[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, excitedly trying to... set her network device up somewhere where it can actually get all of a rather large frame into the shot. Not that she waits to start talking.]

Greetings, everyone! I didn't realize it's been months since I last used this for "posting"... There's probably so many new people, so, um, very quickly- If you don't know me, my name is Konoha! I'm a jinba... Or a "centaur" if you want! And oh, that's my husband, Gonta... and our friend, Mikuni! Say hello, you two!

[Catching sight of the other jinba behind her pausing in their field work, she moves the camera to show a large palomino fellow (Gonta) who gives a gruff nod and semi-wave, and an elegant ebony-coated gentleman? (Mikuni) who dips into a more proper bow with a little smile.]

We run the Tsurugi Farmstead in the Greatmoon Groves! There was a lot of damage when it flooded before, but thanks to everyone's efforts we're back up and running properly... and we've had our first fall harvest!

So... as a bit of a thank you, and also maybe to celebrate not dealing with those awful nightmares anymore, I thought we could have a hotpot party here by the river? In my village we usually make imoni in the autumn, it's so delicious! It's full of beef and taro root and leeks and konnyaku... Mmm!

[She finally gets the device set up properly and trots back into frame properly, obviously excited by the invitation she's making.]

Cordis is almost over, right? So now seems like a good time before Iris shows up... But if you have a Cordis appetite, don't worry! We'll supply all the imoni... or, the ingredients, anyway, it's more fun if you cook it outside with everyone. We also have fresh sweet potatoes, pumpkin, new rice... oh, and persimmons!

But if you want to share anything, feel free to bring your own dish, too! Let's say... tomorrow? I'll send directions for anyone who hasn't visited before, alright?

I hope we see you there! Er, here, I mean! If you have any questions, just let me know!

[And with a last smile, she gives a big, respectful bow from the "waist" before moving to grab her device, a muffled "Gonta, Mikuni, wait up- !" before the feed cuts, and a moment later a pin on the Lunatian map app becomes available.]

[ooc: there won't be separate log posted for this, but I'll gladly action tag within this post with anyone interested!]

[It's early morning, and the video shows a middle-aged Texan standing sleepily in his bathroom as he runs his hand over his bushy beard in front of the mirror. He strokes it one more time and looks at himself, vague circles under his eyes and all, then looks to the camera.]

Should I shave this thing? What do y'all think?

[He turns towards the camera proper now, gesturing to his beard.]

I've had the beard 'bout two years now. Between home and Lunatia... at LEAST longer than here. Most of you newer, younger folks probably wouldn't remember, though, much less seen my mug 'round here.

[He flashes a lazy grin. He also picks up a well-kept straight razor from off-camera, just to mimic the motion of shaving against his cheek. Then, after huffing a wheezy laugh at himself, he puts it down and reaches to turn off the video.]

Need some goddamn coffee first--

fuckinghysterical

[Because the Sanguis moon is out, LB's goat face markings of the black circles around her eyes and on her lips are present along with the ears - she's relieved that the horns didn't make an appearance this time, at least! As she didn't post on the network often, she glances curiously into the screen to make certain the recording function was on, sighing before addressing the network.]

Oh, uh, hi! Eeheehee! I don't go on the network very often, so, uh, I'm "LB" for those that don't know me.

[Gosh, she probably looks like a dork right now. While she was a lot more extroverted in person, it felt weird being on video when she was much more used to texting.]

Anyway, um, my birthday is coming up soon! Or the closest equivalent to it here, I suppose? [At least the calendar system here was conveniently close to the one on Earth!] And this is probably really one of the stupidest questions ever, but... what do you even do for birthdays when you're an adult? Ahaha?

I mean, I had some when I was younger and I know a lot of adults just ignore their birthday, but... [She frowns a little before realizing it and covering it up with a bit of a forced smile.] the last time I got to celebrate a birthday was a decade ago. You know, when I was twelve years old. And maybe it's a little selfish, but I really kind of want to do something now that I actually can, you know?

[That was probably more revealing about herself than she really wanted to let on. But at least maybe people won't think she's completely stupid? In any case, she shrugs in a sort of self-conscious fashion before continuing.]

So, uh, if anyone has any ideas, let me know! But thanks for listening, really! And if anyone wants to do something, I don't mind hanging out with strangers even, if you have nothing else to do on the 13th! So I'll see you then, maybe!

[Her smile broadens at the camera, giving a little wave before shutting off the feed.]

ATTN: Copycat Charm is capable of cloning living beings.
I have tested and succeeded. Clones are fully capable of moonlacing and disappear after one hour.
I do not have mystical abilities to test what they are fully capable of.
I have only attempted this once, so further testing may be needed.

