( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe your chroma's a little low after all that holiday shopping and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!
And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

hi there! my name's hunk. (yes, really.)
sorry if this kind of thing has been brought up before. if it has, i missed it! please feel free to point me in the right direction!
anyway... probably mostly due to cordis problems, people needing food or wanting to learn how to cook has come up a couple of times. and i've also bumped into a lot of people who share a passion for cooking and cuisine! so i'm hoping to organize an easy recipe archive for those who need it AND maybe a team of people available to provide lessons and/or to team up on meal-based community events. that kinda thing!
so let me know if you like to cook and would be down for this? or if you DON'T like to cook and would like some guidance? or just drop your favorite recipes below!
if you're neither of those... which is superior: pancake dinner or spaghetti dinner?

Hello everyone,
I've found that I've had more time to spend working on the culinary arts, as of late, and this has given me the chance to use many ingredients that are new and unfamiliar to me... or at least oddly named. I'm looking for some advice in regards to the following fruit:
[Attached is a picture of an avocado.]
What would you call this? Where I'm from, I've always known it as an alligator pear. I've only ever seen it used for a particular sort of salad... or simply eaten on bread. Is there anything else to be done with it?
Also, since the subject is somewhat related, why would the people here call a rolanberry a strawberry, of all things?
I look forward to your responses!

Has...anyone actually thought about this?
[It feels a little weird to just put his voice out on the network, but Steinbeck feels this is necessary. His voice is slow, pausing every once in a while to make sure he's got his thoughts straight.]
Look, I get it. Getting to pilot a big robot, traveling into the unknown, like yeah, that's pretty cool. But it bothers me how many people are excited for this without thinking of what might happen. You're traveling through a dangerous wasteland that will most likely have creatures that can and will kill you. You're riding in these robot things that haven't been used that way before, so there's no guarantee they'll work properly out there. And you're doing this for what? To get some information? See a cool oasis? Become big damn heroes, or something, all at the possible expense of your own life?
[He heaves a sigh.]
What bothers me most of all is how you're all willing to just do whatever those people tell you. They could say "jump" and you would reply "how high?". They practically using us for their own needs. You know, this isn't our home. For those people who want to stay here and don't want to go back, that's fine, but for the rest of us...there's no real point in doing this for a place that we don't belong to. Even if we're all special and awesome and Moonblessed doesn't mean we need to follow what these people want us to do. We're not their servants, for crying out loud.
Just...think about it. [A beat.] And for anyone who still wants to go...stay safe. It'll be your own funeral out there.
[SEVERAL HOURS LATER AFTER HE POSTS THIS POST AND GETS REACTIONS, Steinbeck updates his post with a text addendum. I'm sorry. He's this petty.]
You know what, I did what I could. If you're all this eager to just go and die, please at least film it to send to me because I really need something to laugh at

[After moon phases have ended for the month, Asami contacts the network with a light smile on her face. There's also a very cute polar bear dog cub playing on the background that looks at Asami the moment she starts speaking.]
Hello. My name is Asami and I have a few questions I wanted to ask. It's mostly about the technology you're familiar with. I'm curious to know what kind of inventions your world has - especially in the area of vehicles and robots. [Her smile is a little wider.] Of course, I wouldn't ask if I wasn't going to share what it's like in my own world, should you be interested in knowing in return.
[Naga now comes over to her. Amused, Asami zooms in closer to her for a moment to give her a chance to say her hello before scratching the back of her ears.]
Wait a few moments longer, Naga. I'll come play with you soon.
[She returns her attention back to the video.]
I'm also looking into finding projects that would help me get better associated with the technology around here. It's all quite new to me. So if anyone has any ideas... let me know?
Thanks.

[ Cue the video feed, which begins with a way-too-close-up of Prompto's face. What can be seen of his face, which is mostly just his eyes and freckled nose, looks excited as hell. This is sort of an impromptu broadcast, but he can't not share this. This is a big, big moment for him.
Everything is about to freakin' change. ]
Heyaz! It's ya boy, Prompto. [ ......... ] Uh, so, y'know that special magic chalk you can get from the Ware Wolf guy? Oh, shit, is that supposed to be on the DL? A-anyway. I got some of that biz, aaaaand now — well, I'll just let it speak for itself.
[ The video then turns away from Prompto's face and to a chalk drawing on the ground: a near-complete rendering of a chocobo inside of circle. That's it. It's literally just a poorly-drawn chocobo inside of a circle, with a bit of its tail missing. It'd been near completion when he decided to share this monumental moment with everyone he possibly could, and he still holds a piece of the chalk in his hand, ready to finish off the last of the drawing. Let's all beseech the summoning gods to not bring forth a chocobo as disfigured as the one that Prompto drew, but its shape is at least recognizable to those who are familiar with the species. ]
Bam. Check it! If this actually works, I'm gonna be the proud papa of a brand new chocobo! One that's alllll my own! But I'll let you guys ride it, if you ask nicely.
[ Anyway, enough chit-chat, it's time for action!!! As he squats down near the drawing again, the feed catches him drawing the last bit of the chocobo's tail. For a moment that stretches into eons, nothing happens, but then —
There's a flash of light that temporarily blocks out anything from come through on the video, but as it begins to fade, there is the distinct, unmistakable sound of a kweh.
In the center of the crudely-drawn-but-apparently-effective summoning circle stands a majestic, bright yellow chocobo. ]
Holyyyyyyy shit! It actually — a-are you guys seeing this? It actually worked! Holy shit, he — she?? She's beautiful, have you ever seen a more fluffy, sweet, perfect animal in the whole wide multiverse?! C'mere — wait, what am I gonna name it? I gotta name it —
[ ...The chocobo turns and starts to trot away. Bye! ]
— aaaand it's leaving. Okay, uhhhh, leave me some name suggestions, look forward to my 24-hour livestream of chocobo life coming at'chu soon! Crap—
[ And the video feed cuts off as he breaks into a run to catch his wayward son or daughter. ]

