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
07/08 - 07/15 | 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.

 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.





You’re as Cold as Ice
07/08 - 07/15 | Level 2, Crystal Beach | top

Summer strikes Lunatia with record high temperatures as the city is wracked by an unnatural heatwave. Residents will feel the burn the moment they head outdoors, kissing their skin pink as it drenches them in sweat. For a hot and sticky day like this, it's the perfect time to head to Crystal Beach for a refreshing dip in the water. All sorts of new stands have popped up by the shore, selling icy treats and frozen cocktails.

The morning news recommends befriending those blessed by Cordis, who can keep people cool with their magic touch. They also warn of overheating machinery and electronics! Establishments and residences may end up dealing with broken air-modulating units if they use them too much.

Having cleared their names, Suzaku and Kaya of former *BTSB fame have decided to reform as a rock band duo called The Nine Tails after leaving their boyband roots. They will be performing their most chill new summer jam, “Fox Girl Summer,” while incorporating Cordis magic of their own to keep the listeners feeling cool and refreshed.

 B  Those listening to Kaya and Suzaku’s summer anthem might find their beats too chill to relax and party to. And by that, we mean literally. Ice may start to form around the limbs of happy local beachgoers, filling them with unfortunate shivers that will send them running into the arms of another Prismal to thaw. Even more troubling is that some portions of the oceanfront may also start to freeze, trapping some unsuspecting swimmers inside and leaving them in need of rescue. If anyone goes unnoticed, a Prismal lifeguard will be quick to rescue them.

In a panic, Kaya winks at Suzaku, who reassures his worried partner and ends their performance by summoning a mighty phoenix above the stage. Of course, it is only an illusion for the audience as Kaya thaws the partygoers and the ocean with his magic. Suzaku might have gotten carried away with their debut...






Boom, Badoom, Boom, You Got that Super Bass
07/08 - 07/15 | top

The heated beach waters have brought a large onslaught of aggressive super bass close to the shore. Needless to say, the boys with the booming system were not ready for the sudden and alarming increase in population of this particular fish. In response, the beach committee is hosting a fishing competition to see who can catch the largest super bass. They will be providing extremely durable fishing gear and sufficient bait to all worthy competitors, so come to the Crystal Pier with your best fishing know-how and try and break a record or two!

Due to the competition, job openings for lifeguards have become available. Their main task is to keep an eye on participants and the audience. They should be ready to pull them out in case they have trouble swimming back to the pier. Lifeguards will be provided official beach committee high-tech swimsuits (in the form of tankinis and speedos of your choice) that enhance their performance by allowing them to swim faster and breathe more easily underwater. In the dark ocean depths, they glow with patterns easily recognizable to the Prismal eye. They also accentuate the Moonblesseds’ assets very nicely.

 C  Although they are no different from sea bass in appearance, super bass are known for their monstrous strength and penchant for mischief. They like to fly in the air and slap whoever tries to catch them and their fellow fish with their tail fins. You think you like them better when they dolo? Think again. These fish will purposely grab a hold of something eye-catching such as rainbow-colored sea pearl or other treasures from the ocean and pull the unsuspecting fishers into the watery depths.





Put on Your Red Shoes and Dance the Blues
07/08 - 07/23 | City of Amegahara | top

The city of Amegahara is in preparation for the annual Vulpus Astra Celebration which is coming up in a few weeks. This year is special as the foxes of Amegahara have never celebrated this occasion with the dragons of Lyestellus, making it the first time all three cities in the alliance will be celebrating together. This is all thanks to the Moonblessed, who not only healed their lands but also brought the Prismals closer.

And so for this special year, the upcoming event promises to be an even larger and more extravagant affair. In order to address the extremely high demand for traditional dress and other materials needed for the celebration, many job openings become available in Amegahara. Among these are tailors, glassblowers, florists, and dancers.

