[Video] — U/N: teacupprincess

[porcelainandblood]

[Perne has chosen to address the happenstance (i.e., being in Lunatia) with a great deal of professionalism. At least, as much as she can muster given the situation. Her device is propped up on a very standard table in what is likely her apartment. She sits in front of it, posture prim and proper.

Evidently she has been bracing herself for this particular conversation and even if she's not confident in having it, her tone remains even. Again, professionalism. Or at least the closest thing to it.]

It is to mine knowledge that this 'network' is capable of reaching all of those possessing the same device—in short, those of us referred to as Moonblessed individuals.

Some of you I have already had the esteemed privilege to meet. For those of you with whom I am not yet acquainted, I am Lady Perne de Archevauliere. Simply 'Perne' shall suffice if you have need to address me by name.

[Her posture is already straight, but it doesn't stop her from trying to straighten up even more. Her hands linger beneath the table, undoubtedly betraying her fidgeting as a means to keep such from creeping into her relatively stern expression.]

I have been adequately informed on the situation at hand facing all of us in the same role. Given the nature of this place, its currency and its resource, I have an interest in making an accord. That is to say, I am seeking voluntary candidates for this 'Moonlacing' that must needs occur. I have no interest in informal or inappropriate proceedings under such pretences. As such, mine standards for who I will accept will need to be met in full and to mine satisfaction before I shall consider any such agreement or accord to be in effect.

You may meet with me in person if you care to and do not trust me via visual. Mine requirements do not, however, require this to be part of the initial process.

[She might as well be hiring for a job with the way she discusses it. Who knows. Maybe she'll lighten up in time, but considering how stubborn and bullheaded she can sometimes be... mayhaps not.]

I remain in one piece for the time being.
By mine survival, I mean to agree with your second observation. If I mean to survive in this world, that means I must adapt to the rules requiring such here.

['Privilege' is not a word Perne would ordinarily use because she is privileged, but... Alexiel must be very much so in Lunatian standards, otherwise she might understand the struggle a bit more.]

Instant gratification may temporarily provide funding,
but would a long-term solution not be more satisfactory?
I have learned many brought to this world have remained here for close to a year.

[ Granted, she's always happy to help as it's her very purpose for being created, but she does worry what would happen to the mortal woman if she were to leave. ]

[Perne has absolutely zero interest in being stuck here for a year, but she very much suspects that she doesn't get to decide when she goes back home. It's likely about as involuntary as it was to come here in the first place.]

This address is for something long-term. Hence mine specifications and mine unwavering standards. I have more sense than to provide minimal survivability.

[It is entirely possible that if she was only looking for... 'instant gratification,' which sounds both demeaning and horribly repulsive, that she might not have the same standards. But then Perne never does anything halfway.]

Such a fastidious level of thought has gone into determining a suitable moonlacing partner already.
Is it common for mortals to be so discriminate? Is this part of your mating ritual?

Though I have known many a mortal in the Singularity's crew who lack that level of care and precision in their mating dance.

[ Mostly, she's thinking of one specific mortal, but thankfully, he's not here to bother this poor woman... ]

I was informed rather early on in mine arrival of the requirements here. I do not enjoy procrastination. Although I approach the situation like this, I cannot claim that mine kind would do the same. It is likely that it is mine preference. Do not use this as an example of what others like me would do.

[Perne to a proverbial T. Professional and to the point. But she's wound tightly. Probably too tight, admittedly.]
