▶ TDM .011


You awaken amidst the darkness with only a faint light to greet you. 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. After an hour or two of wandering through the crystal wilderness, a group of people find you worse for wear. They are the gallant Moon Knights from the planet of Prismatica. Because of the strange phenomena during the past months when scientists observed the sudden appearance of rainbow crystals in the sky, the government has been feverishly combing through the moon for more Moonblessed to be rescued. You’ll eventually be brought into Iris’s moon government center.

You all may have your usual inquiries — Where are we? Who are you? What's going on? — and the Prismals are almost too eager to answer. They tell you about their world and about the first appearance of the Moonblessed as the medical staff give you an examination to make sure you’re not carrying any viruses or biological hazards. If you react violently, you may be restrained and nerfed with a specialized neurotransmitting gun that releases a numbing agent through the top of your spine. Once the examinations are over, you’re informed that you will be provided accommodations on their planet during your stay. You will then be escorted to the docks, and led onto a large transport vessel that makes frequent trips back and forth between the Iris moon and the planet. Faces onboard vary from both old and new Moonblessed as well as the local Prismals.

The next destination: Prismatica.


There and Back Again
Iris Moon, Government Center (Arrival) and Planet Prismatica, City of Lunatia | top

Welcome to Prismatica’s hub, Lunatia, the city of your dreams! A bustling metropolis lush with bright lights, vibrant colors, luxuriant plant life, and all the conveniences of technology absent from your own world… It seems like paradise to all the uninitiated. After a quick tour of the city, new arrivals can find themselves getting cozy in their new homes.

 A  Settle in your new home at Level 2 to find new roommates and say hello to your neighbors! City officials will give you directions to the designated districts across Level 2 and instruct you to pick out a unit. Each apartment complex has a different aesthetic, some may look cozy, some stylish, and some bizarre. The free accommodations have a basic living space that can only fit two or three people at most in one unit.

Starter Chromaspace furnishings are provided which can be controlled with the touch of a built-in panel. Examples are color-changing curtains, transforming sofa beds, cabinets turning into tables, etc. Customizing your apartment or moving out will have to wait until you earn more chroma. Until then, why don’t you check out your new neighborhood or explore the city levels? Maybe your new roommates or neighbors can give you a “hand” with allowance for dinner.

 B  As a Remooning gift from the Lunar Scientia Headquarters, the dedicated team from the Amphoria Room has released their latest perfected technology: Amphoria Pods. These VR Pods, which can fit up to four people at a time, have been set up in the gaming hub within Level 1’s PrismaPlace. They allow users to upload sceneries of their world in order to create a realistic holographic landscape of their homes that others can access and play around with, granting everyone the means to relive past memories with their loved ones as well as interact with the bestiary of other worlds. The pods also use the same technology that enhanced the popular virtual game, League Match Action Online (LmaO), which means you’re liable to feel the chill of cold environments, the burning heat from boiling water, the hard slap of your ex-lover, or the biting sting of a stray wasp. All who use the Amphoria Pods for the first time this year will also receive a small amount of Chroma in case things get too real.





God Save Us from the Queen
Level 1, PrismaPlace and Level 2, Greatmoon Groves | top

The first month of the year is packed with two of the most important winter events this season: Queen Elara’s birthday and the League Match Action Online (LmaO) PVP semi-finals. It just so happens that the Queen of Lunatia is also a huge LmaO fan. Coincidence? Definitely not! LmaO players and royal family fans alike can meet her at PrismaPlace, where she will be appearing in cosplay of her favorite hero, Ah-Kari, while holding a body pillow of Commander GareBear. You, too, can get an autograph or selfie with the birthday girl if you’re willing to fall in line! Her bodyguards will also be in LmaO cosplay, keeping the crowd under control during the long wait.


Queen Elara

Good day to you all! This may come as a surprise to our guests the Moonblessed, but I am a normal person despite my exalted position. Please do not think of me today as Queen Elara. Instead... my name is Ah-Kari, sorceress of the crystal! With my soul fan blades, through the darkness, I shall slice all who dare hurt my commander in twain!


But when she is not meeting and greeting...


Queen Elara

My comrades, we're going to make history today. We're going for a new record. Perhaps the highest kill counts or the fastest clear for this map — it matters not. We’ve practiced day and night for this tournament, so let us show everyone that we’re not to be taken lightly! Also, the livestream is going in the royal archive, so make your successors proud!!


... she will be furiously grinding her character and training her skills in LmaO in the hopes of qualifying for the finals. Spectators will see her bring her own team full of hapless palace attendants who are there to either serve as her practice match partners or provide support to the one-woman army that is Queen Elara.

PrismaPlace is packed with giant crowds, many of them also in cosplay. While the semi-finals are taking place, new and old LmaO players alike can participate in the game’s current campaign: players who form teams get an improved chance of spawning unique monsters as well as winning rare items and skins in those prized lootboxes! Teams can also try to clear the event’s story together, featuring an aerial battle fought on griffin-back, which is heavily inspired by the popular Lunatian epic, The Battle of Abraxas, a colorful and complex story about the conflict between two families fighting over the fictional land of griffins, Abraxas.

 A  Progression in the event requires acquiring a griffin mount and getting it ready for battle. You can lure a wild one to yourself with a special veggie pie on a fishing pole. Should the griffin reject the lure, your character will be caught in a wind gaol and can only break out with the help of other players. Should you succeed, raising the griffin is a tedious task that involves players training alongside their respective griffins, running laps with them, taking them to hunt monsters, and feeding them properly. Depending on their diet, the food you give them will affect the color of its plumage and their battle stats.

Or you can skip the hard work and simply moonlace with your teammates through all the progression bars and required materials to save time. Once finished, you’ll be able to battle one another through the thunderous aerial domain of Abraxas. Clearing the event will net you an event-exclusive skin inspired by the royal family’s shining celestial robes and a weapon skin of a body pillow with your favorite character, so do your best!