 D  The tailors will be sewing traditional clothes, such as lovely-patterned yukata, kimono, haori, and obi. Glassblowers will create pearl glass plates, cups, and trinkets such as hair accessories and festive souvenirs. Florists will be heading to work at Inari Highway’s greenhouses, caring for flowers and putting together flower crowns, colorful bouquets, and floral arrangements to use for street and interior decorations. It is encouraged to make use of pearl glass vases!

Lastly, dancers will be auditioning for a group of strict Amegaharan foxes who will not shy away from hurling insults if you underperform. The traditional Amegaharan dance features many layers of intricate fan work that is difficult to master, or dancers can choose to take part in the more uproarious Amegaharan drum dance. Be prepared for long and grueling rehearsals after passing auditions, where you will be forced to partner up with one another to bend each other’s bodies as flexibly as it could then dance until every single person in the room has the movements and timings memorized perfectly. Moonlacing will keep one another from collapsing in exhaustion, but your bruised ego may require more tender care.

[Hikaru blinks and then bursts out laughing. He really can't help it.] You're a real idiot, huh? [WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO JUST WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO BE NICE TO YOU?

But he is being affectionate when he says it.]

[It feels very, very wrong to accept charity. Not that he ever offered it but in his position, it would have been much more likely to offer it than take it.

But he is starving and he nods. He should probably thank her but even that feels weird to do. He knows his manners but they are not something he ever uses all that often.]


You really don't have to do this. [That's as close as a thank you as he can manage.]

[Patchouli's not much of a party girl. But she's definitely partaken of alcohol more than once, to put it nicely.]

Not a problem. ["Lifesaver"? Eh, don't question it, she eventually reasons. The weirdo would probably be okay if she didn't drink. But also, why not help her out; she figures escape would be a lot harder. Plus, it isn't a bad way to get to know someone.

...usually.

She floats off in... in a direction. The main takeaway here is that she's floating off the ground too. Which shouldn't be weird at all to Metera, of course.]


Oh, right, shouldn't we introduce ourselves? [As she comes to a halt in front of the earlier-mentioned bar.

Metera might not notice this, but it's very close to the Lunar Scientia Headquarters. The reason for this is that Patchouli is almost always there during her spare time, because she's reading through the entire contents of the library. Maybe someday she'll be done with that, but there's kind of a lot.

The bright lights that illuminate it? Those don't help it stand out because most of Lunatia, especially on the upper level, is already like that.

I didn't plan this very much. Oops.]

"Who said anything about love!?"

Yeah, he's immediately huffing. He hasn't said that to anyone and frankly, he doesn't plan on it. Especially not after losing Eichi like it was nothing, and having no way to really mourn or deal with it.

"I'm not so much of a fool to fall in love with anyone in a world where we can all disappear at a moment's notice and reappear later with no memories of that person, if at all."

And yet he's well aware he has strong feelings, ones that make him feel like he's being gutted at that very concept. Even if he tried to keep his voice even with that, there's a twinge of what he's going through right now obvious in the deep, serious tone of his voice.

"We're going home in silence if you're going to keep saying irresponsible things."

He turns into the convenience store for now, though.

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-08-08 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
He has to snicker, really because come on Midorima, lie to yourself, but Takao is not falling for it. With or without a steady voice, the point guard sees through it, the same as he did the hurt the other is feeling.

It's okay, he may be teasing now, but he is also there as a shoulder or a poke in the ribs when he needs it. It's a win-win of sorts, right? He keeps pace with Midorima's slightly longer stride despite the back and forth and his laughing. Because most of it is what it has been since they set out on this errand, Takao trying to distract Midorima, considering he is being threatened with the silent treatment he is maybe, kind of sort of succeeding. Maybe he should have bought the spanks and used those as fodder the whole way home instead.

"My bad, I forgot you're the Ice King besides I am just an irresponsible guy." It is a tease, his voice says it all, he won't use the love word again. Tonight. He makes no future promises because this is who he is. He is also pretty far from irresponsible, yeah he likes to have a good time but most days he has his crap together at least.

