[video] // [forward date to the 7th once cordis moon is happening]

[thedarkbond]

[The video feed in this post is very focused, looking up at the upper part of a moon-shaped chair like it's sitting on the cushions. Taking up most of that space is Ren (and the hair that he's made a token effort to try and contain in probably the fattest plait known to humankind) in all his Cordis-touched glory, fluffy fox tail wrapped around him and ears twitching a bit as he files his long claws. As he speaks, sharp canines are visible poking out from just under his lip.

Also, the attentive might notice he's not filing his claws down. He's filing them up to worryingly sharp points, a sharp contrast to the cutesy, airheaded manner he starts speaking in as he tweaks at the top of his oversized sweater to stop it slipping off his shoulders.]

So I guess that moon stuff is happening to everyone, right...? But I don't think everyone knows how to properly look after fur and feathers and things...oh, and scales, I think I saw some fish people around during the last moon. So I was wondering if anyone had any advice about that sort of thing? I'm sure nobody wants gross stuff in their new animal bits while this is all going on because they don't know how to clean them properly, and there must be people who are more used to dealing with that stuff. Even if I don't have feathers or scales, I'm sure there's other people who it could be useful for. Nobody wants scale rot or weird moulting problems, right~?

[A cutesy sort of smile comes at that. Honestly, he's mostly asking because he wants to see what people have turned into, but hey, making a resource might put him on good terms with some people.]

Oh, and has anyone looked for grooming stuff at the shops...? I guess there has to be that sort of thing here since I've seen lots of furry people since I arrived, but it's pretty boring to go look through a big shopping center alone...if anyone wants to come with me, maybe I could treat you to something in return.

[He says that so innocently that it's probably safe to assume he doesn't mean anything weird...even if he's passed by the shops well enough to know there's some questionable stuff there he could definitely tease the heck out of someone with. But he's definitely not planning to do that. Look at this eminently trustworthy and adorable face with no ill intentions whatsoever.

And those claws that he's still cheerfully filing to dagger points with the air of someone who has no idea how that could possibly be an odd thing to be doing.]

[[There's also an open log here which includes a prompt for if anyone does want to get teased by go looking for grooming supplies with Ren, plus some other moon cycle shenanigans!]]

they itch, i guess. that's why you see birds scratching all the time

[thedarkbond]

well, i guess hands are just as good for that as a beak ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
i don't think i saw any birds last moon, are you normally part bird or something

[It seems like this moon might be the bird one, but hey, he might as well find out more while the chance is there.]

[badluckblues]

not normally, no.

[ not part, anyway. ]

looks like this week is an exception

[thedarkbond]

what about a whole bird (・・？)

[Which just makes him sound like supermarket chicken, but hey, clearly that's. appealing.]

i mean lots of people are turning into lots of stuff this week
so i guess birds aren't really that out there when you think about it ╮(＾▽＾)╭

[badluckblues]

if i could just turn into a bird whenever i wanted obviously i wouldn't tell you that. think of how paranoid you would get around perfectly normal birds

could be me

spying on your secrets

always.

[thedarkbond]

why would i be paranoid about that...
i'd just have to wave hello to all the birds i saw ╭( ･ㅂ･)و

[Also he could go inside away from birds if he had any secrets he actually wanted to preserve, so there's that.]

[badluckblues]

i think this makes you obligated to wave to birds from here on out, just in case i am a bird

[thedarkbond]

are you going to do something rude to me if i don't (✿´ ꒳ ` )

[badluckblues]

there's research to suggest some birds hold grudges for generations, you know

[thedarkbond]

do they not have anything better to do 【・ヘ・?】
that sounds like a lot of effort...

[badluckblues]

they're birds. what do you want them to do, update their stock portfolios?

[thedarkbond]

why not
it's important for birds to have secure finances too <(￣︶￣)>