 B  In celebration of Queen Elara’s birthday, the office of the royal household is hosting a modest tea party in the Greatmoon Groves. Swiffy bots that are normally programmed to remind visitors to keep the groves clean are now playing a birthday jingle on repeat. For people who prefer to be away from the blinding neon lights and the thumping techno music of PrismaPlace, this is the ideal escape. Unlimited tea and cookies are being served!

The tea is a soft-colored lilac concoction made from Ehrysian tea leaves that are known to cause a huge spike of alertness and is popular to Moon Knights and office workers with long night shifts as well as gamers for those all-night grinding sessions. The assorted cookies have either Ah-Kari or Commander GareBear printed on them. In case it isn't obvious yet, both are the birthday girl’s favorite LmaO characters.

Any Moonblessed looking for extra income is welcome to be royal attendants for the day; the hours are paid by Demichroma. They must be properly dressed up as maids or butlers (outfits provided by the royal household) as they serve tables.





Say Cheese
Level 3, Caihong | top

Meanwhile, Caihong is in the midst of Remooning festivities in celebration of the new year, and merriment usually lasts a fortnight, filled with fireworks in the sky. Upon entering the district, beautiful Prismals with rat ears and tails greet you with a Happy Remooning and eagerly tug you along to join in.

Those welcomed will receive a pack of multi-colored sparklers, mooncakes topped with cheese, and a glowing drink called Champagne Supernova, poured in a thin glass in your hand. If you are over eighteen, the rat Prismals will ask if you prefer your drink with a kick. If you say yes, then they will add flavorful ice that causes extreme intoxication and might leave you to be susceptible to all levels of suggestion. Saying no (or if you’re under 18) will simply leave it as a sweet drink.

 A  One of the party games being played by the locals is called Lucky Tail, which is basically pinning the tail on the holographic rat stand-in — with a twist, it must be played with a partner! Another participant will blindfold you, spin you around, then push you forward. The stand-in is located at the end of unsteady elevated platforms forming a maze, filled to the brim with distracting objects underneath. They’re long, they’re thick, and they’re vibrating furiously in an attempt to knock you off the platforms.

Your partner must guide you by voice to successfully navigate through the maze! The game is rigged with various mechanisms, so stepping on specific platforms will activate a number of traps against you or your partner: machines that may tickle, drop colorful slime, or cause the platform to repetitively spin, and who knows what else?

Should you manage to get through the obstacle course and pin the tail successfully, you and your partner will win copious amounts of Demichroma, courtesy of Buwan from Buwan’s Stop.

 B  Another attraction is a fun magic glamour booth known for its face or body swap features. The booth staff, clad in their festive rat paraphernalia, will encourage you and your friends to take aesthetic shots using an illusion generator. The effects last an hour. Photographed images can be instantly uploaded and shared in Prismagram. New year, new you! Why not take the chance to celebrate this momentous occasion in a unique fashion? It’s all in good humor.

There are two buttons to press: (A) CUSTOM or (B) RANDOM. Pressing A will allow participants to customize their desired effects. Pressing B will cause the illusion magic to randomly rearrange participants in questionable positions, new outfits (or lack thereof), and you may even come out of the booth looking like your best friend or your worst rival. The possibilities are endless!

[1.) There and back Again]

[Living out on the street sounded like a horrible idea to Matt. So while he doesn’t trust a lot of what he’s been told, he still chooses to get himself an apartment. They are being provided to them and all, so why not just go along with it. He brushes his hand along the numbers on each door as he passes them on the first floor.

It’s mostly to get a count of how many apartments there are to each floor. While a bottom level apartment would have been nice, all of them seem to be taken. The sound of foots steps are picked up by him and he tilts his head a little in their direction before turning.]


Hey, do you have a moment to help me out? Do you know which floor is likely to have unoccupied apartments?


[2. Say Cheese]

[The noises and scents are all vivid to Matt as he nears the Remooning festival. Immersing himself in this new world that he’s found himself on seems like a smart idea. How much this festival will help him with that goal, he doesn’t know. But you can’t learn about a place simply by sitting in your apartment.

One thing was completely obvious, this place seemed nothing like Hell’s Kitchen, with good reason. It’s another world. When you spend your life living in one place, it’s not easy to adjust to a new one, but Matt was trying his best.

He navigated the crowds with walking stick in hand, waiting for something to catch his attention. Something does and he stops at booth with Mooncake at it. He studies the smell for a moment before turning his head a bit as someone is nearby.]


Excuse me. Can you tell me what this food is?


[3. Wildcard]

PM to work something out or just tag me with what you have in mind.

fjord, critical role

[personal profile] halforc 2020-01-12 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
1. arrival.

[ He misses the Cottage something horrendous when he wakes up to a field full of murderously tall crystals, looking around in a panic for Caduceus who shared their room and only calming when the situation is explained in full and at length, well before he is taken anywhere. Admittedly, he remains spooked for a while longer than he lets on, but he doesn't want to startle the Moon Whoevers into beating the alarm out of him. It all progresses in a wild blur from then on, too much information making Fjord docile in his exhaustion, dozing on the trip over to the ... planet (uh, sure) and finally sleeping most of the day away in a flat he neither trusts or recognises in any way. When he wakes up after passing out (dreaming of hat-drinking carousing back home), hours and hours later, Fjord heads back outside to take his first real look at the residential housing sector. Whichever direction his boots take, he supposes it hardly matters at this point; apparently this isn't even bloody Exandria.

That's how people may find a green-skinned, solemn half-orc, well over six-feet tall, mooching around the streets. What they may not expect when he clears his throat near them, however, is the upperclass British accent. ]


Pardon me, yes — hello. Could you perhaps point me toward the nearest tavern where I might find a decent meal? I'd be much obliged.

[ Enjoy the dichotomy as his stomach growls. ]


2. tea party.

[ Not to continue the same thread of alarm that seems to have wound itself through his bones, but what the actual fuck is happening. He needs to get away from the glaring lights of the city that somehow makes Rexxentrum feel like a hole in the wall and ends up in a grove, quieter with tea being served on behalf of yet another queen he wants nothing to do with ... but he eats a fair amount of cookies all the same, because screw it. The tea is incredibly stimulating; he sags into himself when he remembers he doesn't have Clay around to ask what he thinks of it. More accurately, Fjord has no one. It's pretty lonely to be without his merry (somewhat mental) troop like this. Jarring, in fact. Or is that his jangling, hyper-caffeinated nerves? ]

... I'm overdosing on tea.

