Text - Backdated mid-Cordis Cycle (8/8)

[pishirogane]

Greetings. I can't say I have formally addressed or utilized the network properly before, but the time has come where it's become necessary I do so.

My name is Naoto and I'm currently working on a project another individual and myself have concocted a few months ago. It's finally reached a point where I must request for several volunteers. In this stage, we're seeking individuals who have been Moonblessed by Iris.

If you're interested, please contact me for further information.

@ otacon, at your service! I do most of my socializing here. In person I'm less interesting, I think.

Are you okay sending me the address? What time should I come, and should I bring anything else? I have a Dusklight bracelet as well, which lets me keep my Iris electrical magic, if that's of any interest.

[pishirogane]

Ah, that's understandable. Most people have an easier time communicating when they're not face-to-face.

I'm doing that now. [He probably gets a small alert on his bracelet once that information does arrive.] You needn't bring anything else. The sooner you can arrive, the better. I'm typically available in the late afternoon and evening hours. I just request you come by before the Iris cycle starts.

[codecmoment]

Okay. I'll bring myself and show up before dinner. See you soon. ヽ(o^ ^o)ﾉ

[pishirogane]

Alright. I'll see you later.

[ Hal has been making an extra-strenuous effort to clean up before heading out. It's been hard shaking himself out of the ambient head fog, but the roommate helps, and having responsibilities in the name of Science (?) does as well. Given how vague the request had been, he assumes this is a Moonblessed not wanting nosy Prismals and Lunatians to come poking around.

He awkwardly fidgets with his Dusklight bracelet before he knocks, then pushes his glasses up his nose. ]

[pishirogane]

[Dinner preparations are underway, but Naoto is getting a few things ready. After all, no reason to carry them out in the open; she needed to put them into boxes and label them. A knock at the door has her up and approaching.]

[There's a soft click before the door opens and she stares.]

You must be one of the volunteers I asked for earlier.

[codecmoment]

Hi! I'm Hal, yeah. What... did you need from me? I don't have my Iris parts yet, if you were hoping for those.

[pishirogane]

[She shakes her head.]

It's less parts I need and more the affects Iris feels. The reason we began working on this project is due to certain personal devices not being able to hold up when this problem is in full force.

[codecmoment]

Does this have to do with the electrical magic?

[pishirogane]

... No, it has to do with Heat.

[codecmoment]

[ This is ABSOLUTELY not the conversation he wanted to have. It's gross and shameful and embarrassing enough to deal with it. ]

Y-yes? What about it? Is the animal term not self-explanatory?

[pishirogane]

[He seems to be missing the objective.]

It is. I have made a few sleeves for this purpose and need sufficient feedback so we can make any necessary adjustments in order to offset those symptoms. Every Iris-blessed is different, but Prismal toys haven't proven efficient enough.

[codecmoment]

I -- I'm sorry, what are you wanting me to do?

[ He's immediately deeply uncomfortable. ]

[pishirogane]

Take care of your Heat and inform me on how the product performed; if it managed to help or not and where any changes could be made. Not here of course, but in your own home. If you don't feel up for this, I understand.

[codecmoment]

I -- I don't -- I leak.

[ Y'know. ]

[pishirogane]

... You leak?

[She might need a better explanation...]

[codecmoment]

[ He's flushed completely red, now. ]

I, ah, get... wet... and easy to be mounted.

[ The ceiling sure is interesting to stare at right now! ]

[pishirogane]

Ah...

[That's what he means. If that's the case...]

I have dildo prototypes as well.

[codecmoment]

S-sorry, we're testing your Iris products? Is this safe? I thought it wasn't... this...

[ He's really put off and embarrassed. ]

[pishirogane]

That's right. And yes, they're safe. There's been care taken into researching the toys available here in order to make the current prototype.

Anyway, the idea behind the product is making a toy that actually manages to satisfy the Iris-blessed should someone else be unavailable during their cycle or they're not sure about such intimate engagements. Prismals will certainly push for it though...

[codecmoment]

[ He really wants to say no because of how uncomfortable this all is, and yet... this is for a good cause. That, and he lives with someone now he doesn't want to bother with his hunger. If anything goes wrong, it'll be okay. ]

... I... I'll try. If you want.

[pishirogane]

If the thought of doing this makes you uncomfortable, don't feel like you need to force yourself into this.

[She kind of knows what it's like... she only really started doing any of this stuff here.]

[codecmoment]

N-no, it's really valuable! I -- I try to offer myself to those who, ah, need... lacing, but I understand plenty don't like it. And there's young folks like yourself who -- who really shouldn't pushed and manipulated into things like that. So I'll do it, if it means giving some relief to people who didn't choose for this to happen to them.

[pishirogane]

[... Does she still look that young? It's the height; it has to be the height. She sighs.]

Very well. Wait one moment and I'll bring it out.

[codecmoment]

[ Hal stays completely still, practically paralyzed by this and his decision. He'll be dutiful, because it's helping in a way he can, but just... yeesh. ]
