Perhaps I should have, but I could not help myself.

[yakiniku]

Spoken like a true politician. That must have been your line of work before.

Cyrus (her thread)

[bloodisthicker]

Well, I didn't just consider looks in my assessment if I've actually met someone before. Being capable and intelligent counts for something too in my book.

[bloodisthicker]

I think I need to start wearing sunglasses, but yes. It's... interesting.

And it is a nice festival, isn't it? It's probably a yearly tradition, but it definitely feels like a nice welcome, too.

[bloodisthicker]

You say that, but I feel like you'd stand out a lot more back home than you do here. Prismals seem diverse enough that practically anyone could fit in... save for maybe boring humans.

[bloodisthicker]

I haven't been a nerd in decades.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, it should still be the last resort, I think. Like, in that situation, you can just avoid him or go to the police, and if all that fails and he actually attacks... well, if that's how things played out, then that's fine.

[zohvin]

Hearing that is quite a relief. Still, I don't think you have all that much to worry about - it seems like most of the Moonblessed are humans of some variety or other.

[kiritin]

[ Ironically, Arjuna can think of a few people who would be way too honest about this. ]

I suppose so. Instead of keeping it to themselves, it'd be considered rude to provide a low ranking, especially at someone they may not be familiar with.
However, some people appreciate the honesty.
Would you not prefer an honest answer, as opposed to compliments that might as well be out of obligation?

[bloodisthicker]

Because if you're going out when you're not working, people still judge you based on how you dress. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is.

[purrrrfection]

I do, don't I?

[purrrrfection]

[ Ziva NO ]

Would my Echo count?

[ God damn it, Ziva. THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL CONTEST. ]

[bloodisthicker]

It is a little concerning, yes, though I disagree that it isn't actually a part of me. It's part of who I am, just... intensified and with the filters torn off, I suppose.

[sometimespawnskillkings]

Really?

But you’re always so serious the rest of the time.

[bloodisthicker]

I think the problem is that we're not inherently logical beings, so you have to work pretty hard to make sure your decisions aren't clouded by emotions and biases. But I do think it's worth working towards, at least.

[takingchances]

And sometimes you need those emotions. It's a double-edged sword.

[bloodisthicker]

Ah, now you're just making it worse.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, yes. I think I'm quite good at it, too.

[yakiniku]

Is that what your plans are here?

[bloodisthicker]

Yes, that's fair. It doesn't actually seem like anyone has a problem with the Moonblessed, so it's not a disadvantage for us to stand out like we do.

[bloodisthicker]

I think that's fair, personally, but I think I'd have to really know someone before I'd want to be that honest with them. If they're the sort that would appreciate that honesty, then I'd give it to them straight, but you can't really know that until you have a good assessment of their character.

[zohvin]

Then let's hope that they remain happy to see us and our abundant Chroma production.

[bloodisthicker]

...wait, I was just joking, did you actually do that.

[bloodisthicker]

We have generally met in fairly serious circumstances, though. I know how to let loose responsibly every once in a while.
