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.

 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.

▶ It’s Close to Midnight, Something Evil is Lurking in the Dark
10/08 - 10/25 | Level 1, Lunatia Square | top

Around this time, the Lunatians start preparing for what would normally be Geistnacht. However, given the recent revelation of Aracht as one of the Beasts of the Calamity, the locals have made the decision to change that holiday and have instead chosen to adopt the Moonblessed’s “Halloween” instead.

Thus, you may have found yourself approached by some curious Lunatians over the last week or so, interviewing you about your customs in an attempt to get closer to the Moonblessed as well as break away from celebration of any symbolism relating to the Beasts. The results of their efforts start to take shape this week as they welcome everyone to Lunatia Square for the planet’s first ever Halloween festival.

Rows upon rows of booths are lined with eager Lunatians in costumes of things that they believe cause the Moonblessed the most fear. You might find one Lunatian dressed in a t-shirt that says “crippling tax debt” while others have t-shirts that say “spiders,” “student loans,” or “commitment.” They will eagerly invite you to bob for apples, smash the ugly Ainfeil pinata for Demichroma gem prizes, and many other party games.

 B  It’s trending online: a large and detailed haunted house featuring newly developed Spookbots. These Spookbots will be convincingly dressed as popular monsters from old horror movies from other worlds, such as Frankenstein, Dracula, Bambi, and many more. They may have gotten some wrong information about that last one... Regardless, the locals are loving these monsters judging from the constant screams in the area.

The Spookbots are programmed to execute well-timed jumpscares as you venture in through the creaky floors and barely lit hallways. However, a certain glitch in the Spookbots causes their safety protocols to run on overdrive. This means they may stop mid-scare to suddenly hug and cuddle you, comforting you and whispering sweet nothings in your ear about how you’ll be alright. You’re safe now. No need to be afraid.

Meanwhile, Bambi’s safety protocols will be entirely disabled. The budget might have run out for this one. Should you run into this deer-shaped robot in the dark, it will bare its teeth and attempt to maul you. It might be a good time to run into the safe, protective arms of the Swamp Thing right about now.

▶ She Wants to Lead the Glamorous Life
10/14 | top

On the raised stage, Prissy Polyp will be sponsoring a couples costume contest. All participants will walk away with a nice prize of a Halloween-themed “moonlacing” basket: complete with sweet candy-scented lube and scented mood candles, a xeno monster vibrator, edible liquorice lingerie, and a high-end collection of sexy autumn and winter clothing.

You’ll earn more winning points if the costumes are themed together or matching! The top couple costumes will receive four tickets to an all-expense paid vacation to the much coveted Milky Way, a luxury space station which features out of this world cuisine and extremely breathtaking outer space sceneries!

The Milky Way’s facilities include love rooms for couples, a cocktail bar serving the finest liquors, a private pool with crystal-infused waters (it’s said that these waters can invigorate your health and beauty). Only VIPs with tickets are allowed on-board, so only a lucky few get to experience this. It’s the perfect chance to propose with the Rings of Eternal Promise!

 C  Didn’t bring a costume with you or you don’t know how to design a good set? There’s no need to worry. The doting Lunatians are eager to provide you with advice on how to create a costume set using Chromawear. Just slip it on, close your eyes, and think of what you wish to look like. Your clothing and/or entire form will suddenly match whatever your thoughts conjured up.

The venue around the contest does come with a side effect that affects people within the area which causes those in costume to act more like whatever glamour they chose as the minutes pass on by. It’s for the sake of more in-character photo-ops! Wearing a sexy doctor outfit? You might start taking everyone’s temperature the -ahem- traditional way. Or wearing the ass portion of a donkey costume? Well, let’s just say you’re going to have a rough time.

These side effects will naturally fade away after an hour.

▶ I’ll Take You to the Candy Shop
10/14 - 10/15 | top

As evening approaches, the dance floor will open for the Oktoberfest midnight parties. Flashing lights will shine across sweaty, gyrating bodies in costumes as the Moonblessed are encouraged to relax and let their hair loose. Among many drinks across the streets, the glowing neon green drink “Witch’s Brew” (despite its name, it does nothing but refresh you) will be served in beakers, while a hearty steam will be released from smoke machines that will subtly encourage the unwilling to join in on the dance.

You will find yourself wanting to embrace the night, bust a move, or go trick-or-treating from house to house until your legs are ready to fall off instead of wanting to go home and hide under the covers.

 D  You can also make your own customized candy by using the Wonkatron 5000. All you have to do is choose a wrapping, the flavor, the candy type (lollipop, chocolate bar, gum ball, etc.), and optional minor magical effects (love potion, sleepy spell, aphrodisiac, etc. It’s all up to you!).

Once you’re satisfied, watch the machine spit out your completed product. Will the candy be blissfully appetizing or something barely edible? It all depends on your creativity! You can hand them out to your friends or to strangers who come a’knockin’ at your door.

QUESTIONS

[prismods]

shirou emiya | fate/stay night | cordis

[reproducing]

▶ Welcome to the Jungle
A. [The sights and sounds surrounding him are almost overwhelming. This place seems something out of a video game or movie rather than his own life (and that's saying something). He still doesn't exactly understand why he's been brought here even if he's been told. Yet if he's been brought to help, he'll find a way to help. Summoning someone from another world isn't easy generally unless you're like him and accidentally summon King Arthur herself.

He's walking around the neighborhood, looking at his surroundings. Maybe he's a little too distracted by his own thoughts and what's around him, bumping into the person in front of him.]

▶ It’s Close to Midnight

B. [It doesn't take long for Shirou to realize this place is celebrating Halloween or some version of it. That's not what really shocks him, but the fact Halloween is in October. Did summoning him here take this long? Last time he checked, it was nowhere near the fall months. If Saber or Tohsaka were with him right now, he'd feel like they'd somehow know more about this than him.

He's been asked by locals about Halloween, but it seems his answers were a bit disappointing to them. They might be pulling from the more American Halloween. He knows people mostly just dress up, some people really getting into it, and there's candy and themed parties. He's not someone super into Halloween, but it's nice to see people having fun and celebrating together. For a world that needs his help, it seems calm, but even he knows there's probably more to things than then what he's seeing on the surface.

He gets roped into hitting a piñata somehow. Someone just shoved a bat at him and encouraged him to break it. He thinks it's easier just to partake and get it over with than find a way out of this whole thing. So he takes a swing, whacking the piñata rather hard. It flies off a couple of meters away towards a person, cracking open and spilling its contents.]

▶ The Glamorous Life

C. [Once again he finds himself involved with the local Halloween-ish celebrations here. Multiple people have already tried to get him to pair up with him for some sort of costume party. He's politely turned them down, but some are getting forceful. He's seen some people in some amazing costumes, though. He starts to wonder what Saber would think of Halloween and what costumes she and Tohsaka would wear. This causes a blush to form across his cheeks. Maybe this isn't the best place to think about Tohsaka and Saber weaTohsakag costumes, especially in public.

