Text (shortly after the August Iris moon phase ends)

[gaveitaway]

Hello, fellow Moonblessed! This is the Principality Aziraphale and I have a few subjects I'd like to discuss with you, if you have the time to spare.

One is simply a request for good book recommendations, though I'm also curious if anyone has ever run into books here they were familiar with back home?

The other is particularly for those also blessed by the Iris moon... Have you had any trouble with shocking things? And people? My last phase resulted in my being quite affectionate but it's a bit of a hardship trying to cuddle when you keep accidentally shocking your partner.

[There is a possibility of Crowley threadjacking, forewarning.]

I'm not sure about the books. Unfortunately most of what I've been grabbing has been about the scientific side of Chroma. Not too stimulating.

As for shocking... I'll have to ask my sister. She tends to avoid the world during Iris, but I wouldn't be surprised if she found out how to be a walking battery.

[whateternityis]

Would've thought 'stimulating' was exactly what they were after.

[tookashirototheknee]

... Not that kind of stimulating.

I totally opened myself up for that, didn't I?

[whateternityis]

You did, a bit.

[gaveitaway]

Admittedly, I'm not sure how well I'd follow that. Might be worth doing some exploring, though.

I'd never thought to putting a purpose to the ability. Do you really think it could be used that way?

[tookashirototheknee]

I don't see why not. Any source of electricity can be harnessed if you have the correct equipment.

Unfortunately, all my magic is good for is skating across the sidewalk instead of walking.

[gaveitaway]

Harness? Equipment? That all sounds a bit more involved than I'd like.

[He's picturing he'll have to strap wires and a battery to himself or something. No thank you.]

Ah. Ice magic? You must be Cordis then? I wonder if this means I need to be watching for Crowley freezing things next time around.

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, pfff. All the involved would be on my end. All you'd have to do would be hold something for a while to charge whatever it is, and then it would run. I don't know how long, but it's not too bad.

I don't think all Cordis people have ice, but it is characteristic of them.

[gaveitaway]

Well, that doesn't sound terrible. And I think the practice would certainly help. You'd be willing to assist me with this, then? I'd be very grateful!

Well, if it does happen, at least he'll have a friend who's been through it as well.

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, absolutely! I wouldn't just give you an idea and go dancing off and not help. That's not who I am.

Yeah. I'm starting to be able to control it a bit better, which is... interesting, and more than a little fun.

[gaveitaway]

Marvelous! You're too kind. I'd very much appreciate the help.

Well, a lot more fun I'd imagine than not being able to control it. Is it just ice, or could you do, say, snow as well?
