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.

[It's hard being so normal in a world like this. He's very ordinary and he's not used to being that.

He jumps when the flame appears but he isn't a coward, okay? Instead he tries to look at it from a different angle. To try to see how the trick works and he can't figure that out. Frowning, he considers all of this. This place was weird and he had seen enough things that really, was it so impossible that this guy was a prince from some 'fire nation'?

It feels impossible. That sounds completely crazy. But...

Well, he isn't admitting he's wrong. That's just as impossible.]


You should still work on your image.

[But it doesn't sound nearly as confident as it did before. More like an afterthought though he would still say he wasn't wrong.]

[ Zuko narrows his eyes at first — back to this again? After all that?! But he softens, realizing that "still" implied Hikaru finally believed him — and that brought a smirk to his face almost, because omg victory... The power of fire!! But he can feel a difference in Hikaru's vibe for the worse, and while he's satisfied he finally convinced him of his reality and royalty... He also knows it sucks to have the wind taken out of you. Even if you deserve it. They're both going through it, obvs.

Zuko shrugs lightly, lowering his hands and extinguishing the flame as quickly as he conjured it, not wanting to be a sore winner, as tempting as it was. ]


Really? Again? What's it matter now? It's not like I'm royalty here, after all — I don't need to look the part anymore, technically... which I do, by the way, now that you finally believe me, but still.

"Yes, though many people are tempted despite the risk. Used correctly, it can give you permanent minor elemental powers."

Are you ready for Frozen 2, Takao? This time Takao won't be playing the role of Anna and her freezing heart, however. No, he'll be witnessing Midorima reach out to touch Takao's drink. The water promptly freezes near the edge of the glad and the glass gets frosty.

"Cordis has an ice affinity. Iris is capable of electrical impulses. You would never have to charge your phone again."

He's noticed that Takao clearly is focusing in on Iris, so he won't bother during Sanguis unless he asks.

Sure, but... Why are you so attached to that term? I've already told you what I am, and "mutant" sounds so...

[Well, bad. Way to make him feel like a freak??

—But Louis shakes his head and sighs, regardless.]


No, never mind. It doesn't matter. Call me whatever makes it easier for you...

[To... cope, or whatever.]

[ Anduin looks around at the sound of a voice, visibly relieved to see a draenei is the one addressing him. Finally, a familiar sight in such a strange place!

The wave gets a bow of the head and Anduin says nothing on the Highness/Majesty thing. It trips him up sometimes too and he should know better than most.]


Things are alright, for the time being. Everyone I have met so far seems to be more than happy to give information when asked.

[ The High King pauses before shrugging inwardly. He's not even sure his rank follows him here.]

Is this place treating you well?

[personal profile] winscenario 2020-07-19 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
He's not, no. But I'll find a way.

[ Jim's tone should be an all too familiar one, to Spock. The kind of tone that implies he won't let it happen any other way, and he's not going to just give up until he gets what he wants. Years may have passed, but he still doesn't believe in no-win scenarios.

Spock's observations make Jim smile a little, shoulders relaxing just so. ]


Well, usually asking the name is a good start. [ Just saying, where else would Spock begin? ] It's Erik, by the way.

If I were to ever embark on something like this I would have thought it would be at Urameshi’s request. And yet.

[ and yet the spirit detective isn’t here. Yet anyway. ]

A month at most. [ and there’s one of those venomous looks out of the corner of those red eyes. As if to say he was daring Shishi to say anymore. Though; now he’s curious -]

What is the last thing that happened, back in our world, for you?

[ That's Robin, alright... as collected as ever.

She's a balm for the soul. If an ever-present part of Usopp wants to spend all his time feeling complicated feelings about whether it's good or bad to have more of them turn up here, well, he's ignoring it for a while. Even he couldn't last being that negative 24/7. ]


A lot more now that you're here! [ And that is the whole truth, nothing but. Even if being kidnapped in the first place is, as always, a pain in the ass. ] You're okay, right? This city could be worse so far, but there are still some crazy things going on... they hand you a lot to try to deal with on your own once they get you to that main hub. It could give some of my stories a run for their money!

[ Which, like. Rude. He worked very hard on those. ]

"That must be the magic that guy was talking about...."

Then it's magic from Midorima in front of his eyes, he yanks himself backward in surprise and he freezes (not literally, thankfully). Looking several times between Midorima and his glass.

"What the hell Shin-chan." He reaches out, touching the glass tentatively, then he snatches his finger back. That's cold, and he is not risking reprising his role as Anna's frozen heart. He would rather stay a warm, fluff of a hawk thank you very much.

"So few days a month I get to be a magician, that isn't so bad. But all I can do is charge a phone?" That kind of sucks, but at least it's something kind of cool on top of all the crazy this place gives him. Being able to use electrical impulses could come in handy too.

"Please tell me I won't turn into a human lightning rod."

