▶ Lisa Frank's LSD Fun House
anytime, anywhere on the moon Iris | top
Everything is darkness except for dim lights sparkling in the distance, a faint gleam that greets you as you start to unfurl from your dormant state. 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. Throat parched and skin dry and aching, you grope your body in alarm to make sure your possessions are still in place. 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 only rewards you with 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.
▶ Camp Nowhere
anytime, anywhere on the moon iris | top
Time moves strangely when you're trapped on a moon with no sun to guide you. Hours feel like days, and days feel like weeks. Travelling has rendered you weak and tired. Luckily, a few crystal formations in the shape of a cavern may offer you a small place refuge as you decide to nap. You notice a few artifacts left over from previous explorers.
▶ Interstellar Action Force Assemble
prisma, iris | top
Over a day has passed when a group of people find you worse for wear. Some are full of uncertainty and fear while some are full of curiosity and excitement. They claim that they are scientists from the planet Prismatica here to investigate the sudden appearances of rainbow crystals in the skies. That means you and the others they’ve located within the area. You are all a surprising find to them, and they are quick to load everyone in their transport vehicles for examination and questioning.
You all may have your usual inquiries — Where are we? Who are you? What's going on? Why are the pegasi so ill-tempered? — and the Prismals are almost too eager to answer. They do have questions on their own, so it’s only fair to trade. They tell you about their world as they poke and prod you, trying to understand what you are and how you came into their land. If they’re not trembling in fear, some of them may ask you odd and invasive questions in return, such as what the rate at which your body achieves thermoregulation is, how long your refractory period is, and if you would be willing to submit various kinds of body fluids to them. It's up to whether you wish to comply or protest.

It only takes a couple hours for the ships to reach their home planet. The ships drop the characters off at the city of Lunatia, where they will be given their communication devices and a plastic card they can present to certain landlords at any residential district for their subsidized (read: absolutely free) lodging. Officials at Prisma instructed the newcomers to await further instructions from the government, but you have a lot of time to kill before then. Why not explore in the meantime? Learn the ins and outs of the world, get a job, transform under the full moon, and discover the many mysteries of planet Prismatica!

Throat parched and skin dry and aching, you grope your body in alarm to make sure your possessions are still in place. 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 only rewards you with 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.
A ⬤ As you traverse the near-barren landscape, you feel something sting your skin. It's small and subtle at first, then you finally catch sight of it: an elegant, crystalline mosquito buzzing around from the corner of your eye. However, a pest is still a pest. After a while, marks near your welts begin to form strange patterns on your skin, mimicking ancient runes. Each rune has with it a particular side-effect that may hinder you on your journey:✾ The Mark of the Enchanter: Hallucinations, hallucinations galore. Your character will see everything and anything their imagination can conjure and will have difficulty separating reality from fiction.
₪ The Mark of the Destroyer: Limbs start to cease their function, causing you to stumble or try and get around one-handed. Other certain body parts may be affected as well. Look at the bright side: you can stop worrying about jiggle physics and hiding your fear boner.
⍢ The Mark of the Sinner: Your hunger, your thirst, your fatigue and your desire are at an all-time high. Your impulses are rabid and uncontrollable. Maybe you experience only one of those symptoms. Maybe you experience them all. All you know is that you want relief now.
These effects will eventually clear up with a bit of accidental or purposeful physical contact with another person, making you wonder if there was anything wrong with you at all.
B ⬤ Hunger starts to gnaw at you vigorously. Perhaps you consider hunting the moon's creatures to sate your hunger. That's when you see it: a thick, meaty, juicy meal on legs.No, we're not talking about Alex Louis Armstrong. A wild silver-white pegasus runs across the purple landscape, its hair billowing in the wind as its hooves smack loudly against the ground. Try and shoot it, and you may find your efforts curtailed by its legendary rage. Eyes aglow and wings beating up a storm, this pegasus is no dainty horse. Two thousand pounds of pure muscle swoop down and charge at you, all blades and ammunition deflecting off its impenetrable skin. Taming appears impossible; it will buck anyone away and leave a sizable horn- or hoof-shaped hole in them for their efforts. Hunting it, however, should be easier. Relatively.
