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.

"Mr. Right"... That's a fun way to say it...

[It sounds really cute, too... But- Not wanting to just keep Manuela standing while she tells a story that was, admittedly, very confusing even for her no matter how happy she was with the outcome Konoha's gaze drifts up in obvious thought, pursing her lips until- Eureka!]

How about I tell the story while you look for clothes to try on?

[Compromise is so beautiful.]

[Blind picking. She likes it. Taking her glass, she has herself a sip and then another right after. Wine is delicious okay?]

Well aren't you just living up to your name. Is there anything that isn't yours yet?

[ She'd noted him among the other customers in the shop, but as he'd been very immersed in his searching, she hadn't paid him much mind until he spoke and drew her attention back to him. Head turning to flick her gaze over the items he needed an opinion on, she pauses and arches an eyebrow before giving him a bemused smirk and canting her head to the side as she takes in each piece of clothing. And then him. ]

That depends. Were you going for blinding, glow in the dark, or 'please step on me'-chic?

[ She gives a quiet scoff at that and lets her gaze scan her surroundings once more, out of habit. ]

Well, at least that's ingenius of them, even if it is accidental. I'd tend to believe incompetence over malicious, from what I've witnessed so far, but I've only been here a short while, so I've not had time enough to observe enough for a more educated guess.

[Ren looks a little doubtful at that, though the motion is a touch playful as well.] Is that just so nobody can call you a sore loser...?

[Still, he doesn't seem too concerned with continuing to poke fun at Thoth's clothing criticisms, instead curling a hand under his chin and looking the other man over.]

Though I think most of the clothes in here are patterned in the same sort of way, so if you think this is hideous then I don't know how much luck you're going to have finding anything in here that isn't...

[There has definitely been a certain theme while he's been going around this store, and while Ren is fairly broad in the kinds of things he'll wear, as is probably obvious by his complete lack of shame about wearing this kind of sweater, there's definitely a lot of tacky in here as well.]

[ Her lips twitch at that first assessment and she inclines her head. ]

I know. Which is exactly what got us all working together again in the first place, once Lang showed up with his insane theory. Tony tried to scoff it all off as Back to the Future bullshit, but even he couldn't let it go.

[ She doesn't look surprised that there's still friction between those two, but her lips purse in thought for a moment as she leans forward, arms propped on the table. ]

That's because their most common trait is their stubbornness. When are they both from? Do you know?

[ ...aka just how bad is this friction and how much time have they had to get over what went down with the Accords, and then with Barnes. ]

[Manuela perks up and smiles. Her hands clap together and she gives a nod.]

That's an excellent idea. Let's start over here and you can get started on the story. I think I saw something that would show off the girls well over here.

[She even leads the way over. Because she well remembers seeing a cute blue number over here somewhere...]

I don't trust them. They seemed very well prepared for the huge influx of people, despite claiming nothing like this had happened before.

And their history has large gaps.

You'll have to forgive me for my song choice. Ain't exactly a millennial.

[Though he doesn't look a day past twenty-five? But another lovely song by another lovely man, it is. He's back to washing his hair again — a comforting gesture in what little nervousness he has as he begins. He may be embarrassed to be with a naked woman without warning, but when it comes to his talent, he is more than eager to show them at the first opportunity. The sweet, lofty melody seems to dance through the air like a butterfly as he makes work of it, his voice clear and crisp through the evening breeze.]

It's just something I heard in Kabukicho. Makes all those big shots from Shanghai swoon when the girls sing it.

O- Okay!

[A beat behind Konoha trots after Manuela, trying to think of just where she ought to start, gaze torn this way and that by all the bright colors and weird cuts of clothing at this strange shop.]

Well, um... I came here first about two months ago, but before that I was actually traveling with another group for about a year... so I hadn't seen another jinba in a really long time, let alone anyone I knew, and I was really worried about my parents back home, they're getting on in years, you know, and my job, and-

[She pauses to point at herself again, sheepish.]

Jinba is what I am, by the way. My husband, too.
hoasen: (satisfaction)

[See, there was no rawing IT WAS PURE. Can't believe he was thinking that the whole time, and that she didn't even realise he was thinking about it. I mean she's still confused, but because nothing happened, it's not like he was assuming correctly? God. Yana why.

But...she can't be mad at him right now when this looks utterly adorable. She crosses her arms and sighs, a little perplexed, but not really.]


I kept telling you, it is your son, no?

[Well, maybe she's a little endeared.]

☞ burning vehicle: b
[Realistically, he should probably be more bothered by all of this than he actually is, but the truth is, this isn't the strangest thing that's happened to him lately, or maybe even at all, so Thancred is adjusting as well as he possibly can be. Sure, the landscape is a bit of an eyesore, but not much more than Il Mheg, so for better or for worse, he'll live.

...or, at least, that was the idea before the transport vehicle decided to start malfunctioning. (Why can't he have an uneventful trip to another world for once? That'd be nice.) He doesn't need to be told twice to watch out for others, though. In fact, odds are, he checked in and encouraged anyone sitting beside him when the tremors started that they'd be alright (somehow). And when the creatures start to invade the ship, he's quick to volunteer himself to handle it.]


