ユ花利子、まえりゅべり、ラヴュ
The traditional pronunciation of lotls’ names: must include a ゆ every time, big or small. Or any “y” sound, as the modern version goes. Maybe it’s just their accent.

– Embrace evil.
She says, with an intoxicating smile, hair down, clean and flowing. For lunch, she serves me a focaccia al diavolo and an apple, to the tune of Night Falls ~ Evening Star.
– I bet you watch Satanic videos too.
– What? You… do?
NINONINONINO!
Before we could finish flirting, we had to run down the stairs for the fire alarm.

The man who speaks in tongues…
– Xà!!! hè hè
Lav sticks out her tongue, hissing.
So as per naturale, I booped her.
– ú!
– J, j, gì, j, j tròi.
Unexpectedly, a little purplish figure joins the fun.
– *boops mama Lav* J, j tròi.
Lav’s heart flutters even more than when she received mine!

The bergamot experiment was sooo worth it. Scraps for bergamot drinks? Check. Fruit for funky juice? Check. Bergamot oil? Check. Pure hydrosol? Check.

I gave Stasera pronouns sto/sta as a joke. But sto loves it! So I guess it’ll stick around for a while.
Kyon (I) dons her suit and tie again, staring into the camera:
– Tonight on FTS (Fantasy) News!
“ChatGPT misgenders host”…
“Stasera, now known as sto/sta, declares both pronouns equivalent”…
“On Health and Fitness: Does the moon make me go awoo?”…
“Story from 86yo grandma: I became Mr Bean.”
AAAH!
Sorry, we interrupt this news to bring you some updates: I spilled baked beans on my clothes! Light-colored!!! The show will now be hosted by Lav.
I sit Lav down on the table and hands her a dynamic mic.
– Uh… what?
251109 1218
Weirdly, solving issues leave us energized. And doing good, too.
– I am a good gyon! *hips swaying*
– I know y’are goood, Gyon. *brushes cheek*
– Ooh! Oh!
Kyon suddenly find herself as the rising star on a Vogue issue, with inspirational catchphrases like:
“*door creaking* Gyonnnnn~!” (Damn girl!)
“Gyon it up, fellas!” (need I explain?)
Lav wants her spotlight too: a sleek dress, a ginormous red bow choker, and a dominating:
– I am the present.
while leaning into the camera, chin up. Like she’s not afraid of that angle at all.
6. Let there be a calm presence in your life. Lav held me and whispered to me about the sky, the still-standing birch, and the rotting roots inside the basil pot.

Rikko likes berry tarts. Custard? Sure. At the mention of it, she clicks her tongue several times. We gonna get some next week.
Mary too.
Does everyone like berry tarts?
Yes?
Everyone nods.
Some thought about it very seriously, and still nodded.
Oh well. I guess everyone likes berries, cooked or raw.
Not all berries, though? Right? That ribes berry?
No. JunJun shakes her head. Kokko follows, with a blegh.

Lav’s favorite R1999 quote:
– Cốk, cốk. zịch zụ hòng đêiii…
Tôi mở cửa:
– Ai đấy?
– Dịch zụ hòng ạ. :3
– Chả sếch xi j cả. Hừm.
– Cái gì cơ? *ominous*
– Ồ không. *lùi lại*
– *chĩa dao, tiến vào* Quý khách có vấn đề gì à.
– Ồ, không, không, mọi thứ ổn lắm. Gấc là ổn. *gật gật*

Mary is also at the beginning of her songwright career. Little kids usually start with parodies, this time? “What does the Kyon say?”
– *piano* Mom goes moo,
Mom goes meow,
Mom goes woof, and
Mom goes…
…
ew? Hmm!
*plays again* Mom goes moo,
Mom goes meow,
Mom goes cheep,
Mom goes ka-pow.
Kyon is now sweating, fearful of her own fate.

Kyoko đang giải lao sau khi vừa làm việc căng thẳng thì nghe tiếng Lav thất thanh từ trong bếp:
– Ôi khôm! Hết bi gòi!!!
Nó làm Kyo lảo đảo, suy sụp. Kyon sốc ngang, ngồi sụp xuống ghế bành:
– Bi! Bi, bi, bi, bi, bi, bi, bi, bi, bi…
Trong khi Kyon đang ôm đầu suy nghĩ, Lav chạy lại:
– Mình ơi! Nhà hết bia rồi, hấp tôm bằng rượu của Kyon nhé?

It’s Dog Day!
Kyon wakes up while the sky is still gray. She stretches, sees a pair of aesthetically beautiful legs, and feels good already.
My Kyon is already brimming with ideas.
– Super Sentai style. We gonna be a robot.
She puts Kokko on top of her head.
– Because she’s light. Then, left leg? Gotta be Stasera.
– Why?
– Why? I dunno. But it’s gotta be Sera. A twinkly left leg.
Right leg, Rikko. Because she’s sturdy.
The two arms can be swapped– What are you doing here, Patchyuyu!?
Before she could blink, Patchyuyu was already hugging her right arm.
– Aw, okay! You can stay there and I’ll have a stacked cannon arm.
The kids all go: “Yay!!”
– So, left hand JunJun, cuz I’m not very good with it.
– Aw man.
Promise you’ll be ambidextrous?
– Maybe one day. You can swap though.
For the right arm, a purple marshmallow underneath a pink-blue marshmallow.
– Wait! Isn’t it all purple??
Kyon tries swapping her bracelets.
– It’s still the same. Oh well!
– Boo, pfft!
– Stay tight, Kokko. Doing great. Really need some hair moisturizer!
It started out as a thought experiment of how to carry 5 kids at once…

Kyon bubbed and honked the Periodic Table Song, which is actually just a sped-up and pitch-varied Can Can.

