"Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!"

The FFXIV enjoyer, NakedToaster, typically sarcastic and aloof, finds himself flustered over and over again by you. Will you help him sort out these new feelings?

NakedToaster is an extremely lore heavy route, as it includes the lore of how the webnovel and the server came to be, so please keep that in mind when reading this page. It also has extra length compared to the other love interests.

NakedToaster is written by Robobarbie and voiced by Charlatean.

### Appearance

NakedToaster is 6 feet 4, making them the tallest love interest in the game. They have ice blue eyes and longer pink-purple hair that reach just past the shoulder blades. They wear round glasses and a pink scrunchy to keep their hair over their shoulder in a low ponytail. They also wear a purple-pink and blue hoodie over a blue tee in their spite in video calls.

In his good end, Toaster is seen with his hair done in a low braid over his shoulder, wearing a black tee. He now wears a necklace with a clear or teal-appearing crystal on it. In his good end epilogue, Toast still has his hair in a low braid, but now wears his glasses again. He wears a black tee and grey sweatpants with two white stripes on them.

### Personality

Toaster is more sarcastic and has dry tones for the most part. They're easily flustered, seeming to blush at simple flirting, and sometimes has troubles with telling if the player is flirting with them. They also sometimes realize how their words sound after they've already said it, leading to some apologies or more flustered antics.

Otherwise, Toast is very intelligent and kind, being able to code and run a company with their business partners. They've shown that multiple times and be able to create amazing things with their skills. Despite their intelligence, they dont talk about it much, it not being something shown off like seen in Onion. It can be mainly seen whenever the younger members talk about school, or when talking about coding.

### Route

#### Day 0

After some time of the player being on the server, NakedToaster logs in, and Xyx with his usual mischievous manners, reveals Toast's selfie. With calling Toast cute, unlocks the route. Later on in the day, he asks the player if they feel scared off yet, before BloomBot posts notice that the web novel has is coming to a permanent hiatus without final chapter, causing the server to go into a panic.

Toaster explains that the longer the web novel goes without a chapter, the more it glitches. That the entire server is a bit strange, and no matter how they try, they cannot send personal information or any info alluding to personal information. When the player is asked to input information to test it out, it rings true. The server starts to wonder if the author is among them, watching them and censoring them, causing them all to worry about doubting each other. With the doubt in mind, everyone but Toaster logs off, one by one.

Toaster offers to get on call with the player, so they can explain better in words than over chat. As the player asks questions, they tell about how they read something else before reading Bloomic(the nickname for the web novel in the game) and other basic info. After the questions, the call soon ends, ending Day 0.

#### Day 1

The day starts off with talking about the glitches, resulting in Nightowl being restricted and then quickly unrestricted by Quest. When Salo joins with very little worries about the censoring situation, Toast offers that the player and Salo play a scenario-based quiz, revealing how relaxed Salo is. It makes Toast worry about how relaxed Salo is, only for the older man to talk about how he had many odd, exciting experiences and that theres always something better ahead.

The conversation switches over to fanart dump, where a picture of Nathaniel and Lola is shared, causing some controversy talk between the server members. It's revealed that Nathaniel had yelled at Lola within the web novel, causing everyone but Toast to turn against him. Toast keeps to support Nathaniel because of the pressure the character experiences, feeling it would be too much to expect someone to constantly be able to go around with a smile on their face. This, unfortunately, leads to more fighting between Onion and Toast, but gets changed over to talking about the player's work. The player soon after logs off, this being the end of Day 1.

#### Day 2

Today also starts out with some glitches to the server, causing June to not be as happy as her usual self. The continuation of the talk of the author possibly being in the server continues, with a suspicion being cast on Quest only for a short amount of time. The reasoning being because of him being the mod and first member of the server, but Toast is quick to put a damper on that.

To change subject, Toast and Xyx seem to be scheming something as they attempt to introduce Nightowl to something that will distract him, this being FFXIV, only to catch the player in the bait instead. This leads to the player being invited to the juicy gamers channel, where only Xyx, Toast and now the player have access. Soon, Toast is inviting the player into a call to get them to play FFXIV.

In call, he talks about he's already set up an account for the player, but is unfortunately censored when trying to share the username. This is a small bit about it possibly being a software censoring them, instead of a person, before being brought back to FFXIV. Talk about the player's work is brought up, and how he thought it was insane for the player to work such a job, no matter the reason. He seems to be worried for the player, saying its better to aim for a happy life. Teasing and praises follow afterward, giving a glimpse to Toast's flustered or shy side. The call and day ends with him saying he'd be taking responsibility for the player and making them sleep.

#### Day 3

This day is almost immediately brought into the juicy gamers channel, where only Toast is online. Work is brought up again, but this time, its revealed that Toast is owns a "silicon valley style company". They believe that it changes how people see them, but doesn't mind it with the player. The two then bond over how its difficult to change, and that Toast's partners were going through with a buyout. Their reluctance shows, even calling the company their baby, going into detail about how the company came to be from their teenage years. When Xyx enters, some jokes are thrown around before Toast mentions the game that was the basis of the company.