He's really starting to notice that he's by himself when most people are couples. He's a little flustered by how openly affectionate people are. Halloween isn't supposed to be a romantic holiday, is it? It'd be nice to do something fun with Tohsaka and Saber after everything that's happened. They'd probably end up winning the costume contest knowing how competitive both Saber and Tohsaka could be.]

▶ The Candy Shop

D.[If Shirou thought the daytime celebrations were pretty wild, the night's even crazier. The atmosphere must have gotten to him as he feels like he wants to dance. Has he even felt that way before? He can't even remember feeling that way. Seeing others dance and have fun can't be the only reason he's feeling this way.

At least for now he's resisting the temptation to dance. He'd probably make a foold out of himself if he were to dance anyway. Instead, he decided to keep himself occupied by making his own candy. Maybe he can save some and take it back home for the others. He starts to think about what sorts of candies people back home would like. Girls like chocolate, right?

As he's thinking, he might be taking a little too long, holding up the line waiting to use the Wonkatron 5000.]

[ooc: Shirou's from unlimited blade works good end! I'm still thinking about his blessing. For now, I'll keep it at Cordis. If you want to do something else or have any questions, you can PM this account or contact me at plurk (galge)]

takes forever to choose between welcome and piñata but welcome!!

[greedyvixen]

[Rin's completely in her own thoughts too and so she doesn't even notice Shirou either before they bump into each other. Literally. She almost says something, then she sees who that is and she's quiet for a tiny moment. Huh, it's new arrivals time already? And returning people time too, she kind of assumes he's either returning or at least definitely not from her timeline. Of course she shouldn't assume things like that but it'd be just her luck.

Rin smiles. It's polite, cute and friendly, still maybe not completely like the happiest ones, that he's used to seeing. She's got to keep some things for her timeline's boy only.]

Ah, you're back. Good!

[She's been here for a year and generally speaking, she's glad to see him from any timeline.]

Welcome to the Jungle.....

[rippingu]

[That Kaji has his own set of problems he is worried about is a definite. He is hoping to move them out of the starter apartment for his birthday. Has been working his behind (And his front if he's honest) off to gather chroma, between two jobs, the band, and his extracurricular activities, it is no wonder he is a little distracted.

So much so that he does not see the young man coming and the young man does not see him. At six-one, he is tall for a Japanese male, pale and light haired too, but his head nod in apology is automatic as he turns to look at the person who just ran into him or perhaps who he was blocking while he looked at the house on his device.]

You okay?

Midnight

[justicedevil]

[ Thankfully for her, Videl manages to see the speeding piñata headed right for her face before it's close enough to hit her and rather expertly dodges out of the way so that it could smash open on the ground.

Though she doesn't waste time with turning her attention towards where the pinata came from and glaring at the guy who was holding the bat. And also pretty much storming right over to him.]

What the hell were you doing? It's a piñata, not a baseball! You don't need to send it flying to break it open!

C. The Glamorous Life

[sealingpower]

Zelda had also been noting the well-done costumes of the various couples around the venue. She hadn't quite picked out a costume herself yet as it was a couples contest and she was very aware that she was alone. Oddly enough, Zelda hadn't been approached by many Lunatians who wanted to pair with her.

She found herself thinking about Link. Though she had only started to enjoy his company after he saved her from the Yiga Clan's attempt on her life, this was one of those times where she wished her knight were here with her.

Zelda may have been so absorbed in her thoughts, as well as observing the contestants that she didn't notice the red headed boy and backed straight into him.

"Watch where you're..." she turned and started to scold when she realized she had been the one in the wrong.

"Oh... I'm sorry." she admitted begrudgingly as her anger gave way to shame.

Jungle

[battlefrenzy]

[Cu notices him and has enough time to stop them from bumping into one another, but he doesn't feel like it. He lets it happen and then just grins.]

Yo, kid. Long time no see.

[His arm is normal, so this is definitely not the Shirou they had earlier. Not that it meant it would be "their" Shirou automatically. Who knows how many timelines there were.]

Mamoru Chiba | Sailor Moon

[reincarnatedprince]

Welcome to the Jungle (Closed to one Usagi Tsukino)

[The closer Mamoru got to Lunatia, the stronger the feeling got that Usagi was somewhere near. His Usako was here and he needed to find her right away. Ever since being revived in the Galaxy Cauldron he's only wanted to hold her in his arms.

He runs out of the shuttle and in the direction his instincts pull him.]


Haunted House

[Things Mamoru expected from a haunted house: creepy things and horrors that he most likely wouldn't get scared of.

Things he did not expect: hugs and cuddles from a Draculabot who thinks he's scared.]

Thank... you? I'm fine. No need to... uh...

[Help...?]

Costumes

[It would be cheating if he just chose to wear Tuxedo Mask for the costume right? Not that anyone knew about that, most likely, but maybe he should at least try something different.

So he thinks about it for a while and the first thing that pops into his mind is actually Sailor Moon because of course he thinks about Usagi first... but that didn't mean he should dress like her! But the chromawear costume has already decided and now we have Mamoru Chiba dressed up as Sailor Moon.]

I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for love and Justice! I am Sailor Moon! And now in the name of Moon I'll punish you!

[Hi, yes, he did just say her catchphrase and pose like she does. He has some sense to actually blush but otherwise the effect of acting like his character keeps the facade on.]


Wildcard

Hit me up with anything or plan with me through PM's, sasageyo or on Discord (Shiranna#8997).

1/2

[starshaper]

[One moment their connection is gone, poof, not there at all ever since-- that day, and she expects the same to continue here too. What are the chances of him or anyone else showing up? She has no idea, she just thinks it may be even more likely that she should wait until she returns home to see everyone again.

Then. Suddenly her bond to him returns. For real, it's not a dream or a nightmare this time... She's been having a lot of those. Dreams and nightmares, dreams that turn into nightmares and waking up here feeling like a neverending nightmare, when she'd rather be home but she'll be stuck here until they decide to return her there. But no. Right now she's awake as far as she knows, gasping says that much too and it feels way too real to be anything else than real.

Usagi drops everything else with whatever she's doing (she'll have to clean tea from the floor later) and she's running to him as fast as she can.]

Costumes

[liveandforgive]

[ Cloud hasn't been fitted into a costume just yet. But needless to say, coming face to face with "Sailor Moon" was bringing back many memories. A tall, handsome man is rocking the twintails and even pulling off the pose. And Cloud's...aware of who this is supposed to be? But who the hell was cosplaying her?! Somebody's unaware that Usagi's returned to Prismatica. ]

... That's-

[ Accurate. ...? ??? ]

Haunted House for a Full Set!

[weedlikespirit]

Th-there, there!

[ A hand finds the top of the Draculabot's... shoulder and proceeds to pat it gently, reassuringly, repeatedly. ]

See? He's feeling much better!

