatible arm waving advert tool" [22:47] Lucien raps on the window, "GAIS! Why is it locked!?" [22:48] (no name) Lek filled up the cups of water and left them on the countertop, "Well therr, go get it if ya want ahny." Although he did grab one cup and walk over to Lumiere to hand over gently with a mumbled, "Here." and would wait for her to grab it. Going back towards the counter before hearing the loud bang, frowning at it he would go towards the window to peek out. Hearing the knocking continue he frowned more and then suddenly Lucien popped up at the window as he went to peek out. Flinching he would groan loudly and go to unlock and rip the door open, "DUDE WHAT DA FUCK DO YA WANT?!" [22:48] (no name) Add the Lek glare and brusk voice :D [22:49] Lucien smiles, "Hi Lek. What's going on around here... in these parts... in your hood." he said, peering in, trying to sound cool. (´･ω･`) [22:50] (no name) Lek glared at Lucien with flattened brows, "Dude. Never. Say. Hood. Around. Me. Again. WHAT do you want?!" >:| [22:51] Callista Macbain blinks at the controversy that this madman outside apparently made... until... wait, was that... "Lu...Lucien? What in the name of... what happened to you? Your hair... your clothes... I..." She was flabberghasted to say the least as she took a few unbelieving steps towards him, fruit still in hand. [22:51] Lumiere takes the cup of water from Lek, nodding and mumbling a quiet thank you before following Marcus sheepishly, feeling worse now. Maybe Lucien can lighten the mood with his stupidity. D: [22:52] Lucien looks offended as Usagi's goddess professes Lek's amazingness in another dimension, "No problem, man. I wanted a.... a muffin." he says looking around to the others and waving, "Hi guys! It's my new Look. It's the -real- me! And also for the Hero Committee!" ( °٢° ) [22:55] Callista Macbain shakes her head a little, lifts her glasses up to rest on top of her head to rub her eyes a little before replacing her glasses on her nose, "What... the hell." First time she has ever really used an improper phrase since she arrived... well, maybe since ever, "You look like a buffoon! And your speech is all... awkward!" [22:59] (no name) Lek facepalmed with a groan although seeing that Callista new the guy he would finally slightly accept his existance, "Well den grab it yurself and pay up." He looked at the clothes Lucien was wearing and rubbed at his hat a little with the same brusk tone, "Well ya look like ya fuc-....nevermind." If Lucien was still in the way of him closing the door he would bluntly tell him to, "Move it." before locking it back up. Turning towards the cabinets he would take out a chipbag equivalent of Doritos that he kept for himself here, "'Da fuck is a Hero Committee?" [23:01] Lucien sticks a finger towards Callista, "Nay, Lady Callista, you'll come to deduce the true etimology of my transformation in due time." he says before looking to, "So like, why was the door locked, anyway, yo? The Hero Commitee is something Faust inducted me to, I think... bro. I don't really know anything about it except that it's for helping other indivi-.. eh... peeps." he says, sauntering to the counter as cooly as he could manage. Looking at the food options. [23:01] (no name) looking to Lek* [23:03] Lumiere sets the cup aside, sighing again. Between Lek and Marcus' tension and Lucien, she slams her head onto the table as is her custom, hoping to knock herself out. :| [23:04] Marcus will attempt to ease Lumiere's stress. For The Rat is not going to be stressed by Lek's dick moves. "Lumiere...did you sleep well?" Simply but he hopes she answers this time. [23:05] Lumiere is also surprised that Marcus hasn't tried to mouth off to Lek yet. "Yeah," she mumbles. [23:05] Marcus is changin fer Lumiere o 3o [23:06] Callista Macbain facepalmed and shook her head, "You always took things a little over the top, Sir Lucien..." She says before taking a bite out of the fruit she had in her hand. Suddenly, she came up with an idea, pulling out her cellphone and typing in a quick text. [Text]: You okay? Do you wanna get out of here? [23:07] Marcus gently rubs Lumiere's hand. "Lumiere...you are rather tense. Is there something I can do to help eaes your stress?" [23:07] Lucien grabs a muffin... poppiseed lemon, and looks to Lek again, "How much for this, yo?" [23:07] (no name) And Tomorrow is Garden's Annual Drug Test [23:08] Lucien had JUST started smoking Cactuar. Shit. [23:11] (no name) Lek opened the bag of -Doritos- and turned to face the others as he leaned against the counter in the same brusk voice about locking the door, "Ta keep dumbasses like you out....and siriousley... stop talkin' like dat befo' ya get yurself shot." Looked over to Lumiere with a frown and took a step forward, "Is.. she aigh...?!" Noticing them talking again though he would go to the fridge and take out a soda can. Clearing his throat at hearing sir Lucien before answering the question again bluntly, "4 Gil. But it should be mo' since yur aftahowahs." [23:12] Lucien walks over to the desert cabinet, "KIBA. YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING DIE. THERE'S NOT AIR INTHAR!" presses his face against the glass, "THAT MEANS NO BREATHING!" （￣□￣；） -v- [23:12] Lumiere lifts her head from the table to lay her head back down on it properly, looking at Marcus. "Mhm." Another quiet response that's interrupted by the chorus of (if you can call it that) Big Booty Bitches playing somewhat loudly. Instantly she sits up and fumbles to take her phone out of her pocket to stop the blasted thing from playing any more of the atrocious song. As she flips open the phone, she takes a quick glance at Callista before replying and putting it on the table next to the cup of water. [text] Lumi: Yes and no. I don't want to leave because Marcus is here and because Lek is here HOWEVER I want to leave because Marcus is here and Lek is here. If it were just one of them, this would be okay. SHOOT ME KAY? <3 [23:13] Callista Macbain held up her hand to try and dissuade Lek from getting Lucien to stop, "It's no use, just let him learn on his own." She says, having known him his whole life, he always had to learn things the hard way. [23:15] Lucien pulls out 50g and puts in on the counter, "Thanks my man, lek, you cool. Don't worry, I'll be improving the coolness of my speak soon. I'm working on it." he says taking a bite of the muffin （*´▽｀*） "Thank for letting me come in aft... ah... howa... ers.... or whatever. Was just real hungry, yo!" he says waving to the others, "See call you all you fools in the Garden, alrighty?!" [23:16] Marcus nods to Lumiere and wishes she would stop using that song but he does not mention it, just like he does nto mention that she appears to be putting on the stress pounds. Must be all those tripsto Dollet. "Lumiere...would you like a Massage? I...think I know how they work well enough to ease tension." And the rat fumbles around for ideas to help the orange hair'd girl. [23:17] Callista Macbain pulled out her phone after a simple beep... yes, boring, but it does the job... and types a reply really quick before looking to Lucien as he left, "Take care, Sir