chocolate chip, biscotti, Dutch letter, and fig roll for Yume, Minami, and Phoenix?

Chocolate Chip: What smell reminds you of your childhood?

💙 Yume  💙 :

“The smell of the beach! The sea water, the sand… It reminds me of when me and my dad would go to the beach and go out in our boat. Since I moved to Westerlyn, I’ve kinda missed the beach, but I get to see it a lot when I travel! The beach brings out a childlike joy in me. I should invite the other Lunar Bond members to the beach soon!”

💕Minami 💕:

“Old books. Like, really, really old books. My sister used to take me to the library in Upper Lake when I was a kid and I’d listen to a storyteller every Sunday afternoon. I’d never actually rent books from there like my sister would, but I’d play with the other kids and talk to the storyteller, who was always nice and she would bring homemade cookies for all of us. Fun times!”

Phoenix:

“This is probably gonna be a little weird, but… paint. The smell of wet paint that’s drying. Also, the smell of crayons. And pencils. The smell of clay. Just… art materials. My mother was a very talented fine artist. She’d spend hours upon hours in her studio, painting or sculpting or drawing. It was normal to not see her for up to a day at a time. But the work she made was incredible. You could see her feelings in every brush stroke and every mark in a sculpture. It was through my mother’s work that my young mind started to understand art. She’d sometimes even make paintings of my favourite book characters or little clay figures of my favourite cartoon characters for my birthday when I was younger. I can’t really go into art stores anymore. They make me a little… emotional.”

Biscotti: What languages do you speak? Which one feels the most intimate to you?

(Note: As the Lunar Bond isn’t set in our world but features human characters, the names of countries and languages are different! As this aspect isn’t fully planned and completed yet, I’ll put the closest to our world’s equivalent as their answers, but I may do an updated version when I plan it out more)

💙 Yume  💙 :

“Hmm… I’ve travelled a lot, so I can speak quite a few languages, but none of them are fluent. I’m pretty good at French, German, Italian… but for the most part I can ask for directions or for food in a cafe and that’s about it. An intimate language? Oh, I absolutely adore the sound of Italian. It’s so pretty. I’ve used a pickup line on Chase in Italian once but then I realised that he learnt Spanish at school, not Italian. It was kinda embarrassing but he didn’t seem to care!”

💕Minami 💕:

“I’m pretty good at Japanese as my dad’s family still live there. I’m still pretty rusty at my reading or writing skills though. And I’d also say it’s my most intimate language as it reminds me of family. It’s a little part of who I am, you know? Those family members mean a lot to me.”

Phoenix:

“I… don’t speak any other languages. It’s kinda embarrassing, actually. Yume and Chase speak at least one language to a basic degree and Minami is virtually fluent in Japanese speaking, and Alexis is learning French in order to speak to an online friend… So it’s only me and Lavender who can’t speak any other languages. I’d like to learn another language if I get time to. Maybe Minami can tutor me… I might be biased because I’m monolingual, but English is my most intimate language as I can take in what is being said to me. But I do really like the sound of French.”

Dutch Letter: If you could decorate your room anyway you wanted, how would it look?

💙 Yume  💙 :

“Oh, I’ve thought about this for the longest time! I’d cover one wall in photos from my travels and photos of me and my friends as a feature wall, and have a glittery, custom king sized bed! I’d also have a big, sparkly shelf unit full of trinkets and souvenirs from different countries and a walk in wardrobe to keep all my clothes and shoes in. Oh, and a pink rug. And a dog. I know a dog isn’t room decor but I always picture my dream room having a dog in it!”

💕Minami 💕:

“I’m the kind of person who thinks that less is more, so I’d have plain yellow walls, floating shelves with books and trinkety bits on, and a double bed with yellow patterned sheets. From the ceiling I’d hang little fairy cutouts and I’d have bunting on one wall. I’d also get a huge houseplant to put in the corner. It wouldn’t be a massive room, but not too small either. I’d maybe also have a comfy chair to relax in as well.”

Phoenix:

“I’ve never really had to design a room before. But I’d like white walls, as any accent colour looks good with white, and one entire wall would just be shelves to put my books and things on, so I can look at them. There’d also be a snug in the corner to read my books in. I feel like I’d have a blue accent colour, as blue is relaxing, so maybe a blue rug and blue bed sheets, and I’d paint the wardrobe and drawers blue as well. I’d also get a few cacti and succulents to dot around the room and my shelves because I like to look after plants. I have no idea if that would look good, but it looks very “Phoenix” in my head.”

Fig Roll: What promise do you wish you could take back?

💙 Yume  💙:

“Oof, we’re getting into the heavy stuff all of a sudden. This question makes me sad. I’m not the kind of person to make promises I’d want to take back, but… I’ve done it before. I promised my little sister I wouldn’t move out and leave her on her own, but I ended up running away. Maybe I want to take it back because I broke it, and I know that makes me a bad sibling. She’s probably never forgiven me for what I did. I want to see her again so I can apologise, but she’d be furious… Haha. I don’t really like this talk of sad stuff. Let’s try and lighten the mood again!”

💕Minami 💕:

“Oh… At school, I promised this one girl that we’d be best friends forever. I wish I could take it back because I didn’t see how she was using me, and talking about me behind my back. She’d spread my phone number to everyone and they all texted me horrible things. I never suspected her of doing such a thing, but all the signs were right in front of me, even when I made such a dumb promise to her. Maybe I was feigning ignorance or something. I know it’s dumb to think about that promise as something serious, but it really reflects my ignorance at the time. …And as for promises to my family, well… I don’t really want to get into them. It’d make it depressing.”

Phoenix:

“Promises I want to take back?… I don’t feel the most comfortable talking about this kind of thing, because I don’t make many promises. I wouldn’t promise someone anything if there was a slight chance that I’d want to take it back. You see, I don’t really get close enough to people to make promises in the first place. And I wouldn’t promise something to someone I don’t feel close to. I don’t trust other people’s promises, so I don’t make them in case I can’t fulfil them.”
