▶ 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.

Yep~ I have a group too named Knights, though only Ousama is here right now.

[His school had a lot of students that were all working hard to be idols. It was one of the best in Japan.]

Do you wanna try more? [Ritsu runs his fingers over the lacing and then over the sides.]

It looks good on you.

"Ain't how it works, I don't think." Bluntly. "Responsibility's still responsibility, even if it's shitty." There's a calm in him now, but it's clear he's not pleased with that reaction.

"Besides, you okay with never seeing any of them again?" John, Rose, Jade. Even he knows they were important to Dave. "Don't sound like any you I ever known. Complacency don't suit you. Don't try to play me."

[ Juno was touched at his offer to help out, feeling herself warm up to this world a little bit after the horrible first impressions she's had so far. She beams at the offer and hearing his name, nodding happily with her hands joining together in appreciation ]

Much obliged! That would make me happy.

[ She waits for Ayer to lead the way since he seemed more knowledgeable of how things go here. She'd wait a bit and try to keep up with him once they start heading down to the front desk. ]

I do think that room is nice. It's got a pretty view of the courtyard outside that I could hear the birds chirping.

[ She keeps their conversation going with a little statement like that, while her mind wanders back to her past. Chirping birds were such a peace for her and the others in her squad to hear, it was far better than distant gunfire. She puts her hands behind her back and leans forward a little, looking at Ayer as she walks with him ]

How long have you been here, Ayer?

[ there's a pause.

dirk looks over. gives a nod back.

he's absolutely a fucking tool. his expression doesn't change. ]


Thanks.

[ his accent is gone, now that he knows someone is listening to him. which is kind of weird, but whatever. he seems to consider something a moment, then adds: ]

There any alternate ways of getting chroma? Does working for it do the same thing?

[ he doesn't want to get intimate with anyone. he sat next to his brother platonically for approximately an hour and even that was too much. ]
sizhui: (Look up)

[personal profile] sizhui 2019-09-13 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ He doesn't add that Wen Ning was so, so very adorable and awkward and sweet. He doesn't add that Wen Ning, if disappearing means going home, only did so to die. Jin Ling's already drowning in information and his own thoughts. He certainly doesn't need that.

Instead, Sizhui holds out his palm.
]

Here... will you give me your hand? Think of it as transferring spiritual energy, only it goes both ways, because both of us get it.

[ Sizhui is not going to even think about how that makes him think of definitions of dual cultivation that he's seen. ]

[ Juno jolts back and gasps at the audacity of this woman to be wearing the same kind of sweater out in public, holding the clothes hanger with the sweater closer to herself. Even with the shirt underneath it was still an odd design by her world's standards. The tentacle hair was strange and a little jarring. She doesn't even know what race this person is because of that. So many question marks float above her head. This world is truly strange... ]

I... I see that now.

[ Can she just go back to war now? ]

Are you wearing it right now to attract mates, then? What point is there to call this a maiden's sweater?!

That's a whole lot of projecting, is all I'm hearing. Lotta alien terminology too. How much you even seen?

[ a beat. ] I meant what kind. Genres.

[ his expression is just still so impassive. not entirely unheard of for a strider, but this guy has it down to a fucking art. at the demand he lofts an eyebrow. ]

Demanding little shit, aren't you?

[ but he does, surprisingly, go. he sets the sweater he wasn't going to buy back and trails after this alien kid out of the store. he doesn't trail long though, long legs catching up with him and even overtaking him a bit, instead steering him down an alley outside the store. it's darker, which isn't a problem dirk was aware of, but it's also quieter. ]

Well?

[It was kind of funny watching this lady’s face change expressions like that. But he waited it out and nodded.]

Unless the whole town was in on some joke, pretending I never disappeared for three months and stuff. My friends are here too, most of ‘em anyway and I know they would’ve said something.

Also, the date never changed. Came back same day I left, probably the same hour or something too.

Dave knows better than to speak out, and to hold back the 'responsibility' and 'shitty' remarks he could be making. Dirk might not be happy with Dave's reaction, but Dave is just as unsatisfied with Dirk's remarks.

"It's complicated." where the others are concerned. Miss them? Probably, but he lived just fine with varying degrees of attention regarding anyone other than Rose in that equation and a lot of time he just hung out with Karkat because she's been too busy being aliengay. "It's not complacency." He sits up, slowly, he's not that upset that he's pitching a bitch fit about anything. "Why can't I be happy here? Because I didn't cut seven people in half and throw a moon at their first born offspring?"

Not really. Two months.

[ Happy? This girl's easy to please, much like his comrades back home. Ayer may think it's weird and sometimes annoying, but he actually has a soft spot for such types because of his friends. He's unlikely to ever show or admit it though, so all he does is look at her with the same serious expression.