C ⬤ Or you may decide that you'd like to take a drink in the prismatic waters. A small pond can be found just a few miles away from where you first awoke, but gazing into it reflects what appears to be a window into your own world. You see the faces of loved ones or at least someone very close and familiar to you gathered around your prone body, shaking it frantically as though to try and rouse you, yet your image lies frozen and unresponsive, not even a whisper of life running through you. Did you die in your world? Is this your afterlife? The questions start to pile up along with the gnawing dread that you may never return home again.

Luckily, a few crystal formations in the shape of a cavern may offer you a small place refuge as you decide to nap. You notice a few artifacts left over from previous explorers.
D ⬤ A comm unit abandoned within the cavern will display the former owner's idol obsession. As you tap the buttons indiscriminately, a holographic screen will appear, and you will see a fabulous recorded concert featuring three bubbly young ladies in animal print, singing to you about something called Cordis, a cat, and a bag of gems. Does this make any sense to you? Probably not, but the beat is catchy. You may even find yourself tapping a foot along to it. Don’t worry. We know it’s plastic love.
E ⬤ There's a small cooler-like container of preserved powdered food bags labeled with only the word “Edible” that can be safely consumed. Although the powder tastes as bland as you’d expect, it’s oddly filling, sating either hunger or thirst. But who will be the first — and the bravest — to try eating them?
F ⬤ A strange, pointed instrument is among the effects found in the cavern. It's silver, long, and thin with a curved end and a light. When you grip it with warm hands, it seems to vibrate enthusiastically and comes in three settings indicated by a frowny face, a neutral face, and a happy face. What could it mean exactly? No one knows, but you can fiddle with it to your heart's desire. Just don't ask yourself where it's been before. You don't want to know.

It's up to whether you wish to comply or protest.
G ⬤ If you react violently, you will be restrained and nerfed with a specialized neurotransmitting gun that releases a numbing agent through the top of your spine. They came prepared, so have fun with that! In any case, conscious or not, you’ll be brought into one of the transport vehicles. If you choose to peacefully cooperate, you’ll be provided any necessary first aid and a refreshing drink to help you recuperate after the rough time you had for the past few days. Each transport vehicle has a few small rooms to rest in, but due to the limited space, you’ll have to snuggle up with someone else on that bunk bed. Unfortunately, the moonshine fruit the ship is also carrying in its cargo has an extremely sweet smell that’s been permeating through certain areas of the ventilation system… Taking a whiff of it may inebriate you for the rest of the trip.
H ⬤ It’s a bumpy ride as terrain vehicles draw over various crystal formations until you see a large dome-like structure up ahead. Within its confines lies the seat of the Prismatica's government, Prisma. It’s a bureaucratic wet dream: skyscrapers practically touch the upper surface of the dome, windows glimmer with a prismatic sheen as daylight hits them, and small ships can be seen flying to and from its spaceport. The scientists, members of the Lunar Scientia, usher you into their facilities for tests. Arrivals are likely to twitch, tremble, and panic as Lunar Scientia fellows take and broadcast every embarrassing, unfiltered detail about you — height, weight, age, strange odors, estimated frequency of sexual activity —- to one another. These scientists will ask you politely to undress, too, but understand if you don't want to. They're especially fascinated by the readings of pure Chroma inside you, whispering among one another excitedly about the possibility of the new arrivals being a new moon species. What should they call them? Moonborne? Moonblessed?
I ⬤ At long last, the questions and physical examinations are done. They’ve decided to call the arrivals as the Moonblessed. They’ll take you under their care until they understand more about you. You're allowed a very refreshing hot shower and a warm meal for your efforts. Don’t worry, the meal was imported from their planet. “Planet?” you might ask, but you won’t need to wonder for too long. The ships are preparing for their next destination: the nearby planet Prismatica, where you will be dwelling for the time being. You're free to explore the government center until then.