I... I guess so, if you tried them already?

[She haven't sit on the chairs yet. So for all she knows, the carpet might be nicer to sit on? She walks over towards a chair, which isn't that far away from the girl. After turning it, she sits on it and face the girl.

... Hm, not a bad chair?
]

I wouldn't say it's strange, if you're not used to them. That just means you'll have to slowly get used to them if you want to.

[Now that he's no longer flailing about, Ingrid's able to gradually swim over towards shore, or the ledges, whichever is closer.]

It's good to see you too, Professor. I'm relieved that I'm not the only one here.

[She was incredibly suspicious of everything at first, along with being confused.]

... I'm doing well, I think. I admit everything here are completely new to me.

[From technology level to something as simple as cultural shock. It's definitely nothing like her homeland, after all. They're getting closer to shore, soon.]
luinlancer: ([Knight] Surprised)

[personal profile] luinlancer 2020-07-19 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Who else is here?

[If Felix is here, it's not strange to imagine others from their army being... brought here as well. However it works, and she's still grasping the information she received since her arrival.]

Alright...

[As Felix takes her arm, Ingrid blinks for a moment before letting him. And blinks again when she realises the growing, light warmth she's feeling. It's coming from where Felix's hand are touching her arm.]

I'm still cold, but... I'm also feeling warmth as well.

[Which makes her frozen arm easier and easier to bare.]
spectralsnipe: (Stoic)

[personal profile] spectralsnipe 2020-07-19 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely not.

[Not even a second of hesitation there. Sorry W. He knows that the Yetis are big on calling FrostNova things like that but... Yeah it's a bit much for him to start doing, especially right off the bat. Just keep nagging him about it.]

So what's second then?
luinlancer: ([Knight] Your order?)

[personal profile] luinlancer 2020-07-19 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She slowly nods, bringing a hand to her chin as she thinks about it.]

It does make sense when you put it like that.

[Using objects to channel something... isn't exactly strange as an idea, really. She just prefers wielding weapons.]

Is it particularly hard to use magic like that?

[Hm, if her Professor is here, it's definitely a question she would bring up to him.]

[Faust looks between the offered hand and the other's face. His caution doesn't seem to be completely out of distrust though- there's something else behind it. Something like concern.]

... I'm sick. You probably shouldn't be touching me casually.

[And that's not just a thinly-veiled excuse.

Even though the doctors who examined him seemed more curious over his Oripathy than actually concerned it's still difficult for him to get accustomed to the idea of touching uninfected people. It was odd enough to not be treated with disgust and disdain just for walking around, to not have to be tested and to be allowed to openly go wherever he wants... But despite the lack of prejudice Faust doesn't know for sure whether or not the disease can still spread here and- line of work aside- he doesn't actually want anyone to suffer because of him.]
spectralsnipe: (Default)

[personal profile] spectralsnipe 2020-07-19 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[... An odd question that raised others, but Faust figured it was harmless enough.]

It's called Terra. The technology of this place is a little more advanced I guess, but not by too much. [He tilted his head, considering.]

... As far as "characteristics" there are the Catastrophes. They're essentially giant natural disasters that have made most cities become nomadic to avoid them. If that sort of thing is a problem here I haven't heard about it.

[ Spock definitely recognizes that tone of voice and expected nothing less. If they are to find a way home, it's only logical that people would be able to traverse the "multi-verse" at will. However, there has already been evidence suggesting the whole loss of memories and leaving the planet without warning thing. They'd just have to find a new way, find hope when there is none. They're good at that.

If there is another way, they'll find it. He desperately hopes there's another way, for Jim's sake.

He nods once he has a name to the face and endeavors to look Erik up. Um, later. Quietly. ]


If it is not too invasive of me to ask, I wish to meet him. My assumption is that you've spent a large amount of time on this planet in his company, and I would like to get to know those you have grown close to. [ Seems illogical so skids right past that. ] Tell me, what are his interests?

[Chill of a good kind runs rattling down her spine at her tentacle being caressed. Although she manages to stop any weird sound from leaving her throat, her body did shiver and those rabbit ears twitching along.

The tease gets Soundwave to turn her gaze back to Erune, and upon seeing the tentacle wrapped around her hand, an 'ah' escapes her. If the teasing keeps coming, her face will likely stay red all night.]


It's acting on its own. My apologies. [Shooting an apologetic look, said tentacle does unwrap itself before she continues on with the chatting.] These... ah, tentacles. My 'hair' isn't like this on a normal day-- when the Iris moon is up, my hair usually transformed into this... mass of tentacles.

Take all the time you need, friend.

[ Those soft ears give a reflexive flick as Asteffiel reaches over, the Exarch obligingly tilting his head forward and then remaining still. The cool touch does surprise him in a 'he should have known' sort of way. Of course a seedkin would have a lower body temperature no matter how lively.