Ayer keeps his eyes forward, walking on to lead her to the reception area. Most front desks in this world are either self-service using technology or run with robots; though there's still the occasional human front desk, it isn't the case for these apartments. So Ayer shows her how to pull the console, then brings up the map directory where it shows rooms in red and blue. The blue ones are vacant. ]


That room's free. Click on this, then it will ask for a confirmation.

[ On that map, he points at the room she wanted earlier. ]

"All shit's complicated. Ain't nothing that's simple in our lives." Of which they're both well aware.

And--he sits up a little straighter, and when he looks directly at Dave without his glasses it's a lot more intense than when he's with them. "No?" About complacency. But he also sighs, flopping back and dragging Dave back with him by the shirt, a little like scruffing a kitten. "I ain't sayin' you can't be happy, neither. Better off if you are. But how's this place so much better than home, now that the game's done? The expectations here ain't exactly paradise."

[ Mayuzumi catches the ball without any trouble, facing Kuroko properly as the guy approaches. His expression's more neutral than it was back during the Winter Cup, certainly; but then he's gradually learned to...tolerate the guy, at least.

...Some of the time, anyway.

What gives him more pause than Kuroko interrupting his practice session is what Kuroko says, though. It's like Kuroko wasn't expecting to see him around at all, and it cuts short the where have you been, anyway? he was about to let loose with.

It's not exactly like Mayuzumi goes out of his way just to hang out with Kuroko, but he had noticed it's been a little while since he'd last seen the guy. He hadn't really attached that much significance to that, but maybe he should've.

He'll just go along with the situation as it is for the moment, though, huffing like he typically would. ]


It'd better be. I'd be insulted if you'd forgotten me so quickly, you know.

Ohhhh! Two months? I can see why you feel so comfortable here!

[ She giggles quietly, just following Ayer's lead and kind of teasing his stoic demeanor. Just walking and letting her eyes wander at whatever catches her attention, Juno keeps up with Ayer until they make it to the front desks. The automated panels of the reception area was what intimidated Juno earlier, but having Ayer willing to help is a weight off her shoulders. She watches with fascination as he pulls the console and watches the electronic devices do their magic ]

Wow... These "electronics" are something I don't think I can even dream about. I'm sure even the elves would be jealous by these.

[ She does as told, gingerly touching the panels and feeling a tinge of satisfaction when she clicked the home she wanted. The simplicity of it gave her goosebumps, making her giggle and squeal that she forgot to click the confirmation ]

Oh there! Click!

[ She confirms, seeing the confirmation that makes the place officially her own ]

Amazing! I never thought I'd own a home of my own. Maybe this world isn't so bad after all!

He can't argue with that, even if he tried, but it's not as simple as 'well it isn't easy' at least for Dave. Dirk is so much better with this sort of thing and some days he honestly wishes that he never learned how to un-do small bits of what Dirk did to him emotionally. He says nothing, he's not going to argue with him. There's no winning in a battle and there's no winning in a verbal one either, even if you're right.

Dave's eyebrows knit together at the look, he's not angry still it's curious to see actual facial reactions and even still without Dirk's glasses covering most of them. "No..." he replies easily and right away. The yank of his shirt heralds a tiny surprised grunt, one of his hands hitting the couch cushion before giving in for now. For tonight and tonight only, they could stop being macho bitches. He knows at first light there's going to be so much more to bitch about and so much more to defend from. "'Cause I did what I had to, it's done and now I can do what I want to, I'm done." Giving in, again, Dave just finds a way onto Dirk's shoulder again. He doesn't hate it, he just doesn't know if he's going to live it down later once Dirk wants to tease him about it.

I'm afraid I don't know any better than you, Marianne.

[The tone of voice was as prim and proper as ever-- but the cast of concern that flickered through his eyes upon hearing Marianne's hushed prayers while their ship tremored and tilted along their passage through the stars revealed the thoughts that Lorenz dare not speak. A people-oriented optimist at heart, he was loathe to admit before the timid young woman the very words that he knew better than to hide. If he didn't speak, odds were that her imagination would conjure terrors beyond possibility... but, if he lied?

That would break her trust.]


As long as we're together we can weather this. You have nothing to fear; you're not here alone.

CAKE.

[personal profile] bergamotrose 2019-09-13 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Moonlacing? Lorenz had heard the word bandied around as well, but it meant nothing to him. But the mortal need for food-- and his own stubborn desire to maintain a properly clean presence in this city-- was enough for him to realize that he would need to learn these things before long.

