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.

Oh I have problems similar to that. See, my hair is less electric and more it gets very long and grabby during the moons. I use a special comb to keep it under control.

[ As demonstration of this, Konoka lifted a strand of her hair, and it actually took a moment to reach the end, which was as violet-tipped as the front of her hair. Naturally, it wrapped around her hand. ]

The tentacle part never even goes away nowadays! But comb aside I find it easier to deal with when Iris moon isn't around.

It looks cool, but I can't imagine what it's like to deal with it.
Only zap others and not you or the rubber gloves more literal?

I'm usually pretty functional unless my jaw elongates and splits. It seems to happen more often during the triple moon, but it's a pain in the ass.
Especially with a mouthful of sharp fangs. No venom yet, but I feel like it's only a matter of time.

Oh, Miss Rochelle... your hair stings people?

My coat changes but... just the color.

Oh, shit. [He lifts up his reading glasses and squints.]

Man, that's gotta st--... [Don't say sting. Don't say sting. He puts his glasses back down.] ... sssuck. I don't get that, but I do grow an entire coat of fur and shed all over my apartment. It's... a lot of vacuuming. And lint rollers.

[He looks askance at a vacuum that is definitely full of gray fox hair from the recent Cordis, which he is dreading having to empty out.]

Good to actually see you this time, by the way.

[Ferran doesn't usually respond with video, but this time he does, if just to display his own blessing problems. He doesn't speak immediately, looking at the frilly red and white tendrils that emerge around his elbows with concern. Like Rochelle's, they move as if underwater.]

They can sting you? That's just unfair... especially so close to your face.

[Jellyfish sting marks are awful and he'd hate to get them anywhere, but especially not his face. The fangs and pointed bat ears are bad enough for a guy who's (probably too) concerned about appearances.]

I get feathers in my hair, but it's mostly the ones on my back that are a pain. They're so hard to reach I have trouble keeping them clean.

It just changed out of the blue with no warning?

I haven't gotten too many crazy changes yet that coloring is super cool though... but uh my hair gets even more shaggy during Sanguis. My traits are mostly dog related so I guess I'm a big fluffy one?
