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.

[Maybe he's born with it maybe it's weird Prismatica shit! Once the noise becomes less ground-based and more water-based though, N'Doul sits up normally and makes a point of mimicking Abbacchio's position. Easier to tell things like this when he's submerged and can feel each and every ripple.] It was. I just wanted to make sure no one was sneaking up on me, since I'm so vulnerable here. And your steps gave me a hint as to your height, but...

Geb tapping you confirmed it. Long legs. You need to eat better, but you won't go down in the next drought, either!

[Cue an ugly cackle, before he stretches one leg out and wiggles his toes in the air. This is his household right now, and he's going to make sure that's fucking clear, amen.] You can see it, if you know it's made of water! Tell me about your Stand, since we're new friends.

...Give him a minute here.

"...Religious connotations. To - well. That's a new one." Generally, the religious connotations to sex work Crowley's run across are 'don't.'

"To be fair, it's only as commodified as you make it. You just happen to generate money that's also energy that's also magic in the process."

[ suikoden is rather popular, yes, but she won't know a dang thing until he tells her!

she's a little taken aback by his question though, and she twiddles her thumbs together as she goes off. ]


Oh, um... I don't really have a favorite? I can get into anything that's trending, really. I have all the time in the world, after all.

But I guess I have a thing for fantasy? A huge plus when there's a princess where I can learn from, hehe. Action's pretty good too, especially when they adapted into games that I can play. You've been in my room a couple times before, Shin-Shin, so you should have a good idea by now.

"I suppose that's true," Imriel says, reluctantly. (It must make the actual Service of Namaah much more complicated, he thinks. Speaking of which... )

"It's because one of our... gods, I suppose you'd call them... would lie with strangers for coin," he explains. "While she and the others were still wandering."

[that might as well be his middle name. the reminder of it will in no way keep him from squawking.]

If I'm a headless fuckin' chicken, it's 'cuz the freaky space zoo animal jus' swam away with it! I think I deserve ta have no head! [heroism is thankless, Guanshan isn't good at gratitude, it's a depressing combination. sadly (or perhaps thankfully, to Hazel) Guanshan has jumped up and close enough to get a whiff of that deadly sea-stenched saliva she's wiping off. it's not quite getting rid of the smell, huh.]

"Well, whatever kept a roof over their heads." It's not nearly as much of a dismissal as it might seem. Crowley's all for people using whatever resources they have to hand and are comfortable applying to a situation.

Doesn't make it any less weird to think about it applying on a divine level, but whatever.

“Basically, yes,” Temple says. “They’re used in space and on some other planets. Wherever the air’s not breathable or not there, essentially.”

Imriel shrugs. "We call it serving Namaah," he offers, after a moment. "I've never done it myself, but my foster-mother did." (Had, in fact, been the most famous and celebrated courtesan in all of Terre d'Ange, but he'll just omit mentioning that.)

Do you need help?

[The one who asks is an exceptionally pretty young man of eighteen or nineteen, with a grave expression. Margulis might remember him fighting off some of the jellyfish with nothing but daggers and a sword.]

[Huh. You've got all the time in the world when you do nothing but stay in your room, after all. He wonders what that's like.

It sounds suffocating.]


I guess I do! For a princess, your room's such a mess that I can't get in there without stepping on something, but I think I'm starting to memorize what and where everything is at this point, wahahaha!

[Dodging the question and taking a jab at her pack rat tendencies in one.]

Then it's settled! I'll tell ya.

[He does remember, and he'd been impressed. He's one of a rare few swordsmen in his day and age, so seeing someone else competent with blades always catches his attention.]

I should be fine with some rest and food. Maintaining my enhanced speed caused more fatigue than I was anticipating, and it seems those jellyfish were draining my energy as well.

Temple frowns.

“One might be able to but it’s not necessary - for going under water, we use scuba diving equipment instead. And that’s much more suited for it than a space suit would be.”

