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.

▶ Welcome to the Jungle
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.

▶ Let’s Do the Time Warp Now
Lunatia | top

Time is relative, but the days do seem shorter — or longer — than usual. A minute passes like an hour. An hour passes like a minute. Everything appears to be moving along as normal, but the numbers and hands on clocks flicker and spin with an unusual and worrying slowness or quickness. Eventually you notice that the darkness of the night barely lasts long enough for you to fall asleep while the sun seems to glare down upon you for an eternity. The temporal shifts disorient your body, which now grows lethargic from being overworked and underslept. Soon, the temporal abnormalities reach a critical point…

 B  Due to the temporal distortions, Prismals and Moonblessed new and old feel their bodies sporadically transform in the strangest of ways. Your joints ache like they’ve carried a lifetime’s weight of misfortune and regret. Your voice turns high-pitched like a certain pair has yet to drop. You turn into a confused infant in one moment and the seasoned fighter you always wanted to be in the next. Your memories also shuffle around along with your apparent age, leaving you confused and unsettled. The transformations can occur and last for as long as the 11th, when everything turns back to normal without incident. That time your baby self peed in your pants? Never happened. Until then, moonlacing seems to stabilize the weird abnormalities.

▶ Starlight, Star Bright, First Star I See Tonight
Lunatia | top

The city’s landscape is not spared by the erratic flow of time. Buildings and streets continuously flicker between the beautiful and vibrant paradise it has become to the ruins of glory days long past. Your eyes may struggle to adjust as you try and convince yourself of what is real and what is not. High rise towers one moment will become wreckage the next, filled with technological debris and the echoing cries of the terrified, and the mighty wingspan of an unknown creature continues to hovers in the distance. The illusion will only last but a minute before you’re back in the present, going about your daily business. However, your trip from the future and back is far from over.

Soon, breaking news reports will inform the city about the sudden vanishing of certain celestial bodies in the sky. Though the moons remain where they should, the nights grow longer and darker as the stars in the sky start disappearing one by one until only the sun remains, eclipsed by some mysterious force. Lunar Scientia has already sent capable teams to investigate the abnormalities, so they ask the public to be patient as they wait for the reports. Until then, they have issued safety guidelines and measures to effectively light the city. The Caelus Tower appears to burn brighter than ever.

 C  For these dark hours, Lunar Scientia releases their latest Chroma-powered technology for Moonblessed use: star lanterns. When a star lantern is held by two Moonblessed, it absorbs newly generated Chroma from them, enabling it to light up the missing stars in the sky as you travel from place to place. The light’s color and intensity will depend on you and your partner’s bond, the spectrum ranging from a violet of hatred to a red full of love. Indifference, however, will not light the lantern at all. It also comes with a float function so that it can be released into the atmosphere without needing to carry it everywhere. Since the technology is limited in stock, Moonblessed may only have one star lantern in their possession.

One of the issued guidelines is to never walk through dark alleys alone even with the lanterns, as the crime rate has increased lately due to those taking advantage of the chaos. This is especially rampant in Level 3, at the mouth of the Lightless.

▶ Oh, They Just Can’t Wait to be King
Outside Lunatia, Port Sylvel | top

On the ides of the third month, an emergency broadcast appears from Captain Natela:

Captain Natela

Greetings, Prismals and Moonblessed.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that Port Sylvel has been completely crystallized. The Moon Knights are currently recruiting willing explorers and scientists to investigate the cause. Investigations are still pending, but the outlook is grim. The only survivors were among the few we carried out of the city last month. The rest perished from the crystallization.

Our heart goes out to those affected by this plight. There is no cause for panic. There is no sign that the crystallization is spreading beyond Port Sylvel. We Moon Knights stand with the people of Prismatica, as we have done for centuries. We are not mere defenders of a city but protectors of a planet. We endeavor to find the cause of this tragedy and bring peace and justice to the lives it claimed. Until then, we ask for your cooperation. Stay calm and press onward.

