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.

burning vehicle; yukari's a few months before Arena from the FeMC route!

[personal profile] piercedyourheart 2019-09-13 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ yukari is also struggling to keep the jellyfish from swarming her. while isis's wind magic would be perfect, it felt a little bit like overkill to waste chroma on this. she swats away another that floats too close when his sword clatters to the floor. glancing over, it's the gekkoukan uniform that takes her surprise. when had normal students gotten their hands on weapons? whoever he was, he was in trouble. ]

Hold still! [ yukari pulls the jellyfish for all she's worth. it comes off his face with a pop and after she flings it in some general direction, she smiles at him.

why did he look familiar?
]

That was a close one, huh?

[Zeno really took what he could take when he was wandering. Still using a spring was always a nice time. It was warm and he could relax his body a little more. Even with how long he's been around it's nice to find pleasure in simple things.

The other's response earns a small chuckle and smile from the dragon warrior.]


Mister seems to have had a rough day too!

Comin' from me?

[ His voice is low when he says it, an added growl to punctuate his sentence. That's funny. A liar is calling him a liar.

His blood begins to boil, but it's not enough for him to punch Ichiro in the face just yet. He can take care of the younger boy easily enough, and he's not even one to talk to smooth things over, but he knows that being called a liar himself ain't worth decking someone in the face over. Not yet, anyway. ]


I'll talk shit about you all I want. [ The murderous glint in his eyes is only focused on Ichiro for a few seconds. Samatoki turns to look back at the mirror so he can put his own shirt back on. ] You got guts sayin' somethin' like that, traitor. Wants me to teach you a lesson you won't ever forget.
themisfit: (A bit ghouly.)

[personal profile] themisfit 2019-09-13 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Tokyo, mostly. Yes.

[ He's a little surprised to hear that magic isn't something she's familiar with. It's a quick jump to realizing that association with centaurs and fantasy settings is simply a stereotype of fiction.

It makes him curious about her world's mechanics, though, and about the variety of people that have been brought here. ]


I'm glad you've adjusted well enough. I imagine getting thrown into such a different environment would be very difficult.

Is everyone from your world like you? A centaur?
timefordinner: (01)

[personal profile] timefordinner 2019-09-13 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure, I'd be happy to help! I just need to take care of something really quick. You can come inside for a bit if you'd like.

[There was no mistaking that voice, booming and proper from across the boutique. There had been a moment when she had known Sidon to be here, but it had been some time since she had seen him--a worrying fact, given the nature of disappearances in this place and what it could have meant for the Zora prince.

It's more of a surprise to see him in a place like this, even more so to see what the Prismals are shoving into his arms to try on.
]

Those should prove interesting. I warn you, they may well try and get you into everything if you let them.
riptidequeen: (Noselite)

[If Lapis was a normal human being? Where Gumshoe's hands end up would get a totally different reaction then it does from her.

Which isn't much, instead she's going to correct him on one thing.]


It's Lapis, not pal.

[And while this is happening... A new jellyfish has happily glommed onto Lapis' head. Good job every one!]
nipzips: (to a deep sea diver)

[personal profile] nipzips 2019-09-13 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He wasn't trying to deliver a questionable line but that's just what happens sometimes. ]

Right, right ... Uh, you're kind of a prickly guy, aren't you? Reminds me of someone I know. [ But much less of a bitch, at least so far. Rohan Kishibe, you are the biggest bitch. Josuke was worried about overstepping any boundaries before (and he generally does not tend to get so affectionate with people he's just met), but the other guy just gave him the 'okay', so surely everything is fine. Josuke hugs him back, giving the smaller guy a warm squeeze.

Then, as a woman walks by and is forced to walk around them, shooting Josuke an annoyed look as she does, he realises that their positioning is less than ideal. The both of them are right here, standing right smack in the middle of the pavement in front of the restaurant, and hugging awkwardly. They are probably getting in the way of the people trying to walk by. ]


That lady totally gave me the stinkeye there ... This probably ain't the best place to do this. Let's go -- [ Without much thought, he shifts his grasp to Shino's waist and wraps his arms tight, picking him up like one would pick up a cat that they're trying to move. He then walks them to the side, where they won't be a bother. ] over there.