[Somehow it all comes down to ole Sougo Okita being a bastard and the offer today is courtesy of Caesar hearing one too many times that his food is shit. Screw you, Sougo. His food's fine and he's going to get validation in the most roundabout way possible. Not that he needs it, but damn.]

We're offering free snacks if you visit the Roman Holiday today. It's a bath house, if you're unaware of it.

[There's a pause while he places a cigarette between his lips and raises the camera to show this fine establishment from the outside. Incredible. ]

That's all. Ciao.

[CHARMING.]

Hi, everyone. My name's Rebecca.

[ The video opens on a small, homey apartment, filled with plants and books. Rebecca sits at a small piano, a mug of coffee steaming by her side. She looks...tired, really. It's been a difficult few weeks.

But that's no reason not to keep trying. ]

I was just wondering...what's the state of medicine like in your world? I had thought we were on the cutting-edge back home, but with everything I've seen here, you realise just how far we have to go. Considering everything that happens to us so regularly here, it can be really easy to lose track of your health.

I'm a field medic and a chemist, so I'd never call myself a doctor, but I still wanted to extend an offer to everybody: if you need someone to patch you up or do a quick check-up, call me. If you need medicine - over-the-counter stuff, obviously, not anything serious - then I'll run it over or get someone to deliver it to you. Just... [ She gives a weak smile. ] I want to help a little more, and I don't think being okay with a handgun really holds up against everything others can do, you know?

...anyway, I'm rambling. [ She looks down, playing an idle few bars of a melody. ] I've been staying in a lot. Watching old Disney movies, mostly, and I ended up working on this...

[ She adjusts the sheet music and sets her fingers in position. What follows is a nice little rendition with very few errors. Being able to just concentrate on something helps, a lot. Once it's done, she flashes a quick, embarrassed smile at the camera, then leans over and shuts it off. ]

spah

[Engineer's metal fingers pull away from the screen where he's propped up his device. He's currently sitting on a boat not far from Crystal Beach's shore. Waves lap against the boat, a splash can be heard here and there, and that light caw of seagulls?? Perfect. Peaceful.

Until this Texan motherfucker, dressed like Tom Selleck with the shorts and chest hair to match, brings a fucking antique coach gun into view and starts loading it in his lap.]

I been here about a year now, since the beginning 'a things, and I ain't got good memories of the Vulpus Astra Celebration comin' up. [He glances up from the gun.] So, uh. If anyone plans on goin' to Amehagara, keep with somebody. Hell, I'll chaperone ya if y'need somebody.

[There's a splash off camera, like something jumping out of the water. Engie quickly lifts the gun up over the water and shoots. A pause passes, and from the distance you can hear somebody shout "HOLY SHIT MAN JUST USE A FISHING POLE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE".]

Careful with the super bass, by the way. They like to jump.

[... and, after a pause, Engie scratches at his beard.]

Also, uh... I been growin' bluebonnets in that new community garden, by the way. Been real nice, bein' able to get back to my farmboy roots. [He smiles slightly.] Wound up growin' too much, though. So if anybody's interested in some hand-tied flowers, y'all lemme know.

[Another splash. Engie shoots again, lightning-fast.

"MAN COME ON"]

ingeniator

The name's Cid Garlond and I'm not used to doing the announcing, speechy, public relations kind of thing but I'm gonna try anyway.

Back in my home world I ran an engineering collective called Garlond Ironworks. Ragtag bunch of fellows who were bright and talented but escaping persecution from the Garlemald Empire. Now I understand these names mean nothing to you but our main goal is probably something most people get: freedom through technology. The same kind of tools that the Empire was using to suppress us, we'd turn it around to fight back against 'em.

Not like there's any that sort of thing happening here, but I'm a sucker for familiar things and I've gotten me a fancy permit saying I can set up shop here. Garlond Ironworks is officially recruiting folks to help get it off the ground. Now the Lunar Scientiae are doing all sorts of useful things, but I figured we can really go wild and do things with less practical applications.

Also I'm not just looking for engineers! I uh, tend to forget that research projects require money so I'll need someone who'll make sure I won't spend it all at once. And someone to make sure we don't overwork ourselves and reminds us to eat, even if it means dragging us by the legs to get some food.

If you're interested, drop me a line. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

[the video shows a white rabbit wearing a sunhat with holes that her long ears slip easily into. she's got a bit of dirt smudged on her face, and in the background is a wooden exterior of a shed. there are some saplings behind her too.]

