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.

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.

That is the thing with Takao, he knows without Midorima saying it, he needs him, he appreciates him being here. Maybe the guy is on to something with this whole fate thing Takao thinks to himself as he brushes his teeth. What are the odds that right at moment he was probably most needed this place decided to bring him along after a year? Well, he's definitely hanging with Midorima enough to start to buy into those things on some level, not nearly as much as the shooter but enough to give the universe a small nod.
Thinking about doing his own stretches as soon as he steps into the hallway the point guard stops, he stares for a second, and then he loses it. It's that slow sputter, that immediately builds up into the full-blown laugh. That is an unbelievably cute and hilarious sight, he may fall on his backside at this rate.]
Are you helping Merlin? [Still snickering, no help what so ever at the moment.]
no subject
Merlin likes stretching.
[ Now Midorima is going to do something on purpose though. He pats the floor in front of him and changes to this position, which Merlin copies with him in his own dog stretch way. ]
no subject
Fantastic, you trained him to stretch.
[Sorry Midorima right now Merlin is not the only cute one, the shooters tail and ears make this moment incredibly hilarious for Takao. Though, his usual mode of being impressed at the things Midorima can accomplish like teaching Merlin to stretch with him. He is winding down now but not without one or two more sputters.]
That's the best thing I've seen all day.
[Takao drops giving enough distance for Midorima and Merlin and shifts into his stretching routine. Eyes still lit up with amusement.]
no subject
You need to stretch before bed too, Takao.
no subject
[Which he is, not even thinking as he begins much like Merlin minus the climbing on Midorima, he matches his stretches to the shooter. That there is an occasional snicker at Merlin's antics, he can not help it.
Takao will be more than amused to watch Midorima training Merlin to participate. Though, who else except Midorima would be impressive enough to train his dog to follow through his stretching routine. He will deny it, but he can't help the quick fond glance and smile at Midorima while he is stretching. One day maybe he won't be so impressed by him, but honestly, Takao kind of hopes not.
He does not even notice he does it. ]
no subject
Midorima smirks at him. ]
no subject
He pokes his tongue out at Midorima and his smirk, then stretching again, he is careful with the pup just in case. Looks like the point guard is just as amused with the pup on his head and he was with him on Midorima's.]
Don't help him, his ego will only get bigger.
no subject
[ Merlin's ego is a threat to society, to be honest. ]
no subject
[Takao slides down, plucks Merlin from his head and rolls over, looking up at the little guy where he holds him.]
Look at him, no way he's got an ego as big as Shutoku's ace.
[Of course, Midorima has earned his ego, there is no one who can do what he does exactly. Even Kise is just a copy cat, after all, not the original. Not that he is telling Midorima this.]
no subject
[ Midorima pushes up his own glasses dramatically. ]
You'll see.
[ The first time Takao has company over and Merlin comes barreling through one of the screen doors because Attention for Merlin is the top priority. The pup in question lets out a happy yap. ]
no subject
[That happy yap gets merlin another snuggle before Takao sets him down, he can't hold the little floof all the time as much as he may want to, instead he stretches from his position and into an upright one in a fluid motion.]
Except for his shoelace trick, that's low.
no subject
[ Either way, they're done with stretches now, so Midorima gets up and goes to climb into his bed. ]
Rest up, Takao. You'll have a full day of dealing with his ego tomorrow.
no subject
He befriends egos apparently. There is not even a complaint when Merlin joins him, in fact, Takao is happy to snuggle the pup.]
Night Shin-chan, see you in the morning. You too Merlin, you're a good boy.
