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.

[disregard away, my nauseous friend. while Hazel may have created this situation in the first place, she's also watching with sharp eyes for even the slightest hint of movement in the water while the target of her somewhat-warranted bullying pukes up what's left of his guts. her attention snaps away just a few moments before he's pushing himself back up again, grateful for the obvious telegraphing such a motion entails. caring is not on the agenda with this asshat anymore.]

That's why you should be careful about shit-talking the people who help you out.

[not that she really made it amazingly easy with her opening admonishment, but there's at least a small amount of blame resting on Guanshan's unsteady shoulders as well. made all the smaller when he curls up into the most pathetic position he could find, prompting a soft snort from Hazel as she walks around him and takes a seat herself. it's pure coincidence that doing so has put her between the sad sack at the bottom of the boat and the open water.]

But I think you're all out of puke now, so you should be good for the rest of the trip. Which, you know. You're welcome.

[She's still red, but she manages a laugh when he calls it a sacrifice, and she watches as he starts to put it back.] That one...she made you pick that, no?

[And this followed by a nod.] Of course! I'm not even sure what I'm looking for, but that only means we can spend more time figuring that out.

[She coughs as she laughs again when he wiggles the disastrous article of clothing. Right, time for more bad acting! Clearing throat, she raises her voice, just a little.]

Please, I need all the help I can get! What do you think looks best on me? [Quick, time to pull out everything!]

He doesn't have fucking blood clots, Dave. He also hasn't been to a doctor in literal decades, and telling him one is a hot woman isn't about to get him to change his mind, sorry. But he's here, right now, and that's what matters, right? Better late (hah, late) than never.

"Tex-mex." That sounds innocuous. Really innocuous. "Tacos, specifically." Oh, no. There's so much material there. "I'll iron out the details later. Menu items, names." He feels an odd pang at the idea of Dave actually helping, but presses that thought down. Not now.

(Then when?)

Dave should know better than to lie to a human lie detector. "Bullshit," he says, and there's a tension there that's not directed at Dave, inexplicably. But he takes a breath. Quiets. "David." Now that one's a rarity. "Let me rephrase. What happened with Cal?" There's a sharpness to his tone. "Don't be a little shit, either."

[Claude wasn't the only one fighting but unfortunately for him the other person fight happens to be a tad reckless with his fight style. Grabbing a paddle he beats one of the sea lions off the side as it snaps at him. Zeno doesn't yield as he smacks it again only to have one bite his leg. With a wince he looks at the large bite wound before kicking the thing in the face making it retreat.]

Zeno has got this side!

Do they look like my style?

[Likewise, if Ranpo is shocked at all to see Dazai here, he's not showing it. After the trials he went through just to get here, he's already Done™ with just about everything this place has to offer.]

The bigger question is why they have an on switch at all! Who would actually wear these? Let alone, outside!

Little guy?

Ahaha, in a way yes!

[With a nod he tries to return them but...the shopkeep saw the whole thing and Zeno is left buying the sweater and pants.]

...well Zeno has new clothes.

[He's being a jerk that's true. Also her eye twitches at that comment.]

Excuse me? [Considering it's a sore point since she wouldn't have minded have a family like humans do--]

What were you even thinking? I can't even get pregnant and we have never been intimate?!

[Is she going to have to hit him again?!]

[Zeno was about to eat some of the rice in front of him when he hears the voice of someone near him. Blue eyes look to the other with a curious tilt of his head. The plants in his hands...some look like something that Yoon might use? Was this guy looking for them here?

Taking a big bite he chews and swallows before he looks over the plants a little more.]


Zeno...isn't completely sure. What do you need them for?

[He might be able to help if he knows what he was looking for.]

[Zeno will let it slide he's used to be pretty small.]

Just a little, missy! It's okay though Zeno has some extra...money stuff for once!

[personal profile] witchwithoutacause 2019-09-11 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
'Missy' huh?

[ That's silly. ]

I'm Amanda. And uh... good for you. Didn't look bad on you, I guess.

[And he would be correct. Sidon might be royal, but he's probably the most amicable royal person you'll ever meet. And seeing that he's going to be having company for a while, Sidon settles back down in the water almost past his neck, seemingly effortlessly keeping himself there without having to wade in the water all that much.]

Is this your first time meeting one who is such?
bangpae_yong: (pic#13443845)

[personal profile] bangpae_yong 2019-09-11 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Missy, yep! Hmm...nice to meet you, Amanda. My name is Zeno.

