▶ TDM .006
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.
▶ The Mirror has Two Faces
Iris Moon, Government Center (Arrival) and Planet Prismatica, City of Lunatia | top
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 drinking alcohol made in a bathtub 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 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.
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.
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.
▶ Knottingham Forest
Level 2, Greatmoon Groves | top
The whole city receives an invitation to watch a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor play in Level 2’s Greatmoon Groves. It will be performed by the renowned traveling fox thespians from Amegahara.
It’s been a whole month since these fox envoys came to Lunatia. The Amegahara foxes ended up staying in the city longer than expected because of the fiasco last Vulpus Astra. Aside from needing to smooth things out with the Lunatian government, they also need to regain enough chroma to travel back home.
The locals aside, wanting to make up for their carelessness from the past month, they’ve primarily put together this play while keeping in mind the Moonblessed who were most affected. Though the Conclave of Amegahara and the Oracles of the Sinless are not affiliated, the Amegahara foxes regardless wish to apologize for the wrongdoings of the Sinless because they’re still their kin.
They hope everyone can move past it. Eager to show the real beauty of their culture, they encourage all to attend and bear witness to a truly tantalizing feast for the eyes. All Moonblessed will receive VIP seating and special service. The play does not start until the evening, but don’t worry, there’s more entertainment prepared around the groves!
▶ Preparation H
Level 1, Lunar Scientia Headquarters | top
It’s almost time for the Conclave of Amegahara to return home and they will be taking the Oracles of the Sinless with them. Though, it seems they’re not the only ones heading out. As part of the ongoing efforts to bridge relations between all cultures, any willing Moonblessed will be invited at the end of the month to travel together to Amegahara, the Oasis in the Nothing, to give them a chance to learn more about this world. It’s also a volunteer experiment to see how their special moonlacing will affect their dead environment.
It’s said that the Amegaharans developed their own culture and technology independently from the Prismals of Lunatia, as their lands are separated by a large ecological wasteland created by the Calamity—dead lands which they call the Nothing. In order to traverse this dangerous territory, appropriate equipment developed by the Amegaharans will have to be used given that the Nothing is inhospitable and impossible to breathe inside of.
And so, to make sure nothing goes wrong, a proper testing and training session in Level 1’s Lunar Scientia Headquarters will be underway before the big trip. The Amegahara foxes warn that the current calibrations are for their kind, so it will likely be incompatible with the Moonblessed at the moment. Part of the test procedures is to find the right configurations, so brace yourselves.
As always, please take note of all glitches and errors and report them to your nearest Lunar Scientia employee!

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. 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 apartments have been officially upgraded with special mirrors in the master bedroom that allow you to modify your features using a chroma-powered side panel. You can change your hair color, clothes, add animal parts, and even reduce or augment any feature of your body. Play around with it and see how you look! Sometimes, the mirrors will glitch and give you access to another person’s mirror, letting you see inside their apartment and catch them unawares. To their (your?) horror, you can hear them as well as they can hear you. Hopefully, you’re not caught doing something you shouldn’t be!

A. Trending online is the Tree of Knots, a large tree with low-hanging branches covered in thick ribbons of various colors. It's such a hit with the locals that there are long lines for those who want to take Prismagram-worthy selfies.
The Amegahara foxes will explain that knots are sacred to their kind as they represent deep passion and eternal bonding. Participants are encouraged to work in pairs to loop a ribbon around a branch and then pull either end to ring around the tree. The bigger the knot, the better! Once a knot is secured, the two Moonblessed may find themselves, well… stuck together. Their hands will lace, and they will not be able to pull free for an hour. Enjoy the quality time spent with a friend and/or stranger… Hope you don’t have to go to the bathroom any time soon!
B. Cozy up with your fellow Moonblessed at the comfortable VIP seats facing the stage. Plates of delicious food and drink will float around to serve you until the show is over!
Under the moonlight, the play tells the tale of the Queen of Loch Drasta. The aloof and sheltered queen is seduced by a winsome village maiden named Peirene, only able to meet her when the night is upon them.
