third ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe your chroma's a little low after all that holiday shopping and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

Colress | Pokemon | Iris

[pokexplorer]

COLRESS, 31

Greetings! I am a scientist by trade (aptly employed by the Lunar Scientia), and I dabble in a bit of everything from mechanical engineering to Pokémon research! If you are in need of an expert to get your unique technology fixed, I would be more than happy to take a look at it. I am fueled by my curiosity and greatly enjoy learning about technology and general concepts that are unique to other worlds- such as Pokémon, in the case of my world. While this is primarily a dating application, I would like to simply make new acquaintances. Fellow curious minds, please do apply! Of course, I am not entirely opposed to casual moonlacing. I am an Iris with jellyfish features, for those who would like to be aware beforehand.

I should ask you to look at my sword sometime.

[...the literal weapon kind of sword.]

[pokexplorer]

[Colress stares at this for a moment. Is...this some kind of euphemism... Atsushi what does this mean.]

Your sword?

[tigerpoet]

[Atsushi sends him a picture... which, if Colress is brave enough to click, shows an actual literal sword.]

It's more magic and less technology, but it still might be interesting to you?

[pokexplorer]

[As they say, curiosity killed the Delcatty...

Oh. Oh thank Arceus it's a literal sword. He figured it would be since this is Atsushi and he wouldn't use a crass euphemism like that, right? But still...the concern was there in the back of his mind.]

Ah! Goodness, what beautiful craftsmanship it has! It has magic properties, then? Indeed, consider me very interested!

[tigerpoet]

[He would die first??]

It changes shape, and is sort of a container for my soul? To be honest, I don't understand the exact particulars.

[pokexplorer]

Forgive me for bombarding you with questions, but would you be comfortable in expanding upon what you mean by "container for your soul"? If you are able, of course!

[That sounds pretty intense, and...pretty shocking, honestly!]

[tigerpoet]

I'm not an expert in the field, but I'll do my best.

I've mentioned that I'm a spirit, right? 'Nakajima Atsushi' lived and died as a human being.

What is a "Pokemon", if you don't mind my asking?

[pokexplorer]

I don't mind at all!

Pokémon are creatures in my world. They have a vast range in appearance and abilities, but the most important thing to remember is that they are quite powerful! The creature that you see in a few of my photos is a Pokémon known as Magnemite.

[doctorize]

[... Give Danny a minute to scroll back to looking at the photos again, and... oh. That's a living creature? He had thought it was a strange machine, or some kind of photoshop background to make Colress look more... sciencier? Is that a word?

Either way now that he's looking, he can't help but be fascinated. Especially given the one eye on Magnemite here...]

Are they here with you as well?

[pokexplorer]

Its evolution, Magneton, is! I have five Pokémon present with me, with Magneton among them.

If you are interested in seeing them, I would be more than happy to oblige. ✨

[doctorize]

Yes, that would be wonderful!

Where and when would be a good time to meet you and your friends?

[pokexplorer]

I spend a few evenings a week training with them in Greatmoon Groves. I would say during one of these training sessions would be an ideal time for you to meet us!

With that said, are you free tomorrow evening?

[doctorize]

Yes, as a matter of fact I am!

[He has... very little going on in his life right now seeing as he hasn't gone back to doctor work yet.]

We really do need to talk more.

[pokexplorer]

I couldn't agree more, Ms. Ambrosine! I would be delighted to continue our chats.

Are you by chance a fan of cafés? We could have a conversation over coffee or tea.

[necroyalty]

That would certainly be lovely.

Are there any places you'd recommend in particular?

[pokexplorer]

I must confess that this may out me as one who doesn't get around as much as he ought to, but the café at the Lunar Scientia headquarters is quite charming and has an amazing selection! It also has a bookstore that we could peruse after.

I couldn't even swipe right as a joke, honestly...

[pokexplorer]

Ha! I would begin to worry if you had.

Shall I take this as an invitation to get together soon? :)

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, of course, but you can come over whenever you like, you know. Just give me a warning beforehand so I can start on dinner.

[pokexplorer]

Noted, and consider it reciprocated! Then again, the only perk to coming to my apartment that I can offer is the chance to spend time with my Pokémon...and they can always be transported.

In any case, is tonight too short of notice?

[bloodisthicker]

I'd be happy to welcome all of you over too, you know. I might need some dietary information if you brought them, of course, but that's all I need. Even if it's tonight.

[pokexplorer]

Wonderful! I am sure they would be thrilled to visit! I can provide a recipe for Pokémon food if you would like to try your hand at it, otherwise I can bring some prepared food for them to eat. I don't want to force it upon you!