[ Shiemi laughs a little nervously. She also expected -- and has encountered -- creepy things and horrors that, um... well, she really wasn't sure what to expect and she has been scared some, but this person looked like he needed help, so... hopefully with a little extra assurance the Fanged Mister will go back to work? ]

Zagreus | Hades

[cthonicallydies]

[ ooc: only planning to TDM! ]

Welcome to the Jungle;

[ This places is almost nothing like the Underworld. For starters, nearly everything is alive. It's throwing Zagreus for a bit of a loop. A small part of him is grateful to finally be free, to have escaped his father, but another part of him is wish he was back in Tartarus. He wanted to escape because he beat Hades and not because his body ended up here instead of coming out of the Pool of Styx after his latest defeat. Well, no matter, until this whole mess is sorted out, Zagreus will make the best of it. It's his first extended period away from home and there's almost a thrill of excitement running through him because of it.

As of right now, he's currently settling in his new home and if you were to open the door, you'll hear loud barking and the sound of paws beating against the floor before a dog jumps at your legs, barking up a storm. ]

Sorry about that. He's quite excitable. And I don't think he's quite gotten used to his new size.

[ It's worth noting that the dog has very distinct red fur.



Oh. And also three heads. ]

Minutes to Midnight;

[ A house of the dead that sounds like the worst nightmares of the living? Why does this sound familiar...? Zagreus is chuckling as he walks into the haunted house. The jump scares do nothing to frighten him. He's seen and fought worst horrors running through the levels of the Underworld.

But it's still good fun.

Even if he's confused when a Frankenbot jumps out and hugs him and won't let him go. ]

I get that you're trying to keep me safe, but I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now. If you'd prefer to keep your arms attached, I suggest you let go.

[ He sounds good natured, but there is a slight edge to his tone. Maybe you should keep him from breaking the nice animatronics. ]

Dance Til You're Dead;

Well, there's certainly a God I know who would be very disappointed to be missing a party like this.

[ In honor of his cousin, Zagreus will certainly be busting a move. Care to join him? ]

Wildcard;

[ I'm down for anything! Feel free to comment here or shoot me a PM at lycanroc or wolf#7836 ]

Minutes to Midnight

[tsukky]

[ Tsukuyo had recently been on the receiving end of a similar interaction with a very cuddly Draculabot. She's been on this planet long enough by now to expect this kind of touchy feely interaction, even from what is supposed to be a haunted house.

The stranger in front of her however looks very new to this and she's not one to ignore someone in need of assistance. ]

The bots won't let go of ya.

Not sure if it's unintentional or a deliberate misunderstandin' but you'll just have to get free... Just, try not to snap the thing's arms off. [ Just ignore the fact that she very nearly almost did that to her own robot earlier. ]

I can help if ya need it?

Jyushi Aimono 🐷 Hypnosis Mic 🐷 Iris

[bigcrybaby]

▶ WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
[It would be rude not to greet the neighbors. If something should happen, he would like for them to allow him to rely on them for safety. Being in a new place alone is terrifying; who knows what people are like here.

Jyushi tries his best not to focus on these thoughts, but they still plague him. He is, however, grateful that not only does he have a place to live, but that he has his source of comfort with him. It's only unfortunate that it does not completely ease his mind.

It's okay, he tells himself. The only thing worse than how terrifying this is would be not trying to do anything at all and letting his fear win, and he couldn't possibly do that, not when he expects better of himself. Not when Amanda knows all.

He takes a moment longer in his room to mentally prepare himself to greet Whoever Is Out There, then finally wills himself out to face them.]

Greetings! [He says loudly, posing dramatically.] It is I, your Neighbor of Darkness. I beg of thee to listen to my fervent plea. If I cry out of mercy, please do not look upon me with uncaring eyes. I am merely a soul seeking salvation.


▶ IT’S CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT, SOMETHING EVIL IS LURKING IN THE DARK
[He would look cool if he conquered the haunted house. Jyushi very hesitantly starts to walk towards it. There may be so many things in there that inspire him aesthetically and be useful for his visual kei career. The problem, though, is that even before getting near the haunted house is the sound of someone screaming that sounds awfully close, making him extremely uncomfortable and frightened.]

Wha?!

[He doesn't see anything out of the ordinary, which only makes the mysterious screaming worse, and scares him to tears.]

Wahh!! [He sobs, looking around in a panic.] Wahh Amanda!! We have to get out of here!


▶ I’LL TAKE YOU TO THE CANDY SHOP
[Making candy should be a fun activity that can bring him joy after a frightful experience. Jyushi goes for purple wrappers and chocolate bars.]

Hmm... [He hums, quiet and thoughtful as he looks over the magic effects.] Ah, maybe... this one!

[This is a serious decision. He only wants to use one of these and it has to be just the right one.

After he finally chooses one and adds a little magic to his chocolates, he watches eagerly as the machine works on bringing his creation to life, clasping his hands together excitedly.]

Ahh! I can't wait to eat one!


▶ WILDCARD
[Hewwo here is a chance to do whatever! DM me or hit me up on plurk at phantomrain if you wanna plan something for the final showdown!]

Welcome to the Jungle

[punkmonk]

[Kuko reached up and scratched his wolf ears on the way back to his apartment. He finally felt better after everything that's happened. He even learned how to cook a little more than before and with his favorite tea back in stock he could make it through the month. He walked up the stairs to his room when he stopped at the sound of a familiar voice.

Wait...wait...it couldn't be!

Kuko ran over to the source of the voice that confirmed his suspicions.]

Jyushi!? When did you get here?

[He didn't want Jyushi to be in such a world. There were too many weird things that goes on here! But he couldn't stop his grin at seeing Jyushi again or stop his tail from wagging. Damn sanguis!]

Jyushimatsu Matsuno (18) | Eiga No Osomatsu-San

[bruisednbattered]

[ WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE ]

[He just got here, and already he was biting back a migraine. Right. So. He was on a planet where 'no touch zone' wasn't a thing. This was 'all touch zone'. This was another planet, and it was 'all touch zone'. Normally, he'd be thrilled. And he wouldn't lie to himself - he was fascinated, but...

He was also there without a choice. Jyushimatsu approached the empty apartment, staring into it quizzically before sighing. Graduated, adult life, already out on his own. Fucking grand. He stepped inside, flicking the color switch to yellow.

That was a little better. Not much. Then he noticed someone at the door.]

...If you're looking to share, fuck off and check the room next door unless you've got something to offer me in return. [He snarled, as he flopped back onto his back and stared up at the ceiling.]

[ MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT ]

[So he'd been walking through this haunted house, dismissively snorting at the shitty jumpscares. That was, until he saw...]

Is that...is that a deer?

[That's when the deer ran forward and attempted to bite him. He jumped back, before snapping at it.]

OI, OI, OI! PIECE OF UNCOOKED VEAL! I'LL RIP YOU TO SHREDS, FUCKER!

[That's when a very protective, yet gentle Japanese ghost girl latched onto him in a hug.]

Fucking--LET GO OF ME, DAMMIT! I'M NOT LETTING THAT SHITTY DOE GET AWAY WITH THIS! GET BACK HERE AND FACE ME LIKE A MAN--LET GO OF ME!!