Those who volunteer to participate in the expedition will be rewarded for their efforts. They will be assisted by experts from the Lunar Scientia as well as the bear Prismal and Moon Knight Fahrouk, who looks worse for wear after hearing the news.

Officer Fahrouk

Oh, Moonblessed. It's you. Yeah, Hala is doing good. Won the spelling bee! I think she might make the nationals. ... I… I don't think I ever told you. Port Sylvel was our hometown. My wife is buried there. We’d go there every spring. Hala loved picking the flowers there. Did you know that different flowers grow in Port Sylvel compared to Lunatia? Haaaah...

Moonblessed! I know you think I'm not cool enough to hang out with you, and all I do is ask for your help, but please let me go with you! Please… This is something I have to do as a soldier, a husband, and a father.

… What? You always thought I was cool?

Finding strength and resolve after the participants tell him he's supposed to assist them on their mission anyway, Fahrouk distributes LIFE suits to the participants as he briefs them on what they're about to do. He and the participating Moonblessed will then be transported via a large transport vessel.

Port Sylvel is hardly recognizable. What was once an idyllic coastal town is now a site of tragic beauty — crystal formations encase buildings and Prismals like jagged glass coffins, as if preserving life in its final moments. Readings from life detectors tell you that everyone in the crystal has passed on, but you and your fellow Moonblessed think you can still hear their cries of distress carried along by the wind, warning you about the Prideful King.

 D  Gigantic crystal lions flank the passage of the port city, their wings spread open and blue flames pouring forth from their mouths. You hear rumbling guttural noises, and if you approach them, their roars will escalate to warn you about proceeding any further. Beware: a single bite from these lions can easily tear through the LIFE suit and cause your body to crystallize quickly unless someone rushes in to moonlace with you to halt the effect. These lions are unlike the beasts you’ve fought before: their otherworldly strength is overwhelming, and nothing seems to wear them down. Destroying them seems pointless, as they quickly regenerate the minute they are obliterated.

Eventually, transmissions from the LIFE suits announce an order for escape. Buildings collapse and shatter in your wake, and the ground quakes violently as something awakens in the far distance...

[prettiestsnake]

Yanyou yawns as he is disturbed. Lifting his head, he smiles up at the handsome stranger above him.

Yanyou is not drunk, being not yet able to afford alcohol in this world, but he is very warm and contented from his nap. "Warm," he points out, indicating the lamp over his shoulder. But he's very willing to be persuaded, especially at the mention of a partner or several.

Yawning wide as he deigns to wake up, he hops to his feet and slides his arms around the soldier's shoulders. "How handsome you look in your uniform! Very appealing. Tell me about these establishments. Are you paying? I haven't yet got any money."

He is such a very tragic penniless snake! So cold, so lonely. Please dispense immediate cuddles.

[shiliu]

He looks over his shoulder. Yes that lamp is indeed very warm, and he's a person that's always cold. He even stretches out a hand to pick up the pricetag and glance at it. Fifty chroma. Not exactly cheap, but not very expensive either. Thus when the formerly-sleeping gentleman reaches for him, he returns the embrace, even turning and pressing a kiss against against the man's cheek.

Dispensing emergency moonlacing is absolutely one of his duties, after all.

"No money? Look again. You've enough to buy that lamp, now."

The way he says it, the clear implication is that it isn't a suggestion or a request, but a clear command to stop wasting this poor shopkeeper's time.

[prettiestsnake]

Yanyou brightens happily when he gets held in return and a kiss to his cheek! How sweet!

When he checks his chroma again, he does indeed have the required funds. Thrilled, he kisses the knight's cheek in return and then quickly picks up the lamp, arranging to purchase it from the bewildered shopkeeper. The time he spent under the lamp has energized him, and he's extremely bouncy now.

