That dragon transformation ended up being much more irritating than most phases have been.

How many others were transformed into dragon-like forms during their moon phases? This counts anyone currently dealing with such transformations. I'd like to know about your experiences and what, exactly, your transformations entailed. I'm trying to compile notes on our transformations, so this would be extremely useful.

Though... I kind of hope this is a one-off case still.

I don't know, I'm finding it an interesting change of pace. The increase in height was mildly inconvenient before I adjusted to the changed center of gravity, but clearing two meters for a change is refreshing.

Other than that: Wings, partial scale coverage, horns, minor wind magic rather than electricity. My bust has also decreased somewhat, which is... odd, but I suppose it's in keeping with a reptilian theme. [Hifumi hasn't shaken the feeling that she should be more upset about that difference than she is, which might be an effect in and of itself.]

I wonder what the common factor is.

[heptagram]

So, it seems I didn't have the worst of it, but only two meters? Maybe that is what I ended up getting the most of, since I was somewhere closer to three and three-quarter meters tall, by my estimate. [Which is weird. She kind of thought she was usually relatively short, and she more than doubled in height.]

Still. Thank you for your response.

[asaqueenshould]

Only two meters, so it seems to me this still isn't the 'worst' of it, either. It's early in the cycle yet, so the effects could always intensify in some manner.

[They won't, but she doesn't know that.]

[heptagram]

I feel none of these transformations ever become quite as extreme as they theoretically could get. For example, I've not yet seen anyone transform into an actual rabbit.

[asaqueenshould]

Nor anyone going full fish, despite the concerns raised about that possibility. [The concerns aren't exactly unwarranted, but Hifumi thinks they'd have heard by now if it actually happened to someone.]

[heptagram]

Thank goodness for that, at least. Asphyxia seems like a terrible way to go.

[Come to think of it, nobody has really died that she has heard about here. Which is probably a good thing...]

[asaqueenshould]

So it does. I don't blame anyone for keeping an eye out for the possibility, though.

[heptagram]

I should hope if we're as "blessed" as the title bestowed upon us suggests, it should not be an issue. But that is still not something to just be accepted on faith.

[asaqueenshould]

One would hope. Of course, I would also think a full transformation of any sort would make moonlacing potentially difficult, but I also doubt it'd stop some people from experimenting.

[heptagram]

A fox could still be pet to generate Chroma, though, I would imagine.

It wouldn't be an ideal harvesting phase, though.

[asaqueenshould]

It truly wouldn't.

I've been meaning to ask on the network about transformations in general. The first group of us that found ourselves here have had enough time now to experience more than one moonphase so I'm interested in hearing about how the effects of the moon have changed for them over time.

Do you mind if I ask you a few things about your transformation?

[heptagram]

I don't mind at all.

[takingchances]

This is the first time you've taken on dragon-like features, I take it? How many moon phases have you been through so far?

[heptagram]

That would make four. This is definitely a massive outlier in many ways.

[takingchances]

Interesting. It must coincide with the dragons somehow.

[How she doesn't have a clue. Was it from taking care of the eggs? Hm.]

Did you raise one of the eggs?

[heptagram]

With two of my friends, yes.

You believe we were imprinted upon as they drained our Chroma, then?

[takingchances]

I'm not sure. It seems like too well-timed for it to just be coincidence.

[spellspeak]

So the dragon transformations aren't typiCAL? InterestING~

[heptagram]

[Strange emphasis. Is he trying to tell her something, or is he maybe using a text-to-speech program that is detecting him emphasizing words and doing that for him.

Wait, what kind of a text-to-speech program would add that tilde? Oh, forget it, she's not going to think about it too much.]

I mean, they may be going forward, but this is the first time they have happened.

[spellspeak]

[Nope he's doing that all on his own.]

That's valuable to KNOW. It didn't match with any of the information I had gathered on moonblessing beforehand so I was worried that I had missed someTHING.

[heptagram]

It appears this will be a learning experience for both us and the Prismal population. I suppose we may be subject to other unusual transformations once in a while.

[spellspeak]

But up until now they've been more consistENT?

[heptagram]

Yes. So far there have been three basic animals that those blessed by each moon adopt features from, and they've all been unique to that moon. However, this time, I've noticed Moonblessed transforming with draconic features under both the Sanguis and Cordis moons so far.

[spellspeak]

Well now you can say that you've noticed someone of each moon affECTED.

[meaning himself. Sorry he doesn't have a non-crpytic setting.]

You know, I've been wondering about that myself. I noticed other people ending up with dragon features, but mine was pretty much the same as it's always been. I wonder what caused the change in some people but not others?

[heptagram]

Still investigating. Can you recount what you did starting from when we began to receive the eggs?

[bloodisthicker]

Well, the eggs were a massive Chroma drain, so I worked with someone to take care of mine. I don’t remember anything particularly strange about that other than feeling like I got hit by a truck. Nothing particularly strange happened to me after the dragon hatched, either... I did feel a bit odd in the hot springs, but that was about it.

Though, didn’t we get complimentary tea during our time there? I’ll admit, I have been a little cautious about taking free samples here ever since I heard about the chocolate fountain at the very first festival we experienced here.
