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.

"I mean, aren't we all from earth? 's what the priests say, anyway." He looked up and down at the stranger, considering. "Kurt Wagner. I'm Asra, just Asra." The hand was taken, gently grasped- and he jumped at the faint spark of energy, vaguely felt more than anything else. His hand jerked back, and he stared down at it with suspicion. "Did you... feel that?"

[ Figuring out the stove was very much a trial and error process, something Ferdinand chooses to omit as he starts to fill the teacup with water from the faucet. Not too cold, not too hot... best to let the heat from the stove take care of that, he's learned. ]

Please, think nothing of it. I am the unannounced guest, after all.

[ He places the teapot on the stove, and with practiced meticulousness, sets the dial to the optimal temperature. As new as the technology is to him, having a degree of control over the heat that he didn't have with just an open flame is quite convenient. ]

And I am from a land called Fódlan. More specifically, I hail from the Adrestian Empire. I suspect it is from a different world from yours, as I have met many who have never heard of it, just I have not heard of this strange place you describe that serves tea over ice.

[ He tries not to sound too judgmental about it, as he's been proven wrong about plenty of things in his life, but the very idea of diluting perfectly good tea with ice... it just seems wrong to him.

As the water continues to heat, he is able to turn completely to face his host. ]


And what about yourself? I'm quite curious to know about the worlds that each of us is from.

But a kid, huh... [As he pats the panda's back, he hums in thought.] Did you know, Vietnam? No, Sen. Servants aren't alive in the first place, so they can't have children. Well, I never really existed in the first place...

[ Ferdinand nods with a confident smile as he approaches the stove, his hands already upon the dial to turn the heat to just the right level. Though he won't say as much, before he even approached his first neighbor, he had already practiced with several batches of tea. He is nothing if not a bit of a perfectionist. ]

Only well enough to make tea right now, I'm afraid. But I believe there is nothing I cannot learn if I set my mind to it!

[ That may sound like a boast to some people, but to Ferdinand, it's an acknowledgement that he still has much more to learn. But he's clearly quite practiced at this, as he starts to set up the tea set even as the tea is brewing. There are two little cups, a few small baked treats, a little bowl with a few cubes of sugar, and even a little saucer with some sort of cream. ]

This really is a strange place to me. As you said, we seem to be rewarded for simple, platonic acts of physical affection. And the technology here is much more advanced that what I have seen in my own world. But I suppose this place has an appeal of its own.

[ This girl really knows a lot of random and somewhat disgusting facts!! Her knowledge on dealing with marine life reminds him a little bit of Jotaro. That's just how Jotaro is; the guy seems to know a little bit of everything, no matter how trivial, and marine biology happens to be his area of expertise. Meanwhile, Josuke can barely remember what he learns in biology in school. ]

Name's Josuke. It's nice to meet ya, Jolyne. We should probably go to the side to do this or something. It'd be kinda weird to be hugging out in the middle of the pavement.

[ And in front of the restaurant where people are trying to walk out, no doubt. ]

My nephew's pretty into that marine biology crap too. Got himself a PhD and everything. [ Josuke looks ... around 20 but carries himself like a teenager. He acknowledges that it's strange that he has a nephew with a doctorate. ] You close with your dad?

He blinks a few times. Is this really happening?

"Well, you see..."

Okay, so he can't possibly lie. Not when Titus is being so earnest? No, he'll have to pay him back by executing his moves properly.

"... they're pretty sinister."

Taking the other ring, he slowly spins them around his wrists before looking at another sea lion that looks mesmerized by the glinting of the metal.

"I'll back you up, okay?"

[ a looker? well, dang... seji knows what to say to get an auri man to blush! it might be a little hard to see, but it's there, partially hidden by those horns and scales. the dancer raises his hand up to cover his mouth, mostly to pretend that he's trying to think about what this miqo'te is offering, but honestly sonsoh is just trying to keep his smile from showing. he knows that the smile of a xaela can, at times, look pretty menacing. ]

Strangling me? [ maybe he should worry because he didn't think of that being a possibility. the one piece might try to make him look so good that he might also die, which is a problem given that he would like to live long enough to put this cat in his heart, and everyone knows the easiest way to a man's heart is his mouf, so. ]

But if you rip it off, then I'll be... ah, exposed.

[ that's going to be a problem, right? or is there no other way? especially when he looks for something else he could put on instead. but as long as he doesn't touch that button again, surely nothing could possibly go wrong! ]

[Confidence was key! It seems like the other was really good at this. Zeno should pay some attention but the kitchen was so advanced from what he was used to. Fire was good right? Just light a fire and start to cook that was the easy way.]

That's something! Zeno doesn't even know how to turn it on. So you are ahead of Zeno there.

[Sitting comfortable in the chair he watches the other set up the tea. It was pretty fancy to his standards but it was nice.]

Yeah. It seems to really want us getting cozy with each other. It's really advanced? Zeno didn't think people could do things like this!

[ Once upon a time, there was a Ferdinand who would have expected more formality from a fellow noble like Sylvain. But that Ferdinand has grown and gotten to know his fellow students from the Officers Academy, some more so than others. Now, the informality is a relief rather than a minor annoyance. And he would hardly accept an apology were one even offered. ]

That's quite kind of you to say. I must admit, I much prefer meeting my former schoolmates in situations such as this. While these have been an eventful past few days, at least we are granted a respite from fighting.

