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.

[ Ophilia's new to communal baths. She's also new to sharing said baths with—gasp—the opposite sex. The latter proves to be a bigger problem for her than the former, especially if the color of her face is anything to go by. To help the situation, she keeps her chin high and her gaze even higher, lest anyone accuse her of anything unsavory. This limits her ability to keep an eye on her surroundings, though, which means she's only made aware of Linhardt's head inching its way over to her once it's too late: when he's turned her shoulder into a makeshift pillow and made himself at home.

She's loath to disturb him (goodness, he looks so peaceful), but she fears if she lets this go on for too much longer, she may well spontaneously combust. Ever so gently, Ophilia has her hand not currently obstructed by Linhardt's... well, everything coax him off her shoulder. One nudge, two nudge, three nudge, four... If she's not careful, he'll fall facefirst into the water and drown...! ]

[ Ophilia doesn't want to be seen here any more than Jin Guangyao does, so when their eyes meet for a split second and he flags her down with a wave, she does what any self-respecting clergygirl wouldn't do: panic, then point tentatively at herself. He doesn't mean her, does he? Of course not. She's never met him a day in her life. Why is it, then, that he's so deliberately trudging his way over to her like that?

Her mind reels with the possibilities. Maybe he's a(n oddly dressed, but she's not one to judge) bishop from the Order, and he's ready to give her an earful for even daring to look at a store like that. Maybe he wants to tell her off anyway by virtue of the fact that a woman of the cloth should really know better—and she should! She also knows better than to engage him, though. To avoid what could potentially be a discussion most embarrassing, she looks left, right, left again, then stumbles away in the opposite direction. She can only hope he's not desperate enough for an out to follow her... ]

[ Exploring is the quickest way to learn about a new place, as well as adapting to a different environment, and that's what Jingyi decides to do. Everything is so fascinating, but also utterly alien that he isn't quite sure what to expect.

He's just heading towards the next stall when a rather large shadow bumps into his side, startling him as he glances up to see... a horse? No, that's not right. This horse has the upper half of a human body!

Sorry he's gaping a bit. ]

[She can't even push on her feet to prove how TALL she is, because it helps with nothing. Look!! Yeah she's shorter. Kuukou is mighty in her eyes.

Also, he did well to not assume. A maiden is still a maiden, even if she can crack skulls.]


Hmm...I mean, I do not mind if you choose something to go with it. I'll try it all on.

[Basically she knows by that look that he wants to stick around. If he leaves, that customer can smell his solitude and will definitely get him.]

[ Another round of boisterous laughter. ]

What a prank! I like how you think. Alright, Titus. Let's give 'em a show! And keep it family-friendly — you never know when a prude samurai's out to cut your bits off.

[ What a weirdly specific thing to say. In any case, he doesn't waste a second in executing their brilliant, genius plan. It only takes a second for his Spirit Origin to mask his identity and reconfigure itself, black fading into blonde, eyes now a deeper green— ]

Of course he is, he's a good little one. [And spoiled, but who needs to know that. Also he's stupid.]

There is a blank in your life, no?

[She shrugs lightly.] Even with a blank, the future is what matters in the end. We can only learn from the past. You can write your own story now.

[She doesn't even get to dictate how history goes either, considering the world is controlled by humans.

She chokes right after.]


W-well...it's not like we all don't wonder about this. As immortals.

[ When the pretty lady starts coming over in that god-forsaken sweater than barely carries out its function as a sweater, Josuke is quick to turn away, shifting his body so he's looking at the wall. His mama didn't raise him to be the kind of scumbag who stares up a woman's skirt! Also, this whole thing is making him a bit flustered? When Josuke does get up, it's slowly, and he's wobbly enough to need to prop himself up with his arms. He's still going to need a bit of time to orientate. ]

Ugh, I'm fine ... Just got a bit of a headache, but could be worse. [ More specifically, it feels like he's really heavy in the back of his eyes -- like it's in the middle of the worst summer ever and he's bogged down by heatstroke. When he does start to feel more orientated though, he starts to realise the situation he had stumbled into. ]

Shit. I promise I wasn't trying to sneak in or anything!

[ Magoi running through his veins, clock ticking by the minute.

What do you think you can achieve by living with that child?