Lucien." She says before taking a nibble from her fruit, glancing at Lumi every now and then. [Text]: I would, but then I would lose a friend. :) I think I should take you out of here. You'll have more opportunities in the future to try and clear this up between the both of them. [23:19] (no name) Lek looked over at hearing the song faintly and grinned a little at it. Turning his attention to the other two GRIN GONE, FROWN BACK. "Larn on his own? I know wherr in town he'll get shot fir dat shit if dat's what ya mean." Looking back to Lucien his pierced brow arched at the gil. Moving over to count it he would look between it and Lucien a few times, "Uhhhh..." Blinking blankly the kid rubbed at his beanie, "Thanks...? I... guess..?" Hearing the guy speak more he facepalmed again with a sigh, "Dude... who says 'yo' at da end ovva sentence?" Frowning more at Lucien he would turn around and ravage through the cabinets, "Call me a foo' again and watch what happens...BYE." [23:20] Lumiere flinches as the fucking song plays for a second time. She hadn't expected for a reply and failed to turn that blasted thing off. As much as she loves that song, it's not a good ringtone... Grabbing it from the table in a hurry, she makes sure to put it on slient and types up a quick reply, not bothering to set it down after. She looks to Marcus and shakes her head lightly, "No I'm fine. Promise." [text] Lumi: I can't. I already skipped out on Marcus last night and as much as I don't want to admit this, I like being around Lek. D: [23:22] Marcus was feeling helpless in this entire help make Lumiere not so D<<<< "I..well, the offer is there. I am sorry that I do not know what to do to help ease your stress. I will find seomthing..." Marucs actually realy really ahted that song but says nothing! Like how he does not mention hwo Racist Lek is. [23:24] (no name) Lek peeked over at the song again and smirked, shuffling in his pocket with a scrunched up mouth and playing with his lip piercings again while texting :D [text] Lek: 'Nice ringtone. I hope ya didnt set me undr that song even if I am one sexy big booty bitch' [23:25] Callista Macbain flipped open her phone again as it beep, reading the text while she took another nibble of her fruit, then started to make another reply, giving a sigh. [text]: I understand that you care about them both but you're just punishing yourself for no reason right now. I can tell you're feeling awkward and confused, I'm not dumb! You'll have more time to spend with both of the in the future. [23:27] Lumiere opens her phone silently, typing away but pauses for a moment to smirk and continues. Closing her phone, she smiles at Marcus, laughing a bit. "I'm fine. I... have a stomach ache, that's all," she nods. Yep. Greatest lie ever. :|" [text] Lumi: I have it set for everyone... :| [text] Lumi: Hey, is it bad that I feel more comfortable around Lek than Marcus? D: And, gimmie a few minutes. Blah, we can go say we're studying or something. Or you can think of something. Idc. [23:32] Marcus nods to the lie and for Lumiere's sake does not bring it up beyond that. "Than maybe we should get you something for it...Is that man who has been rather loud your friend? Maybe we can ask if the cafe has anything that can help your ache." [23:32] Callista Macbain flipped closed her phone and finished the rest of her fruit, "Hey, Lumi, I was just reminded that we need to study for some finals coming up. We shouldn't slack on that stuff you know. Why don't we get back to the school? I also have some pepto in my dorm room. You know, for the spicy foods I sometimes eat." Yep. Convincing. :D [23:35] Lumiere looks to Callista, then to Marcus and back to Callista again. (Okay now it works, Callista is now diamonds.) "Oh! Shit, you're right. I didn't bother to write down what we were studying either," she mumbles, trying to be convincing. Looking back again to Marcus she smiles again, "You mind if I go?" She tries to ask as sweetly as possible, though Marcus isn't fucking stupid and knows something's up. Lumi completely disregards his question of is Lek is her friend or not, because she figured that he'd realize who it was if he thought about it. She quickly texts something and puts her phone back in her pocket, her attention back on Marcus, "Can I?" [text] Lumi: I'm really sorry about this. If I get to slip out I'll text you or something, if you want? D: I'll make it up to you, promise. Or... something. [23:38] (no name) Lek looked down at his phone and leaned against the counter a little more calmed down now. Chewing on a chip and reading his head dipped a little with a grin and exhales through his nose in a quiet laugh. Looking over at Lumiere with a softer look and back to the phone he would text again. Not much hearing Marcus or Lumi from the distance but seeing Callis caught the convo he would look around for anything, "What am I lookin' fo'?" Looking back down to his phone with a slight frown and texted again. [text] Lek: 'To everone? I think dat makes ya some kinda pimp. And rents+dat ringtone ya would have ta record dat reaction' [text] Lek: 'What i say bout all dem sorrys? Dont worry bout it. Hes yur boyfriend. And I know im being a dick so sorry if i made shit awkward' [23:38] Marcus wants to stay with Lumiere longer. Since expulsion it has been a lonley existance as few come down from the Garden and he must be content to wait until someone he knows may appear for him to talk to...however. Marcus nods and gives the top of Lumiere's hand a simple kiss. "You don't need to ask me. You go and do what you need for your classes. I will always have later. You just see to getting yourself better." And Marcus was all Q-Q on the inside. [23:43] Lumiere squeezes Marcus' hand lightly, sitting up from the chair, "Sorry, second night I've skipped out on you." Grabbing the cup of water, not wanting to leave it there, she heads towards Callsita; nudging her. "So, you know what we're doing right? 'Cause I don't." Her phone flips open with a click, again and she types something quickly, glancing inconspicuously at Lek. [text] Lumi: Ehhhh, I didn't expect you to act any differently.. I guess. I'm really sorry. (I'll apologize as much as I fucking want, step off.) Seriously thoooooo. I'll make it up to you. Name it. D: [23:44] Callista Macbain smiles at Marcus, "Don't worry Marcus, you'll see each other again tomorrow, I'm sure." She says with a sincere nod, although knowing the Lumi has to CLEAR SOME SHIT UP, "Of course I do." She says with a giggle, grabbing the keys to her car out of her pocket before making her way out. [23:45] Lumiere quickly waves to both Marcus and Lek as she follows Callista out, hoping to Hyne nothing happens. :| (Even if Usagi wil be disappointed in both of you if that's the case. She really wants you to fight for some reason.) [23:47] Marcus rises from his eat slowly as Lumiere gets to leaving. As he passes he counter he leaes a small tip for Lek, even if he was a douche and Marcu lacks funds, it was nice o allow him in. "Good Night..." He mentions as he head towards the door. T [23:50] (no name) Lek looked between the text and everyone else with a frown, taking a deep