▶ 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.

Is that so?

[ Okay, Mayuzumi wasn't really planning on going along with this, but when Gen has this kind of self-assured attitude he can't help but want to see if the guy's actually for real with this mentalist stuff, or if he's about to witness someone fall flat on their face up close.

It's mostly the prospect of the latter means he does actually place his hand on Gen's, palm up. ]


Guess it must be my lucky day if I get to see how amazing you are, then.

[ Even if one particular full of himself guy he's dealt with before actually was able to (mostly) back it all up... ]

Dirk opens the door.

Dave is standing in front of him.

It's impressive, and that gives him a second's pause, because he knows it wasn't flash-stepping. It's his other shit, his shit he learned all on his goddamn own, and somehow he can't decide if he's proud or if it stings.

He's still fucking pissed off though, and this doesn't help. He stares, a long moment, and says nothing at all. Dave's calling him a liar, which he doesn't like either, and his brow knits, which is rare but mostly hidden by the hat + glasses 2x combo.

"I ain't. Get out of the way, Dave." He's at his full height, not that much taller than Dave anymore but still up there, and he's fucking glowering. "Not gonna ask you twice."

Now this. He's giving Dave a chance. Let him fucking bail and come back later. Or.

Well.

There's an undercurrent of threat there, if Dave doesn't listen. He'll recognize it.

[Laughing lightly he nods to the other man...it was a pretty obvious he was brought here before eating.]

Yeah, just a little bit. Zeno will survive though!

[Audibly gasping he looks around in wonder, he watches as he touches and then joins in before smiling. It was beautiful really.]

It's amazing...it seems so untouched.

[Him stumbling is going to give Lapis a bit of a chance to get her own feet back under herself, so Gumshoe can have his hands free.]

I've had worse and... I got it.

[Jellyfish are mostly water, yeah? So with one hand she makes a few gestures. The first she spreads her fingers out and Gumshoe will see the jellyfishes tentacles end up flailing out off of Lapis' head, and the second is she flicks her hand back in a dismissive move sending said jellyfish flying away.

And into a fire.]

[personal profile] riptidequeen 2019-09-14 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[WELL that's a voice Lapis was not expecting, and man how could she have not seen Pearl on the ship? Eh whatever.]

Oh, hey you.

[So blase and nonchalant about seeing Pearl, as she then turns to where the other gem is pointing and adds:]

I was just getting to it.

[Lapis sends, with a quick hand gesture, a ball of water from her wings at said flames.]

[ Oh my God. He did not just say that. ]

No. Do NOT. I am not humouring this racism shit. Dave has already sucker punched me with that accusation and I'm still dizzy from the sheer stupidity of it. Humans are insignificant. I don't know every painful detail about your train wreck of a species. You may as fucking well be invertebrates. I stand by my statement.

[ As their conversation continues, Karkat's growls die down. He doesn't feel nearly as threatened as he did whilst they were walking. The question, however, did prompt a new sound from him: A long, dramatic groan. ]

Hooooly FUCK! What did you just say to me BARELY a few minutes ago? [ He tapped the side of his head, just below his right horn, in exaggerated jabbing motions. ] Use your pan before it crumbles beneath the weight of its own rust. Here, let me give you a clue: Something about how we're not supposed to even be having this exhausting conversation.
itsknighttime: (dave040-appl-juice42)

No but you can't say I didn't try.

[personal profile] itsknighttime 2019-09-14 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
His chest is rising and falling, his muscles tensed and his shoulders down with his hands open at the ready. He knows he's playing with fire and he knows that fire burns. He lets Dirk stand right there, right in front of him, almost chest to chest if their height wasn't just that bit of difference and he looks nothing close to as scared as he is.

"Or?" he asks, standing his ground where he's at. "What?" He swallows and stands his ground as best he can. This is how much he doesn't want Dirk to go, but there are just some things he can't deal with Dirk if he stays. "You gonna try to rail on me? Think you'll get your answer that way? I'll step aside if you promise."

[He deftly dodges like the stupidly fast asshole he is.]

Yo, Megumi! I dunno what you're talking about, but I've always had the voice of an angel.
broyonce: (012)

[personal profile] broyonce 2019-09-14 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't a stupid accusation. The way you're talking, he was right as shit to call you out for it. You talk to every other species like that or just humans? It isn't a good look, mister high and mighty.

[ dirk, of all the fucking people, lecturing a teenage alien on inter-species racism. what a fucking day.

also: oh my god. he can't roll his eyes any harder. ]


I thought you meant he had a problem about something important. [ bluntly. ] He's either being proprietary about one of us or he's being shady for some other reason, take your pick. I figured I'd leave well enough alone with it. You wanna delve into the realm of possibilities? Maybe he just wanted to keep you to himself. I never met any of his friends, I don't see how this is any different.

[He punches the sea lion in the face and it goes down without a fight.]

