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.

[ ichiro doesn't quite scowl, but his expression goes disapproving, and he reaches up to pop jiro in the back of the head. it's not super hard, but definitely a reminder--be nice to your brother. ] Don't say that. We're the strongest together, all three of us, you know that.

[ looking past jiro, ichiro scans what he can see of the transport vessel. it's not like saburo's tiny... ] We need to find him, especially if we're being attacked. If something happened-- [ god. he can't even think about it. the idea sends his stomach lurching from something that has nothing to do with the currently rattling transport ship, and ichiro shakes his head. ]

...well, I just want you both with me. C'mon, let's go. [ after all, they're both armed! time to go hunt for saburo!! ]

[ Blinking her surprise, Nemu turns to properly look at the boy standing next to her. Hand raised to touch the side of her chin with just her fingertips, she's the picture perfect example of confused but cute, although there's a sort of wary edge behind her eyes. Friendly, polite, but careful, she offers him a bit of a bemused smile. ]

I'm sorry? [ She's two years younger than him, now. ] Have we met before? You do look familiar...

That still means you'll be safe here, doesn't it? If we're providing benefits, that means we get protection. I don't think that's all bad.

[ He doesn't believe a word of it though. Using people is his game, and he's incredibly suspicious over the true motives of Chroma and its use. The Prismals don't concern him, but having some alien species use your life force for their own benefit doesn't really sit well with him. Even if he does appreciate the accolades for merely existing. ]

[Jack is glad that she plays along so quickly. Although he doesn't quite expect her to throw an arm around him, and he likely felt cold to her despite the warmth around them. Still, he keeps close, barefeet padding easily over the ground as he nodded.]

Well yeah, we're on some alien planet! Of course I gotta look around!

[It's only the truth, but the rabbit man doesn't follow them as they keep going. His voice lowers as well.]

No prob, thought you could use a hand.

[When it seemed like they were far enough away and he doesn't hear or see any sort of rabbit-like person, he relaxes and casually swings his staff to rest on his shoulder.]

Geez. This place is something, isn't it? I'm Jack, by the way.

[ what the hell?

ichiro's brows furrow. it's true, he hasn't seen nemu properly since the dirty dawg days as far as i know, but he hasn't changed that much, has he? his eyes shift upwards, as if he could see his hairline, now fluffier and rounder compared to back then. and his clothes are different, and sure, he's gotten taller, but.... ]


What? Nemu-chan, seriously, it's me... it's Ichiro. [ ??????? ]
middlebro: (Default)

[personal profile] middlebro 2019-09-08 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, alright, we are, but I don't think he's here. I asked a bunch of people of they saw him and nobody did.

[He goes along willingly, though, the speakers faded from behind him but his mic still gripped tightly enough to pale his knuckles. He's looking from side to side as they go, not really bothering to help other people as much as just to scan for Saburo. It'd make him feel better to know if he was there or not, and Ichiro probably doubly so.]

[Technology is not a word he's familiar with... but he knows enough Hellene to guess at its meaning alongside the context that Margulis is giving him.]

I'm afraid that artificery is not so sophisticated where I come from.

[Even the mechanisms inside the temples of Shemhazai pale against the wonders he's seen here and the wonders Margulis is describing.]

[ Sets stops what she deems a popularly acceptable as likely safe number of feet from the spirit so as not to startle him into action. That tight grip on his staff isn't missed, but neither is that raised hand in greeting. This she can work with. That question sees her spare their surroundings her umpteenth glance and offer a shake of her head, though. ]

I'm not even actually sure where 'here' is. It isn't Earth's moon. [ A beat. ] What about you?
frostedoverland: (❄️ 14)

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2019-09-08 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Because you generally don't believe in things like me anymore. Although...

[Judging by the guy's garb, he wondered if he even would know people like Santa Claus existed yet. He was only 300 and some odd years old, he didn't quite learn all the history yet.]

