▶ TDM .007


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.


Keep all Hands and Feet inside the Burning Vehicle at all Times
Iris Moon, Government Center (Arrival) and Outer Space | 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 mix tequila with xanax last night? — 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 that makes frequent trips back and forth between the moons and the planet. Faces onboard vary from both old and new Moonblessed as well as Prismal locals. The next destination: Prismatica.

A. After settling into the ship and selecting the current in-flight movie, Back Door Slugs 9, you and those around you may eventually feel a bit of turbulence during the movie’s highly anticipated climax. Did anyone notice it, or is everyone too focused on the hot characters?

At first, it’s a small jitter that’s easy to miss or brush off. But as the transport vessel travels on, the shaking progressively escalates to erratic tremors strong enough to cause severe nausea. A minute later, a voice over the speaker announces the ship will have to make an emergency landing, citing technical difficulties.

Sparks can be seen overhead as more ship parts malfunction. This is a good time to hold your neighbor’s hand, say your last goodbyes, and apologize for that horrible thing you did in the sixth grade. Grip your seat with the might of every god you can think of.

B. Another minute later, a follow-up announcement states that external entities have breached the transport vessel. Everyone is warned to be careful and watch out for each other. Small fires will have to be put out before they worsen with either magic or emergency equipment onboard such as extinguishers. In-flight robotic attendants will be scuttling around to perform immediate repairs.

Eventually, an entire power panel bursts, and prismatic jellyfish unnaturally spill out. The jellyfish will try to latch and suction onto any technological devices close by such as the television screens on the seats or communicators and will show preference to Iris Moonblessed over the rest. Be ready to help and pull numerous jellyfish off both the faces of Moonblessed and Prismals!





Jaws IV: Jaws Harder
Planet Prismatica, Outer Lunatia | top

The emergency landing successfully completes and the transport vessel will safely land on top of a gorgeous lake filled with tiny glaciers floating by. When reached out and touched, you’ll find out that the “glaciers” are surprisingly cool crystals and not ice.

The ship will be left hovering idly on the water surface while passengers are ferried to solid ground using portable emergency boats. However, civilization is still a distance away.

A. You’ve probably heard of flying sharks from a veteran Moonblessed. But how about sea lions? These aquatic lions are born with scaly skin and gills outside of their crystallized manes. Unfortunately, they haven’t tasted fresh meat in quite some time. If there are any injured onboard or near your boat, the chances of the sea lions detecting people will be higher as they are drawn to the scent of blood. Growling hungrily, they will be quick to latch onto the boats, biting the edges, and trying to knock everyone overboard for dinner.

After surviving through so far, the Prismals guide everyone to a nearby encampment run by humanoid rabbits. They are tall, built, and have a habit of mentioning their virility an awkward amount of times. They are also generous and will share their game meat and fresh crops while allowing everyone to rest for the night at the only inn in their village.

B. There is no running water all the way out here, so if anyone wants a bath, they’ll have to do it traditionally. The village protects a natural spring, which is a good place to bathe away the sea water. Around the spring, the rabbit folk’s friends — little scintilla chinchillas — will shock away any predators that dare to approach their sanctuary! Be at ease and feel free to offer your friends shampoo massages.

The next day, the rabbits can be seen hacking away at some of the wilder-looking plants for an easier pathway. If you wake up early enough, you can ask some of them for a tour of the beautiful greenery. They mention that it’s thanks to the Moonblessed that their crops have been doing so well lately — the result of all the chroma influx. The rest of the journey to the city will be smooth sailing.





It’s Free Real-Estate
Level 2, City of Lunatia | top

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. A new high-end boutique, Prissy Polyp, has opened in Level 2. As compensation for what happened, both Moonblessed and Prismals that were affected in yesterday’s flight will receive 50% off their total purchase. Those unaffected will receive 30% discount coupons as a promotional gift. All are encouraged to visit with their friends or special someone, try on some things together, enjoy each other in the fitting rooms, and deal with the loud, ear-blistering background pop music.

Their clothing collections are characterized by bright iridescent designs, some features such as design patterns may glow ethereally in the dark. One of their signature dresses features a one piece (also available on their trench coats) that can amplify the appearance of one’s decolletage, gluteal muscles, and/or bulge with the press of a neon button. Another item among their collection is the maiden sweater: a sleek, backless sweater that shocks those who attempt unwanted touches. Others include skin-tight leggings (also available on their shorts or pants) which produce pleasant and relaxing vibrations on all lower extremities and fashionable polyp-shaped hats for all kinds of people. It’s a huge shop, you never know what else to find in there.

[If Zim weren't in disguise, Grimm's immediate assumption would be that he was another insect like himself. It'd be nice to meet another, given how full of humans and mammals this place is.]

That is no excuse for not being aware of my surroundings.

[He's had the speech on Chroma and while he finds it and everything associated with it very strange, he has seen a lot weirder things in the course of his eighteen or so years of life.]

I suppose we might.

