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.

[ As long as he doesn't touch without permission, Midorima won't complain about him looking. It's hard not to look, especially when you first arrive. ]

Everyone from another world is "moonblessed" by a different moon. It means that we're capable of generating energy called chroma, but also that we take on attributes of the moon's representative animals. The moon in the sky right now is Cordis moon, but there are two other moons as well. The rabbits appear under the Iris moon, which will start on the 11th this month. Many moonblessed don't exhibit features the first few weeks after they arrive here, so you may not get yours until next month.

[ It's true, he doesn't know what either of those words mean. But the man seems to have some familiarity with what he's describing, which is encouraging. "Monocle," maybe that's what a "Liuli glass" is called here.

Worst case scenario, it's just another kind of sex toy... ]


I'll try asking for a "monocle," then. Thanks!

[ He's not the type to touch people, especially ones he doesn't know, but somehow his hand comes up on its own, to grip the man's arm in thanks. The moonlacing effect kicks in immediately, sending a frisson through his spine, by way of his fingertips. His prior moonlacing with the man had topped off his health debt, so this time the effect is pure, undiluted, pleasure. He can't help shuddering. ]

[ Juno's hand naturally lets go of Konoka's once they stopped walking, using them to run her fingers on these new stange fabrics that are not yet a reality in her world. Juno looks at Konoka upon hearing that question, then looking down at her own clothes with her hands touching her waists ]

Hmmm... I don't know, actually. I just left the measuring to my superiors back home.

[ She sticks her tongue out and tilts her head apologetically. After a moment, she takes that same window dress that Konoka has been eyeing, holding the garment in both her hands with a bright grin forming on her face ]

Now that we're here, then there is only one way to find out!

Ace has decided that Greed is absolutely good people, and considers him something of a friend already. Maybe Ace is too trusting in his situation, but they're getting along well and he's been fed so nothing can be too bad today.

"I eat a lot, that was just a snack for me. I can really pack it in, so it didn't last at all."

Roger. Let's go.

[ Juno gets behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder like one would in a two-person shooting drill. She watches as the creatures surround the two of them, but is grateful to be spared from a slimy death by his shield.

The entrance to the stoage room was blocked and narrow. Only one person can get through. Juno worries, but she feels like taking a risk. ]


It's blocked! But I think I can make a run for it from here. Can you hold them off while I get my weapon?

[ There are probably a lot of others who could use his help, but Juno didn't want him to leave her and be shieldless. ]

[Welcome back, then! :) ]

Ling might have actually preferred the water that had been there before, if not for that stench: it would have made for a softer landing, and it's not like he's useless enough to drown. Landing on O'rhok is an unexpected impact, but he's at least used enough to fighting and all sorts of action that he recovers pretty much immediately, scrambling to his feet. Only his eyes show traces of shock, a little wider than before.

"You deserve a lot more than that!" he not-quite-shouts, pointing accusingly - but then he has bigger things to worry about than hypotheticals. Where did that armor even come from? Was it some kind of talisman? (Maybe he should try to design one of those?)

He can think about that later; for now, it's time to get serious. Ling draws his sword. He's not rushing to attack, because there's honestly little use for that, with very solid-looking armor standing in his way - but then, it's not like he means to kill O'rhok. Maybe he'll just try for a few solid hits on that helmet, making the guy's ears ring.

When he rushes forward, though, it's any perceived weaknesses in the armor that he's aiming for. He's not too insistent about it, more eager to incite a counter-attack than anything else. There's no fun in ending this quickly, after all: he's looking forward to exchanging some blows (or close enough) before he decides to put an end to it.

[ Juno lets her curiousity aside for now, giggling to herself in amusement from Ayer's reaction. She shakes her head no to his question ]

Mm-mn... I'm not feeling hungry right now. I'm one of the lucky ones who got rescued by the Knights within an hour after I woke up here, and I can go without food for a long time. Such is the militia life!

[ It's true that they are often low on food supplies that they have to make do with so little ]

But now that you mentioned it, I wonder what culinary cultures exist in this planet! Oh, I get excited just thinking about what new things I could cook for the kids back home!

[ She beams with pride like an older sister ]

Though I am feeling thirsty. Is there a place I can get some good ale?