Well, that was easy.

[He says as two more sea lions leap up from behind him...]

alas

[personal profile] broyonce 2019-09-14 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I ain't playin' fuckin' games," he spits, suddenly, in an oddly visceral way. And it's weird, because he's usually all about fucking headgames.

Loves them.

Remember how he said he thinks something is wrong with him now?

"You think I'd only try? You think you can beat me now that you're grown?" Who the fuck do you think you are, his tone says, in not so many words. "Get back in the apartment. Take your piss. Do whatever you want. Just don't get in my goddamn way. I already told you I'll be back, I ain't gonna tack an 'I promise' at the end just because you think I'm a liar."

In fact, he reaches out, too fast to be stopped, and scruffs Dave again, this time to deposit him back inside.

New people arrive on the moons about once every month or so? Though it seems like this batch took longer to make it to Lunatia.

[Once her feet's back on the ground, he releases her and takes a step back. Then he watches as she throws them straight to the fire.]

Whoa!! You really do got that, pal! That guy's gonna be fried jelly now! H-how do you do it?
riptidequeen: (Tremolite)

[personal profile] riptidequeen 2019-09-14 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh well... They're mostly water, right?

[And controlling water is kind of a Lapis Lazuli's thing.

Also that isn't an answer, but she feels it is.]
trenchdoting: (smiling animated thought)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2019-09-14 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Right, I guess they are!

[He doesn't know too much about jellyfish, but that checks out.

He expects her to go on with the explanation, but then she proceeds to... not. He gives a confused blink.]


...And...?
menphina: (046a)

[personal profile] menphina 2019-09-14 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's not answering my question, you ogre.

[ Granted she's now relieved because—

It's not like she was worried or anything. Not that she should be after learning about servants and whatever these withholding types have deigned to tell her.

She huffs and folds her arms after lowering her hand from shaking her finger at him, looking annoyed. ]


Didn't even have the courtesy to give a heads up,, you sod. That's not what friends do.

[ Honestly.]

Spring

[personal profile] strayknight 2019-09-14 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Ritsu was more exhausted than normal and it had him in a bad mood. So as he's pushed to the springs by the bunny people he just groans. Until he's at the springs in only a towel. At least hot springs felt a little more like home. With a sigh he approaches the edge of the spring until he hears the woman. Guess these are for everyone? Her response though is what earned a stubborn streak from the idol as he huffs.]

Well you're going to suck it up, I'm already tired and I'm getting in.

[Normally a little more playful today was enough to push him. As he got into the spring across from the woman he pushes his head back and leans against the edge. The heat felt really good honestly. It was already helping his mood as he kept one red eye on the woman across from him.]

If you like, certainly!
And then perhaps I shall cast an illusion to turn into you... and anyone else who comes to bathe in this spring will be completely fooled.

Dave's jaw clenches, the cold fear is in his veins and it's a valid thing to feel when Dirk starts talking like this. This is every bad memory of him and this is the Dirk that Dave is more used to. "Yes." he answers to the first question, "No." to the second, if Dirk was upset that he wasn't giving him straight answers, well now he is.

He stands no chance when Dirk wants to do something, Dave is a lot faster than he used to be but not as fast as Dirk. No one is. He might be able to out speed him through time, but he'd have to be ready for it and he wasn't ready for it. Being grabbed and set back into the apartment is fine, that means there's a connection there and Dave reaches back to grab his wrist and jump them both back in, closer to the kitchen window. "I didn't call you a liar, I said I don't believe you. You're the one sayin' I did." he's let go of Dirk's wrist as soon as they're back in. He's using future timelines so he doesn't end up making clones. "I'm not askin' for the world on a platter and I'm not askin' for a fight."

He tries to steel himself again and takes a deep breath, "Just say you're gonna and I'll get out of your way." Otherwise he won't and they can fight it out like they were destined to from the start.

[Pleased that Lapis is taking care of those fires, Pearl replies:]

Good.

[And then, while keeping yet another jellyfish away from the technology and the people, Pearl says:]

It’s nice to have another Gem around. I was starting to worry that I was the only one here.

[Having Lapis here is reassuring for Pearl, a bit of familiarity in an unfamiliar world.]
riptidequeen: (Sodalite)

[personal profile] riptidequeen 2019-09-14 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
And... what?

[She felt that was enough! Why is he questioning her? Also pardon her, she's going to just... flick a bit of water at the same fire she had flung the jellyfish at because it hasn't exactly gone out completely.]
riptidequeen: (Diopside)

[personal profile] riptidequeen 2019-09-14 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh good, Lapis isn't the only one happy to see another Gem around.

Even if it's Pearl.]


Oh, yeah... It'd be awful to be alone here.

[And a jellyfish that's coming up behind Pearl? Is soon going to find itself flung away and into a fire, thanks to Lapis' slight flick of her wrist and hydrokenesis.]
