▶ 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.

Yep! Zeno played with his and did some stuff to make it look more like home!

[ Ah, a fellow tea afficiando. Ferdinand smiles at first, glad to have made a good impression, but that expression soon gives way to confusion at the almost blasphemous insinuation of cold tea. ]

I'm not familiar with this "American" style of tea, but I assure you, I intend to serve it hot, just as it was intended.

[ He bows politely, then enters through the door, accepting the tacit invitation. ]

Would it be too presumptuous of me to use your stove? I've familiarized myself with how they work in these rooms. It was the very first thing I taught myself how to do, in fact.

[ He really does have his priorities in order. Running water and electricity aren't exactly the sorts of amenities one would find where he comes from, but he's quickly learned to appreciate them. ]

The phrase "basketball" makes O'rhok immediately think of dozens, if not hundreds, of small balls being released or pelted at players carrying baskets trying to catch them all. He's not sure if this is accurate or not, but there's a curiosity in Tetsuya that distracts him from the absurd question of sport.

"Oh, Giggity? Well he's a spriggan, and they're known mostly to eat rocks and minerals. Glass is a treat for him, shells too when I come across them. I picked him up when he was only about yey big," He makes a circle with his thumb and index finger, about the size of a large cotton ball. Once the spriggan is finished crunching, grinding, and swallowing his delicious bottle, he'll probably fall asleep in the sac for a few hours.

Tetsuya tells him about Japan, and O'rhok feels a content rumble kick at his ribs.

"We call it Doma," he says, his tail giving an idle swish behind him- short, coarse blue fur with a wide black tuft at the end like a lion's. "Green rice grows around ever hill, and heat's so thick you could carve it with a sword. The persimmons and papercraft show how sweet and detailed the people are, but they're strong too. Too strong for words."

This kid isn't Doman, but he's also a kid. To O'rhok's eyes he can't be beyond his teenage years yet, and it ticks a box the older man wasn't conciously checking for: Tetsuya is young. Why is he here? Why would the moons pick a young man whose barely earned the right to be one?

"How old are you, kid?" He's fit and has a runner's look to him, lean and in good health, but unarmed. "You any good in a fight yet?" O'rhok is unarmed too of course, except for his claws and know-how, but that's only the surface of things. Lunatica is safe, at least up here on this level.

Who knows! It'll be interesting to see. Don't worry though, I don't think things ever get too drastic...

[ So far, Ferdinand's goodwill tour appears to be going well. He bows, quickly and politely, before entering the room. ]

I thank you for your hospitality. In truth, I thought it might be a good idea to get to know some of my fellow individuals stranded far from their homes. "Moonblessed," I believe they call us? Though I must admit, it hardly feels like a blessing.

[ Holding the teapot in one hand, he gestures toward the stove with the other. ]

May I?

[ He can't help but imitate her, clicking his tongue in return, before returning his focus to the matter at hand. ]

No, we're not, but between us, I wouldn't mind it if I was there. Anywhere is better than here, am I right?

[ He doesn't expect an answer, of course. It doesn't really need to be said that there are a lot of places better than this boat surrounded by attacking sea lions. Although, he supposes that at least he's here, as opposed to the alternative of being just a memory eventually forgotten. ]

How did they become that way, I wonder?

[ It's mostly a rhetorical question, because there's probably no good answer to it, but he asks it anyway. It's funny to him, because obviously they're enhanced somehow, just like he is. ]

I was thinking the same thing, but then again, I'm not very much use on this boat.

[ Enhanced or not, he can't run on water, although right now, he's wishing he could do just that.

But yes, there is definitely something (or somethings) to be said for people who can roll with the punches in tense situations. Pietro's thinking the same of Setsuna, and already wondering if she might be a potential ally. ]


Pietro Maximoff.

[ He's not much of a handshaking kind of guy, but he extends his just because it feels like showing a little courtesy is the least he can do. ]

[ it's difficult to hear anything over the blaring music (hadn't they ever heard of ambiance?) so yukari has to look at mitsuru before it registers that yes, she'd know that voice anywhere, and that yes, her eternally busy best friend had finally arrived.