[ She asks, tapping away at her device to look up places that sell alcohol. She does look young, but she is an adult now. Hopefully the local people here can recognize that ]

[It does make sense, sort of. It's still strange to think of Sizhui in a bunny's body, though. Maybe that is where Ling had jumped to conclusions, before, but it's weird to picture Sizhui still being Sizhui in that shape.

It's kind of like a paperman, maybe. Thinking of it like that, it's easier to picture - and for the first time since this conversation started, Ling is getting a little curious to see bunny!Sizhui.

Not nearly enough to mention it, however.]


I guess even a rabbit's diet is like your usual.

[Maybe he's poking fun a bit, but he's also trying to find out more about the changes, in which ways they can affect people and in which ways they don't. a.k.a. please tell him how to take care of his bun!zhui]

[ His hearing clears a little bit more; so too does his vision, and so at this close range, he can see... ]

You're a man!

[ It's a complete non-sequiteur to their conversation, although it probably doesn't sound like one, as if he's objecting to "generating chroma with a man," when really all he's doing is exclaiming on new information. ]

...

Why do you smell so nice?

[ He sounds annoyed, but it's mainly with himself for not figuring it out sooner. He has the nose of a fragrance master, how could he have been fooled like that? ]

I have every reason to be "obsessed" when there's a pervert trying to ogle me!

[Yeah, he's -... He's just going to keep at this until the end of time, or until circumstances stop him. The day Ling admits he's wrong is the day he'll let his uncle break his legs, probably.

His sword goes flying, but sadly there's no useful target, even under the towels. Damn. (There's a certain irony to the fact that Ling might have cut actual sleeves, there, but he's blissfully ignorant of it, and so much the better.)]


I've never missed in my life. [Not true... but shhh.] But unlike you, I keep the other patrons of this place in mind.

Someone may still want to bathe here, later. Your blood would taint the place.

"It's kinda scary to some people. If I'm really starving I'll even eat bones and stuff with the meat." Ace's stomach growls again, as if to push the point further that he's still hungry. He's tempted to ask for more, but he's not sure if he can make enough through Moonlacing to make up the cost.

[Unfortunately for Wen Ning, Ling looks that way at practically everybody. Whatever his feelings on his present company, that's unlikely to change.]

Don't I have as much right to be here as he does?

[... Nobody actually said otherwise, but...

Ling has seen Sizhui back on the moon, and he could say as much, but he has no real reason to. Thinking back to Sizhui, he recalls the people who Sizhui mentioned were here, and those Sizhui didn't mention.

He definitely didn't mention Wen Ning. The question is: was that deliberate?]


Have you been here long?

[ Shi Qingxuan stares back at him with wide eyes, not the least bit expecting...that.

Clearing his throat. ]
Yes? Isn't that what makes this sort of thing less awkward? If I were a woman, people would stare at us like this.

[ And some people here have no sense of shame! Well, enough about that. His awkward new friend is being more awkward than ever. Why is his scent suddenly an issue? Wait—

He pales a little before he carefully asks: ]
Ah, could it be you...only now realized I'm a man...?

[ He might not be the most masculine man out there by any means, but he's never been mistaken for a woman when he's in his male form. My good bro, are your eyes and ears okay!? Shi Qingxuan is fairly sure he neither looks nor sounds like a woman! It wouldn't be a problem if he did, but...this has never happened before! It's completely baffling! ]

[It takes Ling exactly 1.2 seconds to work out what Huaisang is even saying - and at that point he freaks out every bit as much as Huaisang does, if not quite in the same way.]

Don't be a pervert! Who cares what you saw?!

[NO WAIT that makes it sound like Ling is okay with being seen naked?! He's not okay with that! Much! It's fine to bathe together as guys, but that doesn't mean you should look. Actually: who'd even have a reason to look? ]

Greed laughs.

“Compared to my brother, Gluttony, your appetite’s not scary at all,” Greed replies.

So, Greed’s not bothered by Ace’s hunger or the stuff Ace’s willing to eat to sate it.

“And if you Moonlace regularly, you’ll have enough Chroma to buy all the food you want. So don’t worry about it.”

"I dunno, I've never seen him eat."

Another growl makes him decide to give in, and beg for more. He's got his pride, but he's also hungry and in a brand new world and he doesn't want to get in trouble by stealing food right off. He's bounty free, for the moment. And he'd like to keep it that way for a little bit at least.

