▶ Lisa Frank's LSD Fun House
anytime, anywhere on the moon Iris | top
Everything is darkness except for dim lights sparkling in the distance, a faint gleam that greets you as you start to unfurl from your dormant state. Your body is hemmed in by shards of crystals, gently sparkling and possibly pricking your skin. The surrounding landscape is dyed in the pinks and purples of the dusk filled with crystals protruding from the ground, some as large as a skyscraper. Throat parched and skin dry and aching, you grope your body in alarm to make sure your possessions are still in place. This is far from home— perhaps a dream? You pinch your skin and slap your cheeks, yet nothing seems to do the trick. Searching for answers only rewards you with an endless expanse of purple dust as far as the eye can see. You have four options: one, panic; two, soil yourself; three, admire it all then soil yourself; or four, go into survival mode. Eventually, you’ll realize that you’re not alone.

anytime, anywhere on the moon iris | top
Time moves strangely when you're trapped on a moon with no sun to guide you. Hours feel like days, and days feel like weeks. Travelling has rendered you weak and tired. Luckily, a few crystal formations in the shape of a cavern may offer you a small place refuge as you decide to nap. You notice a few artifacts left over from previous explorers.
▶ Interstellar Action Force Assemble
prisma, iris | top
Over a day has passed when a group of people find you worse for wear. Some are full of uncertainty and fear while some are full of curiosity and excitement. They claim that they are scientists from the planet Prismatica here to investigate the sudden appearances of rainbow crystals in the skies. That means you and the others they’ve located within the area. You are all a surprising find to them, and they are quick to load everyone in their transport vehicles for examination and questioning.
You all may have your usual inquiries — Where are we? Who are you? What's going on? Why are the pegasi so ill-tempered? — and the Prismals are almost too eager to answer. They do have questions on their own, so it’s only fair to trade. They tell you about their world as they poke and prod you, trying to understand what you are and how you came into their land. If they’re not trembling in fear, some of them may ask you odd and invasive questions in return, such as what the rate at which your body achieves thermoregulation is, how long your refractory period is, and if you would be willing to submit various kinds of body fluids to them. It's up to whether you wish to comply or protest.

It only takes a couple hours for the ships to reach their home planet. The ships drop the characters off at the city of Lunatia, where they will be given their communication devices and a plastic card they can present to certain landlords at any residential district for their subsidized (read: absolutely free) lodging. Officials at Prisma instructed the newcomers to await further instructions from the government, but you have a lot of time to kill before then. Why not explore in the meantime? Learn the ins and outs of the world, get a job, transform under the full moon, and explore the many mysteries of planet Prismatica!

Everything is darkness except for dim lights sparkling in the distance, a faint gleam that greets you as you start to unfurl from your dormant state. Your body is hemmed in by shards of crystals, gently sparkling and possibly pricking your skin. The surrounding landscape is dyed in the pinks and purples of the dusk filled with crystals protruding from the ground, some as large as a skyscraper. Throat parched and skin dry and aching, you grope your body in alarm to make sure your possessions are still in place. This is far from home— perhaps a dream? You pinch your skin and slap your cheeks, yet nothing seems to do the trick. Searching for answers only rewards you with an endless expanse of purple dust as far as the eye can see. You have four options: one, panic; two, soil yourself; three, admire it all then soil yourself; or four, go into survival mode. Eventually, you’ll realize that you’re not alone.
A ⬤ As you traverse the near-barren landscape, you feel something sting your skin. It's small and subtle at first, then you finally catch sight of it: an elegant, crystalline mosquito buzzing around from the corner of your eye. However, a pest is still a pest. After a while, marks near your welts begin to form strange patterns on your skin, mimicking ancient runes. Each rune has with it a particular side-effect that may hinder you on your journey:✾ The Mark of the Enchanter: Hallucinations, hallucinations galore. Your character will see everything and anything their imagination can conjure and will have difficulty separating reality from fiction.
₪ The Mark of the Destroyer: Limbs start to cease their function, causing you to stumble or try and get around one-handed. Other certain body parts may be affected as well. Look at the bright side: you can stop worrying about jiggle physics and hiding your fear boner.
⍢ The Mark of the Sinner: Your hunger, your thirst, your fatigue and your desire are at an all-time high. Your impulses are rabid and uncontrollable. Maybe you experience only one of those symptoms. Maybe you experience them all. All you know is that you want relief now.
These effects will eventually clear up with a bit of accidental or purposeful physical contact with another person, making you wonder if there was anything wrong with you at all.
B ⬤ Hunger starts to gnaw at you vigorously. Perhaps you consider hunting the moon's creatures to sate your hunger. That's when you see it: a thick, meaty, juicy meal on legs.No, we're not talking about Alex Louis Armstrong. A wild silver-white pegasus runs across the purple landscape, its hair billowing in the wind as its hooves smack loudly against the ground. Try and shoot it, and you may find your efforts curtailed by its legendary rage. Eyes aglow and wings beating up a storm, this pegasus is no dainty horse. Two thousand pounds of pure muscle swoop down and charge at you, all blades and ammunition deflecting off its impenetrable skin. Taming appears impossible; it will buck anyone away and leave a sizable horn- or hoof-shaped hole in them for their efforts. Hunting it, however, should be easier. Relatively.
C ⬤ Or you may decide that you'd like to take a drink in the prismatic waters. A small pond can be found just a few miles away from where you first awoke, but gazing into it reflects what appears to be a window into your own world. You see the faces of loved ones or at least someone very close and familiar to you gathered around your prone body, shaking it frantically as though to try and rouse you, yet your image lies frozen and unresponsive, not even a whisper of life running through you. Did you die in your world? Is this your afterlife? The questions start to pile up along with the gnawing dread that you may never return home again.
▶ Camp Nowhere

