[ Despite how nerve-racking the thought of addressing all Moonblessed is to Kougyoku, she pushes forward with her plan to post on the network. This is important, after all. A dragon's basic needs are at stake! So the feed opens to a simple yet elegant room, a young woman in regal robes at the center of it. ]

Good evening, I am Kougyoku Ren. I am a new arrival and I'm not familiar with this technology at all, so I thought it would be best to use the clairvoyance function on this... phone. [ A beat. ] No, I'm sure they called it something else... [ PEEKS AT HER NOTES ] Video! Yes. That aside, I have a few questions regarding these dragons in our care.

Firstly, what do your dragons eat? I have been feeding mine fruit and he seems to like it very much, but I am worried if some foods are poisonous to him.

Next, how large have your dragons grown? Mine is— [peeking over her shoulder as it chews on her long red locks. Its features are aquatic in nature, what with the fins for ears and the jewel on its forehead. It also has a beauty mark under its left eye.] —the size of a large dog and I am curious if it can grow any bigger. Will it still fit on my bed?

Finally, what did you name yours? I can't decide on a name for mine. Whoever can think of a good one gets a small prize of their choosing! ... I haven't decided on the prize yet, but there will be a prize!

If you have any answers, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you! That is all!

[ The princess holds her position for a moment, fiddles with the buttons, and... ]

Phew! [ The dragon stops chewing and scampers off as Kougyoku slumps against her chair and places a hand over her chest. ] Oh, I can still feel my heart pounding... I hope people will reply. How does Kouen do it?

[ Hopefully, people will be honest about their answers too! She's excited to learn more about caring for her dragon. Someone should tell her the camera's still rolling, though. ]

Oh, your dragon is cute...and you have a nice name, too~

[The voice that responds in this message is light and airy, like the owner is a little bit of an absent-minded type. Ren does give a bit of a serious-ish sounding hum at her questions, though.]

My dragon eats a lot of things, but he mostly seems to like what I like. He keeps stealing coffee beans, though...

[There's a short, somewhat pouty sigh at that, like it's somehow troublesome, before he brightens up again.] Anyway, mine's pretty big? It can wrap around me a few times, like a really big snake. And I named him Diablo...yours looks kind of fishy, maybe you could give it a water deity kind of name...?

[redsea]

[ As Kougyoku fights down a blush, she contemplates on Ren's suggestion. ]

We don't have water deities or anything like that, but... [ She touches her golden hairpin, reminded of the djinn sealed within it. Maybe the dragon can be Vinea II? Titus seems set on calling him Marga Two, though. ]

What is yours named after?

[thedarkbond]

Oh? Maybe I could give you some ideas from my world, if I think of some... [Ren trails off a bit there, and there's the sound of a very faint, muffled sort of tap, like he's tapping his finger against his chin or something.

The other question distracts him from that for a moment, though, his bright tone a bit of a contrast to what the explanation turns out to be.] It's kind of named after a friend of mine from home? Lots of people call him "Diablo". It's the word for devil or demon in one of my world's languages.

[The mildly dramatic way he says that last thing indicates Ren might just think the word sounds cool, rather than it being some indicator of terrifying things.]