Special effects spellcasters make illusions of stars that encircle the audience, their bright glow emitting a comforting warmth that may lull audience members into a peaceful trance that lasts well after the show has ended. Those affected may find themselves feeling intoxicated. Strange — they haven’t even had a single drop of liquor! They’ll be prone to feats of reckless abandon or be charged by feelings of either elation, desire, or happiness. Possibly all of the above!

A. L.I.F.E. or simply “LIFE” is a special form-fitting full body suit and helmet that are capable of providing ample chroma to keep the wearer alive through the most hazardous environments, such as toxic air.
One of malfunctions may potentially cause suffocation by squeezing the wearer’s bodies too tight. Another is that it might drain chroma instead of providing any. Stay with someone nearby to help you strip and moonlace with!
B. Another piece of technology available for testing is the aerial mecha suits called GIGA, which require at least two to three people to pilot one. Similar to LIFE, the suits also have a few noticeable glitches. Sometimes, the flight function stops completely, making it impossible to hover more than a few feet off the air. Other times, the emergency function suddenly ejects pilots straight into the ground. A neural cord that is supposed to affix itself to the pilots’ central nervous systems has also been coming out from the bottom of the seat instead of linking to the back of the pilots’ neck as designed, making for a particular uncomfortable seated experience.
As always, please take note of all glitches and errors and report them to your nearest Lunar Scientia employee!

A
Lazy red eyes look at the man as he stretched at the comment.]
You in a rush?
RITSUUUUUU
Gaku frowns.]
No... Actually I wasn't. It's not like I have anywhere to be.
GAKU!!!!
Then just not watching where you were going then? [Not meaning to be rude he yawns at the end of the sentence.]
uwu
[He frowns at him. Is this guy okay...?]
Do you need a nap or something?
I love Gaku so much~
[At least the guy was nice about it, even as Ritsu was struggling to keep his eyes open.]
Yeah...I can't find my place...
[He says as he just eyes the ground, he is considering the floor at this point.]
I LOVE RITSU this is great :>
Oh. Are you new, too? If you're in the right building you can try keys until you find it or something, otherwise...
[He looks back over his shoulder into his own apartment. Curse his own sense of responsibility.]
...I mean, if you're not feeling well, come on in and I'll call for a doctor. But you can't just pass out in the hallway. You'll scare somebody. You're not a corpse, but you are kinda pale, so it'd be an easy mistake to make.
Awww Yes!
Yeah, just got here. Don't wanna walk anymore.
[Most times Mao would just find him and carry him to where they needed to go but sadly Mao wasn't here. Which meant that Ritsu was solo on his own care.]
Pale is normal for me. [Another yawn as he attempts to move to the floor. This guy didn't know his life...but it might be rough if he was stepped on it's happened before.]
no subject
Hey, you'll get stepped on. [Why. Why are people like this.] Come on. [Honestly, the guy seems so frail that Gaku does just hoist him over his shoulder and bring him into his apartment.] Get somewhere safe before you just pass out.
no subject
Fine...then your apartment. [If he can't have the ground he will choose the closest choice. Honestly he rather be carried at this point but Ritsu isn't sure if this guy will do it. With a whine he stands and moves towards Gaku's door.]
no subject
I'm being concerned for your health here, and you're acting kind of... like you don't care. Why is this one-sided? Or are you just sleepy?
[Honestly he knows IDOLiSH7, he knows boys who like sleep.]
Come on, let's get you on the couch. Do you need water?
no subject
Always been like this... [He was pretty weak as a kid too but he knows his limits for competitions thanks to idol work. Still is doesn't stop the fact that he was lazy but he has been getting a little better.]
Vampires don't do well in the sun.
[He says it very lazily and not even batting an eye as they head to the couch.]
Mn...water is okay.
look look vampire gaku icon
[What.]
I mean... vampire?
[What.
But he'll set him down gently after a few moments of wtf. Not that weirder things haven't happened to him. He's met cat girls and princesses now, after all.
He eases the guy up and wedges a pillow behind him, then goes to get a glass of water.]
You're joking about the vampire thing, aren't you?
YES GOOD! one of us, one of us!