[If she hasn't been able to tell that by now.]

Wahaha, I don't know about that!

Maybe, maybe not. If hot chick won't work, what about free pastry? That's why Dave goes. Wait, no it's because of the hot chick. Shit. All that aside and the restaurant ideas start flowing from his brother's mouth and it's just not stopping until he hits on tacos. "Tacos? Really? You're going for the obvious vag gag? Bro. C'mon I know you better. I expect a report on my desk by Monday." Whenever Monday is, Dave hasn't even been checking the days. He could care less. He's been more fixated on finding out how to get Karkat to be able to sleep properly after stalking reading his conversation with aforementioned doctor.

Dave shifts uncomfortably in his seat when he gets called out instantaneously on the bullshit rightly called on and tucks his legs up a little closer hearing his full name. Shit. Okay, he's been called the fuck out and Dirk knows he's lying. He should come to expect this but he had a hope there's no reason to answer. Thirteen all over again and the earlier gusto about standing up to Dirk has no home in Dave's chest. "I'm..." going to get his ass beaten if he lies again, that's what he is. "He's gone, dude. He fucked us over, turned out to be linked through game bullshit to be a giant green prick and a bunch of ghosts killed him I think." He cant say 'I hope'. "I don't want to talk about it."

[Strangely enough, the knowledge that he's a ghost wouldn't be all that surprising to Sidon either. Like, spirits and the like are definitely also things in Hyrule.

He smiles, lifting a hand.]


No need to be so formal, though it is an honor to meet you all the same. This world thrives on the accomplishments of teachers and writers, after all!

Have you been in this place for very long?

[ she had that coming but owwwww ]

Wh-What's wrong with that? At least it's more accessible that way! Even if the games don't exactly follow the story at this point.

[ at least her interest on yan qing has been piqued? for better or for worse. ]

So, which one of those 108 guys are you? Unless you kind of embody all of them...?

[Sidon is more an exception to the rule than anything, considering how certain Zora can be.

Sidon is...quite visibly stunned by the way Lapis walks towards him on top of the water's surface as if it were made of glass, watching with rapt attention until she's seated next to him.]


Astounding! I have never met someone with magical capabilities quite like your own, Lapis.
witchwithoutacause: (ruining stuff sounds great)

[personal profile] witchwithoutacause 2019-09-11 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Zeno. Got it.

I mean, I've seen worse? Maybe I'm a bad judge for dudes.
beliefsystem: (5)

[personal profile] beliefsystem 2019-09-11 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[So, so much scandalous wear...it's probably plainly obvious why the Prismals went for the more form fitting attire first before anything else. But hey, can you really blame them.

Sidon eyes the sweater- sweaters- in question, because there are quite a few to choose from. Not necessarily in his size really...at all, but even a sweater that's too tight wouldn't be as uncomfortable as something designed to specifically hug your body.]


Yes! Let's give it a try!

[The Prismals seem unsure, but they're willing to work with Sidon however he likes. Of course there's a matter of getting the leggings off first which...takes a minute, mainly to make sure they don't rip.]
bangpae_yong: (pic#13443866)

[personal profile] bangpae_yong 2019-09-11 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, Zeno!

Thank you all the same...this is not something Zeno is really used to wearing?
witchwithoutacause: (Default)

[personal profile] witchwithoutacause 2019-09-11 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I can tell. I don't know if anyone who wasn't born here is used to wearing stuff like that.

[personal profile] beliefsystem 2019-09-11 02:18 am (UTC)(link)

Are you a swimmer yourself?

[she seems a little surprised by his reaction, especially considering how obviously aqua-centric he and his species presumably were. did they really not have anyone who could do something like this? her face makes her baffled curiosity quite clear, although it's briefly displaced when she shakes her head to dispel the incorrect notion coming out of the poor guy's mouth.]

Uh, no, it's not magic. Any Lapis could do this if they needed to.

[and they'd be able to do it without becoming a useless piece of space rock in the process, too. but she does her best to stop thinking those bitter thoughts, pulling herself back into the present.]

I see...

[He's heard the term here. "Human". Humans seem to be fairly identical to Hylians in most every way, except their ears aren't pointed...he's sure there are some other differences too, but that's the most obvious at a glance.]

Those appendages are a result of the moon cycles I have been told about, I assume...though I have yet to experience such a thing for myself.
