i didn’t know what you wanted me to do w those so i just

This is Kayda

so kayda is an AR (augmented reality) character created by a company who also did something for serena williams’s daughter (karlie and serena are longtime friends and business partners). AR is when you have a character that appears against a real-time background (so for example, pokemon go. i think that the nintendo DS also had some AR stuff you could do with the camera)

pre-pandemic, there was this trend of influencer families using AR characters with their kids. so you’d get instagram videos or photos of kids “playing” with the character. i think this was how it was originally marketed. now the company has a few more celebrity tie ins and some stuff about the dreaded metaverse, but i think the web3 aspect of anything the company has come up with was tacked on later, once web3 became a trend.

kayda appeared before we knew karlie was pregnant. afterwards i had sorta wondered if kayda might be used with karlie’s kid in some capacity (there was a post that showed kayda being ‘assigned’ karlie’s baby at one point) but that never panned out. personal opinion but i think that was for the best.

kayda also used to have an instagram, but that got vacated and operations moved solely to tiktok. kayda seemed to have made some appearances during kode with klossy camps. overall, some of the kayda posts have felt a little easter eggy, but it’s never been building up to anything.

i think kayda may have been used more if the pandemic didn’t happen, because i get the sense karlie probably downsized her office operations during quarantine and there were likely less employees/budget to work on making content. for example the original voice actors have been switched out.

Aika woke up to the smell of L as she always did, she slept soundly with her face in L’s chest mimicking his breathing.

She sighs a little bit wanting to wake up just yet, it was too early, L hummed noticing that she was now awake.

She whined but knew it wouldn’t lead to anything she wanted, he would still get up and she would be left alone, so either she could get up now and be with L or she could stay asleep and be without her raven haired boyfriend.

She whines again holding onto his arm attempting to keep there, he smiles a little at her action and sits back down on the edge of the bed.

“I will have to leave at some point my dear.” He says, she gets up and curls into his back taking in his scent even more than before.

She played with his hair for a few moments before speaking. “Why can’t you just stay here with me?” Her tone was a sad and upset one.

“I wish I could but you understand why I can’t.” He says leaning back into her a little.

“I know… I just want you here with me.” She says, wrapping her arms around his torso. “Is it really that difficult? Why can’t we take a break once and a while?”

“Because we have lots of work to do, I really do want to, our job at the moment prevents it.” He notices that her hands begin to slowly go up his shirt.

It didn’t seem like anything lewd, she enjoyed feeling his skin so he didn’t think much of it.

“Maybe tomorrow.. we have a lot of things to do.” He says.

“Please.” She whines a little into his ear thinking that maybe it would spark a different reaction than before.

“You make it so difficult to say no.” He says softly, he gets up earning a long whine from Aika.

He leaves and comes back a few moments later.

L slowly crawls onto the bed laying his hand down on her waist kissing her softly.

“L- I-“ She whimpered a little into the kiss, they had come so far with one another, there was a time she wasn’t able to see his face.

“Shh, this is what you had asked for, correct?” He asks, assuring her that it had been alright.

“Y-Yes but I-“ She says leaning back into the pillow.

“If you’re worried about having to do something, don’t be.” He says kissing her again.

“I whined so much this morning, and I-I just don’t want to anymore.” She says.

“Listen, any amount of time with you is more than enough for me, there is no need to worry about it. I swear my love, I would never want you to do something you didn’t want to.” He says softly, slowly collapsing his arms laying down on top of her.

“Are you sure? W-we can if you really w-want.” She says as she begins playing with his hair.
