Hey everyone. I hope you had a fun festival. (´｡• ω •｡`)

I saw some people lose their bracelets during that time, and it makes me really worried about other Moonblessed. Do you have someone you can contact if it gets... bad? I'm pretty lucky in that regard, but I don't know if everyone else is. And some people are young, which makes me even more worried about what might happen. Nobody chose to be here. So you shouldn't have to be put in a position where you feel that desperate, alone, and in pain.

And also, it's only happened twice that I've seen for folks, but... some people turn into full animals. What about people who are jellyfish? Will they just transform, alone, and die? I should talk to the researchers about this. It's pretty messed up.

I guess what I'm trying to say is be safe. It feels really shameful when it's happening, but it's not your fault. I'm an older guy and I've been through a lot and I don't want others to have to do it, too.

Suddenly I’m feeling like I got off a bit lucky by just ending up a bit furrier and a bit of an idiot during Cordis. I do have to wonder how helpless you can actually end up in a situation like this, though... I seem to remember running into someone who suddenly gained the power to manipulate ice, so I feel like it might be somewhat unlikely that someone would end up as a jellyfish dried out on the pavement.

I don't really know anything about Cordis. Could you tell me about it? One person said they had cat ears.

That's good. I really hope they'd be protected in some way. My lady friend, a fellow Iris, had electricity coming off her when she was at her worst. It was kinda scary.

I ended up with fox features instead, so... ears, tail, claws, teeth? I think I remember it feeling kind of like I was mildly drunk the whole time, because I was really self-indulgent and cheerful about basically everything. Also people seemed more attracted to me than usual.

...but yes, I'm glad that didn't happen to me or anyone around me. That's... definitely something, alright.

[codecmoment]

People more attracted to you? Like... pheromones? Or is that just your interpretation?

[bloodisthicker]

It's kind of hard to say, when you put it like that. Maybe I should try and see if I can meet up with anyone with a serious cold next time and see if they're more attracted to me or if I'm just imagining it all.

(o´ω`o)ﾉ Or you could do a before and after - someone you know who is neutral or not into you, for example. Get a sample size of like, three people, I guess. See what happens.

That's not a bad idea, actually. There's also the difference between seeing someone in a photo or video on the network and meeting with them in person, which could also prove it one way or the other?