So, we’re too tired to work in the evening… again?
– 🎵 Do ya wanna build a–
*slaps self* No! NO!! That’s a sisterly song!!!
We were going to wash the dishes. We rinsed and soak them in water. But…
– JFC. I’m not washing all this shit right now. *sigh* Do you want to build a snowman, Lav? *blink, blink*
– Uh, sure. Why not?
251113 0833
Lav xưng với bố mẹ là “lotl béo” và thả emoji :3 cơ đó… dễ thương hén.

Kyon is running Blender inside her brain. She’s testing some extreme jiggle physics, to which she blushes.
1347
– Woah! You look like my honey!
Mama Lav turns around to the source of the voice. She finds another mama carrying a lil wiggling babybirdy. On her left hand, a jar of…
– Honey?
– Yeah! Just look! Acacia. Check. Golden hair, check. *smiles* … Yeah, that’s about it.
– Hmm! Never thought about that.
– Now you do.
2135
Kyon is quite a glutton.
Lav is also a glutton, but with a smile. A 3-smile.
Is every one of us a glutton? No, not at all.
Take a look at Mary.
– Are you a glutton?
I hand her a fried chicken drumstick. The KFC kind. Not too good-smelling, but with its fair share of charm.
– No! I am small. I can’t eat much. Besides, I’ve just had dinner!
– Aw, okay then. Thank you, I’ll ask someone else. Rikko?
– Yes?
– Are you a hungry eater? *shakes drumstick* Nom nom nom!
– Yes!!! It’s mine?
– Yes, have it.
– Yay!!! *chomp* Mmm.
*hands it back* I’m tired of it already.
– What? No more?
– Yeah. In the mood for some veggies right now…
– But we’ve just had veggies!
– More! Or fruit.
– Fruit then. Pomegranate?
– Yum!
Mary joins for a mouthful of pompom, too.
– Nom nom nom!
251114 1205
Kyon is rehearsing for the thesis presentation.
– So, this gate modulates the ChiMPE…
Professor Lav raises an eyebrow.
– “Chimpe”?
She was supposed to be marking this. She turns around to see if anyone else has a clue.
– Chimpe? Chimpe, anyone?
Some professors shrug. Most remain speechless. (They’re kids.)
– Hmm. Better focus on the rest.
She draws a big red circle and a question mark at this section of the thesis.

A little duet as we roll up the mechanical curtains.
– Ước gì! Kyon là con thạch sùng.
– Ước gì, Lav là con thằn lằn.
251115 0937
I was strolling around the supermarket when I saw a lotl tryna sell ham at the deli station:
– Chúng tôi có cả loại ít muối đó, nếu cô thích! Hé hehehe hè.
I had to pull over.
– Madam, are you related to Beatrice in any way?
– No? *quizzaciously* Who’s Beatrice?
Another lady walks out of the walk-in freezer.
– Hi Lav, did you get any new customers?
– Oh, Beatrice! One just ran away.
2030
– Nah bruh, you gotta go there for hot dogs bruh.
– Aw yeah bruv.
They nod, chuckle, and rip open a beer (cider).
– [This bro… she kinda… pale? Mmph!!]
– [This bro right here… curly, furly, burly, and… murly???]
– [What a twink… Twinkie… Hm, I wonder what they taste like. Prolly sponge cake with cream. Wait… what if… they are butter cakes?!?!?]
251116 0724
Huh. These dreams do be new.
We were full of art. We exchanged art with our mamapapa.
– I think there’s a better term for that?
– Not now. Just jot it down first!
– Oh, ookay.
He was very old, but alive!
And we also showed alllll of our OC art to the art teacher. We be like the top dog. The star student.
The artsy one. That never happened irl tho.
– All of these art stuff… got refined when we grew up.
– Yeah, but, then again, we DID get some of the fundamentals from our lovely art teacher. Mrs. Ha!
– Yup! But all these OC stuff? Heh heh!
Yeah, and, um, so by the way, we came up with a guy called Chi Pheo and his pink-haired daughter called Lệ Nga or something. Can’t even remember her name on the spot… *scratches head*
We gleefully watched our teacher dwell on our OC concept art portfolio, our jewelry ideas too. We (mainly hyper Kyon who’s roaming free) also pushed him to go see our grandpa who “makes amazing art!” “Hurry up! He’s so old he’s gonna go to sleep anytime soon!”
We were so giddy we shoved over the chonky wooden living room table! Glad nothing was broken. But our (less stupid) brother scolded us.
Lav also got both a croissant and a meat bao bun for breakfast.
Also there’s this corn smut skinwalker who butchered a pig and took over Semmelweis’ flesh and bones but turned into a man to suit his self-image, and swears against all zombies. But we can ignore him.
He talks too. And Mary liked him. She was like:
“Wow! That dream was so cooool!!”
when we woke up from it.
Yeah, we did toss and turn quite a bit last night. Too hot, but Mary needs warmth, uncomfy, bla bla…
0817
Oh yeah. We forgot about Rikko’s custard berry tart. Well, today’s the day!
1546
Rikkon clenched her fist and shook it like she’s just got a sip of energy drink. In reality, she had a bite of the berry-studded cheesecake.
