Hello. We are attempting to conduct research for two ongoing studies of the moons and the affects they have on the behavior of the moonblessed. See below for respondent criteria and survey questions to answer.

~
STUDY #1: A study of how Moonblessed relationship dynamics and behavior are influenced by the activity of their respective moons.

SEEKING: Moonblessed currently in an exclusive or committed (even if not exclusive) relationship with another Moonblessed not of the same moon as them.

SURVEY QUESTIONS:
<b>▶ DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:</b> <b>I Am A:</b> (Identify your gender OR write "I prefer not to disclose") <b>My Moon Is:</b> (Sanguis | Cordis | Iris) <b>Time Since Arrival in Lunatia:</b> (in months) <b>▶ PARTNER'S DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:</B> <b>They Are A:</b> (Identify their gender OR write "I prefer not to disclose") <b>Their Moon Is:</b> (Sanguis | Cordis | Iris) <b>Time Since Their Arrival in Lunatia:</b> (in months) <b>▶ SET ONE: HOW YOUR MOONBLESSING MANIFESTS:</b> Please answer here with a brief description, in your own words, of how your moonblessing manifests. Please describe both physical and psychological aspects as applicable. <b>▶ SET TWO: HOW YOUR PARTNER'S MOONBLESSING MANIFESTS:</b> Please answer here with a brief description, in your own words, of how your moonblessing manifests. Please describe both physical and psychological aspects as applicable. <b>▶ SET THREE: QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP:</b> <b>How long have you been in your exclusive or committed relationship:</b> Please respond in your own words. <b>How does your moonblessing affect how you feel about your partner when your moon is active:</b> Please respond in your own words. <b>How does your partner's moonblessing affect how they behave toward you when their moon is active:</b> Please respond in your own words. <b>How does the triple moon's behavior affect how you behave toward each other when all moons are active:</b> Please respond in your own words.

STUDY #2: A study of how Moonblessed personal traits may affect their associated Moonblessing.

SEEKING: Moonblessed newly arrived to Lunatia who have not yet experienced a moon cycle.

SURVEY QUESTIONS:
<b>▶ DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:</b> <b>I Am A:</b> (Identify your gender OR write "I prefer not to disclose") <b>My Species Is:</b> (Identify your species OR write "I prefer not to disclose") <b>I Am Romantically Interested In:</b> (Identify your preference OR write "I prefer not to disclose") <b>▶ QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR MOONBLESSING PREDICTION:</b> <b>I believe my moon will manifest as:</b> Please select Sanguis | Cordis | Iris. <b>Briefly describe your reasoning (if any) for what moonblessing you think you will manifest:</b> Please respond in your own words. <b>Briefly describe what attracts you to a partner:</b> Please respond in your own words.

[OOC NOTES: If your character is the type to jack around with the Scientific Process™ and turn in a bogus survey, please feel at liberty to do so! Real responses, however, will be compiled and there may well be a follow-up post using the information provided.

Respondents of Survey #2, please assume your character got assigned an anonymous case study ID number and asked for contact information so that the study can later get follow-up data on how their actual moonblessing manifested; OOCly this can be handwaved!

Please put survey responses beneath their respective comment headers, but feel free to use the rest of the post for the usual discussion and chatter! Thanks!]

Hmmm.
Me and another guy are working on a theory that Sanguis likes to possess but Cordis likes to romance.
And then Iris likes to BE possessed/romanced.

Does that fit your experience?

[teaserving]

huh that's an interesting way to look at it
i think for cordis it's more like playing, but it might depend on who you are
for me, for awhile, that's what it was about until it had to do with my husband (who was not yet my husband then)
i wanted to flirt and get close and when it wasn't cordis i got kind of self-conscience about it

[starmark]

Either way it seems like Iris is...
I don't want to say a "passive" moonblessing.
What's a better word.

Receptive?
Sanguis and Cordis seem like they're active in comparison.
Maybe "reactive" for Iris, then.

[teaserving]

yeah i'd go with reactive
for awhile i was worried that it was like a dependency thing
but it's not that at all

i think we're all supposed to balance each other out in some way
cordis can help people loosen up
sanguis is good for someone who needs attentiveness
iris tends to express a lot of care that the others wouldn't. more sincerity i guess?

that's my experience anyway

[starmark]

Yeah.
That's why I'm wondering about things like Sanguis/Cordis and Cordis/Iris relationships.

Sanguis/Iris is pretty straightforward I think.
But I might just be biased.
All the more reason to see how other Sanguis/Iris relationships work too.

Maybe I'll do a follow up about same-blessing pairs.
It doesn't seem like Iris/Iris would be very compatible on the surface.
Man there's a lot to think about.

[teaserving]

never really thought about it but yeah
no idea how those other ones click together

anyway
good luck on your research

[starmark]

Yeah thanks.
Right now it's just surveying really.

Once I have enough data for a hypothesis maybe I can put a study together.
That'd be pretty cool I think.
