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.

It was just a suggestion...you look a little hot and bothered.

[Raising his hands in a playful stance he leans away from Aoba for the moment.

Moonlacing was encouraged here and Ritsu wasn't too bothered by it all at this point...it was just how it works.]

[He's welcome to take it as one if he likes. Sidon is a generally calm yet commanding presence, more apt to try to smooth over a situation than to try to escalate it in any way. Even if he clearly didn't do anything wrong in assisting here.

As it stands, Sidon doesn't really relax himself until Valmont puts the cane back together, his shoulders lowering as his posture eases somewhat.]


I am afraid I do not have a clear answer to that. As it is we seem to be making an emergency landing...we will be able to exit the vessel then and they will cease to be an issue.

[personal profile] beliefsystem 2019-09-24 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh certainly! It seems that I will be in this place for quite some time, so I doubt I'll be too preoccupied.

[You know, being coerced into buying a bunch of clothes he doesn't need and won't wear notwithstanding.]
beliefsystem: (11)

[personal profile] beliefsystem 2019-09-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
It is a pleasure, Miss Setsura.

[Sidon does the same in kind, seeing the gesture as polite.]

I am Sidon, Prince of the Zora.

[personal profile] beliefsystem 2019-09-24 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
That is...something of a relief, at least.

[He chuckles though, ever optimistic.]


I cannot say I will know exactly how to handle myself if I were to acquire more mammal-like features, though I am sure I will adjust!
huaisang: (you can run for the skyline)

[personal profile] huaisang 2019-09-24 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ thankfully, the chinchilla is perfectly fine — it looks up at jin ling with dark eyes and twitches its nose before scampering off into the same bush nie huaisang fell behind.

don't hurt me! and that is clearly nie huaisang's panicked voice as he comes out from the bushes, his hair full of twigs and leaves, towel still preserving his modesty (as well as jin ling's innocence) and he is trying to get away from both bush and chinchilla - heading in jin ling's direction. ]

Hmm, so we might not know until the triple moon then?

[It would be interesting to find out. Now was Benio flirting? That charming.

Leaning in he takes the strawberry.]


Rapping and designing are the best. Otherwise social media is pretty fun~
lovejunkie: (00077b)

[personal profile] lovejunkie 2019-09-24 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ just being a hospitable host ramuda, maybe some light flirting. ]

Hmm... Seems like onii-chan will fit right in~

Not to mention, there seems to be a large number of idols here as well. Though I don't think a whole lot of them are rappers.
lollipopdrops: (pic#13454580)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-24 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Just a little.]

Idols? It's a good question of how they might be with rappers or if they can rap~?
lovejunkie: (The primadonna life)

[personal profile] lovejunkie 2019-09-24 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe that's something for Onii-chan to find out personally~

Beni has only been able to meet two of them, both very charming in different ways with such great voices.
lollipopdrops: (pic#13455432)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-24 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Guess we can see. It would be interesting to meet some idols.

Oh? Do they have names?
lovejunkie: (You say that I'm kinda difficult)

[personal profile] lovejunkie 2019-09-24 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, onii-chan is certainly a very curious person~

Let's see, the first one was Ryuunosuk Tsunashi. Fom what he said he was part of a three person group called TRIGGER and seemed very dedicated in the idea of continuing his performances here as well~

The other was Eichi Tenshouin... I believe I'd met him just after a performance, he certainly had a very...

[ the blond couldn't help but fluster some ]

He was very charming, very kind and warm... even while being a fox spirit at the time~
lollipopdrops: (pic#13455433)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. You can't go through life without asking questions! It would be suuuuper boring!

[TRIGGER? He's sure Samatoki loves that.]

Very~?

[That blush.]

So he was one of the foxes you mentioned?

[personal profile] blindforlove 2019-09-24 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a story far different from any that Xingchen has ever heard about the man. If it was anything like those, he'd be hearing about how the Yiling Patriarch captured these junior cultivators and made them into his stew. There's also no reason to doubt it, with how the speaker also sounds so earnest as he speaks about his experience.

Could it be possible?]


If that's true, it's hard to find any other reason for why he'd do such a thing, other than to protect you. Perhaps he truly has changed, then...

[But everything always looked to be in black and white, during his brief time in the cultivation world.]

Perhaps I'm too familiar with those who are evil without qualms, who feel no reason to change.

[He probably would have felt like he was in a parallel dimension if his uncle hadn't told him off. Besides, Jiang Cheng's bite is worse than his bite. He never had the intention of doing anything to harm Ling, his only family member]

I am. Is that so strange? We were friends when we were younger. And it is normal to want to be around someone who understands where you come from.