[ Muttering to himself in the middle of a crowd. ]


3. fireworks & custom dnd body parts, oh my.

[ His admiration of the fireworks is only outdone by the curious sight of people entering a booth and exiting looking ... very different. Upon investigation, Fjord snorts to find it's a public-wide spell of sorts resembling Mask Of Many Faces, the rat-people somehow casting repeat versions of Disguise Self on multiple customers without losing the ability.

It seems pretty fucking cool and costs him no reserves of his own spell slots, so. He queues up.

The first version of himself he saves a picture of (whatever that means, he'll figure it out later) is human: green skin swapped out for olive, yellow eyes for blue, no tusks ... What he guesses he would have looked like if his father hadn't been an orc. It's frankly a little vanilla, and whereas a year ago he might have been thrilled, right now it's a swing and a miss. So, round two.

Fuck it, he takes a leaf out of Beau's book and goes full-on tiefling, just as tall and broad as usual but with horns curling backwards from his forehead and a lashing tail. He's way too big, but who cares. It's a good way to sober up from all the champagne supernovas the rats gave him when he arrived in Caihong. ]


... This is a trip.

[ And then his confident stride sends his abruptly forgotten tail smacking into a vendor's cart of mooncakes, narrowly avoiding toppling it. Fjord snatches up the offending tail in a fist and holds it close to his body, flustered. ]

Sorry, sorry! My apologies, I've only had this blasted thing for ten minutes!

[A. God Save Us from the Queen]

[Nidai normally didn't care much for video games. But this whole virtual reality type of game managed to catch his eye. It seemed like a way to go on adventures without straining his heart too much! So he entered the game and took part in the current campaign.

He didn't have much problem getting along with his griffin, but then he ended up off on his own sidequest. Someone could find Nidai with a club in hand in a secluded grove, while he oversees his griffin bouncing a coconut around. He seems glad when he spots someone else nearby.]


Oh good, we have company! [He gestures towards his griffin.] See, my new athlete and I have been trying to create a new sport. Would you like to join us?

[B. Say Cheese: Lucky Tail]

[The game seems like a fun way to make some money! He volunteers, to act as the guide for someone else. The tall, burly young man keeps his arms crossed while he confidently states his credentials.]

I'm known as the Ultimate Team Manager. Guiding other people is my greatest skill! So please, allow me to guide you to the very end!! [He points dramatically forward, ready to get this started!]

[C. Say Cheese: Glamour Booth]

[Nidai is intrigued by the glamour booth! Mostly, he thinks it'll be funny to try out. So he'll try to wave over anyone who happens to be passing by.]

Hey! Come over here and check this out, it'll be fun!

[He'll also be quick to try to hit the 'RANDOM' button for booth of them, hoping for results as ridiculous as possible!]

[D. Wildcard]

[Feel free to come up with an alternate scenario! He can also be found checking out potential apartments and mingling at the Remooning festivities!]

Neptune | We Know the Devil

[personal profile] wickedflood 2020-01-13 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[GOD SAVE US FROM THE QUEEN]

A.


Ughhhhhhhhhh. Come onnnnnnnnnnnn.

[Neptune dangles her bait off the side of the floating island, absolutely bored to tears. She didn't sign up for this game for slow-paced fishing minigames -- she wanted to get things rolling and start blowing things up. MMOs and other online games aren't really her speed (it's hard to get a good connection in the midwest sometimes, anyway), but she couldn't help but be intrigued by this fantasy game everyone kept talking about. It's hard not to, you know? She's never seen so many people so passionately excited over something so dumb. It's kinda great. Not that she'd ever say that out loud.]

When is this thing supposed to show up, anyway?

B.

[Alright. After a quite stupid amount of work she finally got her mount, and now they ewant her to do more work? Just to have fun?? Grinding is bullshit. Wasting her time is bullshit. This game is bullshit. And thankfully, there are plenty of other players out there agree.]

So, what. All we gotta do is hold hands or whatever? That sounds way too easy.


[SAY CHEESE]

C.


[Of course Neptune lied about her age. What is she going to do, be responsible and good and pass up on an opportunity to drink? Who is she going to impress? She's a bad girl and she's going to act like one.

As it turns out, fancy champagne tastes way better than cheap flavored liquor taken from a parents' cabinet. It still tastes like death! All alcohol does. But this is like, classy death.

She isn't quite sure how she got talked into being someone's partner for this game (everything sorta sounds like a good idea two drinks in), but as she feels the maze rumble to life beneath her, blindfolded and alone, she starts to regret her life choices.]


Nuh uh. No way. I am NOT going in there, are you kidding me? Give me one good reason why I should play along with this.

D.

[Or, perhaps, your character miscalculated.

Neptune sips nonchalantly at her flute of golden champagne, overseeing the maze with an imperious eye. She has no intention of playing games in good faith. Either she cheats to win or plays to make everyone else lose.]


Just keep going forward! The way is totally clear!

[The way is totally not clear. The way is blocked by a pit of neon green jello slime. It slurps and slorps wetly as it sloshes against the sides.]

1) There and Back Again [B]
[Nadir was often too busy traveling to really experience any new technological advances back home, so he's pretty excited to have the downtime to try something new.

He has a good many memories he could share, though he's pretty sure no one would give a crap about anything personal and he's pretty keen on not thinking personal things anyway, so he brings up a memory of one of the prettier places he's been, a giant forest where most everything was huge, including wildflowers of intense colors towering above. A highly romantic place, cool and relaxing, also full of boisterous nymphs of all sorts, but that was currently missing from the memory. It's just him, you, and the sound of wind through petals.

If you're nice enough, he'll show you around, fly you up to a flower, you ever sat on one like a sweet little field mouse? Here's your chance. If you're not nice enough, well, have fun antagonizing a kitsune in VR.]