You know, if I was born a large carnivore instead of a small herbivore, I think I'd have started up some kind of brothel here...probably would have made good money in a place like this.

[that. sure is a way to get attention!]

Anyway, I'm only a small carnivore here some of the time, and there already seem to be plenty of those kinds of places. Ever since I arrived here and when the weather started getting nicer, I noticed that we were missing something...

[Haru swaps the camera to face forward, and pans a bit, showing off a relatively sparse, fenced-in lot with a good amount of raised plots of soil and flower beds already started. after a moment of showing off, she switches it back to herself.]

So! I've started up a community garden for...mostly myself honestly, but it's open for anyone else to sign up and use. I was setting up all day yesterday, and it's kind of been slow going. In highschool I managed the gardening club all on my own so I can do this by myself, but if anyone wants to stop by and help I'll treat you to some lunch! I know it's Sanguis right now, so plenty of you are stronger than usual... [she brings her free hand up to rub under her nose, smudging more dirt on her face as she mumbles:] you could probably put that to good use.

Anyway, feel free to stop by, even if it's just to sign up for your own plot of land. If nobody signs up then it's not too bad...it just means more space for me to grow my babies.

[attached to this post is the address, where the community garden is located on a once-vacant lot in Lunatia, Level 2. a sign up sheet is posted on the front door of the shed, and anyone is free to stop by and do their own thing at the gardens for the month of May.]

[ The video turns on to Rey sitting in front of a display of brightly colored glass items, a forced smile on her face. She's never actually made a post of her own, before. Attention freaks her out. There's a five second span where the look on her face screams 'ABORT ABORT' but she pushes through it, exhaling. ]

Hello. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Rey. I've recently opened up a shop on Level 2 that deals in all different kinds of junk and recycled items, as well as electronic repair. I have a background in spaceship salvage, and my workers all have varying degrees of knowledge or interest in similar things.

If- If anyone is interested in stopping by, or have a request, feel free to check us out. The shop is called Spinebarrel and you can find it listed in your map application.

[ And awkward pause, before D-0 beeps at her in binary and nudges her foot with his nose. This is of course off-camera, but she looks down and smiles, before her eyes return to the video feed. ]

Thanks.

[ and it's off before she gets weird. ]

[what's up everybody, your texan boy is here

the audio starts with a telltale flick of a lighter, followed not long after by an exhale from the first drag of a cigarette]

You know what's a damn shame?

I been here a year and I still ain't found anywhere that makes decent pecan pie.

I know I can always make my own. Reckon I can't complain too much about not findin' hometown cookin' on an alien planet, but... mhn. Still miss that diner down on 71 towards Austin. Mateo made pie so good you'd climb a dang power pole for seconds.

General poll, 'cause I got nothin' better to do. You miss any kinda food from home? Diner cookin', mama's cookin', anything.

( ordinarily, ginoza would never be caught with his image willingly on the network, but it's a special occasion, so. it's a selfie-angled recording, gino standing a number of inches taller than the woman wrapped around his middle — one angela ziegler — the two of them looking about as happy as can be. the image of a glamorous house is apparent in the shot, taking up a healthy portion of the screen. two dogs can be seen chasing each other around in the background every so often.

gino ducks his head, a little shyly, before huffing out a laugh. )

Well. Uh.

( it's a little bewildered, like he can't really believe he's making this post at all, but here they are. angie gives him a small tug of encouragement and he continues on. )

We bought that.

( a hand lifts off on angie's shoulder to point to the house. )

And we're having a housewarming party this triple moon to celebrate it. Everyone's invited. I'll attach the information in a text below, but — we'd be happy if you came and celebrated with us. ( he looks down to angie, questioning if he forgot anything — ) Oh. There's going to be plenty of food and drink, and it might be a good chance to meet new people. We hope to see you there.

( he ends the recording with a swift, somewhat blushy kiss to angie's cheek. as promised, there's a text attachment to the post that lists where and when the party is taking place. come on down and get fucky i mean friendly with some fun folk. )

I have a few queries for anyone who wants to read, since I've been a little absent lately and had a while to let these build up.

Firstly! For those of us from some facsimile of Earth, are you excited for whatever Lunatian equivalent there is for Valentine's Day? How do you plan on celebrating, if so? I'm not sure of what grandiose gesture I'm going to perform, but if anyone can play musical instruments, I'd like to enlist your help! Also, if you want to get your love fortune read, I do own Khan el-Khalili in Caihong, and do tarot reading.