[kindness. mo guanshan. it'll be a cold day in hell the day he's anything but selfish and noxiously self-involved, and these are his chilies, good and claimed, doesn't this guy know how to be a decent fucking member of society? first come first serve was the code of the fucking neanderthals, it's tried and true for millions of years!]

Don't you got a carcass ta pick at instead? Can't your kind go weeks without eatin'? [you know what else is in this cart? a fucking zucchini. you know what Mo Guanshan is about to beat Wei Wuxian's head over with? a fucking zucchini.]

[That position in the middle of a crosswalk, drawn through wire grid and motionless within the hustle and bustle of the area, it’s like someone had been practicing anatomy poses.

Exercise number Who-Knows-What: aimless despair.

But for this guy, it’s also Exercise number Who-Gives-A-Fuck: Public Safety Hazard.

Really, most accidents are done by people being way into their bellybutton and inner demons to realize that they’re surrounded by others who could suffer from that temporary (or permanent, you do you) lack of self-awareness and control. Not that he can blame them, actually. At least this guy isn’t getting drunk and driving, for instance.

But still, without much sympathy, a hand slips underneath Guanshan’s underarm. Hoists him up as if he’s weightless. He knows the guy (kid? Hard to say) is crying, but he can do it without getting himself and others killed.

Gomen for being man handled.]

[ despite being dragged into the human world by Nanami more and more often these days, Tomoe still isn't particularly fond of modern cities. he sticks to tradition, from his appearance to the company he keeps. so, trapped in a place like this, a natural spring is a pleasant reprieve from the miasma of the city. he's not particularly concerned with whoever else is here; not interested in socialising, but not feeling avoidant enough to stay away just because someone might speak to him.

what he isn't expecting is to see a fellow youkai. she doesn't much look the part, but it isn't hard to identify his own kind, and the origami creatures at her feet are extra confirmation. speaking of which — those are an interesting conjuration. Tomoe steps up beside the youkai girl without any fanfare or introduction, and he bends at the waist to peer over the origami rabbits, one pointed claw pressed to his chin in thought. his long, white fox ears are perked up with interest, his tail flicking behind him. ]


Oh? Are these shikigami?

[Guanshan's arms are open but it's purely accidental, like the shock of it threw him open and he isn't sure how to close yet — and really, that's probably a good metaphor for all of his attachments: tried it once and the door just stuck.]

[orange eyes open wide as he looks at nothing past Keigo's shoulder, his rib cage tangibly shivering as warmth strikes it from both sides. he's never thought of Keigo's grip as especially strong, but he still sort of feels like he's going to break in it. ...stupid. this is all so stupid.]


Yeah. I'm here too. [it's said low, words that are meant only for him in the noise of a square where everyone's trying to talk over one another. maybe that makes it a secret — or a promise.]

[he gets it, after all. he remembers watching people come and go. he has no idea how long Keigo's been here, even though it feels like he just saw him. that's the problem with time when out in space: sometimes it just doesn't fucking know how to be linear.]


You good? [and, well, he's not pushing Keigo off of him, which certainly says something about Guanshan's tolerance for him. maybe it's struck something closer to affection, even if it's just because he caught him at a weak moment, but there's the way he sags into the embrace that says he doesn't really hate it, either.]

[ With no one of interest within the apartment building, Sanji has made it his goal to head out in search of his crew, particularly the only two worth meeting up with. The shitty men can fend for themselves, his dear Robin-chan and Nami-san can't be left alone!

When he comes across some stranger with a head of bizarre hair, offering some mumbo-jumbo palm-reading nonsense, he doesn't take the bait. He looks at the offered hand almost in distaste as he plucks his cigarette from between his lips and lets out a puff of smoke. ]


Esteemed mentalist or not, I'm only interested in holding the hands of beautiful ladies, and you ain't it.

[ Granted having his palm read could be beneficial in some ways. It's not like he wouldn't want to believe the guy. But you don't just go up to random strangers and offer this kind of thing so willingly, right? Sanji's eye narrows. ]
