[Good morning, Lunatia. The video starts with a view of hooves, a too close view of a face... and then finally... a centaur? Who keeps looking off screen while she talks and never seems to actually focus on the lens correctly.]

Hello? Can everyone see me? Connor, am I doing this right? Okay? ... Okay.

[She clears her throat and dips into a bow, the camera bobbing along with her.]

Hello! This is Konoha... some of you maybe think my name is Shizu, but- It's Konoha! I'm from Echigo province, in Japan, if you know it... and I'll be in your care.

If you don't know me, which, I figure is most of you, this city must be even bigger than the capital I'm the... well in my world we say jinba but I'm the "centaur". I haven't seen anyone else like me so I think I can say "the"...

Anyway... what I wanted to ask was... if anyone had an recommendations for... shops? I've never really shopped before, and I haven't seen any locals quite like me, so if you know somewhere that does... I don't know, tailoring? Or a restaurant with really big seats or tall tables? Anything like that!

I'd appreciate it, so... thank you very much!

[Another bow, another bob of the camera... and a blurry flash of android helping her turn the dang thing off. Thanks, Connor.]

[Initially, all that's visible in this video are a pair of wide, innocent-looking red eyes, with slit pupils that could almost be mistaken for another draconic moonblessing feature. Then they blink, and the image withdraws...and tilts back to being straight, because Ren's sitting curled on a chair with his black, draconic wings and tail wrapped around him, and three sets of golden horns of varying lengths poking out of his head, the longest set probably over a foot in length in front of the bun he's put his hair in so it doesn't get caught in his wings. As such, his head is actually tilted to one side onto his knees, explaining the initial odd angle of the video.]

So how many people have turned into dragons so far...? I think I saw one posting about something else yesterday, but a bunch of other people seem to have just turned into their normal stuff. Isn't this way cooler, though? [He says that with a clawed hand to one side of his mouth, as if sharing a secret, his overall manner cheerful but somewhat airheaded.

After a moment, he drops his hand and waves it, as if to dismiss the topic for now.]
But other than wanting to see all you other dragons out there, I had some other stuff to ask about. First is that I'm looking for people who are good at art or programming for something I'm working on setting up. I still need to do all the boring business license stuff sometime this month, but I want to make sure I'll have good people to do it with, you know? So if you're interested in that kind of thing or know about coding games for the virtual reality systems here, I'd like to see even just how many people are interested in helping make a game...or bring a game here, I guess. I'll see how things go~

[Making something from scratch might be easier than bringing Vanguard over in some form, but he's not prepared to abandon the latter idea entirely just yet. In any case, he raises a finger, then raises a second one. It looks like he's been sharpening his claws...]

And secondly, I've been trying to figure out what the best tea and coffee shops in the city are since I arrived, since I found some pretty bad quality places to start with...and even ones that served instant coffee... [There's an almost exaggeratedly despairing quality to the way he says that which implies instant coffee is probably a fate worse than death to him, but he promptly jumps back to cheery in the next moment.] I ended up making a list of each of them, so I figured I'd share it to save other people the trouble. You're welcome to join me for a drink if you like the sound of any of the places~

[What follows in a text post is a list of 20 stores for tea and 20 for coffee, ranging from the rightly well-known to hole-in-the-wall artisan spots that probably don't even display their name on the front. There's also brief notes for each, including things like nice decor and whether they specialise in specific kinds of coffee or tea on top of just being good in general. Basically, if you favour a certain kind of coffee or tea that can be considered good quality, there's probably a store specialising in it on there somewhere.]

[The video opens to Fish awake, sitting up in what seems to be their bed. Their dressing gown is on, at least. It's late at night in Lunatia-- give or take about 3am. And if your volume is up high enough, you might catch the sound of... someone? being very busy the next room over. Fish looks pretty concerned.]

Ah... hello.

[This is awkward.]

It's been a while since I've used this to address the whole network but... I was wondering how people deal with... ah... cats?

[And there's the sound of a door busting open and a blur of violet getting in the way of the camera and Fish and the suggestion that the merfolk threw their hand up so as to save the communicator from getting knocked over.]

Molly what--?

Ignore me, I'm just sneaking in here.

Wait, I can't--

Yeah, it's fine, just let me crawl in here.

I'm on the communicator.

Great. I don't wanna talk I just wanna sit...

[Rustle rustle.]

Perfect.

[A pause of silence.]

Continue, I'm comfortable now.

[The communicator comes down again, a little closer to Fish's face this time, they look defeated. But there's a very content, lavender-skinned, heavily tattooed tiefling on them, their tail swishing lazily and making a mess of the video a bit.]

I guess now you all know what I need... ah... a bit of advice on. Sorry, I'll get to replying to any answers later. It isn't the easiest having a lap full of cat-like tiefling.

[They huff and grin before turning the feed off.]

