▶ TDM .007


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.

Dirk is still working through the whole "without Cal's influence" thing. Maybe he'll get better slowly as time goes on. Maybe he'll relapse as a coping mechanism when facing his own actions is too heavy to process. There are worse things to be than a regular bag of dicks, but he's been the worse things, too.

He's vaguely aware that even this small amount of affection counts as moonlacing to some degree, and he's kind of weirded out about the fact that they seem to want it to feel real nice on top of the normal emotional reward involved. Fucking weird. He kind of doesn't like that it's played as incentive. Should want to of his own goddamn accord.

He doesn't move.

"Yeah," he says, deadpan. "Zombies ain't cool anymore, so it's perfect." There's irony in a "cool" guy like Dirk being called something uncool. The implication here that Jesus is somehow cool is fucking staggering. Anyway an adventuring guild sounds like it would suit Dave. Dirk would approve. Not that Dave actually needs his approval, but Dirk knows he craves it.

"'Course there's a ton of perverts," he confirms, completely unsurprised. But then he stills, in a way he gets that means he's got an idea. He shifts, suddenly stoked about something, but the movement doesn't dislodge Dave. "Not perverts. Shit. Fuck. That's perfect. How fucking ironic would it be to run a business that's completely above-the-board platonic, non-romantic, non-sexual, in fuck town? Spend your fuckbucks on the least titilating experience ever."

[ A jellyfish (or two) has missed their mark and decided to stick on Oui's hairbun, which is a bit of a hassle, but more importantly, one is stuck on another, seemingly inky colored jellyfish with an unhappy countenance... Wait a sec. ]

Whatever are their meal habits, they cannot eat my Totosama! We dealt with enough mishaps in Chaldea where he is almost prepared into takoyaki, tako su, calamari...

[ She manages to remove one from her beloved Papa (more come anyway to pile on like a hat and earmuffs), tossing it to Flat like it's a fastball. ]

Hold on to that one for me.

Dirk is...

Dirk just does things because he thinks they're cool, or ironic, or whatever. Sure, all the bullshit he put his son-brother through had a purpose, but it was still cool. To him.

Anyway he's exploring, because of course he is, he wants to get used to this place, and Dave is busy, so he's, you know, left to his own devices. Last time he came upon the shouty little alien that Dave hadn't wanted him to meet, and it has been hilarious.

He pauses though, mid-stride, because there's another grey alien right in front of him. Not the same one, though there are mild species-related similarities that he notices.

Anyway he's blocking the fucking door.

"You new?" Accentless, even, low. 'Course he's new. "Here." he, in a moment of weakness, grabs this dude's arm to hold the bracelet up to the weird scanner thing so the door will open.

"Open sesame." Then he lets go.

Some people... do what? [The rabbit-people were one thing - she figured they were just like that... but people gaining animal traits? ... And then, apparently, losing them?] I thought it was just how people were born, here. [She also had to miss part of the orientation - due to the "contaminant" she'd brought along with her, so she never got much of a chance to ask many questions.]

... Oh, does it happen to everyone? It can't, can it? [Now she's kind of worried about what she's going to turn up with.]

[ Oh... she actually accepted it. Well. That's not nearly as fun as he hoped it would be, and unseen to her as she busies herself with making her not-quite-a-bed his expression turns to something flat, disappointed. Well, whatever. He got the bed and he doesn't have to share it, that's a win anyway.

He keeps an eye on her for a moment before closing his eyes. He's not wild over the idea of sleeping with someone else in the room who he barely knows. When you're the kind of person who has no qualms about breaking someone's trust, you get a little wary that someone else will do the same to you. She seems harmless, sure. Kind of stupid, even.

But maybe she just wants to give him that impression.

... No, probably not. From his observations, there were a lot of people who really were that dumb and trusting, so he finally closes his eyes. Maybe he can pass out before she--

Talks to him again.

Sigh ]


Don't really care, don't need the help. Feel free to stop talking.

