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.

Living a life that should have been his. He's no less disturbed by it now as he was then, faltering under the weight of his own ignorance.He wants to believe that everything out of Xue Yang's mouth is a lie, but he knows better.
He knows the man wields truth because it always wounds deeper.
It sounds impossible, and yet there are a few things that Song Lan has discovered about this place to give proof. He knows that this place is far older than him, that people have been here far longer than him. That he's hardly the first and will not be the last, given the careful explanations he was given. The treatment he was given. So much of it feels like white noise he can barely parse, but he did retain some of it.
Of course Xue Yang appeared in this strange world before him. Of course he already understands where they are and what's happening. Song Lan is always too slow.
Always too late.
Especially when it's most important.
His face twists at the name, his chest twisting in time, and though he grips the sword he forces the words from his mouth instead: hoarse and rasping. ]
Where is he.
[ It isn't really the question he wants to ask, or the question he knows Xue Yang will hear. Is he under your thrall? is the thing he wants to spit. Are you destroying him again? ]
no subject
I dunno.
[ The words come with feigned casualness, even as they cut his throat bloody upon the cruel broken shards those scant syllables, Xue Yang shrugging as though it's no concern of his. As though Song Lan could ever be misled about what Xiao Xingchen makes them feel. ]
We were living together, with little miss A-Qing. And you. For months. But you went away, and then he stopped coming back. [ It seems so simple a thing, laid out like that, Xue Yang speaking as though describing someone else's life because it's the only way for him to speak of this at all. ] That happens here sometimes, I guess. People come, they go, they forget things.
[ He grins a little too wild, a little too wide, head canting to one side. ]
I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.
no subject
He wanted to demand that Xue Yang take it back. That he was lying, that he had to be lying.
But then, he'd thought it was impossible once before, hadn't he?
He'd thought it was utterly impossible, until felt the cold bite of Shuanghua piece through his chest.
He was breathing hard, trying to decide if he would simply throttle Xue Yang in the street. He would deserve it. Even if Xiao Xingchen never forgave him, Xue Yang would deserve it.
And it wasn't as if Xiao Xingchen would forgive him for anything else as it was.
Xingchen. A-Qing. Him. What utterly foreign world could this possibly be, where he would have ever agreed breathe the same air as Xue Yang?
Other than the world he existed in for years, half-alive.]I was not here. [ He hissed it, lowly, his voice still rough and nearly broken. ]
no subject
He just wants to hear his voice.
Even his hate feels good. ]
You were.
[ Xue Yang says this plainly, having proof to offer but... what's the point? A-Chen— Song Lan is stubborn, difficult, just as likely to dig his heels in or react in anger equal to his inability to accept the truth. He's always been easy to bait in that way, to toy with, to entrap.
None of that will help him here.
He gazes up at Song Lan not in defiance, but with the hollow-eyed stare of someone who'd lost more than he could bear. Someone who'd lost everything. Just one more way they were alike now, though Song Lan would never know. Xue Yang had taken everything from Song Lan, and in turn Song Lan had now taken everything from him. ]
We made a promise together, to protect him. After all this time, all the searching, everything we've— Everything I did.
...we finally got him back. So when you were here the first time, we made a promise not to hurt him again, not at any cost. Is that so hard to believe?