I probably didn't even exist yet, which makes this normally even more impossible. Do the names Santa Claus, or Old Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, ring a bell?

[North had more names than that but they'd be there all day if Jack started trying to remember them all.]

[To say Bruce is surprised is an understatement, but it's in no way a complaint. The two of them have a talent for dancing around each other, becoming more emotionally intimate than physical for the obvious reasons, but it's not lack of want for physical contact on his part. So when she throws herself at him, he's already moving to make way for her, his arms moving around her waist, his chin dropping on top of her head at his shoulder. He holds her tightly back, closing his eyes for a moment, simply letting this happen in a bubble where nothing outside of it matters.

This may have been closer to the type of reunion he dreamed of when he first came back to Earth, but there was too much. Too much time, too much danger with Thanos, too much grief after the snap. There's always been reasons for them not to take a beat. But more than all the complex emotions between them, Natasha's been close to his heart as his friend. He trusts her. He understands her. And that's why despite really enjoying the hug and the Chroma coming from it, he's deeply concerned.

Something is wrong. He knows that bone deep. While he's not as adept at reading people as she is, he's observant of those closest to him, and Natasha's behavior is different. Add that to her visual appearance and he knows something's up. Bruce has no intention of letting go of her though, a hand soothingly running up and down her back the way they all learned to do for him at times.]


Nat. [He murmurs into her hair.] What's wrong?
frostedoverland: (❄️ 64)

yeah ok

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2019-09-08 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that already let him know she belonged to Earth. But she wasn't one of Manny's. That's for sure. He relaxed his grip on the staff for now, resting it on his shoulder.]

Yeah, this definitely isn't Earth's. For one thing, the Man in the Moon sin't here. And I might have been outta school for 300 years [Or ever, really] but I'm pretty sure crystals didn't form on it.

I'm Jack Frost.

[Imri had been about to comment on what Joscelin would have had to endure to reach them... but then Phedre confirms what part of him, he thinks, must have already known. She is younger.]

No. I'm a good six or seven years past that, 'tis true.

[True and strange. How can people be drawn here from wildly different times as well as wildly different worlds?]

Do you... wish to know what happened since I was twelve?
frostedoverland: (❄️ 28)

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2019-09-08 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oops.

Jack is quick to reach out and take a hold of the guy's arm to help him back up.]


Sorry 'bout that, buddy. These things make it hard to aim sometimes.

[Ice energy whips out of the staff casually to hit another jellyfish, freezing and shattering it once it hit the ground.]

[ Ichiro?

She watches him, taking him in and trying to pinpoint where the familiarity comes from. He is handsome boy hot! and there's some kind of charm in how he tries to look at his own hairline, making Nemu smile a bit more. But when he looks down at her again, it seems to register - those eyes of his. Saburo, Jiro, and...
]

Oh! Are you maybe Jiro-kun and Saburo-kun's brother? [ Hand raising higher on her own face, she taps a spot below her eye - the same spot as his mole, mirrored on herself. ]

[ it's okay brosuke, she won't comment on your hair. she might want to touch it at some point though, hamburger steak hair... but really, it's all of it together. a throwback to a style she never thought she'd see in-person. ]

Nah, yeah I ended up getting pretty dosed when I got here because I was fighting them too much, and then volunteered for some simulation thing that went crazy--but from the sounds of it that wasn't the norm for everyone. I guess you just got lucky in this round.

[ and by lucky she means that totally sucks, sorry dude, her condolences ]

Jellyfish huh? Wow, they didn't sting you at all? That's usually like the biggest thing to worry about when it comes to those guys, other than that they could be kind of neat--like did you know that their entire body is their mouth? Or that you can use jellyfish powder to make salted caramel?