Vanitas | Kingdom Hearts | ota
✘ LSD Funhouse: C ✘
[ It's not so surprising to Vanitas to find himself somewhere entirely different from where he had been previously. Given the circumstances of his parting from the Badlands, it's a fairly logical conclusion to him that he's simply managed to re-emerge here. Granted there had always been a chance of that happening after the final battle anyway but Vanitas is a bit special himself. A little bit of time and a little bit of negative emotions can go a long way to restoring himself to his former glory and strength.
Or so he thinks. Immediately upon attempting to leave, Vanitas realizes that his abilities are being hindered. There is no corridor of darkness forming when he wills it and thus making leaving his world impossible. That means he has to travel the rest of the way on foot. It's irritating in an entirely different way and the only motivation he has to push on is to find out who or what is responsible for that. Then maybe it can be undone and he can leave.
The aches in his body are easily ignored as he trudges on. Vanitas only stops when he comes across the pond. It's now that he realizes that he's thirsty and Vanitas considers taking off his helmet long enough to get a drink. Then he can move on. However, there's something dancing across the surface of the water.
Then he just starts laughing. Hard. ]
✘ Interstellar Action Force: G ✘
[ Honestly Vanitas hadn't meant to interact with the group arriving at all. There's already too many people in the vicinity and he's feeling a bit overcrowded. As it is, the reason he lingers is to hopefully get some sort of answer from these people that seem to be expecting them. Somewhat.
Though that rapidly changes the moment that they start asking questions. Vanitas' irritation levels immediately begin to rise. At first it's easy to ignore. His helmet makes it pretty easy to make it seem like he just doesn't realize that anyone is trying to get his attention. Then they start grabbing at him. Touching him. It's enough to make him slap away at their hands, snarling. ]
Back off!
[ It doesn't really work, since someone's already ripped his helmet off. That action alone has Vanitas drawing his weapon while his own darkness starts to gather around him. He's ready to lash out. What he isn't prepared for is the sudden attack from behind. Vanitas stumbles, darkness evaporating and weapon disappearing entirely.
Pity whoever gets stuck with him on the trip. ]
✘ Interstellar Action Force: I ✘
[ Suffice to say, Vanitas is not in a good mood at all. At least the locals are now keeping away from him and that suits him just fine. In fact, everyone should probably keep their distance. He's sort of pacing around like a caged tiger ready to strike at anyone that says something stupid to his face. ]
✘ Wildcard ✘
[ Hit me with whatever. ]
I
Not that she has any personal beef with Vanitas, but somehow she doesn't expect him to be exactly cordial to any of the seven lights. She considers just trying to avoid him...
When suddenly they happen to look right at each other at the exact same time. Well, so much for that. Time for a staring contest, because honestly she really doesn't know what to say here.]
no subject
Then it's Vanitas that is the one that breaks contact and goes back to pacing. The girl isn't Ventus. She's no one to him. What does he care if she is stuck in the same place as he is? ]
no subject
Hey! Don't ignore me!
[... Why did she say that, she should want him to ignore her.]
no subject
But this girl? She wants his attention. So now she's got it. That's why Vanitas stops in his tracks. Maybe this is a good thing. A distraction is welcome. Maybe. ]
Oh I'm so sorry Your Highness. Forgive me for not paying the proper respect that you're due.
no subject
Aside from to try not shiver at just how much he looks like some sort of warped version of Sora.]
I'd ask what you're looking for, but I'm pretty sure I already know.
[She didn't have time to get the whole story about him and Ven, but Yen Sid shared what she needed to know to figure out the basics.]
no subject
[ Again, she is the one that has asked for this interaction. By no means had Vanitas cared enough about her to have it. But since she wants to ride some kind of high horse... ]
Then by all means. Do tell me what it is you think you know. I can't wait to hear it.
G
But then she hears a familiar voice, one that was angry and made her angry in turn. She was just about to summon her keyblade and try to deal with him when... someone else did, and Vanitas fell to the ground.
That was unexpected. Entirely welcome, but unexpected.
Aqua moved closer to him and the people around him.]
Let me keep an eye on him.