[Though he won't say it so blatantly, that is more than just the same world. Their first time had made them both understand they actually were more similar than either of them thought]
blindforlove: (Default)

Apparently eye horror will just be a running theme here

[personal profile] blindforlove 2019-09-24 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[The movement takes Xingchen by surprise, but it also amuses him, if just a bit. The young man is clearly the smaller one of them both! He doesn't push against it, having some confidence that he knows what to do here.

Shuanghua still hits around the sea lion's face from the front to make it hesitate if even just for a bit, before it finds another, smaller weak spot, if not enough to stop it--

One eye's lid closes shut tight as blood oozes out.]

[personal profile] blindforlove 2019-09-24 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
... I suppose, since he brought you back from death, it's natural that you'd believe that of him. And violence isn't your only inclination, which it would be if either you or the one who summoned your soul were only seeking power.

[Being thrust into a new world is one thing, but the idea of demonic cultivators who are decent people? Now that's another thing that's hard to believe. But all the evidence he has so far points to the man telling the truth.]

Do you act independently of him? He's not here giving you orders?

lovejunkie: (I wanna be adored)

[personal profile] lovejunkie 2019-09-24 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
A-ah... yes! He said that normally he's an Iris too, so that's how Beni knows things were a little different than usual.

[ try to act normal, that blush certainly was lingering though ]

It shouldn't be too difficult to get to talk to him, he certainly seemed friendly enough~ Perhaps he has a lot more information on the idol scene here.
blindforlove: Xiao Xingchen, side profile. (06)

[personal profile] blindforlove 2019-09-24 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... yes. Some things are more difficult here, while others are easier. It balances itself out, somehow.

[He wants to pursue the question, but the thought of forcing a conversation back in the direction he wants it to go would feel rude. Something like that would just bother the other man-- maybe he's not too close to the people he lives with here anyway.

Which shouldn't feel like a relief.

It's not too far until the voice announces that they've arrived at their destination.]


My room is on the fourth floor.

[What an ominous number... but he's been living in a coffin house. These things hardly bother him anymore.]
lollipopdrops: (pic#13454581)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-24 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Then is he a bunny like you said you are? Pyon pyon~!

[Acting like he's bouncing.]

I'll have to try talking to both of them then.
noneforyou: (09)

[personal profile] noneforyou 2019-09-24 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, isn't that convenient? This is the building I chose as well. I'll be able to visit you any time.

[ Visit you, but not let Xiao Xingchen visit him.

This is as close as he'll allow. They can't live together, and he can't let Xiao Xingchen into his own apartment, but like this he can come by whenever he wants to. Even better, he doesn't need to go outside, where someone might take notice of him coming and going.

He's pretty sure it's a large enough building that Xiao Xingchen won't be able to figure out which place within it is his, even if it reaches the point where he's actively looking. ]

[personal profile] straightouttamonkhet 2019-09-24 04:10 am (UTC)(link)

There was a quiet snort. "Not in the five minutes I've been here. But, who knows, there's all sorts of things that could qualify as 'dangers' out in a place like this. Maybe the wind kicks up and turns all this sand into so many little razors. Maybe there's some kind of unnatural predator that only comes out at night. I dunno."

lovejunkie: (Default)

[personal profile] lovejunkie 2019-09-24 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's what he said... though with Iris one could also be a jellyfish or a deer as well~

Ah, but I wonder if Beni really looks as cute as onii-chan makes bunnies sound~
blindforlove: Xiao Xingchen giving a reassuring smile. (02)

[personal profile] blindforlove 2019-09-24 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so?

[That nuance escapes him, since Xiao Xingchen thinks of it as a given.

Well, their old living quarters were small and likely dreary, so maybe it's understandable if he wants a little more space. Or doesn't want to move his stuff over. Besides, he'd rather be the one with the visitor than feel as though he was imposing. It's fine. Really.]


That's wonderful! I... I feel as though my luck has improved now, since I found you again.

[He laughs a little, a bit embarrassed at his own words. It just all comes as a relief that not everything is as troublesome as before.]

But if you visit now, I'm afraid it'll only be me in there. I haven't changed or added anything at all.

[Should he attempt to decorate, just for his friend's sake? It might help...]
lollipopdrops: (pic#13454587)

[personal profile] lollipopdrops 2019-09-24 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Two bunnies sound super duper cute though~!

Hmmm...

[He looks Benio over and then leans back.]

Yep pretty close!