[The girl rubs circles into his back. Hush now, quiet now.]

[ GLAMOROUS LIFE ]

[He's supposed to think of any costume he wants...hm. He bit his lip, then thought hard on it...

Around him, a magical girl's costume begins to form--yellow, with big yellow ribbons, and he almost smiles, before realizing...]

Wait, SHIT, SHIT, THAT WAS JUST A TEST!

[...Too late.]

How do I--

[Someone approaches for a picture, and he poses in a cute way, pressing his skirt down with a peace sign.]

Kira~ happy Halloween, des--SHIT. FUCK. NO!

Rei Amayado | Hypnosis Mic | Cordis

[yenyenbill]

💸GOTTA DRIP 🕶️ (b)

[ Maybe his karma's finally followed him here. Years of separation from three kids left behind, the invention of a brainwashing device and the source of his own world's tyrannical government, Rei is finally getting what he deserves.

To be chased by a mad, animatronic deer.

He has to clutch his hat and coat as he hurries away from the robot, too cool to run but also not too cool to try and escape. Hustle, hustle. He's 46 years old, now. ]

Whoaaa...—, oy oy. [ There's a strange laziness to his voice, even if the buck is about to rake him up in its horns and throw him around. What if his bones pop out of place while running, huh? No matter what Rei does here, he's screwed. ]


💸SPIN IT NOW, SMOOTH CRIMINAL 🕶️ (c)

** This prompt suits characters, regardless of gender, who present classically feminine qualities. **

[ The Milky Way, they called this place. It's definitely more his style. After scamming his way into getting himself a VIP ticket, Rei's been spending a nice, long vacation aboard the ship, picking up prismal sugar babies just about whoever else he can. He takes a long drink of his sangria before sinking back into the fabric of the pool-side hammock.

As your character passes and readies themself to slip into the pool, Rei lowers his sunglasses to reveal a scar and eyes of two different colors. ]

Hey. Nice bathing suit. [ He grins wolfishly. ]


💸I KEEP PAPER CHASIN' 🕶️ (d)

How about a fortune telling, mm? It's only 36 demichroma for a spread. Everyone's in need a little spiritual guidance from time to time.
[ Rei's set up a shady stall in the corner of the festival, but even though this is a community profit event, he's taking the cash for himself. Not that anyone's aware. He's covered his tracks. ]

What do you say?


💸FACES FACES 🕶️ (wildcard)

[ Rei is existing in Prismatica now. Your character does what? Write me a starter here! ]

[glossophobia]

[ After a long day of teaching and making a stop to pick up groceries, Rosho is absolutely exhausted the moment he gets back to his apartment. He doesn't know if he'll have the energy to cook but he knows he needs to get some food in him, and there's also no telling if Sasara will want to come over to eat, it being Cordis and all. It's a good thing his front door is already ajar so he can simply let himself in—



what. ]

Sasara!!

[ Rosho yells as he enters then kicks the door closed. How did he even get in?! Cat burglar, more like fox burglar! ]

If you were that hungry ya should've told me and waited 'til I got home! At least close my front door, stupid! Ya better not have touched anything in my fridge yet!

[ He's not even sure how long he's been there but his apartment already smells like annoying cordis. ]

Hyesung Seo | Buried Stars | Sanguis

[phaterstar]

▶ WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

[Hyesung didn't have many memories of the trip into Lunatia, thanks to the fact that he spent most of the journey slumped against one of the windows, waiting for the numbing agent to wear off. It was probably for the best, though, considering he'd been incredibly stressed out before he'd mysteriously blacked out (he'd blame Do-yoon - a sabotage attempt?! - but he was sure he'd left the dressing room before everything went dark) and the last thing he needed was more stimuli. In a way, it was almost a relief; to have the hard choices taken out of his hands for a brief period.

When the ability to choose was returned to him, however, he was quick to make use of it; if you happen to be wandering through one of the Level 2 apartment buildings, you might hear someone having a fantastic time with the customization function. Whoever they are, they obviously don't care about being overheard, since the door is wide open.]

Fireplace or hot tub, fireplace or hot tub.....nah, gotta go with the hot tub....or both? Fire gives great lighting...

[Choices, choices....perhaps you could assist?]

▶ SHE WANTS TO LEAD THE GLAMOROUS LIFE

[It didn't take too much encouragement by the Prismals to get Hyesung involved in the costume contest; once he'd managed to escape the one wearing the 'LAST PLACE' shirt, anyway, who seemed frustratingly determined to follow him. He's quick to pull on the Chromawear once its function is explained to him, although if his hosts were expecting a creative or dramatic transformation...

...well, they end up disappointed, considering he just ends up looking like this, with an extra 15cm of height.]

This is perfect! I love it!

[And love it he does, if the way he quickly starts taking selfies with the bracelet has anything to do with it. If you're nearby, you might find yourself caught up in the flash, or catch Hyesung muttering to himself...]

Definitely fifteen, that was the right choice. Now I'm taller than Gyu-Hyuk....this place is great!

▶ I’LL TAKE YOU TO THE CANDY SHOP

[Determined to make the most of his halloween 'costume', Hyesung has spent some time with the Wonkatron 5000 and now has quite a nice collection of brightly-coloured candy he's shoved into an appropriately spooky tote bag. Where did the tote bag come from? Who knows! More importantly, who cares? He's got candy, two cups of Witches Brew (why just drink one when you could have two?), and he's the most successful idol Buried Stars has ever produced. Nothing can bring him down, at this point!

He's in such a good mood, in fact, that he's offering his mystery candy to any unfortunate passer-by who shows interest - or doesn't! Again, who cares? Feel thankful he's even offering! So if you happen to be in his general vicinity, he'll swing the tote bag around so the candy is in reach (surely you don't expect him to put one of his drinks down?)]

Hey! Want to try one? I made them myself.

[Have a wink, and...try at your own risk. Those candies had all the potential frills included - he may have gone a little heavy on the aphro.]

[If you want to do something completely different, I'm pretty easy! Just PM this journal or hit me up at typhie!]

candy shop

[scholarshipping]

Oh, sure, I'll--

[ Classic comedy of errors, right? Boy asks everyone who passes if they want some candy, another unsuspecting boy who is eager to please and bad at saying no says yes, only to find that they aren't strangers at all. Gyu-hyuk's eyes go wide, like he's seen a ghost. He'd managed to get through all the horrors of tdm prompt B just fine, only to be confronted with this.

And really, can he be blamed? After all, Hyesung might as well be a ghost. They'd all examined his body. He and Do-yoon and checked for wounds together. ]

S-seo Hyesung?

[ But he looks fine. No obvious head trauma, no bandages wrapping them. He seems...taller? But aside from that, the same as when Gyu-hyuk had seen him in the dressing room. Alive and well. And surely if this was meant to be another Halloween horror, they'd have accentuated the gore?

