video / male viera confirmed

[codecmoment]

[ There is a middle aged man on screen, and his gentle smile causes the lines of stress to crease around his sparkling blue eyes. It feels nice and okay to not just use text; like he'a ready to embrace the people here. For once, he doesn't have his glasses - they wouldn't work around the rabbit ears.

Yes, rabbit ears. They rest down the sides of his head - a lop rabbit - in the same brown as his hair, with little flecks of grey around the very bottom edges. Occasionally, as he talks, they shift slightly forward and back, as they emote with his face and his voice. Nothing as dramatic as rabbits with ears that stand up, of course. ]

Well, this is fun. I watched my partner turn into a wolf-snake hybrid, so this is way easier to deal with! Do we report to the science staff to get scans taken or anything? I'm curious on how my biology changed!

Also, uhm... so, tails. Pants? Mine's small enough I can tuck it inside, but it's pretty uncomfortable. And I'm not at the track-pants-in-public point yet.

Thanks!

[ He gives a little awkward wave, like someone trying out vlogging the first time, and it cuts out. ]

[[I have a catchall here for nerding if you just want to play normal! Lmk.]]

I'm sure you men are used to tucking things inside your pants, so that's just something else for you to deal with, isn't it?

[ Guess who's extremely amused by this old man with cutesy rabbit ears on her screen? This lady here. ]

[codecmoment]

I mean, sure? It's not really a thing I think about? Or anyone with things to tuck into their pants? I just don't want to sit on it weirdly.

[howlmyrage]

If you're sitting on your tailbone, you probably need better posture. Sit up straight! And point your tail up!

[ Jeanne has absolutely no idea what she's talking about, but she's going to pretend to be an authority anyway.

She's probably right though. ]

[codecmoment]

That's really good advice though! I have back pain from hunching over so much over the years. Hacker life.

[ Though he does straighten up and, though invisible, points his little fluffy tail up. ]

voice.

[spah]

[To Engie's credit, he doesn't hit respond until he stops snickering.

But there's definite amusement in his voice.]

I think there's some shops around here that accommodate for... tails, and that kinda thing. Can't say I understood it 'til now, though.

[codecmoment]

[ What a gentleman. ]

Hi Mr. Texan! What happened with you?

[spah]

[He tried.]

Uh, howdy.

You talkin' about the moon thing? Nothing's happening with me, not right now.

[codecmoment]

Howdy! [ He's very friendly right now. ]

Did anything happen to you? My partner turned into a wolf-snake. He's okay now, thankfully - it got kinda hot and uncomfortable trying to cuddle up.

[heptagram]

So, regarding the tail question... I'm going to guess that it's also quite rabbit-y in shape? I had something a bit larger to deal with. Required more drastic measures.

[codecmoment]

Yeah, it's small and round. Well, not round, more of a sausage? A fluffy sausage? But it just looks fluffy when I sit. It kinda flips up. Anyway, it's not that dramatic, but I still have to accommodate for extra lumps back there.

[heptagram]

["Fluffy sausage," that's a new one.]

Well, if it's not a big issue, that's fine, too. If it does become an issue, it shouldn't be too hard to find a solution. This probably sounds obvious, but don't just cut holes in something else you own, that'll just end poorly.

[codecmoment]

Nah, I'll get like. Special moon pants. I mean, it could be worse - I could be a full body bunny. Then I'd need people to pick me up and I'd be a real, genuine prey animal.

[ Instead of just an awkward nerd that the game writer picked on. ]

[cadeuces]

( Angela pops on screen and she's baring traits of her own for the moon phase— ones he's seen before to a degree, when they'd first met, speckled in white spots along her cheeks and bared shoulder, now also sporting doe ears perked to see him and dainty, velveteen little antlers. She looks ridiculously happy to see him, hands clasped near one cheek in the typical oh look at youuuuu you're so darling! way people coo over children and cute animals.