A Magi wouldn't know.

The ruffian lived like Marga did: dirt on his face, down on his knees, clawing desperately through the mud for something to hold onto. His stomach ached from the air he ate. He was long resigned to his silence, throat sore from the cries left unanswered. Soon he would return to dust, his life over as soon as it began. Marga was no different. The weak perish under the strong before they know it.

And then Titus gave her the sun.

Ah, Yan Qing knows what that's like. Everything was so bright, it felt like it would last forever.

Your role will end, too. ]


"I"...

[ But he didn't know this.

The desperation of a body running on borrowed time. The sorrow born out of love, the helplessness against nature — did Titus always know that? When his master left him, all Yan Qing could see was his broad back, strong and steadfast in the distance. But what of his face? In these memories, Titus's hands tremble and shake, the fear so raw that hot tears spill from his cheeks. ]

( Luckily for Ophilia the man walking on over is not a bishop of any kind, though on the flip side it doesn't matter what he is; he's still headed in her direction even when the clergy girl decides to try and make a run for it. The reaction is odd though. Does this person know who he is and what has recently happened? It's possible but then just from the way the young lady looks, Jin Guangyao wonders if it's simply some kind of a misconception going on here, a misunderstanding that could probably look bad if he doesn't explain himself.

So it's a docile and polite expression that Jin Guangyao presents as he scurries on over, clasping hands in front of him as he gives a respectful bow of the head. )


I apologise for this intrusion. I merely wish to walk in the same direction as yourself before we part ways, out of sight of the establishment behind me.

( It's a long winded explanation in a way, but something Jin Guangyao feels the need to express. Otherwise the assumptions could become problematic and that's something he doesn't need so soon after arriving.) Would that be okay?

[ ooc: i don't mind flirting but it's all up to your comfort level! ]

[ It's always awkward to be hugging a stranger, especially someone who's a girl, but as long as he thinks of this as a friendly hug, it shouldn't be a big issue. While Josuke can be more shy with intimate contact, friendly affection has never been something he's had trouble with. He walks closer to her, wrapping his arms around her and finding himself needing to crouch lower a little so she doesn't plant face-first into his chest. There's nothing much he can do about that -- he's tall, after all. ]

It's Josuke! What's yours? [ And since he still finds the age thing a little strange to ask -- ] And how old are you, anyway? You look around the age of the other girls in my high-school.

[Most would be in bed. Like Thancred, Shar sought refuge under the night sky.

At least he had the decency to step behind the tree, so Shar will give him the benefit of the doubt. Any other Xaela originating from the Steppe well, that's another tale. Shar remained in the water, cradling her towel.

But when the invader spoke, her blood ran cold. That voice, she knew who it belong to. Her jaw hung numb, she couldn't find the right words to say. Instead, she covered her gawking mouth with her hand, gasped. In truth, she wanted to cry. He may not know her, but she knew him very well.

Without a second thought, she leaped out of the sping to where he hid and sprint. Thankfully she still had her towel with her which... covered only the front for now. Minor details to her.]


W-wait!

[Audible and a desperate plea from her and hoped it reached his ear. Get ready Thancred, he's in for an affection hard tackle.]

Unlucky I say naught! It's good to see you awake!

[Oh dear, the poor thing is angry and Shar is at loss. Shar raised both hands in front in defense. At least she didn't mind the up-close face encounter. The damn thing is so close, it could kiss her.]

My apologies, I had no intentions to ignore you. Mayhap you've mistaken me for someone else?

[Then again, she doesn't remember seeing another Au Ra or female Xaela. It sure reminded her of the Sylph back home, yet that wasn't it.]

What are you?

Oh, you put your legs around me, so I thought it was okay -- [ He thought it was implied consent. Rather, he wasn't actually thinking at all. Picking up the smaller guy was easy and the extra chroma he got felt good, so that's just what he did. He's fairly oblivious to how all of it looks until their actions earn them a lewd wolf-whistle from that stranger. Josuke even looks around to see if there are any hot girls around who could be the target of that rude street harassment, and there's nobody else on the street. Was that asshole actually whistling at them? Why?