Vanishing the lamp into his sleeve to be used later, Yanyou hugs his arms back around the moonknight's neck, full of gratitude over having all his problems solved. "My hero! You really did come to my rescue. How can I possibly repay you?"

Given how they're starting with hugs and kisses, he's really hoping that repayment will involve blowjobs.

[shiliu]

It's the shopkeeper's lucky day indeed, because he too motions to her that he'd like one also. After he sends her his address for delivery, he glances up just in time to see the man vanish his purchase into his sleeve. His expression twitches, even as the other draws him into an embrace again. Moonlacing affects him deeply: a light embrace makes him desire a deeper one, and a kiss on the cheek only makes him want a kiss on the lips.

Involuntarily, his cold skin grows warmer.

"Um... you should be more careful of using your powers. They can rapidly consume chroma." He pauses, absentmindedly sliding his arms about the man's waist. "You are... you're one of those mountain sect people?"

Mountain sect people being his term for cultivators. This is because "soul cultivation" is a bit of a joke where he's from, basically only practiced by old people afraid of dying.

[prettiestsnake]

"Do they?" Yanyou draws one of his hands back to look at it, turning it over as if its use of magic and the chroma drain will be explained to him. It was explained to him, of course, but it failed to actually sink in to Yanyou that the powers he'd taken for granted his entire life might have costs and limits in a place like this. He's very low in terms of power among immortals, but he still is an immortal, so he'd never for a moment consider little tricks like vanishing things into his sleeve to be a use of power. Adjustments to be made.

Mountain sect people. What an interesting phrase. No, he's pretty sure he's not anything mountains or sects. Honestly even 'people' is a stretch for him. "Am I?" What a helpful question-answering snake you have in your arms right now. "What are mountain sect people like?"

[shiliu]

"Hm, they fly on swords and the like. Unless they're afraid of heights, in which case they walk. Some of them are quite cold in personality, or pretend to be. Some are irascible, some cowardly, some rather painfully naive."

As Gu Yun speaks, his hand drifts down, and comes very close to mindlessly caressing the man's ass. He suspects the shopkeeper at this point is feeling pretty forgiving, having sold two lamps, but there are limits to anyone's patience. Abruptly, he steps out of the embrace, instead patting the man on the shoulder (and thus indirectly trying to steer him out of the shop).

"They identify themselves more with a particular teacher or sect, rather than a country. The main thing they have in common, so I understand, is a 'golden core' or 'spirit core.'"

[prettiestsnake]

None of this sounds familiar to Yanyou. Flying on swords? What a strange thing to do! Also what kind of fragile person was afraid of heights?? Aside from humans, of course, but humans were afraid of everything. And while it was true that Yanyou didn't much like heights (why would anyone choose heights when instead they could choose nice warm dirt and cool rivers??), he had been a god in the heavens. Heights were a fact of life in the heavenly realm.

The lovely ass patting suddenly draws away! Upset, Yanyou follows along with him immediately, whining softly as they move outside and trying to find the earliest opportunity to cuddle back into those arms.

"Never heard of it." Yanyou shrugs, dismissing all that. Must be some regional human thing, or even a regional realm thing. The world is large and the realms are larger! There are many places and practices, more than even Yanyou can explore in his thousands of years.

[shiliu]

How spoiled this fellow is! Well, it's not as if he doesn't have any experience with people acting spoiled, very inventive, persistent people who are always dreaming up new ways to beg for his attention and affection. Thus he smiles indulgently, as he twists his body slightly, draping an arm about the man's shoulder, so that they're walking side by side in a friendly manner rather than wantonly embracing in the street.

"No?" He's a little surprised. Most people from the central plains (or something like it) know about soul cultivators, either as a legend or reality. Which... he'd made an assumption based on the man's appearance, but perhaps he's not from there at all. "In that case, please tell me about yourself. I'm always curious to know more about the people who embrace me."

