[It was like, 3 in the morning, and Lio was laying in bed while restlessly typing this on his phone, the subject of the post laying next to him and almost certainly drooling in his sleep.]

To whom it may concern.

If you see an idiot firefighter running around the city shirtless at any point, look with your eyes, not your hands. Actually, I'd prefer if you kept your eyes above the chin.

He's mine.

[Happy first day of Sanguis!]

No problem there, pal. Your territory is clearly marked.

[burningfree]

I'm not a dog.

[firstdayblues]

If you're sure. I saw a guy earlier who was about 30 seconds away from claiming a fire hydrant all his own... Really makes me wonder about this place.

[burningfree]

That's disgusting.

I'm not 'marking territory', I'm delineating boundaries. And a fire hydrant and a firefighter might share some similarities, but they are definitely not the same thing.

Fire hydrants tend to be a little smarter.

[firstdayblues]

[And that's when he cracks up.]

Alright, I give, you win!

Sounds like you're settling in alright, at least.

Did he like the shirt?

[burningfree]

[Lio smiled at his screen. Oh, he remembered this guy.]

He loved it so much he wore it into battle like a moron and ripped it to shreds. To be honest, I'm glad it didn't survive, otherwise I may have burned it myself. You could say *BTSB have left a bitter taste in my mouth.

[firstdayblues]

Probably for the best, then. I can't imagine waking up to those colors every day would be all that pleasant, even if the band hadn't turned out rotten.

[burningfree]

Maybe not. I feel a bit bad, though, since he'd liked it so much.

I've learned my lesson, though, I'm not buying him any more shirts. He seems to have a tendency to ruin them.

You settling in alright?

[firstdayblues]

Yeah. Turns out I've got friends from my world here.

Apparently I was even here before, but I don't remember any of it. Makes it kind of complicated, but if anything settling in has been almost too easy.

[burningfree]

That sounds complicated. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have no memories of things people around you expect you to know.

It hasn't been easy for me, but the sudden upheaval also isn't new. I've been attempting to adjust to a new lifestyle since before I arrived here. Having someone here from my world has made it better.

[firstdayblues]

It's a lot to try to wrap your head around, with or without these 'moonblessings' we've all been 'lucky' enough to get granted.

The only thing certain is uncertainty, huh?

[burningfree]

The moons concern me, though I haven't been affected yet.

[That he's aware of, anyway.]

I've heard people can control the element associated with their moon, though. That part intrigues me.

[firstdayblues]

From what I've been able to dig up, it seems right on the money all the way down to the transformation part.

Can't say I'm looking forward to that. Last thing I need is to cause a spark while I'm working with gunpowder.

[burningfree]

First of all, from what I'd heard, it takes no small amount of Chroma to actually use the elements.

Secondly, why are you working with gunpowder??

[firstdayblues]

More than just a handshake and a slap on the back, you mean. That leaves me out, for now.

I work with guns and ammo. Don't worry, I've had all the safety certification you could ask for, and I'm not the type to go around making pipebombs or anything like that.

[burningfree]

Wow. If you need someone to hold your hand for an hour, just ask.

And trust me, I'm the last person alive who has any right to assume anyone else is some kind of terrorist.