[That's his specialty~

Though he can't help but laugh at her following comment - ride her off into the sunset... where, exactly? To the edge of the boat? That'd just be silly.

(And, okay, to be fair, they could use some silliness right now, with everything that was going on, but...)]


I'll carry you off into the sunset just as soon as I get a horse, Manuela.

[Is he joking? Probably. Maybe.

...He's 26! Not that young!]

[Jiang Cheng had volunteered with the Moon Knights if there was ever a reason that they needed help from the Moonblessed. This had happened to be one of the times. When the craft crashed and they had to camp the village of rabbit-people, Jiang Cheng had been asked because of his ability to get there via his sword.

So he wasn't there immediately after the problem, but not too long later. It was mainly to help with standing guard against anything that might try to come into the village. Sure, the rabbit-people could probably handle it. There was something else about having the presence of Moonblessed and Moon Knights to make sure they were safe until they could get into the city.

But as he was walking around the village in the evening, slowly spinning Zidian around on his finger, he spotted a familiar face. One that he would never be able to forget in his lifetime. It was both a bad thing because now he had to deal with this world and a good thing because he could keep track of him]


Jin Ling!
nipzips: (like whispered dreams)

[personal profile] nipzips 2019-09-13 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hmm. Nikolai, you can continue touching those pants but he will not touch them, now that he knows what they are made for. Who knows where they have been? ]

You're one of those tech-nerds, aren't you? I don't really know much about this stuff. [ Because he is not a nerd. That would make him uncool. ]

I guess it'd be cool if they invented pants that could make you fly or something. Like Astroboy.

[What did Hilda expect? Certainly not this, as evidenced by the way she blinks back at him. This almost feels too easy—but when has Hilda ever complained about that? At the end of the day, trying on a scandalous sweater is a small price to pay for a spot of fun, so:]

Oh, of course. You're as thoughtful as ever, Lorenz.

[It never hurts to butter him up a bit—especially when he's the one picking out her sweater? Pick up these mental vibes, Lorenz! Get the black one!]

It's not something I'd normally go for, but... [Weeeeell.] If we're both wearing it, then I won't feel as embarrassed.

[Not that she had any shame to BEGIN with, but look, she is a very delicate flower... who doesn't want Lorenz backing out of this at the last possible second.]
wearingguess: (titus titus)

[personal profile] wearingguess 2019-09-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ but he literally just said that titus would utterly, humiliatingly destroy him if they ever faced off (at least that's what titus heard), so where's the thrill in that.... ]

I suppose that is true...
In that case, should I make your peonies smaller?
themisfit: (Default)

and then I went to brush up on my current X-men only to walk away no wiser than when I went in

[personal profile] themisfit 2019-09-13 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, right. That. ]

We-- The X-men had converged upon Nate Grey in Canada. He's trying to... [ He's not entirely clear on what the end result is meant to be, exactly. He just knows it's causing a very large mess, to put it mildly. The whole situation seems to rest on Nate having become unhinged. ] I don't know. He's fashioned himself as some sort of Messiah figure. I don't know if his intention is to destroy and remake everything or to simply force things into place as they are.

[ But it's something like that. ]

There was some sort of noise. Or flash. I woke up here and wondered if I might have died. [ If that's a possibility now. ] In all honesty, I'm now not at all sure what's happened.

Privacy he says, Shar's biting her lower lip. Glancing back, her eyes scan the Xaela from his head and down his feet. She's pressing her lip between her teeth as if she has a gil to say but... oh bloody hell.

"Isn't what you are wearing bare as well? You can practically see everything."

Gods, she said it. That sharp tongue of hers isn't afraid to speak.

[personal profile] crestfallenfor 2019-09-13 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe, in an ideal world, Lorenz's optimism would be worth something. As it is, though, being on opposing sides of a war, even nominally meant they could face each other down on the field of combat, and out there, there could be no mercy.

He'd already seen that firsthand, had faced down former schoolmates, and...

Well. Now they're here, which is a sort of mercy in itself, if only because they're not at war.]


Is it kindness?

[Wait hold on, rein that in, Sylvain. Too gloomy to think about. Laugh it away.]

