If it functioned normally. It doesn't. Nature...I think nature is more of a living and understanding force here, than in other places.

I beat up the moon, recently. This...this is simply that sort of place.

[cyan_maid]

...Okay, I have heard of the infamous moon trip, but you're going to have to explain "beating up the moon" if you don't mind.

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh, yes. It's a bit of a long story...

Before I came to this place, I wasn't quite human. Not that different, but I was possessed of certain abilities beyond that of normal humanity. On certain weekends, such as the weekend of the moon, powers and gifts such as those are restored.

A friend of mine and I were...emotionally charged, let us say. I'd recently lost my life's companion. We took advantage of our returned strengths to purge some much needed emotion. By punching and kicking and clawing the moon's surface for an afternoon.

It was quite cathartic.

[cyan_maid]

...Oh. Is that all? I had thought something preposterous like the entire moon coming to life might've happened.

[It's still weird, but you had her assuming the worst.]

So, there are times where, if we had powers, we can get them back again? How bizarre...

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh god no, nothing like that! No, we simply took out our aggressions on the moon.

Mmhmm. If you weren't human, you will return to that state. It happens twice a year, it lasts a handful of days.

[cyan_maid]

Well, if you need to take out aggression some way, it might as well be on the moon.

[Jane pauses for a moment, thinking about this carefully.] I...was human, before I came here, but...also sort of not completely anymore, I guess you could say. I could fly. And, erm, to be honest, I had a kind of unimpressive power compared to my friends. But I suppose getting to fly again won't be so bad.

[If that's all that comes back from her time in the game, she won't be too upset.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Well, you're in good company. There's plenty of us with a similar story. Human, once, but then not completely.

Flying sounds like it would be an enjoyable ability. Mine was mostly stabbing things very well.

[cyan_maid]

Oh my, I see.

[Stabbing things...holy crap.]

I suppose your life here is incredibly different from the life you had at home, if you could do that.

[a_sin_for_him]

It was my nails. They extended into lances that were harder than stone.

It's very different, but much preferable. This is a good place, a kind place.

[cyan_maid]

[Holy crap. What kind of things happened to make Lust happy with settling down to write radio shows?]

It...it really is, I agree. I like it very much here, and I haven't even seen all of Johto yet.
