[Initially, all that's visible in this video are a pair of wide, innocent-looking red eyes, with slit pupils that could almost be mistaken for another draconic moonblessing feature. Then they blink, and the image withdraws...and tilts back to being straight, because Ren's sitting curled on a chair with his black, draconic wings and tail wrapped around him, and three sets of golden horns of varying lengths poking out of his head, the longest set probably over a foot in length in front of the bun he's put his hair in so it doesn't get caught in his wings. As such, his head is actually tilted to one side onto his knees, explaining the initial odd angle of the video.]

So how many people have turned into dragons so far...? I think I saw one posting about something else yesterday, but a bunch of other people seem to have just turned into their normal stuff. Isn't this way cooler, though? [He says that with a clawed hand to one side of his mouth, as if sharing a secret, his overall manner cheerful but somewhat airheaded.

After a moment, he drops his hand and waves it, as if to dismiss the topic for now.] But other than wanting to see all you other dragons out there, I had some other stuff to ask about. First is that I'm looking for people who are good at art or programming for something I'm working on setting up. I still need to do all the boring business license stuff sometime this month, but I want to make sure I'll have good people to do it with, you know? So if you're interested in that kind of thing or know about coding games for the virtual reality systems here, I'd like to see even just how many people are interested in helping make a game...or bring a game here, I guess. I'll see how things go~

[Making something from scratch might be easier than bringing Vanguard over in some form, but he's not prepared to abandon the latter idea entirely just yet. In any case, he raises a finger, then raises a second one. It looks like he's been sharpening his claws...]

And secondly, I've been trying to figure out what the best tea and coffee shops in the city are since I arrived, since I found some pretty bad quality places to start with...and even ones that served instant coffee... [There's an almost exaggeratedly despairing quality to the way he says that which implies instant coffee is probably a fate worse than death to him, but he promptly jumps back to cheery in the next moment.] I ended up making a list of each of them, so I figured I'd share it to save other people the trouble. You're welcome to join me for a drink if you like the sound of any of the places~

[What follows in a text post is a list of 20 stores for tea and 20 for coffee, ranging from the rightly well-known to hole-in-the-wall artisan spots that probably don't even display their name on the front. There's also brief notes for each, including things like nice decor and whether they specialise in specific kinds of coffee or tea on top of just being good in general. Basically, if you favour a certain kind of coffee or tea that can be considered good quality, there's probably a store specialising in it on there somewhere.]

Oh thank you for the list, this is really helpful for some of my dates coming up! Or any I make in the future! I'm a "black coffee, like jet fuel" kinda guy, so my palette's not... great.

I saw a few dragons during Sanguis! It's Cordis now, so... I thought maybe it was a Sanguis form I hadn't seen before, since the ones I saw are normally wolves. Is it the hot spring water from the dragon place? What animal are you normally for Cordis? Do you know what happened?

I have a lot of questions.

That list! It's something I really needed in this maze of a city! Thank you so much, Ren!

[ Marie appears on camera, looking completely normal but all the same poking holes in the screen with her shine of a smile. ]

I've seen few dragon people during the start of moon phases, and I suppose some from Iris will also pop up. How curious! I thought people didn't get reptilian traits.

Are you doing alright, though? Need anything?

So I'd probably have to poke at the virtual reality system here a bit more but it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to figure out, if you're still looking for someone who can code.

[One might argue that coding and hacking were pretty different, but eh. Potato, potahto.]

And thanks for the list of coffee and tea places! I'll have to check them out at some point.

[She's barely reacting to anything else, she just heard game and thus raises her hand enthusiastically. Well, enthusiastically while also a bit sleepy, somehow she pulls that combo off.]

I'll help with a game!

[It was in her blood.]

Though... there are things I know of programming, but... I'm not a programmer, so I'm not sure how much help I could be. But, I would love to help make a game!

If we're here long enough, I'll open a cafe myself. Lucifer thought I ought to.

[ Not that this resolves any immediate need. ]

You've missed a location I find acceptable, if you want an addition to your list.
