Lots of people seem a touch down lately. So, everyone! I have a simple game that might cheer us all up, or at least make Iris cycle go by faster for me while I read everyone's replies!

You have to post your type! Physical preferences, personality traits you really like, your dream partner! Go on and list it, and people can say if they know someone like that, perhaps tease you for your preferences, that sort of thing. You can post anonymously here too, if you're shy! Just have fun!

Also, here is a funny picture I found. Enjoy!

huh? no?
I was just telling you why i had a bad time, that's all.
unless you really can break curses, i mean
can you?

Oh no, that's good. I haven't exactly had any experience with most curses, so I'd be no good with anything here.

Are you normally this unlucky, then? To have such a rough time since you got here, I mean.

only when it comes to a certain number

[??????????????????????? MISTA HOW THE FUCK IS HE MEANT TO RESPOND TO THIS]

Is

Is this part of your curse? I won't ask you to tell me which number if you're concerned, but I can't say I've heard of anything like this before.

i don't know, maybe?
look, the number four is really unlucky
and when I got here there were a lot of instances all at once
i mean, you know, gotta avoid it at all costs
i could die or someone else might die
a cat might die
anyway, the fourth time it happened was when i went to the fortune teller
and you know that four times four is so

[ okay maybe it's mista traumatising avdol ]

I see.

That's a lot to deal with.

Thankfully, I'm fairly certain that death isn't permanent around here, considering all the 'coming back from the dead' cases we have. So you can afford to be a little less stressed out, right?

of course it is!
but like hell i wanna die, even if it's not permanent
i know too many people who've been there already
and i'm not prepared for that
i've already come close more than enough times

Do you lose a lot of hair by any chance? You...Must be stressed, a lot.

no? my hair is just fine!
most of the time I like for things
not to be so complicated but
I guess right now that’s not working out so well

Well that's a relief! People tend to lose hair a little more when they're stressed, so I was genuinely worried for your health. As long as you look after that much, then everything else will follow through, you know?

But things are definitely their own brand of complicated in this place. Is there anything in particular that you're not coping with?

i never have enough chroma
that's enough of a struggle without adding some of the other shit into the mix

Oh! Really? Would you like me to moonlace with you to help out? I'm not suggesting anything too intimate, but every little bit counts, right?

seriously?
you would do that?

Of course! What, you think that I'd let you turn into a crystal statue just because I made bad jokes about finding a girlfriend?

Where would you like to meet? And what are your moonlacing limits? Past the obvious. I don't want to try and hug you to get you enough chroma to buy a cheap meal if you're going to hate that!

well, no i guess not?
it's just a lot to offer to someone you don't know, i guess?

where works for you?
i'm good with hugging, mostly
well
pretty much just hugging.

Well, once we meet up and start hugging, I think that counts as knowing each other. It works out, in the end!

I'm glad you're alright with hugging, too. I figure that's the easiest way for people to moonlace without going into boundaries and intimacy and all that sort of thing, and it nets a little more chroma than just holding hands! If you're alright with meeting up in Caihong, I'll see you there! I'll be the man with facial scars, golden earrings, and black hair!

[And you bet your ass he's motoring to Caihong soon as he sends that; Mista's chroma levels are very important to him, alright!!! ...And it's an excuse for him to go see if they have clams for the chickens and mooncakes for him!!!]

yeah, definitely
i'll be there

[ Did he really need to put more than that in there? Nah, probably not, besides it was better to make his way over now anyway.

Not that he was hurting for Chroma.

Except he was, poor bastard. It didn't take him long to find Avdol based on that description. And when he did, it wasn't exactly the most eloquent of meetings. Mista took a moment to size him up, letting out a whistle before offering out a hand for a shake. ]

Holy shit, you're huge!

[ Yep, that's it. ]

[...Mista, please.

Mista.

1. what the fuck is that outfit. (Says the man dating tittywindows mcA-belt, but you know.) 2. what is that introduction.