"Hey, can you spot me another plate? I'm really hungry still. I guess we can just Moonlace more to make up for it, if that's okay? "

'I'm not a mage. Whatever the hell that is."

Ace takes a nice long drink, and then gets himself comfortable for the talk. "So my world has a couple of different ways to kick ass and take names. Or not take 'em, if you don't care about that. So the first thing is just the different fighting styles that you can pick up. There's so many amazing ways to hit someone!" He's warming up so well, and he's slightly pink cheeked from the alcohol. It's a nice moment for Ace. "So the second way is Haki. It's this energy that you can use to do stuff, like make yourself stronger, or know your surroundings better, and there's other ways to use it too but that's not what this is about."

Ace grabs the rest of his fish and finally just eats the entire thing, on the bones, by lowering it into his mouth. Just like that. Gulp. "My favorite powers come from fruit."

No gear set is complete without a main arm, and as Ling shouts back at O'rhok's stupid comment the Warrior reaches up behind him for the weapon in question. His armour is fit for a fighter of his status back home, and his axe is a beauty of gold-dipped steel. It comes easy from its harness and with a limber twist of his shoulders he stomps both heavy armoured feet to ground himself, Chroma flowing like blood to a limb as the double-headed axe head ignites with crackling white flames- a minor change from the gold and red light he's used to back on Hydaelyn.

"Alright! Show me what that sword can do!"

They both know with a sword like that Ling will do better attacking gaps in his armour, of which there are many because he's no good to anyone if he can't move his arms or head in battle. The first strike when Ling rushes in gets stopped cold by the handle of his axe, the warrior deliberately stepping into Ling's space to crowd and turn him, trying to get him on the back foot. O'rhok is taller, heavier, and larger: of course he's going to find an advantage in that! But he's also curious if he'll be able to keep up with his smaller, faster opponent.

A good clean swing aimed under his arm means the warrior has to pull the arm in close and turn, deflecting the sword off the metal down his back instead. He digs in his heel for a fast spin, elbow out and looking to strike at his face. If Ling ducks under that, he'll have a closed metal-encased fist aimed down at his back for a punch- or maybe he'll go a different way instead.

[ he scoffs!! audibly! ]

Even if you intended to, someone at your level has absolutely no chance of drawing my blood. [ that is... unless titus used up too much magic to maintain his shield, which he's done on several occasions, in which case pretty much anyone could draw his blood... but that's completely irrelevant!! ]

My turn. Take this!

[ he climbs to his feet and swings his wand violently; instantly, there's a flash of blinding orange light that resolves into a flurry of sparkles!

when the light fades, titus is clad in some manner of fancy wetsuit... and if ling looks down at himself, he'll see that he, too, is sporting some brand new fashion! (it's enormously oversized, reaching almost to ling's knees. titus saw one like this in a boutique on level 2.)

of course, it will also be immediately obvious that there's no added weight, and nothing's actually touching him. it's just an illusion made of light magic! (if a very convincing one. and impressive, if titus were to say so himself.) ]

[He hadn't even considered how compromising this position was. It was embarrassing to be caught stumbling and falling and he didn't like being touched but it was an accident. There was nothing inherently weird about it.

Even when he started on about how his body was...what? Soft? Nice? Was this person blind or just stupid? Either way, it didn't occur to him what was being meant by those words though there was a furrow in his brow like he's trying to work out what, exactly, the man was even trying to say when he felt the effects of the moonlacing. His eyes go wide and the tips of his ears turn pink.

It feels good, in a way he's entirely not prepared for, in a way that was...actually kind of terrifying?

So his first instinct was to try to shove the other person away, but that's rather thwarted by another lurch in the contraption they're travelling in.

The end result is the body above his falling onto him, leaving their bodies pressed from chest to hip and the arms he'd raised earlier had skimmed the other man's shoulders and like this it's almost like Chu Wanning was about to embrace him.

His body is trembling and his entire face goes red for a moment before his embarrassment gives way to anger. The he tries to flip them over. Rather violently.]


You--! What is the meaning of this!?

[What is he referring to? He's not even sure himself. Also, even if he flips them over he's still sitting on him and that......isn't really much better.]
