[Baptiste has spent a bit getting to know this place, but has yet to make any sort of video posting. He starts the feed up to do just that. He doesn’t feel entirely comfortable here yet, but he feels more so than is first day here.]

I arrived with the newest group of people last month and I have yet to introduce myself on this. This thing is somewhat like a social media site or app isn’t it?

[He’s never been one for such thing. Even more so nowadays.]

My name is Jean-Baptiste Augustin, but I just go by Baptiste. On my world I was..a medic. I was never short of people to treat either, but that is to be expected in such a line of work.

I wanted to introduce myself here as well as ask for any information on this place. As I said, I am still new and I believe I have a grasp on the basics. But if there is anything in particular that you think I should know that I might not already know, please feel free to tell me.

[He’s about to end the feed, but he pauses and inquiries about one last thing.]

I would also like to ask if anyone could point me in the direction of a good candy shop or bakery.

That's not a bad idea, thinking about it. Everyone does seem to have different experiences, but there's a general theme across enough of them that people could find use out of it.

Anyway, Cordis seems to result in a lot of hedonism, and I believe the animal features associated with it are those of foxes, cats, and owls. I tend to lean towards foxes, and I also have had to deal with an increased metabolism. On the other hand, I do experience increased agility and pheromones that seem to make me extremely attractive, so... I suppose that's a bonus.

Having something like that documented could only be beneficial. [Perhaps it is something he will work on.]

So there are both benefits and drawbacks to all of this. [The pheromone production could be seen as either, really.] Are you conscious of any mental changes it brings about in you? And if so, are you aware enough to control them?

[bloodisthicker]

Yes, it could. With the sort of technology available here, I would imagine that it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to distribute it, either.

And... hmm. I tend to become more aware of them when someone else points them out to me or I catch myself, but I’ve gotten a bit better at managing it as time had gone by. At the very least, I’ve managed not to embarrass myself too much since I got here.
