I've been here for a year and I think I may have a little bit of artists' block. I think it might be the summer heat.
When I first got here I got to do some scuba diving. I haven't gotten to do this for awhile and I'd like to give it another try since it's so warm out. It's probably a long shot, but if anyone here is skilled in it, would you mind answering some questions? While I'm sure there are places to learn - it can't hurt to ask here first.
And a few curious questions.
1. Tell me something interesting about the world you were before here. I'm always looking to hear stories from where you're from. So if you have a story you spontaneously want to share, send me a message.
2. An interesting thing you've learned about this world. The Moons and Chroma don't count, I'd bet that's different from most, if not all, places. Something like a hidden gem of a restaurant,
3. What do you do to get inspiration? New location? Where's your favorite place to get inspired here?
4. Where's your favorite place to pick up some new furniture.
That being said, I have the opportunity to set up a permanent studio here, which should prevent my cat** from spilling tea on stuff when he wants attention.
**Cat pictures can be sent upon request.

[ The video flickers on and Rohan's at his desk. He sets down the pen he has in his hand on the desk in front of him. He looks fairly serious, though his tone has a certain ease to it when he speaks. A cat is perched on his left shoulder, white and a little fluffy and leaning into his space at every opportunity. Rohan makes no attempt to get the cat out of his bubble. ]
Good evening, everyone. Just a couple of quick things.
I finally found a reliable publisher. [ He leans forward, placing his chin in his palm. ] Which means that some of the recent manga I'm working on can finally be more easily accessed by the public as soon as it's ready. I'm considering making it easily accessible in a digital format, too.
That having been said, I am in need of a few models. This is a paid job, and I found studio space that I can use when I need to meet someone. This is a little different from if I weren't drawing you. I like to keep in practice, and I like to use a variety of different people. It keeps my skills sharp.
[ The cat, poised on his shoulder, starts to nudge his head against Rohan's face, wanting attention. He brings his hand up, moving his fingers over the fur. This seems to satisfy whatever attention it was wanting and returns to just settling himself in. ]
And the last is I am also taking commissions. I work very quickly, so if you need it fairly soon, let me know. I'll need to know what you're looking for and how big of a project it is. We can meet either in the studio space I'm using, at a park, or cafe if preferred to just discussing here.
Just drop me a line here, privately, or whatever works for you for any of the above.

so i have a couple of questions.
first question, people who've turned into more than one thing because of their moonblessing before. do you like one better than the other? i don't mean being a cordis and then being an iris or something like that, i mean...like sometimes you're a cat and then sometimes you're a fox. or something like that. are you more comfortable as one thing than as another thing.
second question, people who've turned into a dragon. how do you turn the voice thing off. can you turn it off or do you have to just not talk until sanguis is over or what.
third question, say you've been through something pretty fucked up and you want to put it behind you. how do you know when you're really over it and not just pretending that you're over it? i mean what if you think you're fine and then something happens to make you realize you're not really fine. how do you fix that.
last question, i read somewhere that flowers have meanings. how do i find out what flowers mean. is there a book or something or can you just ask a florist or what. do people even care what flowers mean anyway or are they just flowers.
ok i think that's it.

I have a question. Consider it a bit of a survey or questionnaire. I'm curious. I want to remain anonymous, so that people feel like they can safely remain anonymous, as well.
What does love mean to you here? What did it mean to you at home? Is it different for both?
Relationships are seemingly more complicated here than they would be at most of our homes. I was wondering if others felt the same.
How are you managing it here in a place where it does seem more complicated? Are you doing the same things you would have done if you were at home?
Thank you for your time.

I'm looking for my -- [ "leaf," wait -- no one but her and Lewin has any inkling what the hell that means, so, and smoothly for all that she sounds more than less on the urgent side ] -- Lightning. Iris... really gets away with him.
[ As though that explains everything. She glances at the camera. Her hair is utterly windswept, some of the feathers in it dancing as she walks the streets, her steps brisk, purposeful. Her nose? Red. She's been out for a while now, the black feathers of her collar tugged snug against her neck. Straight to the chase. ]
If you're from Earth, you may recognize him as American. Mm, he's about [ please hold, she's crunching this in her head ] one hundred and seventy-seven centimeters. [ She's certain. ] He's --
[ Here, that's what her hand says as she grinds to a halt and tugs the camera back so her audience can see. She makes an even cut through the air above and beside her, like she knows exactly where, how he fits with her. Like that helps anyone figure out anything other than the fact that she's short if they're attentive to her height against background details. ]
-- this tall, but he's not bulky or too slight. [ And she's stepping again, talking as she turns an ear in listening and scans the area with keen eyes. Holding little things back. ]
You might not be able to tell because he dresses like a hobo. I'm not exaggerating. There's holes and stains in his clothes and he doesn't care about fashion at all. Tee shirts, capris, boots -- you can find him in layers sometimes and his shoes won't be clean. If they are, it's not him.
He has... so much black hair and it's always so messy. [ But it doesn't sound like she minds? ] It's always in front of his eyes, so you can't see them most of the time. [ A glance. Look. ] I cannot emphasize how messy it is. It looks like he hasn't brushed it in a week, maybe ever. [ She's gesturing with her free hand, outlining a shape at her head now. ] Iris gives him these... bat ears. They're huge, about as big as his head put together, and they stick out a bit, like this. They're really furry! [ Who's excited? Fond?? Sobering a little. ] He's usually got this big smile or a grin on his face that'll show off a mouth full of pointy teeth now. His voice is a lot like his expression. It's big, real cheerful with a thick accent, Texan if that means anything to you. That twang is distinct from anything around here. [ She's fond. Oh! ] And he's got stubble. His face is unshaven, but there's no substantial mustache or beard. [ Yet. ]
Has anyone seen him? [ She gives the camera her full attention now, exhales a small cloud of white. Please, if you've seen her idiot hobo... ]