2) God Save Us from the Queen
[Nadir is extremely uncomfy in this large crowd, ears folded back slightly, tail between the legs, and he's watching the queen.....holding a body pillow....talk.

He leans over to you and asks, pretty unnerved:]


Uh, she's just, like, queen of this video game, right? Like a mascot? Not...not a real queen, is she?

[Hi, stranger, Nadir is obviously a newcomer.]


3) Say Cheese [A]
[Nadir is no stranger to innocuous things being tweaked to be weird or somewhat dangerous, so this pin the tail on the rat thing sounds pretty fun and up his alley. At least, he assumes so at the start. He forgets he has a pretty low threshold of patience...

Either way, he's standing at the start line of the maze, and he looks up at his partner down the way, and gives a very cheerful double wave of arms up in the air, tail wagging.]


Heyyyy!! We got this!!

[He shouts as loud as he can, cheerfulness at an 11, right before a blindfold is put on him and he's spun around.]

arrival

[ Hm. Well, this is definitely unsettling. Rose wakes up with a jolt and it takes .02 seconds to notice that she is definitely not with the resistance. Her first thought is of the salt crystals that had fallen like snow on the planet Crait. But this is not it.

What's worse perhaps, than not knowing where she is, is not knowing how she got here. When the collectors had come to get her, she'd initially been mistrustful but seeing as she had nowhere else to go had eventually relented.

Once after the medical exam and the explanation, she'd found herself herded into the transport. The wave of nerves hasn't abated, and Rose sits quietly, absently clutching the medallion she wore. ]


there and back again

[ Rose is a little bit giddy about the VR, she'd be lying if she said she wasn't. There's an air of excitement as she studies the sleek tech before stepping into one of the pods. Surprisingly enough it's the wretched casino with it's gilded walls and smooth talking war profiteers, that she chooses but Rose pays it no heed as she steps down and outside, into the cool night air.

Everything is exactly as she remembers it, the atmosphere and in itself, that's amazing. Down to the stables, where the fathiers are being kept. And when she touches the snout of one of the caged beasts, it's warm and real under her hand. ]


This feels so real. Far more advanced than any simulation I've ever seen.

say cheese!

[ As the night wore on, Rose steps a little outside her bubble, still feeling awkward about it, as she works up the nerve to ask a stranger about the game. ]

Hi. D'you have a partner yet? [ And then she adds quickly, not wanting to get the wrong idea sent here: ] For the game, I mean.

[personal profile] athenashand 2020-01-13 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
there and back again ☾ A

[She's been free of the ordeal of the Abyss of Time for all of a week, not even completely settled into her new dormitory with Yukari as they begin the new school year and a new chapter of their life. It was so difficult to take the first steps onto that path, and now she's been upended from it onto this...planet. She can't precisely name the strange sense of injustice she feels at this turn of events. But she does her due diligence, asks too many questions and fills her head with enough information that her emotions about this turn of events seem less daunting.

Information. She should do reconaissance. Yes, that's the best place to start.

So she wanders the neighborhood surrounding her assigned dwellings. It doesn't even occur to her to change out of her Gekkoukan uniform, so she doesn't look terribly stylish amongst the native Prismals and more established Moonblessed.

She finds her way around, wandering around the malls, through the groves and by the beach...most places. And she's very attentive to her surroundings, but still, she can't help but get a little distracted by the Swiffy bots that roam the city and keep it tidy.

Wherever she goes, she can often be found watching pensively as they go about their duties. And, sometimes, speaking quietly and politely to them as they pick up some trash or other debris:]
Thank you.


there and back again ☾ B

[It's a somewhat fraught decision. Didn't they all just learn their lesson about being trapped in the past? It's awfully fresh in Aigis's mind as she regards the Amphoria Pods. Despite everything, it's...tempting, under these circumstances. To seek the comfort of the past, of the familiar, as she's been ripped from her home in such a vulnerable time.

She ends up compromising. Something familiar, but practical. She shouldn't let herself get rusty, especially in a new and potentially dangerous environment.

The VR landscape takes the form of a dark labyrinth of hallways, where visibility is limited and the atmosphere is oppressively ominous. Aigis, however, looks right at home as she confronts a small cluster of hand-shaped creatures. Emptied shells of spent bullets clink to the ground as she fires them from her fingers. And without missing a beat, with the faint sound of something shattering, she summons a figure to aid her.

The figure strums a melody on her heart-shaped lyre and all the enemies ignite in bursts of flame before dispersing into black smoke.]



say cheese ☾ A

[Yes, this is more the sort of thing Aigis is familiar with, even if the threats of this maze are much more...mundane and silly than those of Tartarus or the Abyss of Time. She holds the blindfold that she's been given to put on her partner in both hands, and then gives a resolute nod.

Her voice is soothing, albeit slow and well-enunciated. Kind of like listening to a guided meditation or something. She gives a reassuring smile, too.]
Please don't worry. I'm very experienced with navigation and command. I can direct you safely through the maze.

[Fuuka's skills would be best suited to this, of course, but Aigis is confident that her programming and experience will still be useful for this task!]


wild card ☾ haha, get it?

[ ooc: feel free to hit me with a different prompt! Aigis is very curious and can be found most places, though for the time being she will be avoiding sexual situations. hit me up via PM or at [plurk.com profile] ceesawaseesaw if you'd like to discuss something! ♥ ]

[Zelgadis was hoping to avoid the encouraged method of earning a living for moonblessed; he still wasn't sure how he felt about it, and was nearly certain that this was all some sort of horrible anxiety dream. Despite the time that's passed. But while he'd never done serving work, he could at least wear a suit and pour tea. So, why not be a butler for the day?]

[Well, the music was driving him nuts, and Zelgadis wasn't actually good with people, so he was trying to hide being surly and ill-tempered until his shift ended.]

More tea?

[Say Cheese - B]

[Yes, Prismatica had enough weird people thanks to the moons that Zelgadis's appearance didn't merit too many stares. Yes, it was an illusion. But as soon as Zelgadis figured out what the glamour booths did, he was repeatedly using them to make himself look like his old human self. And he'd figured out how long the illusion lasted.]

