[ 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.

Yeah yeah, I know. Us rabbits are extra cute and tasty looking. I've heard it all before.

[come on boy!! you know how she is.]

If it helps your ego any, male rabbits are still called bucks.

The neediness thing is definitely a pain. [mmm gonna just. not lean too hard about what happened those few months ago hah hah!!] It helps being around others who can help take care of it but...

Well, stinks that Juno's gone, huh? But you're an unattached guy, you can get that neediness taken care of in ways some other people stuck in Iris can't.

[disasdeer]

It doesn't, thanks, though.

[ Yeah, he's trying to forget but that's all he can relate it to... And honestly, what he's mostly hearing is 'deal with it' because his being unattached doesn't mean anything. ]

I'd think it'd be easier to manage if you were attached to someone.

[ LEGOSI... ]

I mean, it stinks that she's gone for reasons unrelated to this. I liked having her around.

[hopticulture]

[she puffs her cheeks out a bit. which, even with the vampire bat fangs peeking out, still looks cute.]

In a normal relationship it'd be easier, sure.

[but!! this isn't about Her]

I liked having her around too. She was a lot of fun, even if it was all too easy to rile her up. I wonder...hm... [what she would think of you looking like a bespectacled rabbit] wonder what she's getting up to back home.

But anyway, I know what it's like being Iris. I might have some places to recommend where you can buy things that help.

[disasdeer]

...Yeah, you're right. If it were, it would be.

[ Again, damn it, Legosi... ]

You know, when I returned home... I didn't see her at all basically. I saw Legosi, I saw you, but I didn't see her.

[ He hopes she's okay. Why does he feel this way today? ]

Oh - I'll take recommendations.

[hopticulture]

[not going to comment further on her relationship, especially pertaining to the moons and how that tends to go down for the two of them.]

Hm...I guess that isn't too strange. She's two years younger than us, right? She must still be in Cherryton and there isn't really much reason for us to go back there.

[it isn't like Louis to go out of his way for a girl. honestly the only person he ever seems to go out of the way for is Legosi, but it's hard to say if that's even by choice.]

Sure! I'll send you some links. They're all on the same block which makes things easier. It's not like it helps much with the neediness but if it's anything like what I go through, it helps with other things.

[AND THE LINKS THAT COME THROUGH SOME TIME LATER ARE. sex shops. specializing in toys.
hah hah go figure.]

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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]

...It's weird, but also --

[ Give him a sec, this is probably partly coming from being Iris. ]

I don't know if I'd trust anyone else with this sort of advice.