[ this apartment appears to be taken. or it's being perused already, at least, by a very small person that's roughly child-sized, with wild dark curls and tired, bright blue eyes. he has a cloak flung over an arm, and he's barefoot beneath the hem of his pants. he is also frowning as he stands in the kitchen, looking lost and confused and a little upset. ]

.. Is everything here Mannish..? [ hearing someone else, he glances up, too thin and worn and apologetic. he hesitates, fidgeting with the cloak, smiling uncertainly. ] Do-- Do you know what all of these strange gadgets are meant to be used for..? [ as it is, he's going to need a step-stool just to reach the countertops. ]

[ when the video begins, it's a little skewed at first as frodo sorts out the best angle, but finally he leans back to blink a little nervously into the camera. ] .. H-Hello? I.. begging your pardon, but can people actually see me? A nice fellow with the most extravagant pair of antlers explained this device to me, but I must admit that it still seems a bit like magic.

[ he fiddles with what looks like a little gold ring on a chain around his neck, but seems to realize what he's doing a moment later, flushing and lifting it to drop it into the neck of his shirt. that was uncomfortably dangerous. ]

My apologies. My name is Frodo Baggins, and.. I'm a Hobbit. It means that the dwellings that we've been offered are a bit unfortunately-sized for me, so.. information about cozier-sized places would be appreciated. Also.. [ he trails off, looking wistful and a little worried. ] If-- If there are nice green places anywhere in the city, I'd like to hear about them? It's.. been some time since I've seen much green at all, and.. well, as I said, I'm a Hobbit. [ as if that explains everything. ] .. Thank you for any help that you can provide.

[Nah, she just walks very briskly and doesn't need to stop to breathe or rest.

Any units she finds that have someone already living in them she awkwardly apologies for bothering them before moving on. Yes, she really is going to try and find a place with no one else.]

[Well, it's what she wants, but that doesn't mean some part of her isn't convinced that Kerra won't take the opportunity, so her breath catches, as though in surprise, at the other woman's form pushed up against her. She makes a little noise of thought, though, as she settles against her, fuzzy, staticky background sounds and images and all, and her pallid skin takes on some more life as a flush graces her cheeks, and over into her ears.]

I like the idea... but... I think the places where my skin looks... bad are still quite sore. [Her tone turns a bit coy, though the subject actually is fairly serious - it does hurt, after all. She wraps an arm around Kerra's shoulder and leans up to get her lips closer to the other woman's ear.] So be gentle?

Yes, and he's got himself a new pen name to go with that look. Not that it'll matter when he thinks of a new one...

[ The reasons why can be left for his imagination, she's going to act like it's completely normal.

She'll have to copy his new signature when that happens, what a hassle. While her frustration mounts as she tries to pull one off her hand that transferred from her father, Totosama floats right up to Flat, now freed from an aurelia prismatis and exhibit more unusual floating capability. The octopus can't speak, but he can nod sagely with his arms folded. He gestures Oui to speak for them, despite her being a little busy. ]

The young mister Tetsuya might not be the easiest to spot or notice in a crowd, but he has something that something else in the apartment commons absolutely wants: his comm bracelet. The bracelet, and it's deliciously delicious liquid-y crystal yummy nummy nummy, its bitter best tasting yum yum, its-!!

If Tetsuya has his wits about him in this new world, he'll hear Giggity long before the spriggan makes his move. The creature is not of Lunatica, but came along hidden in the gear of another Moonblessed. Giggity is small and round and fuzzy, with large blunt teeth and two long black fluffy ears. He grasps a purple crystal in his tiny hands, and scampers with lolling tongue and amorous chittering as he scampers towards the teenager. And when he close enough?? He strike!

He wants the num num for his tum tum-!!!!

Thankfully, the mad little bunny is only about the size of a small cat, has no claws, and weighs almost exactly the same amount as a regulation basketball.

"Giggity?" And there's a deep masculine voice not far away. "Twelve damn it, Giggity! Get back here!"