[ when the feed flicks on, it's to japan seated neatly in a chair, hand withdrawing from the phone to curl in his lap. he offers a bow, straightening with a slightly uncertain expression. ]

Good afternoon. My name is Japan-- [ a slight waver there; it still feels a little strange to introduce himself this way to strangers. ] --and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I've chosen to address the network largely for the purpose of asking advice, which I suppose is a time-honored tradition among internet users. As there's no Twitter here to turn to, well.. [ he trails off, then spreads his hands in a small shrug.

anyway. ]
As a nation, my government has generally provided for me for quite some time. I do a fair amount of volunteer work, but well.. it's not the same thing as holding employment. Particularly not on another planet. [ a beat. right, get to the point. ] I would like to work for [ er. ] one of the moonblessed? If possible, that is. I've heard that there are some few that may be opening businesses of their own. If not.. it would be nice to hear about where you're working. If you are, that is. Perhaps it will give me some ideas.

[ he sighs, shoulders dropping slightly. ] Though.. I'm not eager to begin just yet. It's been quite a long week, hasn't it? With the dragons, that is. [ a beat, then he perks up slightly. ] As the little ones have been returned to their parents now, though, if you have photos that you'd like to share, I'd like to see them. The dragonlings that I saw over the last few days were all very unique. It's interesting, how they took on traits of us. Don't you think?

[ Despite how nerve-racking the thought of addressing all Moonblessed is to Kougyoku, she pushes forward with her plan to post on the network. This is important, after all. A dragon's basic needs are at stake! So the feed opens to a simple yet elegant room, a young woman in regal robes at the center of it. ]

Good evening, I am Kougyoku Ren. I am a new arrival and I'm not familiar with this technology at all, so I thought it would be best to use the clairvoyance function on this... phone. [ A beat. ] No, I'm sure they called it something else... [ PEEKS AT HER NOTES ] Video! Yes. That aside, I have a few questions regarding these dragons in our care.

Firstly, what do your dragons eat? I have been feeding mine fruit and he seems to like it very much, but I am worried if some foods are poisonous to him.

Next, how large have your dragons grown? Mine is— [peeking over her shoulder as it chews on her long red locks. Its features are aquatic in nature, what with the fins for ears and the jewel on its forehead. It also has a beauty mark under its left eye.] —the size of a large dog and I am curious if it can grow any bigger. Will it still fit on my bed?

Finally, what did you name yours? I can't decide on a name for mine. Whoever can think of a good one gets a small prize of their choosing! ... I haven't decided on the prize yet, but there will be a prize!

If you have any answers, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you! That is all!

[ The princess holds her position for a moment, fiddles with the buttons, and... ]

Phew! [ The dragon stops chewing and scampers off as Kougyoku slumps against her chair and places a hand over her chest. ] Oh, I can still feel my heart pounding... I hope people will reply. How does Kouen do it?

[ Hopefully, people will be honest about their answers too! She's excited to learn more about caring for her dragon. Someone should tell her the camera's still rolling, though. ]

[Sometime during early evening... Maybe you opened an app on your bracelet to listen to some tunes, or maybe you're on the subway or out shopping when you hear a soft, somewhat soothing voice ring through some speakers broadcasting public radio:]

"Are we live?"

[Just as calm and serene as that voice, a jingle plays, eventually fading into background music as the voice begins speaking again.]

My esteemed peers, a good evening to you. From planet Earth's 765 Productions, I am Takane Shijou, your host for tonight's installment of Are We Live? Friday. A slight deviation of a highly successful television program back in my home world, I hope you will allow me to accompany you during your evening commute with some mild entertainment.

expositional flavor text )

... It is now time for the segment that management has decided to label "Hair it Out." [There's a brief pause as some mumbling can be heard in the background.] Hm? Oh? Oh dear. I see. My apologies, my dear listeners, but it seems it is actually called "Air it Out". In this segment, you may call in and speak whatever it is that you wish to release from the confines of your heart. Whether it is an announcement or to seek advice, I shall listen well and attempt to offer my input to the best of my ability. If this interests you, please the studio a call at...

[She provides the necessary contact information, and waits. This is where you, fellow moonblessed, step in. Feel free to give her a ring, share your thoughts, your darkest secrets, your worries by commenting to this subthread. She'll be here to listen to it, as will everyone else in Lunatia.

For those who would like to speak with her off-air after the broadcast, she's easily accessed via the network like everyone else.]

[ 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.

