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.

I've heard about that... and I don't think I'm really qualified to talk about that until I experience it. [ Although, you know, she HAS experienced having false memories placed into her mind in order to make her think she was in love with someone, so just having inhibitions removed... at least has the appeal of it being genuine and at least your own feelings. ] ...but does more complicated mean 'bad?'

[penpoint]

It's not good or bad, necessarily. Just needlessly frustrating. And - you must be new here, then?

[inducings]

Very new.

But I can understand how relationships that get started without everyone fully intending it can be complicated.

[penpoint]

Personal experience?

Bet of luck, too. It's a little different for everyone, I know.

[inducings]

[ Pass on answering that. ]

Sometimes I think relationships are complicated no matter where you are or who they're with, if you're going to try to take them seriously. There's something about the meeting of people's heart's that's just... messy.

[ And goodness knows, her mother loves the drama. ]

[penpoint]

Heh.

People are messy. Sometimes that makes them interesting, though.

[ Does he notice the dodge? Of course. ]

[inducings]

[ He shouldn't be surprised at the dodge - after all, this is very public, and she has no idea who she is talking to, and matters of the heart are always dear. ]

People are interesting and relationships are complicated. Sounds like what you're describing is just like every other place I've been, if -- more intense and... random.

It's not. Think of the moons as removing any restraint you may have over your impulses, and depending on which moon it is - it is a different impulse.

Inhibitions are gone. So it's a little messier than a typical, average place occupied by humans.

[ Says the guy who's life has really been anything but average. Close enough, though. ]

[inducings]

Inhibitions are gone under he influence of the moons, but not for everyone? And only for the duration of the moon's influence?

And do you mean all inhibitions? Or just the ones having to do with lust and love and relationships?

[penpoint]

Now, that is something I can't fully advise simply because it differs from person to person. For me, it is most impulses and not always involving lust, love, and relationships - though those impulses are removed from time to time, too.

How it impacts you may vary from month to month.
