two, two, two posts in one; 4/6

[ hey, it's a prismagram post from 1stQadrMargaFan! you know, that one c-plus/b-minus-list influencer who's always posting magic tutorials, fashion selfies, food pics, and random animal encounters. (well, not so much recently, but... yeah.) ]

Hello, First Qadr!!
Thank you all so much for your comments and messages over the past couple of weeks. I can't believe I went three entire days without responding to anything! 😳 But I always read everything you send me, and I will try to answer you all as soon as I can. 🧑🧑🧑

But now I must make an important announcement!
✨ Starting today, this account will be going on indefinite hiatus ✨
I will keep comments open, but I won't be posting any more pictures or videos. This is just a personal issue and there's no need for anyone to worry! πŸ¦‹πŸ˜ΈπŸ‡
I want to say thank you again. Your support over the past several months has meant more than I can possibly express!! You're all breathtaking, with and without your Moonheld and Moonblessed traits! Let's all keep doing the very best we can to look out for one another! πŸ‘‹πŸ₯°


[ a few minutes later, there's another post, from another account: laurea. this one's video. long antennae and parts of the colorful underside of a pair of butterfly wings are visible on the subject (who doesn't appear particularly jazzed about them). ]

Hello.
Ah... this message is primarily for my fellow Moonblessed. For those who don't know me, I am Titus Alexius.
I have been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and... I think that we ought to, if possible... that is, to the extent that it is possible...

[ deep breath! ]

I think we should stop moonlacing.

[ and now the hurried qualifiers. ]

We need to do a little, of course, to survive. Obviously we should all feel free to do that amount. But beyond that minimum, we should most likely refrain.

[ he hunches his shoulders and looks down!! ]

This will certainly be a great sacrifice... and terribly difficult, especially during the moon cycles... and no doubt quite unpleasant in many ways as well. For some of us more than others. But while the effects of chroma generation initially seemed exclusively beneficial, with the very worst of them still being harmless, it is now more than clear that there are others that are neither predictable nor safe.

[ now he shuts his eyes. ]
...All of Port Sylvel paid the price for that. And many perished in the subsequent battle as well. We cannot bring them back, but we owe it to them not to let it happen again.

[ another deep breath. then he opens his eyes and looks back into the camera. ]

At least that is what I think.
I would like to know what all of you think.


[ there's a slightly awkward pause!! ]

...On that note, I am also looking for work.
I am willing to do anything, though... physically demanding work is probably best avoided, unless you don't mind its being accomplished poorly and only after a likely unreasonable length of time.
Nothing that requires moonlacing, either, though I suppose that much is obvious.

...
And that is all. Thank you!

[Huh... Weird that this is coming from Titus, of all people.]

I can't really say I know a ton about the subject, but isn't this the first time something like this has happened? Moonblessed have been here for awhile and nothing like it has happened before, right? It's possible it was a fluke. A really terrible fluke.

I get that you want to help, but I'm not sure we really have enough information to decide to stop moonlacing all together. And besides, a lot of people really like moonlacing. So I think it'll be pretty difficult to get everyone to agree to stop.

[With all of that out of the way...]

Did something happen? I thought you were pretty okay with moonlacing.

Oh. Huh, that's the first I've heard of those. Sorry about that, I definitely made way too many assumptions there.

[He at least manages to sound slightly apologetic!! That's really the most we can hope for here.]

I see. Trying to do what's best for people, even if it means giving up on something you like...

[Hmm.]

Well, I think it's good of you to open this up for discussion with everyone. The people who have been here longer will likely have more to say about it.

Hey, c'mon, no need to worry like that. We're friends, right? I'm not mad at you.

[...we've had exactly one conversation before this, but we're definitely friends??]