breath as he went to open the soda and drink from it. Seeing them leave the boy nodded towards them, "See ya." Noticing Marcus was still here he would flatbrow and give a smug look again. Moving to grab the cups that were left around and the money to put in the cash register. Peeking up at the rat boy and the tip before looking back down at the register with a mumble, "Yea.....night.." [text] Lek: 'Will ya do anythin?' [text] Lumi: I guess. I said I would. [text] Lek: 'HA! UR FUCKED!' [text] Lumi: ... Why? [text] Lek: 'Ull see jus member u said anything' [text] Lumi: Should I be scared? xD [text] Lek: 'U prob will be ms uptight but ill make sure nothin happens so there aint no reason ta be' [text] Lumi: ... Kay. D: Feel free to collect on that whenever, I suppose. [23:57] Callista Macbain motions her hand inside, "Come on, we're going to my room." [23:58] Lumiere nods, following her, "This is gonna involve me talking a bunch, isn't it. Or are we actually studying?" D: [text] Lek: 'Ur studying now tho but \o/' [text] Lumi: I don't think we're studying... D: [00:01] Lumiere takes a seat on Callista's desk without thinking about it and texts every few seconds or so. [00:01] Callista Macbain closes the door behind them and then crosses her arms, "So, I'm not going to beat around the bush. What's going through your mind right now?" [00:03] Lumiere pulls a Marcus and "irks," looking at her meekly. "Uhm... Honestly?" [00:03] Callista Macbain nods, "Yes, please." [00:04] Lumiere looks down at her phone, grimacing. She sighs, chewing on her lip a bit as she talks, "I sorta... really feel bad but I want to go see Lek." [00:07] Callista Macbain sighs, "There is no need to feel bad. You know this is natural, right? You might feel bad because you care about Marcus, and that's understandable. We might be here doing mature things, learning about war and combat and magic, but honestly, we're still children. We're still growing accustomed to life. And that involves situations like the one you have with Marcus and Lek." [00:09] Lumiere chuckles, "Are you my mom? Sounds like something she'd say. Seriously, word for word." Smiling at Callista, she starts to swing her legs away from the table; back and fourth. "I like Marcus but, I think it was because I'd gotten rejected before... Usagi kinda pushed me into the relationship and now I'm talking to someone I'm comfortable around." She can be mature tooooooo. [00:11] Callista Macbain giggles a little, "Sorry... in my household, you either grow up fast or don't grow up at all..." She fixed her glasses a little before saying, "You do know that you're going to have to tell Marcus... and tell him soon. Right? You can't leave this lingering for too long, Lumi, or else it'll just get worse." [00:15] Lumiere glances away from Callista dejectedly, "I know... I mean, I didn't really think all that much about it till I started thinking I liked Lek. It's not like I haven't thought about it..." She answers a text before continuing, "I don't even know how I'll go about it, because... I don't see him that often." [text] Lek: 'Well aint ya jus full of fail' [text] Lumi: She did it to get me out of there and lighting things up. D: Telling me to go study that is. [text] Lek: 'Because of me?' [00:18] Callista Macbain shakes her head, "Just tell him the truth. He'll be sad at first, yes, but he'll understand in time. He'll move on like we all do." Suddenly, Lumi would feel something poking at her back. [00:19] Lumiere sighs, "I guess. I'll have to actually get a hold of him fiiiiiIIIIRROHGODWHATISTHAT?" Squeaking loudly she turns around, looking behind her and swatting at whatever it is. [00:22] Callista Macbain blinks and leans over to see what Lumi was swatting at, and it was nothing, but Callista knew what it was, "HEY! No! She's a guest, don't be getting territorial!" She would lift up her hand and the poking would suddenly stop and she would sigh, "Sorry about that." [00:22] Lumiere looks to Callista, dumbfounded, "What did you just..." [00:25] Callista Macbain bows her head and sighs again, "Sorry, they tend to get uneasy around new people." She rubbed the back of her neck a little, "Uhm, there's some things about me that... a lot of other people don't know yet. Basically... everyone except my family." This was maybe the first time Lumi has ever seen Callista uneasy. [00:27] Lumiere cocks her head to the side, expecting her to continue, "Hnn?" [00:30] Callista Macbain cringed a little, "I... can control shadows... so... shadows... tend to follow me." She wondered if that would even make sense. [00:31] Lumiere: "Buh? That sounds like something out of one of the novels my sister likes to read," she says slowly. She doesn't look too effected by it the confession. [00:35] Callista Macbain tilted her head from side to side, "They don't have a strict moral code. They can do bad things... very bad things." She gestured her hand a little as she explained, "Like the poke then turns into a light push... then they do a shove... then before you know it, you'll be tossed around the room like a ragdoll." She continued on, "Not many know about this but the few that do... they fear it. I can't get them to leave me alone anyway, so I'm sort of stuck with them." [00:37] Lumiere frowns, "That sounds like a burden. I guess it could leave you open to do some random shit though." Her useage of profanity becoming more regular is probably a product of her hanging out with Lek for the past two days. Speaking of, she begins to look really pissed at her phone all of a sudden, getting angrier and texting faster every second. Without looking up at her, she asks, "Hey. If I said I was gonna go beat the shit out of Lek with a really heavy object, would you hold it against me?" [text] Lumi: Because of how fucked up the atmosphere was. [text] Lek: 'Because of me' [text] Lumi: There's no way you could have known that he'd be there, and given the only time I've seen you two together, I know you don't get along. I'm not gonna ask you to be nice to him for me. [text] Lek: 'Anyone evr tell u ur too nice?' [text] Lumi: Nope. [text] Lek: 'Well besides bitchin at me all day' [text] Lek: 'U r' [text] Lek: 'And im almost back at school' [text] Lumi: I bitch at you because you're too wreckless. :/ ... Do you want me to let you know when Callista's done with me? If you're up I mean. [text] Lek: 'Ur not wreckless enough so its good 4u. And sure' [text] Lumi: You complete me then or somethin'? :| Haha. Jk. & OK, I'll do that. Unless I'm bothering you or something. [text] Lek: 'Maybe. And ur not botherin me. UPTIGHT' [text] Lumi: I am not uptight, god dammit. D:< But, mmmmk. If you say so. I'll tell you when this is done. [text] Lek: 'Aight ill jus go beat sum geek up 4 his lunch money while waitin' [text] Lumi: You're kidding right? [text] Lek: 'Yea i am. Im an ass but not dat bad' [text] Lumi: I was gonna say that it's really cliche to do that. [text] Lek: 'But u werent gunna lecture me? IM DISSAPOINTED MISS UPTIGHT' [text] Lumi: -___- I'm. Not. Uptight. I'll seriously walk out of here and go beat you with my grimoire. [text] Lek:: 'UPTIGHT' [text] Lumi: Do you even know what a grimoire is?

