Lolirock On Tour

I really liked S2:24 where Praxina is genuinely friends with the girls because she had lost her memory. In contemplating the events in LOT I wanted to highlight this back and forth that forms of everyone having to be friends on tour but still enemies outside of it. I also just really liked the idea of Nathaniel being friends with the twins. Truly, LOT stemmed from Nathaniel's obliviousness and the laughter that came from imagining him staring at a roadside attraction an entire episode while the girls and the twins battled it out behind him with no clue as to anything occurring at all. (Very Phineas and Ferb-esque)

This is when Iris and Nathaniel have just gotten together and so he's all mushy and goes hardcore at helping everyone "follow their dreams". (Dating Iris has been a dream of his for too long.) The girls find out eventually but they truely have no idea until one day someone is severely sick or hurt and they don't have anyone to sub in. Praxina offers herself up after Nathaniel badgers her about it and she ends up killing it. (It just so happens that this coincides with a P&M scheme to disguise Praxina as one of the girls to get insider info. You would think they'd use Prax's disguised form when performing but the girls feel like Prax deserves all performing credit and also they don't want her doing something bad in their name.) The girls have to wonder if they should try to recruit Praxina now because she was just that good.

Nathaniel has started giving Praxina singing lessons with Mephisto's help. (He's learned a few tips during guys night karaoke.) This all started when Praxina was covering for trying to practice a new spell chant. (It has to be done by both Praxina and Mephisto so her trying it out on her own is perfectly safe, for some reason Mephisto just has it nailed which bugs her to no end.) Nathaniel thought it was her attempting to sing, she told him they were vocal warm-ups she had thought of, he seems skeptical so she goes on talking about how much she just "loves Lolirock and wants to be like them someday". Nathaniel decides to be helpful in his own way and offer her singing lessons.

Nathaniel frequently forces the girls to have Praxina over when he and Mephisto have "guys night". He practically has to dump Praxina on the girls to get them to hang out. Said "guys nights" consists of facials and gossiping about the tour staff. One time Doug popped in to ask Nathaniel a sound related question, (his answer was subpar and had specific terminology but also felt like he had no clue what he was saying) and got roped into gossiping. Doug is the girls manager after all, he hears everything. Nathaniel feels comfortable sharing cute stories about Iris that Mephisto is actually really supportive of. They have the best smoothies during guys nights and they karaoke all of Lolirock's songs which they are starting to get very good at.

One time Praxina turns out to be Nathaniel's "I know a guy". It is the twins own fault the problem occurred in the first place and everyone present knows it except Nathaniel. Praxina begrudgingly fixes it for the girls and Nathaniel is just happy he can give the girls an excuse to pay attention to these two adoring fans they ignore all the time.

He thinks they are sweet and endearing for being so supportive of Lolirock. (Their cover in following the girls around on tour and always showing up by their tour buses is that they are huge fans of Lolirock.) At one point Nathaniel and Mephisto go on a double date with Iris and Auriana, Nathaniel got the wrong idea from Mephisto and ran with it for a little too long. (Meanwhile: Talia and Praxina end up getting trapped together somewhere and bond a little bit about being the strategic ones in their group/duo.) Nathaniel's friendship with the twins was originally motivated in the hopes that the twins could use him as leverage against Iris, but lol they actually like the dude so whoops there goes that plan.

We will never know for certain, what we do know is that he has his own place in LOT. Nathaniel can fix anything. On Tour this comes in handy pretty often. Sometimes he can even fix Ephedian Magic. (Which is very quickly glossed over by the girls as they would prefer to avoid his questions with the sacrifice of never getting answers of their own.) If Nathaniel can't fix it, he always "knows a guy" who can.