[Not intending to mimic him, he had forgot this man wasn't from his school for a moment. So the whole 'Sakuma' family being vampires was something lost on him.]
Yeah, it makes me weaker...I'm energetic when the sun starts to go down.
[On the couch he fully makes himself at home as she wiggles into his spot and relaxes against the pillows. It was comfortable, enough so that another yawn escapes him.]
Nope~
:> fufufu
He tries not to look shocked as he brings the water over.]
Do you need... blood? I talked to a vampire once who was really weird about it. I just thought he was kidding, kind of. Takes all kinds, I guess...
>3
Reaching out a hand for the water he sits up a little bit to take a sip.]
I like blood...but depends on the person.
[Eichi's blood was not something he was a fan of...
The comment about another vampire...has him both curious and wary. With one eye open he looks at Gaku.]
...weird how?
no subject
[He runs a hand through his hair, looking troubled for a moment, but recovers quickly.]
Maybe it was just the wrong blood or something. Do you go by types, or what? I'm B.
[Look he really... does not know he just knows you're probably legit and he didn't imagine that other guy.]
no subject
[Details...he needs them for reasons.
With a shake of his head he sets the water down.]
Don't know if type matters... [A pause and a smirk.]
Are you offering?
no subject
[Sorry Ritsu. Sorry.
Gaku takes a seat at the other end of the couch, his own water in hand.]
Offering? Well, he was acting like he was dying or something so I offered to him, but unless you're dying I'm keeping my blood where it is. It's not like this is some kind of freaky survival game. I'd just feel really damn awkward if you died on my couch. I just got here.
no subject
[Without realizing it he says it.
There it was. A low groan escapes Ritsu as a throws a hand over his face. Does that mean Anija is actually here too?]
I don't drink that much, the other one...can be an idiot. [Ritsu knows his brother all too well.]
Fufufu~ If you die that would be a first.
[Rolling his eyes, with a hint of playfulness.]
Secchan and Natchan won't let me bite them because marks might be bad for jobs.
no subject
[Sounds like a complicated relationship with a sibling. He can't relate. Except for the whole. He and his dad are like oil and water. Thing. So he kinda relates to wanting to pretend you're not related.]
Like I said, if it's not life or death for you, I'm keeping myself intact. I don't even know you.
[Jobs. Hrm. Gaku frowns slightly, and looks Ritsu over with narrowed eyes.]
Are they models or something?
no subject
[That earns a little bit of relaxing to Ritsu's posture. The last thing he wants right now is to deal with his brother coming in and...being his brother.]
That's no fun...I'm Ritsu Sakuma.
[A small huff he sees the look and then smirks a little.]
They are but we're idols, we're called Knights. Ousama, Suu-chan, Secchan, Natchan and me.
no subject
[He shrugs and sips the water.]
Gaku Yaotome... [He sighs, and it's heavy. Like he's really concerned about something. What is this? Another place that seems to really like idols?] ...of TRIGGER. I'm an idol, too. More idols... What's up with that?
no subject
[A bite to his comment that Rei might feel even back home.]
...you're an idol too? I haven't heard of Trigger? [Now though he is a little more awake as he looks the other man over. Hm...yeah he can see the features there. It makes a little more sense now. He's not a bad looking guy either.]
Where were you before that liked idols so much? I know people from my school are here...Yumenosaki.
no subject
You haven't heard of us? Then we're probably from totally different worlds. Or... Whatever it is. Different places. I don't know how it works. But yeah, it's me, Ryuu, and Tenn in TRIGGER. We've been active for a while.
[Oh shit how does he even. Explain that shitshow of a place. He doesn't want to get into it, honestly. Settling back against the back of the couch, he stares up at the ceiling for a moment.]
Let's just say this place is better by a lot. Be grateful you're here and not there. They made us do some weird stuff.
no subject
Ah, that would make sense. So only three of you? This place just seems able to grab people from where they want. Or that's what I've heard.
[With a shift he sits up and looks at Gaku curious about his answer now...though the answer just earns a small hum.]
Mn...So you were expected to have sex at the last place too...but worse?
