▶ TDM .020
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.

...
...don't you dare forget-]
Well, I'm not some weird nightmare. I just escaped from one.
[You know?? The whole buried stage thing?? Awful.]
You need proof, or something?
no subject
[ He remembers well how scared he'd been. How he'd been entirely on edge, and only running into Gyu-hyuk made it remotely easier. But Hyesung isn't Gyu-hyuk, and Hyesung deals with his problems in a very different way from both of them.
He's dressed up, taking selfies and making himself taller than Gyu-hyuk. And he can generate chroma. This is the real Seo Hyesung. Do-yoon can't say he blames him, when the wound still feels fresh for him, even a month out. (The nightmares sure didn't help...) ]
I don't need proof. [ He backs off, raising a hand in surrender. No more moonlacing, though. ] Sorry for getting on your case about it, bro.
[ He sighs..... how else do you appease Hyesung if not by throwing yourself under the bus? ]
Help me pick out a costume, since you're so good at it.
no subject
Why didn't you just ask me that at the start? Come on.
[Without waiting to see if Do-yoon is actually following him (because he obviously is, duh! He told him to come!), Hyesung heads back towards where those Chromawear-dispensing Prismals are located, quickly taking possession of a few choice items. He examines them for a moment, before handing them to Do-yoon.]
Here. Put this on and imagine what you want your costume to be. Try to pick something cool, alright?
no subject
For now!! He can't help but worry about Hyesung though. Is he gonna be okay on his own? He's so fucking tsundere, who'd want to moonlace with him? (Sorry, buddy.)
Ah well, those are thoughts for later. Right now he has to play along and follow Hyesung to get those Chromawear costumes. He takes whatever Hyesung gives him, though the whole point is that they can make 'em look like whatever they want, right? ]
Something cool? Alright.
[ Do-yoon throws them on, thinking about it. Consider what he finds cool. Consider. He's definitely gonna do his old look, even if it's a hassle and a half to maintain. It's just... you know, for a costume, it'd be kinda cool, right? ]
1/3
2/3
3/3
Dude....really? This look?
[Betrayer-hyung...what are you doing!?]
1/2
You said something cool. It's not my fault you guys don't like my taste.
[ He crosses his arms, fiddling with the settings for a moment. He's been here a while, so he at least has the chroma to afford another look. ]
Fine, gimme a second.
2/2
Better?
[ Don't tell him this look is fire, he'll be so disappointed because it's so not him... ]
no subject
Yeah! That's what I'm talking about! You look great.
[So great, in fact, that they need to immortalise it; Hyesung quickly wraps an arm around Do-yoon's shoulders and pulls him close, holding out his bracelet.]
Don't make a dumb face, alright? I wanna put this on my Prismagram.
[...
yes, he's already got a Prismagram]
no subject
But doing his hair like this every day would be a hassle too. Kind of like how Hyesung wants to take a picture for Prismagram. Geez, didn't he just get here?? ]
Alright, alright. Can't believe you already have a Prismagram...
[ Do-yoon keeps his face neutral, that stoic look he's perfected for all of his promo pictures. He's gotten out of the habit of it since getting to Prismatica, but the old moves still fit like a glove. He knows his appeal, even if he'd try to deny it. The Betrayer and the Convict... that's some kinda appeal, alright. ]
no subject
He snaps a few shots, before bringing up his gallery and scrolling through the results. He pauses occasionally, zooming in, checking every section of the picture and frowning once he hits a certain one.]
Hang on, don't move, I wanna retake this one. My eyes look weird.
[You're being grabbed again, Do-yoon! Is it obvious he's having a bit too much fun being the taller person, at the moment?]
You sure love that stoic look, don't you? I guess it works.
no subject
It's what performed the best, remember? People think I'm a 'bad boy,' they don't want to see me smiling.
[ It's funny, with Hyesung being a little bigger than usual (but not much heavier, huh, didn't plan that far ahead, did he,) they don't quite the same look as they would back home, but it's close. ]
How many followers do you have on that thing, anyway? Do you even have a place to stay?
[ He would not be surprised if the answer is no. ]
no subject
I have enough. You should follow me, then I'll have one more.
[Don't you dare tell him you don't have a Prismagram, by the way. He'll set one up for you! He's already preparing to set one up for Gyu-Hyuk, so another won't be a problem. Did he ask him if he has one? Of course not! He doesn't need to. The guy could barely handle Phater and probably texts like a grandpa. As if he'd have a Prismagram!
The question about his living situation surprises him a little, though, and it's obvious.]
I got one of those free apartments, like everyone else. It's okay.
[...]
Why, where are you living?
no subject
Yeah, okay. I'll follow you. Make me an account.
[ He pulls out his little bracelet thing, handing it to Hyesung because he knows he's gonna set him up with an account so he might as well get it over with. ]
Me and Gyu-hyuk live in an apartment together. It's the same type, just two bedrooms.
[ He pauses, thinking past all the dumb outfits and everything to how he'd felt a month ago when he'd arrived. How scared he'd been those first few nights... If Gyu-hyuk hadn't been around, he doesn't know what he'd do. ]
We technically have a spare room, if you wanna stay with us.
[ Gyu-hyuk would be fine with that, right? Of course he would. (Do the math, though. 3 people in 2 bedrooms... they're shacking up.) ]
no subject
...oh.. Hyesung is halfway through finalising Do-yoon's Prismagram account - @ han_dy, of course - and the thought of living with him and Gyu-Hyuk makes him pause, a surprised look on his face. It doesn't last long, however, for that usual smirk to come back.]