Time moves strangely when you're trapped on a moon with no sun to guide you. Hours feel like days, and days feel like weeks. Travelling has rendered you weak and tired. Luckily, a few crystal formations in the shape of a cavern may offer you a small place refuge as you decide to nap. You notice a few artifacts left over from previous explorers.
D ⬤ A comm unit abandoned within the cavern will display the former owner's idol obsession. As you tap the buttons indiscriminately, a holographic screen will appear, and you will see a fabulous recorded concert featuring three bubbly young ladies in animal print, singing to you about something called Cordis, a cat, and a bag of gems. Does this make any sense to you? Probably not, but the beat is catchy. You may even find yourself tapping a foot along to it. Don’t worry. We know it’s plastic love.
E ⬤ There's a small cooler-like container of preserved powdered food bags labeled with only the word “Edible” that can be safely consumed. Although the powder tastes as bland as you’d expect, it’s oddly filling, sating either hunger or thirst. But who will be the first — and the bravest — to try eating them?
F ⬤ A strange, pointed instrument is among the effects found in the cavern. It's silver, long, and thin with a curved end and a light. When you grip it with warm hands, it seems to vibrate enthusiastically and comes in three settings indicated by a frowny face, a neutral face, and a happy face. What could it mean exactly? No one knows, but you can fiddle with it to your heart's desire. Just don't ask yourself where it's been before. You don't want to know.

It's up to whether you wish to comply or protest.
G ⬤ If you react violently, you will be restrained and nerfed with a specialized neurotransmitting gun that releases a numbing agent through the top of your spine. They came prepared, so have fun with that! In any case, conscious or not, you’ll be brought into one of the transport vehicles. If you choose to peacefully cooperate, you’ll be provided any necessary first aid and a refreshing drink to help you recuperate after the rough time you had for the past few days. Each transport vehicle has a few small rooms to rest in, but due to the limited space, you’ll have to snuggle up with someone else on that bunk bed. Unfortunately, the moonshine fruit the ship is also carrying in its cargo has an extremely sweet smell that’s been permeating through certain areas of the ventilation system… Taking a whiff of it may inebriate you for the rest of the trip.
H ⬤ It’s a bumpy ride as terrain vehicles draw over various crystal formations until you see a large dome-like structure up ahead. Within its confines lies the seat of the Prismatica's government, Prisma. It’s a bureaucratic wet dream: skyscrapers practically touch the upper surface of the dome, windows glimmer with a prismatic sheen as daylight hits them, and small ships can be seen flying to and from its spaceport. The scientists, members of the Lunar Scientia, usher you into their facilities for tests. Arrivals are likely to twitch, tremble, and panic as Lunar Scientia fellows take and broadcast every embarrassing, unfiltered detail about you — height, weight, age, strange odors, estimated frequency of sexual activity —- to one another. These scientists will ask you politely to undress, too, but understand if you don't want to. They're especially fascinated by the readings of pure Chroma inside you, whispering among one another excitedly about the possibility of the new arrivals being a new moon species. What should they call them? Moonborne? Moonblessed?
I ⬤ At long last, the questions and physical examinations are done. They’ve decided to call the arrivals as the Moonblessed. They’ll take you under their care until they understand more about you. You're allowed a very refreshing hot shower and a warm meal for your efforts. Don’t worry, the meal was imported from their planet. “Planet?” you might ask, but you won’t need to wonder for too long. The ships are preparing for their next destination: the nearby planet Prismatica, where you will be dwelling for the time being. You're free to explore the government center until then.

