video, un: momo-chan~♥
Name: Momo
Date: September 2nd
Format: Video
[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.]

[Mostly just Yuki. But it's still technically a talent.] I'm just about finished getting a pool built for Yuki too, so that'll make things easier. If he doesn't just kidnap me to there instead of the bed, who knows what goes through the mind of such a dashing sea monster...
[He's gone full faux damsel dramatics by the end of that. It's almost as exaggerated and corny as that damsel role Allura played to help him practice, except Momo's just doing it on purpose.]
no subject
Well, it would be a challenge for you to sleep in a pool, not being a merrow and all.
[Ignore the fluster in her voice, Momo.]
no subject
[Someone hasn't found out about the simple solution of just making out with his merrow Bonded. That said, Allura only escapes Momo picking on her fluster momentarily.]
You sound a little embarrassed, though? Have you been reading some exciting books about dashing sea monsters or something...?
[There's certainly enough bodice rippers of that nature around to make it a valid tease. Also, he says exciting in a pretty obviously suggestive tone
because he likes using a form of it that doubles as "arousing" and autotranslate is hard.]no subject
[Said as she’s distinctly not making eye contact with him on the video call. Huffing a little, she shakes her head.]
But didn’t you know… a merrow’s bonded can breathe water if they, ah…. [Hm. She lowers her voice to a stage-whisper.] If they kiss.
no subject
Wait, really? Why does nobody write this stuff in books... [Momo sounds a bit pouty that he didn't discover this earlier, but brightens up a moment later.] But that's easy, then, Yuki and I would've probably kissed in the pool anyway!
[JUST CASUALLY.] How did you find out, though? Did you kiss Lance or something?
[He doesn't know they're not bonded, so it's his first teasing guess route.]
no subject
We did not kiss. [Please, she's not sure if Lance would survive that. She crosses her arms.] And we are not bonded. It is just something that he told me about.
no subject
I'm glad to hear that's a thing, anyway. I was worried my big chance to be able to spend time with my Yuki outside for once would be ruined by me not being able to breathe underwater.
[Yuki is such a homebody that Momo is desperate enough to spend time with him underwater as long as they're outside.]
no subject
[Here she trails off, thinking too hard about bonding, and just how Lance came upon the information himself. She taps her fingers to her chin, brow pinched in concern while Momo speaks, then, eyes widening.]
Do you think Lance has kissed… Kolivan?!
[The controversy!]
no subject
no subject
But wouldn't you want to breathe underwater, Kolivan? It could be a tactical advantage.
no subject
[Sassy Galra is sassy.]
no subject
no subject
[And on that ominous note... He'll end the connection! Dun dun duuuuuun!]
no subject
[ SORRY MOMO. We're just. MAKING THAT KNOWN. ]
no subject
[And Momo is entirely not sorry about teasing him for the "lady doth protest too much" type delivery.]
no subject
[ Stop this, you menace!!! ]
no subject
[Too late, Momo's chaotic bisexual energy has been activated.]
no subject
[ #justmerrowthreats ]
no subject
[Come at him, Lance.]
no subject
no subject
[Ignoring the fact that he definitely jumped in on this after the remark was made, but Momo's never let that sort of thing stop him ever.]
After all, he had to find out somehow.
[Clearly the only recourse from tease hell is Lance explaining how he did find out.]
no subject
[Who knew that her housemates were keeping such good tabs on her phone conversations. Maybe her voice carries in the house.]
Perhaps it was just hearsay.
no subject
Even though there's a few merrow in our group, it's less than I would've thought? Merpeople are a pretty common legend in my world, so I was kinda surprised how few Mirrorbound turned into them. But I hadn't heard that yet from the others I spoke to...maybe I didn't pry into their love lives hard enough...
[Obviously the message to take away from this.]
no subject
[But go ahead and have your secrets, Momo.]
There is a planet that I know of that is wholly inhabited by what this world would call Merrow. I know they have methods for letting visitors breath under their oceans but I do not now whether it is kissing-based. I will have to ask Lance, since he visited. Maybe that is where he learned.
no subject
[He mostly gets group roles where someone wants both him and Yuki or a big pack of idols. The genres vary a lot, but even the whimsical stuff usually isn't particularly deep since he's not a dedicated actor like Yuki is.]
Though that totally wouldn't explain how he knew it was a thing Bonded can do, now that I think about it.
