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.
▶ I am the Terror That Flaps in the Night
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.
▶ Got Milk?
Level 2, Crystal Beach | top
With the Coiled Hearts Festival fast approaching, local fishermen have already begun procuring food across Crystal Beach’s clear waters to meet next month’s demands. Around this time of year, the popularity of octopus dishes dramatically rises. The Lunatians have an annual tradition to prepare flavorful octopus dishes for the romantic season, such as the much-lauded dark chocolate-coated octopus or the mouth-watering octopus braised with red wine.
Everyone is welcome to join this heart-throbbing affair. During the Second and Third months, everyone is encouraged to give your loved ones something special for a long, successful relationship. Friends, family, and new acquaintances are traditionally given a small amount of Demichroma in tiny cute cases, while lovers are given something that reminds the gifter of their homeland.
▶ Going Viral
Level 2, Moonlight Medical Center | top
“Help Wanted” posters can be found on virtual forums and announcement boards across Level 1 to 3. The Moonlight Medical Center has put out a call for volunteers due to a recent shortage of medical staff. The work involves filling in for overworked nurses, performing tasks such as feeding patients their meals, wiping away their sweat, changing their clothes, encouraging their spirits, and so on. Any volunteers may directly walk-in at the hospital. You will be provided a nurse uniform and any necessary equipment while on the job.
The shortage has resulted from the hospital recently taking in a severe number of patients from a nearby small village to the west of Lunatia, Port Sylvel, a known shipping and freight destination. The number of patients worryingly keeps on rising by the day and will soon fill all available rooms.

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 Your new flat is covered in a sprinkling of feathers here, there, and everywhere! They appear to be coming through the air vents. This seems to be a city-wide problem in all buildings, as many news outlets are informing people to stay alert. They believe the feathers are from the masked seraphim, King Majestas, who attacked the Elaran Amphitheater a few weeks back.
You are advised to destroy the feathers on sight. Prolonged contact with these feathers cause hallucinations and paranoia. You will feel as if winged creatures are always after you, be it one-winged angels or dark-winged ducks. Other side effects include hearing the chanting of voices in an indecipherable language out of this galaxy. These hallucinations may cause headaches, dizziness, or nausea. Thankfully, a bit of moonlacing will heal these symptoms away.

A Interested in catching your own octopus? Horned taurus octopi very frequently migrate to the shorelines to perform their elaborate mating rituals. It’s easy to find clumps of taurus octopi participating in a vigorous dance, filled with undulations and strange moaning noises that octopi should not be making. You can lure the octopi by either using a special flute which mimics their moans to gather them in heavy droves. It’s ideal to have a partner with you to scoop the octopi quickly into water containers once they’ve become entranced enough.
Play the flute carefully! If the taurus octopi grow too excited by your music, they will squirt white ink. If you are spritzed with the thick substance, you will start either randomly puking or uncontrollably secreting a milky sweet substance from any body part that secretes liquids. Luckily, the high-end boutique Prissy Polyp is nearby in case you need a change of clothes due to any sizable stains. Effects will naturally wear off after an hour.
B Come with a friend and enjoy learning some octopus recipes together. The Crystal Beach Resort has opened a seminar where several professional chefs will be demonstrating and teaching how to cook various dishes of different flavors and ingredients guaranteed to impress your date, and taste-testing is free!
One dish makes use of horned taurus octopi skin as the star ingredient, renowned for its irresistibly delectable scent. The chefs explain the palatable skin is a potent ingredient in various love potions and aphrodisiacs, so add or mix them to your dishes in moderation! The effects have a significant delay, so you may feel fine for a while, but when it hits, it hits hard. You will become enamored with every little thing — hey, you just met them and this is crazy — but that person’s smile, the sound of their voice, or the way they say your name will make you unable to resist the urge to shower them with your affection.

A Some of the patients are experiencing varying degrees of paralysis. The worst cases have crystallizing parts of their body. The hospital staff will stress that you should be careful around patients with crystallized limbs. Patients like these have a history of aggressively biting anyone who comes close hard enough to draw blood. Those bitten will exhibit similar symptoms as the victims, including crystallization on their bodies, and experience a steady drop in Chroma. An uncomfortable heaviness will cause you unable to move without the aid of others as well as an uncontrollable urge to aggressively bite someone.
While affected Moonblessed can cure it by moonlacing, the Prismals can only be cured by a gluteal inoculation the Lunar Scientia has recently managed to develop. The sick and beleaguered will probably hate you less if you aren’t the one trying to stabbing them with injections in the hindquarters.
B Aside from nursing duties, other available tasks to be completed include making coffee for fellow nurses and doctors, delivering flowers to patients, and general housekeeping. Specifically, disinfecting medical equipment, tidying up rooms, and cleaning the spaces around the hospital. As a result of the current situation, many crystal shards can be found decorating multiple surfaces, such as floors, walls, toilet seats, and so on. These will have to be swept away!
However, as your work day progresses, some of the shards can be seen suddenly moving on their own. These crawling shards will start clustering together to turn into elaborate, floating monolithic formations that will then begin attacking anyone nearby. Their main ability includes shooting diamond spears to impale any unfortunate victims in their line of sight. In the midst of the chaos, nurses and doctors will beg the Moonblessed to please protect the sick and wounded. The crystal formations can be destroyed by any method, though because of their incredibly sturdy composition, they require multiple hits before they shatter into dust.