Secondly, a discussion got me incredibly curious about the cultural spread here in Lunatia amongst the Moonblessed! Especially food-wise; I'm Egyptian, myself, and I think it would be fantastic if we could organise some sort of potluck or...I don't know! Some sort of culinary cultural exchange! If anyone's interested, I'd love to hear ideas and the like! You can thank user Jaguar for this idea; they gave me the inspiration and deserve due credit :)

If you're not interested in any of the following, which is fair, here is a funny chicken picture!

thinkingpositive

I know this sounds like an odd question but I can't think of any better way to come up with an answer.

Say that you've just basically returned from the dead. Not a zombie or anything but well kind of but not really!

What should you give your friends as an apology gift? Flowers? Something more extravagant?

Greetings. My name is Edelgard von Hresvelg, Emperor of the Adrestian Empire.

Much like all I have the other “Moonblessed”, I have found myself falling victim repeatedly to the effects of the lunar cycle. Were the side effects merely physical, I would think nothing of the process, however...the mental imbalance that the moon stirs within me often invokes...irresponsible proclivities. While many seem to have accepted this status quo of life in this place, I will continue to reject it for the sake of having full control over myself and my decision-making.

Currently, I’m seeking any scholars on the subject that can offer insight into possible/potential counter measures to the ostensible curse of the moonblessed. Much the way that demichroma is a synthetic that can ease the need for chroma proper, I have to wonder if there is something artificial or otherwise that can assuage the monthly effects of the lunar cycle.

Anyone with pertinent information or willing to discuss this topic are welcome to join me for tea.

Thank you for your time.
~
Edelgard von Hresvelg,
Emperor of Adrestia

[ the video opens with a man sitting at a desk. he paints quite an odd picture - looks to be in his mid-thirties, with long dark hair, wearing a black vest with a white shirt under it, rolled up to his elbows. odd tattoos cover his arms and move up the front of his neck as well.

he clears his throat, and a deep voice speaks. ]

Good evening. For those of you who don't know me, my name is V.

I'm looking for people interested in a wine and arts night. Specifically, right now I'm seeking those willing to work as instructors for painting, drawing, and other such mediums, for a modest group of people. I can provide the supplies for such hosting, as well as the space. I'm even prepared to provide monetary pay if that's a sticking point for performing the instructing.

I'm also seeking people willing to pose as models, once I've secured the instructors. And of course, knowing what kind of interest people would have in attending such a thing.

[ he reaches a hand up to brush his hair back. it's starting to get long; someone should tell him about hair bands. ]

I'm looking to host this at least once a month. We seem to lack an entry level experience for the art forms here, and I'd like to change that. And I don't think most people would turn up a chance for some good wine.

[ he smirks a bit. ]

You can respond to this post or contact me privately. [ he provides his contact information. ]

[What's up, Lunatia. It's your Texan scientist boy back at it again. He's in his engineering workshop, drinking a Lunatian beer. He's also got a new prosthetic hand. In fact - there's several robotic hands of all kinds of shapes and sizes hanging off the wall behind him. Neat.]

Y'think... hypothetically, birthdays still count 'round here? In a time-space alternate dimension sorta way.

Like if I had a birthday here - again, hypothetically - would that still count as gettin' a year older back home, too?

[He takes another pull from his beer... then shrugs.]

Reckon I'd have to run the numbers.

[~~ftr this is post is mostly an excuse to not-so-subtly hint that my made-up birthday for Engie is this month~~]

I'm perfectly aware that this isn't as interesting as the usual things that pop up here, but I figure there's an audience for what I offer.

In case we're not familiar, I'm Jill. I enjoy modding firearms and creating unique ammunition and explosives in my free time. I don't have an official business and do it on the side. Cute guy named Engineer does it as his full-time career, so check in on him first.

Additionally, I train people in martial arts and will help hone your skills to what works best for your height/weight and body type. I'm an expert in multiple styles (TKD, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, and Savate to name a few). Cost is sliding scale since it's something I'm passionate about. It'll take time, but I'm happy to help bring out your potential.

Thanks for your time, everyone. And happy holidays. :)

tekhartha

Does anyone here practise yoga? There are a number of couple's positions with which I would like to experiment, but I do not think the locals here are quite ready to handle a mechanical body such as mine.

I am also very happy to initiate the inexperienced among you who would like to join me regardless! I promise to be a gentle teacher, and that you will find the experience most satisfying, both physically and spiritually.

I look forward to meeting you all. ( _:::_ )b

crabbmarche

I was hoping this was a temporary thing but I have to ask.

Has anyone else experienced any particularly... worrisome new changes this month?

I am Cordis aligned and usually take the features of a fox, but this month has been a little different. As in, ’many more tails than I should’ different. I’d like to know I’m not the only one.
