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.

Oh.

[Well this is not at all what she expected to see. The young woman is still quite cute obviously but it seems that she's quite literally attached to a horse. That's...new. Manuela blinks a few times.]

My, you really are quite...tall.

[She'll settle for that. But she did say she would help so she steps closer to have a better look at her.]

It seems like you favor more conservative clothes, dear.

It take away from having much of a personal life, that's true. Though I do try to find ways of keeping myself busy even when I have free time.

[Another sip of tea and she sets the cup down, sighing gently.]

And what about you? Do you find you have much free time for things?

[What the hell, a cheap haunted house? It was so absurd he couldn't help but chuckle a bit.]

If they're not charging, there's bound to be something wrong with all of them. Might as well check the rest of it out.

[He takes a few steps inside. Looking around, it's full of tacky decorations- lenticular portraits that change to corpses from certain angles, motion triggered sound effects, the works. Altogether, it's pretty terrible.]

On the other hand, you might be right.

I have enough time to write, at least. And sometimes I do get to travel for work.

[He should really be saying all of this in past tense, but Manuela is a very nice person who doesn't need to know that she's talking to a ghost. At least not on her first day in Lunatia?]

But between classes and tutoring, it does take up more of my time than I'd like... Well, I knew that when I chose to become a teacher, so I can't really complain.

[ a familiar crackle echoes through the air. her thighs and calves tense, and with a single motion she pushes off the lion - her weight carrying her back to the boat just as the black magic crashes into the beast.

she doesn't smile lysithea's way - not even a tug at her lips - but the slight lift of her brows and the brief nod she gives should be proof enough of her gratitude.
]

There may be more in the waters. [ if there's any surprise at lysithea's demeanor - or, well, her new look - it goes unstated. not that that should come as too much of a surprise, given just who's talking here. ] Stay cautious.

[ Welp

He's one hundred percent sure, based on the crunch beneath his feet that he'd have zero ability to put the thing together, whatever it was. He never thought he'd miss Shen Yi, but it certainly was useful having someone run after him, cleaning up his messes while he, naturally, ran off.

...

Actually, whether or not somebody cleans up after him, he can still do the running off part. So he turns to do just that... ]


Tch!

[ And nearly trips right over something soft and warm in his way. Wtf, why is there so much crap on the sidewalk? One second after this thought crosses his mind, it occurs to him that he might have tripped over a child. Ugh.

He reaches down to pat his best guess of where he thinks the kid's head might be, and says in a sweet (and v fake) tone: ]


Ahaha. You all right?

which is to say, yeah. She's got Thyrsus out and pointed.]


The water isn't clear enough to see them coming well...

Most likely. [he seems to agree, eyes bouncing down and back up Amajiki, seeming to size him up with a scowl. don't mind him, it's a normal thing he does. his question, though — it's not that bad of one. Guanshan's self-preservation isn't the greatest, even amidst all of his cowardice and the natural suspicion of others, and a few days of hell probably aren't going to change that.]

Maybe that's why I asked the quiet guy who can't stop shakin'. Seriously man, you look like a gerbil.

[and that's something coming from a dude who regularly gets fearboners.]

[ The skull-patterned wallpaper and torn curtains lend a certain charm to the place that nobody could possibly appreciate. ]

I trust that they won't give anyone faulty housing, but this is a bit much. You're right; let's keep trying.

[ This next room they try has an almost military aesthetic. It feels like a fourth wall is breaking somewhere. At least this one isn't too weird. But maybe another-? ]

We just saw each other at Haven. That wasn't a long time ago!

[ The gasp she lets out is more than audible even with the door between them. She's quick to cover her mouth with her hand and eyes dart from one corner to another just to try and find something to use for defending herself. She could use a Glyph, but she needs something to cast it with.

!!

The clothes hanger!

Yeah, she's definitely grabbing that and pointing it at the door lock to make it a lot heavier than it should be. Even turning the handle should be difficult to do now. And in the case that he manages to break though, she'll just have to use her ice magic. She's not that well-versed in it yet, but god. She's gonna slap his face and freeze his cheek if she can. ]
pushpin: (Solo in my utter disgust.)

kai, i......... mams please

[personal profile] pushpin 2019-09-09 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Ah?!

[is the very attractive squawk that cuts off with all the snot beginning run and coagulate in his throat. not a pretty crier, this one. he's more of a fighter than this normally, but the sheer actual fucking shock of what's happening has done him in, limp and receptive, feet dangling a few inches off of the ground as he's spirited away.]

[it's several steps before Guanshan's brain catches up with the voyage his body is unwillingly taking and his feet give an impressive kick, an elongated and slender body abruptly bursting to life like a cat realizing its owner is taking it to a dreaded bath.]


What the— what the fuck is this, put me down!! [hands raising to grip the wrists holding him up, he tries pushing them down to let him go, and they... don't really budge at all. damn, this dude's strong.]

[follow-up plan: scream even louder.]
Help! Hey, somebody help me, this guy's tryna kidnap me!

[ Whoever this man is, he's no braggart. Damian can appreciate that on some level, but on a more practical one, it's annoying. Prideful men are always the easiest to get a handle on, endear one's self to. The thought casts not so much as a passing shadow over his face though, as he shrugs out of his clothing. ]

That's kind of you -- but in my experience this is just a matter of priorities. Anyone can dress well, if it's important to them.

[ Which it clearly is, from the way he hangs the jacket, pants, and dress shirt draped over a tree branch. The rest is folded neatly on the ground, and Damian is quick to hustle himself into the water. Not quite so quick that he doesn't, for a moment, show off the tapestry of scars of his body. Some old, some new, some faint, some looking like they once might have been quite severe, all scattered with no apparent pattern.

Once he's chest-deep in water and looking very content for it, he leans to offer out a hand for a shake.
]

Damian Saint Lorrant.

[ Let's see that hand again, buddy. ]

You... did?

[she didn't know she could zap people! but then she looks down and notices a button on the collar of the sweater. Maki studies it, then presses it. it doesn't look like anything has happened outwardly]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to zap you.
nandemonai: (i want to feel them)

Ah...hahaha.

[ He rubs his nose. He'd been running his mouth off, thinking aloud, and—clearly—he's touched a nerve. Somebody whose mind works exactly the way his does, did do something pretty bad to this kid. Kid? Does he not age, either? ]

Food, yes. That's a good idea.

[As nostalgic as that one might be- somehow it looks almost exactly like an anime he watched as a kid... That's gonna be another pass.]

At this rate, camping out is starting to look like the safest bet.

[Or not. He sighs.]

[the same old defense mechanisms, his body tensing the moment he's touched — why people always assume he wants to be touched and comforted is beyond him — but it's only a precursor to the way he goes carefully and completely still when she speaks to him. he knows that voice. he'd know it half asleep and on the cusp of dreaming — and he has, before. the accent, the sweet petname (he thought she only used that for him—), the way there are two voices in the whole known universe he'll actually let talk to him like that without a fight and one of them is related by blood.]

[if he could not stand up, that'd be fine. if he could not face this impending reality that he doesn't want, of knowing he could very well be facing a future with someone he actually cares about not remembering a goddamn thing about why he cares in the first place...]

[if he could just fall all over the concrete instead of dealing with this, that would be... better.]

[but he can't. all he can do is pick himself up, turn and look at her, feel the hot drip of fresh tears from wide orange eyes and the accompanying way his ribs seem to concave and crush his heart within.]

I mean. I... guess? [ after a moment's hesitation, she picks one up. it's not... AS bad as it could be, maybe...? ] Did you... I mean, are they...
