[That ticking time bomb can wait for another day!]
Oh man, okay- [Luz is glad for the question.] A submarine is like an underwater enclosed ship. It can go suuuper deep into water! I've only seen them on TV or in cartoons, but they look cool.
[Luz nods at that, smiling at her girlfriend as they walk deeper into the surrounding woods.] Yeah! It's this underwater city, I think its under a special dome! I've never been, but I've heard a lot about it!
It is all self contained and magic based too! I have soooo many questions about that place. I heard the people down there are like fish people! Which is super cool, but did they always live down there or did they appear with the city? [Stop poking the 4th wall, you rascal.]
We're so gonna do like date stuff, but we can also start poking around too.
[Which could be a strange question - "hello, fish person, did you live here before or just manifest into existence?" - but it's not like they've never asked people weird questions before.]
We could make a date out of investigating the city. You know, sort of like the library.
[Not an official date, but it sure had been the catalyst for... some things.]
We'll approach it like we're writing a paper, they'll definitely want to answer then. [No they won't, girlies.]
Investi-date, a new genre of date. [Luz brightens several degrees at the idea, smiling as she leans in to press a kiss against Amity's cheek.] You are so cool. That's a great idea!
[A sign of some semblance of growth is Luz doesn't try to brush off being called cool.] Investi-dates are coolabrotive events meant for only the coolest, us, obviously.
Maybe we'll need like a new note pad or two for those kinds of dates. We'll see.
I see no problem with that. None! [Luz there are so many problems with that actually.] We're gonna be the coolest Investi-date detectives ever.
I'm sure if we pooled our spoons together later to maybe make some kind of bag that's infinite or we can pull at stuff from home through? That way we can always find stuff.
That's true, there's all kinds of things we could get here, whatever the method. Is there anything from home that you've been missing?
[She's still saving up for Ghost at this point, but after that, she has very little on her wishlist otherwise. Whether it be from Earth or the Boiling Isles, she's curious.]
[Luz has to think about that a little as they walk. Her mind jumps between missing her old bedroom, her favorite things between earth and the boiling isle.]
Would saying the rest of Azura series be weird? Back on earth at least, there were movies and a comic adaptation I had.
You seriously need to see the movies. They're must watch!
I had no idea... I don't think it's weird, though! What's really weird is that we only have the first book. [For them, that's downright bizarre.] I'll see if we can get the rest soon. And the comics. And the movies!
[She wants everything! She's like the only one who loves Azura on the Isles, or rather she was until Luz came around. The thought of there being MORE on Earth is so magical. (pun! intended!)]
Yeah! We gotta! You need to see all of it! [They have a new plan. The best plan.]
The movies are pretty faithful beyond a few character design tweaks, and that one big plot twist, but the comics go completely off the rails. Like, oh my goddd, Hecate gets a whole arc! I think there is subtext with her and Azura, like romantic subtext. [Now Luz is rambling about the Azura lore. There is no going back.]
[Luz only briefly unloops her arm from Amity's to move in front of her. It is a dramatic response, but Luz is well, Luz. Excited to share a passion with her girlfriend. This sure stalls their attempt to actually get to the picnic date, but Luz is lost in the sauce.
She reaches out to take Amity's hands in her own, clasping them firmly but gently. Clearly she's putting on an affect to sound like Azura, her expression serious, but passionate. She recites a speech she remembers fairly well off the top of her head from the movie.]
Hecate, between you and I, I know we can accomplish anything we set our minds to! The odds are daunting, and we travel a hard road, but we're together. We can find our friends and turn the tides-
[She squeezes Amity's hands in her own, embodying the energy she remembers Azura having in that scene.]
[Amity's cheeks are bright pink as Luz recites the scene, her eyes wide, deeply fascinated and enraptured by every word. After Luz dances back, it takes her a moment to wind down from that experience. She- she wanted to find their friends! Turn the tides! Work with Azura!
...Oh, right. This is real life again.]
Aw-aww, but I liked it! I bet it was perfect, word for word. [She expects nothing less from the #1 Azura fan ever.]
Oh well- [New discovery unlocked. Luz is now becoming a little flustered by Amity's reaction, starting to turn pink.] We could... pretend to be Azura and Hecate whenever you want? I mean, if you think its cool anyway.
I'm happy to go off script with you, you have super cool ideas.
[Amity's eyes widen, growing brighter. Seems that was a good suggestion.]
Oh... I haven't done that since I was very little. [Her "cool friends" weren't too interested in roleplay make-believe. Or acting. (Besides acting cool.) And it's not like she could have much fun at home, considering.] I bet we could write a whole movie on our own.
[Amity seeming to actually be interested definitely does a fair job of emboldening Luz further. A large part of Luz always wants to impress Amity, but... the two of them are on more even ground in a lot of ways. They've had more time to get to know each other. Relax around each other.
Luz knows she can be sillier with Amity and not need to worry about coolness.]
That just means we have to make up for that lost time in pretending. [Luz grins a little, still pink cheeked, but pleased.] We have a lot of cool adventures to make up!
[They're super uncool nerds together, and that suits them both just fine. Embrace it! Enjoy it! Amity's doing her best. (She still fully believes she's not as cool as Luz thinks.)]
We've had pretty cool real adventures, too. We can take inspiration from those. I bet Azura and Hecate would have loved sneaking into a secret library.

time for some silliness in a silly thread

You seriously need to see the movies. They're must watch!
yeahhhh big sillies

they deserve some silly as a treat

I think there is subtext with her and Azura, like romantic subtext. [Now Luz is rambling about the Azura lore. There is no going back.]
no subject
I can so see it! Whether it's friendship or something more, it's obvious they have strong feelings for each other. A romance is what they deserve.
[And they, as fans, also deserve-]
