[She was going to try and do this anonymous, and voice to text, but instead she accidentally hit the video option.

So everyone gets a scene of a flustered looking Lapis Lazuli.]

Is it normal for the moon stuff to be so extreme? Not that I'm complaining just...

[A sigh.]

It's unexpected how bad it got.

... And you would prefer to retreat into that core and have to endure what I imagine must be a lengthy and energy-intense process of regenerating a body, rather than dealing with your moonblessing.

[Yikes. Was it really that bad?]

[riptidequeen]

I've done it before, it's not that energy-intense. It just takes some time.

[For someone whose species isn't really all up ons the sex stuff, yes it was.

The sex was fine though.]

[meteorman]

Yes, but -- is that a sustainable solution, doing that once a month? Possibly twice?

[riptidequeen]

I won't know until I try it, sir.

[THEY NEVER EXCHANGED NAMES, whoopsie.]

[meteorman]

[They super fucking didn't, because neither of them is particularly good at or well versed in social norms. Oops!]

That's true. There's no reason not to at least test it. If you can maintain enough Chroma to live comfortably despite all that lost time then it may be a suitable solution for you.

[Just like... pls don't starve. He isn't yet aware that gems also don't eat.]

[riptidequeen]

Oh right... Chroma.

[She can't help but make a face, she kind of forgot about the whole thing of need Chroma to do fancy shit.]

That puts a bit of a wrench in the whole idea.

don't feel obligated to respond to this since it's so late!

[meteorman]

If you can spend a solid day or so with someone you might be able to stockpile enough to make up the difference.

[If the issue is, you know, the whole Iris heat thing specifically. A day doesn't even have to mean sex, she can just do a marathon hug session, it's fine.]

Ultimately you can't know until you try it. This is all conjecture when we don't even have actual numbers to be working with.

[riptidequeen]

I spent half a day with someone, and I don't use Chroma for much aside from living expenses.

[And that's all she'll say on the subject.]

It might not be worth it.
