[pidgeypidge]

Has anyone seen any stars or constellations they recognize? I've been looking, and I haven't seen a single thing that seems familiar.

[It's a little disappointing, honestly. And she's been here for roughly two months now? How is that even possible?]

Comments

[darkcharge]

No. None of the pathways are working.
They just loop right back to this place.

[pidgeypidge]

[Say what now?]

That's disappointing.
What do you make of this place?

[darkcharge]

[ Don't worry. He knows most don't understand what he means. ]

You have no idea.
Honestly I don't know what to make of this place.
There's interference and I'm not sure if it's just the planet or maybe the people here.
I'd say the moons aren't something that you see every day but each World is different.
Who is to say there aren't more Worlds out there that have similar effects?
There also doesn't seem to be any real criteria as to who receives what blessing.

[pidgeypidge]

I've been to other worlds. But none of them were like this, at least that I can remember. The moons are definitely unique, and I've been trying to learn as much as I can about them. A group of my friends from home are here, and most of them are Cordis if I'm remembering right.

You're right, though. It does seem pretty random as far as who gets what blessing.

[Or maybe the natives just aren't telling them everything.]

[darkcharge]

Each one that I've been to has been unique in it's own way. Different magic. Different rules governing what is possible and what isn't.
Most of the people I know are of Iris. A few are Sanguis, but not so many are Cordis.

[pidgeypidge]

I can't really claim to know much about magic, but I've had a similar experience with pretty much all the worlds I've been to.

For what it's worth, my boyfriend is Cordis and some of my closest friends are also Cordis. Now that I'm thinking about it, though, maybe it has something to do with a person's personality. Which one are you?

[darkcharge]

Iris. And what it forces upon me is nothing like how I am.

[pidgeypidge]

Oh.
Yea we... seem to have drawn the short straw there.

[darkcharge]

Meaning what for you, exactly?

[pidgeypidge]

You seem intelligent enough, so I doubt you need me to go into detail.

[darkcharge]

I wasn't really talking about anything indecent. More like the personality changes.

[pidgeypidge]

[Sometimes, she forgets it's not Lance she's talking to. Oops.]

Oh, yea the random urges to freeze up or bolt are just a barrel of laughs.

[Not to mention the irrational want to be close to people when she'd otherwise have been fine on her own.]

[defendure]

well...if someone could recognize a constellation from this position on this planet, though, they'd already be familiar with the three-moon system, right? i feel like that would have come up before now, but you're right that someone might have kept it quiet.

[pidgeypidge]

Right.

[Unfortunately, it did seem like something they'd have been told already unless it was being kept quiet for whatever reason.]

I'm really just grasping at straws, I guess. It's just frustrating being stuck in a place I don't recognize. Again.

[defendure]

again?? sorry, that might be rude to ask, but...

[pidgeypidge]

I'll make you a deal.

If you really want to know, I'll tell you. But you have to buy me lunch or something.

[Mostly because she doesn't feel like getting into all of that over the network. But also because she's starting to get hungry.]

[defendure]

oh, sure, that's fair! did you want me to meet you somewhere?

[pidgeypidge]

[Oh, well, that went a lot smoother than she was expecting.]

Great! And uh, why don't you pick someplace and let me know. I'm feeling adventurous today.

[defendure]

[ Look, he's a fairly easygoing person on the whole and he is the one asking for information...it's only fair he trades something, right? ]

i think there's a place selling something like katsudon...do you mind going there? it's my favorite.

[pidgeypidge]

I have no idea what that is, but I stand by what I said.

See you in a few?

[defendure]

sure! i'm the guy with green hair. and freckles.

[ That should be descriptive enough, for all he's pretty plain. ]

[pidgeypidge]

[To be continued~]

[darkcharge]

Freeze up or bolt?
I've never experienced that.

[pidgeypidge]

Indeed. And I feel like it's probably safe to assume that you don't grow fluffy ears or a tail, either.

[She's more curious than anything, honestly. The moons affect everyone differently, after all.]

[darkcharge]

I grow those and a small set of tusks.
I've seem others with antlers.