[00:38] Callista Macbain blinks, "Uhm, why? What is he saying?" [00:39] Lumiere continues her angry texting rampage, still keeping her gaze on the phone. "He's. Being... An ass... And I really want to hit him." Her tone becomes angrier as she says each word, eventually growling them out in a frustrated manner, "Augh!"

[00:40] Callista Macbain couldn't help but smile at the raging Lumi, "You can just ignore him, you know, and hit him later." [00:40] Lumiere groans, still texting, "I caaaaaaaaaaaaaan't...." [00:41] Callista Macbain replies, "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." [00:42] Lumiere squeals, "He's pissin' me off!!" Dx And Lumi doesn't get mad often LOL. [00:42] Callista Macbain sighs and walks over to her, holding out her hand, "Give me the phone." [00:43] Lumiere groans again with a whining tone added on, "Hnnnnn..!" She sends one more text before handing over the phone with a little reluctance.

[00:44] Callista Macbain gladly takes the phone and puts it in her back pocket, "Boys will be boys. Especially one as... unrefined and crude as him." [00:45] Lumiere squirms as she watches her hide away her phone. "So I can go beat him up then?" she whines. She was so close from bolting, too. [00:47] Callista Macbain shakes her head, "No. I believe the real punishment here is for him not to talk to you. He's going to be aching allllll night to try and bother you, and he won't be able to, because..." She pats her butt, "I've got your phone." She holds up a finger, "Psychological warfare, Lumi. Learn it well." [00:50] Lumiere blushes, "You.. don't know that." Her rage totally seems to have diminished at the thought of him pining over her in any form. She starts twiddling her thumbs, nodding like a child as Callista lectures her, "Mmk.." [00:52] Callista Macbain holds her hands out to her side and shrugs a little, "Oh, I think I'm not far from the truth." Strange that she was giving these lectures to Lumi even though they're practically the same age... but Callista has studied a LOT in her life. [00:53] Lumiere sighs, "If you say so... Don't go getting my hopes up. I'll die." [00:56] Callista Macbain pokes Lumi's forehead, "No. No getting your hopes up. Hoping is for those who do not think they will succeed." Now she was starting to sound like her father. [00:57] Lumiere continues to whine, "But it seems like I'm making progres--" Furrowing her brow, she clamps her hands over her mouth. Nobody needs to know that she's been flirting with Lek like a madman. [00:59] Callista Macbain tilts her head, "I'm not dumb, Lumi. I know you've been working on Lek for awhile. I saw it the first day I saw you and Lek together. Then again, I pay attention, unlike most." [01:00] Lumiere looks down, disappointed in herself. "Ehhh! It's really hard to contain myself." [01:01] Callista Macbain lifts her head back up, "You're young! Stop beating yourself up." [01:02] Lumiere: "Yeah but I'm also in a relationship with another person who people here are aware of." [01:02] Callista Macbain shrugs, "Relationships come and go. For some reason, a lot of people don't realize this." [01:03] Lumiere: "It's the first one I've ever been in, so..." D: [01:04] Callista Macbain nods, "That only amplifies my point!" [01:07] Lumiere only shrugs. [01:09] Callista Macbain puts a hand on Lumi's shoulder, "Lumi, just do what you want to do. In my opinion, there is no right or wrong in this situation. There will be consequences no matter what action you take. Understand?" [01:10] Lumiere looks up at Callista with a glint in her eye. The words that come out of her mouth are extremely childish, "So... You're tlling me that I should go beat Lek with my grimoire?" Apparently she hadn't dropped it. [01:14] Callista Macbain makes a D: face, but more on the incredulous side, and just sighs and dips her head, "Alright, go ahead, if it'll make you feel better." She says, pulling out Lumi's phone and handing it to her. [01:17] Lumiere takes her phone back, flipping it open to a few messages. She smiles and closes it without replying. "It will make me feel loads better, I promise." Before she puts her phone away, she looks up to Callista and smiles sweetly, "Thanks for the advice, though. I feel better about it and... I guess I'll just have to tell Marcus that I'm sorry." Shrugging, she hopss off of the table and gives Callista a hug. :> [01:18] Callista Macbain nods and smile, hugging Lumi back... awkwardly. She's not use to hugs actually, "Oh, Lumi, do me a favor. Don't tell anyone about the shadows." [01:19] Lumiere nods, letting go and heads out the door. "I don't think anyone would believe me anyway," she calls out to her. :o [02:06] (no name) Lek looked around as he walked down the hallway towards her room, noticing the back of a female he would look around the column after getting close enough to see if it was... yep. Smirking slightly as he shook his head and approached her, "Derr ya are, got lost dat easay?" [02:07] Lumiere watches him approach and glares at him, instantly throwing her phone at him. "Shaddap, you. It's cold and I wasn't trying..." she gumbles. > 3> [02:10] (no name) Lek turned to his side and did a fold to dodge, watching as it hit the ground and popped open. Glaring back at her with a frown, "Siriousley...? Calm yoself." He grunted a little and went to pick up the pieces, walking over as he popped the battery in and back cover. If she did take it he would start taking off his hoodie, "Yur dorm is right dere.... we gotta work on YUR lazey ass." [02:12] Lumiere takes it back, rolling her eyes, "My lazy ass? I put my sweater in there not expecting to have to look.. That does sound lazy, nevermind. Thanks." Patting the area next to her, she gestures for him to sit next to her, "So, I also didn't bring my grimoire because it's heavy and I don't want you writing in it." [02:16] (no name) Lek grinned at her while it was evident now that he had gum in his mouth as he began chewing again. Taking his hoodie off fully the male tossed it towards her, "Herrr ya go Lu-MUAH." He moved over towards her and took a seat, leaning forwards with both elbows on each knee, "So den wut ya gunna beat me wit?" Oh yea, and his soft tone was back \o/ [02:18] Lumiere smacks his ribs sharply, handing him his hoodie, "Nothin' now, I suppose. Are you into that kind of thing?" If she where she was sitting wasn't warm, she'd scoot over and lean up on Lek like earlier but. Heeeey, it's cold. :D So that's a no-go. [02:23] (no name) Lek winced as he was smacked and put a hand to his ribs with a frown, "Heey chill it! Damn geerl ahlways gotta hit me! Inta what? Not bein' hit, maybey jus being hit ON." Taking his hoodie the guy frowned, "Yur cold... Or do ya not know how ta put it on uptight?" He would lean over in front of her to put the hoodie draped over her shoulders while looking her in the eyes, "No whinin', aight?" [02:26] Lumiere: "I told you I was gonna beat you to a pulp... Gotta hit you at least once," she shrugs, looking away as he forces the hoodie on her. "Yeah but, you're gonna get cold... Or somethin'." Just for good measure, she whacks him again and blushes just a liiiitle bit. [02:32] (no name) Lek bit at his lip piercing lightly with a soft nod, "Fair 'nuff.." He frowned a little about being cold, "Nah I'll be fine. Ya worrin' too much agin." Being wacked he frowned once more and looked down to her slippers. Reaching down he would slide one off and stand up, facing her as he backed up to gain distance. Lek looked up and tossed the slipper about before catching it over and over like a baseball. "Plannin' on stayin' up agin?" [02:34] Lumiere catches the slipper, putting it back on her foot after. She shrugs, looking up at him, "Why. You wanna stay up with me again?" Not that she really wanted or needed to, just, she wasn't that tired. At the moment... [02:37] (no name) Lek leaned down and snatched her slipper again, this time backing up quiet a few steps so she couldn't lean in to grab it. Swinging it straight up and catching as it came down as he shrugged with a grin, "Naah I dunno if a nerd like you can handle being up past rent's bedtime. What's day... somethang like 8PM fo' ya?" [02:39] Lumiere glares at him as she takes off her other slipper and chucks it at him, full force. "No! Of course not!" Her face turns redder as she becomes slightly more frustrated with him. Lumi was so prepared to keeeeel him, no time to let him mess with you! Dumb girl. "And quit callin' me a nerd. I'm not one." [02:46] (no name) Lek smiled lightly as he got his with the slipper, "Aye-yo! What's wit all da beatin's?!" He took one of the slippers and tossed it over to her dorm room before tossing the other towards her, "Payback. Oh shit..." He went towards her and slid a hand into one of his hoodie pockets while it was still over her shoulders. Pulling out something wrapped up and standing up. "Well if ya wouldn't bombface on me all da time I wouldn't call ya a nerd." Unwrapping it there would be a Strawberry Crepe that looked a little messing in how it was folded. Leaning over to hand her it, "Here. Ya still didn't eat ya'damn stick. And I made it so... it might taste like shit." It wouldn't taste amazing but it was still good D: (We completely forgot about this IC so it's around somewhere... Derp.) [02:54] Lumiere watches as he throws her slipper towards her dorm, scowling. She folds her arms over her chest, having a bit of difficulty in doing so since his hoodie is bigger than she is. Stupid sleeves ; n; "You shouldn't be such a wuss about me hitting you and stuff, I told