[The first thing visible in this video is some kind of very bright surface obscuring the lens. Then it rearranges itself, and it becomes obvious that someone with a colossal mess of red tentacles for hair that are also glowing luminescent pink in areas is holding his phone at an appropriate distance with said tentacles. Ren looks a bit chaotic, between that and the purplish-white patches glowing on his skin, the purple nails and lips, but he seems cheerful enough, waving at the screen and then waving one of the two additional tentacles trailing from his shoulder blades.]

Hello everyone...I saw a couple of people with this new moonblessing already, and I'm starting to get kind of curious now. We've had that dragon moonblessing, the kitsune, and now this, right? Weird ones that just showed up once and then never again so far. But I'm wondering how many people actually got each of them - I got all three, but I think a lot of people might've only gotten one or two or only been around for one or two, right? Since I think they might've been caused by different things...

[He taps his chin a in a dramatic sort of thoughtful motion.] So I guess what I'm asking is, how many of those weird moonblessings did everyone get? And which ones? Even if you didn't get any of those three, it'd be interesting to know who managed to avoid all of them too...also, if you got pictures of yourself with them, you should definitely show me pictures. I want to see what everyone ended up looking like.

[He claps his hands together to one side of his face in a cutesy, inviting sort of manner. He mostly wants to see if there's a pattern (and potentially confirm his theories on what caused each of them, because he's a lot more sure than he's letting on), but he's not going to act like he's not just curious to see what changes people ended up going through and if they were as radically different as normal moonblessings could be.]

OH MY GOD, are you okay?!

I mean, I know people change sometimes, but... that's a lot, isn't it?!

[thedarkbond]

[That reaction actually has one of Ren's hair tentacles curling in front of his mouth to politely disguise a laugh, though a few of the others wave as if to placate Aoba.]

I mean, sometimes people turn entirely into animals, so compared to that, I don't think this is very weird...besides, it's pretty fun to have all these extra limbs.

[A few of his tentacles reach off to one side and then come back holding what appears to be an octopus plushie and a small dark pink carry case for something.]

[talkscrap]

W-Well... I guess.

[It could definitely be handy. Like, maybe he could even get dressed without so much as getting out of bed?
... No - that was definitely not Aoba's point, though!]

As long as you're alright.

[thedarkbond]

I'm flattered you're so worried about me~ [While he sounds sincere enough, there's something slightly teasing to it too. Ren's met too many people here who get flustered about having emotions about people to not poke about it.]

But I'm fine. You can even come see me to make sure I'm fine, if you want. [As he's saying that, the things his tentacles are holding get deposited somewhere out of frame again.]

[talkscrap]

Anyone would be worried!

[And Aoba isn't even embarrassed about his own pointless worries, even if they only amount to him sticking his nose in other people's business. When people start growing tentacles, he thinks he has a good excuse to worry!]

It's not like I don't believe you, but... I'd like to come over anyway.

[Even if he trusts Ren to have told him the truth, this isn't going to stop being weird and mildly worrying until Aoba sees it in the flesh, at it were.]

I'll bring some food and drinks, okay?

[Who knows how cooking even works, with tentacles! He feels better making sure Ren will get a proper meal in, even if all Aoba can manage on such short notice is the Prisma equivalent of convenience store food.

Look, this is basically the same as visiting a friend who's sick! Growing tentacles is at least as bad as getting the flu!!]

[thedarkbond]

[Trusting Ren to be sincere about any of his potential weaknesses is a bad idea, though at least in this case he just finds this whole business too normal to get up in arms about by this point. Even if he knows people who've been here as long as he has still do.

He's certainly not going to complain about easy food, though, even if it's more of a concern to him during Cordis.] Well, if you want. Don't buy coffee or tea, though, okay?

[Ren's very selective about those particular drinks, and he doesn't want anything quickly grabbed on the way over to go to waste. After a moment, he seems to remember something, and takes his phone back into his hands from his tentacles.]

Oh right, you'll probably need my address... [A few moments later, a text address and a map app link both come through on private text, indicating an upper-floor apartment in a two-building complex called DNA.]

[[OOC: when this goes over to action, feel free to wildcard in on Ren's log post to continue!]]
