Just so you know, I don't mind, but be careful about calling Moonlit magical. Some of us get upset about it. A lot of people call us cursed and stuff, there's history there.
[ Not that they're a monolith, and even if they were, Yamada hasn't been in a Moonlit community for some time. He headbutted his way out of mandatory group therapy as a teenager. ]
But no one will mind being called nonsensical. I knew someone who was a tree. Full time, not shapeshifting like me!
So, basically, it's not a technique. It's a thing that happens to us and then... we're different, forever. For me, it's transmogrification. It varies a lot.
[ He sends over a picture of him and two other people, standing in a size order in front of each other. At the front, an adorable, long-haired woman covered in stitches. Every joint visible, as she gives a double peace sign, and her mouth seems to go all the way around her head, just stitched shut to normal human proportions. Yamada is double-pacing also. And the guy towering over them both is giving three peace signs because it's an astoundingly buff man with two muscular arms where they should be, and another instead of a neck, an oversized hand replacing a head. It's not totally clear from the angle, but it kind of looks like his legs bend the wrong way... because they're arms too. ]
Captain Mimi can control her blood, and Lieutenant Hanz... I think you can guess.
[ Yamada is also wrong here. Mimi actually is her blood, but she keeps that a secret. ]
In my case? Overtime, and too hard for not enough pay.
[ He's just making his silly little jokes. After a bit though, he gives a proper answer. ]
The Moon Eye appears in the sky, somewhere, some planet, every now and then. Wherever it looks, things change. If you come out of it changed, with your mind intact, you're Moonlit. No one knows HOW we work. We all work differently.

I didn't realize there was a whole bunch of nonsense shapeshifters though. I thought that was just some weird trick you figured out
