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!]

I guess we'll see how things shake out once the data has been collected.

Actually.
I have another question for you.

When you arrived here, were you on the Iris moon?
I mean before you came to the city.

[deerhearted]

Time to play the waiting game.

I think so, yeah. That's what I was told.
Did we all appear on Iris? Is it possible for people to appear on the other moons?

[ a lot of questions. ]

[starmark]

It occurred to me a bit ago from talking to someone else.
But I don't think I've ever heard of someone showing up on Sanguis or Cordis.
I know I arrived on Iris.

It seems like Iris is...different, too.
I can't explain how yet.
But it feels like it's different than the other two moons.
I wonder if they're connected.
The arrival and that difference.

[deerhearted]

So it sounds like everyone's been appearing on Iris.
I wonder what makes Iris different from the other moons.
And why it's Iris we're all appearing on in the first place.

That's something that should be looked into.
I wouldn't even know where to look for answers, though.

[starmark]

If it were just Sanguis and Iris, I would have the theory that the Sanguises exist to protect the Irises for some reason.
Cordis is kind of a wildcard.
I don't have a lot of data on that one yet.

I think it's possible to visit all three of the moons though.
Maybe some kind of geological survey?

[deerhearted]

That's an interesting theory.
Regarding the temperaments, Sanguises are territorial, possessive. Irises are more affectionate and gentle, despite also being protective.
Makes sense that Sanguises would want to protect the Irises.
But you're right, with Cordis that kind of throws that theory for a loop.
Unless Cordis could somehow fit into it, but you'll have to get some more data on that.

Huh, you learn something new every day.
Maybe visiting the moons will give us some answers on why Iris seems different.
It might very well be a geological thing going on with it.

[starmark]

Right.
I'm particularly interested in Cordis relationships with the other two moonblessings.
That's part of the reason for the other survey.
So we'll see how that goes.

I'm not really a geologist personally.
I might have to leave that part to someone else.

[deerhearted]

Hopefully you get the data you're looking for!
It'll be interesting to read, to see where they fit in.

You could always hire a geologist to help out, if you're really that interested.
I'd offer, but I'm not a geologist unfortunately.

[starmark]

Maybe I'll shop around for one.
For the moment I think this is going to keep me busy, though.

But it's good to have a project I guess.

[deerhearted]

It's good to have things to keep you busy.
Especially in the situation we're in!

Maybe we'll figure out something from your research.
