{02 Video | IRIS MOON}

[freshtilapia]

[During the first night of the Iris Moon, a video comes up on the feed of what appears to be a woman with long, cascading scarlet hair that falls over her shoulders in waves. The only thing tipping them off to be someone familiar to some is her lilac skin and the one exposed ear adorned with cuff jewelry running across the top and tipped with a red fin.

She's clearly sporting make-up tonight, as her eyes look very dramatic, framed by a thick line of deep green eyeshadow that fades into a white highlight under their red brows. Her face seems to be more dramatically contoured as well, highlighting her high cheekbones. And those lips are also more dramatic than usual, featuring a fancy gradient from deep plum at the edges to a bright magenta at the center.]

I think the trend lately has been all about transformation, and... I'm feeling particularly generous with mine.

[It's easy to tell from their body language that this fish is totally feeling their oats. And in a fluid movement, they sweep a hand with long, red nails over their head and pull off their wig to dramatically reveal their actual shorter red hair, which they shake out. But instead of it being plain red as it always has, it seems to have been enhanced by glowing tendrils of electric blue. They mix into their hair nicely, just making the merfolk even more like a fantastical, colorful creature from the sea.]

Come to the beach and I'll sing you a song for a kiss. I'll be looking forward to meeting whoever comes.

[They chuckle, and they blow a kiss to the camera to close the feed.]

[ There is a middle aged man on screen, and his gentle smile causes the lines of stress to crease around his sparkling blue eyes. It feels nice and okay to not just use text; like he'a ready to embrace the people here. For once, he doesn't have his glasses - they wouldn't work around the rabbit ears.

Yes, rabbit ears. They rest down the sides of his head - a lop rabbit - in the same brown as his hair, with little flecks of grey around the very bottom edges. Occasionally, as he talks, they shift slightly forward and back, as they emote with his face and his voice. Nothing as dramatic as rabbits with ears that stand up, of course. ]

Well, this is fun. I watched my partner turn into a wolf-snake hybrid, so this is way easier to deal with! Do we report to the science staff to get scans taken or anything? I'm curious on how my biology changed!

Also, uhm... so, tails. Pants? Mine's small enough I can tuck it inside, but it's pretty uncomfortable. And I'm not at the track-pants-in-public point yet.

Thanks!

[ He gives a little awkward wave, like someone trying out vlogging the first time, and it cuts out. ]

[[I have a catchall here for nerding if you just want to play normal! Lmk.]]

[When Sherry speaks it’s clear she’s nervous, her voice is just a little too tense for casual conversation.]

Okay so I know people have been mu- changing, but has anyone had any changes around the eyes in particular? Like glowing spots?

I’m just trying to make sure this is the same thing everyone else is going through and not- uh, something else.
