[Good morning, Prismatica! This is Kay Faraday all up in everyone's biz, and she...doesn't seem to be affected by her moonblessing even though the triple moon cycle is now in effect. There are no odd ears or other features, and in fact, she's reaching up to touch her head and feel it from different angles.]

You know you've been in this city for way too long when not turning into an animal during your cycle is weird. I was one hundred percent waiting to wake up with bunny ears [Kay holds up two fingers over her head, in front of her ponytail, to illustrate.] again like always last Iris, but nothing! [She spreads her arms, and shrugs.] I don't mind not turning into anything, but I really liked the electric magic that came with being an Iris or whatever you call someone who's Iris...

I'm just worried if this means I'm gonna get some different crazy moonblessing like the time I became a fox. But now that I think about it...

[A snap of her fingers.]

Hey, if you could choose what animal you'll change into every time your moon cycle is happening, what would it be?

Comments

[kayssistant]

I've been to it, but mostly for jogging and splashing around. I mean, I don't even know how to scuba dive yet.

[She pauses.]

...Maybe I should start taking lessons!

[Because why not. Kay hasn't turned into an animal that can breathe underwater anyway.]

[riptidequeen]

I'm sure there is someone around here who could teach you how to uh... Scuba.

[kayssistant]

With all the technology around, I'd be surprised if they didn't have anything they could use to explore the sea.

Oh, by the way, I'm Kay. [She breaks into laughter.] Heh, that rhymes!

[riptidequeen]

Mm, heh, nice to meet you Kay.

I'm Lapis Lazuli.

[kayssistant]

It's nice to meet you! You have a beautiful name.

[The same as the name of a certain blue rock sometimes used for ornaments and jewelry. Coincidence?]

[riptidequeen]

[No coincidence, although saying her name is beautiful gets a blush out of Lapis.]

Oh, um, thank you?

[kayssistant]

Are you really named after the shiny blue stones used to make jewelry?

[Now she's asking.]

[riptidequeen]

[Makes a face at the jewelry comment.]

No, I am one.

[kayssistant]

Wow, really? And you can breathe underwater...do you have any other powers?

[She's just going to assume Lapis is like a superhero.]

[riptidequeen]

Well... I can control water?

[Lapis would say she's no hero so don't think of her as one, if she knew.]

[kayssistant]

Ooh, can you show me sometime? That sounds cool!

[riptidequeen]

Um... Sure, I can do that.

[kayssistant]

Awesome! I can't wait!

[She sounds so excited.]

[riptidequeen]

[Lapis is just going to flash a small smile and a thumbs up at her device/Kay now.]