What makes you think I'd wanna live with you two? That'd be so weird.
[He'll look back down at Do-yoon's bracelet, pushing a few more buttons. The movements are natural and without hesitation; he's clearly already comfortable with the technology.]
Here. I gave you a good username.
[...
...]
I suppose I could come check your second room out. I've got high standards though, bro. This isn't an acceptance.
[It's absolutely an acceptance.]
no subject
[ Do-yoon takes his bracelet back, placing it directly in his pocket without so much as a glance. It certainly won't take long for Hyesung to connect the dots once he sees them together. Do-yoon could try and fake that they aren't dating, but he's really been enjoying the fact that he doesn't have to pretend to be someone he's not here. He can just be himself. That means Hyesung is gonna have to get comfy with the moonlacing thing pretty quick. Hopefully not as quick as they had to, though—needing to give Gyu-hyuk a blowjob to keep him from dying was already stressful enough.
Boy, he's probably gonna have to explain that one at some point, huh. Guess there's things they both don't want to talk about. (Besides the whole bit about Hyesung being dead.) ]
It beats living alone. Especially with the moonlacing thing. You're better off with people you know, if something happens.
[ If Hyesung wakes up bloody and Do-yoon ends up having to blow him too, then he'll just have to do that, I guess. Not saying he's into Hyesung or anything, but you know, he's a cute guy. He could be into that. Well, and Do-yoon isn't about to let something like prudishness keep him from saving his friends. He'll do anything for that.
Even invite particularly annoying ones to live with him, even if he's sure he's going to be more trouble than he's worth. Do-yoon rolls his eyes. He knows what you're doing, Hyesung. Maybe he hasn't lived through the worst of the nightmare that was Buried Stars, but Do-yoon wouldn't be surprised if Hyesung had some nightmares of his own to deal with. And he did lose Seungyeon... ]
Okay, come check it out. We just got the room fixed up, so everything is new. I figured you wouldn't mind that.
[ Never mind that the room needed to be fixed because Gyu-hyuk's blood was all over it. Just don't ask. ]
Oh, and we have a cat. That cool with you?
[ Hyesung can make the cat a Prismagram too... ]
1/2
Dude, at least look at it! No wonder you were so useless with Phater!
[Honestly! He has so much to teach you....]
2/2
.....!! A n y w a y-]
The cat's fine, as long as it doesn't get fur all over my clothes.
[...
Hyesung is clearly still annoyed about the Prismagram account - or so he'd want Do-yoon to believe - and he looks off to the side, hands in his pockets.]
...so when can I come over?
no subject
But moonlacing can be platonic, yes. It's certainly not platonic between Do-yoon and Gyu-hyuk, but it's not like Do-yoon intends to add Hyesung to their relationship and turn it into a throuple. Then again, once Sanguis rolls around, who can say...
It's fine! The goal is keeping Hyesung alive. ]
He's got long hair, but he doesn't shed that much. We can just keep him out of your room if you want.
[ The cat is going to hate Hyesung, but you know, with two cats in one household, an alpha will emerge eventually. ]
You can check it out now, if you want. Unless you have anything better to do.
[ Which, lbr, Do-yoon knows he doesn't, but he knows how Hyesung likes to pretend. ]
no subject
You'd better not tag me in that post.
[You've tagged him in the damn post, haven't you? Ugh.
But....well. Hyesung is clearly not as angry as he could be, judging by how the volume of his voice has dropped (from very loud to sort-of loud), and he's actually looking at Do-yoon again. With a smirk, so he's clearly feeling better.]
I have so many better things to do, but I'm gunna go with you. You should feel honoured, bro.
[...
please take him to your apartment. please-]
no subject
So should I un-tag you?
[ He's not going to, even if Hyesung asks him to, but he'll pretend, if only because he knows it'll abate his baby rage. Which is all fake anyway, don't pretend, Hyesung.
Do-yoon rolls his eyes, but he smiles too. Oh, Hyesung... ]
Thanks, bro. I'm sure your schedule is packed.
[ He's gonna turn around and you better follow, Hyesung, because the train is leaving the station. ]
no subject
[Ugh ugh ugh he knows what you're doing, but he's still going to dutifully follow like he's some kind of dog.
(in case you missed it - that was foreshadowing)
Either way, Do-yoon is quickly caught, and Hyesung takes note of how he didn't even have to jog! Oh, how nice it is, being 185cm...]
So what kind of building do you guys live in, anyway? You got any cool things in the apartment? I want a hot tub!
no subject
Just hurry up there, Fido. Do-yoon leads them down the hall and down the steps. (You think he's going in an elevator after that Bstars nonsense? No way in hell.) ]
Nah, we haven't changed much. One of the rooms is blue and the other one's red. Oh, and we bought a cat tree. The kitchen's really nice.
[ These are Adults, they care about the important things. Not the hot tubs. ]
no subject
Damn, you two got real domestic, didn't you?
[Hyesung is also glad that Do-yoon chose to take the stairs, rather than the elevator (although he would, of course, act tough and just endure it if they had taken it). If there's any way to avoid enclosed spaces, he's certainly going to do it...hopefully this apartment has lots of windows...]
So how is this going to work, anyway? Does one of us take the couch? Bunk beds?