you I was gonna..." Her words trail off as he approaches and she looks up at him, opening her mouth to say something but is surprised to be handed the crepe. Laughing, she kicks his shin lightly, giving a quiet thanks. "I'll eat it later..." Lumi doesn't want to eat around him 'cause she's weird and thinks it's not attractive for a girl to do so. Though the gesture of the thing makes her finally blush like usual. [03:03] (no name) Lek frowned at her, "I ain't no wuss, ya wouldn't wunt me hittin' ya right?" Leaning over when he was kicked in the shin, "AH!" Inhaling a, "Siii" before glaring at her, "Dat's it." He went to plop a seat next to her and put his arm around Lumi with a lean, "And I warned ya too so ya ain't got no excuses!" Lek leaned in closer to her like he was about to do something but waited to see her reaction first. [03:08] Lumiere: "Yeah, but I told you that I wou--" Her reasoning gets cut off by his closeness. As he leans ever closer, she squeaks, blushing harder than usual. "Whatcha mean I don't have any-- Eh!?" Lumi puts her hands up against his chest in some weak attempt to push him off but overall, stays still, watching to see what he'll do. [03:15] (no name) Lek leaned over her shoulder and whispered lightly in her ear with a smirk, "I told ya I'd bite back, if ya kept messin' wit me." His body moved closer to press against her side but stopped as she pushed at him. Looking down at the hands with a quirk of his brow and light frown, letting himself be pushed away from her if Lumi wanted to with her hands. [03:23] Lumiere shivers as he whispers in her ear, closing her eyes tightly. "I didn't even do anything that you didn't know was gonna happen," she whines, clutching his shirt a bit. Lek's pretty scary like this, but not really when he's mad. Probably has something to do with her lack of, oh you know, dating and all that rot. Boys in general. No big deal. Lumi gulps once, bracing herself for something he might be inclined to do. Her reaction might be discouraging though. Who knows. o_o [03:33] (no name) Lek's eyes lie on her relaxed as he watched her facial expressions and smiled lightly. Leaning in even closer, "I still warned ya..." He moved on her more and his lips just barely touched her ear before stopping, pulling away quickly as he let go of the girl. His expression changed now to either embarassed or ashamed as there was a light blush, scooting a little to give her distance. The boy looked away and towards the slipper on the floor just in a check of anyone ninja'ing it. Lek's voice was lower and weak, "Sorrey.... I won't do shit like dat no mo'...." Rubbing at his hat a little as he continued to looked away from her, "Ya still cold...?" [03:41] Lumiere stays in place like that, arms up and as he pulls away his shirt is tugged out of her hands. Realizing this, she opens her eyes and looks at him, completely confused, "H-Huh..? N-no... Thanks. Do you need your hoodie back...?" Well damn. So much for that. She scoots closer to him, poking his side, "What happened?" D: [03:44] (no name) Lek shook his head lightly in a soft tone, "Naah, I'll go get ya SLIP-" wincing at the poke before looking at her rather blankly. Blinking a few times with a risen brow, "Wh-what..? What happened...? Last time I messed wit ya you cried.. so why would I wanna do dat to ya agin?" [03:47] Lumiere blushes out right, stating bluntly, "It's... because Usagi was there. I didn't really m-mii--" the rest of of it comes out as a squeak. Noticing what she'd just said, she hides in his hoodie, turning away. Lumi why are you dumb though? [03:54] (no name) Lek arched his brow all the more from her respond and blinked at her, "What.....?" Watching her he smiled before it quickly faded, leaning a little to try and pull the hoodie away from her face. Biting and rolling his tongue at the piercing inside his lip while looking at her. A light blush coming over him, she was... so tempting... His eyes gazing to her lips with a light gulp, tucking in his own liips almost to stop himself from doing anything he might regret. [03:58] Lumiere lets him pull the hoodie away, as she's staring at the ground; her face isn't completely red for some reason but, only covers her cheeks in a cute rosey kinda way. However, that blush is a dark red and isn't so cute in color. "You.. You heard me," she mutters, keeping her eyes fixed on the ground. "Hnnnnn..." [04:02] (no name) Lek rubbed at his face like he was trying to wipe away the tinted red, his heartrate picking up as she mentioned it again. Looking over at how innocent she looked with that blush and to him just a cute nerdy look. The boy's voice became weak while mentioning, "What 'bout.. Marcus...?" He wasn't much talking about the joke anymore but hoped she still thought he was incase he was making wrong assumptions.. which seemed to happen all too much and backfire at him. [04:07] Lumiere shrugs, reaching over and grabbing his shirt weakly. "Iunno... Callista said I should break it off, 'cause... Hnnn..." She shakes her head, squeezing a little harder on his poor shirt. "Well, obvious reasons and," it eventually becomes too quiet to be audiable and her expression grows more serious as she speaks. Lumi shrugs again. [04:11] (no name) Lek looked down at his shirt being grabbed but turned his attention to her again, looking away as he played with the inside of his piercing nervously. His face heating up a little more as she mentioned it all, "And....? What do you think...?" His voice became more hushed, "Are ya gunna... break it off...?" [04:12] Lumiere nods, pulling lightly on his shirt. "Yeah. I don't see him often though, you know..." [04:20] (no name) Lek leaned a little forward from the pull, mouth opening a little from a light exhale as he stared at her. Blinking a few times quickly he would try to stand straight in front of her after noticing the sun was rising, "Ya'wanna... go ... somewherr ...more private..?" [04:22] Lumiere glances over at him momentarily, shrugging, "If you want..." Cause she doesn't really need Usagi walking by again. :| (That's you, Chelsea! O uO) [04:26] (no name) Lek rubbed at his shorts a little with a quiet nod and ran off to retrieve her slipper. Leaning down to slip it back on her foot and help her up if need be. Lek would start to walk towards the large tree where red light was probably shining onto from the 4AM sun rising over the horizon. While walking their he would fidget a bit with his hat, "So... what werr ya plannin'...? I mean... werr ya gunna do dat 'enjoy bein' single' thang...?" [04:30] Lumiere lets him help her off of the ledge and follows him, nudging him after he asks. She looks up at him and nudges him a second time, "Are you stupid?" she asks. Her face has no expression but her tone is playful, "I told you, obvious reasons..." [04:37] (no name) Lek looked over at her as she nudged him and smiled shyly, "Ya didn't tell me WHAT obvious reasons...." a let exhale escaping as he shook his head. Looking over to the benches and nodding towards them, "Uhhh right dere. Wanna sit?" [04:39] Lumiere: "If they're obvious, then I shouldn't have to." She pokes his side, looking where he did and nods, "Yeahsure." [04:56] (no name) Lek laughed a little nervously, going towards the bench and putting a hand gently on her shoulder to try and sit her down in a hint. His face seemed to burn up more as his blushing became more visible, looking up at the red sky. Dipping his head lightly to take off his headphones and held each end with both hands. Kneeling down to her level he gave a nervous yet soft expression before shaking his head to himself with a slight grin, "This... is gunna be... so corny.." Pulling them apart her would gently put the headset on her ears and gently let go so that he wouldn't hurt her. Standing up he shuffled into his pocket for the mp3 player and looked through it, peeking back up at her. He seemed to get lost for a moment in her eyes and just stared before blinking about and looking down again. His heart pumping even faster while doing so as he peeked up a few times. Finding the song he took a deep breath and took a step closer, "Jus.... listen to da lyrics... aight...?" As the song started to play he would [04:56] (no name) stand there and try and see her reaction to it, about 30 seconds in though he would roll his eyes towards himself almost in a scorn and lean over. Placing a hand on her cheek he lifted her head up gently and reached over. Slowly his face suddenly became in front of hers, his blushing increased fully. Looking at her from the small gap between them his eyes shifted between her own and the girl's lips. Lek closed his eyes and moved forward all the way, his thick lips pressing up against his as he pursed them in a gentle kiss, leaving them to linger there for awhile before he relaxed them. Pausing for a moment at his body seemed to flush with his heart seemed to go hot and cold at the same time, a soft butterfly feeling in his stomach. Going slower to press their lips again his hand would shift behind Lumi's head and hold it, other hand that was free would come up to hold her face, thumb brushing her skin gently as he kissed her upper lips now with a quick exhale through his nose. [05:28] Lumiere sits down, watching him as he takes his headphones off and eventually puts them over her ears. She flinches, not really doing much else but nod when told to listen and smiles as he'd said it'd be corny. Lek's pretty damn cute when he's being shy. Cue the first line of lyrics, she starts giggling. He was right, it's corny but... Flinching