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.

Oh my god, they're back again. After taking more than a year-long hiatus, *BTSB (Backstay Sailor Boys) takes the planet by storm once more with their latest single, Anybody (Yeah). With an album out and a concert on the way, the five-man fox Prismal group from Amegahara has been busy with promotions. Their appearances on billboard ads, magazines, TV shows, et cetera make their worldwide handsome faces pretty hard to miss! Everyone and their pet robot in Lunatia can be found jamming to their songs, and every teenager on the street can tell you who their bias is and why.

Before you meet these foxy boys, you'll want to do your research on them. Thankfully, their ridiculously huge fanbase (who refer to themselves as NAVY) has already done the work for you.
Suzaku is the leader and the brains of the group. Both his witty, rapid-fire raps and lightning-fast spinning breakdances are known throughout the planet. He is also a newscaster and likes making informative but interesting Prismagram posts. His brother is also an idol, albeit a washed up one-hit wonder.
Kaya is the group's down-to-earth mom friend and soulful vocals. He is the most responsible of the boys and handles their meals and laundry. A former delinquent in his youth, he now spends his free time cooking for schoolchildren and advocating fox rights. He does not support fox pelt products and owns an animal shelter for strays.
Lecter is a dancer who oozes with sex appeal. If not in the studio, he is always hitting up the gym. Once a member of the Little Moonblessings Club in his childhood, he has grown out of his boy-next-door image. Currently, he is #2 on Prismal Magazine's Top 100 Sexiest Men Alive for his well-built frame and photogenic looks. Contrary to his cool appearance and reserved demeanor, he is surprisingly personable. He is also a prolific actor. He likes cats.
Tarn is the baby of the group who maintains a gaming channel. He often does spontaneous livestreams where he does Let’s Play sessions, live Q&As, and encourages people to make memes of his face. He jokes about playing more LmaO than going to practice but he’s got clear and strong vocals.
Rasha is a narcissistic man who can’t get enough of his fans and himself. When hanging around his fans, he tends to ask if they have a mirror to look at himself with. Don’t let his vanity fool you! He’s funny, incredibly easy to be with, and willing to treat people to drinks. He writes most of the lyrics for the group’s songs.

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 Be a part of *BTSB's Prismagram campaign and get a chance to win a physical copy of their album and backstage passes to their upcoming concert! Simply take a picture of you and your friends with official merchandise and post it on Prismagram with the hashtag #WeAreBTSB. Be careful, though: touching *BTSB merchandise tends to make people crush on the first face they see. The posts with the best pictures and stories will get their prizes in the mail on the 24th.
Why would a Moonblessed want to meet them, you ask? Community spirit! A sizable portion of the locals will start singing or dancing with you and your friends! “I want it another way. Tell me why? I never want to hear you say, I wish it wasn't that way. Don't be that way!” Play along and they’ll be willing to pardon your unpaid meal tab for one time or offer an incredible discount for one item you really wanted at the mall. The boys are also considered talented magic users in their own right. They might have some spells and magic tools to add to a Moonblessed's arsenal!

C Every hour, you will receive a text from the official *BTSB fanclub with a link to a poll. The texts will not stop unless you answer the poll. Please answer it ICly, as the answers will affect the event later this month!
Upon voting on the poll, you will be redirected to a video and text chatroom where you will be connected to a random stranger who has also answered the poll. Both you and the stranger will then need to answer the following questions:
- Do you think the other person in this chatroom can be your fire? One of your many desires? Tell me why. Be honest.
- Among the Moonblessed, who do you think is tasty? The tastiest?
Until both questions are answered truthfully, it will be impossible to switch apps, close the app, or delete it entirely.

[Time for lesson one, apparently! And so Sylvain holds up their still-joined hands, calling full attention to the fact that, well, he hasn't let go yet.]
Around here, you make money through touch. So... I won't be put out at all to cover you.
[Really, chroma is such a nonissue for him, that he barely thinks about it anymore - and he knows Dedue is smart enough to surmise why. But the sentiment is still appreciated all the same.]
Your company will more than make up for it, my friend.
no subject
He looks down at their joined hands but there's no judgement in his expression. What the other wishes to do is his business really. And it seems that it is benefiting him slightly here.]
...
[Dedue's frown doesn't lessen really. But he's also aware that he needs food as well as information. Turning it down would be foolish. He might not be worthy of this and Sylvain would be better off giving such an offer to another but it is being directed towards him when he needs it.]
...
[He sighs.]
Thank you.
no subject
Because of course he's worthy of it.
Convincing him of that will, as always, be an ongoing endeavor, but it's not one he intends to give up on any time soon. Not back home, not here.]
Of course. I've found this cute little place that's as close to familiar as they have, here... It's not as good as your cooking, but I hope you'll like it.
[As they walk, Sylvain will fill the silence with idle chatter, pointing out locations that might be of interest. There's a clothing shop that specializes in practicality and darker colors, instead of the neon brightness of most other places. Over there's a grocery. There's a family-run meat market. That one's a flower shop, and the one right next to it looks empty, but turns into the cutest little produce shop on the weekends.
Idly, he hopes he isn't being too overwhelming, but he also knows that Dedue is likely to want to be as self-sufficient as possible as quickly as possible, so... he's helping the best he can.]
no subject
He wonders if he can find a way to have a garden here.
All the while, he continues to hold Sylvain's hand. Perhaps he isn't the one paying this time, and perhaps his companion can easily afford to feed him, but Dedue wants to repay him somehow. Since contact means payment, he can do this much as they walk.
Perhaps he can make him a meal when he is more settled to thank him properly since he feels his food will taste better.
He makes a note to see what ingredients are offered later when he has the funds.]
no subject
Well, he'll watch and encourage from the sidelines, either way.
And feeling the exchange of chroma is nice, too. He'd have thought Dedue would let go of his hand by now, so the fact he hasn't is a bit of a surprise... and also a bit not - he always was a practical one.
(And he will gladly accept a meal later to repay him for taking him out. He'd be foolish to refuse.)
Unfortunately, they do have to part once they're seated at the restaurant, but at least Sylvain ensures they get a quiet table off in a corner so they can speak a little more comfortably.]
Now... where should I start?
no subject
Ah. That is, mm... It's a really good question isn't it.]
...
[He ponders what to even ask about. What doesn't he know? Almost everything. What does he know? That a few of his treasured people are here and they're safe. Honestly, that's probably what matters the most to him but it would be good to have the rest of the knowledge too.
In the end, he decides to remain quiet to let Sylvain decide what would be best for him to know first. It seems he has been here much longer so he will have a far better idea than he will.]
