prismatica | fifth ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

( 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? )

[ Hijikata...... now that's a name he didn't expect contacting him on a dating app. It takes him a second of blinking to realize the given name is different from the shinsengumi captain he knows from history, but it's still an incredible coincidence. ]

Pleased to meet you as well. It's always good to get to know other law enforcement workers.

I wouldn't know of any such options yet. I arrived only recently and so far I've been doing only the bare minimum to stay afloat. With the cost for my Academy courses and a decent living, that's starting to be difficult, so I am branching out now.

As we are both studying right now, it might be possible to meet at the Academy and simply work in close proximity? That would be quite time-efficient and not test either our limits in intimacy too much.

[If only Mikami knew what he's getting into here. "Japanese history but with aliens" would probably really hurt his head. Hijikata takes the different parallel universes comparatively in stride thanks to the fourth-wall-breaky nature of his series, but he can tell how much some others suffer.]

I'd like that.

[Maybe they can study back to back or something. That should generate some chroma ~~and surely won't be awkward at all~~.]

What would be a good day and time for you?

[He can imagine that Mikami might want to wait until after the Iris cycle, but the triple moon phase comes right after that, and if he is very low on chroma he may not have that luxury.]

I would prefer meeting before the start of the Triple Moons. My Iris effects are mild this far, thankfully, so I mostly experience an increased desire to socialize. There is nothing happening that would be offensive to someone else. I am counting my blessings for it, I know this is liable to change over time.

I am at the Academy or library Mondays through Thursdays from 9am to 6pm each.

[ And attached is a lecture plan to showcase timeslots that are definitely blocked out. ]

That's great! I know it can be difficult.

[He has a couple of Iris friends and he doesn't envy them. Mikami's schedule looks pretty damn dense to him (which he instantly respects him more for), but he finds a suitable time slot.]

How about tomorrow from 11:00-12:00? We can have lunch too if you want.

[He's not exactly a social butterfly himself, but Mikami comes across as rather studious, so Hijikata would like to have some extra time to perhaps already discuss potential future collaboration work with him.]

[OOC: If you'd like to play that out I can pop into Mikami's inbox (or vice versa), unless you'd rather make a starter in a post if Mikami has one up right now! Otherwise we can handwave it.]

That sounds very nice to me. I really appreciate it.

[ And most of all he appreciates how uncomplicated and professional making this arrangement was. For all the horror of meeting up with a stranger for the sake of engaging in physical contact, this wasn't overwhelming. It's nice to feel like he can do this and maybe not loathe every single second of it. ]

((ooc: I'd love to play this, so my inbox is open for it!! ]

Likewise. I'll meet you outside the library's main entrance at 11:00 tomorrow then.

[He hasn't actually been to the Lunar Scientia headquarters, but that seems like a place he can easily find... or so he hopes. In the worst case they can message each other again.]
