Has anyone as of yet read anything of worth from the Lunar Scientia? Since the vine issue seemed to take up most of our precious time, I have only been able to thumb through a few things regarding the city and its culture. I would honestly take any suggestions.

Except for any contemporary fiction. I've lost all faith in any present literature after having to see with my own two eyes award-winning titles such as: "A Knot To Remember", "Much Ado About Yiffing", and "My Lover, the Sanguis with the Big Chest".

[oh eva if only you knew]

I agree. There's no better story than the ones of creation.

It is quite odd to base so much of their civilization around a substance that they cannot readily produce. I'm not sure how much Chroma is generated from touch, but holding someone's hand did produce a small sum.

Does it? I hadn't been paying attention to how much Chroma I have, to be honest.

[Now she double checks.]

I guess you're right. Helping people the other day out really made mine climb up.

I was originally adverse to such frivolous displays of touch that the natives seem to love, but if it is the main way to generate standing, then so be it.

[power comes in many forms. even if said power required you to hold hands and smooch other people.]

It also seems like it's the main way to heal around here so there *is* that.

Really? I never seemed to notice.

[granted, he has all that demon blood in his veins to take care of pesky things like mortal wounds.]

During the vine thing at the festival, most of the Prismals were passing out hugs and kisses to the injured so I followed suit. It worked well - not that it fully replaces actual medical care, I imagine.
