[ A video comes on and here's your friendly neighborhood red deer appearing. Only...looking a bit different. Instead of having his normal ears, he has long, rabbit ears. He doesn't look too amused by this, either. He also has a pair of glasses settled on his face. ]

So, this is cool. I knew we could change Moonblessings. These glasses make me look like my dad.

So...

Any advice for a fresh new Iris? I had kind of hoped if I were Iris that I'd...just stay a deer and not change too much.

But it looks like that's a big old 'no' for me. It's really different from Sanguis... I'm going to miss getting taller and stronger.

[ And this is the moment where he pauses. Then, seems to realize he should probably just ask aout it. ]

And...I need some more adjustments made on my prosthetic, so if anyone is an expert in that - it's not like anyone could anticipate that I'd suddenly end up thirty centimeters shorter.

no they’d just be a dragon person?
i guess you could come up with something
but jackalope just sounds kind of dumb
you’re a deer so
i’m pretty sure that’s not the same as an antelope

[disasdeer]

Yeah. I don't really see a reason to return. It's not like we couldn't hang out off campus, anyway.

[ Stares at his phone. Blinking...very...slowly...nothing like getting sex shop recommendations from your ex, huh. He guesses this is the type of friendly relationship they have. Still, it's not like it delights him to have to resort to this, but also realizes this might be the best option. ]

I think...thank you.

[ Being annoyed by this is balanced out by Iris impulses. ]

I'm not sure what I was expecting.

[disasdeer]

I'm going to miss being Sanguis, to be honest. You'd think if they wanted me to be Iris, they could make me deer.

[ He blinks then -- ]

I'm noticing uh, the - [ it feels weird to say around Konoha?! ] Seasonal things, too. I heard that it's normal for Iris. It's pretty lucky if it doesn't happen too often, though.

[lumberlady]

It seems kind of unfair... Louis would be perfect with the deer features...

[they can do this! they can talk maturely about breeding seasons!!]

I mean... I think it happens different for everyone, is the bad part... It's not so tough for me because jinba, um, already have breeding seasons, so I'm kind of used to it... it has to be worse than that for it to bother me, but... Maybe other people are bothered more easily...

[disasdeer]

In this case, I'm just a deer.

...Jackalope kind look like a cross between a deer and a rabbit.

Only pretty sure?

[ just gonna. tease ]

[disasdeer]

Aw, come on. I don't know if it's that funny.

[zunge]

You've become a bleary-eyed deerrabbit. Of course it is.

Prepare for intense cravings for physical affection.

[disasdeer]

Right? I make a good deer. It's my best look. No one wants to be anything but their best version.

[ And he considers her - alright, doing his best. ]

We don't really have seasons like that at home, though. It's pretty similar to humans, from what I can tell.

It's hard to warn and let people know what to expect since it's so random. Kind of tossing us out here and telling us 'good luck.'

[grilletto]

110% SURE!!!

[lumberlady]

R- Right! Louis is the best deer here...

[The only... deer here???]

"Good luck" is kind of all you can do, yeah... I feel like I'm pretty prepared for what I can usually expect now, whether it's a good month or bad month, but if something suddenly changed... I wouldn't know what to do at all... I mean, my husband's here, so maybe I'd be fine no matter what, but...

[Not everyone is that lucky... And there's no guarantee how long that luck will last.]

[hopticulture]

[look this is Totally Weird to be saying and offering to an ex. but Haru is also someone who kind of takes things as they are in stride, and it's honestly been real nice having Louis actually around as opposed to being a ghost of a guy with no idea what he's been up to.]

There really isn't much to expect. Maybe us females have an easier time of this sort of thing because we're used to going through monthly cycles.

[aka periods....]

Though I guess...with your horns... [hmm...that's just as bloody, but different.] Anyway, I'd offer you product recommendations but I know your needs are different than mine. But I've seen what they have available for males.

I think you look nice with the glasses.

[The ears are adorable but he has a feeling he shouldn’t comment. He wants to, though. But he doesn’t know the deer man.]

What would you like to know?

[disasdeer]

I only shed once a year, though. I guess... I'll take a look.

[ Listen, he's never done this before because he's never needed to. And he's going to try and stay casual about it. But...it's strange for him to be needy like this. On a more permanent basis. ]

I think...I'm okay without getting specifics.

[disasdeer]

...

[ she's sweet ]

Yeah, I think having a consistent partner would be easier, for sure. Your husband's presence probably helps. It's lucky.

[mysophobic]

I see. Well maybe I could help with your prosthetic then, if there's ever any issues with it! I can fix broken things like that with my powers as well.

But I hope you find someone who can help you out!

[disasdeer]

Good, I was hoping so, but who knows. We're different families of animals, even. I guess at least my face isn't too much like a rabbit's.

[hopticulture]

Maybe now you’ll be able to sympathize with females more now that you’re going through something that makes things uncomfortable for a few days each month.

Depending how long you’re Iris for, at least.

[SHE’S JUST teasing.

a shrug.]

And suit yourself. Guess it would be weird, getting sex toy advice from...well, me.

[disasdeer]

Very funny. I'm not bleary-eyed at all.

I already noticed that part.

[ I hate it - implied. ]

[disasdeer]

[ Oh no, he blinks for a hot-second. ]

I guess... any wise words of wisdom in regards to managing the affection and neediness.

[zunge]

I know one Iris who grew tentacles that would hold people's hands regardless of his will.

[lumberlady]

I know... I feel really lucky. I know it could end just... any moment, but. I'm lucky now...

Does Louis have a gi- [girlfriend? boyfriend? aaaaa-] partner in Lunatia... ?

[Look she's seen a lot of people meet and start dating and such here, so maybe???]

[grilletto]

shit
yeah that'd make you look extra weird

[disasdeer]

Something to look forward to, I guess. I mean, I hope not, but never know.

[disasdeer]

No but...

[ pause ]

I'm not really looking for something like, though. I'm fine without it.

[lumberlady]

Oh... Louis likes, um. "Friends with benefits". I- I get it! Don't want to be tied down when you might go home anytime... yeah...