[prettiestsnake]

Yanyou does in fact know about cultivators, but thinks they're still talking about mountain sect people, whatever those are, and assumes that whatever the mountain sect people call 'golden cores' are something different from the normal ones. He'd definitely notice if people were flying around on swords.

"Me?" Yanyou drapes an arm around his new friend's waist. Not as nice as hands on his ass, but Yanyou is satisfied with this. Being held as they walk is an even nicer warmth than the sun lamp!

"Oh, I'm just a traveling musician." Technically, he does do a lot of traveling and plays the xiao. "I only want to have pleasant experiences and to meet interesting people. And now here you are!"

sorry for the delay!

[shiliu]

Gu Yun grins. As shameless as the man's flattery is, he's even more shameless in accepting it.

"Mm, how true," he teases. "Such a man as I, graced with heavenly beauty, you can count it as a great fortune that you were able to meet me."

His eyes naturally turn up at the sides, giving him a playful, laughing look as he glances over at his companion. He squeezes the man's shoulders, pulling him in closer. "Hm! I'm a 'traveling musician' too, perhaps this is fate."

[prettiestsnake]

"Oh, I do count it as a great fortune!" Yanyou confirms, very much enjoying these squeezes and playful looks, He nuzzles at his friend, draping himself over Gu Yun to a degree that only just allows them to keep walking. "One does not meet someone so beautiful just every day! If fate has brought us together, then we can only embrace it. And each other."

His hand will just go ahead and wander to Gu Yun's ass at this time, giving it an appreciative caress. "I am Yanyou."

1/2

[shiliu]

"Pfff!"

It's rare for Gu Yun to meet someone as shameless as he is. His amusement bubbles together with the warm sensation of moonlacing, enough to make him think that embracing this stranger would be an excellent use of his time. While drinking on the job (or otherwise ingesting one of Lunatia's many many recreational substances) is forbidden for Moon Knights, moonlacing on the job is perfectly acceptable, within reason.

So when he feels that hand travel down to his backside, he doesn't resist, only answering, "I'm Gu Yun, called Sir Zi —"

[shiliu]

"—hahahahahahaha!"

Gu Yun's body is sensitive; his waist and backside extremely so, and ticklish. Add to that a nice, intense burst of moonlacing from the intimacy of the touch, and he can hardly stand it, reaching back to grab the man's wrist and move his hand away. Despite this show of resistance, his skin is flushed and his eyes are bright. He wants to wrestle free; he also wants to push the man down right there in the middle of the street.

[prettiestsnake]

"Gu Yun," Yanyou says, not minding at all how his wrist is captured. He's very charmed by this knight, who seems very amenable to Yanyou's touches. Yanyou might have to explore more of that tickling, since it creates such delightful results.

He offers his other wrist, in case Gu Yun would like to lay claim to them both. That sounds fun!

"Where are you taking me?" He very much hopes it's somewhere with a nice warm bed. Somewhere they can kiss at their leisure.

[shiliu]

[ He finds himself holding the man's wrist and being asked a very pertinent question: where is he taking Yanyou? His mind ticks through a number of possibilities. There are any number of love hotels nearby; however after his first experience in one such establishment, he learned very quickly not to pick one at random. ]

Um...

[ And then he recalls a pleasant place that he actually toured once (it offers discounts to Moon Knights). A little expensive, but he'll surely make that up in chroma. ]

This way.

[ A few steps bring them to the nearest Prismanode. A quick whoosh and it deposits them within the Greatmoon Groves, near an unassuming, yet quietly elegant wooden structure. This is Ukabu-ie, a hotel surrounded by lush gardens with cherry trees, and a small koi pond. ]

[prettiestsnake]

[What a charming place! It soothes Yanyou that it seems relatively like something he recognizes, compared to the rest of this adventure. As much as Yanyou likes new experiences and adventures, he does also love familiarity and comfort.

