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.

Fortunately for the good Doctor, Lunafreya is just as polite, but isn't the type for handshakes or high-fives, either. She's far too formal for that. So instead, he gets a small, polite bow. ]
It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Doctor.
[ Ah, but she's wasting his time... ]
Since I am here, is there anything you can think off that you may need? Food, any sort of essentials you are missing at the moment? I can go and get them for you.
no subject
Ohhh, trust me, I am missing soooo many essentials right now. [He starts counting on his fingers for effect.] Tools, materials, my entire lab, all of my projects, my sound system...
[He trails off. Those... aren't what most people would consider essentials.
He frowns, rubs his chin thoughtfully, and glances up.]
...I could really use a goddamn latte.
no subject
I can't get those things for you, but I can certainly bring you a latte. Or we could go together and I could show you around a little bit.
no subject
Might as well just suck it up and go along.
He nods, after what probably seems like waaaaaaay too much internal deliberation.]
Fine. Sure. Show me.
no subject
Very well. Come, I will take you to the shop a friend and I frequent quite often.
[ She will turn and begin down the hallway, fully expecting the poor man to come along as requested, naturally. ]
They seem to have many offerings, so hopefully there will be one you will enjoy. I am more of a tea person myself, but I've grown fond of iced coffees.
no subject
[He stalks off behind her, not looking forward to all the small talk this is going to generate, but at least he'll be getting his damn coffee.
Won't be as good as Stone's, of course, but he knows how to make do.]
Never really got into tea. I find it... kind of unpleasant.
[King of small talk.]
no subject
Well, perhaps one day you will find one you like. There are many varieties, after all. Did you know that they actually make 'tea latte''s? I was not made aware of this until coming here.
[ As they make their way outside and down the sidewalk, she hums thoughtfully. ]
What sort of coffee beverage is your favorite?
no subject
As for the coffee question...]
Latte.
[He thought that was kind of obvious, so maybe he should specify.]
With, uh, goat milk.
[Man likes it fancy.]
no subject
Latte's, he says. There are many varieties, and she's about to ask him which one, but he answers before she has the chance. ]
That does sound good. I hope they have something similar to that... do you enjoy it hot or cold?
no subject
Being nice. Making small talk.
Great.]
Hot. I won't complain about cold if I have to, I guess.
[It's so mind-numbing he tries to look at as many things they pass as possible. It's totally just him being curious. Totally.]
no subject
Well, then I hope they have something similar to what you enjoy.
[ Fortunately, they are nearing their destination, and once they are just across the street, she stops. ]
There it is. The menu is quite expansive, perhaps if they don't have a similar latte, you will be able to find something else just as delightful.
no subject
Well... even if they don't, I seem to be stuck with it, so it'll just have to do, huh?
[He peers across the street. Looks normal enough, although who knows how different things are in this strange new world?
Which is, y'know, fascinating, but there's also something to be said about the familiar.]
Riiight. Might as well check out some... alien beverages.
