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.

Yeah, they are. Not that most people eat them. They like them in garden ponds.

You're hungry for fish you can eat? I don't know many names, but there's some good fish restaurants in different parts of the city. They catch stuff fresh and fry it up on Level 2, I know tha tfor sure.

[ Just repress it like he does. It's fine!! ]

...Stick with me and I can help you. I have a way of making things happen.

[ Well. It's not an outright lie, but it is misleading. 'Making things happen' tended to include coercion and brainwashing, which he couldn't even do here if he wanted to. Not with his cursed ancient artifact missing in action. However, this is more of an exercise in gauging the situation, and to see if Lapis is someone to keep tabs on for future reference. ]

[ She inclines her head in answer. ]

Not just 'looks'. It's you, your brains, your personality, but still his brawn. And probably other aspects as well. A true fusion, from what you've explained. It took you a while, but you succeeded at it. You seemed... [ She pauses, searching for the right word she wants here, before going with the first one she'd picked anyway. ] You were happy with it. With yourself. It was the first time I'd ever gotten to see you quite like that.

It's not gonna be fun for you when I kick your ass.

[ She reaches over to hit him in the arm. It's a normal playful hit though. She knows he's just trying to get under her skin right now at least. ]

I'm locking myself in my apartment next time anyway.

[ There's no such saying! Fuck off, Mercury!!! ]

You were the rude one who started banging on the door! [ The ice queen thing, she'll ignore. It's not like she can say anything about it?! She used to be pretty cold. ] Go away!

[ She definitely doesn't sound calm right now. She's literally trapped and is weaponless. The only good thing so far is that Mercury hasn't punched his way through the door. Maybe he'll leave her alone because she told him to go away. ]

[[For a long moment he's actually taking some of this into consideration. Just because someone says "earth" doesn't mean it has to be his earth. Not any iteration of it actually. It still doesn't sit right with him, he's not an idiot, but he's also met moth people here and people who say they have control of Hades so. There's a variety of things that don't line up with home.

Taking his hand out from its comfy spot on the edge of the boat like he's not actually perturbed by actual sea lions, he shrugs a shoulder. See. Dave doesn't really need to be on any of these crafts, he's fast, his time jumping might not work the same way but he's still got it and really the only thing keeping him here is the issues he's encountered today himself. Someone actually might need help and the power of flight might just give that leg up.

Further.
Science seems valid. That seems like the most valid of the two.]]


Think you oughta invent a water repellent face mask if your face starts melting, man. I can't even offer to just scoop some of this water out and wash whatever it is off because I'm pretty sure our hungry friends out there almost melted your face off with it. Cool science leg or not.

[[Looking around the boat, he stands up again and surprisingly doesn't upset the boat doing it. He really does seem to be trying to figure out what he can do without just flying out of there. He got warned not to flaunt his abilities and he's taking it to heart in some ways. If worse comes to worse, he sure will, but not until it's dire.]]

Okay. Normally this shit has at least something on it we can move it with, do you see oars? Then we'll at least get you out of the immediate chance your fuckin' body melts if you fall in. I'm not going to live with the trauma you turning into a god damn mess of flesh and sizzle. I already saw Poltergeist and that shit was enough.

[[He doesn't care who does or doesn't get his references. He talks to make himself feel better, not anyone else.]]

There’s more than one fish species here.

Though if you’re wondering what the most common one is, I think it’s koi. There are plenty of them in the ponds in Caihong.

Why are you so curious about fish species, anyway?

[Now, it doesn’t escape him that in inspecting the jacket so closely, the stranger must pick up on the apparent symbolism of the scepter. But his demeanor is friendly, not obsequious, for which Nikolai can be grateful. Moreover, there is little to gain from currying favor with a king severed from his power.

As the stranger disrobes, Nikolai politely averts his eyes, and takes the opportunity to finish scrubbing at his chest.]


I do a great many things, and fortunately I’ve gotten quite good at all of them.

[With the exception, perhaps, of nailing down a woman to take for his queen. And managing the monster within him that claws out of hibernation at night.]

You mustn’t sell yourself short, though. Not every man can afford a tailor as skilled as you seem to have found.

[He says this to be polite, of course, but another thing he is good at is sounding genuine whenever it serves him.]

[ It's a miracle that he even got this far in normal society before having an absolute meltdown. ]

There's no monetary value to anything here! It's all based off of arbitrary feelings!

[ Or rather, he refused to listen when he was getting the lowdown at the government center. It was too much to take in, to find himself in such a technologically advanced society when he was in the desert reading hieroglyphs just a few years ago. The learning curve is steep and quite frankly, he isn't willing to put in the effort. ]

Someone polite, with dark scales like his own? Surprising and in a good way! Not afraid to look him straight in the eye either, which is... good. Confident, and seemingly willing to trust him. The color of the sweater definitely works for her, too! All in all, not a bad stranger to run into, though he wishes he was wearing something a little less.

"Sure." He hums in thought, bending slightly so he could get a better look at the hoods and latches attached. "Can't be easy putting something on like this by yourself, huh..."

Whether he could do it to himself, if he were in her position, Sonsoh's not sure. Still, he does his best to get his fingers on them without touching her directly.

