▶ 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.

Lunatia, Prismatica | top
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!

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.

Please, don't worry. You were there first.
[ it would be rude to just take his bed when she is perfectly fine here!! so let's just talk about dogs. luna smiles, and both dogs lift their heads to greet him. ]
But yes, they are my friends.
no subject
Oh, no, no, Miss! I wouldn't be a chivalrous knight if I sat on a bed while a lady took the floor! That's not right at all!!
[ And just to show how serious he is, he kneels before her, offering his hand out to her for her to take so he can help her to it. ]
You've got adorable friends, Miss! I bet they'll be nice and snuggly with you here. The name's Vane, by the way! Vice Captain of the Order of the White Dragons! I'm from Feendrache! What about you?
[ The intro is important! And he's eagerly looking at her to take his hand so that he can totally tell Lancelot about how he was totally a good knight later! ]
no subject
she doesn't lie down, but she sits on the end of the bed, leaving him plenty of room if he'd like to share the space! ]
That's quite a title. I am Lunafreya, of Tenebrae, and my companions are Umbra, and Pryna.
[ she gestures to the black and white doggos respectively. ]
It's a pleasure to meet you.
no subject
Though her name makes him smile. ]
Lunafreya? That's so pretty! It's nice to meet you, Miss Lunafreya! And your friends! Hi there, Umbra, Pryna! I'm guessing Umbra's this one!
[ He gestures to the one with the darker coat, beckoning over to him. They're so cute...! ]
And this lovely one must be Pryna! Did I get it right, Miss Lunafreya? I've never heard of a place called Tenebrae, but I'm guessing you've never heard of any called Feendrache either, huh. Did you get picked away from your world, too? Or is Tenebrae- around this Lunatia place?
no subject
besides, that sweet smell is relaxing, too.. ]
You're absolutely right.
[ the dogs seem to offer their agreement, each bowing its head in turn as they are addressed, and walking closer to sit on their haunches nearer to the bed, in reach of pets. they might be messengers to the gods, but they will also never turn down a good ear scratch. ]
But no, I'm afraid I have not heard of it. Tenebrae is a kingdom of Eos, a distant star, this place is unfamiliar to me.
no subject
Hearing Luna's approval makes him laugh, at least- ]
Wahaha! I'm so happy!! They really are adorable, Miss Lunafreya! [ This time, he reaches out to fluff both of the doggies up affectionately, before smiling warmly. ] My best friend Lancey has a cute little cat. His name is Mute! Cutest thing you'll see. But I love dogs too! We just had a nice gathering around new years where everyone brought in their pups to cuddle too!
[ That was so much fun. He turns to listen to Luna as she explains her land, before he smiles and tilts his head. ]
Eos... huh. Looks like I'm definitely in another world here, then. Here I thought once I'd leave that, I'd be able to go home... [ But, he's prepared, at least. He looks back at Umbra and Pryna thoughtfully to scritch their ears- ]
Did you end up here alone, Miss Lunafreya? Lancey and I found each other, but we've yet to find our former Captain Siegfried, or even Percival- er, you wouldn't have happened to have heard those names would you? Percival's like, really grumpy with red hair and eyes, and calls himself the Lord of Flames! Lancelot's handsome with blue eyes and dark hair- and Siegfried's the best of them all! Tall, strong, and with bright gold eyes! He's called the Dragonslayer back home because he took on a dragon all on his own!!
[ He rambles, yes, but it's because he really is both confused and relieved. ]
Any friends of yours you want me looking out for?
no subject
I'm sorry to say that I haven't come across anyone matching those descriptions. At least not yet. But this place is very big, maybe you will stumble across them in time.
[ she doesn't know for sure, but if it's one thing luna always has in abundance, it's hope. ]
As for me.. well, I've come across several people from home already, but.. if you see my brother, perhaps. He is tall and fair haired, dressed in white. Ravus is his name.
no subject
[ Umbra and Pryna will get vigorous fluffs at the very least, and he looks eager as he smiles over at her. ]
So, you can sleep here, alright. Maybe your friends won't mind if I curl up on the ground? They might want to join you on there!
[ He grins encouragingly. ]
How long have you had these two? They're so friendly and nice! So what's this land of Tenebrae of yours like? What did you do there?
no subject
I've had them since I was very young, we grew up together.
[ both dogs wag their tails in response, and pryna hops onto the bed to settle beside her, but umbra seems content on the floor beside vane. he will keep him company, and also keep him warm! ]
Tenebrae is beautiful and lush, with mountains that climb to the heavens. It is warm and peaceful, easy to grow anything green; I feel fortunate to have grown up there.
