Text: Moonblessings or Curses

[numbertwohero]

UN: Shoto

I've been here for two months now. Ten moon cycles, if you count each individual cycle, and then the triple moon as its own cycle. My friends have gotten animal parts, new abilities, personality changes...I've seen a little of everything. But I haven't had any changes at all, myself.

I know that not every cycle is the same, and that it's sometimes stronger or weaker for some reason, but I don't know anyone who's never had anything happen.

So, I guess that's my question: is there anyone else out there who still hasn't figured out what their moonblessing is because they haven't changed? Or should I start getting worried?

[Someone please reassure this boy that he's not broken and isn't about to be sent back for being faulty merchandise, ok.]

I will be. Really

You know, you could come too, if you want

Those kind of tips are important ones. You've done all the hard work already

[numbertwohero]

And yet I'm only getting the name calling.

What's yours, anyway?

[numbertwohero]

I'm still figuring that part out

This weekend?

[hot_handed]

Fuck you, you asymmetrical icy hot bastard

[numbertwohero]

That isn't an answer.

[Asymmetrical, really??]

[hot_handed]

You should know my name by now, you frozen airhead.

[numbertwohero]

Obviously, but I'm not using it again until you use mine.

I meant what's your moonblessing. Which moon is yours?

[hot_handed]

That's bullshit!

I think it's Cordis. What's your point?

[numbertwohero]

Guess you'd better get used to it

No point. I just wanted to know. You only think or you know?

[panthered]

That's true. The whole moon phase thing definitely takes up a majority of my time here. If it isn't me, it's one of my friends...

If we all had the same moonblessing it would be fine, but we're all scattered so it's basically the whole month.

[earrdrums]

"hard work"? what, like i'm a pioneer forging ahead for you guys by being a snake for a few days?

i think i'll have to pass on the moon trip though
i mean, what's up there to check out? just a bunch of crystals and wild animals, right?

[defendure]

this weekend is perfect!

[penpoint]

Yes. And anyone who can't make Chroma is going to have a harder time getting along here. It's pretty much the perfect system for wanting to generate Chroma, honestly.

[numbertwohero]

Mm, maybe. Somehow I'm not sure it'll be that easy...

You said earlier you think maybe your not changing had something to do with your abilities?

[numbertwohero]

Yeah.

I can't help wondering, though. At least one person who vanished, I know she didn't have a problem with moonlacing. At least, she was always willing to give hugs and hold hands. But she disappeared. If we're here to provide Chroma, why would someone who was doing it willingly vanish? Maybe they don't really have that much control over it.

The same reason I don’t seem to age regularly. I can change to look like anyone so want. I can change on a cellular level, move my organs around, and heal pretty quick. That sort of thing.

[numbertwohero]

Then that's what we'll do. I'll find out what we need and let you know.

Thanks again, Midoriya. I think this will help a lot

[numbertwohero]

Yeah, same. Maybe it'll get easier, once we've been here a while...I don't know how long you've been here, but two months just doesn't feel like enough time to really get used to a place like this.

[Not that he wants to, exactly! But, you know. Better to adjust quickly so he can focus on how to get him and all of his friends home.]

[numbertwohero]

Basically. I mean, you're the first mermaid/snake I've ever met, so

[Is that a joke? Maybe.]

Out in the wild? Yeah, that's what they say. I'm more interested in the archives I guess. The records the Lunar Scientia have might be different on each moon. Maybe there's some kind of clue about why we're all here. Midoriya and I are gonna look into it while we're there

[numbertwohero]

Right...you think there's something going on here intentionally? Or is this just...basically the physics here? The way it works?

[sheisthewind]

I'd like that. I can take you flying as thanks, if you'd like. I have a way of using the wind that can let someone fly with me just by sitting close to me.

[Since he seems to be interested in it and her wings, she might as well offer that rather than moonlacing via handholding. She's not shy about minor physical contact with such a directly mutually beneficial purpose, but she's only ever offered in person with people who've had some need to moonlace.]

[foriamhere]

I suppose it's possible.

[ALAS]

[defendure]

no problem, todoroki-kun! you can always count on me.

[numbertwohero]

That's a really amazing ability. Is it the same for everyone where you're from?

[skinsuits]

No. Humans from Earth don't have abilities. Only mutants do. People like me.