Gyu-hyuk's heart is pounding in his chest. People don't come back from the dead, how...how could this be happening? How could he look so cheerful? ]

Sinistra | Baroque (DRAGS HIM BACK IN)

[bisection]

A.

[ Uuuuugh.

What happened? How did it happen? He feels so fuzzy, like he's been in a weird blur for an extended period of time. He feels almost ill.

He has been, much to his chagrin, badgered by Lunatians. He's waved them off so many times. What traditions? What culture? There's none of that left where he's from. He just wants to lay down. He wants to cling selfishly to his brother and sleep comfortably beside him.

Sinistra just... needs to get the energy to get back there. He sits outside of the place he's shared with the Archangel until his upheaval, head in his hands. He wonders if Allura or Fiona are still here... he wonders if they'll hold his hand and help him feel a little better. He isn't sure he wants to face his brother in this state. ]

D.

[ Sinistra is exhausted by all of the festivities. He's got a bandage around his hand where he was bitten pretty hard by the demon Bambi in the haunted house. He just wants candy, but he's tired and nursing a beaker of Witch's Brew, consigned to a fate of being exhausted by the presence of the Lunatians. He didn't miss them.

He seems to be staring with longing at the people who are wandering from house to house for candy. He wants to go, but going alone is too much for him. Maybe drag him along as a willing partner in candy crime? ]

Keith | Voltron Legendary Defender | Sanguis(?)

[mosthumanblade]

▶ It's Close To Midnight

[ Keith has been given the general run-down of what's going on and why he's here, sort of, and while he isn't incredibly happy with the situation, it's not like he would have refused to help restore life to a planet if they'd just asked him. The problem being, of course, that they didn't ask him before just yanking him onto a strange moon, but apparently that's the fault of the gods, or whatever. At least the actual people, the Lunatians, were kind enough to give him a decent place to stay. But there's not a lot to do in his new apartment, so he figures he should do some exploring instead, since it seems like he's going to be stuck here for while. And it looks like there's a... Halloween celebration going on? Weird, but he sees someone wearing a t-shirt labelled "Student Loan Repayments" and asks a few questions, and figures out that they've picked up the traditions from the other Moonblessed, the ones who've been around longer.

He also gets ushered into taking a swing at a pinata, and sure, with the day he's had so far, taking out some of his frustrations on the colourful papier mache thing sounds like a good idea to him. He manages to smash it open quickly, to raucous applause, and then he. He's totally going to try eating one of those Demichroma gems that falls out unless someone stops him, pinatas are supposed to have candy inside.

Given he survives that minor embarrassment, he makes his way into a haunted house, which is just pleasantly spooky... until the robot Dracula decides to hug him. ]

Uhh, hey... I think this is on the wrong setting?

▶ She Wants To Lead The Glamorous Life

[ Keith isn't entering the couples costume contest for the rock solid reasons of not having anyone to be a couple with, and not knowing anyone here to even ask, so getting a VIP ticket to the fancy-sounding spa is right out. He doesn't really care about that, and wouldn't normally care too much about wearing a costume in the first place, but the Chromawear technology sounds cool, and he figures he might as well take the opportunity to try it for free. He puts it on and tries imagining a simple costume, nothing too flashy or dumb - just a kind of grungy goth-punk modern-witch vibe outfit with a magic-circle patterned t-shirt, more studded leather accessories than he'd normally wear, and ripped black jeans. It comes out a bit, uh, sexier looking than he'd intended, with his shirt baring his midriff and the jeans being really tight... And cat ears, tail, and leather collar. Hm. Those are an accident - he's been seeing a few Prismals wandering around in the crowd, noticing the animal traits some of them sport and remembering some of the stuff he's been told to expect as a Moonblessed, wondering what will happen to him come his full moon, if anything. And he associates black cats with Halloween and witches, so that's what he's ended up with. At least his set of animal features are clearly fake, a plush headband supporting the ears, and the tail attached to a belt.

Of course, he doesn't really know what kinds of effects afflict a Cordis Moonblessed under the sway of their moon. But since that's essentially what he's in costume as - a very goth-punk Cordis - well. As the side effect in the area strengthens its effect on him, he starts unwittingly producing pheromones. Lots of them. They're absolutely rolling off of him as he tries to make awkward conversation. ]

Hey, uh. Nice costume.

[ Also because they're Chromawear he can change them at will so at some point he decides to try bunny ears and tail because why not, and immediately finds himself having Iris problems instead. Please help him out. ]

▶ I'll Take you To The Candy Shop

[ Normally, Keith wouldn't be hugely interested in making his own candy, though he might just crank out some simple lollipops or something. But tonight, he's feeling the cat-like curiousity and witchy urge to experiment with magical effects thanks to his costume. He's pretty happy with making a coffee-cream filled chocolate bar, something dark and walking the line of bitter-sweet, but he frowns at some of the extra options, muttering half to himself. ]

Hm, aphrodisiac...? No thanks. [ He shakes his head. ] A sleep spell wouldn't work with coffee, so... I wonder if there's an energising spell instead.

▶ Let's Get Wild

[ Hit me with your own prompt! ]

Candy Shop

[hunksmash]

[ Predictably, the creation of food is the attraction that Hunk gravitates toward. He's mostly avoiding side-effects altogether, but he's already racked up quite a few flavor/candy type combos.

Seeing Keith surprises him for a moment, but... It's happened before! He has to conclude that the re-appearance of a teammate isn't that unusual.

So he sidles up and deliver a good, friendly thump to Keith's back. ] Hey, buddy, what's up?

[ Hunk's Cordis, too, so he's tabby-striped with cat-like pupils that narrow as he stares into the light of the machine that Keith's operating. ]

Energizing, huh...? You don't think the sugar and inherent caffeine in the chocolate and coffee is enough?

Edna Mode | The Incredibles

[supermodels]

▶ WALK WALK FASHION BABY

[Hey, you! You there, at the costume contest! Are you accepting constructive criticism? Well, too bad, because you're about to get it anyway, courtesy of the incredibly diminutive yet eerily severe woman who has taken up residence in the front row near the raised stage, armed with a sketchbook and a vaguely crazed gleam in her eye. If you somehow manage to get close enough to her to spy on what she's drawing — or just somehow stand behind her and happen to be tall — you might be surprised to notice that it actually has little to no relationship to the actual costumes. Rather, she's taking her inspiration from the aesthetic of the Prissy Polyp stage itself, creating silhouettes with quick strokes of her pencil that fall somewhere in the ballpark of a fusion between anthro chic and neon couture.

When the presentation eventually concludes, the woman blows a jet of air upwards from her bottom lip, making her bangs fly up in dismissive exasperation, and hops down out of her chair to begin to power-trot away. Of course, when you're as short as she is, it's only to be expected that sooner or later, her rapid weaving around people's legs and dodging costumes will result in someone knocking into her, sending her spilling to the ground.]

Watch where you're going, you grandiloquent troglodyte!

