11 27am, stomach getting hungry, waiting for the time to reach lunch break

Look over to my phone

D:< XAVIER!!!

I looked away back at my work, thinking how Xavier is such a menace. Big meanie! (｀∧´ ‪ )！

Look back at phone again for a glance and the widget updated

To this...

THIS GUY SERIOUSLY! ヽ(｀Д´ )ﾉ ﾑｷｰ!!

IS SUCH AN ATTACK ON ME WHAT OIIIIII 🤣😭😭😭😭😭

okay for spoiler reasons for ppl that havent gotten it... under the cut it goes!

OH but as I'm trying out the other message options, this text is one of those that has wildly different responses from the options u pick! (some other texts, the responses are more or less similar but just paraphrased. this one is really different)

Then look at phone to see the time, notice the widget…

… Xavier can you not???? 😭😭 My stomach's growling is worse now!

and then this spawned off a XavMC idea while I had my lunch asdfghjkl (っ´Ι`)っ

-----

But like imagine this, walk with me here

Xavier and MC at work. Clock slowly ticking away, but still too slowly for Xavier's liking. It was lunch time and he was hungry.

Laying his head on the table, Xavier turned to look at his partner, busy tapping away at the keyboard.

Just a little bit more, MC says. There was no need to hurry with this report but being in that focused zone, maybe just a few more lines and boxes to fill.

Xavier would hear the protest from MC's stomach. He tried to softly reason with MC. The report isn't going to run away.

But he was met with a small rejection. That's it. He thought for a bit and then it started.

Xavier started talking about what they should have for lunch. Maybe that stall down the road with fried rice or the cafe that has great sandwiches. Or a good ramen place.

But oh, he did not stop there. He was oh so specific with the way he described each food. The flavours, textures, aroma...

MC could feel their stomach getting hungrier with each word and tried their hardest not to listen.

Only to fail spectacularly.

As MC opens their mouth to call out to Xavier and have him stop, their stomach has had enough and growled the loudest it's ever growled in the empty office.

Xavier sat up, with the softest look in his eyes, rather pleased and a small smile.

"Sounds like it finally protested."

MC gave a small pout. "Just a little bit more"

So... he was wearing the lil astronaut onesie and decided to let him randomize his outfit after that dialogue came up and...

THE WAY HE GOT ANGY AND HAS A WHOLE STACK OF DEBUFFS 🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭

but in the midst of all that, as I was just interacting with Xavier with tete-a-tete

his very first BGM came up. you know... The First Light

IDK what it is about it... but it's so... it makes me want to cry every time I hear it. Like it transports u back to that simple time when u first meet him and that comforting tone to it too... that i'm just so... இ௰இ

I dunno man. even before all these just hearing it felt so nostalgic and it carries this bittersweet yet hopeful tone for the future. The way it's so comforting like his voice and the stuff he says in-game that carries this warmth that you just want to nuzzle in

Hell... i feel like i'm gonna tear up typing this. just... very many feels TwT

no words can describe how much lucky I feel to have met Xavier. AND to everyone that I have met in this fandom as well... and... wah... brain and words failing me right now but just. yes.

the new chapter that replaced it was still SO FRIGGIN GOOD

World Underneath stories really never miss. And this really... just

makes one love Xavier and the people around him even more

It was equal parts silly and bittersweet

We get to learn even more about Xavier's parents (yes, even his dad a little bit but mostly about his mother)

ALSO THE TIME THE BACKTRACKERS FORMED!!!! AAAAAAA

Xavier and Jeremiah truly are such a silly lovable pair uvu

gosh I just really... can't even... T^T this chapter is so good...!

Oh Xavier, you truly are so loved and the heavy is the weight of that love, the crown and the path he decided to take, out of love as well.

Can I just say... ITS SO WEIRD SEEING THESE KITTY CHIBIS... WITHOUT THE KITTY EARS AND TAIL???? 😭

cont. from the previous post~

Final thoughts TLDR:

the stream is uh... underwhelming for non home system and photobooth players. The Valko content, at least the basic stuff will still release like Sylus and Caleb prior. So no idea if he'll have only 1 anecdote or more than that? Not much mention to Sylus and Caleb's content either :T

I mean though, with the home updates, that means more ways to grind diamonds BUT.... that's only if u have it installed and playing it;;;;

I'll just say that I'm sadly the target audience for this update X'D;;; While I don't play Home system aside from getting my flowers to max my garden level and only ever touch AR booth if and when I do go out and have the time to play with the delulu photo taking... u-u I still like the extra stuff (especially since I've been wanting to take full body AR pics since all the way back then...;;)