It was less awkward than Kuroko thought it was going to be, so he just took it. Despite his outward confidence, he had trouble thinking the others on his team liked him as much as he did, and now he was with someone he didn't even know outside of basketball.

But it was warm and comfortable and feeling finally came back to his leg, and he was oddly grateful for this place.
"Please don't describe to me what exactly your fantasies are," Kuroko managed to mumble out because yes, Takao, he was falling asleep on your shoulder and no, he was not going to stop.

[personal profile] punchpass 2020-08-08 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't tell him, but he did regard Kise as a close friend. It would just never show on his face because then the guy would go nuts and he already had enough of being strangled by hugs, thank you very much. But he was going to keep leaning, especially as the taller boy welcomed him in because by god it felt so nice.

"I see. I am glad that the two of you have been doing well for yourselves in this situation. I would be worried for Midorima-kun especially, if he does not have access to Oha Asa here." There was one other question he kind of wanted to ask, but he was almost afraid of the answer. "I don't suppose we are still able to play basketball?"
punchpass: (v srs sideview)

[personal profile] punchpass 2020-08-08 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a flicker on Kuroko's face, almost more emotion than he allowed himself sometimes. He was finally done being upset and he didn't need to sink into that again. "We-Seirin lost to Touou. To Aomine-kun's team."

And he still wasn't strong enough to help the person who needed it the most, who'd given him the love of basketball in the first place.
dvine: (76)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-08-08 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
And that is why he thinks he doesn't have any friends! You guys are breaking his heart, let him be happy! Hugs aren't that bad, Kise's gentle. Carefully leading Kuroko down the street and towards his apartment is one of the proofs that he's very attentive and careful.

"Mmm, there isn't Oha Asa here, but there's something similar? Midorimacchi says it's not as accurate for the horoscope as Oha Asa, but says it's something to do with the stars." He honestly has no idea what the guy meant. He only picked up on "it will serve its purpose".

Kise grins, "Don't worry! Not only are we able to play basketball here but I am doing some work to open a sports center so I can organize tournaments and gather everyone that wants to play! Midorimacchi's team is currently the best- because they have Midorimacchi on the team." Which means- they ought to do something, Midorima's already bossy as it is, someone needs to take the guy down a notch or two.
deliveryhawk: (thats kind of embarrassing)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-08-08 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It is more awkward than Takao wants it to be but then again it is not as awkward as it could be. There is no kotatsu from hell filled with Cordis pheromones to bother his Iris issues. They are out in the open so no matter what moon Kuroko is, Takao should be fine.

He sputters out a laugh "My fantasies, if tentacles show up it's every man for himself and I am leaving you here."

Wait, he's falling asleep?!? Has he unfrozen yet Takao wonders, can he move? Have a poke with a fingertip Kuroko because what are you doing, he is not a pillow.

"Oi, you better not be dying on me."

punchpass: (stretch)

[personal profile] punchpass 2020-08-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
He wasn't dying, but the heat and the stress of the situation really had gotten to him. He wasn't sure why, but Takao was a comforting presence, someone he both knew well enough and at the same time didn't. He felt the point guard poke his face, but that wasn't going to move him. Kuroko was just tired.

And yes, maybe his leg was still a little messed up, but now he was curling up more on the other boy and dangerously close to ending up in his lap.
deliveryhawk: (huffy hawk)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-08-09 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
If he curls into Takao's lap he is a dead man! The point guard pushes back, chroma is one thing, hell he can even take a nap but not in Takao's lap. He has done the platonic cuddling thing, it's all good but hips do no-touch, that is rule number one Kuroko.

No hips, no laps, arms loose if they have to be around the person. NOT HIS FREAKING LAP!!

"You're hopeless...." He sighs, raises his legs so that Kuroko can lean into his knees, blocking his lap from access and so Takao can keep his arm around his shoulder.

"You've got ten minutes and then it's wakey wakey."