"Don't got a fuckin' thought in their heads, lil bro. Big blank nothing. Sure, they eat people, sure, pain doesn't bother them. But their mindless, shuffling antics are only so tolerable." There's a pause, like he has some other well thought out reason, but he just adds: "plus, they're so mainstream. Everyone and their mom loves zombies."

What a hipster thing to say.

Dirk is completely invested in gaming the system both because he's used to being rich and because he doesn't want to get even physically intimate with anyone. It's not like he's asexual, obviously, check out his porn, it's just he's got a problem with his own damn sexual tastes. He ain't gonna explore that for real in front of his bro, especially. That internalized homophobia runs deep, even deeper than when he was young and actually experimenting. He wouldn't disown Dave if he ended up being queer, but he'd blame himself like there was something wrong with it, like it was 'his fault.'

So yeah, Dave being enthused about his not-intimate moneymaking is a good sign. "Fuck a maid cafe," he says, "it's time for a granny cafe. Not an inch of skin showing. Wholesome as shit." Dave you too are going to wear a wholesome sweater, just you wait.

This is the best idea he's had in a while, really.

[ So far, Ferdinand has tried his best to acclimate to life in this strange city on this strange world. But he stands out like a sore thumb, ever so proper and formal. He gets more than a few odd looks when he holds the door for someone and bows for them, and while he hasn't let that discourage him, even he's aware of how out of his element he truly is... which is why he's used what limited resources he has to make a quick shopping run, to pick himself out a nice teapot with which to enjoy some of the simpler things in life, as well as a change of clothes. So far, he has found little that suits him.

But it's during this expedition that he sees another familiar face, and one that stands out every bit as much as his, albeit for very different reasons. She seems rather discontent with the wares as well, and though he doesn't hear her comment about bachelors, he does approach, a warm smile on his face. ]


Ah, hello, Manuela! It is a joy to see you, though I'm certain that we both wish it were under different circumstances.

Zeno doesn't mind the company! Mn, moonblessed! Zeno still isn't sure what they mean for us to do but someone showed me that holding hands and hugging is really nice and you get money? So it's a little weird.

[With a bounce he nods and sits down at the table near the stove.]

You know how to work that thing?

[ He's about to make some snippy remark that there's plenty of room to walk around him, but the sudden grab at his collar cuts it off into an undignified noise. ]

You're free to proceed on your own.

[ Still, despite that deadpan mutter, he doesn't struggle; as humiliating as this treatment is, he knows he's not going to be able to walk easily with all these jellyfish rendering the floor so slippery. So he reluctantly stumbles along, teeth gritted.

At least when some more errant jellyfish come spilling there way, he erects a magical shield to repel them. Just a circular plane of magic that appears behind them that the jellyfish bounce off of, plopping sadly to the floor.

Avicebron glances back down the way they came, even as he struggles to keep up. ]


We should hurry. There's smoke further down the hallway.

I'm fine, of course.

[ He waves a hand in what would be an airy gesture if not for the drops of blood dripping onto the ground. ]

The important question here is how did you do that?

[ Aside from his sister, and maybe some of the individuals making up the Avengers, he's never seen anyone who had what appeared to be enhanced abilities. ]

[ Ferdinand is no stranger to peril. He likes to think that his time at the Officers Academy has helped him become quite handy to have around in a fight, even against flying aquatic animals like the ones that attacked their vessel. But he's only really handy for fighting and displaying leadership, not at what needs to be done after a battle.

So when he sees Marianne going out of her way to offer her assistance to each other, he feels a certain pride in his chest. For as long as he's known her, she's seemed to regard herself as a hindrance to others. That was a trait he tried to address by encouraging her to show confidence, but really, this sort of kindness and generosity is entirely her own doing.

It's when she's finished tending to her last patient that he makes his presence known, approaching her with a warm, friendly smile. ]


I'm truly impressed, Marianne. You're going out of your way to assist others, even those you've only just met. That is the true essence of nobility, but more than that, it is an example we should all follow.

[ Perhaps he looks a little different from when she last saw him — he hasn't had time for a haircut — but he's pretty much the same old Ferdinand. For better or worse. ]

Oh Ferdinand. It's so good to see you no matter the circumstances in this case. Though, I hadn't expected to find you out shopping. Unless you were hoping for new clothes?
