Three things.

1.) Are there care requirements for scales? I am apparently turning into a naga and frankly, I still don't think this combination of cold-blooded and warm-blooded organism should exist, so I am finding myself having trouble looking out for what my new needs might be.

2.) Has anyone written userscripts for the mirrors before? I am aware they run on magic, but that is no excuse for not updating their performance to professional standards.

3.) In this time of increased festivities, consider shopping at Karen's Patisserie to obtain a cake for your bonding ceremony / wedding / combined wedding-and-bonding ceremony. There is a discount on cakes matching the colorscheme of your dress, if you provide an image to an employee. I am an employee for the duration of this month, so you can contact either me or the store directly.

[ If you drop by Karen's Pattisserie this month, either as a worker or a customer, you can run into Tieria, who is... consistently looking stressed, really. He's wearing an apron and usually he has dough on him, which is incredible, because he does seem to be very orderly and insistently follow any recipes to the letter... and yet...

As a customer service worker, he is polite but certainly not friendly, so if you want to complain to Karen about that...? Or about the fact that his cookies really aren't all that tasty...? Do it. Nothing is stopping you. Or maybe just give him some advice. ]

[This combination of man and snake definitely shouldn't exist, Jin Guangyao would frankly be in agreement on that much, even if unstated. Even being able to provide advice on certain things is... well, he's really not sure how he feels about it.]

On the first point at least, frequent bathing makes the shedding process easier.

Unfortunately, I feel as though that is a constant feeling with the process, regardless of how prepared you are for it.

I believe such a magic would take considerable effort if it was even possible at all. Even temporary transformations back to one's former appearance would be appreciated, but it does seem this isn't a common request.

Then again, there seem to be fewer naga among the Mirrorbound than other sorts.


[Others can pad around with fur and tails, but they just don't get how bad it is when your entire lower half gets changed that dramatically, in Jin Guangyao's opinion.]

It's been two months since I lost my legs.

[Well. Not lost. He knows exactly where they are. The husks of them are in the back of his closet.]

Though I found the changes progressed rather quickly over the four months I've been here. Perhaps you'll be fortunate enough to be eased into them more slowly, somehow. I wish I could give more in the way of useful advice, but I still find it to be a difficult situation at times.

hey tieria, it's sylvia!
whoa!!! you're working at the patisserie? would not have guessed you were that good at baking! (bring some pastries home if you can, okay? :D)

what are you looking to get out of upgrading the mirrors? :)

[personal profile] stardustish 2020-08-09 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
is she giving you a hard time about it at all? the last time i tried to do a baking quest the owner was pretty unhappy with me lol. but if she's patient then maybe i'll join you!

let's see... cheesecake, coffee cake, regular cake... lol this house just likes cake i guess! didn't hear from some of the others but i'll let you know when i do. i'll pay you back for it, nbd. :)

what kind of data are you looking to store in the matrix? something like that could be pretty useful. i haven't seen anyone try to do something like that yet but these sound like good improvements!
it might be something worth talking to the coven about!

so...yeah, no, count me out...haha. i get why she's stressed but not dealing with any of that again, not after what happened last time. good luck with that regardless!

and i see what you're saying, maybe? sounds like you're looking to create some kind of organized timeline. i think having an easy place to store data in general's a good idea, like the matrix. as long as it's easy for other people to use? pretty sure i know some people here who come from a time before computers existed lol so you're gonna blow their minds when this happens!!!

idk what i can do to help but just lmk if you need anything! here to help my housemates whenever i can!

Are you still actually warm blooded?
blankpieces: (wait)

[personal profile] blankpieces 2020-08-09 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That's interesting to hear. For me, I became cold-blooded before I even gained my scales.

Only the few minutes that involved the change itself.

At least you have time to prepare. You'll want to make sure to regulate your body temperature through alternative means.

It's an option.

Potions can offer a temporary solution. There are enchanted tattoos, but I decided against those when it became clear I would need to have them redone after every shedding. Your best bet is an enchanted item you can wear. You'll just need to make sure to have a witch recharge it every so often.


[He may have, at some point, used all three of these.]

[There's irony in Near's case as well - mostly in that he spent most of his time on the floor anyway.]

My legs were the last thing to change. Hopefully you'll be fortunate in your own changes.

[It's inevitable, really. Better to get it over with sooner so there's no need to dread it anymore.]

Unfortunately we're not given the choice.
