Moon Iris; Lunar Scientia, Lunatia | top
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. Even the few shy moon creatures you find in the wild have strange crystal growths on their hides. This is far from home— perhaps a dream? You pinch your skin and slap your cheeks, yet nothing seems to do the trick. Searching for answers yields nothing but an endless expanse of purple dust as far as the eye can see. You have four options: one, panic; two, soil yourself; three, admire it all then soil yourself; or four, go into survival mode. Eventually, you’ll realize that you’re not alone.
After a day or two of living off the crystal wilderness, a group of people find you worse for wear. They are the gallant Moon Knights from the planet of Prismatica. After the strange phenomenon 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? Why did I think grocery store sushi was a good idea? — 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 gives 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.
While waiting for transport to be prepared, you may freely roam around the government center. Eventually you’re called back from exploring, escorted to the docks, and led onto a large transport vessel. Destination: Prismatica.

Several tents decorated with streamers, shells, and pearls have been set up along the shorelines of Level 2. A giant clam mascot tells you that hey, hey, hey! There’s a beach festival happening tonight! It will be full of fun activities, and anybody who is anybody will be there. The Prismals involved are inviting people all around Levels 1 and 2. Bathing suits will be provided to all participating festival-goers. What are they celebrating? Who knows. Maybe Prismals just want to have a good time! Hey, hey, hey!
As the festival winds down, some Prismals can be seen dancing and eating by the campfire. Everyone is welcome to relax and watch a nice fireworks show by the pier while a local band known as the Briny Seamen plays a compilation of their greatest hits. Expect an uncomfortable amount of marimba solos!

Once you’ve been all crabbed out for the day, you can finally settle in your new home in Level 2:
Officer Fahrouk
Subject: MOONBLESSED THERE’S A SALE AT KRABBA!!
To my heroes and my greatest inspiration,
New arrivals, welcome! Old friends, hello! I hope all of you are doing well.
I am writing to let you know there is a sale at KRABBA, Lunatia’s most popular flat-packed furniture store. All crab-themed decors are 50% off!
Here is a picture of my daughter with her new KRABBA shelf. Now we can display our Moonblessed bromides with joy and pride! We had so much fun putting it together and hope you do too.
Here’s a big bear hug from us both! We also attached directions to KRABBA. Happy shopping!
Love,
Fahrouk and Hala
True enough, attached is a picture of him and his daughter standing in front of some newly assembled furniture as well as a map to the KRABBA store in Level 2.
Also true is the sale at KRABBA! The prices are affordable, but the crab-themed items are especially cheap and ready to brighten anyone’s day. Among the notable items in stock are a sea shell-shaped loveseat called Havsskal, a foamy green kitchen table named Tång, and a bed named Havsbotten that somehow resembles the sandy sea floor. Please do not lie down on the beds! The staff have been made to wear crab-themed outfits and will not hesitate to use those claws to get people in line.
After paying at the cashier for your items, feel free to order some of KRABBA’s signature meat (?) balls with Moonberry sauce. You deserve a break!

While waiting for transport to be prepared, you may freely roam around the government center. Eventually you’re called back from exploring, escorted to the docks, and led onto a large transport vessel. Destination: Prismatica.
a.) An envoy of Prismals with fox-like traits is currently visiting Prismatica to meet with the Queen. Their kind was so awed by tales of the Moonblessed that they have gathered to greet all of them with a ritual dance of their people. They also offer to teach the Moonblessed an amazing trick — with a wink!
Flowing robes follow their delicate bodies as they perform a passionate series of steps and acrobatics with their paper fans. Early in the performance, they peek above their open fans and wink at their audience. At that moment, your limbs are suddenly enchanted with exceptional grace. Couldn’t put your leg behind your head before? Had trouble doing a split? Well, now you can perform these flexible feats and more. The fox Prismals will be inviting the Moonblessed to join them so they can attempt to feel their invigorating chroma against their bodies.
b.) The dexterity spell the fox Prismals cast is one of many a fox has in their repertoire of charms and curses. It can be very useful for making a quick escape! While the older fox Prismals teach this spell to the interested Moonblessed (read: teach them how to wink and use chroma at the same time), you can explore the city with the younger fox Prismals.
A delicious drink called bubbly tea is very popular among teenagers in Lunatia right now! Unfortunately, defective apricot pearls inside may cause you to float a few feet in the air. This effect goes away as soon as the affected pass the pearls at a bathroom, but getting there will be an adventure. Maybe you Moonblessed have abilities that can get rid of the effect? The fox Prismals don’t have a spell to cure this...
Help the affected young fox Prismals get to a bathroom and they will teach you another spell: simply place a finger over your lips, and no one else but your friends can listen in on your secret conversations!