Avdol looks at the proffered hand, then at the face distantly attached to it, and promptly bursts out in warm laughter as he goes for the handshake.] Really? I feel perfectly normal-sized! You really know how to make a man feel special, you know?

Mohammed Avdol, by the way. A pleasure to meet you. Shall we get started?

[ It wasn't even that Avdol was that much taller than he was, just that much more built. It was impressive, okay? Maybe it was just his general presence that was big, in reality Mista couldn't put his finger on it. ]

I mean, it's just...look at you?

[ Christ, how much did this guy work out? Focus, Mista, focus. ]

Guido Mista. I guess I'm ready if you are? You're really doing me a solid here, I swear I'll find a way to return the favour.

[ Nevermind that Chroma benefited them both, but the offer was out there now. How often did a total stranger offer to meet you for hugs?

Around here, probably a lot. ]

[Welcome to Part 3 motherfucker, we're all swole. Ann could probably kick your ass, Mista. But hey, it really is flattering! Avdol puffs up a little with pride, idly combing a hand through his ponytail once the shake's broken--

BUT PRIORITIES, MAN. He's gotta hold up his end of this deal here!] You really don't need to worry so much. I do get something out of this as is, and helping people is always a good thing besides.

So c'mere, Guido! [GET READY FOR A BEAR HUG FROM WARM CHICKEN DAD, SON. HERE IT COMES.]

[ Oh, that was one hell of a hug wasn't it? He knew it was coming but he hadn't expected it so quickly, a sharp oof as his arms just kind of went wherever he could rest them.

Warm, as always, Mista finally shifting his arms to at least try and reciprocate the hug. ]

A-ah, Mista is fine, s'what everyone else calls me...

[ Hugs good. Chroma good. Although, it was still kind of awkward, wasn't it? After what felt like a pause that went on for far too long he cleared his throat. ]

Soooo, where did you come from?

As you like then, Mista! Sorry for being a little too informal.

[Look, it's plenty awkward. Avdol knows it's awkward, and he just can't beat out the feeling of embarrassment at hugging a stranger in public, much as he tries to justify it with how much of a public service it is to hug away. So thanks for the conversation, Mista! You're the best!] I come from Egypt, though. ...And you're Italian, aren't you?

You don't happen to be friends with more Italian gentlemen, do you? Who might've also come here? Because if so, I believe that we're long overdue a meeting.

Nah, it's not too informal, I'm just not used to it?

[ The more that he thought about it, when was the last time that anyone really called him by his first name? Weird. At any rate, that was a curious question but not completely out of place considering his name. ]

Yeah, there's a few of us here...

[ He would ask why, but the answer was obvious enough. He let out a nervous chuckle before going on. ]

...I hope none of the other guys were talking shit about me or something.

[ Shit, should he be cussing? This guy seemed like...a nice guy? Fuck. ]

That's alright. Just before coming here, I'd gotten quite used to being called 'Avdol' over 'Mohammed', but now, it's changed back to first name basis. Whatever makes you comfortable, especially considering we're all up close and personal at the moment.

[Mista gets a hearty shoulder pat for his efforts, which is hopefully not completely off-putting! He's doing his best here, he swears.] ...They haven't 'talked shit' about you at all, though! I just know them, and it feels like all of the Italians I've met here have known each other quite well...Maybe I just keep running into your friend group, that's all.

It makes sense, though. You seem like a good man, and I'm already fairly fond of your other friends. Birds of a feather, you know?

[ Strong hands. He let out a puff of air as he got that pat on the shoulder, leaning in just a little toward the warmth. It wasn’t so bad hugging a stranger he guessed, though did it really count when said stranger already knew your friends? ]

Seriously? Not any of them?

[ It wasn’t that he wanted them to talk shit about him, but he found it hard to believe when they all prodded at each other the way they did. Still, he was glad for it because he hadn’t really said anything about the rest of them either and it brought an unseen smile to his face. ]

Uhh, thanks, I guess? How did you meet the rest of them? Doing the fortune teller thing?
