[ The video begins with Akashi waving at the camera. His face is a little too close to the device at first, but he backs up a little so he's seated comfortably on his sofa chair and people can see that his legs are crossed and his hand is on his knee. A comfy obocchan. ]

Hello, I'm Seijuro Akashi. I'm a student at Rakuzan High School, and I serve as the student council president and the team captain of the basketball team. Some of my friends are here, as well, although there may be others who know me whom I still haven't met. Let's talk, shall we?

Moving on... Prior to being here, I was in another world that took me from my home. I learned a lot there, and one of the things I wanted to know more about was the idea of binding souls together. There wasn't much information that I gathered though, despite Verens being a magical place... in any case, I'd like to ask the population here if such magic exists where you're from. Perhaps you can enlighten me all the more.

[ :)!!! Just a normal high school boy asking something so dark... nothing wrong here. He just wants to be with certain people forever. ]

Also, I understand that it's the Sanguis cycle now. [ He looks away as he strokes his chin. There are no wolf, koi, or snake features evident on him... ] Is it possible for one's Moonblessing to not be active? I understand that the Cordis and Iris cycles are yet to pass, but I see no other Moonblessing appropriate. Are there any other- [ He pauses as he tries to find the right term... ] late bloomers out there?

I do have another inquiry, more focused on the business side of things, but perhaps I'll save that for another time. I haven't been here for more than three weeks. I'm just a little... excited, that's all.

Anyway, thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you.

the moon might have been scared bc giving you sanguis would be dangerous.

[glorifies]

[ Do you think Akashi is the kind of person who would sit here and argue with a troll? Yes. Yes, he is. ]

I can be dangerous whenever I want. That's not a good reason.

[ THAT ALSO ISN'T A VERY GOOD ARGUMENT... Akashi, pls. ]

[mevsme]

but it would give u more power. u r already dangerous w/o the extra, even if u r tiny.

[oh it's him!!] Nice to see you again, Akashi-san. I'm glad you're doing well. I have those copies of the pictures, if you'd like them.

But, as for your questions... [She trails off, hesitating and considers] There are a few ways to bind souls together... On the mountain I live on, there was something called a 'ghost marriage'. It was mostly only for use after death--Hence the 'ghost' part, I guess.

But there are rituals and things you could do even while alive that might accomplish the same thing. Literally, or figuratively like in a marriage.

And as for the moons, sometimes a person's traits won't show up at all. Mine don't happen every time, and sometimes it's very minor. Other people change into something almost completely different.

[ He looks a little bothered, but only because of the troll that responded to him earlier.

Yuri's response has him curious. She seems to know a lot. Also? He hasn't connected the dots. Yuri who knows about soul bonding... hm........... that should be familiar. ]

I'd like the pictures, please.

Well, I can't exactly turn into a ghost for something like that. How can I go about it while I'm alive?

[ :)!! He still doesn't find anything creepy about this. ]

I see. Then perhaps the Sanguis moon just doesn't like me today.

[unhappy]

Let me know if you need me to do anything, okay?

[ She has so many things she wants to talk to him about right now and she's not even sure where to start. So she starts with the obvious one: offering to help out with the soulbonding because this seems legit to Emerald. (At least she consents.) ]

[glorifies]

You'll definitely be the first to know.

[ Because she'll directly be involved!! ]

I hope there are people who can help.

[accurately]

Mine presented a day late into my first cycle, so I don't think it's impossible to late bloom.

[ Or maybe he's Cordis? There's no way to tell.

There's no way he's Iris. Probably. ]

[glorifies]

[ There's no way he's Iris. Definitely. ]

Your temperament didn't change even on the first day?

video;

[overcloaked]

[ Mayuzumi hasn't changed either, as Akashi will be able to see. He's also going to see one hell of an uncertain expression directed his way, too. ]

...You're really still thinking about that, huh.

[ Sure, they'd talked about trying to figure out a way to get Emerald back to their world which is already going to be a steep task, but soulbinding with her is, uh, about a dozen steps beyond that?? ]

[glorifies]

[ Don't look at him like that. ]

Do you think it's a bad idea?

[ Honestly? He'll listen if it's Mayuzumi... Just don't leave him, and he'll do whatever you want him to do. ]

[Man, that's actually a difficult question to answer.

The first one, that is.

The second one, he has no idea, he hasn't even been here two full weeks yet.]

Yes and no. Magic used to exist in nearly everyone, but that was eons ago. Now days its limited to a select few.

[IE the Maidens, Salem and sort of Ozpin? Ren still isn't entirely clear on that last one.]

Re: video

[glorifies]

What happened that it's become inaccessible to everybody?

[ That's odd... And don't tell him everyone from your world magically got erased or something, Ren. That's too farfetched. ]

[inuko]

[ Hah! He's figured out the video function! Take that, world! Strange technology! Murasame, who laughed at him in a crow fashion last time!

Which may be why there's another teen looking at his camera with a hand wrapped around a crow's beak, lifting his eyebrow at the guy on camera. ]

I don't think you get to pick your Moonblessing, but wait. Why are you talking about binding souls together?

[glorifies]

No, I was told that's not the case. I just know Sanguis happens to be mine.

[ He's convinced, anyway. ]

And it's something I've learned in another world. From what I understand, it will keep you and your loved one together even until death.

[dvine]

[He read somewhere that to be a genius something else suffers. In this case sanity. Kise knows 0 things about magic AND is in Sanguis cycle and just the thought of soul-bonding sends a chill down his back.]

Akashicchi, are you ok?

[glorifies]

Why wouldn't I be?

[ Kise, are you implying something???? ]

[timefordinner]

Hi! My name is Sena Itadaki. It's nice to meet you.

Where I come from, there are all sorts of different forms of magic, and I think there's a way of binding souls together. I know one way requires placing symbols on certain key points of the body for both of the people involved, but it's a very ancient magic that not many people practice it anymore.

[glorifies]

Symbols?

[ Hmm... That doesn't seem difficult. ]

Is that all you know about this ritual?

video

[hauhra]

You could say that.

In fact, two souls coming together as one is how I'm able to exist in this day and age even though my original body is long gone [ no, not this one that was given to him on arrival. the one he was actually born with on earth. but he won't get into that here. ]. Unfortunately, the necessary magic was left behind in my world... and I'm not entirely sure whether it's even possible for me to get it back in this one.

But that's probably for the best.

[glorifies]

Hm... It wouldn't be ideal of my soul and someone else's melded into one. That's not the goal here, but knowing something like that is possible is a little. . . [ Terrifying. He ends his sentence with a pensive hum instead of completing it. ]

Do you mean to say you don't normally look the way you do now, then?

video

[hoasen]

You truly believe you're going to be in Sanguis, no?

[This guy sure is confident.]

[glorifies]

I can't see a reason why I won't be.

[ensuredsurvival]

I seem to be lacking Sanguis traits as well, even if it would be most logical for me. I keep wondering if this is because of this is my first month here.

But it might just be that we are not Sanguis.

[glorifies]

That's not acceptable.
