[ ✉ ] — Ugh, what was with his luck today? First he overslept and forgot to put on his pants before running out of the house in a rush, had to run back inside and grab a random pair so the neighbors would stop laughing at him (they didn’t), and then scrambled into the office late with a piece of toast hanging from his mouth, ‘cause it was the simplest and quickest thing he could make before leaving.

He didn’t even like toast, but he’d be damned if he had to go on his long ass delivery route with an empty stomach.

Once that mess of a morning was out of the way, the day seemed like it might be picking up, even though his embarrassment lingered. But just when things were starting to feel normal again, a heavy downpour randomly starts in the middle of his route. Thankfully, it had started while he was making a delivery to the general store. So even if he hadn’t brought an umbrella of his own, he at least had enough luck to buy the last one that was on sale.

As he heads outside to continue on his route, he notices a blonde girl standing under the store’s awning. She made no effort to go out into the rain, and upon closer inspection, didn’t seem to have an umbrella either. Having no protection in this crazy weather? Yikes.

Dirk had his own business to take care of, and he was sure this girl did too, but he wasn’t gonna be a jerk and just leave her like this.

[ ♥ ] — Ah, the Flower Festival... what a wondrous time, filled with love and happy feelings! Flowers weren’t too high on Felicity’s list of interests (of course, that applied to just about anything that wasn’t food), but she could appreciate their beauty, and the heartfelt sentiments attached to them.

So before she heads out to her evening shift at the restaurant, Felicity stops by City Hall to buy some flowers for a few friends, paying a courier to deliver them for her. Hopefully everyone would enjoy their gifts~

Paid 4,600G to @magic-of-negotiation for delivery and purchase of flowers.

New Balance: 6,520G

A girl near and dear to my heart, always. Trust that she shall be greatly missed.💖 

But we’re looking forward to Ivan~! You have until January 18th to send him in.

[ ☀ ] — Lillie brushes a few strands of hair out of her face as she steps into the bakery, having just gotten off of her shift at the station. She didn’t have any extra filming slated after her weather broadcast, so she was practically free for the rest of the day. With her busy schedule, that was pretty rare, so she decided to celebrate the occasion by treating herself to some rich, chocolate cake.

“Hello, hello!” She cheerily greets the blonde baker as she steps up to the counter, casually taking note of the maid-inspired uniform. Lillie always thought they were cute, and a part of her wanted to try wearing one for herself one day... of course, that would probably never happen. A girl could dream, though.

Ask muse how good they are at…

💋 - kissing

How many times can he break into a cold sweat? He genuinely asks himself this as he pauses at the question. When was the last time he’s kissed someone? Does he ever remember if he’s ever kissed anyone? By God, he’s almost sure his lips have never locked with another living being’s lips. If he gave the truth however... No! He didn’t want to be seen as this random hobo loser with no luck in romance!

He must lie! For the sake of his image!... Or bullshit an answer.

Admittedly, Marlin often overreacted to things. It was how a man like him stayed alive: keeping his eyes open, his ears pointed, and his suspicions high.

Sometimes, however, those suspicions did rude things...like making sweet blonde women cry...in the middle of a dance. And, after such rude things, it befell him to do something equally as excessive to make sure he made amends.

Such was his way, and such was why three gifts had shown up at Laney’s house just a couple of days before. Marlin had forced himself to stay away from the bakery for forty-eight hours, but now seemed an appropriate time to go and make sure that everything had been delivered safely. He lingered outside of Arcadia’s Mon Cherry for a few minutes, second guessing himself, before he took a deep breath and came inside.

Among her crew, it was a well-known fact that Karen had quite the sweet tooth. It was dangerous. Even the mere sight of a bag of Skittles could send Karen into a frenzy until she had it in her mouth. For this reason alone, her crew often steered her away from the bakeries when they were on either island - it was for her own good.

They weren’t with her today.

Karen approached the bakery on Leuda as if in a dream, her eyes wide, her nose pressing against the window as she gazed toward the pies and cakes on display inside the shop. Heaven. She hurried indoors and pressed her hands into the counter, cheeks flushed with excitement.

[★] — Melody had been at Mon Cherry, eating cake and sorting through the vials of potion she made earlier that morning, wanting to make sure she had all of them with her, to show off to the guys over at the Emporium for later. 

But when she opens up the sunshine vial to sniff, it accidentally slips from her fingers and topples over onto her slice of cake, pulling a panicked shriek out of the girl. 

“Ohhhhh no! Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo!” Melody quickly swipes up the vial and grabs a napkin to dab up the spilled potion, but most of it had already soaked into the cake. Frowning, she knows there’s nothing she can do for it. But it would be a shame to have it go to waste... especially after the sweet baker had put so much time and work into baking it...

...but it was soaked in potion now...

She purses her lips, staring at it hesitantly before picking up her fork and slowly breaking a piece off of the cake, cautious as she brings it into her mouth. Her chewing starts off slow, but returns to a normal pace after a while, as she realizes that even with the potion it didn’t taste bad at all. In fact, it tasted heavenly.

“Wooooowie~!” The cake (or perhaps the potion) sends a surge of euphoria through her, and Melody jumps up from her seat, skipping over to the front counter where the head baker stood. “Hey, hey! Excuuuuse me~!”
