[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!]

Sometimes a man just needs to run around shirtless
I get it

As long as he doesn't end up in the reddest part of Caihong, he'll be fine

[burningfree]

Oh, knowing his luck, he just might end up there entirely by accident.

[swordhardy]

It's got that kind of draw
Not just because of the obvious
They have some of the best street carts for food

[burningfree]

Oh, now you have me actually worried.

[Galo loved good food.]

Remind me to never let him anywhere near there unsupervised.

[swordhardy]

Roger that.

Rokurou Rangetsu, at your service.

[burningfree]

Well, I was joking, but if you insist.

It's Lio Fotia.

[swordhardy]

A working man never jokes about his commitments!
Though I can't say I'll be there to warn you when it does happen.

I don't recognize the name.
Newly arrived, or just private?

[burningfree]

[Oh. Great.]

You sound just like him.
You two would get along well.

Newly arrived, roughly two weeks past. Do you keep track of everyone's names here? Is there a list I should be concerned about being added to?

[swordhardy]

Likes to be shirtless and good food...
Yeah, sounds like we would
All that's missing is the love of a good fight
There's nothing better than going head to head in battle!!

Just a mental one, but everyone would be too much for me
I try to recognize other moonblessed when necessary, considering the friction going on recently

[burningfree]

Great. I have to worry about two Galo's now.

[Careful there, Rokurou, or Lio might fall head over heels.]

Has there been tensions between the Moonblessed and the Prismals? I haven't been aware.

Though I can't say I'd be terribly surprised.

[swordhardy]

Ho -- no need to worry too much. I'm pretty well behaved.

[ This is, in fact, not usually true. ]

There have been some events
The moonblessed are able to influence Lunatia through moonlancing, it's a great deal of power
Not all the prismals trust us, especially since some of that energy went to destructive force a few weeks back
Not surprising, but something to be aware of

[burningfree]

Makes sense. No wonder this most recent incident with those cultists happened. I'd be wary, too, if so many strangers with that kind of influence were to show up out of nowhere.

I can't imagine all the Moonblessed here have their hands clean, either. I sympathize with the Prismals that see fighting us as their only option left to maintain some semblance of control.

I feel like I'm the minority in that opinion, though.

[swordhardy]

Among the moonblessed? Likely
I don't think many are used to being hated, even if it's by a small faction

[burningfree]

I'm no stranger to being hated, though in the past I was the minority that suffered at the hands of the more privileged class.

I can't say I'm all that happy being on the other side now. I'd rather be helping these people than fighting them.

[swordhardy]

I wouldn't say that we're fighting them
Someone who was more involved can probably give you better details, but it wasn't an intentional siphoning on the part of the moonblessed
But some mistrust is understandable, regardless

[burningfree]

Not fighting them? I think my firefighter with like six bruised ribs would beg to differ. I think the Prismals that were arrested and taken into custody would beg to differ.

[swordhardy]

Alright, scratch that
Not fighting the innocent civilians is more accurate
Yes to fighting the possessed and entities that keep blowing things up

[burningfree]

Sorry. Possessed?

You mean that literally?

[swordhardy]

I do
I wasn’t, but I took care of someone affected

[burningfree]

The Moonblessed were possessed?

Someone had put together a large summary of recent events and I read part of it, but it was way too dense for me to absorb, so I gave up.

What happened?

[swordhardy]

Yeah ... it's a long story
Take me out for pizza sometime and I'll tell you what I know

[burningfree]

Pizza.

[You have got to be kidding him.]

I only have room in my heart for one pizza eating idiot.

Not that you're an idiot, but I'm not about to go on a pizza date with a stranger. We could invite you next time we go out, if you'd like.

Just keep your eyes off him.

[swordhardy]

I never said "date"
I like to eat when I'm telling a story is all
I'll take candied sweet potatoes too, those are my favorite

were you interested in doing a log thread in one of our inboxes for the pizza not-date?

[burningfree]

I know you didn't, it was just the implication. Everything is a little new and raw with our relationship so I'm a bit weird about these things right now.

If you're determined to stay tight lipped unless you get your pizza and sweet potatoes, though, I can try to make an exception, though obviously it'll have to wait til it isn't the middle of the night. You have a place in mind?

sure, that sounds fun!!

[swordhardy]

Sanguis, aah?

You're right you're right, I'll get yelled at if I go out right now
But I do know of a few good spots, yeah! Food's important
Feel free to shoot me a message when your hands are free