I'll take care of our little friends. [If they turn out to be dangerous or violent, he'd rather be the one to deal with them.] Do try and keep your hands to yourself. They seem a rather affectionate lot.

☞ jaws iv: b

[This sure doesn't feel familiar at all. Well, regardless, despite all the earlier excitement, Thancred doesn't find himself eager to rest in this new world. So, while others are settling in for the night, Thancred instead heads outside of the inn. He can be found in a few places: either loitering around just outside, exploring the area nearby (and being accosted by chinchillas, because of course he is), or maybe accidentally stumbling upon people in the spring. It is completely, 100% an accident, I promise. Either way, he's around, snooping or chatting up the locals (or fellow Moonblessed) or on the verge of making questionable nighttime decisions. You know, the usual.]

[ She clicks her tongue in a tsk of disappointment, playful, even as she carefully balances herself as the boat rocks again. The battering ram in the form of the sea lion slides back into the water, circling their boat now, and her eyes follow the darker shadow beneath the water with careful intent as she braces herself. ]

Well, we're not exactly in Sea World right now. When's the last time you encountered jellyfish that could eat through the hull of a spaceship? Or people's faces, for that matter.

[ Her fingers pause in the action of massaging the soap through her hair as she glances over at him, curiosity more than piqued now. ]

Well, that's a claim you don't often hear. World-hopping a thing where you come from? Or are you just that lucky.

[ 'Lucky' being a matter of perspective, of course. ]

[With distance, it can't be awkward. Especially since she's keeping herself as submerged as possible and practically covered. After the first time where this occurred, she's taken precautions.]

Y-yes, I am, actually! Vietnam, to be precise. My brother is Japan. From Japan.

[Both.]

► 1-A. a big mechanical pegasi

[ marianne doesn’t know what riding a ship is supposed to be like. back at the monastery, she had gotten on a pegasus’ back a couple times, only to decide that she preferred horses more than their larger, winged equivalents. so when the tremors start up, she just clasps her hands together and ducks her head. she can get through this. she’s been through worse.

as the turbulence gets worse, anyone sitting near her will hear her whispering prayers to the goddess - if the goddess can even hear her from here. the thought shakes her confidence a little, and she turns to you to ask- ]
Is this- I’m sorry, is this normal?

► 2-B. it’s free heal estate

[ this is something she can do. this is a real, tangible way she can help. she tries to clear her mind of the battle she just took part in, though it’s hard to push away the idea that calamity, destruction, terror follows her wherever she goes.

she can make things better. she can help people. she’s not cursed.

so she’ll approach you with- well, maybe not with a smile on her face, but with a determined set to her jaw and her hands raised. ]
Are you feeling hurt? I can help.

► 2-B. the chinchilla whisperer

[ the rabbit people had been nice. extremely generous, and very kind, to help all of them out. but once everyone had been patched up as well as possible, the conversation had turned to—

well. marianne had made a quick escape, deciding to take a walk around the hot spring. it doesn’t take long for her to run into one of the little chinchillas.

you’ll find her crouching in the grass and mud a few feet away from the little rodent, fingers reached slightly in front of her as she murmurs under her breath. animals are so much easier to make friends with than people. ]

some online shops would send your chosen outfit at your doorstep if it fits you and if it doesnt you're free to return it and they can give the right size for you for free or a discount

"I suppose one would need to bathe afterward, should the results be untoward enough," he allows.

(Sorry. He's medieval and to him, 'bathroom' means bathing chamber and not an American euphemism for 'privy.' He wouldn't have any idea what an America was either.)

"As I said, I am familiar with sea-travel," he adds. "And I suppose it is also that I've seen enough strange things in my time that a flying ship is just one more oddity."

[Yosano won't draw attention to it, no worries there. She doesn't particularly want the contact to end either, but if she points it out he'll get too embarrassed to keep it up.} Thank you for your generosity. [How kind of him to forgive her of all the things that aren't ehr fault to begin with.

She listens, eyebrows raised in surprise
] Well...It's a lot more eventful than my arrival was. [She had a pretty smooth time, all things considered. She eyes him critically, trying to see if he's injured just from looking.]

It can get pretty...lively. We were kidnapped by fox people the other month. [her expression sours and she reaches up to touch at her hairpin as if to reassure herself it's still there. They'd stolen it from her and there had sure been hell to pay for that.]

But generally it's not so bad. It's pretty easy to get all the food you could ever want to try. [Which should cheer him up, a lil bit at least, right??]

"It would only be polite to try, Yuri-san," Imriel says, for as rude as he often was when he was younger (and still could be, in his darker moods), he has learned to be courteous to strangers.

"And yes, both men and women who served that way in my country will bare their backs to show that they are accepting patrons." It was slightly more complicated than that with Servants of Namaah who had yet to finish making their marque, as showing a half-finished back was deemed vulgar, but he doesn't want to bore her with the finer details.
