▶ 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!

mirror mirror
But while she isn't about to go mucking around with the settings... She supposes it's not so bad as an actual mirror. You don't really get luxuries like that when you're a centaur gal from a version of feudal Japan. A mirror big as that? It was even fancier than a princess'. (Well, a lot of things in this place were, but that was beside the point.)
Humming to herself, arms freed from her kimono and the fabric bunched down around her "waist" to keep it from getting wet, Konoha brushes through her long hair after her own bath- Well, hair washing, she can't quite fit her whole body into the showers in this place. She would have been quite content to just brush away, minding her own business...
Except there's a girl there suddenly. A girl who is decidedly not her own reflection... and almost in perfect timing, Konoha flails back and points her comb accusingly back, her other hand flying up to cover her breasts.]
P- Pervert?!
[... Wait. Which of them was the pervert???]
no subject
A...youkai?
[She's seen tons of youkai who have a blend of human and animal features, so it's no surprise that that's her first thought rather than 'centaur'. Even so, she's not afraid, just a little confused and confounded. From the woman's reaction she clearly hadn't been expecting to see someone else either.]
...Sorry. I was just shocked to suddenly see someone else.
no subject
Ah- hello there...
[Still holding her breasts with one hand, Konoha finally shakes her head to answer the sort-of question. It might be a stranger in the mirror she didn’t expect to see, but... well. Talking to them just made sense somehow... weirder stuff has happened here.]
I’m not a youkai, sorry... I’m a jinba. I get that a lot, though...
no subject
Hello...
[Does she introduce herself? That would be strange, wouldn't it? It's not like there's an established etiquette for these types of situations. What the woman says next definitely catches her attention though. Not a youkai. Right. She guesses that's a pretty big leap to make when the Prismals here are all so different and animal-like in their own right.]
A...jinba? Sorry again, I shouldn't have assumed. I didn't mean anything bad by it.
[Calling someone a demon can definitely be taken in a negative light.]
no subject
[Was that a lot? She doesn't know. Her own world had stories of demons and the like, but she'd never really known if they were real... but she'd seen the proof. They were definitely real here.
But she and this other woman seemed to be having the same issue when it came to confusion over what they should do, because there's a moment where Konoha just sort of stares down at herself... and then. Well. It's a woman, not a strange man, so!
She sets her comb down and quickly shimmies the sleeves of her kimono back up her arms to pull it over her chest, smoothing it down a bit awkwardly.]
Did you, uh... Do magic on the mirror, by the way? It wasn't me...
no subject
A dog youkai? What do they look like? Is one of them a guy about my age, with white hair and dog ears?
[She points to the black wolf ears on her head, a silent indication that his ears look something like these ones.]
Magic? No, I didn't do anything to the mirror. I was just playing with some of the features.
no subject
[Konoha can't help but blink, caught off guard. What a coincidence? Or- was it actually a coincidence? If she hadn't done this on purpose, and she hadn't done this on purpose, then... had this weird city done it?
Without realizing it, her hands move up to mimic Kagome's as if this really was a mirror, resting on top of her skull pretending to be ears for a moment.]
There's Lord Sesshomaru and Inuyasha but... ears means you want Inuyasha, right?
[Sesshomaru said he didn't have them unless he was in his true form, so... Inuyasha? Was this girl from their world, too?]
no subject
Her hands drop to the counter and she's leaning forward towards the mirror in her eagerness.]
Yes! Inuyasha is my...ah...[Yeah, she's really not sure how to finish that sentence. There's all that stuff with Kikyo, and the fact that neither she nor Inuyasha have actually said anything to each other about dating. But it would be weird to call him her 'friend'.]
He's the one I'm looking for. So you know him? Do you know where he is?
no subject
Well. That didn’t mean she still couldn’t help out.]
He doesn’t like me much, but I do know him... and where he sometimes hangs out in the woods. Do you want me to take you there so you can check if he’s around?
no subject
I'm sure that's not true. Inuyasha can be a little grumpy, but that's all it is probably. [She nods her head quickly a few times at the offer.] Yes, please.
Uh...we both should probably finish getting dressed first. I can take my clothes into my bedroom and give you some privacy. [Since she's not sure when the connection between their mirrors will go away.]
Where should I meet you?
no subject
[Wait, if this lady was a friend? comrade? lover? of Inuyasha does that mean she ought to be forthcoming? Konoha hesitates a bit, unsure, but finally... errs on the safe side. She didn’t want to be accused by Inuyasha of like, deceiving someone he knew, and make everything worse?]
I’ll meet you in front of the moonblessed apartments on 2nd, but... only if you don’t mind that I know Lord Sesshomaru better than I know Inuyasha. If that’s a problem, I can just try and guide you with words... ?
no subject
[She blinks, clearly surprised by his being mentioned. Yeah, Konoha had said he was here, but she had just assumed he's been his usual, quite, and antagonist self. Definitely not out here making new friends.
One new friend at least, by the looks of it.]
Oh. [She can kind of guess why Inuyasha might be a little distant with her now.] That's fine. Totally fine. [She waves her hand back and forth, as if to emphasize how unconcerned with the news she is.]
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's relationship is a bit...complicated. But they really shouldn't be dragging other people into the middle of it.
no subject
Oh, phew-
[It definitely seemed complicated, she's not denying that one, but!!!]
In that case, I'll be down in a few minutes! I'll be the, uh-
[Wait, they can see each other, it's a weird not-mirror, she doesn't have to describe herself. Still,]
The "centaur"!
[Kind of hard to miss, either way! But she'll wave herself out of mirror view to get dressed a bit more properly, throw her wet hair into a bun, and trot down to the meeting place.]
no subject
