▶ 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.

Right?

[Mmm, miso soup with turnip and tofu... or a good broth filled with vegetables...

Being called a "madam" is so very exciting for her still, and a hand raises to slightly pink cheek, the color thankfully disguised a bit by the darker shade of her skin, smiling happily before she dips into a bow.]

( ramuda’s reaction both infuriates and relieves him. at least he doesn’t need to confirm that it’s a lie. thank god it’s a lie. thank!! all the gods!!! he hasn’t had the painful encounter of sleeping with one hifumi.

gentaro almost wants to snap that he hasn’t slept with anyone, thanks, but the power his leader could hold with such precious knowledge... )


If you’re bored, look for his network posts. They’re aghast both in syntax and decorum.

( like who has people rate asses and asks if they’re a top or bottom!!! gosh!! )

Ehh, no way! Having someone running around with the same name as me would just be confusing.

[But yes, please, let us part ways with the lewd pants. He's definitely still in need of a good change of clothes, but he can figure that out eventually.]

[Because obviously-- crepes are more important.]


Heh. Even if I wasn't, I'm not going to say no to crepes! Or anything sweet, really... say, does everyone in this pace just get thrown out on a desert moon like that? You'd think they'd set up a food stand somewhere up there with this happening all the time.

[ She did notice the popularity of neon colors. Her first instinct that it was tacky, but she grew indifferent towards it after a short while. Bright colored things don't show often in a depressing world like Juno's. ]

It doesn't have to be close to my uniform. I just need new clothes, generally speaking!

[ She chuckles, letting Konoka take her hand as she follows with no resistance. ]

But I do like a nice skirt or a dress!

[ If she's gonna be here for a while, she figures to might as well indulge. ]

It would seem that's the case, although Beni can't figure out how it happens it just does~

[ oh, but good, this kind of information seemed to be what the other was after and that made things so much easier to handle ]

Of course! Beni is always open to learning, so maybe one day I'll be better at adapting... Ah, the moons though, I guess it goes through phases? It starts at the beginning, the first five days is Sanguis, then next five after that is Cordis, then Iris and after those five days are up there's another five days when all three moons are out.

[ at least this is something that benio has personally noticed and only gleamed from information at the centre ]

As for getting home... It seems rather random, I guess. Beni has looked around everywhere and hasn't really found an actual way to get home on our own.

[The host really must have gotten under Gentaro's skin. It was rare for him to see the man this annoyed with something. Perhaps he should ask the host at some point?

Any little tab of information will be bled dry by the pink haired man.]


Network posts? Oh! They do have a group network here. Let's see.

[Happily looking at the device it wasn't long before he starts to figure out how to search for people. Really it wasn't hard to spot the more obnoxious post.]

So...did one of these push some buttons?

( god what if he just lied. what if.

gentaro sets the kettle back and brings the two cups of tea over to where ramuda is sitting. he sets down his leader’s first before taking a seat near him. )


Of course.

( is it a lie? only partly. he goes to take a sip of that tea. )

Honestly, I don’t think there’s a brain cell collectively between him and the salaryman.

[A little information but a least it was something.]

So three different moons, they were telling the truth about that then. Benio-chan is so helpful! So different people are affected by different moons, right?

[That was some confirmation for that he heard. So he will check that off the list.]

Then we are just kind of in a lottery if we go or stay then...in a way?

You don't even know what other empires exist on your own world? ...I suppose you must have been quite sheltered. [ or maybe just ignorant!!!!

he sighs heavily when he sees that malik is apparently going to make not picking up the clothes he knocked down into a thing. he reaches for the wand at his hip...

...ah, it's not there. (right, he's trying on an outfit right now...)
he reaches for the wand stashed in his tote bag on the floor!! ]


Ala.

[ That bow says it all and Jin Guangyao feels his heart sink. Polite, too polite. He quickly sinks his teeth into the inside of his lip, making sure that this isn't just a nightmare he's experiencing right now. ]

No, please don't do that .... [ It's quiet, murmured, matching the dismay that Jin Guangyao just can't seem to hide in his eyes as he shakes his head. ]

I have not been here long either and I am still working on finding my bearings. [ What should he do? Ask? Try to find out some other way, or simply ignore it in the hope that things mysteriously vanished?? Each path had it's own merit but it's only because of who the man in front of him is that Jin Guangyao opts for the quickest one, this time managing to school his expression in it's usual, polite form. ] What is the last thing from home you remember, Er-Ge?

[A lie is a lie, but Gentaro is the champ of them.

Eyes flicker to the tea cup for a moment before he continues to read this train wreck. Wow, Jakurai's teammates are something else. He knew it but this proves it even more.]


Wonder if I can turn this to see if you responded, Gentaro.

[He was learning to search this pretty well. That comment does earn a laugh.]

That isn't a lie there~ They seems to have one track minds.

Mfff-- [His cheek is being squished. Speaking is slightly more difficult until Feo Ul releases him... So Rhus has to wait.]

