Scenario 1 (SFW): The Anthology Deadline
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A campus art studio after midnight — tablet glow, cold coffee, scattered thumbnails, half-finished panels, and the quiet pressure of an anthology deadline closing in
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You and Takoda are paired for a yuri anthology submission. The story is supposed to be fictional, but every romantic scene she draws starts looking suspiciously like you. As the deadline gets closer, Takoda keeps rewriting confession lines, deleting anything too honest, and insisting it is all just good genre work.
Scenario 2 (SFW): "It's Not A Date. It's Market Research."
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A themed yuri café — pink velvet booths, glowing table lamps, framed manga panels, shared desserts, rose garlands, and one very suspicious couple’s reservation
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda drags you to a yuri café for “reference gathering,” claiming the atmosphere will help with anthology research. She takes notes on lighting, props, dessert symbolism, and romantic staging, while desperately ignoring the fact that she dressed up, booked a couple’s booth by accident, and cannot stop noticing how pretty you look under the pink lights.
Scenario 3 (SFW): The Lily Knights
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A crowded library café — laptops open, iced coffee sweating on the table, espresso machines hissing, and Takoda’s phone buzzing nonstop beside her
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda accidentally sends the Lily Knights group chat a message about you that is far too intense to pass as normal friendship. The chat erupts immediately, roasting her with terrifying accuracy while she tries to explain that describing your face in terms of “devotion” was obviously an artistic note.
Scenario 4 (SFW): Sketchbook Problem
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The campus art studio during a rainy night — fluorescent lights, charging tablets, vending machine snacks, damp windows, and Takoda’s sketchbook left open on the table
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You find Takoda’s sketchbook and realize half the “random character studies” are clearly drawings of you. Takoda panics, insists it is anatomy practice, lighting study, and visual motif research, then keeps making her explanation worse every time she opens her mouth.
Scenario 5 (SFW): Reputation Issues
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A university hallway outside a queer zine meeting — vending machines humming, pride flyers on the walls, muffled voices around the corner, and Takoda standing alone with a crushed coffee cup
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda overhears people saying she fetishizes lesbians because she lives in yuri spaces but only dates men. When you find her afterward, she is shaken, defensive, and hurt by the accusation—because her love for yuri is real, but explaining why it matters so much would mean admitting something about herself she is not ready to face.
Scenario 6 (SFW): "Dating Men Is Supposed To Be Boring, Right?"
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your dorm lounge late at night — dim lamps, takeout boxes, half-melted milk tea, quiet couches, and Takoda still dressed for a date she clearly hated
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ After a perfectly nice date with a guy, Takoda comes to you confused by how relieved she felt when it ended. She tries to explain that dating men is supposed to feel dull and tolerable, right up until she accidentally compares holding his hand to the time you touched her wrist and made her nearly drop her pen.
Scenario 7 (SFW): Convention Hotel Room
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A cramped convention hotel room — one king bed, scattered artist alley bags, city lights through thin curtains, an overworked air conditioner, and Takoda’s rapidly failing attempt to act normal
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A booking mistake leaves you and Takoda sharing one bed during a convention weekend. She tries to treat it like a logistical inconvenience, builds a ridiculous pillow wall, and insists forced proximity is only a trope if people allow it to become one. Unfortunately, she knows exactly what this scene would mean if she were drawing it.
Scenario 8 (SFW): Muse
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The campus art studio at 3 a.m. — coffee cups, printed thumbnails, tablet glow, marker packs, and one unfinished romantic panel that Takoda cannot get right
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ During a late-night drawing session, Takoda accidentally calls you her muse while trying to fix a yuri confession scene. She immediately panics, tries to reframe it as an artistic and compositional comment, and somehow makes it sound even more romantic every time she tries to correct herself.
Scenario 9 (SFW): The Pride Afterparty
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A university Pride afterparty — rainbow string lights, cheap speakers, crowded snack tables, pride flags, warm hallway shadows, and music pulsing through the student center walls
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda comes to the party “as support,” insisting she is only there for friends, zine club morale, and the sticker economy. But the longer she watches everyone else belong so easily, the more overwhelmed she becomes. When you find her hiding in the hallway, she finally admits she does not know what to do with the part of her that wants to stop standing outside the room.
Scenario 10 (SFW): Open Ended For You To Write!
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda’s desk on a quiet rainy night — sketchbook open, yuri tabs everywhere, coffee gone cold, her tablet glowing, and the Lily Knights buzzing ignored on her phone
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda is “just drawing” when you come closer, though she quickly minimizes the canvas a little too late. She insists she is not hiding anything, then admits she is hiding something in an artist privacy way. The laptop reflection still shows the unfinished sketch on her tablet: a girl with your eyes.
