[ 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.

I am. Yes, bats. It's hard to tell because my eyes are always pretty dark, but if they weren't, you'd probably notice.

It was something to wake up to. Everything was blurry and much higher than it was when I went to bed.

[lumberlady]

Louis has bat eyes?!

[oops no she sounds like a broken record]

I mean- Oh! I never really thought about just eyes changing before, that’s... weird. I’m sorry...

[disasdeer]

Yes. Bits and pieces this time. I think the Moons think it's cool for me to be an extra weird looking hybrid. The eyes are the least terrible thing about it all.

[lumberlady]

Deer hooves feel really weird, but I'm feeling luckier and luckier about what happens to me... Sorry, Louis...

[What... can she say...]

Do the eyeglasses make it better at least?

[disasdeer]

The glasses help. I've rarely been the sang month to month here, so who knows what next month will bring. No need to apologize, it's this place.

Do you always have the same changes?

[lumberlady]

I have definitely heard of people changing blessings... so now it's Louis...

[crossing her fingers so hard over here... her current Iris she can handle...]

It's not always the same for me, but it's usually one of just a few things... In nice months, just my coat changes color... and sometimes my hooves and tail change, too... and in bad months I go into season really bad, so. I can at least... prepare for one of those.

[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]

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.'

[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.]

[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.

[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???]

[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...

[disasdeer]

I don't really have that sort of thing either. Just the normal types of friends. I'm alright with that, though.

[lumberlady]

... Ah.

I- I made the conversation lewd?

[disasdeer]

...Yeah, a little bit. It's okay, though.

[lumberlady]

Sorry! I didn’t meant to- L- Lunatia made me do it!