It's also nice that his new friend isn't taking him to any kind of holding cell. Yanyou would understand if that was a necessity. It wouldn't be the first time.]

Ah! How lovely. What a pretty place. Is this your home?

whoops reverted to brackets there!

[shiliu]

"On a government salary? Hahaha!" Still chuckling, he pats Yanyou on the back, and then steps inside to arrange a private bathhouse for a few hours. It's a chilly day, and the warmth of a bath would be very welcome.

The attendant (a very nice-looking gentleman with tanuki ears and ring tail) presents them with a pair of soft, fluffy robes and towels, and leads the way through a shady courtyard, to a series of little houses. He opens the door of one of them: steam billows out, scented delicately with cedar and eucalyptus. Inside is a generously sized private bath set into the floor, surrounded by wood planks. At one end of the steamy room, separated by a folding screen, is a soft double bed. On the wall are hooks for clothes.

The attendant bows and leaves, shutting the door quietly behind them. Gu Yun, without further ado, starts to undress.

[prettiestsnake]

[Yanyou got into the game, yay! So I would love to continue this thread and count it as canon. ^_^]

Cheerfully curious about everything they encounter, Yanyou is completely cooperative. He likes the hand on his wrist and the implied promise of further contact and attention.

The room is luxurious in a way that is both familiar and foreign. Yanyou draws away to poke around curiously, picking things up to look at them until he notices that his companion is undressing. That brings his attention back swiftly.

Returning to his side, Yanyou tugs loose the belt on his own robes, discarding them with a single shrug. His figure is athletic and strong, a body kept fit for the pleasure of it rather than out of the necessity of work. There are no callouses, no muscle patterns to show a particular strength or habit. He can fight, and swim, and draw a bow, but he never commits to any one activity long enough to develop a soldier's callouses or an archer's arms.

Easily naked, Yanyou immediately sets himself to helping his friend. The bath looks nice, and Gu Yun looks nicer. Yanyou is eager to enjoy both.

[shiliu]

[ excellent! ]

Gu Yun, for his part, is in no hurry. Such things are to be languorously enjoyed. His own moon knight uniform is harder to take off, as well: buttons, boots, trousers, and form-fitting long underwear, stretching tight across his body. When Yanyou comes over to help, Gu Yun's eyes sweep across his companion's body appreciatively and he smiles.

When his clothes finally come off, it's clear that he's a soldier: his body is all muscle and sinew, and covered with scars, including one that slashes diagonally across his chest, as if he'd been carved up into two pieces and then reattached. His fingers are covered with callouses, and his skin is quite cold to the touch. Finally he pulls his hair crown free, letting his hair scatter about.

He does leave his wrist device on, however, as well as a bracelet of wooden beads. The former is waterproof, and it's necessary in case there's an emergency and he has to leave quickly, alas. As for the latter... well, he has his own reasons.

"Shall we?" he asks with a smile, sitting down at the water's edge. He dangles his legs for a moment, testing the water temperature; and then he slides in, up to his neck. There's a platform to sit on, making this bath a very comfortable place to relax.

[prettiestsnake]

As soon as they're both naked, Yanyou climbs into the water with an eagerness that suggests he's only barely repressing the urge to cannonball into the bath. Water is his natural element, and he can certainly show off if it comes to that, but he tries not to show off his higher-level powers if he can avoid it. He's traveled among humans for millennia and he finds it draws less attention if he pretends to be an ordinary human or a skilled cultivator. Nothing more.

Though he does like showing off.

Sliding into Gu Yun's lap, Yanyou straddles him without shame. Cupping a hand on either side of his jaw, he tilts his lover's head up and claims a kiss. Confident and playful, he slides his tongue out almost immediately, licking across Gu Yun's lips to request access.

