[ What's better than not sleeping in the early hours of the morning? Finally poking around on the network and continuing the trend of not sleeping. ]

hey so new guy here
sort of i guess
for the second time anyway?
or maybe it was more than that and i just can't keep up haha

right okay
a couple Qs for the pros

1. is there a catch to all this?
don't get me wrong but the whole moonlacing thing ?????
and just being here in general i guess
seems like some weird buildup to plot outta left field
can't be any worse than a few games i've played but you know

2. how often do people just leave and come back and can you ever get those memories back?
is there a way to like pass that stuff on?
mostly asking for a friend
that friend is not me this time lol :)

and uh
less a question and more a request i guess
if anybody's looking for someone to help with whatever drop me a dm
got plenty of skills but if it's photography i'm totally your dude

oh yeah the name's prompto by the way ✌️ let's be friends 🐤✨

Depends on what do you mean as a 'catch'
moonlance = chroma = money/energy/survival
Tho there's some weird stuff that pops up that messes around with it

you can get some extra demi-chroma and chroma with that photography skill of yours
I'm a part-time model around here so you should be able to find some gigs and earn a nice sum

I can't really answer many of your questions yet, I'm new as well. Photography sounds interesting though! Is it a hobby or your job?

[Or both perhaps?]

Ah, a photographer! Well met Prompto, I'm Toh'ni.

I can't offer steady work, I'm afraid, but if you'd be willing I'd like to learn more about the craft. I'd be happy to pay for your time.

[devilbreak]

How the hell are you even awake right now?

[burstmodes]

yeah i got most of that before
i guess the last place i was before this made me paranoid haha
sorry

[ Be cool, Prompto. Be cool. ]

you know anybody i could hit up?
no wait...
what kinda stuff do you model??
or dyou mean like just your face?

[burstmodes]

it's all good don't worry about it 😊

oh um
more of a hobby right now but one day it'll be a job
like my dream job you know?

[ Even if he's done some work prior to all this, but he doesn't think it counts. ]

[burstmodes]

hey toh'ni
nice to meet ya!

always happy to help people learn more stuff
what do you know?

[burstmodes]

just thinking i guess
what are you doing up??

[ DON'T READ HIS STUFF AHHH ]

[dvine]

That's fine :D
You were somewhere else before this place? Is it similar?

Me?
Mostly clothesline
you know, fashion?
So I suppose that includes face too
Sometimes they take pictures of my hands if I need to model a watch or some jewelry
Something like this

[Without even Prompto asking, he sends a picture)

[devilbreak]

I had to see a man about a horse.
Thinking about getting old memories back?

[Too late.]

[burstmodes]

not exactly
i wanna say it was worse but i haven't been here long enough yet

[ Also, it's sort of complicated? And embarrassing? ]

oh man that's so cool
love your style dude 👉👉
i guess i'm more of a behind the camera type
love me some selfies tho

[burstmodes]

uh huh sure

and nah
i mean...
wouldn't you wanna know what the other you was up to?
or i was thinking maybe it could work the other way around
you know for other people?

[healingraen]

That's very kind of you, Prompto. :)

Right now I can't say I know much of anything about it. We didn't have technology like this where I come from. Would that be a problem, by the way?

[Not that he's given her that impression in just a single question, but it occurs to her that teaching a total beginner might not be an ideal way to spend one's time.]

It's involved with the work I do, so I think it would be wise to have a better understanding of what's involved, even if it's only a basic understanding.

[dvine]

Well, here it's not that bad
unless you're really attached to home
the moonlancing can be a bit tricky at times

OH! Moonblessings! Watch out for that too! Beginning of every month, it happens

[Which reminds him that he should probably stay put for a while as a sanguis]

It's not that bad, but it gives you some animal features and odd urges
usually you can control them

[Keep telling yourself that Kise]

Thanks!
Wow
That's
Actually first time someone complimented my picture like that
:D I'm glad you like it
I won't mind being your model if you want to ✨✨✨
Selfies are ✌😎🥰

[devilbreak]

Yeah, don't go into the bathroom for another few minutes.
Not safe in there anymore. ;)

Yes, and no.
I'm curious, but I dunno if that'd help me or make stuff more complicated.
They say ignorance is bliss for a reason, right?

[burstmodes]

nah
that's not really a bad thing
knowing nothing i mean
everybody's gotta start somewhere right?

[ This isn't his first rodeo either, and he can't say that people who have the tech are naturally inclined to being good at it. So. ]

is there somewhere you feel comfortable meeting?
we can go over some stuff and learn hands-on
best way to do it in my opinion 😊

[healingraen]

I completely agree!

[Man she lucked out. This looks pretty promising!]

You mentioned that you're still new, so if you'd like to pick a familiar place I can meet you there, instead? Otherwise, one of the parks on level two might be easier, less crowded and all.

[burstmodes]

DUDE 😤

[ Good thing he loves likes you. ]

yeah but that can be just as bad as not knowing
i've been thinking about stuff and
i dunno
i guess it was a stupid thing to ask

Text | un: sage

[jamjarnpc]

What do you define as "a catch"?

[burstmodes]

it's cool
i'm good with meeting at a park and going from there
plus that's a pretty good place to get in some practice

[burstmodes]

you know
there's more that they're not telling us
what you see isn't what you get

that kinda thing

[burstmodes]

i haven't been home in over a year
so i kinda missed that boat a long time ago
but thanks

uh...
oh right
that explains a lot

[ Mostly just seeing Noct the way he had the first time, but he isn't sure how he feels about the rest of that. :( ]

haha i'm not sure i could pay you or anything
but i guess if you wanna get together for a shoot or something...

[jamjarnpc]

We do suspect there's more to it and that their ignorance may be dishonest. But there isn't any proof of it, only theorizing. The Moonblessed have been able to live in Lunatia without any secondary effects other than certain disabled abilities, at the very least.

[provenforce]

I think the moonlacing thing is the catch. That and the "blessings." Some of them are a lot more like curses.

And I'm Rey.

[dvine]

Oh sorry man :(
I haven't seen home either, since August so I know how you feel
partially at least

yeahhh
so just be on the lookout for those :)

Hey no need to pay me :D
Besides, paying here is in chroma so a hug would be fine 🌺
I was just offering to help you start out
you know, build your portfolio
have something to show off when you're being hired 🙃

But I like taking pictures in general too
So selfies are ✌✨