Kise was lucky that this planet seemed to make touching each other feel much less awkward than it should be, because he was just able to lean on his friend and not feel terrible about it.

Still, that was good to hear about Midorima. Kuroko didn't quite get it either, but he knew his friend struggled when he didn't have access to his horoscope. As for the basketball....

Kuroko actually pulled himself away to look at Kise, actual excitement in his eyes, before swaying again because he was still overheating. "I'm...glad to hear that. I do not have a light here, but it would be fun to play with everyone again."

It is a pleasure to meet you, Faust.

[ He had hoped to hold his hand a little longer as he didn't quite mind the weight and warmth of his touch, but he understands how awkward it makes mortals feel. Only lovers and family members seem to delight in such an activity. ]

I did a bit of healing, yes. Some combat and shields as well. You can say I served many roles.

[ To demonstrate, his hands move in an elegant arc as he casts a magical shield around Faust. It should protect him for a bit until he takes enough significant damage to break it. Hopefully, that will not be the case any time soon. ]

Our ship's captain is rather devoted to helping others. As such, I too have devoted myself to his cause. What of your own role in your world?

[ Hopefully, his illness doesn't keep him bedridden all the time, though he doesn't appear to have any outward symptoms. Then again, many diseases tend to be asymptomatic up until the point they cause fragile hearts to stop beating. ]

[ Now that his heart is beating in his chest again instead of trying to jump out of it, he guesses this is fine. (Taichi no this is not fine.) He grins a little nervously at her and introduces himself. ]

I'm Taichi Nanao. Nice to meet you, Metera.

[ ...With a line still across his face. He goes to pick up the fallen mascara and screw the cap back on, then goes to get some cleanser and a tissue to clean himself up. ]
arf: (calm smile)

[ Taichi pouts about it but doesn't seem genuinely put off by being called an idiot. He has been called that and similar variations many times by many people. Personally, he prefers the times he gets "simple" because it at least tries to be nice about it. He lets out a soft laugh and scratches the back of his head. That Hikaru is laughing and doesn't seem to be genuinely mean about it helps a lot. ]

Heheh, I get that a lot.

[ The idiot part, not the trouble part. A beat. ]

[The number of times the Savra has held anyone's hand probably numbers in the single digits and it's all exclusively been limited to one person. It's not even that he actively dislikes it, but touch in general is something that one tends to get used to going without when you've lived most of your life with a highly infectious disease. Although even before becoming an Infected it wasn't like anyone wanted to touch some abandoned kid living in the sewers.

Out of instinct Faust tenses a little when the other moves his hand, and he sees the shimmering energy around him. He's faced plenty of Arts users who can wield powers like that so it's difficult not to be a little cautious between that experience and the fact that everyone here seems to gain some level of affinity for supernatural abilities. But it... Doesn't seem to hurt him so he just gives the other a guarded look, tail flicking back and forth.]


You should warn people before you do that sort of thing. Someone might get the wrong idea and try to fight back.

[It's not intended to be a threat, just a warning since this guy seems pretty casual about flaunting his abilities and quick to trust.

... But oh, there it is. The question that is extremely loaded and definitely not something that he plans on answering with too much detail.]


I was a sniper. [It's not technically a lie.]

So long Kuroko's fine with it, he can count on Kise to offer him any kind of support related to chroma.

Kuroko will realize that Midorima didn't change much from what he was like back home. Maybe more open-minded? Still very superstitious and quite the tsundere he was back then. Very into basketball, as always.

Kise catches him and uses his hand to try to fan the heat away, doubting it will help too much. Sadly, he's sanguis so he can't make ice like cordis, only fire and heat, so this is as much as he can help with that. The apartment building is in view though, maybe another five-minute walk to it. "Don't worry! We'll all play here together! Midorimacchi and Takaocchi are here, as well as Mayuzumi. There are also other teams that play, on a professional level." Midorima is in one of them and Kise's place hosts their matches from time to time.
punchpass: (still cuter than u)

[personal profile] punchpass 2020-08-11 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
You're a true friend, Kise.

