Text - Phase Two

[pishirogane]

Good afternoon, Moonblessed.

For those who missed my previous post, my name is Naoto and I've been busy further developing a project that finally reached its testing phase three months ago. I'm now announcing that it's time for phase two testing and I require several more volunteers. Though previous testers would be preferred, there's no obligation to participate again if you don't want to.

Contact me for further details, but know that it's primarily for those Iris-blessed.

Thank you.

That's what the test is for this time around - we don't want it changing while in use; that's something to decide before. Anyway, this is if you want to be a tester. If you're uncomfortable with this, it's not an issue, Ophilia-san.

[clodpole]

Goodness, no! It isn’t so much that I’m uncomfortable with it so much as it is, erm…

[ Well, she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a little uncomfortable. That’s not what she’s here to ask Naoto about, though. ]

It isn’t… loud, is it? The noise won’t carry through walls, for instance, or disturb anybody else…?

[pishirogane]

Ah...

[She supposed that was a problem sometimes...]

No, the device itself isn't that loud.

[clodpole]

I-I see…

And before, you mentioned it changing—how would somebody go about, um… making that decision…?

[pishirogane]

By running your finger along it and thinking about the form you'd like it to take.

[clodpole]

I-I see…

[ They stew in silence for a moment. Eager to break it, Ophilia fakes a cough. ]

I suppose those were all the questions I had for you. When will you be expecting… feedback?

[pishirogane]

Well, I don't expect to receive feedback until after the cycles end. Since the Iris Cycle is immediately followed by the Triple Moons - the earliest day to begin submitting feedback would be the 19th.

[clodpole]

Right! But of course! How silly of me!

Shall I, erm, speak with you after the moon cycles have ended, then?

[pishirogane]

Yes. I want you to be able to relay how it worked with clarity. You don't have to provide every detail, but during the cycle, having restraint can be... questionable.

[ Doesn’t she know it? Ophilia gives Naoto a sheepish little smile, then starts to pack the box up. She’s grateful that, ignoring its contents, it’s pretty discreet. She’d have a hard time smuggling it into her apartment otherwise. ]

I’ll… I’ll do my best.

Thank you again for your hospitality and, ah…

[ She tucks the box into one arm so that she can gesture vaguely with the other. You know. ]

[pishirogane]

You're welcome. Thank you for volunteering, Ophilia-san.

[If she has any roommates, hopefully they wouldn't go looking through Ophilia's things. Naoto would see about making something more discreet; yes, it could already change forms so what was one more?]
