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.]]

( 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.

[cadeuces]

( All right, it gets an honest laugh out of her she tries to hide behind a hand. No need to make him feel badly for saying something genuine. )

Would you like to touch them? I wouldn't mind. The spots are soft too.

[codecmoment]

A-ahaha, I mean, yeah. I would really like that, if you'll let me. Or want me to. I-I'm soft. Up here.

[ His ears shifted slightly, sliding forward and resting there; if he weren't a lop, they'd be up and at full attention. Listening to everything. ]

And down where I'm too shy to show you, but you'll see. If you wanna... meet up for a while. If you're not busy. Is that okay?

[ His gaze dropped, being a big submissive shy nerd that he is. But when he looks back up, his blue eyes are hopeful. ]

[cadeuces]

I absolutely would, both in letting you and in wanting you to. Especially if it's a trade and I get to rub your ears in return.

( "Down where he's too shy to show her", is it— she assumes he means his tail but what a salacious way to phrase it!! Goodness. The perk and twitch of one ear compliments the amused twinkle in her eyes and how she tips her head, gauging exactly what level of invitation that could have been, but clearly choosing not to tease him too terribly. She'll find out for herself shortly enough, won't she? So instead her smile's warm and the perk of her ears softens, relaxed. )

Well, that's too tempting of an offer to refuse. I'd love that very much; where would you like to meet?

[codecmoment]

Coffee? Maybe I can try something fancy. I drink jet fuel usually, but y'know... I get to cuddle all night, so I might have some extra money on me for just sleeping like that.

[ Something in Hal's chest felt light and airy - hope. That's what it was. Hope and excitement. ]

[cadeuces]

Coffee sounds perfect. Do you remember that cafe we sat outside of at the festival? Five doors down, away from the square, is another one with the most excellent lattes. You can try mine if you're uncertain you'll like them first. And are you trying to make me jealous?

( It's a tease; she's good-natured in the scolding, and it seems she's finished her project— she's unsnapping the back of the pastel pants and she's wiggling into them on camera, then clearly going to toe some shoes on with the way she steps carefully half-offscreen, and then she's tipping her head back toward the camera with a wink. )

I'm ready when you are. If I look all right, that is.

( She'll give him a little twirl, crop sweater showing off a sliver of a toned middle and the spots at her back, tail in clear view through the tidy hole she'd made in her skinny jeans. Is she fit for public consumption? Will you be embarrassed by your strange middle-aged deer friend? Speak now or forever hold your peace. )

[codecmoment]

[ Hal was so embarrassed, being a delicate, soft-hearted shy person, he actually looked away when she was fiddling around with her appearance to try and get sorted in some degree without her noticing. ]

-- yeah! Yeah. I'll see you there. Okay?

[ He had hurriedly come back to sit, acting like he had never left out of nerves. ]

You're always beautiful. I-I'll make an effort.

[ He immediately logs off because now he has to make sure he smells nice and is all groomed and brushed and his stubble's not too bad -- more like that dilf vibe right now, so it'll be fine. IT'S FINE. Snake won't roast him for this. ]

[cadeuces]

( Look she's just gotta get one lil wink in there before she scoots, ok. Even if she was going to tell him he's perfect the way he is!! She'll be there with bells on. )
