If I may have a moment of your time...

[Meaning, the network at large, apparently. Despite the tone, one of forced politeness, there's a definite note of annoyance there.]

... I assume the unique glowing effect is part of these 'blood types' I was informed of. However, what was not mentioned was how one deals with the inability to stop said glowing. It's grown tiresome at night, especially.

[Translation: Apparently I'm Paleblood and being your own nightlight sucks.]

How precisely do others manage this? I would appreciate any sort of advice, as I would like to sleep some time in the near future.

A heavy blanket and a blackout eye mask.

[ It doesn't actually stop the glowing, but it's made it so he can finally get some rest next to Sakura when she starts glowing, and that.... is the most important thing here, right? Right. ]

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah, I see. Too much to hope there would be a convenient 'off' button for this phenomenon, I suppose.

[retsuden]

There might be, but I haven't heard of it. Admittedly, I'm a Darkblood, so it hasn't been my top priority.

[knowsvinewhip]

I thank you for your assistance regardless. It's certainly something to look into.

Darkblood isn't one I'm terribly familiar with yet.

Run around a bunch, you'll get tired enough to fall asleep.

You should have seen the suggestions I received.

[knowsvinewhip]

I... don't believe that's entirely helpful when light is the issue, rather than mere fatigue.

[knowsvinewhip]

Oh, dear. I almost hesitate to ask.

Hm, typically effects like these last a month at most, perhaps a handful of days or couple of weeks if we are lucky. We rarely are, I find.

Regardless I'm afraid there's little that can likely be done about the glowing itself. I agree it's incredibly annoying, almost as much as the nosebleeds.

[ananym]

Many of them expected us to walk around with blankets over ourselves.

[knowsvinewhip]

Surely... they were joking?

[ananym]

That would be ideal, but I doubt it.

[knowsvinewhip]

How long have you been here, if I may ask?

Ah, well. Has anything you've attempted been helpful?

[knowsvinewhip]

Goodness.

That would be a solution for others, more than those of us affected...

[ananym]

Yes. So I would not expect anything sensible to come your way.

[knowsvinewhip]

Wonderful...

I don't suppose you would have any helpful ideas?

I don't have the glowing problem but have you tried wearing sunglasses at night?
So you can- So you can-

[ananym]

A tea and incense shop was recommended to me. They can dampen the effects.

[retsuden]

It's a pain. Not just because of the effects each month, but it's not even really blood most of the time. It's... glitter. [ He sounds so put out by this. ] And stains everything it gets on.

[hachitaro]

If you're tired enough you can fall asleep no matter how bright it is!

[knowsvinewhip]

... Glitter.

[JFC. What the shit.]

My apologies, being doomed to not only glitter but staining glitter is a truly terrible fate.

[knowsvinewhip]

I can assure you that is not always the case...

[knowsvinewhip]

Oh?

That sounds lovely, actually. Would you mind sharing the location?

[knowsvinewhip]

I... am afraid that isn't a viable solution for sleep.

[ananym]

I will send it your way.