[After all, it will enrich him as well. It is a little awkward to embrace a stranger as if he were a friend, and Imri is very well-aware that it will allow the man with the impressive coif to lift his purse if he wishes... but the truth is, none of Imriel's money is useful here either.]

[ The shop was giving a discount so Billy could help but pop in curiously, what catches his attention is something else. Someone else. He’s very handsome and Billy does like to appreciate nice things. But it’s also his voice with the accent that draws Billy’s eye and leads him to eavesdropping on the conversation. ]

I’m not sure neon pink’s your color.

[ He has no idea why that was the first thing out of his mouth, but he’s learned sometimes it’s easier to just go with it. ]

You're a performer? How exciting! Should I be asking for your autograph?

[ irkens are pretty insectoid, so he wouldn't...be entirely wrong? they're wildly unique, though, all things considered.

he almost softens, a little, because no one is ever this polite to him, never ever, but he draws up to his full height instead, brow furrowing. spine rail-straight, haughty. ]


No, it isn't. Still, it was an accident, and you are forgiven. [ a beat, and then: ] What is your name?

[ he almost said 'bug-thing' at the end of that question, but barely managed to not be a rude asshole for once in his life.

then, he adds: ]


What are you? Zim is... unfamiliar with your species.

[ ah, there's the rudeness. still, there's a genuine curiosity, and he's not like, weirded out. ]

My name is Grimm. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Zim.

[There is no excuse for not being polite. Certainly not because someone directly asked him what he is - it's not the first time, it won't be the last, and he doesn't mind.]

I am a moth. [You know, those weird little Earth creatures that sometimes fly into lights.] And yourself?

[He thinks Zim's a human, he does seem to lack a carapace, but it's good to check?]

I certainly wouldn't mind giving it to someone with a pretty face like yours. Well, if you're available. I would hate to make someone jealous with you having an autograph from such a beautiful songstress.

[More points in his favor. First from acknowledging her career and then being a teacher himself.]

I'm a professor myself actually. Atsushi would you care to...?

[A pause and she frowns, looking towards the kitchen.]

Oh. Well I don't have anything to serve you actually...

▶ RABBIT PEOPLE, DEAR READER

[ Raphtalia is comfortable with the race of rabbitfolk, more even than the other Moonblessed. They're demihumans, after all, and that makes them like kin. It's a little embarrassing to hear them talk about their virility so much, though.

At least she can take a nice bath?

Alone? ]

I can offer tea, if it isn't too forward to invite you to my apartment.

[she shoves back at him, not out of any real interest in continuing this encounter, but out of habit. what else are you supposed to do, stop?]

They come in different colors. [just to, like, point it out.] But it's not like you can have too much blue.

[she might not care about the leg-arm-warmers despite her previous actions, but the idea of there being a thing as too much blue is almost enough to stir her emotions up to something beyond lukewarm.]

Imriel frowns. Given how much better traveled he is than most of his countrymen, he's not exactly surprised to hear this woman speak as if 'courtesan' was an insult... but he is disappointed.

"I see," he says, finally. "It was only a custom from home that I wondered might be also mirrored here." Since the Prismals seemed to have a slightly more d'Angeline attitude to pleasure than many from other lands did.

You are polite, which I find palatable.

[ pleased to meet you too?? the moth thing gives him brief pause, as he considers it. he knows what a moth is. he's seen moths.

this is the biggest moth ever.

he's also aware of dib talking at length about something called the moth-man, which he always tuned out, but it seems apropos. ]


Are you a moth-man, or simply a moth? If you are not the fabled moth-man, you are a fascinating example of your kind. You are so big! I am--amazed by your size. It is a good size.

[ he's avoiding the question!! but, finally: ]

I am a human, and nothing more. From Earth. Where I am trying to get back to, to return to my human duties, such as skool.

Before Raphtalia can stop herself, she's at Konoe's side, sworn drawn, ready to fight any of the jellyfish that come any closer, ready to save him from the flames. She doesn't know what the exact trigger here is, but she's going to protect him. ]

[ Yan Qing watches her with curious eyes as he waits for her response. Frustrating as she was last Halloween, he likes to think they've moved well past that. They're both Servants of Chaldea now. Doesn't that make them friends? He wouldn't say he was as close to her as Kiyohime and Tamamo were, nor would he say he can trust her as much as he does Izou, but they've got each other's backs, don't they? Maybe he's the only one thinking that. Ruffians always get the short end of the stick...

... Well, at least that doesn't sound like a rejection. Yay! He's quick to bounce back, playing along as he addresses the chinchillas. ]


Sorry to burst your bubble, but being a "total cutie" is the only thing she's good at. Ladies and gentlechillas, you won't find anyone more reliable than the great—!

Still red, he ducks his head a little bit as he steps back out of the apartment to let her into his own. It's much more modest than the other, decorated in mostly neutrals and soft blues, and filled with tons of filled bookcases.]

Ah, I see. I hope you are able to return to your school soon.