[The video starts with Cyrus just trying to get herself in the frame so she can be seen, but it eventually settles. There’s a proud smile on her face as her fox ears perk up and her tail can be seen swishing happily behind her.
Okay, proud moment over as she starts speaking.]
Hey, so I have a major request to ask. Can someone teach me how to cook some easy but decent meals? I mean, I learned about frozen dinners and they’re great, but they also deplete my Chroma buying them just as fast as, well, being like this. [She motions to her fox ears, allowing them to twitch a bit.]
Right now, I can make a decent salad! Everything else just tastes bland. I follow the recipes, but it just doesn’t turn out any better than ‘I guess it’s edible’. Anyway, I’d super appreciate someone helping me. I can repay with moonlacing, I guess, since right now my Chroma balance is fluctuating being like this.
Thanks!

[ The feed opens to Ren standing in front of the camera, scowling just a little bit at the person holding the device, though he looks more vaguely amused and exasperated than anything. He holds a piece of paper in his hands, though at the moment, what it actually says is obscured. ] This is really what I have to do? I did apologize, you know.
[The response to that, of course, is just a chuckle and a shrug from somewhere off camera.] It’s either this or I could think of something… better.
[Something about her tone suggests that it probably wouldn’t be any better, though.]
I'm...kind of scared to know your 'better'. [ He admits, sighing dramatically. ] My incredibly kind, smart, and forgiving girlfriend [ He raises an eyebrow at her beyond the camera. ] has agreed to forgive me for being a giant jerk if I do this, so...
[ With that, Ren holds the paper up. Across it in Pidge's neat handwriting are two sentences: Hi! My name is Ren, and the only form of exercise I get is jumping to conclusions!. Is Ren blushing a little? No, of course not, not at all. It's a trick of the light, clearly. ] ...Wait. I exercise! [ Someone apparently didn't actually read the sign beforehand. ]
[That actually makes her laugh, but she appreciates that he’s willing to go along with it, at least. Of course, the flattery helps as well. Pidge waits patiently for him to do as she’s asked, and when he’s done so, she gives him a thumbs up.]
Do you?
[She’s skeptical, Ren, but willing to give the benefit of the doubt since he’s being so cooperative. Had he read the sign beforehand? Pidge honestly can’t say for sure. Knowing Ren, probably not. But that’s fine, as long as he’s willing to admit that he made a mistake before.]

Then, quick as the fox he is, he snatches it up and turns it on Pidge. ] How about 'My name is Katie and I s-- [ But the video cuts out before Ren can finishor be murdered, the victim of a stray button press. ]

[ now that the video feed has stopped showing slow cinematic shots of gelato you get to be greeted by a certain nation just smiling and waving as happily as could be. sanguis season is here again and this time around he seems to simply be sporting the fluffy ears, the littlest fangs and what looks to be an excited wagging tail in the background ]
Ciao, cia~o~!
How is everyone? Doing well I hope! It's been a very active time recently, hasn't it? The weather also seems to be warming up a little more, so doesn't that mean it's time for a certain something to help you relax?
Although, I guess any time is a good time for gelato for me!
[ he laughs, waving it off quickly enough ]
I'm always making gelato and other sweets, if anyone ever wants a taste you should definitely ask! I'm always more than willing to share, and it makes me happy to see people enjoying things. But that aside, I did have a question in mind.
[ he brings his hands together, looking thoughtful for a moment before perking up once again ]
What sorts of flavours make you think of home? Or even, what kind of flavour would you like to look for in gelato? I'm always experimenting, so having the opinions of others is always great to work off of! Since we have so many people from so many different places, it seems like a great chance to try something new and exciting!
[ hands planted on the counter-top he playfully pushes himself up on it, leaning in excitedly to the camera ]
Also! Do you think gelato affects moonblessed the same way it would affect other animals? I've been thinking of making a gelato safe for dogs for Berlitz, because I feel bad enjoying it in front of him and not sharing--Do you think that would be beneficial for everyone as well?
Let me know what you think! I would like everyone's thoughts and opinions, maybe make a little something everyone can enjoy!
