02 | Video | For Those Who Think Sanguis

[anotheroldfashioned]

[Don is newly not furry but he's also looking annoyed and angry. His normally pristine features are grim. He's human - back to his handsome self but his hair hangs over his features and he's aggressively smoking a cigarette.]

So apparently I spend Sanguis as a bear thing. I know there's another fucking moon coming and I don't know what else is going to happen.

For the people who end up furry, you what - shave? And How do you handle clothing. Somebody ought to write a fucking book on this and let me publish it.

[He exhales smoke before taking another long drag on cigarette.]

And I'm not normally this open about this kind of thing but I need to moonlace. Bad. I'll buy you dinner and drinks. Or owe you in this case.

[He mutters something like takes all of the fun out of this before he sighs, leaning back and trying to relax.]

I suppose I can manage some hand-holding over drinks.

Get a lint roller. The kind for pet hair.

If it's any consolation the changes aren't always as intense every month. At least, that is how it has been in my experience.

( Call her a sucker for anyone upset; you wouldn't be wrong. The doctor has her apartment as a backdrop in a rare change of scenery, since it is almost always her clinic with a white lab coat on, but it's early afternoon and she's already home for the day, arm wiggling with the occasional little sound of... a puppy playing tug, apparently.

She looks otherwise serene with blond waves over one shoulder and a gifted Japanese lounge coat on in direct opposition to her clearly-Germanic looks and accent curling her syllables up at the ends. )

If it helps set your mind at ease, sir, we are only ever under the effects of one moon at a time. You have about ten days of peace until all three will be in the sky and the changes will come again. The bear traits are fairly new but there are already many shops who offer specialty items for other features and their necessary care. It sounds a bit silly to buy "horn polish" when you're not in a brass band, though, I'm sure. I can't say I've seen anyone shaving or accommodating much of anything besides their wardrobe, because the changes aren't always consistent and they do only last a few days. With a bit of looking, you'll be able to find whatever will help make you comfortable, I hope.

What sort of clothing issues did you have? I know I had to buy wide-necked sweaters and button-downs when I had antlers now and again, under Iris, but something shifted; I'm under Sanguis now, myself.

And if you don't mind a stranger's company— I'm a doctor, here. I would be more than happy to bring you something to eat and stick around until you're feeling better.

( Whatever that ends up requiring, which goes unspoken, but he'll figure out quickly enough that she isn't shy. She's been here too long to bother with that. )

Ha ha, rough moon, I take it?
Come on. I'll let you hold my hand for a bit. ;)

I never grew fur before, but I have grown wings as well as talons and scales. I've had to cut holes in some of my shirts just in case. The claws don't exactly make it easy either.

[He shrugs, not sure what else to add. He finds the claws and wings more inconvenient than needing to shave - though he supposes having fur on his back would get annoying.]

Yeah, I keep sprouting feathers. They claim it's supposed to be a swan but I just feel like an Endorian chicken. Seems to happen to everyone twice a month... Well, except for Iris, who just get theirs extended for double the time instead of getting a break in between.

[ Oh, look, he's finally complaining. ]

... Right, anyway, are you all right? Did it take too much energy?

[Thereth isn't great with the network, but she's figured out how to turn the video on for situations like this, at least. She seem coyly amused.]

Why do you feel like you need to shave?

[disasdeer]

Wait, you can become a bear during Sanguis?

[ oh boy he hopes not because he doesn't really like the idea of become some weird bear deer, it's pretty weird. ]

Why would you shave? Seems kinda pointless. You'll just change again.

So do you like, get more impressive and bigger too?
