[The video opens on someone who...well, is rather clearly used to using devices such as these to address people. Cleanly centered and well-grounded, focused easily on the man sitting at the table in what looks like one of the nicer apartments available. Not as upscale as his tastes would like, but sufficient for the time being.

His accent is unmistakably French, and his words are easy when he speaks; another thing he seems practiced at.]

Fellow Moonblessed – hopefully this message finds you well, despite all the chaos currently occurring throughout Lunatia. I am Lysandre, a recent arrival from the Kalos region of the world I'm from; more to the point, I'm a scientist and inventor. I specialize in communications technology, mainly, but with regards to other disciplines... Let's say I learn quickly.

The level of technology here is slightly beyond my own world's, but I've been acquainting myself with it since my arrival; I'm interested in speaking to those who have been doing similarly.

I'm also a Pokémon trainer, though I understand that's a bit more uncommon in this place – Pokémon are our dearest companions, and as such something has struck me as odd about the creatures populating this place. Some of them seem intelligent, but the others...

[He gestures a little, vaguely, both to imply the all of that that he finds the others to be, as well as to serve as a placeholder while he figures out what he wants to say.]

They seem a little simple, and strange behind the eyes. Are all of them like that?

[...Lysandre.]

Either way... Thank you for your time, and remain well.

[shinseikai]

Oh, you're Lysandre.

[ Was he supposed to be being helpful or something in response to this post? whoops ]

I'd say the Professor was looking for you, but he seems to have found you.

[ Naturally Yashiro just like reads other people's threads for fun, so. There we go. ]

[holocast]

...Was he, now.

[jesus christ augustine what the fuck did you say]

Well, he certainly knows that I'm here. And you would be...?

[shinseikai]

[ You know, things and stuff, much of which was probably just over-interpreted by Yashiro. ]

I'm Yashiro. [ obviously thats his username, very straightforward stuff ] He and I are...well, I guess I wouldn't say we're friends yet, but we've been talking a lot lately. He told me a lot about you!

[holocast]

If you've been talking to him for any length of time, I can guarantee that you're friends as far as he's concerned. He's direct like that. A little forward, but he means well.

[It's not said in a way that implies that to be a negative thing, because as far as he's concerned it isn't.]

Dare I ask what he said? I'm entirely prepared to have to defend my reputation.

[It's light, though. Easy.]

[shinseikai]

I can see that. He's definitely too nice for his own good.

[ But he says it with a true fondness. ]

Oh, nothing bad. Just that we shared a similar profession.

[ being gay and doing crime ]

[holocast]

[you ended any worlds lately, buddy, or...]

Is that so...? I think I'll leave it there, for the time being, as I'm not particularly interested in having all aspects of my professional life out there in front of everyone.

That said, it's good to see that his taste in people remains as I remember it being.

[...he loves augustine dearly but his taste in people is so bad- ]

[shinseikai]

[ No...he does normal crime!! But Sycamore didn't tell him Lysandre was like worse than team rocket out here smh ]

Of course, of course.

[ At least Yashiro was being subtle about it for once. This is like the one time that's ever going to be true, so savor it. ]

How're you settling in?

[holocast]

Well enough, dead-eyed animals aside. Have you been here long...?

[shinseikai]

Little over a month. The animals not being able to talk thing is pretty normal for me. People turning into animals less so.

[holocast]

...I've been told that aspect is a little on the rough side. For want of a better term.

[shinseikai]

That's just because you've been talking to boring people. It's actually pretty fun! It makes moonlacing lots more interesting.

[holocast]

[are we really going to talk about fucking on the network, like, in front of arceus and everyone- ]

...I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious. One of the more creative ones, are you?

[YES, APPARENTLY, WE ARE.]

[shinseikai]

"Creative" is a nice word for it! But, yes, I am.

[ Yashiro will definitely go there and then some ]

[holocast]

It's good to know that some people are enjoying it, at least. It was getting depressing listening to those who aren't.

this is nsfw im so sorry for yashiro

[shinseikai]

Some people just don't know how to have a good time. The changes are usually really sensitive, or add to sex in some way. Scales, knotting dicks, lubricating asses -- there's something for everyone.

[holocast]

...Right. We're all in a bad adult film, I have no idea how I didn't foresee about half of that.

[shinseikai]

Yeah, exactly. I mean, just look at the options they gave us.

[ And as if it weren't obvious, see also the runes ]

So which one do you want? Sanguis?

[holocast]

There's some degree of suspecting that's what I am, simply because the dragons were...fond, earlier this month. There were a fair amount of them trying to drink my blood.

[shinseikai]

Oh? Were they only going after Sanguisblessed?

[holocast]

They were more interested in Sanguis than the others, from what I understand. So it's not a guarantee, but a definite possibility.

[shinseikai]

Sanguis is fun. Aggressive.

[holocast]

...Lovely. So Sanguis the one that no one in their right mind should want to be with, but the bored housewives would find absolutely fascinating. Seeing as we're all operating on bad adult film logic.

[shinseikai]

Hey now, don't discount that there are plenty of people out there who want to get a little rough and have someone get all possessive over them.

[holocast]

Fair enough, I suppose.

Which do you fall under, if you don't mind telling me?

[shinseikai]

I'm Iris. It's pretty fun, although I could do without some of the moodswings. It makes me too nice.
