I have a question. Consider it a bit of a survey or questionnaire. I'm curious. I want to remain anonymous, so that people feel like they can safely remain anonymous, as well.

What does love mean to you here? What did it mean to you at home? Is it different for both?

Relationships are seemingly more complicated here than they would be at most of our homes. I was wondering if others felt the same.

How are you managing it here in a place where it does seem more complicated? Are you doing the same things you would have done if you were at home?

Thank you for your time.

How do people who come here from completely mundane lives manage? My heart would give out.

[penpoint]

Who knows. I mean, yeah, this place is still a bit odd, but at least I can start to manage some aspects of it.

[tigerpoet]

At least we've gotten used to the furry parts by now.

[penpoint]

For the most part, yeah. I mean, mine change nearly monthly, but I still know to expect them.

Varied symptoms from the same moonblessing, or actually different moonblessings? I've seen people vary between standard Cordis-kitsune and standard Sanguis-dragon, but I've also heard that people can switch moonblessings on rare occasions...

[penpoint]

Same Moonblessing. It's been pretty inconsistent from month to month. How much it impacts my behavior, how hungry I am or not. Every little detail has been different since arriving.

[tigerpoet]

Mine have been like that too, even when I have standard Cordis symptoms. It can be difficult to plan around, sometimes.

[penpoint]

That's what I'm seeing - that it's difficult to plan or assess what I'll need. Do I need extra food? If I get too much, will it go to waste. Everything like that.

But it's not just that, you know? I'd like to be prepared, even if it is the same awful things month to month.

[tigerpoet]

I haven't had an issue with the food going bad yet, but then Cordis usually affects my Chroma more than my appetite.

Do you live by yourself, or do you have a roommate you can send out for grocery runs?

[penpoint]

I am going to be living with someone else who is Cordis. As it were, if things start to go bad, I'd have to cook and freeze them.

Still, it's been a bit of a pain to have it be so inconsistent.

All I can say is 'good luck'. And that I hope to be able to talk more about art with you someday.
