fifth ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe you need to brush up your Chroma to buy a place in Amegahara and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

Do you act especially kindly with me, then?
Or are people just not looking close enough?

( He was fine, and it was cute how he watched the cats when they first met!! To his credit, he's always answered her questions and never once had a snide remark for her. )

I'm sure the rehabilitation is half the effort; it can't be easy.
No matter how cats have always been praised as low-effort pets, living creatures always require quite a bit.

[cadeuces]

( NO... IT'S CUTE... CAIM IT'S OK. 😭 As far as pranks go it was innocent enough, wasn't it? )

I will graciously accept your high estimation, and apologize if I'd sparked any particular silliness.
I'm sure you'd find yourself excellent at a good many things if you put your mind to it, Caim.
You're a very clever person and physical dexterity will get you further than you realize.

[cadeuces]

Compliments to the photographer for the focus on your eyes. 🤭
But dinosaurs! Goodness, I apologize for calling them lizards; are they not extinct?
They look quite happy with you, to be considered scary monsters.

( Hey man that's the whole point of tin— uhhh prismates, absolutely. )

[prodigalmess]

It's an antique, and I don't usually handle it, but at least I have it if I need it.

I've never heard of that.

[cadeuces]

To the middleground, then.
And a little of that spontaneity in some harmless flirting. 😉

My, Mr. Professor! That was smooth!
I'd swoon, but I'm afraid there's no one here to catch me.
Even your comebacks are thoroughly sincere.

( A+, See Me After Class. )

[have_hat_will_travel]

Sounds good!

[have_hat_will_travel]

... That's definitely terrifying on a different level.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Not sure 'colorful' gets the whole picture of demons.

And music is neat. I always like meeting more musicians, would've been neat to meet your friend.

... And, yeah. I'm one of those multi-hoppers, I guess. There's a few like that around here, though they seem to be a minority among the Moonblessed.

[trenchdoting]

Aw, thanks, Marie! I manage to make due alright. I really appreciate the offer! And the same goes for you too, but I'm sure you don't have any difficulty at all!

[liveandforgive]

That's fine. I'll get enough verbal feedback while I'm working.

[ Guess what else your Master's been learning? ]

😏

[peacewithouttyranny]

See you soon, Pidonus.

[And with that, he turns his phone off. When Pidonus next sees Soundwave, he'll be at the front door.]

[poopio]

Shall I pick up anything else for you while I am out for your mayonnaise?
It may be that you would need other foods to dress with your chosen condiment.

[ Or does he plan to eat it straight from the bottle? Maybe that's more common than he realizes. What does he know about mortal eating habits? ]

[mysophobic]

I think it'd be nice if he made some friends too! So whenever you want to stop by, just let me know, and we can set something up!

I think it'll be a good thing for it to interact with other people! I can make us some snacks too!（*´▽｀*）

[ A squid play date...how cute? ]

[mysophobic]

[ Well then. This sure is hitting close to home. Shigeru sympathizes entirely with the other man, he knows how rough the moon's can be. But even without their influence having a phobia and dealing with them making you act contrary to what you should fear always takes its toll. ]

I. I have mysophobia. So for me...going outside is terrible and even doing the simplest of things is hard sometimes. Being an Iris...I hate it sometimes and then other times I really enjoy it. Wanting that touch because of my heat but also...hating it. It's really hard.

[ That sure is a big ass blush going across his face. Good thing the other man can't see it. ]

For me it's...helped a lot with my phobia and pushing myself. But sometimes I wonder if it's only...making me fall further behind too. I want to get better and be able to do things...outside of Iris and the moon's influence. But I know it's going to be hard.

[ But that's life, right? No one has it easy, not even people who seem to enjoy what they have. Everyone struggles with...something. ]

But yes you're right! I'm from a planet called Kasuitiga. Japan sounds lovely though. I've met a lot of nice people from there. And the culture sounds really rich and amazing!

I kind of want to read some now. I like to draw and so...maybe it'll give me some inspiration for some pieces?

[lanceylance]

Okay, so a cow is a large animal that stands on four legs, has long-ish tail, a large head with a wide muzzle, horns, and eats grass. They're usually really docile and friendly. They can be all kinds of colors too, but usually they're like, black and white, brown, or blond. They can't talk though. All they say is [ And this is the part where he attempts his best cow impression. ] 'mooooo'.

[ Many apologies if his explanation is terrible, he's not the best at description. ]

[hagrides]

[This is a delightful explanation. He's delighted.]

I see! As good a vouch for petting quality as any, I imagine.

[coasts]

she aint
been a while since i last saw her too
guess u could say shes missing but
isnt at the same time?? its complicated

[lanceylance]

wait, what was that last part? i didn't catch anything after the worrying thing. you were kinda breaking up a little.

[ In other words, he will happily disregard that. ]

[lanceylance]

great. gotcha. so just like every other weird place out there.

[ Let him have his beliefs. At this point, it's really all he has to cling to that he's not dead or crazy. ]

you better leave the door open then, because i'm comin in hot.

[leekspins]

Ha ha, don't worry about me. I have a good study partner!

[Plus she's super smart, even if she might not look like it.]

I'm not really sure. There are so many fun options, I haven't been able to decide. I wish I could work all of them! But I'd like to run a cake shop, or teach, or be an actress, or a Moon Knight, or pilot ships or giant robots, or be a master of donut crafting in Amegahara... Choosing just one is impossible.

[leekspins]

Oh, I see! It's okay, you don't have to be embarrassed about it. I wish I could offer decent advice, but I don't have that kind of experience. You can talk about it if you want, I don't mind listening.

[leekspins]

Yay! It'll be a fun date!

Even if you're not confident, I'd still be happy to see your work. I'm not a professional, I just think it's fun, while the president of our arts and crafts club took it very seriously. I learned how to sew thanks to him!

[specialist_snowflake]

She was fretful enough to ask me about my own experiences, as a basis of comparison. Being earnest is certainly important, but so is being frequent with your reassurance that you care for her and like how she looks.

[pokexplorer]

That was very thoughtful of him! I do hope it did the trick.

How has teaching been treating you?

[tigerpoet]

Wonderfully! I have students at all levels of knowledge, Prismals and Moonblessed alike, and it's been incredibly rewarding to work with them. I hadn't realized how much I missed teaching until I started doing it again.
