[Oh no it's the full moon.]

Kasumi, are you alright?

Did you...did you get the moon talk?

Moon talk?

No, I don't thiiiiiiiiiink I did.

I feel fine, though. ... I think.

I just want to see you, Senpai.

[Oh boy. He's not sure if he should be happy scared or aroused scared or scared scared.]

Okay so here's the tldr: Birds and the Bees except you turn into birds and bees in this place when there's moons in the sky

I'm sorry I didn't tell you before but come over for some coffee I'll explain more.

[He's going to go with scaroused.]

I'm the birds and bees? That sounds weird.

Okay, I'll come over.

[It takes... a hell of a long time for her to arrive. At least, longer than it should. When the door to Ren's place opens, Kasumi walks inside, but then stumbles and about falls.]

Hi.... Senpai. [She's still smiling, at least, but she's got a bit of a permanent blush to her cheeks. There's butterfly wings spreading from her back, and a very bushy fox tail coming out the back. She seems to be having a little trouble keeping her balance, too.]

Trust me it's not...

[Aaand she's offline. Okay he'll just prepare some coffee.

And some curry...

And more curry wasn't she going to arrive soon?

Just before he launches a Search and Rescue mission, there she is, beauty and grace and in his face. Is she drunk? Well maybe drunk on the triple moon, he guesses. Ren's own tails behind him moved around as he tried to cover them over with the wings that seemed to come from his...lower back? The two ears above his head move around to the door's opening.]

Are you alright?

[Well it's a probably no question, but Ren has experiences it gets people to open up 'why they are not'.]

[Normally she would have more control over her balance, even with the sudden tail and wings - but whatever the triple moon is doing to her is completely screwing that up. She leans on another chair to keep her balance, getting a good look at Ren.]

Heeeey... you have wings too. And cute ears. [She giggles, almost slipping again when trying to stand up - and then, in a momentary bout of forethought, she plops herself down on said chair.]

I'm... fine. I think. [She honestly isn't sure, but sitting down is at least making her head stop spinning a bit.] So what's this about the moon making us the birds and bees?

[You're not convincing Ren that you are the gymnastics, Kasumi. He tries to keep it under control on his side but the ears bend a little sideways at the fact she says they are cute. It wouldn't be right to do anything so he just keeps himself behind the table's side like a true professional.]

R-right. [He'd done this with Ryuji, just not on a full moon.] So as you noticed, there's changes on our bodies during certain moons. Then everyone gets affected when all three moons are in the sky. Like we are right now. So from your fox tail, it means you're a Cordis like me. They told you about that, right?

[She is totally the gymnastics. She just has to believe....

She rests her elbows on the table, and her head in her hands. It helps her feel a bit less woozy.]

I heard about the moons... but not which one I was. I remember someone telling me I'd 'find out for myself', and I just kind of shrugged it off. [She's doing a surprisingly good job of fending off her earlier giddiness, at least. Maybe not having to worry about her balance is helping her stay more focused.]

I never thought this would happen... I just kept thinking to myself 'I need to see Senpai. I need to see him right now.' I... still think that. I feel like I have less control over my thoughts. That must be something else affecting me. I must look so silly right now. Is my face red?

[The last few sentences come out almost rapid-fire.]

Edited 2020-05-20 18:21 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I should have explained it more. [He's gonna prepare a cup of coffee for her because boy howdy. Actually;] Are you feeling hungry? Cordis get really hungry.

[He points tot he curry he's cooking behind him. Then the questions come and thankfully Ren is there to rise to the occasion.]

The moons are affecting you. I've had it happen to me too. You don't look silly it's normal. Yes, your face is red.

[Oh no...]

It's not your fault. I shouldn't have dismissed what I was told about the moons. This is a really strange place and situation...

Oh! Now that you mention it... [Her stomach rumbles.] I do feel very hungry... I could've sworn I'd eaten not that long ago. The moon's going to mess up my normal meal times...

[Oh well. Given how much it's affecting her, she knows there's not much that can be done about it - she'll just have to adapt and adjust.]

I thought so... my face feels red. It's just so strange, feeling like you're so out of touch with your own body. Wings are bad enough, but a tail too? They're cute, but I can't balance well like this.

[The hell with that, Ren's already poured out another large pot full of food and started to eat it up, putting the other one next to the both of them with a giant ladle and two large bowls.]

Welcome to the Cordis buffet. When it gets really bad, you just want non-stop food. [And...other things...] Give it some time to adapt and you'll be okay. I had wings below on my back like Arsene...did you see me...well other world me use Arsene?

Oh, so it's basically even worse than my usual food consumption. That's going to be... interesting. [Hopefully she can burn all that off just the same, then!]

[She starts pouring food into the bowl.] Yes, actually. You probably remember me saying that we've been in a Palace before, in my world, right? It wasn't for too long, but I did see you use Arsene there.

How much do you eat normally? There's a reason some places outright ban Cordis moon users when it shows up in the sky. It just gets converted into a lot of energy, at least.

[He does the same, outright using the ladle twice to full his bowl, then...grabs another ladle to eat it. Yeah, it is a mood.]

Right. Well, maybe you can use it a little more around here, since you can change into your uh...I guess I can't call it your Phantom Thief outfit right? Let's go with costume.

I'm a gymnast, so I eat a lot to maintain my energy for practices and meets. Thankfully, I can burn pretty much all of it off normally.

[She tries to eat a bit at a time, but realizes that's not quite going to cut it, and she starts eating with a ladle as well. She isn't fond of this feeling, but hunger for her is something to be defeated, so....]

Wait, we can use our Personas here? Is there a Metaverse here, then?

I see. Maybe you can teach me some moves.

[It's still so weird to be talking to someone who also has a Persona that he doesn't know. He likes to think he's a pretty good judge of character and Kasumi is not trying to trick him (unlike a certain someone).]

Yeah. Akechi still has access to it. This place isn't a metaverse, I think...it just seems to make powers work.