Bathing suits will be provided to all participating festival-goers. What are they celebrating? Who knows. Maybe Prismals just want to have a good time! Hey, hey, hey!
a.) One of Lunatia’s favorite beach party games is “Find the King Crab.” King crabs have a golden belly and are hidden among other disgruntled crabs. Protip: king crabs are often found in the center of large clusters of crabs. Be careful while flipping them; they are very eager to clip anything that comes near their nest! Be the first to find a king crab and claim the grand prize —- an all-you-can-eat buffet for four at a King Crab Sandcastle, a high-end seaside seafood restaurant. You now get to exact vengeance on these crabs by eating as many as you please.
b.) There’s an educational tent promoting the soothing pastime of conch listening. Glossy conchs of various shapes and sizes can be found on the tables. Some special ones are said to link to one’s innermost self. Special conchs are encrusted with tiny glistening gems, making them easy to spot in the sunlight. Pressing them to your ear will draw forth the sound of someone’s voice — be it yours or someone familiar. Depending on the listener’s mood, the sound of the voice will range from peaceful singing to blood-curdling screams.
c.) Another tent is dedicated to scuba diving. You can either rent out a special set of nodes which are worn on either side of your neck to replicate the function of gills, allowing you to breathe safely beneath the water, or traditional scuba diving gear since some Prismals like the challenge! Explore Lunatia’s vast undersea world and bear witness to its wonders, such as its crystalline corals and tropical fish, a myriad of species unique to Prismatica. A few of these species are the rainbow seahorses carrying newborns in their pouches and greater clownfishes that can’t seem to find their offspring. Venture further under and you will eventually find aquatic bears with scaled bodies that seem to be very territorial over their habitat and hoard of delicious (?) sea honey. As they often say, don’t poke the bear…
As the festival winds down, some Prismals can be seen dancing and eating by the campfire. Everyone is welcome to relax and watch a nice fireworks show by the pier while a local band known as the Briny Seamen plays a compilation of their greatest hits. Expect an uncomfortable amount of marimba solos!

LEVEL 2, LUNATIA | top
Once you’ve been all crabbed out for the day, you can finally settle in your new home in Level 2:
a.) 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.) All Moonblessed new and old receive a frazzled email from their favorite Moon Knight, Fahrouk. He was involved in Obscuria’s Glow affair, resulting in both him and his daughter becoming new unofficial Moonblessed Community Ambassadors.

[ It's a shot in the dark guess that was what Hisoka was doing, but he seems confident in his statement regardless. Five can't help but feel a sour taste in his mouth at a proposition. Why is it he's always needed for shady characters that he's barely even known for a few minutes.
Still. ]
I don't see much merit in it for me because I'm not going to get caught. I'm certain of that.
[ Look. He's not as stubborn as his dad, but he's still stubborn. Sweeten the deal a little. Hisoka might sense that he's waiting for that by the way he gives him a rather expecting look. ]
no subject
[ Still, he likes the manner in which the young man speaks. It's filled with confidence instead of stumbling out an answer. If he were capable of smiling -- which seems to be slowly coming back to him -- he would let his face split into a pleased grin. ]
Hmmmm. You don't seem like the type that would take a payment in an I.O.U. But I promise that I'll uphold my end of the deal.
[ More feeling comes back to him, and he actually is able to turn his head slightly to finally give his wide smile. ]
If not, well, I understand.
no subject
Maybe he shouldn't let him out of his sight for awhile. ]
I'm not sure if I can exactly carry you if you don't have your range of motion back.
Tell me how I can help.
[ Hisoka is tall and Five is.. not. ]
no subject
[ He readily agrees. ]
Chroma. I heard a bit of how it works and it'll be good to see how well. [ The ability to dispel toxins from his body -- the use of Nen should help in it to get him back on his feet. Since he can use his aura to some degree, he believes he'll be able to do it just needs a little kickstart. ]
Place your hand on my shoulder. If I had known that you were a teleporter, I would have just tried to dispel the paralyzing agent rather than play around with showing you my ability. [ He giggles. Honestly, he wanted to see a shocked look on the other's face, but the young man seems to be very calm and not very easily rattled. ]
no subject
If I can help you in some way without actually touching you, that would be preferable.
[ Look, he's not an affectionate person. He's got a type and they're definitely not clowns... or people, for that matter. Even something innocent like hand holding, a shoulder touch, a hug.. he's just not about it. It has nothing to do with Hisoka himself, it's everyone. ]
no subject
[ He is able to twist his head around to look at the young man. Look at that, more of his functions are coming back. And anyway, he decides to needle the young man until he can move.
Since that, too, is entertaining, he'll consider there still a debt to be had. After all, the person could just have left him and then he would have been bored by himself. No fun. ]
no subject
[ Five, it's nothing like that. You're just an ornery old man. ]
no subject
[ And cheerfully adds: ]
That can do real magic. [ It isn't at all. ] No smoke or mirrors or false bottoms here. [ And what does that have to do with anything? ]
Though, at your age, I suppose that doesn't make you not want to worry about germs with me.
no subject
Magic isn't real. There's always a scientific and logical explanation.
At my age, I'm wise enough to be just a little more apprehensive of people in full-on clown make up.
[ However, he still hasn't left the room. How interesting. ]
no subject
[ He cannot help but laugh a little. ]
Don't you think that what has happened to us here is a little more than can be explained with science or logic? I think that we can call this magic, can't you?
[ A beat. ] And this is magician make-up.
no subject
[ is this what they're going to argue about.. ]
It's not anything just anyone can understand, but give me a couple of hours and I could tell you what I think is going on here. There's nothing magical about it at all. Of course, it's a little more complicated than merely plucking people out of their timeline to a designated spot, but gathering specific targets from different universes is pretty impressive.
I think we're dealing with something dangerous because unlike everyone else, I don't think we arrived here by chance or something simple like a mere wormhole.
[ He's an overthinker. And slightly paranoid. But mostly an overthinker. ]
no subject
[ This is what they're going to argue about while they chat about how they got here... ]
Really? I actually would be interested in what you come up with in a few hours. [ His face finally breaks out a smile. Is he mocking or is he being serious? Mixture! ]
Not by chance, hmmm? I suppose it would be too much to add in what you think the criteria is for those that are chosen as you think about how we came to be here ... logically. So, I won't add that to your troubles! [ Isn't he nice? ]
But if it is capable of grabbing who it has grabbed... what can you do about it? [ He chuckles as he tosses in a new needle, and thing for them to argue about. ] Teleporters are so much fun. You all rely so much on your abilities.