There and Back Again
[Vegeta was pretty much able to settle in anywhere, so the layouts of the housing does little to catch his attention, as long as he has a place to sleep and eat.

The Amphoria Pods however turn out to be interesting, not like the gaming he is use to back home, which while Vegeta does enjoy is mostly just a minor pastime. But the fact you can create with this device had caught his curiosity, interested enough to give it a go to see what it is capable of. It was this world development that kept him caught up in it, building a place he had not seen in a very long time. Some parts are still fuzzy since it was going from memories so long ago, a planet and location long since destroyed and with less than a handful left who would remember it. Hell, he may be the only one. Well, him and Frieza...

For those entering may find the world a little warm or dry, it did hold a lot of desert-like lands with little green growth, but the strongest sensation is the change in gravity. For those that hold a level of super strength they should be able to handle it, to at least be able to walk around. Those without may have trouble just standing, this world expressing ten times gravity for that of Earth. And don’t expect Vegeta to be a great host either, having done this more for himself than to share with others, so unwanted visitors will not be appreciated.]


God Save Us From the Queen
[He really has no interest in this monarch’s celebration, or whatever this game was that was making others dress up and make a fool of themselves. Food however Vegeta can get behind, even better if free and tasty. He’s at least not going all out, able to gauge the mood of the room, though he still has grabbed a larger serving of those cookies than most might had. And it was nice to just sit back with a cup of tea, almost reminiscent of his and Bulma’s coffee breaks, or tea in his case, during the madness that was their lives.

For Vegeta, any effects of that tea may seem subtle to others, but this is due mainly to the fact that he tends to internalize his thought processes and alertness, turning stuff over and over in his brain rather than noting them down or speaking them aloud. If anything you may find him appearing absentminded when trying to interact with him, too caught up in his own thoughts to notice anyone else at first.]


Say Cheese
[The people of this world was far too touchy for Vegeta’s tastes, an aggravated huff from him as he’s tugged or pulled along with the celebrations, even if it did result in food and drink. The only thing that could make it worse is getting involved in some stupid game made for children. He will NOT take place in this stupid maze game! Certainly not blindfolded at least! However he may be convinced to bark orders at a partner who insists on making themselves look like an idiot...]

Isaka/Peacock Undead | Kamen Rider Blade

Arrival

[The first thought that comes to the Peacock Undead, as he awakens surrounded by crystals, is that this should not be. He had lost the Battle Fight. Lost it twice, if he cared to take a moment to be honest with himself. But the second thought to come to him is that he now has a third chance at victory. And the promise of that is what brings the creature to his feet, and takes him across the vast, barren expanse of lunar wasteland. He's a striking sight, nearly seven feet of black and electric blue menace, and he moves at a steady but relentless pace. Up ahead, somewhere he senses... something. No other Undead like himself, but a sufficiently large concentration of power that, whatever it is, he needs to see it for himself.

It is this singular focus that keeps him from immediately realizing that there are others out here. Even when realization dawns on him, he cannot bring himself to actually care. Not until a figure actually comes into view.

And so he stops, and he stares, and he finally asks himself the questions that he should have probably asked himself sooner: what is actually happening here? Where is this? And, finally aloud, in a demanding voice...]


Who are you? What are you?

Say Cheese

[By the time that the Peacock Undead has been processed and brought planetside, he has cleaned himself up somewhat. Though his black-on-black wardrobe makes him stick out like a sore thumb in this pastels-and-neon city, it's at least not likely to make anyone flee from him in terror. A comparatively more pleasant outward face should get him farther than menace and mind-reading alone. And he has very, very far to go, even going by what little he has come to understand about his situation.

So "Isaka" is... mingling. Taking in the sights, and making mental notes. He is going to learn things. Which is why he is allowing himself to be hauled into... some sort of festivities by rat-tailed revelers. With an absolute poker face he accepts the sparklers, and the mooncakes, and then tucks both of those into the crook of one arm as he is finally passed a flute of what he is fairly certain is champagne. That, he knows. A refined drink. Expensive. Fitting for someone like him. And of course he would accept it having 'a kick', for anything less would be below a being of his strength. So he has himself a testing sip.

And then, quite impressed, he knocks the rest of it back in one go.

This is why he can be found, not long after, trying to pick a fight with a holographic advertisement.]


You. You, turn and face me!

[The rainbow-haired holographic Prismal model does not. It grins and spins about, and prances out of sight, to be replaced with a swirl of neon text.]

Get back here!

[Maybe... maybe someone should try and stop him.]

Tea Party

[Resources are important, if one is to establish oneself in a new world. Isaka has done this for himself once, and he is determined to do it once again. If he must start small... well, then he must start small. Mind controlling his way into appropriating other people's funds and facilities requires first finding someone worth exerting that control on. Thus he has temporarily debased himself by donning a butler's outfit to distribute tea and cookies to party-goers.

He does the job with absolutely no grace, and next to no charisma. His expression is bland at best, with occasional ventures into openly contemptuous. His only saving grace is that he looks half decent in the outfit. So if you're one of those who has settled in for refreshments, you may find yourself being approached by this brusque butler, interrupted mid-conversation or mid-bite.]


More tea?

[No one said that he had to do this well, to get paid.]

There and Back Again

Being pulled away from his mission had put Wolf at unease, but no matter which of these government officials he talked to he got the same answers. They did not control the flow of who came in and out. It was up to their gods who he was not able to petition. This place needed assistance in its own way and without assisting it there was no telling when he would be returned.

With no other options the Shinobi would start looking for a place to stay. He was directed to level two and told he may find accommodations either with a roommate or on his own if he found an empty place.

So he would find one of the apartment complexes and start trying to find an empty one.

Seeing a shabby looking man with a katana roaming your apartment complex and looking for an unlocked room might be worth asking a few questions about.

God Save Us From The Queen

An elegant tea party wasn't exactly the place for a Shinobi such as himself. At least not as a guest. Yet here he was. He wanted to get a feel for the surroundings and the rulers of his place. The Wolf had no intentions of changing his master, but he wanted to understand if he was about to be subject to just, beloved ruler or if there would be problems.