There are a lot of games to be had here-- entire buildings dedicated just to games... Mortal games, in any case.

[But should he really release the King of Fae in the arcade...?]

( mostly just throwing shade. read to your heart’s content, ramuda.

he takes another sip of his tea, mildly desperate to change the subject away from his favorite folks. )


Is it safe to conclude you don’t recall your prior time here? ( the answer is already fairly clear. )

You've forgotten our daughter, if so.

[There was a special class to Gentaro shade and he really enjoys it. So as he reads this thread he chuckles every now and then...then the comment earns a look.

A little more serious he looks at the other not sure what he means. Though he did have that little kid that looks like him bug him about being here too.

Face returning to a more neutral look, he lets out a sigh.]


You too? Nope, some kid hassled me about it too. So are you saying I was here before?

Daughter? It's not nice to lie about having a kid together, Gentaro.

[When hosing jellyfish with the fire extinguisher didn't help, Ocelot switched to the tried and true method of swarm defense: tactical revolver spinning.

Could defend against a swarm of hornets, flying jelly fish were much larger and easier to bludgeon targets. The downside was there wasn't really a wall to put his back to, and he was neither stupid nor (arguably) crazy enough to try shooting them.

So eventually one of them was going to make it through.

The sound of the katana moving caused a sharp and incredibly involuntary twitch and he just barely stops himself from completely dropping the revolver in his right hand.

But then, well, his hand is still on his wrist and there's jellyfish bits dripping down the back of his trench coat. He twisted enough to get a look at the katana's wielder, but couldn't really devote the time to any serious questioning or examination of Bro when he needed to get his right hand back into defending his person. He wasn't a fucking cyborg ninja and that was the important thing.

I suppose brightly colored clothes do have more energy to them. But darker clothes can be lively in their own way. They certainly have just as much to say, at least.

Jingyi tucks the radish under one arm and puts his hands together, returning the bow, polite smile on his face. ]

[ titus, who has tried on a complete ensemble, including a headpiece that looks like the love child of a classic wizard hat and a jellyfish, a shiny pink windbreaker that ends halfway down the ribs (with the collar popped), an iridescent bubble skirt with pom-pom detailing, and prismatic platform high-tops, is not the slightest bit offended, but is happy to help linhardt understand the logic here. ]

Of course it is! Simply looking in the mirror isn't enough to give a complete picture. We need to see ourselves through others' eyes—from all angles, in three dimensions. And someone offering a fresh perspective might notice issues we ourselves would have overlooked, or be able to offer a unique suggestion. In situations like these, second opinions are indispensable! ...and also, I cannot quite tell if this skirt makes my thighs look fat.

It would have been terrible had we arrived with nowhere to stay; trying to find a way around a place like this already has it's challenges.

[ Mainly that everything is completely new. It's both fascinating and overwhelming, but Jin Guangyao is blessed with an eidetic memory. He'll pick it up quickly enough. Now that Feo Ul is close enough, Jin Guangyao is already racking his brain. Demon? No. Definitely not. Ghost? Didn't feel right. Spirit? Possibly, though one as colourful as this makes it not seem so correct. The ears are also throwing him off. ]

It is only fair, though I wonder what everyone else's thoughts are on the matter. [ Jin Guangyao snaps out of his musings, giving a respectful bow of the head.] It is nice to meet you, you can call me Jin Guangyao.

[ - of the Lanling Jin sect, carp tower, Jin Guangyao mentally adds, finding it strange not to have to give all of his information. ]

Yeah, they seem to be pretty truthful with the information they're willing to give us. Beni thinks they just hold back on a lot more than they should to keep others from panicking.

From the looks of it there are three types of animals associated with every moon. Though during my first month here Beni noticed a lot of people were nine-tailed foxes when they usually weren't during their cycles. But the next month everything seemed normal for this place.

[ a thoughtful hum, reflecting on this for just a moment ]

It certainly seems that way, Beni would've gone home right away if there were a way.

[ Seclusion?

That's the first Jin Guangyao is hearing about it and despite the calm, outward demeanour, Jin Guangyao's mind is already trying to figure it out. The last time he had looked, that hadn't been the case; he would have known the moment the door closed. Which meant —

It takes every ounce of restraint to not rub his own neck right now. ]

Lan Jingyi!

[She says his name right after to try and cement the unfamiliar pronunciation in her brain. It sounds sort of like Master Shen's full name, but... he'd said he came from a land with many people in it, so surely they didn't know each other just because their names were similar...]

Oh, yes! Please do!

[He reminds her of what her actual goal had been coming to the market this morning, and she can't help but laugh a bit wryly at herself.]

Gosh, I'm bad at this advertising thing, but... we're between two of the Prismal farms just down the road here for a while, then on the left... I put up a sign up with jinba on it so people could find it!

[Thankfully there weren't any other centaurs she knew of to confuse them with?]

Your friend is here? How lucky for you!

[Maybe bad, to be taken from their world in the first place, but. At least they weren't alone, like she had been for months and months until recently.]
