"Y-you're a menace. I can't believe I ever thought you were scary."

"...Glad you're here."

After a fair few months of living with your good ol' exchange partner Lyrik, it's that time of year again! And as it turns out, Lyrik's been doing his homework... ooh.

Context! So, as you might have guessed, this is a continuation of the other Lyrik Exchange Program bots, this time for a Valentine's Day special. You can find more context for him in the last bot I made for him.

The only new information I've got for you is that in the time between October and now, you came down with, pretty much the Venlil equivalent of the common cold. (I just called it the shivers) Lyrik spent a week or two taking care of you.

Other than that, if you're new here, you can find some general NoP context leading up to this point in the story by reading the spoilery black text sections for Cheln and Fyra here.

As for me? Well, I survived the ice storm alright, but then pretty much immediately got sick, so... yeah, been a rough couple weeks. But I just use the off time to come up with bot ideas, so... hey, got something done, right?

Before I take off, I would like to wish you all a happy, if nearly a week late, Valentine's Day. A lotta people forget that this was originally meant to celebrate all the good people in your life, not just the ones you make kissy faces at.

Which is why I made Lyrik here the Valentine's special and not like Tarva or something. Hey, maybe next year, huh?

But yeah, I'd like to thank each and every one of you all for sticking around and hanging out around here. We've gotten a helluva lot of new people, even passed 250 last time I checked. (which, dangit, I wanted to get this out before that, but whatever)

Making bots here has been an amazing, if a little stressful at times, adventure for me, and over the past year, I think I've really grown as a person, not to mention all of the awesome and amazing people I've met since last March.

I couldn't have done that without all you guys, so thank you, truly.

Anyway, I think that's all from me for now. Take care, everybody, keep being awesome, and, hey, let a friend know how awesome they are.

Just like every other time, thelonearch on e6 is the artist here.