[shiliu]

Gu Yun likes to do things step by step: when the moon rises in the sky and the clouds drift by, with spring breezes fragrant with night flowers, everything is in its proper time and place. Chatting amiably in the tub, sharing a massage, entwining their hands and then their bodies, slowly and deliberately enjoying each exquisite course of this grand banquet, this is how he'd planned to spend the afternoon.

Even if he were called and had to leave abruptly in the middle, won't that just whet their appetite for later?

Since arriving here, however, he's become very well acquainted with people (in particular, one person) who prefer to wolf everything down at once. Well, even though he's now used to it, that doesn't mean he won't stiffen when he's grabbed like that, or set his jaw in response to that eager tongue.

....and then the moonlacing sets in, setting fire to his senses. His lips relax, and he melts into the kiss, lifting his arms to embrace the man and pull him close.

Some time later, when he comes up for air, his mind is mostly scrambled, as moonlacing affects him deeply. Still, with someone new to this place, he feels compelled to gasp, "Moonlacing... it's powerful. Makes you do things you might not otherwise." At that moment, Yanyou's neck seems utterly irresistible, so he tilts his head to kiss it while also murmuring, "Consider if this is something you'd do, without this... sensation."

[prettiestsnake]

Yanyou notices the tension, and he's about to stop when suddenly Gu Yun pulls him close and returns the kiss. Happy to be kissing a beautiful man, Yanyou kisses him deeply, slow and languid but also completely shameless.

When the kiss breaks, he grins, nuzzling gently at his partner as Gu Yun kisses his neck. But the words concern him a little and he blinks, studying Gu Yun more carefully. "Kiss a beautiful man in a bath? Yes. Absolutely. Eagerly." The moonlacing is very nice, but it does nothing to increase Yanyou's eagerness. He has plenty of that all on his own. "Would you... not? Did I pressure you?"

Yanyou's aware that he's shameless and demanding, constantly pushing the boundaries of what he's allowed, but the comfort of his partners matters deeply to him.

[shiliu]

He chuckles gently, reaching up to touch Yanyou's cheek with his dripping wet hand. Typically his fingers are as cold as iron, but now they've been warmed by the water, and even steam faintly in the air.

"Back home I am running about from dawn to night, no time to kiss people, must sleep in my armor, truly impossible to laze in a bath. Here, in a place like this, naturally I will play."

He retracts his hand, reaching down to massage the man's waist. Yanyou's eagerness and frankness are a good sign, he thinks. Gu Yun recalls his first experience in Lunatia with some degree of regret: under the influence of moonlacing, his partner had been quick to embrace him physically, but in the end the man had a too-sentimental heart, longing for an emotional connection that was, in the end, impossible. From what little he can glean of the man, Yanyou doesn't seem that type. Still, to make sure, Gu Yun adds, "Whatever sweet things you wish to hear, I will say them."

Sweet nothings, fleeting like an afternoon.

[prettiestsnake]

Yanyou certainly isn't that type. He dreads emotional connection and severs it whenever he can. He wants nothing serious in his life, only pleasure and freedom. An afternoon like this is ideal. A new acquaintance, a new experience, shared pleasure.

"I don't need to hear sweet things. Fun is better. Tell me what crosses your mind, or what whims you have, or how very, very handsome you find me."

Yanyou leans forward to tug at Gu Yun's earlobe, tongue flicking wickedly across the skin. He kisses down from there, nipping lightly at his shoulder. "Whatever wicked things you wish to do with me or to me, I welcome them."

1/2

[shiliu]

That's more like it. After that particular gentleman went public on the network with his regrets, Gu Yun has been more careful to sound out prospective partners in this way.

"Ha...haha!" He's speechless for a moment, under the attentions of that cunning tongue, lips parting and his chuckles coming in short gasps. But after a moment, he masters himself, murmuring breathlessly, "Mm, such a peerless beauty..." Sliding his hands from the man's waist to his ass, gently massaging, he adds, "I'd compare you to the moon, but silverly beams of moonlight are cold and cannot be clasped to the heart..."
