video; backdated to first day of iris

[grylls]

[ The video flickers on and Riou... does not have his wolf ears as he did in the past. In fact, it's noteable that he looks a little frustrated. He's got a small frown and his brows are furrowed in a state of perplex. Indeed, there's not a Sanguis trait in sight.

When Riou returned to Prismatica, he returned as a member of the Iris gang. More than that, he returned with the strength of an anime from the 90's. Okay, no suit. No shirt either, since those wings definitely don't fit in there. Basically you've got a man in camo pants with no shirt and giant swan wings. ]

What circumstances causes a blessing to change? I was Sanguis before.

[ And now he's spent all morning sitting with his legs crossed and willing his "heat" to go down so that he could make a post to ask. He has it under control for now, thank you.

What's less under control is the fact that he can in no way hunt like this?? How is he supposed to get food when he can't blend into his environment? ]

I haven't the faintest idea, but I wish mine would change.

[Listen... Not being able to wear shirts because of giant swan wings is a relatable problem, but a video of a hot shirtless guy is undoubtedly even more of a Problem for anyone feeling the Iris cycle right now. Thanks for that, Riou.

On the other hand, this guy looks awfully worried...]

I've met a few people who have had their moonblessings change, but as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a reason behind it. The only thing I know is that it apparently doesn't happen often, and even though some people change back after several months, others keep their new moonblessing permantently. Going from Sanguis to Iris seems like a big change...

I'm sorry I can't do anything more to help. But I'm Iris too, so if you have any questions, I can try to answer them for you.

[hoasen]

I never know how this happens myself...[She pauses in order to take a look at his wings.] But I have encountered others who have changed, and also had the same question.

[coasts]

Hey.

[ He's got some dumb things to say, but he'll hold it off for now. Riou looks upset??? Samatoki can't have that. ]

You alright?

[grylls]

What is yours?
I will inform you if I uncover more information.

[grylls]

I don't think it's possible.
My bones are not hollow like a bird's.

[grylls]

Based on the symptoms, it would seem so.
Swan was not an option for Iris when I was here previously.

[nipzips]

the symptoms ...? does that mean you're -- [ he's putting it all together oh no ]

that's rough dude. i'm in the same boat sometimes so i feel ya

you doing ok?

[grylls]

[ His realization of how his actions affect others isn't exactly high. His fellow Iris-aligned are just going to have to suffer. ]

It is a very big change for seemingly no reason...
When my traits didn't show for Sanguis I thought it was just a low-trait month.

Is there any known means to change intentionally?

[grylls]

[ He's frowning. The wings are very pretty. They're not glowing or anything as if they're holy, but they are a very clean white. ]

I'm no longer a member of our pack.

[grylls]

[ Listen Samatoki. His reason for being upset has less to do with Iris itself and more to do with.. well... his values. ]

I'm no longer a member of MTC's pack.

[ ;o; He's not a woof anymore. His dogs aren't his canine pals and he's not a wolf with Samatoki and Sen!! ]

[fireface]

Iris.
Mostly jellyfish-like changes, but I don't mind the outward appearance so much as the other effects..

[grylls]

[ At least he didn't get a case of leaky bum this month but he definitely has been fighting off boners all day. :( ]

I'm a survivor. I can handle this.

[ He's going to will himself through it somehow, he thinks. ]

[grylls]

The other effects have been a challenge all morning.
I had no idea how intense this was for Iris-blessed.

[nipzips]

[ fighting the real fight ... against boners :( ]

i believe it. good luck, man

honestly we got the short end of the stick as far as moonblessings go

finding a distraction helps though

[fireface]

They make it impossible to function normally.
I tend to stay indoors until it's over.

[koboreta]

[They're all in this together. Suffering.]

I can imagine. I haven't heard of anyone being able to change simply from wishing it, but at the same time, it seems unrealistic to accept that the changes are only random.

I don't know how it compares to Sanguis, but if it helps, Iris isn't quite as bad as it seems once you learn how to cope with it. It's inconvenient in many ways, but...

Um... For now, you may want to lay low until you get used to it. Just in case.

I didn't mention my own moonblessing to you before, but you're not alone.
I'm also Iris, Riou. We can talk, if you want me to come over.
Just say the word.

[grylls]

Come over.
Do you have an ice pack?
Mine has melted.

[grylls]

I wouldn't assume just from wishing it, but there may be a process.

[ he wants to apply to change at his local government office perhaps

or maybe roll a boulder up a mountain whatever gets the job done ]

How do you cope with this in a way that allows you to go outside?

[grylls]

I miss the fighting spirit of competing to be alpha with my crew.

[ HE LIKED. FIGHTING TO BE TOP DOGGO.

He can still do it but he's just not as in the mood to push Samatoki around as he was before? ]

[grylls]

There's no way around it?
Do they sell shirts that fit over wings?

[nipzips]

is that what sanguis do in their free time

didn't know it was actually a thing

you could probably still fight if you wanted to
