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.

I'll still have both my hands free to pull your hair if you're a jerk.

[ So she's less vulnerable, basically. Somehow it's less intimate. She doesn't know how, she doesn't have to make sense. ]

When you put it like that...

[ Eren hated to admit that she had some point. He's somewhat uncomfortable with the rabbit people to begin with, which might explain his concern better than anything else. But now that he got a better look at the woman, there's something else that's bothering him.

The way she won't raise her head beyond the low angle at which she holds it. He hasn't gotten a look at her eyes this whole time he's been watching her, and it's obviously intentional. Rather than risk it and take a peek of his own volition, he decides to be up front about it. ]


I've known people who avoid eye contact because they're not very social. And I've seen people who have issues standing up straight. You don't strike me as either of those, so why exactly aren't you looking me in the eye?

Ah, Atsushi-kun! I thought that hair of yours looked familiar.

[How did he even fail to recognize him?? It's a mystery.]

[But for his part, Ranpo still looks like a bit of a mess. He's hungry, and hasn't really had the time to look into housing or getting a new change of clothes after the ordeal that was his arrival. So he looks a bit like a hobo right now, with an ominous bite taken out of his coat.]


You've probably been here a while, right? I'm starving! You should just treat me this time!

And if they're not eating five fruits and vegetables a day, then other people in the city will see them doing it and copy them, and so soon the whole city will-

[ Wait. Let her just. Process that. ]

Oh! You'd do that for me? That would solve- [ She counts on her fingers. ] -at least three of the problems I have right now.

That only makes it kinkier, you know.

[ He still thinks her reasoning is pretty... bad, but he also doesn't really care. Not caring is what Mercury does best. ]

But fine, whatever, it's a deal. Damnit, I think these pants are too small.

Exactly.

[ ...wait, that wasn't him displaying a remarkable understanding of her cool plan. That was him being snide about her cool plan. RUDE. ]

Touching people with bullets is still touching. It might work. This is why you have to test these things.

[ IT WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT WORK. ]

Do you have a gun?

I listened! [ No, he really did not. ]

I simply believe there are better alternatives to... this. [ He gestures in Titus' general direction. ] I don't know you, and I'm not interested in participating in your little ploy. Just hand over your Chroma and I'll be on my way. You can moonlace with someone else.

I could eat a raw potato and you'd think it was kinky.

[ She's just going to dismiss it because she has no idea why it makes sense to her, but she's pretty sure it does. ]

Handholding is kind of.. how Sei and Chihiro and I got together. Because of handholding. I'll spare you the details so you don't have to gag about it, but they'd get weird about it if I held your hand.

[ So, there. No handholding. She holds her hand over the top of the door. ]

Here, hand them to me. I'll go find the next size up while you try on whatever else you've got.
sarcaskick: (well that sure was a thing right there)

[ Ninety-seven percent of Mercury's personality can be easily summed up as "being snide about (blank)." ]

That's definitely not the way this works. A taser doesn't stop bullets.

[ ... Which also includes him assuming that the shock from the sweater is like a tazer and not some kind of electric field? But would that stop bullets either?? ]

... Are you going to ask me to shoot you if I say "yes"?

-and then they're going to get scurvy and-

[ She's in the middle of some pretty amazing catastrophizing when Integra's hand lands on her shoulder. She blinks and- oh. The boss is here! That cheers her up pretty efficiently. ]

-Sir Integra! Everyone in this complex is going to die!

[ ...wait, she sounded way too delighted about that. She's not delighted about it. She's just happy to see Integra. ]

-that's a bad thing. I meant to make it sound bad.

[ ... This will surely, surely, not lead to Mercury holding her hand in front of them at some point in the future. Definitely not. Absolutely not. Perish the thought.

But he can't reveal that, so: ]


Gross.

[ That'll do.

After a moment's silence, the shuffling of fabric, she'll have the pants handed to her from over the door. They're black (surprise!!) but rather than the duller shade of blue that his usual pair is accented by, these ones have some accents in a bright, almost vibrant yellow. Trying to switch it up, here. ]


Don't keep me waiting too long. You know I hate waiting.
zombiepumpkins: (its time for safe and legal fun)

[personal profile] zombiepumpkins 2019-09-09 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[ She's so glad that he caught on so quickly. Snideness forgiven. ]

I was going to do the bullet test later, but if you're worried about guns ruining the whole thing I can move that forward.

[ lucky for banri, masatoyo, despite his gentle nature, is very skilled with a sword, so he's been doing his part to keep the sea lions at bay. unfortunately he failed to notice the one that comes behind him that banri thankfully thanks care of, so he's surprised when he hears the thud and the splash, followed by banri's words of concern. ]

I'm alright. Thank you.

[ he takes a good look at him, with his long hair and that scary disposition of his, and starts to wonder if maybe he's part of an army, too. ]

. . . You're pretty good at that. Are you also a swordsman?

[ He's so good at respecting boundaries. ]

I know. Keep trying on whatever else you've got in there.

[ She takes the pants and goes off to ask the store clerk to find them for her. She wasn't hanging out in the mens' sections, she doesn't know where they are so that's the fastest way for her to find them.

She ends up coming back with that pair with one size up, another pair of pants that's just plain, and one of the trench coats with the neon buttons. Look, she wants a good laugh out of it. ]

Let's play this out for a second, hypothetically. We do this test. I shoot you. It doesn't stop the bullet. You die.

What do I tell the authorities?

"It's okay, she asked me to shoot her"?

[ titus shifts his weight and shrugs, and instantly the golden beam of light begins to look... a little less sublime :( ]

I certainly can moonlace with someone else, but I am not at all sure you can. And if you don't moonlace at all, you are going to end up with bigger problems than not being able to buy all the fancy clothes you want... Though naturally you already know that, don't you? Considering how well you listened to the Prismals' explanations.

Yan Qing effortlessly hides his embarrassment as thespians of his kind are wont to do, but dammit, this always happens! Why is he so handsome! (Someone kill him.)

[ The smile that's settled on Lía's face tugs that much wider as she side steps a jellyfish attempting to rush and connect with her face and takes the opportunity to step closer to the man who'd addressed her. She's quick on her feet in starting and stopping and spares a sweeping glance around them before settling her gaze on her present company. ]

What, that? That was a simple ice spell. I could probably teach you, I think.

[ She thinks because she's only ever met two races of peoples and most everyone she's encountered since arriving here are decidedly neither of those. Sort of similar? Sometimes. In appearance, at least, but given that and his surprised expression, she has to wonder. The Etan had lacked the ability, after all. ]