The fanning didn't actually do much, but the thought was appreciated at least. Kuroko was still more excited about the prospect of actual basketball than he was about passing out like a sack of rocks on the ground. He didn't recognize the name Mayuzumi, but he supposed maybe it was a friend Kise made here. It didn't matter, because there was professional basketball.

"Have Kise-kun and Midorima-kun been having fun, then? We can form our own teams?" Yes, that also might be a hint of a real smile on his face.

[ in all honesty, he wasn't revealing the whole truth. sure, he wasn't lying, he (and renji, for that matter) had been in prismatica for little over a year. but how long he had actually been away from home? it was much longer than that. but...

well, what reason did he have to tell her about that? it didn't matter. if it ever came up, he supposed he'd cross that bridge when he got there. it wasn't something he really wanted to think about. even telling her that much had been difficult.

so he laughed, softly and weakly, quite unlike his usual candor. he wasn't even sure what to say in response, feeling oddly sick for home and his friends, fatigued with a reality he'd been running from in pursuit of indulgence for too long.

so, as per usual, he pushed along, forcing a stronger smile, swallowing down that anxiety. it made him burn all the brighter. ]

Sure! I'd be glad to! It's kinda overwhelming at first, but you'll get use to it, I'm sure!
accurately: (lucky items are totally!! legit!!)

[personal profile] accurately 2020-08-11 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Irresponsible isn't a word he would normally use for Takao, but right now it seems irresponsible to him. He'll understand it eventually. Midorima once upon a time had fantastical notions about that sort of thing being the only reason to be with someone, and that he would rather be with the person he wanted to be with while he could than accept that they were likely to disappear and leave him behind.

When he's less hurt, he'll come to the same conclusion. But right now, it's too raw. It hurts, as loathe as he is to admit it, and he has no idea how to recompense himself right now. Even if they aren't talking about Eichi right now, it hurts. The idea that he might go through this again with Weiss, and possibly more confusingly with Kise one day isn't something he wants to fall into right now.

Hence, the man who is responsible for taking care of Midorima more often than not is, just this once, irresponsible.

"You can tell me all about how responsible you're being after you lose someone here. Go grab a toothbrush and paste, I'll get a hair brush, shampoo, and conditioner."

They're all in the same aisle.
deliveryhawk: (these eyes miss nothing)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-08-11 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully, Takao being around will help with this, a friend is definitely a good thing to have in a place that is so unpredictable and if there is one thing Takao is good at, it's being Midorima's friend. He has it down to an art, honestly.

He mentally kicks himself, his joke may have gone too far, and yes it was irresponsible of him, he is usually more cautious of Midorima's honest feelings. Only teasing him with those things that won't hurt him. His silence after Midorima's next words is his apology.

"Okay." Off he goes, picking up each item he reads it first to be sure. He has had enough surprises for today and he does not want to get home and brush his teeth to find out he has bought some weird sex brush or something.

He is a quick read so it does not take him long and he is back with that same devilish smirk.

"All set." After they get this settled, Takao will be back to taking care of Midorima, he likes that job better than being the one taken care of. It's a natural fit for him. His continued, compliance and almost silence are just a little extra I'm sorry for being a dumbass.
accurately: (don't tell anyone he likes anything)

[personal profile] accurately 2020-08-11 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't take a genius to understand that would be a difficult time for Kuroko. He imagines it's much like Shutoku's loss to Rakuzan- hurtful, despite trying so hard and it not being enough. But Midorima knows Kuroko will eventually succeed come Winter, and has yet to overcome his own closest friend from middle school.

Midorima pushes up his glasses, not sure what to say. It seems cheap to simply tell Kuroko his own future, even if Midorima doesn't particularly want him to have to concern himself over it.

"My time is long after that. I won't say anything unless you ask for it, but know it's your own fault if you hear something you don't want to."
