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!

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!
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.

I mean, I guess they didn't say we couldn't, right? [ he matches her whisper conspiratorially, looking up and- oh. bikini. well. she looked like she fit right in at the beach, right? which could only be a good thing for this team-up.
free dinner, you're as good as theirs. ]
no subject
See? Now we're talking. No one needs to know. You find it and you say you want me and two others. If I find it, I say I want you and two others. Simple as that, right? [she winked, reaching to flip another crab, darting her hand back before it snapped at her.]
[She did fit right into the the beach setting. It's a beach. She wasn't saying no to bikini time.]
I'm Hana, by the way. Hana Song.
no subject
he follows her lead and continues flipping some crabs himself, careful to avoid getting his fingers clamped or injuring the weird little guys. he looks back up at the introduction, however. ]
Oh, right- Peter Parker. Nice to meet you, Hana. Have you, uh... been stuck on this alien planet long?
[ listen. how ELSE is he supposed to describe it. ]
no subject
[She flipped two with one, and none of them were gold. She drew her hand back and wagged it as one got her. Sucking on the side of her finger a moment later she gave a small humm.]
[Alien planet is a very good way to put it, really.]
I only just got here. I was exploring when I ran into this beach gathering. I figured it couldn't hurt to take time out to see what it was all about. You?
no subject
Woah- you okay? [ she seems it, but. question that needed to be asked.
nodding a bit at her explanation, he takes a few steps away from the crab pile and starts picking up some thin, reed-like sticks instead, bending them a little to test how strong they are. ]
Pretty much the same with me. Just got here, trying to figure this place out, heard there was free food if you won, and... you know, since I really have no idea how anything else in this place really works, yet-
[ satisfied with two reasonably sturdy sticks, he walks back over and hands her one, using his own to lift under a crab to flip it. ]
Here. Safety first, right?
no subject
[She sucked on her finger a moment longer, nodding.]
I'm fine. Rookie mistake is all.
[She chuckled at he explained and held out a stick to her.] Safety first! [she repeated with a smile, using the stick to poke at a crab again as she spoke.]
I suppose it's a bit like a role play game, where you're dumped into a new world and have to explore to figure things out. Flip some crabs, get some food. Oh! I got On--oh no. Stupid crab. [FLIP]
no subject
You're totally right. Hey, how much EXP do you think we're getting, for each crab? Worth it, you think? [ just in case the food option just wasn't enough. he gives a sympathetic groan at her disappointment, though. ]
You'd think they'd be a little more cooperative. We get hungry enough without winning, there's always a ton of crabs right here. [ he's joking. probably. ]
no subject
It's like a starting quest, but instead of killing pigs or kobalds, we're flipping crabs. Seems nicer at least. I bet our EXP comes in a form of a awesome crab dinner, if we win. And if we don't all we need is a fire, a pot of water, and some of these little buggers, yeah.
[And as she said that, she flipped a crab that bounced off in front of Peter, a golden shine to it's belly. It rolled over again and aggressively started to snap at them both.]
Did you see that! Don't lose him!