So there would be the odd sight of a grungy looking man with a sword on his hip sipping tea. If one looked closely they might see that one of his arms wasn't quite flesh and blood.

Wild Card

(Nothing quite fit? Hit me with your own starter? He could potentially be talked into playing Lucky Tail, but he'd need someone to ask him.)

i. [there and back again: b]

[It's taken a bit for Taichi to adjust to being here - both getting over the initial concerns that Heartseed hadn't whipped up a really elaborate phenomena, and then adjusting to all of the strange new things about this place when he finally accepted what was being told to him. But after he's finally been given the run down, he'll head out into Lunatia to explore. Seeing and feeling everything makes it easier to believe he isn't just hallucinating.

Eventually, that wandering leads him to PrismaPlace, where he learns of the Amphoria Pods. The concept sounds too interesting not to try, so he finds himself getting into line to give it a go without giving it much thought beyond that.

As Taichi waits, though, it hits him - this'll probably be his last chance to see home for a while, huh? There isn't really any way to gauge when he might get to return, so... He should try to make it count. It's that thought that makes his footsteps more sure as he finally walks to the pods for his turn.

He flinches a bit, feeling a small zap as his memories are uploaded, and then... when he opens his eyes, a quiet school room is before him, sunlight slanting in through the window.]


Wow. [It comes out a little breathless, wondering as he takes it in. It feels weird since it hasn't been that long, but... Looking at it almost makes him feel homesick.] It really does look like the clubroom... [He laughs a bit, mind still reeling a little over the fact that something like this is even real, before he manages to shoot a sheepish smile at whoever he might be with.] Sorry, my turn might end up being a little boring, but... I wanted to choose this place because it's important to me.

ii. [say cheese: a]

[Unless his partner insists on it, Taichi will volunteer to be the one to go through the maze. The referee did say it could happen to both of them, but... He's guessing the worst traps will happen to whoever is going through the maze, so better that it's him, right?]

It does look a little daunting... [Taichi's eyeing how the platform ahead seems to be shaking a lot, and that looks decidedly Not Fun to go through without his vision. Regardless, he tosses a small grin over his shoulder as he waits for blindfold.] But we'll do our best. I'll be counting on you, okay?

ii-b. [buwan stop]

[Regardless of however the maze goes, Taichi still decides to look around a little bit after everything's done with (though probably a little more worse for the wear than when he got here). He did read up on things a bit before he participated in the maze game - at least enough to know he should probably be wary of Buwan himself - but he wanted to see more of this place with his own eyes, and not just learn through reading about it.

It's why it catches him completely off guard when he finds out there's a fighting arena.

Any previous exhaustion is shaken off as he bounds up to a suddenly very baffled bouncer, a shine in his eyes that hadn't been there before.]


Hey, this is the arena, right? You guys have matches here, right?

[hey Taichi what happened to Buwan being sketch]

Do you have... wrestling matches here?!

[TAICHI STOP

Maybe somebody should pull him away???]


iii. [say cheese: b]

[Later on, Taichi finally relaxes a bit and explores some of the other Remooning attractions, has a chance to try out a bit of food and such. Things are going along pretty peacefully... until he hears one of the staff members calling out about their booth and its body swap features.

He can't help it; Taichi grimaces a bit as he moves closer, unsettled but still compelled to examine it closer. It has to be safe, untouched by any influence from Heartseed, but there's still that lingering doubt that sits in his mind. He knows this has to be benign, the buttons for the switch sitting there as innocent as can be, but... the memories are still stirred up regardless.

There were good things they had learned from that experience. But it doesn't outweigh how awful of a time it had been, the stress and the worry, and presently Taichi finds himself waving a hand apologetically.]


Sorry, but... I think I might have to pass on this one.

» arrival and amphoria pods.

[ While it may come off like a paradise to some, it just seemed like a wannabe Wakanda. There was too much on her mind right now to revel in the new technology. She'd been a little rowdy during the examination, not wanting to be touched by strangers - even if it was in a medical facility. It wasn't her medical facility and this wasn't home. Rolling her shoulders as she walks around, she doesn't go to the hub they've apparently set aside for her just yet - instead doing her best to get a feel for this place. On the upside, she at least knew she wasn't dead because the afterlife looked nothing like this.

Eventually, after using the tablet given to her to reach out to any familiar names to gather more information, she finds the Amphoria Pods. Standing in front of them for a long while, she seems to be having an internal debate about using them. Technology could do a lot - the potential was endless, but being able to relive a past memory in a VR setting with people she didn't know? Or even just returning home digitally for a moment, it was a dangerous game to play with one's feelings - especially when she didn't know where that information was going to be stored. She knew she would be blessed with the gift of being able to see her father again one day, when her time comes and she's ready to pass onto the next phase of her life.

So, she just stands - staring at the pods with a look of disapproval. Which would look more intimidating if she wasn't a 16 year old with her braids up in pigtails. Looks aren't everything. ]


» say cheese.

[ Being pulled into the festivities wasn't that hard to do right now since Shuri didn't have a lab of her own to work out of yet. Hard to avoid the goings on when she didn't have an escape. It was okay, though. She'd seen weirder things on youtube. Items in hand, she takes a quick mental inventory and tucks the unlit sparklers into her bag before just staring blankly at the mooncake. Turning to the person nearest to her, she holds it out - her accent lilting lightly over her words. ]

Do you want my cake?

[ Shuri watches the Lucky Tail games with an amused glint in her eyes. It's not that she was thinking about ways to cheat, but rather how to improve the chances of the one who's blinded. Even a blind mouse has a chance to win. She's about 90% sure she could do it - either aspect of it. She talked people through directions before with much higher stakes than saying they pinned the tail on the holographic rat. If asked, she might be inclined to give it a go.

At some point during the festivities before fireworks, she might be overheard giving one of the poor Prismals a hard time. Forever suspicious, her brows narrow as she levels a gaze at them - not answering the question about her age. ]


What kind of a kick? Are you planning on drugging me?

[ She's going to say no eventually considering she's 16, but it's always good to ask. ]

» wildcard.