again as his hand comes in contact with her face, she follows his movements with wide eyes. Lek's all blushyfaced, awesome. "Now who's a bombfac--" Okay, he's getting way too close.... Oh. Her hand reaches out to his shirt yet again, grabbing it and gently pulling on it to hint for him to come closer. Lumi's free hand finds it's way to his shoulder, again, pulling him closer in; eventually wrapping around the back of his neck. Her kisses with Marcus had been kinda weird in comparison to this, they'd never really gotten close during them and... this was nice. She can't help but smile as he kisses her, probably making it a little bit awkward before returning that affection; [05:28] (no name) kissing him back in response. Her cheeks are burning and she can feel it. Lek probably can too, but it's fine. Everything about this is just fine. Yep. Not a single shred of guilt could possibly be gained from this. As Lek presses on with his kisses, she starts giggling, letting go of his shirt (Finally) and pulls away playfully from him. [05:49] (no name) Lek opened his eyes lightly as he was pulled closer, the feeling overwhelming him as her arm moved from his shoulder to around the back of his neck. When he felt her lips curl up in a smile even with his eyes open the boy would peek out them to look at her and smile lightly before before kissing again. Between both their burning faces it was hard to tell where the heat was coming from: his face or hers. Seeing Lumi pull away with giggles he would pull away himself just to see the whole picture of her. A light and shy tone to his voice, "Sorry I... couldn't wait. Therr's.... somethang about you... that I... oh fuck it..." The fingers of his left hand brushed up into her hair gently before sliding a little towards the side. Lek glided both hands near her body and backing up while holding onto them to try and gently back her stand. If she did her would wrap his arms around her lower back and lower his head to meet hers. Turning his head slightly and pressing his lips against Lumi's lips. Feeling how soft [05:49] (no name) they were, his piercings might have been felt a little but not hurt in anyway. Firmly pressing their bodies together while doing so, anytime she kissed back he seemed to get warm chills if that was even possible yet it felt so. There wasn't a second thought on it now, it was just her. Emotions mixing and turning in his core, feelings seeming to play at the same time through his body while continuing. His large lips opened up a little so that when they pressed on hers again they seemed to cover hers warmly and completely. [06:20] Lumiere pulls down his headphones from her ears, letting them rest at her neck. Taking a deep breath, she smiles warmly at him; perfectly contented with this. YEP. By Hyne, when was Lek so fucking adorable? When he pulls her gently from the bench, she practically lunges at him, wrapping her arms around his neck almost instantly. "Wait on wha--" She doesn't mind the interruption of his kisses, returning every one he plants on her with a bit of gusto. She likes Lek's kisses, they're fun and they're sweet and buh. Lumi completely forgets that she's wearing her glasses, thinking that they'll get in the way but can't bring herself to take them off; she's kinda stuck, ha. However, she does pull away again to peck his lips lightly and just kinda look at him for a second, "Can I talk now?" she asks, adjusting her now wonky glasses. [06:28] (no name) Lek widened his eyes for a moment when she did pretty much make a lunge at him with arms wrapped around his neck. The piercings on his nose probably made a slight clicking noise upon hitting her glasses a few times that would just make the boy smile in his kiss whenever. As she pulled away he seemed ready to lean forward again like he couldn't get enough of her until hearing her speak. Keeping his arms wrapped around Lumi's back and staring for awhile. Lek looked almost worried like she might say something that could upset him, still the boy nodded lightly at the question. His tone still quiet and shy, "Yeah.." A hand would move up to the side of her face and brush any hair out of the hair that may have hung over her eyes during the small kissing fest.[06:58] Lumiere gives him an odd look, shaking her head, "I meant like... You've been interruptin' me when I was tryin' to talk, that's all. Don't look at me like that," she laughs lightly. "What are you like that for, huh?" Bringing an arm away from totally engulfing his neck in his own hoodie, she pokes his nose, making a little 'boop' noise as she does so. @_@ [07:06] (no name) Lek seemed more relieved and with his face with blushed would exhale with a smile as Lumiere reassured him. A soft laugh escaping as she explain him interrupting her, his rasp voice still a little nervous. "Like what?" Looking between her eyes and lips again he thought about saying and smart remark before going to kiss again. Yet no words came out, only inching a little closer to her face before being... boop'd? He stopped and quirked a brow at her blankly while a little unsure of how to react to that. Although soon he smiled again, trying to lean in and get a good kiss in once more before pulling back so she could continue if she wanted to. [07:20] Lumiere: "Like--" As he kisses her again, she makes a little squeaky-squealy noise and flails some. Without thinking much about it, she bites his lip lightly before he backs off again. Buh! Are guys normally like this? It's funny. "I mean, like... You got all 'bombfaced' and shy," she says, smacks his cheeks lightly. Lumi smirks as she presses them together, forcing him into a duckface. "Reversed rolls?" [07:29] (no name) Lek grinned at her squeak although the bite definitely caught him by surprise. Eyes going wide as he stayed there before letting out a soft exhale and smiling a little. Perhaps enjoying it? A soft pout appearing on his face, "Yea....so..?" starting to smile before his cheeks where just puppeteered to her likings. He just gave a blank face and blinked about with the squished up face while trying to talk which may have been entertaining to watch, "Noomnmffmnffmfamerurfrrrmm..." Luaghing a little from it he would try and squish her cheeks back or at least try to poke one. Whenever he got free the boy learned in to nibble on her lip lightly with a smirk, "We'll see 'bout dat." In a teasing manner. His hands moving up near the back of her ribs under the shoulder blades and rested there warmly. [07:53] Lumiere smirks as she continues to press on his cheeks, laughing devilishly as he attempts to speak. "Hein quoi? J'peux pas comprendre que t'veut dire, cher." [Eh what? I can't understand what you wanna say, dear.] Knowing he won't get it, she says it anyway for funzies, finally letting go to see his reaction. However, she's met soon after with the feel of his nibbles and insta-squeaks, blushin' hard. Closing her eyes, she grabs on his shirt again, tryin' to pull away from whatever it is he's doin'. Even if she sorta likes it, too. After he lets go, she pouts, sucking her lip pitifully. "Buh, nooooo... Reversed rolls is fun~ Don't do eeeeeet...!" she pleads half-heartedly. It didn't really matter to her but, playing with Lek when he's like this is fun. :> [08:11] (no name) Lek quirked up a pierced brow with a mumbled, "Mnnnmmmmwat..?" from the language. When she let go he would have attempted at the accent with, "Lu-MUAH." Grinning as he peeked down to his shirt and just wondered how much more she might stretch it, although right now he could really care less. His tone became a little teasing or mischevious like before as he went down before her head level and would suddenly reach behind her knees to sweep Lumi off her feet. If she didn't squirm about he would looked down and smile at her, "So ya don't like dis? If we reverse den ya gotta carrey mi ya'know." If she allowed he would carry her to the dorm since it was getting brighter out with a hush tone like they might get caught... in a fun way :> "Let's get to yur room befo' peopole wake up. Keepin' me up all night agin.... pain." Teasing the words out at her before making it to her dorm. [08:22] Lumiere: "Buh? Being carried around?" Her arms were around his neck, clinging for dear life, 'cause... Honestly she didn't trust him to hold her like this with his injuriesblahblahblah. Though, since he's already doing it, she might as well just not complain and not add to the issue. "Well, yeah but you already know what I'm gonna say you holdin' me like this," she blushes a bit, even more so after he mentions her room. Oh boy. :D "K-Kay..." [08:29] (no name) Lek did have some trouble but he wasn't going to make noises or anything D:! Because of that fact of thinking she would squirm about and say sorry 100 times. Only thing that could be the most noticable is his jaw clenching shut anytime he wasn't talking. Smiling a little while looking forward and immitating her voice at what she is going to say, "Lemme guess....HNNNNN?" Once they got to her dorm he would probably laugh after getting a little tangled in the curtains while carrying her until manuevering it right without using his hands. Going inside he would let he would bring her to the bed and look down with a mischevious grin. Whatever he was thinking would be apparent as he dropped her down lightly but enough to probably make her stomach drop. Taking a huff of pained breath before plopping a seat on the beanbag and leaning back into it. Looking over to her and shifted to the outside of the beanbag like he expected her to come over.

