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.

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.

Oh no it all went wrong.
[Aqua fumbles with the flute, desperately playing anything and everything to make the tentacled fiends to stop with no avail]
C'mon work! Work! Work you stupid piece of sh-
[Suddenly in a rare stroke of luck for her, Aqua raises her free hand and casts a shield protecting her for the moment, causing the mass of unsavory materiel to bounce off to the sky.]
Heh...heheh! HA! It's gonna take more than that to....get the better of....me....
[Unfortunately that luck is short lived as the wad of gunk comes back down and splashes her, and the mass of octopods begin to make unsavory grunting noises mixed with moaning as it begins to barrel towards them at a frightening speed, causing Aqua to scream in pure terror and bolt in the other direction, again trying to play whatever note she can while trying to keep her breath]
WORK! WORK! WHY WON'T YOU WORK!?!
pikachuface.jpeg
Stop-! [ Mixed signals aside (thanks, Cloud,) Aqua is initially taken by surprise when she suddenly raises her hand to cast a shield. First she has some skill playing the flute (before it all went to hell dakfjh), and now he finds out she's a mage of sorts? In that single instance, as the inky projectile is launched off into the sky, he's impressed by her yet again. Guess he couldn't judge a book by its cover, could he?
Aaand then she practically jinxed herself. The look on his face just...drops when she gets covered in the sticky, white substance. He'd
bullychastise Aqua for saying thats what she gets for being cocky, if they weren't currently in the midst of getting overrun by masses of tentacles. This is getting stupid. And out of hand. And he's only got himself to blame. Oh well! Cloud's learning the hard way. And he doesn't want to get gunked up by them either, so he's following behind Aqua as she toots with all her terrified might. ]Stop blowing on the damn thing! You're only making them- [ hornier ] -angrier!
[ Cloud catches up to her with ease, scowling all the way as he reaches out to try and pop the flute right out of her mouth when she tries to play another note. All while the octopod grunt, moan, and continue excreting gooey white stuff, firing it at them while they run. SERIOUSLY! Just stop! Or throw the damn thing! She blew their chances! Literally! ]
[ こ の
す ば ]
no subject
[She looks down at the flute and tosses it backwards hoping to at least slow mass of horny tentacles down (it did not), and attempts to run faster she than could before...
Only for the side effects of the horrible goop to take effect at the worst possible time, as she trips and spits out some nasty liquid that wormed its way to her body, she desperately tries to get back to her feet as the mass approaches ever closer
NONONONONONO GET AWAY GET AWAY GET AWAY GET AWAY!!!!!
this is so bad i'm crying 😂
My fault? The hell did I do?!
[ When Aqua yeets the flute into the crowd of tentacles, he spares only a single glance back, realizing that. Nope. That did jack shit. All they have to do is get off the beach and towards the mainland (it's not as cold here as it is in other parts of Lunatia this time of year), and chances were the octopus would leave them alone. ...he thinks. They gotta stay near their mating grounds, after all. ]
Just keep running! They won't give chas-
[ Oh. Did she just? Oh. She tripped and fell. And now she's got a bad case of the shrill screams and spewing the nasty. Cloud comes to a skidding stop, sand kicking up as he pivots around to look at her. He'll take the time to feel sorry for her later. Right now? He's looking and practically thinking
"oh for christ sakes"
Gross gross gross gross gross gross-- Suddenly, Aqua would find herself getting effortlessly scooped up off the ground as he demonstrates a surprising burst of speed. For this singular moment, he treats this as seriously as any other matter. Aww, he's playing the role of chivalrous knight and carrying her to safety! ... .... .....
Is what could be said, if she were getting princess carried. But she wasn't. Aqua's getting hauled over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, arm hooked around her waist as she hangs backwards off him. It's a good thing his eyes are trained straight ahead. Because if he looked to his left, he'd have...well, he'd have a view alright. Right now, it's Cloud in the hot seat, having abandoned his container for catching octopi a while back. But with his speed, they're starting to lose them as the blond continues legging it off the beach, until the weird-ass grunts and moans die off in the distance. He slows down, before finally stopping, still carrying Aqua over his shoulder.
With his stamina, he's not winded, but his heart is definitely racing after that impromptu escape.
Gotta say! This ranks up there among the weirdest days on this planet. ]

(( Lemme know if that was alright or not! ))
A job well done then
Naturally she screams for the first bit before "eventually" dying down as the tentacled mass of octos faded in distance and both their image and moaning grew more distant.
Once they were both a safe distance far far away, slides off Cloud's shoulder and stares at him with teared up eyes and sniffling]
....THANK YOU FOR SAAAAAAVING MEEEEEEEEE!!!WAAAAAAHAHAAAAHAAAAAAAAA
[She hugs him despite being being covered in...you know, but stops once she felt urge to vomit
Please look away for a second
[She walks towards a nearby bush, bends over and let out a very loud
BLUGGGAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
...stupid octopuses
((It was great, this was pretty damn fun))
no subject
Hey. You okay-
[ "THANK YOU FOR SAAAAAAVING MEEEEEEEEE!!!WAAAAAAHAHAAAAHAAAAAAAAA" WHOA WHOA WHOA. Cloud's body stiffens completely, arms in the air as she hugs him. He doesn't even know her name, so he can't even call her by anything to stop or get a hold of herself. She's a grown woman, damn it! And now she's getting his clothes wet and sticky with octopus goo. Ew. Oh god. Oh god he can hear it smearing as she squishes herself against him. ]
Y-Yeah yeah okay, sure, no sweat, easy peasy! [ He'd patronizingly pat her head for "comfort" if it weren't for the white globs in her hair. ] You can let go of me now.
[ And of course, Aqua does eventually do that. Whether it's because of his request or of another urge? She's suddenly very composed. He blinks at first, staring while she walks towards a nearby bush and bends over. And proceeds to wince hard when she immediately starts hurling. Damn. If she's new to this place (he's never seen her before...), this was one hell of a rough start. He cautiously walks up to her, mindful not to look at everything she's upchucked. Er... There, there? He awkwardly, but good-intentionally, rubs her back. ]
Do I feel sorry for you.

(( I'm glad. If you decide to app with her, I wish you good luck! ))

You got that right