[ He seems truly relaxed in the spring, so much so that he seems not to notice that Sylvain has sat closer to him than he normally would. Perhaps that's because he's simply glad to see an old schoolmate, even one he only talked to on occasion. They were in different classes, after all...

Well, at the beginning, anyway. His memories are possibly quite a bit different than Sylvain's, but he has no way of knowing that. ]

[Perhaps it was a little his fault for not actually announcing his presence, since like any cat with a bell on it's collar, he could walk silently in his spurs or announce every step. He was just going to feed the chinchillas but the bully in him couldn't resist taking a jab.]

Sorry sweetheart, you don't have anything I'm interested in.

[Little thing like the spring being occupied wasn't going to stop him enjoying feeding adorable animals.]

I don't need to anymore. Just keep it where my eyes can't see. It's likely the knights will find you long before anyone else does anyway.

[ There is genuine surprise in Ferdinand's eyes when he sees his professor, as well as relief. He had thought himself to be completely stranded, but for some reason, seeing the instructor that he regards as such an important figure in his life makes him feel reassured, as if things will be alright.

So much so that he almost forgets about the turbulence, about to unbuckle his seat belt to get up and properly greet him when the same jitter that sends Byleth into the vacant seat next to him presses him hard into his own chair, causing a rather worried look to cross his face for a brief moment. ]


Professor! That's correct, I spent three days with some other people before these Moon Knights rescued us. I had thought myself completely lost, but if you're here, then I will see that as a sign of providence!

[ Assuming they survive this ride, that is. ]

[It definitely has helped - her spirit power got rid of the corruption, but the technology has done wonders to amplify the speed her body repairs the damage it couldn't hold off. Still, she isn't perfect yet, and it'll probably be a little bit. They mentioned at this point it's probably best for her to heal naturally.]

I... yes, I understand. There's no way that we know of to go back, is there? [Much as this has been a welcome reprieve, she... knows it's not a luxury she can have.] I think, though, it will always be on my mind.

[She already failed her duties once. This is worse than just failure - now she's just abandoned them all to their fate, though not by choice. The Black Water must not overflow. And yet, without the Great Pillar holding the barrier over the mountain in place, there is no other recourse.] ... I think I would also like to stop standing out here so much, though. [She likes attention, but she's still dealing with how to work with so many people being around and her mitori.]

I already said I don't need it! My meal isn't going any-!!

[ He gags a bit and holds his hand before his mouth before managing to swallow down whatever it is like a champ. He might be sweating and a little pale, but he's insistent that he's fine. He's been traveling on an airship for months, of all things! He should be more than used to this. ]

See. I am certain it will smooth out well enough given time. This is my second time aboard this vessel.

[ Which he hadn't expected, but this land has its wealth in strange occurrences. Percival is actually rather relieved to have some of his memories return to him even if others have dimmed considerably... ]

[ He presents his hands to let her take a look over his torn sleeves, where there are a few surface scratches on his skin from a few close calls. But there are no wounds, or nothing that needs any attention, at any rate. ]

I am quite fine, Marianne. One of those creatures managed to get closer than I would have liked, but it was only my clothing that suffered for it.

[ His smile warms, and he recalls just how far she's come from the girl he first met in the Officers Academy. But even in those days, there was an undeniable kindness to her. ]

What about you? I know you are capable of handling yourself, but it would be no good at all if you were to be so busy tending to everyone else's injuries that you neglect any of your own.

[ Despite the gentle admonishment, there is a hint of concern in his voice. He doesn't intend just to ask if she's alright physically, but also to see how she's feeling emotionally. These are very unusual circumstances for them. ]

[ There are few faces here that he would be as happy to see as Manuela's. She was, after all, such an inspiration to him during his youth. ]

You are quite correct. I was also going to investigate the selection of teas at one of the stores I found. Perhaps you would care to join me once I have made a suitable purchase, but not until I have mastered the kitchen! It wouldn't do for me to serve you substandard tea.

[ It would be a small bit of normalcy, the way he sees it. Between the war back home and the unusual circumstances they find themselves in right now, they could both probably use it. ]

Well... [That's an interesting question. Ouse looks over the dresses again, and then...] I like some of these. Perhaps I should... make sure they fit, correct? Because they are pre-made?

[What even is her size. What even is a size? She'll pick through some of the dresses until she finds ones that she likes - including ones that aren't exactly Christmas flavored, and... maybe guess on her size?] If they're all the same I should be able to get one of each of these...?

Yes. A village in the mountains was exactly what it was. [Or... that's where she grew up.] No, I suppose, in truth it was merely a shrine in the mountains where I spent my days. [So, even smaller, though... honestly it was sort of village-like if you count all the various religious buildings for all the different purposes, and that there were a dozen or so people that lived there permanently.]

Yes. And even then, with our duties as they were, we didn't see some people very often at all.

[ It has only been two months since Ayer came to Lunatia, so he's still living at some of the freely assigned apartment buildings. These particular ones where he's staying are called Diurnal and Nocturnal Apartments (DNA), twin buildings attached to each other. He's been told that some people from his homeworld lived here before, so he decided to inherit one of the rooms they left behind.

Anyway, Ayer was getting ready to head out when he encounters this new (cute) face in the main hallway. Since these are buildings full of Moonblessed, and considering the timing of the month, he can already guess that she's new. He looks at her for a moment and was about to continue walking on, but something about her reminded him of a friend from home.

That alone makes him unable to completely walk away, so he turns back around. ]