I guess seeing you is better than being here alone.

Dirk is absolutely going to ride his ass about form and movement and everything else about fighting, but he's going to be impressed and proud too. It's just not clear if he'll show it. Maybe. On a good day. Today, especially, is pretty fucking out there.

Holding onto him, saying real-ass shit, and taking his stupid glasses off. It's so much, all at once, and Dirk is honestly surprised either of them are still functional in the wake of it. But...

Most important of all is what Dave tells him. He tenses, but not in a bad way. He's surprised, maybe. And hadn't even realized he was worried. But he had been, apparently, because then his shoulders slump. He squeezes Dave's shoulder. It lingers. "You did good." That's all. Don't matter how Dave went about it, whether he was ruthless or soft. He got the job done.

"Game over. Shit."
skinsuits: (✦ be careful)

nothing new ever happens, just the same thing different ways. hickman's run is A+ tho randomly

[personal profile] skinsuits 2019-09-13 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes. That definitely sounds like an X-men thing and definitely sounds like something she'd have nothing to do with. Likely why she doesn't end up disappeared with the rest of them to wherever X-Man ends up sending them all to...which is neither here nor there because Kurt has come from a time following where she last remembers.]

I see. Truthfully I was likely busy doing my own thing. Logan died some time ago. Rogue finally married that cajun, and she didn't kick me out when I asked if I could observe from a distance. Then I became the white king of the hellfire club because Emma decided to be the black king and gender means nothing to us.

[It'd be difficult to tell if they came from the same time if they'd been doing their own thing, but at least she tries.]

I'm sure I didn't die. I was in the middle of nearly becoming one of the most powerful women in the world, so waking up here was particularly horrendous for me. [This can't be hell because Kurt is here and obviously her son wouldn't be in hell with her.] Still, it's good to see you well.

[personal profile] fuckinghysterical 2019-09-13 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
O-okay! Ahaha! I'll try!

[She's not too confident in her strength, but at least average enough in that aspect that she's able to pry the jellyfish off, her eyes widening in relief as she falls back with the underestimation of how much she needed for that particular creature.]

Ah! There's more coming, we should cover our faces better.

[Bringing her knees up to her face, she hugs both her arms at the ankles, desperately ducking her face behind her legs.]
crestfallenfor: (《002》)

[personal profile] crestfallenfor 2019-09-13 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
No need to apologize, in fact I should be the one to apologize for interrupting you.

[Not that he actually is going to, though, considering the spring is communal and just anyone could walk in even now, but at least he's offered the sentiment, which is quite a lot more than his younger self might have done. It isn't a grand overture as befitting nobility, but...

Well, it's something, at least.

And so he sets his clothing aside and settles into the water with a sigh and a languid stretch that places him perhaps a shade too close to Ferdinand. At least he hasn't reached out to touch, yet, though he'd be lying if he said the thought hadn't crossed his mind.

(You can't touch ghosts, after all.)]


I assure you, if I was expecting further company, I would send them away now that better company has presented itself.

[Hey, it's a well-earned accusation, even he can admit it.]

[He's ended up grabbing onto a specific place, hasn't he... In any case, he doesn't really notice at the moment, as there's a lot going on.]

Lapis huh? Sorry about that, pal! [What did she just say. And then his attention is quickly drawn to the jellyfish that's clasped onto her head.]

O-oh no!! We gotta get that off! [But how? His hands are full at the moment, and he doesn't want to drop the blue lady... so he leans forward and just tries to bonk his forehead against the creature!]
wearingguess: (ass ass)

[personal profile] wearingguess 2019-09-13 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
You are overreacting! Bigger is not always better. Personally, I like any size of peonies, but I am certain many people prefer them smaller.

...And you have never turned into me.
riptidequeen: (Hauyin)

[personal profile] riptidequeen 2019-09-13 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[A lot going on, and not really much there for him to be grabbing.]

It's fine it's not doing anythi-- [That's a very audible bonk sound for when Gumshoe's and Lapis' heads collide, the jellyfish just using the attempt to remove it to cling onto Lapis' head even harder.

Which, either the clinging or the bonk, gets an "ouch" out of her.]
