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.

Mmm... it might be fairly easy if you find someone you want to generate with on a regular basis. Because it could be something as simple as holding hands, but the more intimate the contact the more chroma you generate...

[ it's at this point that benio fusses with the device on their wrist, showing the screen to ramuda ]

See? This right here, if you watch it while doing something you could see the numbers rise...

[ there's a moment of thought, offering a hand to the other ]

Beni can show you right now if you'd like~
lollipopdrops: (pic#13454589)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-22 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
So they really want us to bang for the most buck, in a way~?

[He says it with a cheerful tone, eyes then looking at the device.]

Sure, I want to see it rise. It all still seems a little fishy.

[Ramuda taps his finger before he takes that hand, watching the device to see if it increases.]
lovejunkie: (Got you wrapped around my finger)

[personal profile] lovejunkie 2019-09-22 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly seems that way...

[ that much is something benio doesn't focus on for the moment, watching as the stats rise with the littlest bump before the blond begins to move to intertwine fingers and make the hold that much more intimate ]

... The more involved the more you gain, and somehow, it feels more intensely than how it usually feels right?
zunge: (for I toss and turn)

...Dreads.

[He mutters that, preferring to give the older man a nickname instead of using his name. Noiz doesn't particularly like him, and he sure as hell wouldn't trust him but he'd take a day with the guy over Koujaku any day. Mink is a no-nonsense, business-first person. Just an annoying one who called him Maniac. He shoots Aoba a sullen stare, his fingers curling into Aoba's shirt before abruptly shoving him back. He sulks petulantly.]

If he did get inside on his own, he never showed himself.

It was just you and me after everyone split up.

[There was a small rush of warmth...so that was what they meant when they said it felt better with other moonblessed. As he watches the numbers grow he's already trying to figure out how much is needed to get a nicer place.]

It does feel nicer than just holding hands back home. That's a little added bonus for us then.

[Smart. They were wise enough to make sure it felt better as another small initiative to do this.]

[ seems like a weird time to tsun but ok...
it's true, though. titus definitely figures a suave guy like yan qing is racking up snuggles and smooches (and maybe even caresses on the peonies) left, right, and center.

also, he's never washed anyone else's back before. he's read about it in books, though, so he's pretty sure he can do an amazing job!!!!

when he speaks, his tone is fully conversational. ]


It really is strange, the way our worlds are clearly connected, and yet not... the characters they use in the Kou empire look just like this. What does this one mean?

[personal profile] resenting 2019-09-22 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
No, I wouldn't expect something as convenient as a detailed explanation. Rather, if you've come and gone, that tells me this world is actually pretty flexible.

[At least it seems somewhat more promising than the last- though he thought that at first before, too.]

You've given me some valuable information; I don't like feeling indebted to anyone. The potion is yours, if you change your mind.

[personal profile] resenting 2019-09-22 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Another magic user, then? That should make this easier-

[In that case, it'll be his turn now. He raises his hand, and one might notice a faint glow surrounding him, particularly his shield]

Fast Guard!!

[He starts with a simple defense-up spell on those nearest, but he's got a little better than that up his sleeve]

Shield Prison!!

[In the last moments before impact, He and several other nearby passengers are surrounded by a litteral shell composed of magic shields. It's held through some pretty heavy situations, a crash landing should be no different.]

[ the warmth that just incited more of that need for touch, fingers playing over the other's skin playfully ]

It does, giving it that much incentive seems to benefit not only us but them as well.

[ still though, benio hadn't quite pulled away yet, instead allowing ramuda to make that distance when he was good and ready ]

Of course since this is just hand-holding it only gives you so much... I think maybe it's like a tier system? Like hand holding, to hugging, kissing, gropping... making out and of course... well, onii-chan already has a good idea of the end result.
resenting: (13)

[personal profile] resenting 2019-09-22 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
You'll just have to promise it won't end the same way as the first time we shared a bed.

[Is he bringing up the most humiliating memory possible on purpose, or is he just that obtuse? The world may never know.]
lollipopdrops: (pic#13454587)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Ramuda traces circles on Benio's hands, it felt good for sure.]

I see...

[Not letting go yet just a tad curious on how much it will rise.]

So each act is a little higher? Pff... [He laughs a little at the idea. It's like a sex house that has paying tiers for levels of affection.]
lovejunkie: (00011)

[personal profile] lovejunkie 2019-09-22 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ even such a simple act seemed a lot more than it should've been making the blond look down at their hands a fluster began to rise and then smiled back to the other ]

Ah, yes... from the looks of it.

Beni had been a little too distracted the one time to notice something like that though, it was only the next day when I had to get something did I notice my count was a lot higher than it had been before.

[Listen.

He's stupid.

And chaste kisses aren't really a thing most of his encounters go for... In any case, if Titus is going to act like that didn't just happen, Yan Qing will do the same. Acting is his forte! Just give him a script. Thankfully, playing dumb doesn't need one.]


Oh, I think you mentioned Kou before. [And if he didn't, we can just totally retcon that.] Hmm, I don't think you can explain in one word... My master said it means 'doing what's right no matter the consequences'.
lollipopdrops: (pic#13454581)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-22 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[If the blond wants him to let go he can, but he didn't see the harm in hand holding.]

