[ A video comes on, and in the frame is - what may seem to be a familiar face. Now, he looks a bit different from the last time he appeared. Instead of the rabbit and deer features, he now has pointed black ears and a fluffy tail that barely appears in frame. He is fully dressed this time, but he comes bearing what he thinks to be an important question. ]

So...I need some advice. I'm Sanguis and now I need a new bed and mattress.

[ A long huff. ]

Because mine are totally done for. Like destroyed. Casser sa pipe. I had no idea something like that would happen even though I knew I was stronger.

So, I'm taking recommendations. I'll tell them you sent me, maybe they'll give you a discount or something.

Until then, I'm sleeping on my couch. So the sooner the better, I guess.

[ and into view is a familiar face, holding up a hand in greeting ]

Hey there buddy, what the fuck did you do to your bed? Have a puppy dream?

[kingfuckboy]

[ He laughs because...if only. ]

Haha, no. ...Will you believe me if I say wear and tear?

[getstoned]

Well, I didn't want to go there at first, but since you did...

Have you considered that there are other options than always using your bed? Being creative is half the fun.

But your bed dilemma, maybe something a little more grounded probably, or just good old fashioned heavy duty wood.

[kingfuckboy]

Yeah, I know. It's just where things ended up and combined effort destroyed it.

One on the ground might be a good option. I just need something less fragile.

[getstoned]

Oh yeah? Were you rasslin' with another sanguis?

Definitely go for mahogany, none of that weak ass pine or metal.

[kingfuckboy]

Nope. Not a Sanguis, though easily as strong as I am when I'm Sanguis and I broke a couple other things.

Mahogany. Oh, I think this one was probably pine, so definitely agree. I mean, if I had known it'd break that easily, I probably wouldn't even enter the bedroom.

[getstoned]

Impressive, sounds like you had a real fun night of it.

Hey, sometimes the unexpected happens. I haven't had to deal with this particular issue, but then again I haven't been wrestling down any sanguis either.

[kingfuckboy]

Yeah, despite the bed. You'd think given the moons, they'd go with something less fragile.

Well, I had been Iris before this month. It's not like I'm used to being able to rip out door knobs and stuff like that.

[getstoned]

You would think, but maybe they couldn't imagine some of us would just go wild with everything I guess.

For real? The puppy look really suits you tho, so the change isn't so bad. Just like a big adjustment.

[kingfuckboy]

...I guess so.

Haha, you're not the first person to say it. It's not a big deal, but they're pretty different in how they feel.

[torsion]

I take it you're pretty aggressive, too, when the moon comes around?

Anyway, my suggestion is to go out and give em a go yourself. Everyone's body is different. And their preferences, too.

text;

[kingfuckboy]

Yep. I am. Stronger, too. I was Iris before so it's a really big difference.

[torsion]

Well, shit. That must be frustrating. I'm sorry.

I haven't changed myself but I can imagine how rough it is.

[kingfuckboy]

I don't mind a lot, just...some surprises like breaking furniture aren't the coolest.

Though you win this one - not changing would be better.

[torsion]

Ha ha, that's for sure. The pricey surprises are never the best of the lot.

Oh I meant changed what moon I'm under! The best I've got is I haven't changed completely into an animal. Although I wonder if that might be easier on someone than some of the things I've seen going on here?

[kingfuckboy]

i thought that's what you meant :)

it'd be way better to not change moons, though

...i prefer sanguis to be honest

maybe in a few months i'll get a shot to try cordis too ;)

i haven't fully changed into an animal but my last iris i was both a deer and a rabbit and it was very weird

idk if it would be better to be a full-on animal seems like it'd be frustrating to become a cat or a rabbit or something

[chichichi]

You had no idea, hm?

[ Her voice is rich with a not so subtle amusement as she lifts a cup of tea to her mouth. ]

[kingfuckboy]

How could I predict that combined efforts would result in this?

[chichichi]

I'm not sure whether that should or shouldn't be taken as a compliment. Maybe you could clear that up for me while I try to remember the name of the place I bought from?

[kingfuckboy]

It's a compliment. I thought that they'd give us something sturdier knowing this was possible.

[chichichi]

That's very generous of you, JJ.

[ Is she talking about the compliment or the matter of a sturdier starter bed? It's anyone's guess. ]

The store I got my bed at is at [ insert the address here ]. It has a wide selection and the stuff is quality. As far as I could tell, the prices were mostly reasonable, not that Chroma is an issue for you.

[ It... also didn't hurt that Setsura is a keen businesswoman and an excellent negotiator, but details. ]

[kingfuckboy]

Yeah, Chroma isn't an issue, as you know.

[ Hear that? That amusement in his voice? yeah. ]

But -- the recommendation is appreciated. If it can withstand you [ He doesn't say it, but she probably gets that there's an implication: and your boyfriend ] then I'm sure it's good.

[chichichi]

[ Oh, she grins. Denial? There's none. ]

Make sure you get the warranty.

[kingfuckboy]

This is the best piece of advice I've gotten today.

[chichichi]

Careful. There's still time for me to charge.

[kingfuckboy]

Aw. Well, you know I have the Chroma.

[chichichi]

You aren't concerned I'll be unreasonable?

[kingfuckboy]

Should I be?

[ winks ]

[chichichi]

[ A soft snort. ]

I wonder.

[kingfuckboy]

Going to leave me guessing?

Alright. It's not like I have a choice.

[chichichi]

I'm sure you have a rich imagination.

[ In fact, she just might put it to the test soon. ]

[kingfuckboy]

It's very active.

[ he waits for it ]

I'm so creative, you know~

[chichichi]

We'll see about that.

[babygotbackstroke]

Um, I have a spare since my apartment came with a guestroom. Do you wanna borrow it till you find one you want to get for yourself?

[kingfuckboy]

oh!

that'd be great
i can even come pick it up!

probably on my own even given the lil bit of extra strength right now

[babygotbackstroke]

True, but I'll help anyway. You'll need another set of hands to maneuver the frame around, right?

[kingfuckboy]

true

that'd be great

i mean i can sleep almost anywhere but like
waking up earlier is harder when you've spent the night on the couch
you know

[axemeaquestion]

You're Sanguis too, huh? One of my friends from home showed up not too long ago, and he's one too.

Maybe you ought to invest in a mattress protector while you're at it, J.J.

[kingfuckboy]

[ Amused laugh ]

Why would I need something like that~?

[ playful hum ]

I haven't been Sanguis the whole time. It can change.

[axemeaquestion]

Becaaaaause you would be slightly less likely to destroy your next mattress?

What do you mean?

[kingfuckboy]

I was Iris up until the first of this month. So...that can change.

[axemeaquestion]

... Huh. I didn't know that was a thing.

[kingfuckboy]

I just found out it was, too. Surprise!