She's also impossibly relieved that she's seeing him in some positive state instead of stressed out and nervous, which has been the norm so far. )

Oh, Hal, you look wonderful! ( He looks so sweet!! She loves his ears... Oh, right, science talk. ) I don't know that we need to report to them, but we could have a look at one another if you'd like to be study partners. And I could help you fix your pants if you'd like. I found a way to sew them with a snap so you can't see the hole in them the rest of the month. I have a little tail myself.

( Which she steps back to turn around and show him— you're welcome, Hal, she's only wearing a sweater with lace panties allowing her freedom to show off that tail (which gives a little wiggle, fluffy and white) and the spots going down her thighs. No shame, Honestly. )

[codecmoment]

[ He flushed immediately, because that's very bold, but she's just showing him biology changes! It's harmless! And really... really cute. Like, young ladies on instagram doing their makeup and #aesthetic stuff. Sunny showed him a few. His ears roll back and lay there, out of nervousness. ]

Oh, wow. You're... uh... uhm. Cute. Really cute. Is it hard to do things with the horns? Antlers?

[cadeuces]

( Oh no he looks even cuter when he's pink... But look, distraction! She's holding up a pair of high-waisted pants to show him how she's sewing in the snaps right now so she can put something on— they're hidden in the seam. It had been a harmless (and slightly thoughtless) move, but she hasn't had any sense of personal decency in years, thanks to camping out with dozens of other doctors and volunteers for so long. )

Haha, thank you, Süässli. You look very dashing yourself; I love your ears! And honestly, my hair is getting caught in them a bit, and I'm not very good at braiding my own hair...

( They're small, and she supposes female deer shouldn't have them in the first place, but they're not in her way otherwise— she reaches up to touch one and it's a peculiar sensation, with some basic nerve response. )

[codecmoment]

[ Wow, what a talented woman. A doctor, kind, a volunteer who's traveled the world and seen so much and -- and... ]

They look so soft. Er, I mean, reindeer horns are, I think, uh, smooth I think is what i mean. Yeah. Smooth. I meant the ears. Uhm.

I'm getting the impression this is just normal enough here not to cause comment, since Prismals kind of expected me to be some sort of hedonist who acts like he's been hitting the cactus juice for a moon cycle.

[he's not bitter........]

Though, given that we're new, you'd think it'd draw more comments. In any case, they do sell pants that are modified for the fact that you've got a tail, so I'd suggest heading to one of the boutiques and asking for recommendations.

[codecmoment]

Oh good, the city's prepared. Which seems weird since we're their special science projects? But I'm not gonna complain about easy money and being treated well.

How did it go for you, sir? Just being naughty?

[bloodisthicker]

Neither am I. Admittedly, I’m concerned that there doesn’t seem to be any word on a way back yet, but as long as we continue to be treated well I’m not going to complain about anything outside of that.

...and I spent far too much money on bath products and then bragged about it on the network... do you know if there’s a way to lock yourself out of posting if that ends up happening again?

[hasitsthorns]

Yo, dude!

[ The blond beams, pointing up to her tall standing rabbit ears. ]

We're twinsies.

[codecmoment]

[ His own wriggle slightly in delight! ]

Yours are more emotive, though. And less muffled hearing? I'm not sure. Is it better?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Oh. Oh, no, that's so cute what the heck. She can't help the way her smile grows just a little at the wiggle. ]

They are! I wasn't sure at first but they've really kind of grown on me. [ One bends slightly, the other turning as if to catch a sound nearby on cue at 'hearing.' ]

Yeah, I can pick up sounds like no one's business now. Not always a good thing, actually, let me tell you.

[good_bamf_ugly]

Wolves and snakes seemed pretty common earlier in the month. Wasn't the only one chompin' at the bit for uh... well.... anything I could chomp at.

[codecmoment]

[ Another Texan... ]

Yeah, it must be their moon stuff. I'm doing a lot of research right now! A few people are like me - not bunnies, but some are. Angela's a deer... I know there's some jellyfish ladies around now, too.

[good_bamf_ugly]

[cryptids]

Oh yeah you know Angela? [McCree knows how to use a network so it's not like he can't see her reply a few just above his but still, no shame in asking word from the horse's mouth.]