The answer dawns on him when he looks up and sees his stupid manhands clutching onto a guy's waist, and a face looking down at him from above. This guy's actually quite the pretty-boy, but that's besides the point. He's standing here, lifting a guy up by the waist, and this close to holding that guy up against the wall. It's the kind of thing his mom would hit him for if she ever saw this!!!! ]


Hey, isn't this position kinda --! [ Kind of risque! After the realisation hits him like a truck, he's blushing immediately, and in his frantic state he actually drops Shino. It's like dropping the ball, only with a person. Good job, Josuke. Here's hoping the other guy doesn't hit his butt or scratch himself on a bush or something. ]

[Surolam's quite the good hugger herself-at least she's pretty good at hugging tightly, despite her slender-looking frame. She lets out a pleased sound as she feels her Chroma refilling from the contact, eventually pulling away when he speaks again.]

[It was strange for him too. Jiang Cheng wasn't the most affectionate person out there on general principle. Though he had been more exposed to it recently. Not only because of how relaxed this world was but because he had Nie HuaiSang living with him and HuaiSang had little reservation against putting his arms around him so they could both take advantage of moonlacing.

He knew how moonlacing felt. Yes, it was awkward for it being his nephew, but he'd rather Jin Ling not be caught unaware if something else should happen in the morning]

[ Good on u, Panty, for now bringing up the hair. Otherwise, another disaster will befall this plane. ]

[ There's an annoyed look that he gives her when she starts shifting away from him, her intent on leaving him to his slimy fate clear. Of course, at this point he's quite used to having to deal with sticky situations mostly on his own, so it's nothing he really takes offense by. Josuke just ... sighs tiredly as Crazy Diamond keeps shoving jellyfish into overhead compartments, because of course this is his life.

His attention spikes, however, when she suddenly starts hiking up her skirt for no reason at all? And insults his Stand! ]


He's not tacky -- [ Can't believe someone just called his soul tacky! But more importantly -- ] And what the fuck are you doing?! We're in public here!

[ Because he is a good boy, he will look away. ]

"Cenz, huh?"

Ace kind of finds that interesting. The places where they came from, here, there are so many differences. And maybe that's something worth thinking about later, in more depth. But for now his stomach is growling again as they continue on, and his mind is still focused on getting something to eat.

"So besides the Chroma thing, is there anything else I need to know? I'm pretty new here."

[Since Poe is....sort of obvious. Very obvious.] I'll have to ask him more about it some time. It'd be fun if his version of Ranpo showed up some time too. [Ranpo vs Ranpo: FIGHT. Or eat the city out of its snacks and all. Who knows.

She glances at the...vibrating pants and then puts an arm around Ranpo's shoulders to lead him away. Avert your eyes, children, nothing to see here

“Well,” says Greed, “We go through transformations every month, which give us animal traits and powers and other stuff like that. And the Prismals have lots of festivals, which often end up being dangerous in some way or another. And sometimes we get asked to do favours for the Prismals, which also often end up being perilous.”

Though it’s been a while since Greed’s done the Prismals any favours, since they are optional and Greed’s not felt fond enough of the Prismals to want to risk his life for their sake.

“But the festivals and the favours are optional. If you don’t wanna help the Prismals, you can just refuse and they’ll be perfectly fine with it.”

Uhh, he ain't a real person -- he's a character from an anime I used to watch in grade school. Though, you American people probably don't know much about anime at all.

[ Nikolai's CLEARLY NOT AMERICAN but Josuke's met like two white people in his life (one of them being his father), he's not good at distinguishing between accents. ]

Ace's eyes brighten a bit at the idea of animal traits and powers. That sounds really amazing. "I'm not complaining about powers. That sounds pretty great." He tilts his head though, at the idea of perils and dangers in the festivals. And his warm expression softens considerably.

"So the Prismals need help? How dangerous does it end up getting?"

Ace will never turn his back on someone who really needs help. So he'll probably end up helping whenever he can. It's just the kind of person he is. If someone needs Ace, he'll be there.

“Yeah, they need help,” Greed replies. “‘Cause there’s stuff they can’t do or can’t do as well as us, since they can’t produce Chroma the way we do and they believe that, ‘cause we can do that and ‘cause the moons brought us here, we are Moonblessed.”

He frowns.

“And it gets really dangerous. Some of the stuff the Prismals have asked us to do could have killed us, even.”