[The person who knocked her down, sensing their imminent demise radiating off the woman like a miasma, immediately turns tail and runs; as she gets to her feet, however, another passing guest accidentally kicks her fallen sketchbook and sends it skittering away across the ground.

And of course, the woman is having none of that, and bellows with an impressively loud voice to come out of such a small body: ]

You! Stop right there! Return my property at once!

▶ DRESS ME I'M YOUR MANNEQUIN

[Also of interest to Edna is, of course, the ability to manipulate Chromawear by thought alone — imagine the possibilities such a fabric could produce!

...No, no, not you. Don't get sidetracked imagining things like possibilities; that's Edna's job. Your job (however you got drafted into it) is to stand there in the Chromawear and imagine the things she tells you to imagine on command, while she hovers around and examines the effects from all angles, muttering commentary to herself all the way.]

Instantaneous reproduction by psychic transmission...precision to one millimeter...I did not tell you to move WHY ARE YOU MOVING.

[OOPS. Whatever you just did there — don't!]

Fascinating, simply fascinating, dahling. I see possibilities...

[To be fair, Edna could produce couture possibilities out of a Kleenex and a paper lunch bag, but that's not the point, now is it. The point is, she's rounding on you again, with a determined look in her eye.]

Now! You will envision a powerful memory — feel the emotion, let it flow from you! Chop chop, dahling, we're wasting time. I don't have all day, you know.

▶ WILDCARD

[Would you like an encounter with Edna somewhere else? Drop me a starter!]

[casaposa]

[How did he get here?

One minute he's walking down the sidewalk innocently thinking about his date tonight and suddenly this rando is yelling at him about fashion. He dresses just fine thank you. Abs are meant to be seen and what the hell is this tiny slip of a woman talking about??

But fine. Okay. He's dragged into this nonsense, moves a couple times-once out of the spite because no one tells him what to do except, well, her apparently. Because he regrets that decision instantly. She's vocal enough that he finds himself simply trying to figure out her seemingly impossible requests.]

Signora, they're only clothes.

[What kind of emotion??? What kind of memory??? Oh my god, he's trying to be polite through grit teeth because she's just a nonna, but-]

Why don't you try the chromawear on yourself instead? I'm sure you'll have great success that way.

Yagi Shizusumi | Given | Cordis

[shizusumi]

Welcome to the Jungle

[Okay.

Sci-fi is real? He is on a really bad trip because someone slipped him drugs? He’s dead? From rescue, through arrival these are about the only thoughts the drummer has. Not much else beyond that to consider because no way it’s real right?

Rude awakening is coming of course.

Pick an apartment, okay sure, he’ll do that then, crossing fingers metaphorically for an unoccupied one and maybe he will just hide there for the day. See if he wakes up any time soon? Hallucination, maybe? That seems viable.

Sure, why not.

In the door he’ll go quietly, not shy, just not very talkative by nature. If he interrupts someone he is likely to make a hasty retreat if it is possible. Today has been weird so at this moment, who knows for sure.]

It’s close to midnight, something evil is lurking in the dark

[So haunted houses weren’t exactly his thing but he is stuck here and somehow he got caught in a crowd of people while out looking for something to eat. Next thing he knows he is being hugged by a random spook bot.

Hello awkward, jump scares no big deal, even a rabid babmi would be preferred to the affection he is receiving right now. Shizusumi furrows his brow, leaning back and pushing at the spookbot, excuse you buddy.]

No thank you.

[Please to the letting him go now?]

I’ll take you to the candy shop
[Okay he is not taking candy from strangers but he sure will have made his own and be munching on it. Still not fully aware of some of the things this place and candy can do to you. He is currently munching one piece that does not taste so bad.

Then next one has him stopping, pulling a face and contemplating spitting it out but there is nowhere to do that which wouldn’t be rude so he is going to stand there with a faint look of disgust on his face as he makes his way through this offending piece of candy.]

Wildcard Open to anything, want something you don’t see here come at him, want those candies to do funny things, have at it, it’s the last hurrah, so come at me?

The Jungle

[twink182]

[And here Hiiragi was, just sort of having his own private breakdown in the (FINALLY) peaceful quiet after all the horrors and excitement and stress of the day has died down.

He still has... absolutely no clue what the HELL is going on here, because every time he spoke up to ask something of the weird alien people that were around him earlier, Hiiragi would just get a boatload of nonsensical exposition spewed back at him that his still-jumbled brain was NOT equipped to process. Now he's even more confused than he was when this batshit crazy ordeal first started, and he's KIND OF freaking out, and he's missing his friends like crazy, especially--]

SHIZU-CHAN???

[The blond jolts up to look over towards the opened door from where he was sitting on the couch(..?) in complete and utter shock.....

.....And then, suddenly, FLINGS himself at the familiar boy in the blink of an eye; hooking his arms around the back of Shizu's neck.] OH, THANK GOD...!

So this is really just another weird dream after all!!!

[He's so relieved! Hiiragi exhales, nuzzling against Shizusumi's chest.] The setting's so weird this time, I really wasn't sure at first...

Princess Zelda | Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | Cordis

[sealingpower]

A. Welcome to the Jungle

The Moon Knights and Prismals had given Zelda a rather warm welcome all things considered. Definitely not what she expected would happen when she woke up in a strange place covered in crystal. They had answered most all her questions patiently, perhaps even a bit too enthusiastically; and she sure had a lot of them, due to her inquisitive nature.

Then they had informed her that she would be given accommodations. Just like that? Not that she wouldn’t expect such things on the norm; but here, she was in a whole other world, where no one knew of her lineage or even who she was. Perhaps that would turn out to be a good thing. In any case, she wasn’t stupid, she knew how things worked. When one wasn’t of noble birth, they had to work rather hard to earn such things.

Zelda exited the transport vessel, in which the ride had been a thrill in itself, however the scene that greeted her was even more extraordinary! It reminded her of the ancient Shiekah technology, only much, much, more grandiose! What was it all made of anyway? How was it powered? During the welcome tour, she had kept her eyes wide, gaze darting here and there in order to not miss anything! She looked forward to even more opportunities to explore upon getting settled.

So here she was, standing before the assigned “apartment” building, examining the small pad that would control most everything in the dwelling, including the door itself. It was so big! Perhaps even bigger than the Divine Beasts! She wasn’t wholly unfamiliar with such a thing, this controller. It kind of reminded her of the Shiekah Slate, though it seemed it could do a lot more than the five or so runes that gave the slate its functions.

“Hmm… so my assigned residence should be on the second floor.” She pondered aloud with a thinking gesture. “The rest shouldn’t be too hard to find.”

Zelda indeed found her apartment easy enough and stood at the entrance, holding the remote. First, she tried pressing it to the door itself. It wouldn’t open. Well, there had to be a way to open it. Just hitting random buttons probably wouldn’t be a good idea, so, as much as she wanted to figure it out herself, she thought perhaps she should find someone to ask. She looked fairly puzzled, so should someone happen upon her, they would see her confusion written plainly upon her face.

