▶ TDM .014
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.

Fenris | Dragon Age
[Does he want to share an apartment with someone? He does not. But until he gets a better grasp on the politics and ins-and-outs of this place, better not to cause a ruckus over the least little thing. Besides: there's no corpses in here, so, you know, kind of nicer than his old home. One learns to cope.
Still: he's stiff when his new roommate comes in, not so much unfriendly as not particularly good at socializing. There's a sharp nod of mutual respect, but also, maybe don't get too close. the man literally wears spiky armor to keep people away, he's got issues.]
Change the decor as you see fit. I care not for how it looks, so long as I have privacy and a bed.
[Also, hello.]
Fenris is my name.
[It's a start.]
Rock Your Body Right;
Do not.
[That's a very low growl to someone who seems particularly intent on taking a picture with him. They're wearing a frankly ridiculous amount of merchandise, which is to Fenris' benefit: he wears spiky armor, and god forbid he should tear one of those shirts.
Still: they persist. To their credit, they're more enthusiastic than deranged-- surely everyone wants a chance to meet the *BTSB Boys? Of course they do. And of course Fenris must be shy, but it's fine--]
No, I am . . . simply waiting for someone else. Apologies.
[Does that sound honest? It does not, which is why Fenris glances up, searching the crowds before he catches someone familiar's eye. Maybe come save him? This fan is getting pretty insistent, no matter how he firmly rebuffs them. Like, he's not going to yank out his sword because someone got a little too giddy with their cell phone, but at the same time, come on.]
What's The Deal;
Pick one.
[Have a communicator shoved in your face. Yes, there's that poll, and surely you'd prefer to answer it.]
Answer any questions they have, but if it does not silence itself, I'll drown it.
[Local man irritated by basic technology.]
What's The Deal Part II;
[Ah, turns out his favorite was, spins wheel, literally any of the five! Why? Because he picked one at random, that's why. There's an uncomfortably long pause before Fenris begins typing, and even then, it takes him ages. He must be writing something deeply profound.]
Q: Do you think the other person in this chatroom can be your fire? One of your many desires? Tell me why. Be honest.
No.
It is not your concern why.
Q. Among the Moonblessed, who do you think is tasty? The tastiest?
None.
[Are these painstakingly typed out answers honest? Probably! Or at least as close as he can get to it without having to actually think about the question in any way. But this chatroom won't close until at least two people answer, so: hop to.]
i'm here for fun poll content
Does that mean he's totally chill with it? No! What is this man talking about—]
Oh, um— It doesn't drown.
[Other local man barely understands electronics but he's pretty sure he's got that one down!! It doesn't breathe, ergo, it cannot drown. Allow him to just gently... put his hand on the phone and lower it away from his face, thanks...]
If the incessant chirping is what irritates you, you are in luck! I know how to put a stop to that.
[SO fortuitous that he's here!!]
no subject
But oh, that's kind, and he exhales slowly.]
I would be obliged. It has not stopped since this morning.
no subject
Then, if you would allow me... [Tooo take this? Let him take this phone and very deliberately and slowly go through the process of opening the settings and muting the notifications. It's slow because he's about 5% more capable than Fenris, probably.]
There! This will provide you an ounce of peace. Although I've found many people prefer the noises. Regrettably.
no subject
[He makes note of the way this frankly too-tall man turns off those sounds, though, because the sooner he learns how to work it, the better.]
Surely there isn't that much appeal.
no subject
From what I have heard, the appeal lies in "staying connected." To strangers, that is. The other functions are occasionally interesting and often useless.

