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.

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!]

About a year. We were in a different world together, she left for a while, but we met again back here.

It doesn't.

How does your partner's moonblessing affect how they behave toward you when their moon is active:
It doesn't.

How does the triple moon's behavior affect how you behave toward each other when all moons are active:
We like to stay inside together more when we can but that's about it.

That's interesting.
Neither one of you acts ANY differently toward each other whether your moonblessing is in effect or not?

Hmm.
And you said that you already have some catlike attributes.
And she doesn't get affected very much by Iris.

I wonder if that has something to do with it.

[satanslash]

not that i can tell no
though im pretty sure if you asked any of our friends theyd say we're already pretty loveydovey

but yeah im half demon so i already have a tail and fangs
shes completely human tho

[starmark]

Okay, so to clarify.

You act like a Cordis even when it's not the Cordis moon.
She acts like an Iris even when it's not the Iris moon.

So it's really not distinguishable whether the moon is out or not?

[satanslash]

something like that yeah

i've had like
one reaction to someone else in heat once a few months ago but it didn't lead anywhere

[starmark]

Hmm.
Okay, that's interesting data.

What was different about a few months ago? Anything?

[satanslash]

Uh.

well

our actual first time wasnt until my birthday at the end of december

that may have played a part
along with just getting used to everything

having cat ears and my regular hearing actually fucks with me a lot, its the one thing i really hate about my blessing and i think that was the first time it was really overwhelming while i was outside

[starmark]

So you went outside and someone else was in heat and you had a reaction to it?
Is that what you're saying?

I just want to make sure I'm following and getting this down right.

[satanslash]

yeah, that's it

hasnt happened to me since

though right now im having other problems