"You're of the Steppe as well, aren't you?" Though dour before, his mood has lightened up considerably, enough so that his tone is smooth and words almost lyrical, in a way.

oh uh. it's sort of the southern part of the us?

north america? its kind of.... in the bottom middle part of that.
sort of. sorry this isn't really going anywhere

so your church is definitely different from the church i grew up with, huh.
which i mean. is probably good? or maybe not. who knows
our church kind of sucked but it's not like i ever have to go back haha

[ For that one moment, when she's sinking into the water and he's on solid ground, he has the upper hand. It's a minor thing, but it matters to him that she lowers her defenses first. When you grow up like he did you see the potential for a fight in every encounter, and this one is no exception. The fact that she set her weapons aside meant little - the fact that she was completely relaxing right in front of him, on the other hand, felt a little more reassuring.

So he follows suit, stepping right into the spring (he doesn't have toes to dip into the water, so there's no point in that gesture) and lowering himself similarly on the side opposite her. For how tense he had been the heat was immediately gratifying, and he can practically feel his own annoyance and frustration melt away into the water around him. A long sigh escapes him as if to say "finally", and he offers a grunt of acknowledgment to her statement. ]


Don't worry, I'll pick up the slack and badmouth everything twice as much for you. What can I say, I'm a giver.

[She really is about to open her mouth and speak - it's fine, really, if he wants to come into the water, she supposes, even if she wasn't really expecting or, for once, hoping someone to come along. However, she's interrupted, halfway into the thought of a response, and that quiets her for a moment, before...]

You're going to die in seven days? [That's a lot more a question than what he phrased it as. Also, without the weird vocal distortion from back home, no, she doesn't sound like a creepy little girl.] I'm not sure I get to decide that for you, though.

[The point


Ouse

[ He accepts the hit (feigns pain anyway, as is his way when dealing with her), but his expression turns a little more serious after a second. ]

So this place screws with our brains too, is the long and short of it.

[She’s.. kind of trying. Which apparently entails attempting to get an arms dealing business operation off the ground, but that’s mostly legit? Maybe?]

No, I couldn’t find anything in the libraries. No Skrull, no Brood, nothing. It’s bizarre. And the people here are all from different worlds. Some from the same worlds but alternate timelines. Others from the same country but entirely different years. It doesn’t make any sense.

[Raven decides against bringing up the fact that the whole economy seems to be based on physical contact.]

What’s the last thing you remember before you woke up here?

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2019-09-09 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Natasha often sees the potential of a fight regardless, and just because she's relaxing in a hot spring with a stranger across from her hardly means she's not ready for a fight, should the need arise. But then again, it's often when people think her defenses are down that she can be at her most dangerous, because that's when they start underestimating her.

For right now, though? She's not looking to start anything and as she doesn't know this kid from Adam, she's only treating him as a typical stranger right now unless he decides to make things interesting.

One eye peeks open slightly as he settles in across from her, giving a long sigh as he sinks into the water. ]


So it's a hobby of yours, huh? Good to know. I was beginning to wonder if I was just special.

[gestures?? at Malachite????

speaking of Malachite, she's foremost in Lapis' mind as she stares up at Malik when he makes that offer, her gaze painfully sharp - an interesting contrasted to the dull disinterest it usually bears. he's certainly struck onto something interesting by attempting to plumb these depths, although how far he'll have to dig to fully understand it remains to be seen.]


...I'm not going to fuse with you.

[if she even could. he was human, but this place was strange. it seems like a wise thing to make clear from the beginning.]

He may or may not be directly next to her. He may be close by. Either way, he pauses at his door and gives himself a playful lookover. ]

Sure I didn’t.

Come on, let’s find somewhere to sit before they round us up.

[ Somewhere private where they can talk. ]

...

Also, "punched" through the door?? Who do you think you're talking to here?????? ]


Last I checked, I don't take orders from you. Think I'll stay!

[Bruce is torn over this information. He can see how not being at war with the Hulk would be life-changing and incredible. It's not as if this body of his is more important than inner peace. He doesn't use it as it is, and he is 'puny Banner.' And all the good he could do with that power is incredible. He is struggling though with his current feelings and it shows.]

I'm mixed on it. I can see the value, for sure, but I wonder about the Hulk himself. I was stuck in him for years, and in that time he ... became his own person. He made his friends, he was happy. If it's me in charge and using his body it might be the end of him. [It's strange how he's come around on his monster, but his logical mind can't help but understand the importance of self.]

But if you say I'm happy, I must be. [But without her. That he's not near at all.]

Cold or not, it's better than being left covered in the gross remains of what the fight with the weird sea creatures that flew near the crash site. Shino's flushed from the temperature as it is, body reacting to the cold in a way that annoys him and will turn into paleness if he stops moving around, which he doesn't plan on doing.

That said, hearing someone he doesn't know mention soap, his first instinct is to breathe out in a grateful way. "Trying to scrub all this off with just a towel or our hands would have been annoying..."

Using sand wouldn't occur to him for a while, considering it just generally wasn't anything he'd had to do.

"Feels rude to be using soap in the spring itself, though." Sudsing up outside the water seems like it's more polite, and Shino contemplates the containers of shampoo and soap he's been given, then reaches for a wooden bucket set near the spring's edge.

You're fussing.

Think they've got any food around here?