Survey Results Part 3 : The Negatives

Been dreading this section! The question was “ Would like to hear what you feel could use improvement? Please be constructive! “

My comments will be in bold. Identifying comments may have those portions redacted.

Combat System Related

“The combat system is tremendously complicated to configure and use. You have to make templates to guide the new players or they will not attract you. In my case I have decided not to use it, it requires too much time and there are faster options that favor roleplay “

The template suggestion is a good idea. This is one of the easier to learn systems we’ve used over the years though, if anyone has any trouble configuring it feel free to poke any online staff board or ask in the Discord, we’re here to help!

“ LRS needs to be balanced, going all points offense is just too much of an advantage “

We’re constantly testing and considering options,will look into this further!

“ Everything. Meter being #1 on at the moment. “

Sorry you feel that way! We do have meter as a “needs improvement”, and high priority in that category.

“ Less complicated systems not everyone is waaaaayy into the Dungeons and Dragons Aspect. i myself am from a era in SWRP where everything was Combat Meter. People will debate that combat meter is not rp and they are right from a certain point of view. However before we attacked someone or another group we extensively rped out the scenario these days its all DICE MATH DICE MATH i am horrible at math i come to SL to relax and just play out my character with the occasional battle here and there. Now i am aware thats all the current generation of SWRP but the freedom is very limited i'd prefer old school honor FFC above meter and dice but i realize there is a huge trust issue in the community which i gotta admit is somewhat logical considering the amounts of people that god-modded in the past especially the Sith and Jedi who all were SUPAH powerfull. Hell i'm a sith too but i hide it and play like Palpatine nobody knows i'm sith unless they are sufficiently alligned with the force to sense the intense dark energy hidden.

Eh long story short. Focus more on ROLEPLAY and less on DICE or any other system.

In the end we all come to SL to escape the hectics of life adding complicated systems like CLOCKS [Large Events only as far as i heard ] does make me want to just walk away. Turfs work pretty neat but requires more consistent rules like Take 1 turf a week to prevent Big groups such as my [REDACTED] to Streamwall it all I can go on for hours but wont bother you guys ;) I love the casual rp on the sim that's what drew me in “

“ feel like things like clocks and turf are bloat “

We’re looking at things like Clocks & Turf for revision or termination. Those behind it are no longer with us, and we do feel it’s current version is too heavy. The add ons such as that are not mandatory for players to know, they’re more for group leads and often something they can opt out of as well under certain circumstances.

“ Make LRS more like d20 “

I wish this one elaborated a bit more.

“ Only thing I can really think of, is maybe more instructive ways to teach the LRS system, notecards can be helpful. Explain such things like weapons, armor, items, in general to be obtained, where to get them etc. Host events to maybe entice people to get them. And maybe, have more items with different stats, mind you I realize some share different stats, but from what I can see in the starter items, very few have different stats. Not saying, starter items should be powerful, just saying the things I've noticed. I could be mistaken with the items itself, and may need more experience in it. Anyway, thank you for your time :) “

Some good suggestions here.

“ Leveling/Rank system is kinda meh'. While I do like a system that has leveling/rank to it keeps people honest and cuts down on meta/god emoting and shit. I feel like the gaps between some of the higher ranks and lower ranks seem like kinda insane. Which might be intended if so then I suppose it's fine but I feel like Emi basically can't interact with certain people in a hostile manner once she learns their abilities cause you she would have be insane to try it again lol. “

The gaps are actually much less significant than they have been in the prior systems we’ve used such as SWT & Chimera but will look further into that. I’ve personally lost to a 1 on a 5, so it’s not invincible mode by any means.

Build/Setting Related

“i feel it might be nice to see more places for people to sit and hang out around coronet, maybe replace some of the derelict vehicles or make it so you can sit on them like benches. id like to see more items handed out as mission rewards even if rarely. “

“ I'd like for there to be more places to sit in Vreni and Corenet. benches or just something as simple like being able to sit on clutter such as crates, vehicles, or even ledges. “

Been working on this, adding in more benches, small parks, etc. As well as getting more staff the ability to generate items that can be given as rewards. If anyone is running a storyline that they want to request items for ask in the Discord or ask me directly, if I’m busy I can at least point you to someone who can help

“ more fun, less stress ... but I have no clue how to make that happen other than just focusing on RP and letting everything else go entirely “

I agree! I assume this one is more about staff than the playerbase as we’ve been pretty happy with the low number of OOC player vs player incidents.

“ Rentals availability notifier “

“ It's hard to find personal rentals. I wish there was a map or something that showed where there were rentals available. “

“ more rental homes i feels like there's not enough rental homes especially on the lower section there's like 4 i beleave maybe bump this up a little if possible as i would belave it would make it better for more people to have homes there. “

Since the survey have added enough rentals to catch up on the waiting list. While the waiting list is now empty they are all full last I checked so will add more. The waiting list is why the boxes often auto-lock and do not notify. When we do have freed up rentals and no list I let people know in Discord announcements. If you want to get on said list let Zenless know, specify which of the rental types/location. Generally go down the list when one becomes free but if I don’t hear back from someone in 48 hours move on to the next person.

“ The island build kinda tbh “

Would have liked elaboration as to why, I personally enjoy the contrasts in setting.

“ Add a area we can rez items we buy “

We do have a build box, but yeah need to be in the landgroup to rez, this is to protect the sim from griefers.

“ I feel like the furries need to be toned down, a lot of them seem to be pushing the limit on what is okay for a character. Otherwise I don't have a whole lot that comes to mind. “

If you have concerns about an avatar, contact a GM or an Admin. No one else should be confronting people about avatar appearance. Mentors will help those wondering if their avatars conform as well.

“ More open areas, like forests, deserts and snowy mountains, depicting the different Corellian environments and bringing more RP scenario options. “

Worked on it with the addition of the RP scenes, currently there are 4, we may switch them up now and then, any player can use these for their adventures. As of writing this we have a snowy one, a shadowy planet, a jungle and a minimalist desert. It often depends how many prims we have free how details these are. Things are also added to them specifically for a story, etc.

Story Related

“ Perhaps get more people involved IN the Holonet so we have a wider scope of story coverage from other factions/sources. “

“ StoryLine for the sim. News Reports. “

Would love to! Contact Zenless anytime you have something you would like printed on the news, we’ll take anything from briefs to full length articles. It’s generally me (Zen) who ends up writing most, but would love to have more contributors.