[ Hit me up with whatever - feel free to find her in a coffee shop or exploring. Or if she can find a lab to work out of, she wouldn't be mad about it. ]

Hard To Get - A: Reasonably Priced Accomodations

Dale cooperated quite affably with all the tests, and has been shown to his living quaters. He doesn't have much to do there at the moment, though, so he onlynstays long enough to give it all a cursory glance before going out to explore. The last meal he remembers having was at the Great Northern before the beauty pageant, and that was hours ago. He's starting to feel a bit peckish.

Without hesitation or reserve, once he's out in the street, he approaches the closest person and taps them politely on the shoulder.

"Excuse me? Hello. Sorry to trouble you, but I just arrived, and I'm looking for a good, reasonably priced dining establishment. Preferably one with excellent coffee."

God Save Us - B - Happy To Help

The LmaO atmosphere is not quite Cooper's speed, and the tea party is a bit too twee, but he won't pass up an opportunity to get to know Prismatica better. He's volunteered to wait tables: it seemed a perfect way to overhear the maximum amount of information while having the minimum opportunity for social faux pas in a new community. Also, the uniforms aren't so bad.

He sidles up to your table with a perfect, natural smile that might make you feel like you've known each other for years. It could be the tea, or maybe he's just that charming.

"Can I get you anything?"

Say Cheese - A - There's Always Music In The Air

He's been eyeing the maze for a while now, and if Dale Cooper is anything, it's trusting.

"This looks like fun," he says, grabbing a blindfold. "I haven't done anything to hone my senses in a while. Would you mind helping me through? We could take turns if you like."

( there and back again - a )

[ this distinctly feels like something she's gone through before, actually.

whisked away and waking up in a mysterious location, then provided accommodations and apologies? yes, that's an experience she's had in the last year alone. at the very least, the situation here seems stable, compared to norvrandt.

she still didn't like it. she'd already yelled at the scientists, the moon knights who showed up, and tried a variety of return spells to see if she could make it off the station. all had ended in failure (and maybe a variety of tears).

it was difficult enough the first time, and there was no alphinaud here either. like the last time, there was no warrior of light. so she had to ask herself what they would do, and the answer was that sayuri would start figuring out what was going on by talking to others.

considering she didn't feel like talking to people yet, she settled on apartment browsing. she couldn't very well sleep on the street.

so catch her going from building to building, or checking out one of the styles that's caught her attention - a japanese-style setup that reminds her of kugane. she presses a button and watches a bed turn into a couch. ]


Fascinating. And not a glamour.

( god save the queen - b )

[ listen, free tea and cookies? alisaie couldn't get there fast enough, uncaring of the odd games or music that reminded her of eulmore. the fact that the tea makes her more alert is just a bonus.

so, hopped up on tea and with a little plateful of cookies, she makes her way through the groves. she's not exactly one to commune with nature, but she can appreciate the landscape and finds it far more familiar than anything else in this place.

if you find her, she's hopped up enough to engage in conversation. ]


Have you tried the tea? It's absolutely divine. I feel like I could drink ten more cups.

[ for the love of hydaelyn don't let her. ]

( say cheese )

[ for want of money, alisaie will play this rat-maze tail game. but expect it to go poorly.

if she's guiding you, expect her frustration to build very quickly. she's good at directions, but frustrated if you get mixed up. ]


Left. Go left. Left! Not into the - oh stars now you've done it.

[ ooor if she's the one blindfolded, she's a little calmer - but she's also likely to get quite flustered and stop up if she gets into a tight spot. ]

Kindly tell me which way will not end up with me getting a faceful of phalluses.

[ she's also available as a random glamour, but has little interest in utilizing it herself. ]

( hungry like the... aldgoat. )

[ alisaie, of course, falls under the sanguis moonblessing. she loses her elezen ears in favor of a pair of white wolf ears that sit atop her head, and a long white tail that wags or perks up when she scents something interesting, topped with sharp canines that rest in front of her bottom lip. ]

THERE AND BACK AGAIN [A]

Joseph...has never seen anything like this. His hosts were kind enough to explain how the mechanisms of the room work, but...well, theory and practice are two very different things. Joseph isn't squeamish about trial and error--neither artists nor researchers can be--but he has, for all the world, the look of an unnerved cat as he presses the buttons, watching the transformation in the furniture through furrowed brows.

"Ah...no, blast...oh--? Perhaps...tch, ah, merde..."

Perhaps if he presses harder the settee will come out...? Unless those nails happen to break the panel first...


GOD SAVE US FROM THE QUEEN [B]

He does so love tea parties, so he couldn't deny the invitation--though there's a haughtiness around him, as he takes the sip from his cup ( little finger primly extended, saucer held perfectly straight in his other hand) that might seem unwelcoming to others. Unfortunately (for Joseph, or perhaps for whoever is looking for a seat), there is a chair open at the table he's sitting at. Are you perhaps looking for a place to settle?


SAY CHEESE

Joseph had been drawn by fireworks, wanting to get a closer look at the light and color painting the sky; he hadn't expected that greeting, and he eyes the pastries and sparkles with both interest and apprehension. At the offer of a drink, however, he perks up--though it doesn't look like any proper champagne he's had before. A 'kick', hm?
He's not quite sure about it once it's given to him, the colors that are so attractive in the sky seeming a little frightening in the glass...and yet, inviting, too.

He takes that invitation, drinking it down, feeling the warmth running through him surprisingly quickly. The mooncake follows, suddenly inviting in its sweetness, and he tears the sparkler pack open next, pulling one out, lighting it off one of the candles nearby--and then jumping with a shriek as it goes off (straight into the person behind him).

THERE & BACK AGAIN
A. [ While Alphinaud won't be a stranger to intergalactic travel later in his adventures, he cannot help but look utterly dismayed as he wanders throughout Lunatia. Never in his life has he seen anything like this city before. The bright neon lights are almost blinding and the bizarrely dressed citizens of this realm confuse him. This isn't the first time this young elezen has strayed far from home and it certainly won't be the last. Still, nothing could have prepared Alphinaud for the wonders that await him.

