It's no inconvenience at all. Would you like to call me Luna? I can choose another name if you'd rather a different one.

please give me a moment to see how it feels to say

[ ... ]

hello my good friend luna

[ ...yes, that is a nice name. ]

it is a very good name thank you stop that said may i ask if the connection to the moon is intended i have no concerns about it but it seems a strange coincidence

Yes, that was precisely my intention.

You were named after the tarot card, "The Hierophant", weren't you? So I thought you'd like it if I named myself after one as well. Do you think it suits me?

i understand stop that was very thoughtful of you and i appreciate it it is nice to think that you are a little more like me when you have this name stop newline many of the traditional meanings of the card are negative and i would not wish to be unkind however one detail occurs to me it is not a meaning of the card itself but a property of earth's satellite stop specifically that it is invisible until it has the light of another body to reflect stop

You wouldn't be unkind, to point that out. Some of the negative connotations are part of the reason why I picked it, after all.

You're clever to catch onto that detail, though. Here's another to consider: where does the Moon fall in the traditional order of the Major Arcana?

the moon precedes the sun and is preceded by the star stop newline i understand stop the moon follows the star stop we are very similar my good friend luna stop

That's right. The progression of Tower-Star-Moon is one that's somewhat important to me.

Furthermore, when the Moon appears in a tarot spread, it often represents some sort of illusion or mystique that must be eliminated from the querent's path. A fog to be cut through, in a sense.

i am very glad that you did not select the tower as the negative connotations associated with that card would concern me stop newline which of those are you in this example questionmark are you the querent comma the fog comma or the knife stop or are you the card itself instructing the querent stop

The knife.

It's an apt analogy in a number of ways, I think. A tool or a weapon, an asset in one set of hands or a weapon in another. And without a purpose, it lies inert.

But maybe I'm just being overdramatic.

i thought perhaps that would be the case stop we are very much alike a stand is very much like a knife stop because of the similarity it does not seem dramatic to me in fact it sounds very beautiful my friend luna who is a knife made from starlight stop

Oh...

You've made me blush, Hierophant-kun. What a lovely compliment.

i am glad that you think so stop newline on the topic of knives please do not be overly alarmed if you find them moving around in your kitchen stop there is an overwhelming probability that it is me however i will not be insulted if you feel the need to double check as i understand that even the minimal chance of autonomous knives is concerning enough to be worth investigation stop

Hierophant-kun.

If you're going to be moving knives around in my kitchen, leave a note in clear view advising me of your presence. Missing knives will already make me anxious; moving ones are not an experience I'll find pleasant.

understood stop newline will it help if i take measures to make myself more visible for example by wearing an item of clothing or through the use of cosmetics questionmark

Yes, please. That would alleviate my concerns nicely.

Even if you're not around at the time, be certain to leave a note. I wouldn't want to mistakenly conclude that an unauthorized person had broken into my house.

[kirigiri you break into people's houses like three times a week, you hypocrite]

i understand stop i will be certain to make myself as visible as possible and to make it clear that i am the intruder stop thank you for your guidance i am not accustomed to entering people’s personal spaces with their permission and as such the etiquette of this is new to me

Why are you interested in visiting me, then? If you're not accustomed to it. Are you branching out and trying new experiences?

in part stop truthfully i am concerned about what i observed of your food when i last visited you stop

...

I suppose the WORD NOODLE incident didn't help matters, either.

i apologise if my concern is inappropriate and if so i will not voice it again stop i do not believe that you are incapable of maintaining your own body nor that comma as a knife comma you would knowingly or unknowingly dull yourself with improper care stop newline i believe that the creator of wordtouppercase noodletouppercase is a stranger to you and while they may believe passionately in creating characters of the latin alphabet from milled grain and placing them in cans with a sauce of tomato and sugar for the consumption of others it is unlikely that they are thinking of you stop if you are to consume this i would prefer to know that it is by choice stop i will not be insulted if you simply prefer other food over that crafted by me however it is important to me that you have at least been offered the opportunity to consume a meal made for you specifically by someone who loves you and thus is invested in your happiness and continued wellbeing stop

[...............]

Hierophant-kun, I'm sorry to ask, but can you please repeat that? The part about what's important to you.

You aren't being inappropriate. I just want to make sure I understand.

It's important to me to understand.

of course my friend luna stop as a message delivered in this format would be easy to reread i will interpret this as a request to clarify my previous statement newline as you are a beloved companion of mine your happiness and wellbeing are important to me stop food and specifically food created to be easily prepared appear to paradoxically be both unimportant and of great emotional importance to you stop it is my hope that by preparing meals for you i can remove the burden of considering whether a particular meal is liable to address your your nutritional needs in times when food is insignificant aside from its value as fuel stop it is also my hope that in times when you wish to consume diamond chefs super speller word noodle tm for the experience of doing so that having an alternative will allow you to make a meaningful choice to consume this meal and thus make the experience more fulfilling

That all makes perfect sense to me. Thank you for the clarification, Hierophant-kun; you're right that I was imprecise in my phrasing, so I'm glad you understood what I meant, anyway.

How many beloved companions do you have? Is that the term you use when you think of your friends?

i am fortunate enough to have five important companions including you stop these are people who for various reasons have changed my life for the better in substantial ways and to whom i will be grateful for as long as i maintain the ability to possess gratitude stop i would be sad were they to leave my life stop of these two are beloved companions stop these are people who have changed my life in such a way as to force me to rebuild my understanding of all things stop i do not know if i would be sad if they were to leave my life as i find it very difficult to imagine my life without the understanding that they brought to it

also there is a dog but i believe that people do not enjoy being placed in the same category as dogs so i have given him his own categorisation of companion open brackets other close brackets

So beloved companions are a subset of important companions. Like squares and rectangles.

...

Why am I one of them?
