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.

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.

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.

Dimitri needs more of your assistance right now. It's been a long time since he last spoke to you. He didn't return to our world with me.
[ The Dimitri he met in their original world had also not remembered what had transpired in this one, which has left Byleth silently re-evaluating some things, like how much he should even tell him about what future awaits the young king. At least, Dedue being here should provide ample enough distraction and lift his spirits. They're still a long way from Faerghus. ]
If you need a place to stay and rest, I can take you to his apartment.
no subject
[He will have to find a place, one he will make sure is near Dimitri, but taking up residence in his place? No, that would be too much. While it would make him available to him at all times, he cannot be such a burden that way by taking up space.]
He has shown me where he lives. I will locate a suitable residence.
[Not the one originally shown to him. That's for certain. It's too far.]
no subject
[ Dimitri would sooner gnaw off his own arm than call Dedue a bother or an imposition. If anything, the familiarity would be a welcomed feeling to him, but he also knows Dedue is the type to keep to himself when not called to duty. ]
Maybe close by. So we can visit. The others live in the same building.
[ It's almost as though they were all back in their dorms at Garreg Mach... only with more questionable noises coming from Sylvain's room than before. And some from Felix's, but Byleth values his own life too much to bring that up. ]
There's even a community garden on the rooftop.
[ He still recalls Dedue's favorite pass-time... or at least one of the few that doesn't include cooking and fretting after Dimitri. ]
no subject
He...would truly love to tend to a garden again. To have his hands in the soil.]
That sounds welcoming.
[It does. Dedue even finds himself smiling just the smallest bit at the thought of it. To think he'd come to such a strange place and find this level of...comfort.]
no subject
At least, this land was free of the large-scale wars that had hit their own land, not that it wasn't covered in its own bevy of threats. They just tend to be over a lot quicker as far as he's aware. ]
I'll let you tour the area, but you can come find me if you need anything.
[ He knows Dedue would never wish to trouble him, so it's more like Byleth will have to find him. Still, that invitation stands should Dedue ever wish to take it. ]
Did they give you a device?
[ He taps his wrist to demonstrate, rarely leaving home without his own these days even if it felt odd at first. He likes having some connection with the others in case of emergencies. ]
no subject
[Byleth is as reliable as ever. There's comfort in that. Dedue finds himself appreciating the easiness that comes from how they speak and knowing that this man will always be there for them.
It helps to always have someone to fall back on. Even he needs that.]
...
[Fishing into his armor, he pulls out the device that Byleth is referring to. He hasn't put it on since he doesn't understand the purpose of it yet.]
no subject
His hands then fish for his own device before he types out a message, a simple: "Welcome to Lunatia, Dedue 😊"
Yes, the combined efforts of Sylvain and Prompto had opened his eyes to a whole exotic world of emojis, not that he can claim to really "get" why they're used. ]
Just send me a message through there, and I'll come. For anything you need, Dedue.
[ He doesn't think the man would ever request anything unreasonable from him anyway. ]
no subject
With that, he looks up at him again.]
Thank you. I will contact you if I find I require something.
[Which means he probably only will in emergencies so he won't bother him.]
no subject
[ He offers one last comforting look, hoping Dedue will take him up on his offer. In the meantime, he leaves Dedue to acquaint himself with his new surroundings even if he's worried about him and how he'll acclimate to all of this. He's sure, at least, that the other Blue Lions will also come to his aid and support him if he needs.
His hand rises in one last parting wave, hoping to confer with Dimitri over it later, though he's sure Dimitri is also eager to catch up with his old friend at long last. ]