i hate that it's come to this but i need some advice on something
and due to the nature of the question i'd prefer to get a few perspectives rather than just one or two people
maybe someone else here has gone through the same thing
say that you and another person have known each other for a long, long time
but you were apart for awhile
and now you're both pretty different
how do you see someone as the person they are now?
how do you make them see you as the person you are now?
[ ooc; while this is anon. if your character has any reason to suspect who this is you're free to call him out ]

[ The video comes on and it appears to be neatly propped up on a desk. He's spinning a pen between his fingers. It's clear he's sitting at a desk, given by how much you can see of him. He's never posted to the network before. ]
A couple of you may know this, but I am a manga-ka at home, and obtained a physical copy my series about a month ago. Not long ago, I did get a publisher and I'm able to get additional prints of it so that I do not have to lend out my only copy.
[ But that is only partially the point of this post. ]
I'm in the process of developing a new series. There's only so much to work with within my own experiences. I've drawn many pieces of scenery here, filled up sketchbooks with pictures of Prismals and Moonblessed alike.
[ He sets his pen down on his desk, and stops playing with it. ]
So that's where I come to you. I'd like to hear stories about your life prior to here. Whether that is an interesting story or fact about you or the world you come from.
[ Oh, yeah. ]
And, one more thing. I guess, since I'm feeling generous. If anyone would like to see if I drew them - just let me know. I'd recommend posting a video. I draw what I like so there's no guarantees, but it's possible.
[ ooc; i'm happy to have had him draw p. much anyone who would be spending regular time at the park, especially if they sit still for a few minutes when there since that's where he draws most his inspiration from! ;) ]

[ The feed opens to one (1) Setsura in her usual plus the addition of some black apron with a not quite visibly but likely innocuous saying standing over a sauce pan atop a stove in what appears to be an immaculate kitchen from what can be seen given it's a side shot as opposed to profile. Music can be heard playing softly in the background. ]
Good afternoon, Lunatia. My name is Setsura Yamaguchi. [ She offers the slightest bow of her head in turning to look at the camera for a moment. Her voice is calm, lower than high, and weighted in a way designed to draw and hold attention despite the casual tint. ] Just a quick couple of things from me and you can get back to your day.
Firstly, if you recognize this symbol -- [ she seamlessly lifts a simple piece of notebook paper from the counter beside her and holds it up briefly, revealing what appears to be a simple upside down hand that, should you squint, almost appears to be presented as if in offering or reaching ] -- contact me. If you don't, don't worry about it for now.
[ Placing the paper flat on the counter again, she plucks a speared apple up with two fingers and twirls it in tilting the sauce pan slightly to one side and dipping it in with a little flourish. ]
I'm also in the market for additional sparring partners and a few hassle-free locations to go to work there. I've heard the Solar Flexus Gym is designed to withstand above peak human strength. Is there any truth to that? [ A beat, a glance. ] If you're the sort to pull your punches, don't apply.
[ She withdraws the apple with not quite a shake and begins a smooth turn, causing the excess syrup to cling with each rotation rather than drop dramatically. She gradually slows it, violet eyes keen in minding. ]
I don't know how many of you have the senses for it, but the number of spirits around the city has been gradually increasing since the beginning of the month. It lends some credibility to Geistnacht from what I've learned of the holiday. One of those spirits I met is [ is, not was ] really into seasonal confections, so I decided to try a couple of her recipes. If only the spirits in the Tower of Whispers had been so chatty.
[ Why does she say that? The most obviously pressing reason is provided by the cameraman, who moves briefly around her to put platter after side-by-side platter of freshly made candied and caramel apples on display. ]
I didn't realize the recipes were for a large batch or just what "large" entailed in this case. ( [Fake courtesy cut just in case for length!] )

Hey, everybody! Wow, this forum thing is really neat. I wish we'd had something like this back home, it would've made keeping in touch with people a lot easier. It's pretty fun to look through and see all the questions people are asking, and read what everyone has to say! It seems like that's what this is for, right? Asking questions?
Actually, I was hoping I could ask a couple, too. One of them is, for people who have jobs, are your jobs enough to keep you sustained just from the Demichroma you earn, or do you have to accumulate Chroma yourself on the side, too? I don't just mean for splurging at the mall or something — I mean more of, with the moon cycles and all. It feels pretty weird to have to just ask people outright if they'll hold your hand to get some extra Chroma, but I guess around here people don't think that's as bold a thing to do as they would back home.
Anyway, I was a little worried about it, so I thought getting a job would be a good thing to do, but boy! The customers sure are something when there's a moon in the sky!
The other question I had was, I sort of want to go back to school, so I've been thinking of enrolling at the Academy. I'm just wondering if it's hard to balance classes and a job? It's sort of strange to get used to having to sleep again! But I really want to see if there are some opportunities to play music, or maybe do some acting, or dance. I used to know some girls who did ballet and I was always really jealous of how easy they made it look! I wonder if it's too late to learn...
Well, anyway! Those are my questions, and I won't be on break for much longer, so I'll check back when I have the chance. Thanks, everybody!
