OH MY GOSH, YOU HAVE A SNAKE BODY? ARE YOU OKAY?

I'm sure it's not permanent or... um... we can figure it out!

Woah, hey! Chill out kiddo. It's gonna be alright. These things are kinda common yo, but they don't last! But first step's first, let's fix your shouting problem, yeah?

Pretty sure the capslock key's on the left. Might look like a little arrow, you see it?

[Look, he's a teacher, it's rough seeing a kid in distress ok?]

[kayssistant]

Don't worry! You'll be back to normal in a few days, without your snake butt! You're probably a Sanguis.

[fineprinted]

Please don't fret! You see that arrow pointing up on the right side of your keypad of your communication device? Just tap on it and it'll turn off!

I haven't heard of that school before, so... What year was it in your world before you came here?

[ ignoring the fact that there are other kids in yumenosaki who don't know how to use a freakin' smartphone, but. you know. gotta make sure. ]

oh no!!! that sounds like a big problem!! (((( ;°Д°))))
but i'm sure your butt isn't that dumb hanayagi-san!!
in fact i bet it's really pretty for a snake butt!! d(ゝ∀･)

i get cat parts once a month so i kind of understand what it's like!! but i still have legs then so maybe i don't understand really m(._.)m
the good news is it goes away though and you can go back to dancing soon!!! ┌(˘⌣˘)ʃ ♪ ƪ(˘⌣˘)┐
so don't worry!!! o((*^▽^*))o

also, like, capslock, dude. its the key on the left. the one that looks like an arrow? that's how u turn the big letters off.

I can understand how frightening it might be to have animal body parts at the moon.

Don't worry though! When your moon cycle is over, it'll go back to normal!

Meanwhile, you can actually still dance with a snake butt, though it'll take practice...

btw caps lock button is on the left, usually close to the A

[kanbai]

DO I SEEM OKAY TO YOU

[kanbai]

IT ISNT SHOUTING WITH NO VOICE
BUT THANK YOU FOR THE TIP

( ... Okay, that must be it. )

Much better
Though it doesnt really show off how distressed i am right now
How common is this stuff and why do you sound so okay with it

[kanbai]

But i want to be back to normal now
I cant go out in public like this
Im a snake

( Half-snake, Kaoruko. )

[kanbai]

( In the year 20XX - )

Why does it matter what year it was how is that going to help my snake predicament
Is this really something i just have to wait out
Cant i trade my voice to a sea witch for legs like in that fairytale

[kanbai]

Actually id never trade my voice even for that
I need it
She can have futabahans instead

[kanbai]

( Oh, kaomoji... Familiarity. )

I wish i got cat parts instead
Cats are cute and elegant and beautiful
They suit me much more than things that just wriggle all over the ground
Slithering through who knows what
Eugh

[kanbai]

Done and done thank you
For how horrible this place has all been so far at least those residing in it are kind enough
Now
It isnt just snake butt its my butt being a snake and i dont want it
I dont want it right now
Why is waiting the only solution

[kanbai]

Dancing requires delicate footwork
Do you know what has no feet

[im_gonna_heal_u]

What about belly dancing?

[vociferates]

in all technicality, yo
capslock is definitely shouting. trust me, i'm an expert.

but to answer your question i guess i've gotten used to the idea! it happens to everyone here.
it helps that people with animal parts arent too unusual where i'm from
it's still kind of alarming when it happens to yourself
and don't forget what i said yeah? it's all T E M P O R A R Y
you'll be back to your usual self in a few days!

[itsknighttime]

huh
replaced your legs with a snake body
thanks i hate it

just look for the shit thats highlighted on the digital keyboard and thatll stop you from confusing me thinking karkats fucking around again
im not fallin for the ol im a snake girl dancer from japan joke again
id freak out a lot more if i didnt hear there was tentacle hair too but i did so im not
ngl though im pretty fuckin not chill about this animal part shit

[fineprinted]

[ eh................... ]

Well, yes, you do need to wait a while till the Sanguis moon shifts to Cordis, which won't be for another few days. The least you can do for now is lock yourself in your room, or find someone you can trust to moonlace with. Maybe this Futaba-han could help?

I don't think any of the moonblessings would affect voices, though. Are you an idol as well, or...?

[lightthedarkness]

Well, no but you also can't get the capslock off so maybe you are and just can't get it to go back down?

[jkpower]

[Kind isn't exactly how she'd describe herself, but she'll take it.]

oh i still standby what i said! u can totes dance w/ a snake body. like belly dancing!

[It's not traditional Japanese dance, but hey it's a silver lining at least.]

well can't do much about it. its how this world works. ┐(￣∀￣)┌

guess ur a sanguis? me too! tho i got like wolf ears and scaly arms this time. the ears are still not as cute as my normal fox ears
(￣□￣」)

[kayssistant]

If it helps, you won't be the only one in snake mode? I'm not sure if there's a way to actually stop these moonblessings from happening.

[foolaround]

oh your first moon!!! exciting
i dont think id like being a snake either hanayagi-san but! it doesnt last long
is there anything you need?

[kanbai]

Finally someone who isnt as thrilled as everyone else
Well not thrilled but okay with it
Even if this only happens a few days out of the month thats a few days too many
I want to talk to the manager

[kanbai]

Yes
Even before this snake butt thing i needed someone to help with the following
Buying me candy
Making me food
Drying my hair
Transporting me around
Giving me relaxing massages

( ...The list goes on, but the narration will spare Minako from reading the rest of it. Kaoruko's just a girl who's used to someone else doing things for her. )

Ive managed somehow without assistance before but it really isnt my preferred way of life
Usually futabahan assists me with all such things
Bananahan also enjoys helping me out when it comes to food and massages
Its been hard
Truly truly hard
Without them or anyone else from my class