A faint sigh of relief escapes Alphinaud once he reaches the safety of his newly procured living quarters. It's rather spacious despite just being a room. The volunteers over at the Government Center were kind enough to offer such arrangements to all newly arrived Moonblessed in hopes of making the transition a bit easier on their guests. While Alphinaud is grateful for it, he's also a little suspicious about it. After all, he learned long ago that no one does anything out of the goodness of their hearts.

Except for one man and he's not among the Moonblessed here.

Nevertheless, Alphinaud cannot hide his glee as he toys with the tablet upon the wall. He summons first what seems to be this audacious rainbow themed sofa before suddenly muting the color and summoning forth a similar cream colored sofa to complement the stark white walls. He keeps at it for a while, adding new pieces of furniture that suit his fancy. It shouldn't come as any surprise that Alphinaud prefers the finer things in life but he certainly didn't expect to turn around and suddenly see his new roommate standing right behind him. ]


Oh! [ He jumps back a little in fright. ] I-It seems I left the door open---

[ Of course, it hasn't dawned him yet that he must share this room with another. Why would it? Alphinaud hasn't shared a room with anyone for a while now. ]


B. [ Alphinaud didn't mean to spend this much time here at the amphoria pods but once he caught wind of this wondrous technology, he couldn't curb his interest. Within a matter of seconds, Alphinaud is suddenly thrust right middle of a perfect virtual recreation of fair Limsa Lominsa in all of its tranquil glory. He stands there completely still with his eyes blown wide in both shock and awe. It's been a while since he last traversed these lands. All that business regarding Nidhogg and his brood almost feels like another lifetime in comparison to the adventures he had here. Still, he can almost smell the familiar scent of sea-salt in the air as he walks aimlessly through the pristine white streets.

It's a wonder how such technology could perfectly replicate his memories so well but Alphinaud doesn't dare ponder it. This is something only the Allagans would be able to produce. He doubts that even the Garleans would be able to come close to the technology here in Prismatica.

It's practically magic after all. ]


Hello?

[ He calls out into the seemingly desolate streets. Even though none of it is real, it certainly feels real enough to him. ]

Is anyone else here?


GOD SAVE US FROM THE QUEEN
B. [ Despite typically being fond of lavish banquets and fantastical parties, Alphinaud seems a little uneasy. While the food and drink are decent enough at the music seems tolerable, Alphinaud can't help but keep alert. The last time he was in such a wondrous banquet with a particular royal within arm's length, all hell broke loose. Queen Elara is sufficiently protected by the Moon Knights during her birthday bash but Alphinaud simply can't relax.

Then again, it might have something to do with the lilac concoction he's sipping that is causing his discomfort. Alphinaud is already anxious enough without but thankfully there's an unhealthy amount of cookies nearby to help curb the edge somewhat. Still, Alphinaud cannot help but look out of place here especially since he knows nothing about this popular LmaO game. ]


This is all a bit much, don't you agree?

[ He grumbles under his breath before snatching another cookie. The boy always had a bit of sweet-tooth. ]

This seems more festive than the Starlight Festival...


SAY CHEESE
A. To the left!

[ The boy yells once his unfortunate teammate almost takes a nasty spill off the ledge. ]

Slowly now! Come towards the left slowly---My left! Not your left!

[ Trying to guide someone is difficult enough without a blindfold. Alphinaud cannot help but sigh once he feels the frustration build. while the youth can conduct elaborate tactical maneuvers, he's having difficulties trying to guide his teammate through this silly maze. ]

1.

[The whole ordeal, Wylan goes through in a daze. Well, panic, first and foremost. Panic, and then a daze. Nothing makes sense, but he knows better than to try and resist being manhandled, at this point. He's already covered in a various assortment of bruises courtesy of the last thing he remembers back home, so it isn't exactly in his best interest to try anything risky. Well, not without an assortment of raw chemicals at his disposal. Before he knows it, he's through processing and he's worried his way through the flight to Lunatia.

He has directions to where he's theoretically supposed to be living, the only problem being...when he looks at the different signs that should be helping him forward, all the words get muddled. Wylan's left blinking painfully through his bruised eye sockets, rubbing his split lip with a thumb. Couldn't they have just given him a certain number of crossroads and different turns? It's going to take him ages to map this place out.

Resigned, still half-thinking that this is some kind of elaborate purgatory and he's absolutely dead, Wylan flags down someone nearby.]


Excuse me? Do you know how to get to the, uh...the designated housing on this level? For new arrivals? I'm pretty lost.

2.

[It feels like out of any possible time for him to have been spirited away to another world, this is the worst. Aside from the technology level here being basically insane, it's so loud and...colorful...and crowded. Wylan sort of feels caught up in it but desperate to escape at the same time. Eventually, it's an incredible escape to arrive at the Greatmoon Groves and find a bit of peace.

Peace and an amazing amount of free tea and cookies.

Before long, he's sitting on his own with far too many cups of the stuff and writing frantic equations on pilfered napkins, muttering to himself and looking like an absolute menace. This tea is the absolute best--he's never felt so awake before! He could build so many explosives with this kind of energy! It probably won't be long before one of the bots comes to harass him for his littering.]

I'm really not...not that interested.

[Unfortunately, Wylan's protests go unheard. All at once he's had a blindfold slapped on him and he's already stumbling before he's even been spun around and thrown forward onto a platform. You have been stuck with this absolute mess of a teenager and I'm sorry. It'll take more than just a prayer to get through this, and Wylan absolutely seems to be praying.]

Okay, uh, whoever's there, just, just be thorough.

Loki casually strolled around, taking in the sights and just generally acting like he belonged. Well, he did now, didn't he? At least that's the impression he got from his little check up. It had taken some detailed explaining for the little Godling to accept it, but hey. Here he was.

He had to say, the sights were gorgeous! There was a lot to see and a lot to experience. He felt familiar hints here and there. It was interesting. New. Fascinating.

Loki slid up beside someone, not really paying much attention who's personal space he'd just invaded.]


So, is there a tour guide I can hire or does a guy have to show himself around? Seems rather lonely, don't you agree?