This place seems to be full of surprises though. Maybe it won't be that boring after all?

[He jokes with him.]

So it was a surprise? Well if I wasn't told I might have been too.

[ ... He could help, if he wanted? V'seji squints because his mind quickly goes to also licking Konoe's tail since that's the choice of topic, but that's not possible. He's not gifted with a sandpaper tongue means to comb out stray hair. He would put a lot of things in his mouth, but a bunch of fur for a long period of time? Unsure. Cupping his chin, he assesses how he can help. Konoe seems to really cherish hygiene (as everyone should), so he can spare some aid his way.

In a couple of strides, he's already beside him and appraising his tail. The portion Konoe is working on looks fine, so he focuses on the rest.
]

If you dislike it, then tell me.

[ Nothing like licking. V'seji gently combs through some of Konoe's tail with his fingertips as taught in his tribe. It isn't like cat mouf, but it gets the job done? Overall, he's gentle and treats Konoe with care... ]

This would be easier with water.

[ Just. Saying.

Also, V'seji's tail is pristine. Thanks.

[ come now ramuda, benio didn't even insinuate so much. in fact there was just the playful press of nails into skin before smiling at the other ]

It's just what you make of it onii-chan, Beni is sure that you're charming enough that you can make as much chroma as you'd want and still have fun~

Wait, what do you mean "flipped"? And what baby?

[personal profile] argonaught 2019-09-22 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! I would have to look around and see what are the local specialties myself!

A sword is certainly not the best match for an axe, but it's no worse than one, either. Whoever has the advantage in theory, it's not like Ling can use his bow and arrows - that's one thing the armor keeps him safe from! - so he has no choice but to come out on top. He doesn't lose; he refuses to lose. (... He still loses, often enough: he's good, especially for his age, but he still has a long way to go, and he's been up against some impressive enemies. But those are only excuses. He remembers every time he's ever lost, the humiliation as good as a physical scar.)

No doubt Ling will take some blows soon enough, but when that elbow comes at him, he doesn't duck: he jumps, high enough to fly clean over O'rhok, aiming a hit at that helmet before spinning around and landing on the other side, immediately ducking because he's fully expecting a counter-strike. He swings his sword at O'rhok's legs for that reason alone: he doesn't expect (or even intend) to do any real damage, but if he makes the guy jump - and he's just going to assume that's possible, even with such armor, because who in their right mind would wear something like that otherwise? - he can hopefully put off the expected counter-attack long enough to give himself some time to prepare for it.

[personal profile] goldenchilde 2019-09-22 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
[More magic?! Ling barely has time to do anything but keep his sword in front of himself for protection, squeezing his eyes shut against that orange light... Is this going to be the end, he wonders? If he's to die, let him die, but he really doesn't want to die in such a humiliating way.

And he doesn't, thankfully. But he's really not sure that the resulting outfit switch is any better.]


Get this hideous thing off me!!

[For real, that's not even clothing! It's like wearing some kind of pillow, and the colors hurt his eyes!! Maybe it's just an illusion, but that also means it's impossible to take off, which he doesn't appreciate. (What does he appreciate, though?)]

With the right skills identification and money aren't really a problem in most places.

[He says as if he has ever been short on funding in his entire life. Drugs on the other hand, those could become a problem for Ocelot very quickly, since between maintaining drug resistance and repeated pharmaceutically aided self hypnosis, he may as well be a high functioning addict for all the good it'd do him without his usual supplies.]

There's a lot you can do with just one gun, even if I prefer two. [And got to keep them both when he arrived.]

Little more worried about some of my medications. Limb transplants are a pain in the ass without having them go gangrenous because you cut the anti-rejection regime.

[That's an absolute lie, even if his nanomachines weren't calibrated to keep an eye on it, the Prismals had reassured him about that sort of medical stuff entirely unprompted. Potentially a future problem if there's more dimensional hopping, but right now it was the illegal medications that'd be the problem. Such was the process of building camaraderie among human beings who didn't have their morals and empathy amputated. While he's at it, may as well roll his right sleeve down just enough to show the thick scar running around his right forearm.]

[The touch feels as good to Ling as it does to Xingchen. So it's true what Sizhui told him... Ling just hadn't expected to run out of that "Chroma" so quickly. (That's what he gets for having no option between "zero" and "going all out"!) It's not a fun thing to realize, but there's no point in denying an obvious truth, either. Besides, there's just no time for denial.

He closes his hand around Xingchen's wrist without warning - he just doesn't think to, when talking about it would make it even more embarrassing than it is already. He is, at least, very gentle about it... for him.]


... We need to keep in touch. I'll explain later.

[If they just hold hands - or wrists, rather - they still have a decent range of motion, as well as having one hand free to manipulate their swords. It's probably the best option they have to keep the Chroma flowing so they can keep fighting properly.]

Well, you're terribly polite, all things considered. Not that I mind, of course. [Picking fights when you're alone in a strange new world was not exactly ideal.] I was keeping an eye out for stragglers.

[That's not all, but it's not untrue, either. More than just stragglers, there was a particular person of interest, too.]