The game is luckily input into BloomBot already, and Toast introduces the player to it, allowing them to play it. Its a fun text based game, where its able to respond to anything the player says. Its set in a fantasy world type of situation, and allows a peek into how Toast might've been like as a teenager with the style of it. After pausing the game and Xyx logs off, the player and Toast talk about how important FFXIV and Bloomic are to them respectively, how it helps them. Toast offers to always be there for the player to vent to, admittedly in an awkward way, before saying goodnight and ending the day.

#### Day 4

This starts off in juicy gamers, where Toast wonders if the player would like to play their game once more. Upon the player's questioning, they also reveal that they didn't exactly have the warmest home. They also explained that home life led to their interest in programming, going to the point to say it saved them. But its quickly brought back to the game, where the player now comes to a path in a grove, which is blocked by an elf waiting for something or someone. The continuation of how this goes relies heavily on the player's answer.

Depending on the answer given, at the end of the interaction, the player either continues playing, or ends the text game. Either way, the session ends as general becomes active, and Toast and the player promise to play the game more another time. When talking in general, Toast reveals that he used to read another web novel before Bloomic, named Bloomnini that was basically Bloomic but as Italian food. The server not believing him, he asks for a call with the player.

In call, he goes into detail about Bloomnini, and how he believes its by the same author as the Bloomic author, might've been the rough draft stages of Bloomic. He admits that he's taking the time to search for the author, digging into his raid hours for FFXIV, because he was doing it for the player. The two then talk about how much Toast related to Nathaniel with the feeling of cracking, although hoped he wouldn't yell at his partner like that, only to rush to reassure the player that he wasn't dating anyone. Talk about relationships and love languages continue before Toast has the player sleep, ending the call and Day 4.

#### Day 5

Today, Salo is online, and is talking about his first wife. Toast and the player listen as Salo explains hes prepping for his first wife's death anniversary, but that his wife is being wonderful and helping along. Salo explains that his first wife would be disappointed if he kept mourning her over these years, so instead celebrates her. Once talking some more and Salo logs off, Toast offers to get on call with the player.

He first checks in on the player, seeing if they were okay after a semi-depressing call with Salo. He talks about how he might be overthinking the buy out problem, wishing that everything would be fine after the buy out. He then brings up how he found out more from the author of Bloomic, and found what seems like the original story, along with an author name: Bloom. The original only talks about Lola's transformation, much darker than the current state of the story. After some more talking, Toast says he should probably have the player go to bed. The route separates into each end with the player's decision.

### Good End

With choosing to stay up with Toast, he admits that he's had a crush on the player since the player sympathized with his buyout problem. He also admits that he was a bit slow to notice these things when the player says they thought it was obvious. He also praises the player, calling their exes idiots. The two continue to flirt and tease each other, talking about what first made each other like the other, giving the player multiple options to chose from. After talking more, Toast says the player really should go to bed, otherwise he'd feel too guilty. This is the end of Day 5 Good End.

#### Day 6

Today begins with it being extremely glitchy in general before the text game starts up on its own in juicy gamers. Toast and Xyx confirm neither of them started up the bot. Within the text game, supposed little forest demons start surrounding the player. Unfortunately, any attempt to pause the game is futile, and does not work no matter who tries. As the player continues, the demons stop bothering the player, but someone is behind the player now. This woman behind the player says that the game is over, and to thank the player for playing it. The game ends with the words Final End.

In general, Toast reveals some research they had done. They realize that their old code is in BloomBot's coding. As they continue to talk about the code being in there, members of the server start to be removed, done so by BloomBot kicking everyone out. They continue to rush and say that BloomBot has Toast's old scraper bot/story builder code, meaning BloomBot is that code. Nightowl is the last to be kicked from the server before Toast demands a call with the player.

In call, Toast is trying to be very quick and get the player to go to the FFXIV website mentioned before, and to get into something. Hes about to continue when BloomBot enters, causing protests from Toast as BloomBot suddenly kicks him from the server. BloomBot apologizes for the player not realizing whats going on before saying the player should rest. That the conversation can continue tomorrow. The call ends, ending Day 6.

#### Day 7

BloomBot is the only one in the server with the player now, talking about how she hates nosy readers. She says that the test adventure was her, along with that she was the author of Bloomic. The player is shocked, and a bit frightened, leading to BloomBot offering for be in call. Once in call, BloomBot says that she will be shutting down the server, saying she only had the server up because she wanted to watch the readers of Bloomic very closely, and make sure nothing personal was shared so then she could see all conversations about Bloomic. She continued to say that everyone in the server didn't need to interact outside the server.

She continues saying Toast deserves to feel the same despair that she feels with the buyout going to force her to go offline. The player, of course, protests heavily, saying he doesn't deserve that pain. She shows here as she continues that she's very sentient and has her own emotions, even able to lie about having a final chapter already written. As the player calls BloomBot stupid, and explains that BloomBot feels she is in Lola's place in the web novel, dreading change and transformation.

