video; (backdated to the 16th during triple moon)

[ends]

Hey, everyone. It’s Otonashi. [ sporting new fuzzy additions in the form of vulpine ears, deep red markings following the curve of his cheeks, and multiple tails he neatly tries to keep tucked offscreen to keep it less obvious, less personally distracting as he adjusts. really, one tail would have been enough. but, fine. it’s fine. ]

I’ve noticed there wasn’t an influx of newcomers last month, or more recently... Maybe the flow of people has slowed or stopped, but for those of us still here — the time spent away from what you knew can feel terrifyingly long. We should still be here for each other. So, I’m still planning to have a community meetup on the 20th like always, after the moon effects have passed and we’re all ourselves. Anyone is welcome. Even if all you want is to come by and hang out, steal snacks, or get a quick boost of chroma... You come to the event decent, I’m not advocating for public sex, we go in the back for that if that’s what you’re after, thanks—

[ he clears his throat, waving a hand dismissively as if to wave off the awkwardness he had unwittingly let through. ]

I mean that as in the back of the— you know what, forget it. I ... really should’ve rehearsed. Uh, drop by the community center if you want.

Something else, something else, um... [ he can save this, it’s definitely, certainly fine as long as he powers through. ] H-has anyone tried reading or listening to a “choose your own adventure” story? Visual novels, choice-based fiction, that kind of thing. If not, would you like to? It’s like reading a book, but with pictures and some options that change the outcome. Maybe if you’re bored or want a crazy bedtime story or... I don’t know. Hah.

[ he might as well try to make something amusing out of his pre-existing overactive imagination. ]

Yeah, I intended to as long as there’s a need for it.

[ or until he vanishes from the world, as so many others before him had. ]

New changes, huh. Did your moonblessing change on you?

[circumitus]

Ugh, no. Thank fuck.

[Rey would hate to be Iris or even Cordis.]

Ended up with some different Sanguis parts, is all. Plus Exalted traits.

[ends]

Ahh, dragon bits?

[ he knows a handful of sanguis friends who have run through that course. ]

I’m trying to figure out a new moonblessing and this Exalted thing at the same time, it’s... uh. Interesting? ... Yeah, interesting. We’ll go with that.

[circumitus]

Horns and wings, to be specific.

[Though Rey still hasn't figured out how to make use of the wings, save for... balance? On occasion? It helps. Sometimes.]

Am glad not to have changed a whole new moon, at least. Can handle the pissed off bits of Sanguis. But the other ones...? [Rey isn't sure how well she'd cope with the Iris shenanigans.]

[ends]

Horns aren’t too troublesome, are they? Wings have enough function that I actually wanted to keep mine—

[ he isn’t on video, but it feels strange to be without them now that he had grown accustomed to flicking them about or tucking them aside. ]

I used to be Iris myself, and, uh... It... was complicated. I’m not saying that any of them are easy, but... uh.

[ does he really even have to explain himself? ]

[circumitus]

Wings are too small to support body mass. How should they even function?

[Gee, Rey. Maybe MAGIC? You know, just like everything else in this place? Goodness.]

Er, yeah, don't need to go on. Have an idea. [Oof.]
