[ With their return to Etraya and some fuzzy feelings in the air, Felicia makes her first appearance on the network. It's been a little too crazy for her to introduce herself to many, but she has managed to get to know a few people during the library and train missions.

The very striking woman with platinum hair smiles in the camera. ]

Hello, everyone. Have you seen these little Valentines floating around? I couldn't help but notice they contain various objectives for some kind of reward, I'm guessing.

So! I thought I'd help you all out.

[ She lifts her hand and touches it to her chest. ]

Need to shower someone with flowers? Pass off various gifts? Cover someone in compliments? Well, look no further. I'm your girl. Deposit all of your praise here. I promise, I can take it.

[ The whole thing is quite funny to her, and this seems like a chance to talk to some new people. ]

Maybe. What sort of compliments have you given him before?

[maximumlegend]

Uh.

[ A slight pause. It's almost awkward, but Fabian does his best to shove himself over it ASAP. The last thing he'd want to seem like here is uncool!! ]

That he's attractive. You know, in-- in multiple ways. [ Okay, no, that still sounds uncool! Fabian breathes in, trying again, sounding a little more confident this time. ] And I have said that he should stop calling himself dumb, because he isn't. I called him beautiful once, and he-- I suppose he was very much into that, considering he remembered it even months later. So maybe something along those lines would be good, if it means so much to him?

[catsclaws]

[ That makes her smile. ]

In that situation, I think it means more coming from you directly.

[maximumlegend]

Well-- I know that.

[ It's why he makes sure to compliment him so much! ]

But I do worry that it might get old if it's always coming from me, you know? What if he tells me that he has already heard me say the exact same compliment before? It would be a disgrace!

[catsclaws]

Fine, I'll compliment him for you. Who is your boyfriend? And who is this message from?

[maximumlegend]

Me? My name is Fabian.

[ He's pretty sure just Fabian is enough for once. Not like there's a whole lot of people wandering around here with that name, as far as he knows.. ]

And my boyfriend is Gorgug. Gorgug Thistlespring. I'm sure you must have seen him around before, he's pretty hard to miss. [ Though he does also send over a photo, just in case she might not have met him. ] He's one of the tallest people around here, you know!

[catsclaws]

Oh yeah! I know that cutie. What a great pair you make.

Okay. One romantic message declaring your love, comin' right up.

[ in the form of lyrics from an 80s song because she's not actually a poet. ]

[maximumlegend]

[ Beautiful 80s song lyrics, Felicia. You understood the assignment.

And usually Fabian would have left it there, but one thing she's saying sure does stand out to him. He blinks, and then there's some surprise in his tone as he says: ]

You think he's a cutie?

[ He's not surprised because it's not true. He's just surprised because he didn't expect to hear that from her right now. ]

[catsclaws]

Sure. He was really helpful when I first arrived.

[ More like he was used as a decoy so she wouldn't get caught by some flying curtains. ]

[maximumlegend]

That sounds like him.

[ A cutie, though? In what sort of ways was he being helpful, Felicia!! ]

Though-- Honestly, I'd be worried about him coming across more as awkward than as a cutie during first meetings. [ Look, he's very fond of Gorgug. But Gorgug is also.. Like That, for sure. ]