[ the saniwa--and konnosuke, perched across his shoulders like a cat--appears to be in caihong at the moment, if the scenery behind him is any indication. he's also frowning faintly, gold eyes drifting away from the video, out toward the rest of the district. after a moment, though, he clears his throat and refocuses, dipping his chin politely in greeting. ]

I don't pretend to be an expert-- [ and konnosuke pipes up cheerfully with: ] Master's expertise is Time, actually. [ the saniwa's lips quirk, and he reaches up to gently close konnosuke's mouth between thumb and forefinger. ] Enough of that, now. [ he releases the fox and shifts. ] --Isn't it odd that a planet and culture that supposedly developed completely separately from Earth is so.. familiar in some ways? [ a gesture to indicate the area he's in. ] Even on Earth sometimes, differing cultures can seem alien to one another, and yet there are very recognizable things here. Maybe it's not just this place. After all, the humanoid shape seems to be pretty universal, given how many people are here from so many different worlds and realities. [ an uncertain head-tilt. ] Maybe it's some kind of.. evolutionary archetype. [ his nose wrinkles up at the bridge. ] I guess that doesn't make a lot of sense.

[ a beat, then he heaves a sigh. konnosuke gently prods his jaw with a paw, and the tired look vanishes, replaced with faint amusement instead. ]

Konnosuke would also like to respectfully request that all of you keep an eye out for delicious tofu dishes. Particularly as I can't cook, and I don't think that any of the swords here can, either.

[ the fox's tail swishes happily. ] I'll trade pets and cuddles for it! [ the comment gets a slightly scandalized sideways glance from the saniwa. ] --When did you become so shameless..?

[ he reaches and ends the video. ]

[The video feed in this post is very focused, looking up at the upper part of a moon-shaped chair like it's sitting on the cushions. Taking up most of that space is Ren (and the hair that he's made a token effort to try and contain in probably the fattest plait known to humankind) in all his Cordis-touched glory, fluffy fox tail wrapped around him and ears twitching a bit as he files his long claws. As he speaks, sharp canines are visible poking out from just under his lip.

Also, the attentive might notice he's not filing his claws down. He's filing them up to worryingly sharp points, a sharp contrast to the cutesy, airheaded manner he starts speaking in as he tweaks at the top of his oversized sweater to stop it slipping off his shoulders.]


So I guess that moon stuff is happening to everyone, right...? But I don't think everyone knows how to properly look after fur and feathers and things...oh, and scales, I think I saw some fish people around during the last moon. So I was wondering if anyone had any advice about that sort of thing? I'm sure nobody wants gross stuff in their new animal bits while this is all going on because they don't know how to clean them properly, and there must be people who are more used to dealing with that stuff. Even if I don't have feathers or scales, I'm sure there's other people who it could be useful for. Nobody wants scale rot or weird moulting problems, right~?

[A cutesy sort of smile comes at that. Honestly, he's mostly asking because he wants to see what people have turned into, but hey, making a resource might put him on good terms with some people.]

Oh, and has anyone looked for grooming stuff at the shops...? I guess there has to be that sort of thing here since I've seen lots of furry people since I arrived, but it's pretty boring to go look through a big shopping center alone...if anyone wants to come with me, maybe I could treat you to something in return.

[He says that so innocently that it's probably safe to assume he doesn't mean anything weird...even if he's passed by the shops well enough to know there's some questionable stuff there he could definitely tease the heck out of someone with. But he's definitely not planning to do that. Look at this eminently trustworthy and adorable face with no ill intentions whatsoever.

And those claws that he's still cheerfully filing to dagger points with the air of someone who has no idea how that could possibly be an odd thing to be doing.]

[[There's also an open log here which includes a prompt for if anyone does want to get teased by go looking for grooming supplies with Ren, plus some other moon cycle shenanigans!]]

( The feed flickers on to a young man sitting at a table in the apartments in all of his courtroom finery. While he very much looks as though he's done his best to make himself as presentable as possible, there's no disguising the bags under his eyes. This is very much a man who has not had very a good night's sleep in a long time. )

Good morning. For those who I've not met before, my name is Miles Edgeworth. I was a prosecuting attorney from Los Angeles, California, in the United States of America on the planet Earth.

( Truly, what has his life come to that he has to make that clarification! )

I have been reflecting on the events that have occurred since our arrival on this planet, particularly during the festival. ( The plants had been bizarre and all, but he hadn't overly involved himself with them, having found other people more suited to what he has decided to consider extreme weeding. )

While I understand that the natives of this world might be more accustomed to free intimate contact between strangers, I consider it downright criminal that our food and drink at the festival might have been laced with substances that affect our behaviour without our knowledge or consent. If anyone suspects they may have consumed some of the contaminated items, I would be most interested in talking with you further.

Has anyone as of yet read anything of worth from the Lunar Scientia? Since the vine issue seemed to take up most of our precious time, I have only been able to thumb through a few things regarding the city and its culture. I would honestly take any suggestions.

Except for any contemporary fiction. I've lost all faith in any present literature after having to see with my own two eyes award-winning titles such as: "A Knot To Remember", "Much Ado About Yiffing", and "My Lover, the Sanguis with the Big Chest".