B. It’s Close to Midnight, Something Evil is Lurking in the Dark

Zelda was aware that the Lunatians had decided to adopt a holiday they had derived from the Moonblessed’s “Halloween” in leu of a holiday that they had originally celebrated involving a “Beast of the Calamity” which was fine by her, as anything involving a creature and the word “Calamity” was a little too close for comfort anyway. The thought of whether their Beast of Calamity was anything like Calamity Ganon did, admittedly cross her mind though.

Though they didn’t exactly have a “Halloween” in Hyrule, she had been approached by curious Lunatians trying to find out more details on the matter. Zelda did her best to relay the information she had learned herself regarding the holiday as she had been pretty curious as well.

She had wandered throughout the festive booths, politely declining their efforts to get her to play some fairly undignified games, however this “Haunted House,” intrigued her. Was it something like the Shrines that were scattered across Hyrule? She had to find out.

Once inside, it seemed plain enough, but when a ghastly creature a baby deer? emerged from her rear, she let out a startled scream and tried to run, tripping and falling on her backside.

”Oh, where was Link when she needed him?” she thought, closing her eyes and shielding herself from the inevitable horror that was to come. Maybe someone else would show up to save her?


D. I’ll Take You to the Candy Shop

The festivities were supposed to wrap up with a night of fun dancing. The type of dance was very different from any she had attended at royal functions. Despite the strangeness of it all, she found herself sort of wanting to try it.

And then she spotted the sign that read “Wonkatron 500.”

” What is that all about?” she questioned aloud.

Zelda wound her way through the crowd in order to investigate. However, when she found herself at the head of the line, she was a tiny bit disappointed to find out that it was just a candy machine. Chocolates were fine and all, but sort of unexciting for such a grand display. Then the words “Minor Magical Effects,” caught her attention. Was this perhaps like the frogs and other items that had enhancing effects in her home world? She had to find someone to test it! And there was that urge to join in the dancing again. Was this the Blessing that gave people like her, the Moonblessed, their namesake?” Perhaps, she could “kill two birds with one stone;” so, to speak?

After picking a random wrapper and flavor combination, of course making a couple with different properties, she scanned the crowd in search of a suitable test subject. A stranger would have to do; Link wasn’t here after all. Zelda made her choice by casually picking a victim someone at random.

“Excuse me,” she prodded in order to get their attention and when they turned, she held the assortment of candy out to them, cradled in both hands. “Try this!”

((OOC: My Zelda is from the canon point after the Yiga Clan assassination attempt, but before the return of Calamity Ganon. Feel free to poke me on Discord: Millaa Maxwell#1225, to plot! Just let me know you’re from DW. I’m sorta new to DWRP, but not RP in general, so please forgive me for my newbishness. If you don’t like prose you can also use brackets, I don’t mind! Also if this isn’t how it’s done, ie: too long? I can see about shortening. I just have a vivid imagination haha.))

[have_hat_will_travel]

The woman in front of Zelda was dressed... Very show-offily, that was a good phrase for it. Pidonus, in fact, had not changed out of her normal wear before the steam had 'inspired' her to join the fun.

So, out she'd gone, full heels and all, until she had run into a new person. Presumably a Moonblessed, and armed with two handfuls of candy.

"Oh, you're playing with the candies tonight, hmm~? I should warn you, it'll be much more enjoyable if you're upfront about what they got loaded with. Kinda the nature of Chroma, you see..."

Videl | Dragon Ball | Re-app

[justicedevil]

[WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE]

[ Being back in Lunatia was weird. It really shouldn't have been, since she still remembered being here for a year and a half or however long she had actually been here, but having two sets of conflicting memories for the same time period wasn't making the adjustment any easier.

And speaking of not making the adjustment back to Lunatia any easier...]

What do you mean that my apartment is occupied and I can't move back into it!?

[...Videl. Yelling at the poor apartment manager who was giving you bad news probably isn't the way to go about getting a new apartment. Even if the memories of just how often cataclysmic events happened here had you angry and annoyed about actions you took back home. Don't take it out on them.]

[SHE WANTS TO LEAD THE GLAMOROUS LIFE]

[Well, looks like she picked the best time to show back up in Lunatia. A couple's costume contest was... well, honestly not something she was all that interested in doing right now, since as far as she could tell so far Gohan wasn't here with her. Really put a damper on the whole couples thing. Really, unless she wanted the moonlacing basket there was no reason for her to even bother.

... Unfortunately, it seems like that wasn't really something that got through to the people who were trying to help her design a costume with the Chromawear.]

For the last time, I don't need a costume! Can you just let me look around in peace already!? I know how Chromawear works!

[OOC: Yep, re-apping Videl who's been here before. She's still a CRAU from duplicitynet, though that's a lot less relevant than it was the first time around since she was in Prisma longer than she was in Duplicity and also from a new canon point.]

Welcome to the Jungle

[liveandforgive]

[ It hasn't been that long, but as Cloud comes back around to his former apartment to pick up a couple things before heading to his new place...that familiar voice giving someone an earful is oh-so-familiar. His ears perk up as he rounds the corner and spots the familiar dark-haired martial artist complaining about her loss of apartment. The apartment manager was trying to smooth things over, explaining the logistics of a Moonblessed vanishing for an undisclosed period of time, but.

Well. Either way, Videl got screwed out of her old place. He sighs, shaking his head before calling over. Cloud may not be able to help her out with getting her old apartment back if it's already been taken (this is deja vu. Panty jacked his place before he begrudgingly let her stay,) but at least he can try and take her mind off that little annoyance? ]

Videl!

Shiemi Moriyama | Ao no Exorcist

[weedlikespirit]

▶ WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE | CLOSED to YUKIO OKUMURA

[ She'd ran a whole floor down.

After finding her resolve and stepping out of the palace bathroom with every intention of turning the attendants away from discovering Rin there only to find herself on a crystal... moon, apparently, Shiemi hadn't really been sure what to expect. She certainly hadn't expected, nor is she exactly sure what she saw just a moment ago when the door she had knocked on in searching for an apartment unit for herself had been swung open. S-some kind of demon and there were chains somanychains and she thinks rope? and a l-lack of clothes whereweretheirclothes and all manner of unfamiliar, colorful things on the t-table and -- and she's leaning forward, face ablaze, panting softly with her hands resting atop her knees as she tries to regain her composure in the empty hallway.

She's certain she just witnessed something she wasn't supposed to, but there's no footfalls behind her and she's slowly but surely catching her breath. That was just one room out of this huge building, she tells herself. If she tries again, then she'll surely find a place, right? She doesn't understand everything she's been told, but she does understand the part where she's going to be here for some time and she needs to... pick a place to live a whole world away from everyone and everything she's ever known.

Well, almost everyone.

There's a summoning paper held against her knee in one trembling hand because she'd almost summoned Nee in alarm when she'd seen the blood and the bruises before she'd realized the state of... undress. She clutches the paper and her knees more tightly only to lift her hands suddenly and drop her still burning face into them for another good minute, taking a moment to just. Pull herself together because she can do this, she can absolutely do this!

