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.

...
this day is AWESOME-]
Ah, yeah, d'you like my shirt?
[Clearly Tabitha has been spending too much time at this particular establishment, because he barely needs to move a finger and a (very sparkly) barmaid has appeared to take said sake order. Once that's done, he leans against the bar and grins.]
Everyone here is real friendly. I can't remember the last time I had so many people tryin' to buy me alcohol!
[...
there's probably a good reason he can't remember, hmm]
How're you though, boss? You make it through all that medical crap okay?
no subject
[So saith the guy for whom booze has ceased being a vice and started being just a normal percentage of his blood's chemical makeup.]
And "all that medical crap" is hardly how I would have chosen to spend my day - [loose translation: he was a belligerent asshole. was there a fistfight? there may have been.] - but as long as it's not a frequent occurrence I can live with it.
no subject
...also, he totally bought you a whole bottle, so. Have fun, #1 boss.]
I don't think we need to go through it again, no. The guys I've been talking to in here say it's just a once-off. Yanno, to make sure we aren't bringing weird diseases into Lunatia or something.
[That doesn't excuse the fact that it was invasive as hell, and Tabitha was 100% not here for it (that injection sucked!), but...]
Doesn't really explain why we're here in the first place, but it could be worse. I've worked out how to earn money, at least!
[You know, for the essentials! Like alcohol, and....!
...other...things! Yeah!]
no subject
I've heard about that. I can't say I have any argument with that, at least.
[Like, seriously, he's not precisely the most huggy person but he's not going to die at casual touch or anything. Or not-so-casual, if he finds someone that seems properly fun. If that's how you make money, then he's here for it, honestly.]
no subject
[Or, you know, EARNING IT? Like a NORMAL PERSON?]
Like, I've only been here a few hours, but just by hanging around in here and getting amongst these people, I've got a decent balance! It's almost too easy!
[He'll similarly pause for a moment to have a drink; not that he could dream of keeping up with you, but still! He'll give it his best shot!]
Ya want me to transfer it to you? What's mine is yours, boss.
no subject
[...Maxie.]
I'm a bit surprised at how little counts, in all seriousness. "Almost too easy" indeed.
no subject
I'm not gunna complain about it. I'm sure there's a catch somewhere-
[-he can't say he'll be too impressed when the red moon pops up, that's gunna be fuck-you-and-your-submarine-Amber levels of SUCK-]
-but I can deal with that when it comes. For now, I'm just glad to see you're safe. Even if this place kinda....isn't the ideal location to be, at the moment.
[he knows you must be pissed off about the whole Groudon thing being interrupted, um]
no subject
[He's! Not thrilled! About that, no!!]
But of course I'm fine, Tabitha - it isn't as though I'm going to let a setback like this influence anything, and I'm hardly going to concede defeat now.
[How are we supposed to actually do anything here, he doesn't know. But he has literally never let not knowing shit stop him before, so why start now.]
Along those lines, I'm sure it can only be to our benefit that there's no Team Aqua presence that I'm aware of here.
no subject
[If it isn't too obvious he is ABSOLUTELY DOWN to go BURN SOME STUFF if that's what you want! We'll expand the land here, somehow!
...although that's a good point, isn't it-]
It's nice not to have to look at any of those Aqua pests, yeah. Not a blue bandanna in sight!
[....admittedly there are no other red hoods in sight, either, but...well, 2 against 0 is pretty darn good odds! Have a rather nasty grin, after he takes another swig of beer.]
Not that it'll worry me if they do show up. I'll sort 'em out.
[...provided they don't start drowning because Archie doomed them to die, um
he just wants to beat them up, not kill them...]
no subject
Of course - as long as you leave Archie to me, you can have all the fun you want with them.
[...It's admittedly kind of weird to think about Archie not being here, albeit in an odd, prickly sort of way; he's hardly going to miss the guy, but he does at least vaguely acknowledge the possibility that he'll be bored. Though it's not like he's incapable of making his own fun - he's certainly done it before, it's just been a while since it was through necessity.]
no subject
Despite himself, Tabitha shudders.]
Oh, he's all yours, boss. That guy is scary.
[That's...not to say he's not gunna jump to your defence if Archie pops up and tries to hurt you, but...man. If you guys wanna fight it out, go for it.]
no subject
[Maxie, you fucking saw the incident in the base- ]
Well. Even so, he's nothing I can't handle. He hasn't destroyed me yet, and I don't intend to give him the opportunity.
no subject
God, you're going to give him a heart attack at this point-]
Ah...well, yeah, he doesn't seem like the nicest guy around.
[Not that we're a pair of angels, but you know...he's fairly confident you wouldn't beat him up with your Camerupt (unless he deserved it, then - fine), and he's definitely sure you wouldn't leave him to die horribly in a sinking submarine, so.
...he picked the better team to work for, um]
But if you wanna fight him, I ain't gunna stop you. Just don't go getting yourself destroyed, alright?
[is it weird that this is considered a casual conversation, for us? it's probably pretty weird.
...
oh well!]
I gotta spend all this chroma on someone, after all! How's your drink?
no subject
[If he considered this conversation to be weird to have in public, he wouldn't be having it in public. Probably.
...Also Maxie tends to be the sort to just say things in front of Arceus and everyone anyway, so.]
Besides, I'm not going to argue with alcohol this nice. You really must be charming everyone in the place.
no subject
[And he doesn't; despite his insistence about protecting him, that's just Tabitha's loyalty talking - he's seen Maxie in battle, and to be honest? If the boss was going hard, that freak Archie wouldn't stand a chance.
The thought makes him smile, and he releases a soft chuckle after taking another sip of beer.]
You surprised? I can be charming when I wanna. 'Specially if there's money involved!
[Or, you know, dead volcanoes and cute gym leader girls. That's also a totally acceptable scenario.]