This close Asteffiel may be able to recognize the 'blue' for what it is: solid crystal growing through the Exarch's body, miraculously pliant with his movements even as it remains solid to the touch. It catches the bright sunlight and scatters it, creating a wild pattern of dotted light reflected up against the leaves before they cast their shadow over it completely.

His ears pull back to fit under the broad leaves, the Exarch accustomed to the feeling as much as letting them stand free. ]


...

[ Staying still isn't difficult but staying quiet is another matter. The job isn't yet finished but already the Exarch feels worlds better. Asteffiel's cooling touch gets a soft sigh out of him before he can help it, the color of his cheeks turning pink under the growing leaves. ]

[ A month. That's not so bad. Shishi wasn't leaving a lot behind like some people, frankly; who was he going to miss, truly, Suzuki? Maybe... Touya? Jin? Even his friends annoyed him, although surely he'd come to miss them in time, especially the clown... At least he wasn't doing anything so crucial at home at the time that he couldn't afford a month or two off. He's still trying to convince himself this will be temporary; Da Nile ain't just a river in Egypt, Shishi... ]

Well... I suppose the major thing would be that Enki won the tournament a while back, declared peace between Ningenkai and Makai... But personally, I've just been training under Genkai with the other guys since then. You?

tamaki skids to a halt as hikaru collides with the piano, eyes wide at the suddenness of it all. Hikaru! that definitely hurt, and there isn't even a moment of thought given to being grateful to the large piano that has finally stopped this chase. a host has been injured!

tamaki didn't even notice it either -- it's almost as if their lives are littered with happenstances driven by comedic timing and convenience.

nevermind that, though -- tamaki rushes over and immediately is in hikaru's personal space, kneeling to fawn over his underclassman.


Hikaru, are you alright? Papa is here...would a kiss make the bump any better? for as much as he was just concerned for their current situation and emotional states, it's easy to fall back into the comfortable dynamics of togetherness. at the very least this is a spot of normalcy, for as...not normal as it actually is.

Will that hold it all...?

[ His robes are quite heavy after all, but (while it takes some doing to get through all the layers) as they come off behind the changing room curtain, already the Exarch begins feeling better. The heat still bears down but it is no longer trapped against his body, to say nothing of the Chroma boost that all of Felih's affection has provided.

The exuberant Seeker gives little time for him to become embarrassed, though the Exarch's modesty does see to it that he changes clothes on his own. After a time he emerges from the booth's curtain, wearing the least he's had in many an epoch. His sandals, armbands, and staff are all that remain of his usual attire, the rest rolled up neatly into the bag.

Felih is offered a timid smile, sunlight glittering off the crystal of his shoulder and chest easily through the mesh fabric. ]


Before we head off...thank you, Felih. I am not too proud a man to admit that I was wrong: these clothes do feel a great deal more comfortable in this heat.
seasoflight: (drawn over shoulder smile)

[personal profile] seasoflight 2020-07-19 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure we can fold and roll it all up to fit- I'm an expert at packing clothes.

[ Felih is eager to help how he can, and by the time the Exarch finally emerges from the changing room, his tail is fluffed up and quivering excitedly. He beams at the man, clearly thrilled to see him more comfortable- but admittedly also distracted by just how beautiful the crystal looks with the light glittering off of it.

He takes the Exarch's free hand and squeezes it happily. ]


I'm glad you're more comfortable, darling! The last thing I would want is for you to collapse from exhaustion... even the indoors isn't a guarantee of reprieve from the heat, with how even the cooling systems in this place are struggling and failing to keep up with the workload.

So light clothes are crucial, now more than ever!

[ Felih happily bunts up under the Exarch's chin, before leading him out. ]

Will you come swim with me?

tamaki nods as he turns a stove burner on and sets the kettle on to boil. it's true -- who they were before they were here doesn't much matter now that they're in a new place with no transfers of status. but it also means that this fellow young man isn't a native, nor did he gain his prestige here. they really are in a similar boat.

It's true that who we were before this situation isn't really of consequence here...but it also feels a little freeing, no? A lot has been lost, but a lot of potential has been gained.

being a wealthy heir is a huge part of who tamaki is, but he's still himself even removed from that situation. there isn't a family here for him, through blood or bond, which is a catastrophic loss -- though certainly not a burden to place on anyone else. still, there's a certain allure to being on a level playing field with everyone else, now a common man himself. nothing expected of him, no pressure to be the dutiful and shining suoh son, status as a bastard not at all of consequence.

-- but he'd rather be rich and surrounded by his loved ones than an everyman, all alone.


At least where titles are concerned, anyway.

If that other is the Chosen, then good: this is as it should be, him surrounded by his Brothers. And for the Chosen, for Somnus, for all of those in the Lucis Caelum line, their lives belong to the Star first and foremost.

To that end, they must return. ]
