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?

What do you mean by "supposedly"? Was school really different, where you're from?

having something to do would be pretty nice, though.

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]

The levels might be different. There could be an additional year here for high school, that's all.

Yes, it would. I don't intend to actively moonlace either, so I may need to get a part-time job. [ SHUDDERS AT THE THOUGHT ]

Are you new, too?

[endgamed]

That's certainly commendable. What sort of business do you operate?

And what makes you say that? Did the moon's changes become a little too drastic?

[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?

[epimedium]

Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

I just got here in time for all that boy band drama. I'm not really looking forward to the next crisis, so some normalcy would be nice in the meantime.

I’m afraid I do not attend any classes, so I cannot speak to what that experience would be like. If nothing else, I hope that you are still able to enjoy them!

As for my moonblessing, I often find myself waiting until much later into the month. The moon is a wonderful shade of purple then—do go and see it if you have the opportunity!

[ The bits and bobs that grow out of her head are less wonderful, though, so Ophilia’s choosing to omit that. ]

I hear the other moons are quite beautiful, too. I have faith that, whichever one has blessed you, you will be able to take comfort in that much at least.

[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]

Then we arrived at the same time.

What do you plan on doing here?

[epimedium]

I'm not sure yet. I've been playing out high school on a loop for the last few years, but in real life I'm a CEO.

[endgamed]

I see. The purple moon is Iris, isn't it? That's also where we arrived...

Do you like your moonblessings? The ones you receive when the Iris moon is out.

[endgamed]

Well, that's a confusing statement. You say you've been playing out high school on a loop, like you've been repeating grades, but I'm not sure that's what you mean entirely.

[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?

[epimedium]

It's complicated. I was stuck in a virtual reality thing. Everyone was a high school student.

[satanslash]

a teppanyaki grill! its on crystal beach if you ever wanna stop by

no actually it was me that changed
i went home and came back and i guess whatever happened to me did weird things with my moonblessing
im still cordis but its a lot more
intense

[endgamed]

Teppanyaki? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it, but I can drop by some time when I have the extra money and see for myself.

[ He lives in fake Japan, ok. :( ]

That's a strange occurrence, but I don't think it's uncommon based on the other posts that have been put up on this network. Does it make you eat more than you should, or something else? I'm not very familiar with the moonblessings just yet. I hope you'll excuse me.

[endgamed]

I see. So you aren't really a high school student— just pretending to be one.

At the very least, you're out of that situation for now.

[clodpole]

I cannot say I much enjoy them, unfortunately… The fever is perhaps the worst of what the moon inflicts, but I have grown antlers and ears in the past. Freckles, I believe, too. They were so oddly colored, I thought perhaps I’d come down with some sort of pox! Rarely are these changes consistent between cycles, however. I recall not having antlers some months, or having a tail on others…

[endgamed]

You become feverish? I hadn't read about that, but that sounds concerning. I'd hate to be sick for almost a week every month.

[epimedium]

If by "pretending" you mean "forced to be one," then, sure.

But yeah, I guess so. I still have my body from the game so no idea what's up with that.

[endgamed]

I see. Sorry about that.

And... that's inconvenient. I'm not sure I can offer any hypotheses for your situation.

[epimedium]

Satake-kun and I just assumed it was some kind of weird mutation in the server. It made sense when we fought the musicians, but I'm starting to get the feeling that might have just been a coincidence.

[clodpole]

Forgive my poor wording. It isn’t quite that sort of illness… People under Iris’s influence tend to be more willing to

Indulge

So to speak

But I prefer to weather the worst of it at home.

[satanslash]

[Fake Japan needs to get on that good real Japan food!]

meats and noodles and other toppings cooked on a flat-top grill

cordis already eats a lot and i did even before i got here but no its more like


ok this is weird but its making me act MORE like a cat than it did before?

but it doesnt make me a full cat just ears