....He had seen the way Lysithea was eyeing the cake. It looked absolutely decadent, with thinly shaved nuts coating the sides and the top encrusted with a generous layer of chocolate chips. If the recipe was similar to what he recalled from the handiwork of the chefs at his family manor, then the frosting was a rich, sweet confection that made one's stomach surrender while their tongue still begged for more.]


I've heard that it involves touch, [Lorenz replied smoothly. a knowing smile lighting upon his face. He could already see where Lysithea's immediate goals were.] Although I've yet to try it, the locals make it sound quite simple.]

Don't worry, Lorenz. All I ask from you is that if one gets too close to you, I need you to unleash that hidden strength and punch it straight in the face.

[Claude has to be careful with his arrows since he wants to make them last until he could get them replenished, but he shoots another one close to the pack into the waters in hopes to break them up a little bit.

Thankfully, they are close enough to shore that the sea lions start to back off before they end up beached. Claude jumps out of the boat before offering a hand to Lorenz.

[ Mayuzumi's just minding his business heading back to his apartment, a takeout bag from a local fried noodle place in hand, when he sees this guy stop short a little ways ahead of him and then collapse into a crouch.

He could just walk right by; he doesn't know this guy, after all, even if that spiky red hair reminds him of someone he's gotten pretty close to of late. There's a million people with problems in this world, including him, and this guy's sure as hell aren't his business.

He's about to do just that, when he sees the line of the guy's shoulders is trembling, as if he's...

...Damn it.

Mayuzumi stops short, turning to face the guy. ]


...Hey. Don't puke in the middle of the sidewalk.

[ Of course, whether this guy actually even notices Mayuzumi's right there before he says a word's up in the air... ]

Punch?! Please, Claude. What sort of person do you take me for?

[But he would punch. And kick, despite the fact that brawling was far from a strength of his. Where was Raphael when they needed him?

Huffing in mock irritation-- for this had become a distinct pattern between them, one that brought an odd comfort in this bizarre environment, Lorenz took the offered hand and gracefully splashed down into the shallow waters to help.]


...We have survived worse, [he agreed,] And we shall again. With our strengths and wits combined, this realm should hardly prove itself too difficult for us.

Ugh. It's better than complaining about something no one can change right now.

[ Everyone pretty much has to get comfortable eventually. Juno seems very cheerful and optimistic, so Ayer isn't worried. She'll be able to adjust well as long as she maintains that positivity. He's more worried about the growing embarrassment in him since her bright energy is making him conscious… ]

I'm not sure how they work either. There's technology in my world, but they're nothing compared to this world's advancement.

[ It's actually pretty frightening at first, but Ayer learned to adjust. He's a skyfarer, an adventurer per se, so he's thankfully experienced on dealing with the unknown. It helps that the locals are nice and accommodating for the most part.

When Juno is finished, Ayer returns the console and turns to face her again. ]


… Never thought? What?

I guess it’s been a while since you’ve eaten?

[ Presently the boats land, and he steps off, marveling at the strange world. He reaches down to touch one of the ice crystals at the water’s edge—and is surprised to find that it’s not at all cold to the touch, but merely cool as if it were a precious gem. ]

All of these strange creatures and now smoke. They certainly like to keep things entertain—

[ He stops talking suddenly, because where one of those “strange creatures” stung him, his hand is numb. No, not just the hand. His whole arm is tingling. Fortunately the hand holding the little man’s collar is still functioning, so little risk of dropping him again—for now. ]

The same could be said of you.

[Lorenz said, genuinely meaning the words as he showed Ferdinand in. There had hardly been a chance to touch base with any of his contacts in from the Black Eagles or Blue Lions since war had broken out across the continent-- all of their efforts had been focused on their duty to their country and their loyalty to their family. Whatever difficult choices were made during those years, Lorenz knew that it was nothing personal.

As Nobles, they had responsibilities to uphold. Friendly contacts would have to wait until peace was achieved.

Once inside, Lorenz pulled out a tin of tea he had found in the shops. The leaves smelled of bergamot, and he hoped that the blend was similar to the one he had enjoyed growing up.]


...Did you bring your own tea, or would you like to try what I found? We've much to discuss-- particularly with the strange rumors I've heard on the street.]

A little? [Excuse you, he's the cutest girl on the block- Claude raises a brow as he enters the apartment to look at the curtains. And Hilda is right, it's basically yikes.]

I think you can pull off the complete rainbow hair look way better, but I can definitely make the braid work.

[And he takes the friendly bullying with ease. Claude scans around the living room. At least there is one part of the place Claude is fond of and that's a starry ceiling that fits perfectly with the lights.]

Curtains can be changed, but there is a lot of space compared to the others. I'm sure once this place got redecorated, it will earn the Hilda seal of approval.

[Even if he has to tempt her to help with it because while he doesn't have an artist eye, he does know what he likes and all.]
