[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? )

Oh! I think I met someone else that was from there too. Yokohama...it sounds like a really amazing and exciting place!

I bet traveling here has been something then! I've never been to most of the continents in my world, let alone an entirely new planet!

It's pretty amazing though...being here and meeting all these different people. I sometimes hope I can stay here forever. But there's a lot of people back home that need my help and would miss me too, I think.

[ But it sure is nice...not having people hate you for what you were. ]

[tigerpoet]

I wouldn't mind staying here for a long time, but I don't have many friends back at home, and I'm sure my coworkers can manage without me.

[He knows he's in the minority, not really wanting to return home.]

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru kinda feels a kindred spirit in the other man based on what he's just typed back. ]

It's like that for you too? Back home...my kind are treated like monsters, so when I came here it was nice, not be thought of like that by anyone.

But I also have people I want to protect back at home.So it's hard to say how I feel. But given what's happened, maybe it's for the best if I stayed away. [ Hm. Ah. That's a bit depressing isn't it? ]

I definitely understand not wanting to return home, though! I think for some people this place makes them feel accepted and that's not something anyone should feel bad about wanting!

[tigerpoet]

There's nothing monstrous about you that I've seen. I'm sorry to hear that it's like that for you - people can be so unkind...

[mysophobic]

Thank you...for saying as much.
In my world people like me are different, cursed, so I guess that's one of the reasons why we're considered 'monsters'.

[ But, also, his chance of turning into a literal monster are extremely high as well. ]

[tigerpoet]

Being different is no reason to be cruel to anyone. At least, I've always thought so. Some would disagree.

[mysophobic]

I know. But back home it's something of a common thing to treat people who are different and Phrobiests like that.

But I'm glad it's different here and it makes it hard to want to leave and go back home because of that.

[tigerpoet]

I don't have an excuse half as good as that for wanting to stay. I just don't want to leave my friends here.

[mysophobic]

That's not a bad excuse though. Everyone wants to be with their friends, right? Even I miss the people from home.

But having people you care about here and wanting to stay by them isn't a silly or no good reason. Maybe one day they might figure out a way to send us to other people's planets?! I mean since they brought us from ours...who's to say we can't go to someone elses if we ask?

[tigerpoet]

That would be wonderful if it were possible. Even the people who want to return home right away would appreciate being able to visit their friends from here, I think.
