[ 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.

[she'll take your agitated jackalope and raise you an amused wolpertinger. she scratches a bit at the base of her antlers as she speaks.]

You don't look half bad in glasses, Louis. Makes you look mature...although with those ears you also kind of remind me of my dad.

[teasingly:]

Not much fun being a rabbit, huh? Just make sure Legosi-kun doesn't see you looking like this and you should be fine.

[ Prosthetic immediately catches his attention. Shigeru isn't an expert in that but he does have something...else. ]

I could heal your leg for you, if you wanted?

[ If he had known sooner he would have offered! But, gosh, it must be so hard going through this place like that. ]

[disasdeer]

I'm so glad I could remind you of him. Not really what I was going for here.

[ It's not funny, Haru! ]

Of course I'm not. I miss getting bigger.

[ At the mention of Legosi, his expression shifts to one of amusement. He tilts his head and that slight, slight smile. ]

Why's that?

[disasdeer]

I'm not sure what gave you the impression that this was something I was interested in doing.

Also, you can make parts of limbs entirely grow back?

[ disbelief ]

[hopticulture]

[IT IS VERY FUNNY it's clear from her expression she's trying to hold a laugh in.]

Oh please, you're being dramatic. It's only temporary and I'm sure you're still bigger than me. Not counting these things [gesturing to her own antlers] I've not grown bigger once since arriving here.

[not that it really does bother her or anything. she just wants to rub it in! her ear flaps, amused, though she shrugs her shoulders to act casually.]

I dunno. He may see you and think you're cute. We both know he's a perv.

Louis is Iris now?

[wait...]

... There are Iris types that make you need eyeglasses?!

[mysophobic]

Nothing did! But as a...doctor I have to offer up all possible choices! Especially when I have a means of...helping.

But yes! I can do that! My powers allow me to rebuild or breakdown things at a subatomic level. For inorganic and organic matter too. But it's a pretty long process depending on multiple factors.

[ He could technically help with the prosthetic, but Shigeru's never really worked with one before. ]

[disasdeer]

I am still bigger than you for sure.

[ There's a long --

Long

Pause. A second to shake off that fluster because he doesn't know if he hates the idea, but then realizes 'cute' isn't exactly how he wants to be thought of, so - ]

Very funny, Haru. I know he has a fetish, but I would still hope he wouldn't find me cute. I kind of hope he doesn't see me at all like this.

[hopticulture]

Not that being bigger than me is much of an achievement.

[again!! teasing! and she rests her cheek against her free hand.

but it is pretty annoying to be only seen as "cute", isn't it?]

You do make a pretty good deer & rabbit hybrid. It would only be normal for a guy like him to think you look cute. [it would be weird if she said he looks like how their hypothetical kid would have looked, wouldn't it? so she keeps her mouth shut on that passing thought.] Anyway, what sort of Iris advice are you looking for? Once you get used to it, there isn't really much to it.

[disasdeer]

I'm not interested in something like that. I've had this for awhile now, and I ... like how I am. Usually. I wasn't really supposed to get any taller or shorter, so it's been...unnecessary to get one that can shift and adjust.

That sounds like more effort than it's worth.

[disasdeer]

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]

Yeah, I look like I'm extra delicious or something.

[ He's not sorry he went there. ]

Just how to manage the need for attention. It's not too far off of...that thing, a couple months ago. I had no idea it was this bad. It's really bad. I don't want to leave the house bad.

[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.

[hopticulture]

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.

[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?

text; un: pewpewsp;

[grilletto]

so does that make you a reer or a drabbit?

[disasdeer]

That's entirely ridiculous. Why don't we go with drabbit. I think reer won't give the desired impression.

Though I'm not too far off from an existing species called a jackalope. Just a bit more nose.

I mean, what do you call the humans who turn dragon-like? Dragman. I think that might be something else entirely.

[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.

[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?

[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.

text; un: ruffestrabbit

[zunge]

Nice look. I snorted out loud.

[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.]

[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.
