[It's somewhere around mid-morning on full moon day when this post goes up, Momo doing his best to look somewhat professional-ish while obviously sitting himself half up in bed with his head resting on one curled hand. He looks extremely awake and restless like he's been wanting to get up for a while, but the suspiciously tentacle-looking charcoal grey thing barely in frame wrapped around his waist is probably a giveaway as to why he's having to make the post from this position.]

I've been thinking about this for a little while, but with everyone sharing information on here about stuff that's happened before some people arrived or what Monster changes to expect and so on, has anyone tried to get that kind of "relevant to everyone" information into one place? I was originally thinking about the collective dreams we kept having, since those seem to be important but it's kinda hard to get details on the ones that happened before you arrived unless you know who to ask. But I've also talked to certain Monsters who seem to have had real trouble researching their Monster type, and having a proper resource with changes or abilities that don't come up in books as often seems like it could be really useful for people going through that.

[As he talks, another tentacle creeps into frame and tries to poke at his face. Without even faltering in his speech, he pushes it right back out of frame with one red-nailed finger. And then flicks another one that barely even makes it past the edge of the frame before recoiling at the reprimand.]

So I'm wondering what people think about trying to put together more information in one collected place like that! I think it could really help some people out, but it'd take a lot of work to put together, so it'd be good to know whether there's interest in both having it and helping out with it. Especially with Monster details some people might not know until they meet someone who's gone through that change already, since that's probably a little easier to gather...like, if you're a Monster, what was the thing that surprised you most about your change? Or was there anything you couldn't find out about before it happened? That question goes for Witches living with Monsters if you got blindsided by something too!

[There's a sound of movement and a grumble that sounds something along the lines of "sleep", as a human arm with blue nails drapes itself over Momo's side. Momo turns his head with an all too sunny smile.]

Ah, darling, are you awake enough to let me out of bed now?

[Silence. Momo turns back to the Watch screen with a worryingly innocent grin that reveals his long canines.]

Well, I guess I'm answering from here...and you know, it's so much easier to have a conversation like this over video or audio call! Just make sure you speak up nice and loud, I think being stuck in bed this long has done something to my ears.

[He says that in a very deliberate, faux worried tone, winking as he mimes clearing his ear with a pinky. Sure, it's an actual serious inquiry, but might as well make a petty attempt at gaining freedom by making sleep impossible.]

Name: Prompto Argentum + Omi Fushimi

[First it’s just some still shots taken with the watch. Omi is in a few poses in a very, very flattering vest and shirt combo (and pants, this isn’t that kinda advertisement) with the caption:]

WANTED: A BOND

[And then, a video focused on Omi again, though it’s Prompto who speaks. (If you know him, this sounds a little forced-happy, though he’s genuinely enthusiastic. Omi doesn’t look too well either, for reasons that are about to be obvious.]

So. Someone whose name starts with an “Omi” and ends with “Fushimi” has apparently been here five months! Without a Witch bond! This amazing, talented, built-as-hell turnskin has no Witch! None! For five months! We need one around three.

Ah, hello… I'm Omi. This wasn't exactly my idea…

It wasn’t my first idea either, buuuuuuut we’re desperate and this way there’s no, y’know. Awkward speed dates or anything. It’s a personal ad! Because Aefenglom doesn’t have a dating website.

[Someone’s gonna take that idea and run with it, whoops.]

Anyway! Omi’s seriously a great guy. Hard-worker, he cooks…

Right… [He sits up a little straighter, looking to Prompto as if unsure just how far he should go with this. Maybe it's fine if he just talks about himself?] I work as a photographer here and I'm an actor as well. I'd say they're both my passions. In my spare time, I like to do small crafts, cook--especially sweets--and do physical activities like sports and training.

[In a stage whisper:] Seriously, though? His food is uh-mazing.[Back to normal] Also those wolf ears? Honestly, dude, I am amazed you are still bondless.

Well, to be honest I wasn't sure about Bonding in the first place. It seemed kind of strange to make someone else deal with all of this with me. I'm not exactly pleasant on the full moons. At least now I realize part of that is because I don't have a Bond, as Prompto has kindly informed me… several times.

Multiple times. In the same month, even. [And here Prompto turns the camera on himself and--yeah that is a man who isn’t sleeping much] Seriously, from a guy who’s been here over a year? Bond. It’s weird, but just. Get a friend! Do the thing! Witches can have familiars too, if that’s more your thing. [But back to Omi] Enough about that, back to Omi. Anything else you wanna say?

No, not really. Just...it doesn't have to be a permanent thing, if someone just wants to try it out. I'm probably a handful, or something...

You are not a handful. He is not a handful, ignore that last bit!

[Omi. Omi plz.]

If you say so. [Omi manages a little laugh, and it's quite the handsome laugh, by the way, if one is into that kinda thing. Honestly, he's a bit swoon-worthy even if his self image is a little off.] I'm sorry to ask anyone this way, but I'd rather help someone out, if I can. That's all. So.. Thanks for your consideration, at least. [He gives a polite half bow.]

And that’s a wrap!
