Good day.

I'm a senior high school student, supposedly, prior to being whisked away here. I understand that it's the middle of the school year, but I was hoping to enroll have some sense of normalcy. Are there any of you here who are in the Academy, and are around my level? I'd like to know the culture, where the hangouts are, amongst other things. Do inform me. I'd hate to be the new kid in campus who knows nothing.

Or if you'd like to dissuade me from enrolling, I don't mind... I'd just like something to do in this place.

While I'm here... is there a pattern to what moonblessing people receive? I don't seem to be affected by the Sanguis moon... You'd think it this world would play on opposites, but apparently not.

So? What do you think of your own moonblessing?

I'm about twice the age of a high school senior, so I can't help you on that front.

As for moonblessings... I don't know. Some people even seem to change theirs. I've been here about eight months, give or take, and mine's remained the same. I have no strong opinions but I suppose it's better than some can be. Unfortunately it seems like you can't always know what your traits or abilities might be with other ones? So it seems we're all even in a sense that we don't know what might happen to us.

[endgamed]

That's fine. Thank you, anyway.

[ Though what Jill says next is more concerning. There are a lot of possibilities then... and he's going to have to be prepared for all. ]

What sort of traits do you possess, when your moon is out?

[torsion]

[ Yeah, Jill dreads the moons more for the possibilities than she does actually dealing with them. It's hard to know how she might be. ]

I'm Sanguis for the record, but I tend to be pretty aggressive. I usually get out the frustration by sparring with another Sanguis friend.

Physically, I have any combination of the following (so far): a fluffy tail, wolf or dog ears (I'm not sure, but it looks enough like them), hands transforming into more elongated claws, and my jaw sort of splitting and mouth tearing with fang growth. Sometimes it's just fangs -- smaller ones.

It's the jaw shit and more pointy teeth that are the real pain for me.

[endgamed]

I have a question. You're free to not answer, if it's offensive...

If someone scratched your wolf/dog ears, would it make you calm and less aggressive?

[torsion]

A better question is if my response would be because of the moon or not.

And the answer to it is I wouldn't want anyone to and it won't make me go after someone but I suppose it would depend on how aggressively they tried to scratch me.

These are the kinds of questions I never thought I'd have to answer.

[endgamed]

Sorry, it was just a question I came up with out of curiosity.

That's good to know, though.

[torsion]

It's fine. Time spent here has given me a different perspective, I guess.

I can't speak for everyone with ears or a tail, but you might have better luck with someone else.

[endgamed]

I think I may ask other Sanguis Moonblessed the same question if I meet more. Those with wolf traits, anyway.

[torsion]

You really want to pet someone, huh.

[endgamed]

I'm just a little curious.

[torsion]

About Sanguis ears specifically.

[endgamed]

Well, you said you had wolf ears...

[torsion]

Well there are others that have rabbit ears or cat ear or other kinds of ears and tails. Feathers. You know?

[ This is Weird to her. But she's not gonna ask if it's a Weird Thing. ]

[endgamed]

Then I'll ask those who get them.

[ It's simple to him, really! But it's mostly he wants to know how to tame these Moonblessed in case someone attacks him... ]

[torsion]

Well, good luck on that. Not sure it'll be any different than what I said.

[ THAT'S NOT HOW YOU FIGURE THAT OUT, LELOUCH. ]

[endgamed]

You never know. I'm not here to start an argument, though.

I'm honestly really grateful you humoured me.

[torsion]

Oh, I'm not trying to argue. I'm just saying that it's pretty likely you'll get the same answers.

Well, you're welcome. Good luck with learning more about the moonblessings. I don't know much outside of Sanguis since a lot of my friends are the same.