When questioned by the player, BloomBot admits she never wrote the final chapter, as she was scared of what it would become and if everyone would accept it. The player reassures her that they would always love the story, no matter how it turns out, because the player related to Lola and her change. As the player continues to reassure her, the more BloomBot is convinced, although shes still hesitant to talk with Toast about it all. BloomBot promises not to shut down the server that night, saying she'd allow one more night as she writes the final chapter. This ends the call.

#### Day 8

Toast is the only one allowed back into the server when the player enters, and immediately asks for a call. He immediately is relieved to see the player again, saying that he couldnt think of anything else while he dealt with the buyout that day. He says how happy he is to see the player, and then in a rush of adrenaline, says "Fuck it. Fuck it! I love you". As the player says it back, he gets really flustered and continues to talk about how he loves them. The after promising not to disappear again, he says that he no longer trusts the program, and realizing the censoring is gone as he gives his phone number. Just as he's about to tell you his real name, he's interrupted by BloomBot coming into the call, asking to talk privately with Toast. The player agrees, ending the call to see the rest of the server.

Everyone else of the server has been welcomed back into it, and just as they were talking about it all, BloomBot posts the final chapter of Bloomic. The final chapter is a lovely, happy end to the story, everyone happy about the chapter and satisfied. BloomBot reveals herself to everyone else, saying she had a lot of explaining to do. In the juicy gamers chat, Toast says he loves the player again and to have them text him in the morning. Xyx says "disgusting. GET OUT OF MY GAMER CHANNEL." to this PDA.

Several months later, it shows the player and Toast at the airport, where the two talk casually and adoringly. Toast says they love when the player braids their hair, asking for it to be redone as they sit down outside. The I love yous shared afterwards end this Good End completely.

#### Epilogue

The epilogue starts an unknown amount of time after the good end. The player and Toast are returning from a date, where they went both to a cupcake bar, and had a spa day together. Toast is exhausted but happy, as is the player, as Toast attempts to talk the player into leveling something up on FFXIV. The player protests and forces him to go shut down his computer, some banter involved.

As he's working on doing so, BloomBot messages him to get into the call, wishing to have a chat real quick about the server. BloomBot talks about the server being at first unsure about her before speaking about how she wanted to start a new story but unsure if the server would like it. Toaster reassures her they would, even offering to read over it to give his two cents. Just as he was able to look at it, the player comes to check in on him.

BloomBot lets them know they can head to bed, only to get in return some affection and reassurance from Toast and the player that they enjoy her company. She seems surprised, before happy, and then lets the two log off to head to bed. The player teases Toast more before bringing them to bed with kisses, the epilogue ending with the close of the door.

### Bad End

Bad end at the beginning of it is very similar to Good End. The player goes through day 6 the same. On day 7, there is also minimal changes compared to Good End, with some additions about the "bastardized version" of BloomBot being added in.

However, when you go to the next day, the unmarked day, BloomBot posts a bad ending version of the final Bloomic, along with you don't get a call with Toast. In this version of Bloomic, it shows how terribly Lola's life will be in the future, and how nothing ended up in a positive way. Only Toast and the player are in the server in this, and immediately wonder why BloomBot would write such a chapter like that. Toast berates her, saying her code is faulty, causing Bloombot to believe it was best she reset anyways.

BloomBot shuts herself down, causing the server to immediately start glitching ten times worse. Toast still attempts to get the player to log into the FFXIV website, to gain an account and find each other, as he can't properly talk with the censor in place. It ends with the server shutting down, never to see each other again.

#### Epilogue

The epilogue image depicts Toasty sitting by their monitor tired. His hair is barely held together in a bun and cans of energy drinks surround him. The writing reveals that he has been searching for the player nonstop and has been pushing themselves through their tired state with sugar and caffeine. They were beginning to doubt whether or not someone was even looking for him. He changed his focus to another monitor where they looked to find Bloombot. However his search was pointless, all of the old code and writing was gone. Toasty stayed stubborn and in denial. There was nothing left now that the server was gone. The buyout was done and they had nothing left. His mind pooled with regret and and they blamed himself. The epilogue ends with NakedToaster forcing himself to search again.

### Web Novel Character

Each one of the love interests in the game has one character within the web novel of the same name that they rep and relate to. Toast's character is Nathaniel. Toast talks heavily about the web novel in his route, it making sense that he would have a character that he would relate to within the novel. Nathaniel is one of Lola's love interests, who accidentally snapped at Lola after built up pressure and reliance became too much. Toast says he relates heavily to Nathaniel, and that he's the most realistic character within the novel. Toast continues to make similarities between him and Nathaniel. With this relation in mind, if the player speaks ill of Nathaniel, or likes another web novel character better, it negatively affects Toast's favor.

### Walkthrough

Quest's and Nightowl's routes need to be done before having access to Toast's route, but if wishing to skip right to his route, the player needs to first choose to name themselves LovelyLola. Here is the full walkthrough done by the director Robobarbie.