IAFA
it's as if some higher power is watching over him because that's when he spots roxas stuffing his face with alien food. ven acts first before thinking, too relieved to see another friend in an unfamiliar face.]
Roxas!
no subject
[ They'd only had a moment, one shared glance and then matters so much greater than Roxas's curiosity to deal with. Now that there's all the time in the world, Roxas finds himself... at a complete loss for words, faced with someone who shares his own face, who has had this entire life outside of Sora. ]
[ And yet? As intimate a connection as Roxas had. ]
Ven...
no subject
but maybe now they had that chance?
or maybe this was another case of ventus sticking himself in a situation he didn't belong in.
he waves a hand with an apologetic smile.] Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt you. I was just happy to see another familiar face here! I keep getting lose from Aqua and the others...
no subject
It's okay.
[ A lot happens all the time when you're a Keyblade bearer. Times like this, when no world is hanging on the brink, no friend is missing-- no, there IS a friend missing, but he hopes to find her, really soon--
Moments like this feel like an indulgence. ]
Um...where should we start? Names? Except I already know yours, so...
no subject
he tilts his head at the question, humming quietly.] Let's see...
[and then he smiles.] How about... things you like to do for fun? Like hobbies?
no subject
[ He looks just like me, notes the former Nobody, Except for the parts that don't. Little things. Like how he smiles, his body language is less stiff than his own. Maybe it isn't right to call it 'childish', but more like Sora's endless zest for life. ]
Hobbies? Uh, I used to ride a skateboard. You know, tricks and stuff.
[ There's more - the video games strewn on the floor of his bedroom in the simulated Twilight Town suggested he'd liked those, but had no real memory of actually playing them. And when he thinks about it more... they really didn't have that much in terms of 'hobbies' in the Organization. Roxas feels kind of embarrassed. ]
What about you?
no subject
ventus pulls some of the bread roll apart as he eats bits and pieces of it, listening to roxas. he tilts his head.] A skateboard? I've never tried riding one of those before. I'd probably crack my head open if I did. [he laughs easily, imagining the look on aqua's face if she caught him stumbling around on a skateboard.]
But for me? Hmmm... I've tried baking, but most of the time I'm lucky if I don't cause a small fire in the oven. [another sheepish grin before perking up.] Oh, but I do have my keyblade glider! I loved riding through the valleys back home on it - especially on windy days. Those were the best!
no subject
[ He seems really... carefree. Yeah, no wonder he sees so much of Sora in him. ]
[ Roxas snorts laughter at his admission that he might cause a fire. Ok, so they're not that uncommon, Roxas hasn't tried to cook a lot, but he could easily mix up salt and sugar and ruin everything. Forget that, though -- ]
A Keyblade... glider? What's that? [ Keyblades can be VEHICLES???? ]
no subject
Huh? Oh!
[ven looks around, judging the size of the space they were in before setting down his food and hopping up. with some distance from roxas he brushes some crumbs off of his pants and holding out his hand he calls out his keyblade.] It's this!
[a flash of light and lo and behold - a glider appears. it's large enough to fit two people as it hovers just above the floor. ven places a foot on the surface, letting his weight bounce it slightly.]
If we get some place where I can ride it safely I could take you for a ride on it - if that's... something you're interested in, of course.
no subject
[ Bottom line up front, Roxas is staring at that with so much covetous wonder it's a small miracle he hasn't just tried to climb up onto it already. ]
Really?!
[ He's not even all that prone to sudden exclamations like that, either, not usually, but it's safe to say Ven has happened upon the best idea ever. ]
Yeah! Yeah, that would be great!
no subject
Awesome! I haven't had as much practice as Terra or Aqua, but I have been trying out new kind of cool moves I could do! Oh- we'll definitely need to get you a helmet first. [he grins widely as he calls his keyblade back to him. the glider disappears and reappears as his blade in hand before that too disappears as well.
ven comes back over to plop down on his earlier seat.]
There's something so... so magical about flying, though. Being up in the sky with the wind, it's... it's hard to explain. I'll definitely show you one day.
no subject
[ Oh the places they'll go, the sick flips they'll accomplish. Ven, it's Christmas and the gift that keeps giving is the crazy stuff they're going to do together on that glider. Crazy, reckless, assuredly dangerous stuff that will probably get them scolded but you only live once. ]
[ Usually. ]
You don't have to, it's... pretty amazing.
[ He didn't really give a crap about pixie dust or the concept of flight until he had friends to enjoy it with. Having this idea associated with such fond memories? Honestly, it just makes him even more eager to try it. ]
...Um.
[ He should really say something more. ]
Thanks.
no subject
[stupidly dangerous shit that will most certainly get them into trouble or at least with one or two broken bones and a lot of bruises.
most definitely worth it though.
ven looks to him with a curious expression, still smiling.]
You know, I'm really glad we could meet, Roxas. Just... in general, you know? [even if it's in a place like this where they can actually talk.] I have a good feeling about all of this.
no subject
[ But now they have, and they even have plans to do something that sounds really fun together and he feels- ]
[ He feels like he's going into this with a new friend. ]
Heh heh, you always seem like the kind of guy with a good feeling about everything.
no subject
Well, yeah! [popping another piece of bread into his mouth.] Expecting the worst to happen all the time just sounds so exhausting. [as easy as that would be considering his life so far...] And aside from running away from some weird pegasus and having to eat powdered food, things here haven't been horrible. I'm excited to see what happens next!
