Hello everyone! I have just two questions to ask today, so I hope you don't mind me posting this publicly. I just have no one else to ask but everyone!

So, first question: would anyone be interested in having a tarot reading done? I can do it over this bracelet business if you really like, though it's probably better to do it in person. I was actually thinking of opening a little shop for things like that, tarot readings and whatnot, but it's probably best to check if people would actually go first!

Second question! This is a little more personal, I'm sorry. I really hope that someone can help all the same, though. Has anyone got any idea of what it's going to be like to have a Sanguis, Cordis, and Iris all living in the same apartment? Or any of those two? Is it difficult to live together, and are there ways around the


The cycles, you know. Anyway, please let me know if you can help on that front, too. Thank you very much for reading all of this.

That sounds very stressful indeed. But the idea of setting boundaries right away, I like that. I think we're going to have to sit down together and have a talk; one of my friends is only young, and I don't want to put him into any situations beyond his comfort zone, obviously.

I've been isolating myself during the cycles to assist, but it's also difficult. At least I know that it was one of the better solutions, though; that makes me feel a lot better about my course of action moving forward.

Can I ask about how it is with a Sanguis and Iris during the triple moon time, though? That's my biggest worry, to be honest.

All very good points. Preparation when you are within the right state of mind is the key to handling one's moonblessing.

Sanguis in particular are very common to see around the city during their phase and the three moons, so I'd still advise caution when treading outside. Cordis are considerably less of a problem, though their rampant appetites require an excess of chroma or demichroma at hand. I've learned to keep a well-stocked kitchen ahead of time.

[ A Sanguis and an Iris..... ah...... he has some advice on that, but. It's a bit...... ]

In regards to Sanguis and Iris, I would say the answer is dependent on the relationship between the two individuals.

Coincidentally I myself am Iris.

I'm involved with an individual who is Sanguis.

[Ah fuck. Avdol just...needs a minute to reread that last message in particular, maybe groan petulantly a little and work out his petty baby frustration. Ah shit. Is he going to sleep with the big titty Frenchman? He's going to want to, isn't he. Shit.]

I'll have to work harder to save up the chroma required, then! I don't want my Cordis going hungry if I can help it; he's still a growing boy and all. And maybe I can whip up some plague masks or something to help with his pheromones?

As for the Sanguis and Iris thing! I

[Another minute. He's flustered, okay. Sure, near death experiences for his pals? Fine. He'll leap in front of trains for them, it's all good. But damn, this is too much for his delicate, responsible sensibilities.]

I care deeply for both of my friends, so my choice really won't be as hard as I'm imagining it to be, I think. Thank you for strengthening my resolve.

Depending on a Cordis' physical state, they may wander in search of food, which lessens the chances of dealing with their pheromones. However I do still emphasize prioritizing their need for sustenance, as it's the easiest of their needs to be satisfied. Lethargy from eating tends to lead to frequent sleeping.

[ Of course his Cordis friend just likes sleeping in general, so he's not sure if that's a Cordis thing or just a sleepy prince thing. ]

[ ...ah, darn it. He probably shouldn't have said so much. ]

I apologize for any discomfort I've caused, I only wished to be honest of the relationship between myself and the Sanguis I live with.

I understand it is an unsettling prospect to be inclined toward actions one would not normally seek, so please do not reserve yourself to act upon impulses whenever they occur.

However if your intent is genuine, for the sake of your companions, my only advice is to be honest with yourself and others.

[nonehorse]

Please, don't apologise! I'm really grateful for all of the knowledge I can get, and there's little better than personal experience. Besides, I'd rather have my Cordis not wander aimlessly for food if I can help it; this place is safer than home, but I still worry.

After all of the information I've been given, I think that honesty and communication is really the only route anyway. Not that I planned on being dishonest with them, but hiding in my room every Iris cycle isn't the smartest idea either, I don't think. But really, I can't thank you enough for being honest with me about this in turn! Although it's a little bit of an embarrassing topic, now I can actually consider my course of action and come to terms with the reality of our situation.

And that's always helpful.

I understand completely, I assure you, and I thank you for taking the advice given to you to heart. One's moonphase can become a rather difficult time, however I find many of us that have been brought to Lunatia have been very accommodating in offering assistance in handling the changes.

Though when one gains the trust and help of a friend, it does help matters exponentially. I do not believe I would be able to manage as well as I do if I were alone. Your friends will be thankful.

I do offer one more note. The characteristics of your moonblessing's animal tends to vary vastly between person to person. Occasionally one turns completely into an animal, say a fish or a wolf or a snake, however it appears more common for those to have only certain features present, such as ears or a tail, or even a change to one's skin, such as with fur or scales. This can also prove to be a factor in how one deals within an active moonphase.
