Video, UN: Bardicuncertainty [Backdated to the 8th]

[The woman in the video is recognizably Pidonus, in spite of one very obvious difference to those who know her. Yes, more obvious than the fox ears on her head.

It's the lack of her hat. And it feels weird to her.]

So, uh. Cordis moon. I guess this is a thing.

I've got fox tails and ears. And I can't shapeshift them off. That's. A thing I'm not used to. It's not like I used my shapeshifting much, I generally like my form, but having it suddenly restricted is kinda...

How do I word this? It's like there's a mental block on something that wasn't mentally blocking before. And it's like. It's harder to want to do stuff like this?

Also, uh, I think I'm hungry? That's really weird for me. And other desires I'm used to having under control?

This is very awkward to experience all at once.

... Anyone got any advice I haven't already likely heard?

[It might be...a bit difficult to recognize Akechi, with the white and red fur and fluffy fox ears, to say nothing of the fact that he's apparently shirtless. But when he opens his mouth, that's very definitely Akechi's voice coming out of it.]

I can give you advice on good places to eat. Moonlacing might also help, since Cordis blessed just burn through energy much faster than anyone else.

[spacegoat]

I have moth things! It is very fluffy!

[ She sounds delighted. ]

I can understand that it is weird, though. Especially if you could change before. But it is not permanent, no? That is a good thing.

As for advice, this is my first change, but I find that eating is very good! It helps the feeling. So does all other things that make you feel good, like a long bath or doing things you love a bit excessively?

[have_hat_will_travel]

That... Would be handy, yeah.

And part of the, uh, concern is, well. Part of me wants to be hyperdominant?

That's not a good thing when I'm trying to keep to principles like 'no using my enchantments on people'...

But it sounds so fun and...

[have_hat_will_travel]

They don't replace your arms at least, right?

Eating... That's a weird one for me, but I guess I should probably. Resort to it?

[spacegoat]

No! I do not have the wings, just the fluff and the antennae. It would be very tricky to not have hands, no?

Do you not usually eat?

[have_hat_will_travel]

I mean, yeah.

Certainly, more inconvenient than having to take special effort to fit in a normal chair.

And no, I normally don't need food or water. I can eat, I just usually don't need to.

[foolishjustice]

It sounds like you just need to find someone who enjoys being submissive. As long as you get consent for everything beforehand and have a way to let each other know if you need to stop, what you're describing doesn't sound like a problem.

In fact, dominance and submission seems like a pretty popular kink, considering how easy it is to find restraints meant for it.

Play twister!

[ Yes she took Meteora's advice to heart. ]

[have_hat_will_travel]

... I mean, I guess you're right? It's just a very awkward-seeming place to be.

Never mind the restraints and such. Not sure what I think about those...

Re: video; un galettepride

[have_hat_will_travel]

Play... What?

[She's confused.]

[foolishjustice]

It can be, when it comes to suggesting it. But you might be surprised. And if someone isn't into that, they can just say no.

You won't even be shamed for looking elsewhere, unless you promised exclusivity. Having multiple partners is treated as perfectly normal here.

[theleonking]

Twister! It's a game of contortion and balance!

[spacegoat]

I always have a tail, so it is not strange to me... I can understand that it must be for others, to sit in the chair with a tail.

Ah, but it is very fun to eat! Many different tastes and experiences. You should try it? Maybe it will make you feel good?

[have_hat_will_travel]

I... See?

Sorry I'm just not getting the connection having never seen this game.

[have_hat_will_travel]

I understand food, I just am used to being able to pick and choose when I bother.

Like how I like being able to freely change my shape normally, something I'm now denied.

It's stifling somehow, you know?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Yeah, I'm adjusting to that part still too...

I'll be honest. My previous assumption has been that anyone voluntarily agreeing to be influenced by my powers is someone with some issues that should be worked through. Just, why would people want their will played with, you know?

[foolishjustice]

I...mostly prefer to be the one in charge, so my perspective is limited. But, I do know that some people are attracted to power. Plus, the idea of giving someone complete control over you, while knowing they won't use it to hurt you...I can imagine it would feel nice, to be able to trust someone that much, and have it vindicated.

[theleonking]

It's played by a few people at once in a really small place so they wind up crawling and falling all over each other. Moonlace and compete at party games at the same time!

[trivialization]

The effects seem to vary even in the same person between moons, but your type sometimes has powerful aphrodisiac pheromones.

So the 'doing stuff' might come to you instead.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Oh.

Oh.

That's. That's a bad thing.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Okay that actually sounds neat.

And like it was marketed to people much younger than the target audience should've been.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... I'd be scared of anyone trusting me that much honestly. I don't deserve it.

[foolishjustice]

...I know how you feel. I have trouble trusting myself a lot of the time.

[His ears sweep back in discomfort, then he shakes his head.]

But, people seem to take that as more reason to trust me. I've been told that if I was really that bad, I wouldn't be worried about the possibility of taking advantage of someone.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... For me it's as much about not being sure about my full nature.

Am I only trying to be good because I'm scared of others' ability to punish me for being evil? Or do I actually feel like people are worth it on a deeper level than is normal for demons?

It's not an easy question, and tempting times like this don't help.

[foolishjustice]

You could try finding someone willing to give you a chance, and someone else they'd be willing to have around to intervene if you do try to do anything selfish. If you don't find yourself wishing you hadn't invited the third person, you probably care for reasons besides just not wanting to get in trouble if you get caught.