[ jolyne, this isn't the time for marine biology. for now though she offers a glimmer of hope ]

At least you're on land now, nice and safe from jellyfish antics--but hey, you must be pretty hungry right? I know I was starving when I first arrived... but then again I guess I hadn't really eaten much of anything before being brought here to begin with.
belladonnasson: (questioning)

[personal profile] belladonnasson 2019-09-08 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm sorry. None of those names are familiar to me. Well, Nicolas as a name is familiar, but not as any specific person's name.

[How does one have a Santa when Christmas doesn't exist... well, at least not under that name, anyway. There could possibly a Yeshuite winter holiday, but it was almost certainly not going to be very Christmas-like.]
moonlitknight: (Blood and Frowns)

Don't aim at the ground.

frostedoverland: (❄️ 2)

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2019-09-08 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Then that just makes this even more bizarre.

Well, I'm Jack Frost and I'm a winter spirit. And normally I need people to believe I exist to see me.

Ah, more of us is here than I thought—Wait, she's here? Which Medea?

[And it seems like Jason believe the lie... for now. Both Medeas give him complicated and somewhat regretful feelings, but this isn't the time and place to reflect on their relationship!

At least the older Medea would leave him alone. The younger one... might be more troublesome.

It just means that we have an expiration date. And I'm...really tired of that.

[some powerful emotion spasms across Lapis' face as she makes this confession, all the more noticeable for how aggressively it contrasts with her previous apathy. you're only useful if you can provide something to those in power. you're replaceable no matter how hard you work. you're just information, nothing more.

it's a little shameful how hard she has to struggle to keep from lashing out.]
frostedoverland: (❄️ 36)

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2019-09-08 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, I didn't. [He's pretty good at not doing that but he does notice that with the adrenaline rush his feet are letting the fern-like frost bleeding out of him and onto the ground. He's not normally this bad at containing himself.

He opened his mouth to apologize again when a jellyfish suddenly clung to his face.]


Ack-! Seriously? Get off!

[What was with these things?! He scrambled to pull it off his face.]
shiliu: (hmm)

[personal profile] shiliu 2019-09-08 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He glances up, startled at the blinding flash of light. But he doesn't have any time to question it, as there are more fires to put out and prismatic jellyfish to be dispatched. After a while, it's over—as far as the fires and free-floating fish are concerned, that is.

At the gentleman's remark, he chuckles. ]


You've got a bit... right there—

[ He lifts a hand to point to a blob of shimmering, evil-smelling goop stuck to one of the man's long locks, when all of a sudden the other concern manifests itself, to wit: the ship lands with an almighty thud. It's enough to make him lose his footing and crash right towards the angel's chest.

Sorry? ]

[ It's a yawn she's capping as she passes through the threshold of the door and steps onto the roof and just in time if the myriad of colors blazing across the horizon is any indication. Sleep's been largely elusive. She's mostly surviving on largely uncomfortable naps for reasons she hasn't quite been able to place, but she feels a little better when the sun sets. Steadier, a teensy-weensy bit more like hers -- herself.

Setsura barely pauses in stepping for the realization of movement out of the corner of her eye. Is that...? It is. It's a wholly human-sized wolf-man with a rather regal look about him with all that plush looking white fur. Now if only his hackles didn't appear to be slightly raised. She minds that far more than she does the general wolf bit given her history with canids, but she's not going to give up the most immediately accessible high perch so easily. ]


Didn't realize anyone was up here. Are you alright?

[ brow still furrowed, ichiro nods, a little slowly, but she is right. this is...bizarre. hypnosis mics can be used for all kinds of things; did someone attack her? ] Yeah--yeah, those are my little bros. You know them?

[ shouldn't she know him the best, nowadays? after all, he was a constant fixture in the aohitsugi household, constantly hanging around samatoki; nemu's one of the few things from that time he still likes to remember, positively. he still looks confused, concerned, almost a little like a kicked puppy. ] Nemu-chan, did someone hurt you...?

[ what kind of a shit older brother is samatoki that he wouldn't protect his sister like that? ]
