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.
▶ 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.
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.
▶ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

no subject
I thought I'd never see you again... !
no subject
If he understood what he was told correctly, though, time was a bit weird here. He was dumb, but not dumb enough to totally misunderstand everything he was told about this place. ]
Have you been here long?
[ He put her down, but continued hugging her close. Nope, not letting go of sister. ]
no subject
Too long!
[It's said with a sob trickling into a relieved laugh, refusing to look up at him while she's still crying. He's always so much warmer than her but even in the summer heat that is more than a welcome feeling.]
It felt like an eternity without anyone else here...
no subject
Have some backrubs, sister. He totally understands needing that. ]
Sorry ... You know as well as I do that neither of us have any control over these kinds of things, but I still feel bad for leaving you on your own.
no subject
Not that she was gunning for it before, but it's all the more reason to be careful now.]
Tsk. Like I'd blame you for something like this...
[She moves only to give him a light pinch on the arm teasingly.]
You're here. That's all that matters.
[But speaking of being here, she finally looks up to get a good glance around and--
Good lord, that is some garish, painful yellow.]
... I do think you broke it, though.
no subject
He reacted in a slightly exaggerated manner to being punched in the arm, all in good fun. It didn't hurt, but he rubbed his arm and made a face as though it did. ]
Oww ...
[ He grins, letting her know he was kidding. Of course, then there was the issue of the lights. ]
Yeah, I'd say so. I don't know how to turn it back to normal. Where's Taimi when you need her?
no subject
[Taimi may be of age in a place like Prismatica, given that the minimum Ana has encountered has been fifteen, but she really doesn't need to be here. Not in her condition.]
... want to ditch it? I already have a place.
no subject
He definitely missed the asura daughter, though, and he could definitely use her expertise with technology right about now. ]
Sounds like a good idea. I'd rather be around someone I know right now anyway. That goes double for people related to me.
[ Well, okay, that mostly just applied to Ana .... Their siblings could sometimes be a bit much. Especially the other set of twins who were Shining Blade. ]
no subject
Hell, Faren would fit in and probably love every last drop of attention.
Ana would agree, though - Rurik is fine. The rest of their adopted siblings... maaaybe not so much. Ana doesn't need Auguste shaming her love life here.]
Aww, listen to you, already being so sweet.
[It's said in her usual teasing tone, but she genuinely does feel better already with him here. She does remove herself from the hug but takes his hand with a gentle squeeze and leads him out of the poor forever-yellow apartment, stopping only to snag her dropped shoes off the floor.]
Ah-- ... you're not going to have a change of clothes yet. Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm no stranger to you walking around in your underwear~
no subject
I guess that works in my favor. I'll need to get some new clothes eventually, though. The stuff underneath my armor is not as fresh as I'd like them to be ...
no subject
[All the landscaping in the world would do absolutely shit all about the heat.]
Luckily the chroma needed for clothing in most of the stores isn't awful.
[She could ask one of the men she knows here for some loaners, but who would even have clothes that would fit Ruirk? Both Ozpin and Professor Sycamore were much skinnier, and she only just got to know Cu fairly recently. Too soon to ask a favor of, certainly.]
I could pop out tomorrow morning and grab you a change at least.
no subject
[ He knew Ana would be ok with it even if he never paid her back, but he liked to offer it. ]
no subject
[You kind of just give what you give depending on the action and it's not an exact science.]
Everything cheap is already closed by now so I'll have to head out in the morning.
[She paused at her door and stretched with her shoes loosely in one hand before swiping her communicator in front of the panel, the door clicking lightly.]
Mmm, I went out to one of the other cities and only just got back. If nothing else you got here at an interesting time. We only got access to Amegahara and Lestalia in the past few weeks.
[Inside the lights flicker on to a much less blinding apartment, all the colors more natural in browns and greens, most of the green being all the plants she has around. Because of course she does.]