[Don't ask why Yan Qing's wearing the uniform of a mover. He's actually in the middle of something shady and important right now, but! He also doesn't want Ozymandias ruining his cover! Please don't recognize him from Chaldea.]
no subject
More importantly, this man is being obedient. ]
A privilege you will only retain for as long as you are needed. After that, I may dispose of you as I see fit.
[ Though he would like to keep the more useful servants in tact, so he will retain his judgment and see how the man performs first. ]
This glowing panel before us. I am told, among its many uses, that it can reshape the inside of this room as I see fit. I require a full demonstration of your prowess. Do not hold back. Remember I am watching.
no subject
Thankfully, he is not carrying anything right now. It's all in the next few rooms over. Anyway! This can't take too long.]
Oh, yeah! You can change your room to whatever you want with that. Here, I'll show ya. [Juuuuust let him slide into the room and fiddle with it a bit. After a few taps, the room behind to change color. Grays soon become all shades of white and gold, and the walls go from metal to marble.
There's also a mummy in the middle of the room, randomly.]
You like this stuff, right? I dunno. [he says as he adds smaller cat mummies around it.
... soon, he can't even see the floor.]
no subject
Banish those unsightly corpses. If the dead rise, they rise in all their glory and splendor, surrounded by their subjects and their treasure, and not like the haunted creations of the 20th century.
[ He steps in the middle of the room before raising his cane upwards. ]
I want the sun to be exposed over my throne to bathe my form in its majestic light. And my throne must be high to force all onlookers to tip their heads upwards to behold me.
[ If need be, he can just create himself the manual way and force his upstairs neighbors to adjust. ]
no subject
[He squints really hard between Ozymandias and the high-tech panel.]
I ain't no interior designer, but I don't think any of those options are like, physically possible. But okay.
[First, he deletes the mummified cats, dragging each one to an icon of a trash can. Then, he creates a skylight, elevates the center of the room and puts a fuckin... golden baby chair on top.]
no subject
He laughs rather sharply as his fingers pass through the hologram before striking the ground loudly with his cane. ]
Take what amusement you can from this. It will not last any longer.
[ His eyes narrow as he sends a sharp blast of light from the end of his cane towards YQ, guaranteed to singe a few strands of hair if he's not fast enough. ]
I will grant you but one more chance to give me a proper throne. One I can sit on. Do not rush over yourself so quickly to praise my generosity. It must also be to my liking.
no subject
This is why I hate royalty!]
I'm trying, man! But the panel says you ain't got the demichroma. Look!
[True enough, Yan Qing did find a throne fit for a pharaoh, but its price is in red. Whatever Ozymandias has right now, it's definitely not enough to purchase the throne he wants. While Yan Qing could use his own illegally-gotten funds, he doesn't want Ozymandias to get in trouble. That would also spell death for him...]
no subject
[ He recalls the many scientists who gathered at his summoning explaining it to him while they cowered before his might. From what he understands, it is not completely different from mana, only it can also be used as a bartering tool of sorts in this world. If that is the case, it may be even more valuable than the gold he himself reveres. ]
Tell me how I can quickly amass a sizable amount of chroma. Without the one here who I so generously call Master, I have yet to find another worthy to supply me, but I will not leave my chambers half-finished.
[ The great king of construction will be mocked if he does not see his first project completed, and that is something he simply cannot allow. ]
sorry i just got to this; feel free to drop!
Ah well. Ozymandias said he'd reward him or whatever, so cooperating better be worth it. ]
Oh, that's easy, Pharaoh! [ he beams as he radiates an aura that says "please don't kill me". ] A handsomely endowed man like yourself would hardly have trouble with that. All you gotta do is touch somebody!
no subject
[ It can't be that simple. Then again, the Prismals had mentioned that they were critically low on the energy needed to make their land flourish. He's reluctant to believe it, but he is considering seeing it for himself and trying to understand the nature of this world and its many intricacies. ]
Know that I would not fall easily for your games, and for the sake of your prolonged survival, you better speak honestly when you are before me! Now, come forth! I will test it in full.
[ He holds his hand out even if he is not entirely eager to be fondled by this man. He is the nearest person to him and did help him construct the foundation of his inner-most temple. This will simply be an equal trade-off. Payment for duties rendered to the Pharaoh. ]