“ Easier access to groups. More storys that involve the "lesser" people that arnt part of a huge faction. Less hiding the roleplayers in faction bases. “

“ More events and gatherings for other time zones. It sucks that all of them are always at 9PM at night US EST. Some of us have jobs... “

“ Perhaps slightly more conflict between the groups. “

“ Most improvements are at the group level. All group leads should be working to give their players some daily content. Whether it be a small quest, large mission, or just something to progress their IC storylines. Right now it seems group leads are more there for policing than GM (game master) “

“ I feel that the Storytellers should put out more events, as well as come to defining the terms of the Clock System in a Simple way. There is too much confusion even among Admins about it. The Sim Build should also be improved to reflect 4D Coruscant. While an Island is nice it is only ever used for beach parties or the Jedi. Whilst every other RP is taking place in Coronet City or the Event Boxes. I am sorry if this was not very constructive but typing it out is a lot harder than explaining on voice. Come hangout with myself or talk to [REDACTED]. “

“ leadership in groups focusing on small scale rp to advance players char's ICly “

“ Could use more roleplay opportunities such as organized events. “

Lot of similar themes in these 6 so I’ll touch on them at once. Our group leads have been great and have been the primary ones responsible for the high levels of activity. On the other hand since the start we had a story team that did not put much time and effort in other than those who were also group leads. There was a main story arch yet few if any segments were ever run, and when these people left they asked for their stories not to be used so we had to go back to the drawing board. We’re working very hard to get more people involved in stories/running stories, do let me know if you are interested as we’re always looking for more aid. Typically we bring on people as mentors first, find out what they do well and help with stories if desired.

“ Not having jedi trying to confiscate lightsabers as if they are the cops... “

You could go to CorSec ICly. This one really seems like an IC issue as it is technically a violation of Corellian policy/law.

Staff/Management/Leadership Related

“ I feel there is a bias that favors the Jedi with staff “

“ the admins other than Eva do not seem like they care about the players “

“ Some of staff can at times be out of touch with the playerbase and comes off as elitist “

“ One owner has to go as per the jedi discussion on the jedi discord. The rest of the sim is fine. “

“ Admins “

“ Easiest suggestion. Unity. This admin team, just like the old 4D, is being trapped in drama. Things need to be unified and aligned to help the admin team mesh, instead of argue. “

“ some of the staff come off as condescending and rude mostly jedi who are also staff “

“ Consensual basis of decisions by the staff. Seems like things are constantly at odds. “

“ tessa and perry should not be admins “

“ Really wish the admins could be more approachable and stuff :l Except for Ootarian, he cool :D “

“ stop taking on owners who are terrible admins but just have money. wil,perry,lone,keely and so on “

“ I feel the LRS could be slightly more balanced rank-wise. I'd also like to see more LRS items but not too many. Less staff drama would be nice as to not fracture the community and kill RP. More sim-wide events such as Pazaak tournaments, races and even combat-oriented ones would be welcome “

“ Not a big fan of LRS but it’s better than most dice systems. Would like to see consensual agreements on staff rather than seemingly duking it out “

As some may have noticed there has been an overhaul of staff, much of this will seek to address any of the comments here. Everyone knows I say what I think to a fault. So I’ll be transparent in my POV (take as you will) though I’m sure some are going to be unhappy I even touched on this. The SWL Community was in bad shape after what happened on 4D for those who were here for that, I made a bad judgement call in some of the people I partnered with as our views were incompatible. I was very depressed after 4D (our prior region), and didn’t input as much as I should have when it came to staffing the sim, so they filled the staff with those who I’d consider their “friends”. Staff often became a battlefield of ideology between myself and what I saw as a circle of friends. In no way am I ever a perfect angel, and there are patches that I could have navigated better so I am responsible for the conflicts within staff as much as the departed are. Sometimes people just don’t work well together. What’s done is done though and moving forward I feel we’ve been making a lot of progress in having a more cohesive team. Still some rough patches as any sim with a decent sized playerbase is going to have it’s share of arguments, but I can say for certainty that everyone involved in leadership now genuinely cares about the community and that we’ll do our best to listen to the players and strive for consistent improvement.

“ Telling myself that "You seem to be breaking the system, the sith might need their own story system" isnt encouraging. We are here to help the story move along but because we are the only ones really using the Clock system. Our use of it in my opinion should be rewarded not, not discouraged so that way other groups are encouraged to use it also. And this isn't me complaining, this is how what is being said is being perceived. “

The staff member who said this is among those who departed (who have been mentioned often here). We’ll strive for a fair environment for everyone/all groups where goal posts aren’t moved on a whim.

“ More freedom and less bureaucracy “

You and me both :D

“ My friend who had been rping here for a few days before me and participated in two events got told she couldn't rank up because she "only earned 1 exp" meanwhile I got enough to level up and that isn't cool because we both pretty much did everything together so it feels like there might've been some bias there. “

I know it’s repetitive but the person who did this is among those who departed. Fixed this personally as being consistent is of extreme importance to us.

“ Maybe a little more staff so no one feels overburdened. Would love to see currency added to LRS (kind of like Chimera), most inventory items/upgrades/mods/etc. Otherwise, I love this place. Great people and great fun! “

We are currently interested in taking on another mentor or two as there is a lot of work to be done, but we’re being careful in that we want a staff that can get a long to avoid a lot of the feedback that was brought up here on staff environment being internally hostile.

MISC

“ Clear advertisement of those willing to mesh-build or animate on commission for players would be nice! Even if we don't take them up on it, knowing it is available helps. “

I like this suggestion, will think of ways to try to advertise for them.

“ - More sim events for common people

- More story events at current scale before we try and move large scale. We really haven't even tested the waters here and yet we're trying to move larger? It's like an amusement park with one slide saying we need to buy more land rather than build more attractions in the available space to entertain people. Lets try and utilize the current setting to its fullest before we decide it needs to go larger - The main social hub moved to a neutral ownership.

- More balanced meter

- Less outrageous things being brought onto sim. The more outrageous things get, the harder it is to bring content because that content gets dismissed by one person with the snap of a finger rather than being a tension and toil to overcome It also puts newer players at a huge social disadvantage. “

This one touched on a lot of things so put it in misc. Pretty much touched on everything but “outrageous” in other sections. What people consider outrageous is very subjective but we do try to avoid anything too crazy.

“ A lot of people are a bit bossy and obligating others what to do with their character, especially how they look. That makes people, certainly those who put a lot of effort in them, really pissed. Maybe a send out that we all should respect each other in how we look and how we roleplay. Not everyone is a rich ass who can buy what they want or so experienced in roleplay as the other. So the basic thing is respect. “

True. If any issues with an avatar or anything else, a GM or Admin should be contacted. Players hostilely confronting other players is often something that will be considered a minor offense which can lead to disciplinary scenarios. If you need any help do let one of us know, it makes me very sad when I hear about someone being given a hard time over something like that.

In conclusion, thank you to everyone who filled out the survey. This was the hardest section to give feedback on as it does touch on a lot of “drama” elements. I’m not the smartest admin, def not the most PR or PC, I speak from the heart. It means a lot to me that after six years and all the obstacles that people are still here. I’ll do my best to try to improve everyone's experience. Please keep in mind we are a VERY diverse role-play community and it’s literally impossible to fully please everyone, sometimes the good of the many will outweigh the good of the few but the tyranny of the majority is also something you always try to keep at bay.

SWRP as a whole has now lasted about fifteen years as you can trace it’s origins back to 2003 while the first groups and sims really got going in 2004 with groups like the Mandalorians under Dazzo Street, Jedi under Marcus Moreau and others,the first Galactic Empire. Then in 2005 sims exploded with Korriban, Sirius, New Holstice, Tatooine, the founding of GAR & DLOTS. We may have had to do a lot of adapting and changing with the times to still be an active community, but fifteen years is an amazing accomplishment for any roleplay community. We’ll have our ups and downs but I think we’ve proven ourselves to be as resilient as they come. :)
