[Once again it's Prompto, coming to you live from his watch! Only this time he's not in the kitchen surrounded by loud people, but in the stable! With a chocobo. Who is trying to groom him. Still better than the last video he sent out.]

So, the full moon's pretty early this month and last month I saw a lot of people asking for help with the whole "turnskin" thing. I can only help if you're, y'know, a dog, but I saw like three last month so...anyway, some quick pointers-slash-tips for suddenly finding yourself with a tail and a chocolate allergy.

[He misses chocolate.]

Which that's the first thing--it's not always the case, but like. Don't go nuts on the chocolate or the coffee or the onions or whatever until you know it won't make you sick? Maybe nothing'll change and you can eat everything you want! But don't risk it. Start small. Get meds from a pharmacist just in case.

[The chocobo "kwehs", like she's agreeing. Prompto reaches up to pet her beak.]

Also tails? They suck? But there's plenty of places that make pants for people with tails so love yourself, get pants with tail-slots or get used to skirts. Don't be me and be wearing regular pants when your tail comes in. It sucks, and then you can't sit down the entire day. What else...get used to shedding, your tail will out you so just accept never being able to hide your emotions ever, you'll get used to the smells and the sounds but maybe get a face mask and earplugs until then, there can be some weird changes you never think about until they happen trust me I've been there, congratulations on your silver allergy...oh! And packs!

Surprise! All of us turnskins are turning into pack people. Even the bears. Even if you don't like people normally, you're gonna be way happier with a person or two. You know how cats sometimes just have their human? Get a human. Or a vampire. Or a dragon. Or--you get it. This isn't just the bond stuff, this is "I feel like crap, why do I feel like crap, oh I spent an hour out shopping now I feel better" stuff. Get a pack. Love your pack. Just don't do the cat thing and bring live mice to your pack unless they like that sorta thing. Heck, there's enough of us canine turnskins that we could probably be pack, if people want that.

[And he's rambling! And he's starting to think this was a bad idea so he's gonna wrap this up now.]

So...yeah. Advice from a guy who's been here for nearly a year! Ta-da!

I think I will. If you have any dogs that need sitting, or walking, or cuddling... let me know!

[He's already dogsat one dog, but that was a very small, fairly well-behaved pooch. Not one for making a ruckus running around the streets. He'll have to do some searching... But first. He's skimming the other replies, and recognition is striking.]

Oh, hey! Aren't you the person... who went home, then came back??

You really went home?

[If he thought the skeleton was animated before, the way Papyrus lights up with enthusiasm and curiosity might put that to shame.]

How did you do that??? Do you remember?
spaghettimonster: (SHADES CONFUSION)

...You don't even remember how you went back?

[That's a disappointment, and one he can't quite hide, between drop in voice and end of tail wagging.]

Did months pass there, or was it really... like you'd never been gone?

[He's heard some things, fragmented rumors about it all, but now he has the chance to ask the source of them.]

Okay... I didn't think it would work like that. A blink-and-you-miss-it visit home...

[He'd hoped for stories of adventures, details on how the mirror magic worked, something. This is a let down. He hums, and follows up with the other bit he'd heard fragmented rumors of:]

And, you're not a monster anymore? Or it reset?
spaghettimonster: (I'M FINE!)

Wow! I wonder if you're still the same type... That seems disorienting. Keep me updated!