Rock Your Body Right;
elfelezen that he knows well. Spiky armor? Growl? Angry voice? Looks like he might stab everyone? Check.So while Aymeric might not be a familiar face to Fenris, the situation strikes him as exceeding familiar and he intervenes, catching the fan's attention and, yes, even taking a picture with them. That shakes them off...for now.
In the meantime he turns to Fenris with a smile. ]
They see to have become particularly insistent of late.
no subject
[Dryly said, but he's in a far better mood now that he's not being menaced via selfie.]
Thank you.
Fenris is my name.
[He'd shake hands, but, eh. Better to just nod.]
no subject
'tis no trouble at all.
[ Still smiling, handshake or not. He cannot be deterred. He's a knight! It's his duty to help others. ]
I am Aymeric. Well met.
no subject
[Like . . . he glances around quite pointedly, a little frown on his face.]
Tell me: this is the least of what this place throws at a person, I expect. What is the worst?
[A beat. He internally struggles with something for a moment, but then:]
And the population here: mostly human, I assume.
no subject
[ But the way he frowns, it's clear he knows something worse than this. He's not going to hide the ball, though. ]
Last month, a creature possessed many of those of us who are not from here -- the "Moonblessed," as they call us -- and forced us to fight each other. This all seems rather tame in comparison.
[ It!! Sucked!!! A Lot!! But the way Fenris struggles surprises him. It's pretty apparent this is an elf/elezen thing, and it's true there aren't many like them here which might have been part of the reason he noticed him (although, Fenris is quite...short?? for an elezen), but the way he says it, like there's concern with that?
"Human." He considers the term for a moment. He has heard some use it to mean the spoken races, but he's getting the sense that's not what Fenris means here. What he sees a lot of are those who look like Hyur....maybe that's what is intended? ]
I have seen a lot of those who look like they are Hyur. [ Gotta love Final Fantasy names. ] But there are other races of man as well. There are several Miqo'te from my home.

Perhaps a different tactic is needed.]
There you are! Gods above, this place is a maze.
[She strides unhurriedly up to the man and his overeager friend, silver-tipped cane clicking on the sidewalk as she makes her approach. Lilias doesn’t look at the other person until she’s reached the two of them, smiling warmly at her elven “friend” before she finally spares a withering look for the band enthusiast. On her shoulder, a large, red-eyed raven mirrors the direction of her stare and lets out a low croak.]
Get lost; you're intruding. I won't say it twice.
no subject
My thanks. That was growing wearying.
Though fortunately, he was the only person foolish enough to approach me. Let's hope the trend continues.
no subject
Yes, the locals here do seem uncommonly pushy.
[Looking at the man, he doesn’t exactly radiate friendliness. Rather, the unwelcoming-looking spikes armoring his person seem to shout: “Approach at your own risk.” Usually she would only expect such blind persistence from overenthusiastic salespeople and religious zealots.]
Though I find that when diplomacy fails, people tend to take the hint when faced with the threat of being turned into small animals. [She says this with levity, and uses her free hand to scratch her bird briefly under its chin.] Apparently I must look like someone capable of performing such a spell.
no subject
[Dryly said, but he looks a little intrigued by that bird. But ah, that last sentence . . .]
And are you someone who can perform such spells?
[There goes the warmth in his tone. Instead: it's short and firm, his eyes intent.]
no subject
No. [She says it truthfully enough, though the implication that she might be doesn’t seem to disturb her.] Nor have I met anyone who could. Are such individuals a known concern where you come from?

What's the Deal?
I could show you how the thing works. They're pretty easy once you get the hang of them.
[He decides to go based on what he thinks Fenris would be into. Then the Qunari hands it back to him.]
But the thing won't bother you anymore now.
no subject
[A beat, and then, in Qunlat:]
Well met. I was not aware there were any Qunari here.
no subject
[He gives him a smile.]
Name's The Iron Bull. You're Fenris, right? You've got a reputation.
no subject
What?
[Danarius is dead, but some fears never leave you.]

here's a late one if that's okay!
She nods cautiously---wordlessly, at first, before looking back at the list of assignments and no, for now, she would sty until she could otherwise afford to. Softly, she acknowledges. ]
You'll find that I desire quite the same. Privacy, a bed. Quiet.
As for decorating...
[ The place was stark in comparison to the garish decor of the palace at Arendelle. It didn't bother her that it didn't look like home or anything, but...her tone is meek, still surveying her surroundings, unsure. ]
Maybe I'll save some sprucing up for later.
...Elsa.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Fenris.
of course!!
I don't know if pleasure is the right word.
[Actually, he has a lot of thoughts and feelings about being here, but you know what? He isn't going to go on a rant just yet. Maybe on their second thread.]
This isn't precisely a paradise, despite what they might push.
no subject
[ She does too; just...more nagging, anxious ones than helpful ones. Taking another turn around the room, Elsa looks...a bit lost for a second, before smoothing out her hands on her dress. ]
I haven't seen enough of it to really know. Did you...I mean. Have you been here long?
no subject
[Hm.]
Apologies. I meant that not as an insult to you, but a critique of this place.
And no. A day at most, and even then, barely so.