Nevermind what she saw. She has to do this. That last door was only the second one and the third time's the charm! She just... has to pick one, so she straightens and takes a breath and then, very quietly -- ]

Eenie-meenie-miney-mo!

[ Her finger lands on a certain door and she takes a breath and marches right up to it. Lifting a hand, she knocks one, two, three times, and boldly! Resolutely!

As her hands return to her sides, she balls them gently in the fabric of her clothes and takes another quiet little breath, pushing aside her uncertainty. She'd told Rin that she'd do her best to follow him and Yuki-chan, so she can't allow herself to be stopped here. ]

This time for sure...!

▶ IT’S CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT

[ It's become a very regular thing, that Shiemi isn't entirely sure what she should expect here. She had only really just begun to set foot into the great big world beyond her family home and her grandmother's garden, so to suddenly find herself in another world entirely is amazing to her. A little overwhelming, too, with so much information to process, but she's trying to take things step by step, one day at a time.

A year ago, she probably would've needed some encouragement to set food outside, but today, she's summoned her Greenmen familiar, Nee, and eventually decided to go find out what all the excitement is about at... Lunatia Square, she thinks it's called?

Shiemi, with Nee seated snugly atop her head, can be find turning wide eyes around the square from the sidewalk. Catching sight of a few of the more humorous shirts sporting certain nouns, she caps her mouth with a hand, giggling good naturedly. ]

Is that supposed to be scary?

▶ WILDCARD

[ Got an idea? Hit me or PM me to plot something out! ]

[OOC: Just a heads up, but please bear in mind this character is 15 at her current canon point. Thanks! ]

[reflash]

[It's still Cordis, inching slowly towards the end of it. The rest of today, and then it's supposed to fade out tomorrow. He's trying to be fine today, to ignore the gnawing need to moonlace with someone. He's still in bed, curled under blankets and not doing much of anything.

And then there's a noise at his door, someone pounding. Yukio rolls out of bed, thuds to the ground all tangled up in his blankets, untangles himself and fumbles his glasses on to his face. He's not dressed, he's wearing the same pyjamas he wore all day yesterday, his hair is enough of a mess that he looks a lot more like Rin than usual, but he's not thinking about that. There's some kind of emergency, and he rushes to the door and opens it.

...

Closes it.

There's no way. There's no possible way that Shiemi is standing there, on the other side of the door of his apartment. He's hallucinating, this is some weird side-effect of Cordis, or something.

He takes his glasses off, cleans them on the hem of his shirt, puts them back on. Opens the door again, carefully this time.

...]

Shiemi-san? I'm sorry, I didn't expect you.

[Yukio looks... fine. Not quite so tired, not quite so strained as he had been for weeks. But that doesn't mean he's anything like relaxed, and that smile is polite, polite.

His left eye is wrong, the iris gone pale blue, like Satan's flames. But there's no fire clinging to it now.]

Raihan | Pokémon

[scaleshot]

≫ Welcome to the Jungle

[ Alright, so, this is new. Very, very new. It was a jarring enough discovery and trip to say the least, but he handled it...somewhat better than some? He sure didn't think he'd end up in some scifi movie at any point in his life, but hey, sometimes things happen? In some ways, it could be worse.

Well, he's still got all his buddies, and that's what matters most. Now comes the bigger issue, once they've sent Raihan off with directions and a head crammed full of new knowledge.

That is to say, adjusting to the move.

Maybe you're curious about all the different noises, or maybe you're looking for a place to stay with a good roommate or two. Either way, the moment you opt to peer in the doorway, a very large dragon-esque creature will be greeting you, giving you an approximate moment before it oozes a sticky green slime off it's arms onto you with apparent friendliness. ]

Oh, woah— [ A tall man pops out from behind the gooey, purple critter with an apologetic look on his face. ] Sorry 'bout that, she's a little affectionate! Here, this ought to help.

[ After a moment of digging through his pockets, he pulls out some slightly crumpled tissues. Gotta have some on hand in case of emergency slime-related incidents. It comes with the territory. ]

≫ Two's a crowd

[ The trip was more than a little exhausting for him and his partners, but whereas they can take a good rest in the meantime, he's got some exploring to do. After all, a trainer needs supplies, and who knows where he's going to find those around here?

And also, more than that...he's been running on low, and it's always harder to get things done on an empty stomach, be it battling or putzing around town. Something to eat should help make the search go a little smoother, and maybe he's got some curiosities to sate in the meantime.

So, he'll saddle up to someone in this crowded fine establishment, someone sitting alone who looks maybe a little open to some company. Raihan stops in front of the table, friendly toothy grin and all, not rude enough to just straight up invite himself without asking first. ]

Hey! Sorry to ask, but you got room for one more here?

≫ I'll take you to the Candy Shop

[ Anybody who knows Raihan knows for a fact he's a people person. He lives for the crowds, the fans, the attention. Sure, it's good to get some peace and quiet at times, but without the roaring stadiums behind him like usual, it's nice to get out somewhere where the people are feeling alive.

So, whether you're off by yourself in a corner, or pulling yourself off the dance floor after a fun time, you'll find one of those glowing green beakers thrust towards you, a man decked out with a pair of curled horns, a shiny tail and a few other scaly pieces to match for a fairly draconic appearance offering it with a sharp-toothed smile. ]

Lookin' tired. Go on then, this'll pick you right up!

Got something else in mind? Want some other Pokemon shenanigans? Go ahead, or shoot me a PM!

Hm? Sure.

[ Yashiro was probably asking for it anyway, openly staring at him like that. He gestures at the seat across from him at the table. ]

It's always busy around this time. You look new, though. I'm Yashiro.

Welcome to the Jungle:

Well, being trapped in crystals beat being dead. That was what he kept telling himself, except he is here and he has the buster sword, then where is Cloud, and why does he not have it?!

Okay, okay, chill out. That's the first thing. The second is to make it through the process after his rescue. Get the information they have to give and get on transport to his new home.

Third, figure out what is going on, how he is alive, and why is he here? Sure, he got the whole thing about this planet dying, but his planet needs him. He did what he had to do for his friends and his home, and now, he feels like maybe it was wasted. So yeah, thanks for the second chance, weird alien folks but kind of blew the whole point of his sacrifice.

This leaves Zack torn as he wanders around Lunatia, orientating himself with his new surroundings. One, he's alive, fuck yeah! Two, he's alive, which means was the price of freedom paid? Did his final moments do anything? Is everyone safe, or is he in some weird-ass time loop that has him sent back to when he was alive?

"Ahhh! My head hurts; it's too much to figure out." He stops, almost huffing as he complains aloud, putting his head in his hands with a groaning sound.


Wildcard: Want to act like he's been here and you're coming for a visit, do it? Want to do the Haunted House, The Candy, The Costumes, this month's events, and be a vampire? I am here for whatever while we can so come at me; the wildcard option is wide open.
