Mary stops by during the first day of the new product run to give her a pat on the back, and tell her how the industrialized production from becoming 3M1LY was necessary to scale up. "You might not be Lus anymore, but thanks to you, now her signature flavor and smiling image can be on every shelf!"

Awww... Thank you! 🥰

I love how she manages to rock such an extreme toyification with such normalcy and even a certain sort of elegance, and the idea of her living full-time all lovedrone'd up.

Yeah... 🥴

I'm already thinking that maybe next summer I get a piece of her and Lus underwater together in their aqua-drone forms, enjoying a life of leisure following them both getting conversions as a (permanent) souvenir!~

The fictional Reine feels like a bit bigger/more dense of a city than the pictures and a bit cartoonishly over-the-top (with the whole Viking ship), but there's definitely a vibe to it!

And the sona/character thing is both a problem and kinda not? Different settings, same personality/interests.

The fictional setting of the game is known as Fœnum, but Lus is from the fictional nation of Cervidia because anthro and pooltoy bou wouldn’t fit and also because I like the way it sounds better.

Any similarities to My Little Pony’s Equestria is ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL.

Lus’ design is loosely based on Velvet from the fighting game “Them’s Fightin’ Herds”, which spun out of a My Little Pony fan project & features a cast of various quadrupedal ungulates (but NO equines). Velvet is from the city of Reine, the reindeer capital, so sometimes Lus’ lore “borrows” the name

Hehe. I feel like pictures of that made the rounds a while back…

And I’m not sure when I’d have the time/money, but it does seem like a beautiful part of the world for a meandering road trip.

As for Lus lore… Lus is both a sona and a character in her own right, so it’s a bit of a mess.

Ooo… that’s a gorgeous view.

As a reindeer who also owns several 3D printed miniature Utah Teapots just because she finds it funny, I think that checks out?

Hehe. Everyone in my cast gets hit with the rubber bucket at some point!

But Gwen had been hit by the rubber bucket earlier, and I hadn’t felt that way about plain rubber Gwen. It was Bounce’s capricorn-drone TF sequence and Shin’s modular lovedrone ref that had me going “Goshhh… I want to be that”

“Yes.” :3

They very much appear to be a real person, with a fursona and a presence on other platforms using the exact same handle.
