@LVRIME Practice run, huh? Poor guy XD
Is it cheating if I volunteer a robot?

1. So I'm getting brOTP vibes here, ya feel? Like baby's first crush, like this is the friend you can't decide if you have feelings for, and maybe she knows maybe she doesn't, but she gives good advice and you like hanging out, and you don't wanna ruin it, but maybe you do, and maybe it doesn't work out in the end, but your friendship is strong enough to endure that. Lantern is perfect for that. She's super chill, but very sweet. Very girl next door vibes.

2. Ok, when I say robot, I don't really mean robot? She's a ghost living in a construct body, and she doesn't have a lot of dating experience either because she doesn't remember a lot about her past life. (And her current dating pool is so small. All she has for friends is her fellow ghost constructs and the necromancer who summoned her, who is basically her dad.) They're operating at about the same speed, is what I'm saying lol

3. All of Lotus's friends tell him crushing on a robot is a bad idea, but the heart wants what the heart wants. The fantasy bubble is going to pop one day, but they can have fun while it lasts.

First Date: Awkward, I'm sure lol. They probably make the mistake of doing dinner, so they don't know what to talk about and just end up going to a movie instead. Despite it all, they still manage to have a good time.

(Also I'm so sorry if this is too weird for you, it occurred to me after typing all this that it could be interpreted as weird lol. I promise she's a fully sentient being with her own will and personhood, she just happens to be made out of metal.)