[ The last thing she needed was for Vanitas to wake up and harm someone who had no idea what he was actually capable of. Him being here was confusing though, as it made no sense for him to even be around anymore.]
no subject
By the time he comes to, though, they are already moving. At least Vanitas things so, since he can sort of feel the movement, groggy as he is. The numbness is still there, but he's already testing his fingers to see just how much movement he's capable of. ]
no subject
Which meant she was in the perfect position to see those fingers of his begin to move.]
So, you're awake.
[ Now she just needed to see what he would do. She knows he's not responsible for bringing them here, so he was clearly in the same position she was in.
If only that knowledge were reassuring.]
no subject
Vanitas doesn't hold her gaze for long. She can do whatever she feels is necessary. He hadn't started anything though of course Ventus' little friends see him as the threat and not the fact that someone or some thing has managed to bring them all here and trap them on top of it all.
But sure. Vanitas is the problem here. He snorts, slowly pushing himself up and testing out how well he can stand on two feet. ]
no subject
Still, at the very least, she knew that he wasn't responsible for their current situation. Which meant that she should a least try to make sure that he didn't do anything that would... well, be something he would do.
That was going to be difficult, wasn't it?]
I hope you're not planning on attacking them again. They're the best chance we have at figuring out where we are.
no subject
I didn't start it to begin with. If I really wanted to hurt them I could have done so far more effectively than lose my temper.
[ Seriously. Some of these people that Ventus is friends with don't use their head - in his opinion. He had been minding his own business. Vanitas isn't quite stupid enough to attack someone that could give him answers on what's going on so he can get out of here.
Honestly the Unversed are a better way to hurt people than Vanitas just lashing out randomly. ]
no subject
... All I saw was you drawing your weapon and them knocking you out. I'm sorry for assuming that you made the first move.
[ Still, at least this meant that he wasn't going to lash out again. Or so she hoped, anyway. ]
no subject
The apology kind of throws him off guard. ]
Apology... Accepted?
[ Because what else can he do when no one's ever apologized to him before? He kind of stands there dumbly for a moment before snorting and rolling his eyes. ]
Where are we.
[ Immediately back to grumpy caged critter of darkness. Safest option. ]
no subject
At his question (or rather the way he asked it), she can't help but frown a little.]
I don't know. This isn't a world that I'm familiar with. And we're unable to leave, though I assume you've already found that out.
no subject
The pathways are blocked or closed off. [ He says instead, confirming at least that much. ] Good to know it's not just me struggling.
no subject
They're not just closed off. Whatever is stopping us from using them seems to be making it impossible to open new ones. [ Which was worrying, since she's not sure who exactly would be able to do that.]
no subject
Never heard of something like that happening before. [ And where Aqua is concerned, Vanitas just gets angrier. ] Do you think it was done deliberately?
[ Read as: Do I have to go and choke someone or is it just this stupid place? Honestly it kind of feels weird to be talking to someone so much. Especially someone that hates his guts and he doesn't really care for. Picking a fight, however, isn't in his best interests. Right now. ]
no subject
Neither have I. As for someone doing this on purpose... [ She pauses, trailing off a bit. Aqua's not sure what he would do if she told him her suspicions. But of course, the fact that she even paused gave away what she was thinking, didn't it?]
I'm not sure. But it does seem more likely that someone would be behind it, rather than it being accidental. Or just a natural part of this world. But I have no idea of who would be capable of doing such a thing.
no subject
G. I don't know what I'm doing
He's going down. She rushes forward, trying to catch him before he hits his head on something. Managing to hook an arm around him, but almost falling down with him. She can see them moving closer, but she shakes her head. ]
It's okay. Let me help him.
That's fine. I don't either
Don't need your help.
[ And as if to prove it, Vanitas is going to be stubborn and attempt to stand on his own again. It fails, of course. Oh when he is back to 100% he is going to make everyone that's around pay. ]
high five o/
Let's get you to a bed, Vanitas.
[ And away from these people. ]
oh my god i died
Like this girl. ]
Who are you.
[ And how does she know who he is? It can't be hard to figure out considering there aren't that many people that actually know him by name. ]
