[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.]

Quite. I have to wonder if they were like that before they came here or if this place has left them entirely uninhibited.

I could not even begin to say. You sound as though you have a bit more sense, it seems. All the same, if it worked for them, then I suppose I could not begrudge them terribly. At least, they may have been taken more seriously than I have been.

[Perne is wound too tightly for the Lunatians, evidently.]

I did not think it would be this difficult to make an accord.

...It is something you have to get used to, I think. It is something of a necessity, so perhaps it is better to adapt to the local culture, but... I cannot say I am entirely comfortable with it, even now.

[She frowns.]

I confess that I am not particularly interested in 'getting used to' it. [Not that she may have a choice, which makes her frown even harder.] I have accepted that what must be done must be done. I cannot claim I have much of an investment in it beyond that. I am not terribly fond of others in mine personal space. It makes all of this rather... inconvenient. I doubt very much I am the only one here like so.
