[VIDEO, set around the start of Iris] un: producer

[axemeaquestion]

Hey, so, uh--

[Rochelle adjusts the video and her position until the auto-focus finally kicks in. She smiles awkwardly at the camera. Instead of her usual locs, her hair is now made up of literal jellyfish tentacles, glowing soft pink and floating around her face as if permanently underwater.

She gestures to it, looking less than amused despite the smile.]

This's been a thing for... a few months now? Since whatever powers-that-be decided I wasn't Cordis anymore. It's kind of cool. But it's also like a mood ring, if mood rings could zap people around me when I'm in a mood.

And with work some days, that's... half the time, I guess.

[Her smile quirks wryly.]

Anyway. I usually have to wear it up just to get it out of the goddamn way. If I'm in a bad mood on top of it, too, I've got rubber gloves. Point being... does anyone else get weird hair problems with your moonblessing too? How do you deal with that?

[She reaches off camera for a hair tie, then starts pushing her hair back behind her - as much as she can as it floats around.]

I guess this is one of those long-lead-ups-to-a-random-poll type things, but... screw it. I'm bored and procrastinating.

Comments

[axemeaquestion]

Oh. [Ro blinks.] I think I heard of those, the last time I was in that shop. The ones that make moonblessings permanent, right?

[She huffs a laugh.]

You regret it, or nah?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Not really, just an annoyance.

As far as other stuff goes, I get to freely turn my arms into bat wings and fly when Iris Moon is out! And I can hang upside down for hours on end without the blood rushing to my head! Somehow.

[axemeaquestion]

And that's a FUN thing to do?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

You don't think so?

[ Konoka tilted her head. ]

Pretty neat to fly whenever I want with a little effort.

[axemeaquestion]

After... a lot of stuff that happened back home, I think I'm just happy being a regular, boring human.

But glowly hair's at least more stylish than my old moonblessing, I guess. I had wings too.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah, that's fair.

Glowy hair has a pretty neat cool factor. Hopefully it's not obnoxious enough to stop you from sleeping.

Not something I've been through, just a couple of things I heard from Prismals.

[axemeaquestion]

Kinda. I'm a city girl, so I don't mind lights too much, but when right next to your face? That's where cute eye masks come in.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah, that's true! Might want to get one for myself just in case!

Oh, and having big ears comes with its ups and downs too.

[ Noted by the remarkable bat ears she's sporting. ]

[axemeaquestion]

I noticed that. So what's the "up"?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

These ears feel really good when they're scratched behind.

Plus if I use my voice just right I can pick up sounds I normally couldn't. Only works during the moons though!

[axemeaquestion]

You're a regular bat-wolf then, huh?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I wouldn't call myself regular...

[ Konoka scratched her cheek idly. ]

I was just an ordinary girl before I came here.

[axemeaquestion]

[Ro huffs and gives a small smile.]

Yeah, you're not the only one.

[Kinda sorta - she had to deal with two weeks worth of zombie apocalypse before she showed up here. But for the most part, she's still human.]

I like boots and bracelets and good coffee shops, you know?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I'm fond of books and fortune telling and supernatural stuff..

[ Maybe now wasn't a good time to confess she was actually working on being a mage, but that didn't mean she lacked 'normal' pursuits. ]

Finding a lot of stuff that was only fantasy back home being real here threw me for a loop.

[ Even accounting for already knowing magic too. ]

[axemeaquestion]

[Wait--

Oh. Okay. She thinks she gets it. Rochelle's just going to assume supernatural as in... like, """supernatural""". Witchy occult girl shit.]

Yeah... I hear that. I had - a lot of NOT normal things happen a couple weeks before I showed up here, like a crash course in crazy shit, I guess - but at least I can do normal stuff here.

You know, when my hair's not made of tentacles.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I definitely recommend a tentacle comb. Usually chills those things right out! You'll find those at the Prismal beauty stores.
