💍💸👄

[ What does one do after the Cordis cycle, after a tiring few days? Stay in bed and... post because she has nothing better to do. She will be judging everyone. ]

Out of curiosity, how many of you are looking for moonlacing partners? I mean, you could probably just ask a friend or something, but for the more available, what do you have to offer that makes you stand out from the others who are looking for partners?

Show a picture of yourself and what you're looking for. I'll provide a sample.

NAME Reyvenne
AGE 53
LOOKING FOR I need a lot of money. A LOT. I'm a bandit but I don't want to live a life of crime here so I'm going to need to moonlace with at least 30 people a month. 
OFFERING What. You don't think I'm hot?

I suppose they're a little bit of an oddity around here. Not many other sin'dorei in Lunatia.

I guess not. I like them really. I do a lot of baking as well so I'll trade you hugs and recipes for pastries and hair care tips.

I'm Eva Rosalene. Here I'm working for the Lunar Scientia; at home I'm a doctor. Not a medical one though.

I don't mind them much myself.

:)

[he has learned emoji but he still gives them an entirely separate line.]

Maybe we could bake together sometime. I've always liked making food with someone.

May I ask what kind of doctor you are, Eva?

Now there's a good idea. It's been forever since I made anything with someone who wasn't below the age of ten.

[Her nephew Jamie is a good kid but cooking with children is work sometimes.]

You could say I'm a psychologist. My work is a little different from that strictly but it's not too far off.

[He actually feels a little pang of jealousy at that, thinking it means she either has a kid or, at least, regularly babysits. Makes him miss his son.]

I promise that I'm slightly less messy with flour.

Hmm. Can I ask about the distinction?

I'll hold you to that.

Sure but the explanation is probably going to be sort of long. The basic is I'm a senior memory traversal agent with the Sigmund Corporation. Now if you want me to tell you what that is is when we get a little lengthy.

Hey, I love learning.

[He doesn't entirely get it, but memory traversal sounds pretty interesting.]

Alright but you've only got yourself to blame.

[Ahem. This likely ends up as several texts. She apologizes.]

Where I'm from we have technology that translates a person's memories into an interactable simulation. Through the machine we can also create new memories based on existing data within the machine and the person's own desires of how they want those memories shaped.

Unfortunately the technology doesn't work well with individuals who regain consciousness for long periods of time. The conflict between the authentic memories and the created ones causes brain damage. With this being the case, the technology is used to give dying patients a chance to live out some wish they have. Only through memories, of course.

So that's what I do alongside my partner. We enter a patient's memories, work our way to their earliest memories and then find a way to implant the desire for whatever their wish is into these memories. From there the machine and the patient themselves create completely new memories shaped around fulfilling that wish.

[She wasn't kidding: this is a lot of information. It takes a little time for Adra to reply, mostly because he's reading it carefully.]

You compared yourself to a psychologist ... so this is some kind of final therapy, then.

More or less. It's a chance for the person to do... whatever they want really. Some people wish to take chances they didn't in life, pursue interests they had, maybe even just travel. Some totally redo their lives over and some change very little.

It's basically a chance for them to die content or even happy. Not exactly without regrets most of the time but... even the best lives have regrets.

[She still believes that, honest she does. Even if she's been questioning the job lately and what they do, particularly after their latest case with Collin Reeds. She desperately needs to believe it because otherwise...]

I can see the compassion in it, and I understand that this is something you only do for terminal patients, but ...

I don't know. I wouldn't want to finish my life that way. I'd die thinking I was someone else.

Trust me, you're not the only one. There's all sorts of opinions about what we do. Yours is a pretty common one.

[And frankly it's sort of the one that haunts her the most.]

Sorry. I don't mean to judge.

There's no reason to apologize. Judgement is just what people do. Whether we have impressively long ears or not.

There's nothing inherently good or bad about it unless your actions make it good or bad, right? Now maybe if you suddenly didn't want to bake a cupcake with me, we'd have a problem then.

Hah

No, we should definitely bake cupcakes sometime

:)

Do you have a favorite flavor?

Personally I'm all about carrot cake.

[She makes great ones, no matter what Neil says. Neil has no taste.]

Healthy! I like red velvet, myself. But it's hard to go wrong with any pastry that you make with love and care.

[... What a sweet guy. No seriously, do you know how many grumps there are here? It's like a breath of fresh air to read someone with a somewhat happy attitude.]

I guess you've got a point there. Red velvet is definitely my second choice too. I just happen to really like vegetables.

Oh, same. I'm a vegetarian, actually.

[Adra is pretty easily rankled, but he's always happy to talk about food!]

Oh yeah? So what's your favorites then?

[Man just went up more than a few notches with her. She's not a vegetarian herself but yeah.]

I have a pretty decent garden at home. Mostly things like cucumbers, tomatoes, different types of salad greens... I was in an apartment so there isn't much room for anything too big.

Hmm

Roasted broccolini doused with just a little melted butter

Sauteed mushrooms

Tomatoes and parmesan ... and fingerling potatoes

I had an expansive garden. I miss it already

Oh I feel you there. There's nothing quite as relaxing after a long day as tending to a garden. Or cooking either.

[Sauteed mushrooms. Tomatoes and parmesan. Hm.]

Sounds like you would like Italian food quite a bit. How are you with garlic?

Haven't heard of 'Italian' but I do know garlic! Goes well in soups and stews

I practice meditation, but pulling up weeds and putting together a meal ... those things come close

Alright then, you bake with me and I'll fix an Italian dinner. All vegetarian, I promise.

I've never really had the time to meditate. ... I suppose I don't have that excuse now, huh.

That sounds like a deal.

No, you certainly don't. I can teach you how, in exchange for the dinner.
