▶ 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.

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.
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.
▶ 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.
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.
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Tatsuya Himuro | Kuroko no Basuke
[B. Himuro thanked the humanoid rabbit before he sank down into the warm water. So much happened that he needed to process as much of it as he can. First, he remembered he ended up in a strange place that wasn't the gym at Yosen High. Next, he wandered around slowly getting used to being in that strange place before those Moon Knights took him back to that facility to get tested. He's glad they told him who they were before he tried to attack them with that crystal he sharpened. After being taken care of in the facility he learned that he was somewhere new and very far from Japan with no idea if anyone back home was here or if he could contact them. Well, that would be one thing he'd had to figure out later.
After he got settled at that facility he boarded something that wouldn't be out of place in a sci-fi movie to their new home. The movie was interesting, though he was fine not knowing how the previous Back Door Slugs went. Then there was that bad turbulence that made him sicker than he's ever been in his life. Thankfully, when the ship landed he was able to get his bearings and settle his stomach. Since they wouldn't be going home for awhile he decided to spend some time at the cabin. It beat having to fight those sharks.
The humanoid rabbits weren't as weird as he thought, though it was still out of the ordinary to see them walking around as normal. He's going to ask them more about this world later, they looked like they knew how things worked here. Now his adventure ended with a natural bath, which is something he really needed. However, being in the spring his mind started to wander back to everything at home, his studies, his friends, his practice, Atsushi...
Would his team be fine without him?
Would his coach be alright without him?
Would his family be alright?
How long before Atsushi ate out all the convenience stores in the surrounding areas?
So many pressing questions on his mind. Himuro sighed softly as he trailed his fingers along the top of the water. Well, he would make the best of his time in this world. He looked over when the rabbit helped another person into the spring. He smiled as he gestured around them.]
That was a really bumpy ride, wasn't it? At least we have this nice spring to relax in. How are you doing?
[II: It's Free Real-Estate]
[A. When they finally landed at their new home Himuro took his time getting to his new apartment after the quick tour. He adjusted his bag from home as he looked around. He didn't expect to be transported to such a big city. It looked like it had everything that anyone could want without going too far, but in space. He never expected a city like this to exist outside of movies, yet here he was. While he enjoyed the natural bath, it was nice to be in a city again. He would explore it more after he found his new apartment. He walked over to level two and picked one of the cozier looking unit. He would change things later, right now he needed to sit down.
Himuro placed his bag in the room on his way over to the bed. It was nice to finally sleep in an actual bed. He looked up when someone walked in the room and waved at them.]
Hello, it's looks like we're roommates.
III. Wildcard]
[Got anything else you'd like to do with Himuro? Let me know in PM or hit me up at
I!! hot springs adventures goooo
The remaining 40% is the pre-cooked rice & curry mix he has in an air-tight bag. GUESS WHO HEARD ABOUT COOKING IN HOT SPRINGS. He wants to try it. What's the worst that could happen??
But also Himuro's finally arrived, and that's Important. He barely pays the rabbits any mind as he sinks down into the hot springs, holding the package in his hand. Despite it all, he does seem really pleased to see him]
It's about time you showed up. You're late, Murochin.
[As if Himuro had any choice in this matter]
woo!!
Better late than never, Atsushi. [He's happy to see him too. Now that he doesn't have to worry about Murasakibara causing havoc to the stores he can relax a little more now.
Himuro looked over at the bag of food in his hand. Well, it wouldn't be the first time Murasakibara tried to carry food into a hot spring.]
Are you allowed to carry food in here? What's in the bag?
no subject
Weird animal features? Other worlds? Magic bullshit?? Like sure, why not. Either he's actually here living this Weird Life, or he got hit in the head with a basketball and this is all some weird fever dream while he's in a coma. It's better to just accept it all, you know?
'Are you allowed?' Himuro asks, and Murasakibara stares down at the bag in his hands for an uncomfortably long moment.] Hmm.... [And then he looks away, setting the bag down into the water and letting it float along.]
It's curry and rice. I read the heat of the hot springs can heat food up so you can eat it again, like a microwave. I wanted to try it.
[This in no way answers the question on if he actually has permission to do this or not.]
no subject
Himuro opened his mouth to ask him a question when he looked at the bag of curry and rice float around in the water.
It doesn't answer his question, but it brings up another one for Himuro.]
The water is good, but not hot enough to do that. One of rabbits told us that we can eat after we have our bath, so it won't be long. While we wait you can tell me more about this place. When did you get here? How long have you been here?
[Dinner won't be that long Murasakibara, but it brings to mind his most important question:
What has Murasakibara's diet been like?]
no subject
[The good news is that, despite everything about what his appearance and general attitude might suggest, he actually does have most of the answers to Himuro's burning questions. And, because it'd be Himuro asking, he wouldn't mind actually answering them. Except the diet questions. Don't go there Himuro!!
He hums and leans back against the side of the spring, shrugging at the question.]
A few weeks ago, with the others. Akachin, Midochin, Minechin, Kisechin... Pretty much everyone except Sachin. Kurochin was here a while too, but he wasn't here long. Something about the... Chroma production or whatever for him wasn't right, so he had to go back to sleep for a while. Or something like that. [He doesn't seem too concerned about it though.]
So it's about time you showed up, Murochin.
no subject
[Himuro does appreciate that Murasakibara can get him caught up with everything. Well, it looked like there were many people here with them than he thought. Part of him wondered if Kagami's name was gonna pop up when it didn't. He's relieved that he's safe back home, though now he wouldn't stop thinking about Kagami worrying about him too. Then again if Kuroko went home that meant that Kagami would be fine.
Murasakibara can invade his diet questions, but it's only delaying the inevitable.]
Looks like it was my turn, Atsushi.
[Himuro sighed softly as he looked up at the sky. It looked the same, but he knew it wasn't. He wondered what could have brought them all here. Why were they taken to this place? Himuro got a couple of questions asked, though now it made more questions appear in their place. He definitely has more to learn about this place.]
So, do you know about these moonblessings? What are those about?
no subject
He pokes the bag as it floats past, sending it spinning away again in the water.]
Mm... Yeah. There are three of them, for each moon. Everyone has a connection with one of them, and when that moon's in the sky weird things happen to the people connected to them. Animal ears or tails, or even weirder. I saw someone with hair that was tentacles once...
I don't remember what mine is supposed to be. But I know you have to do that moonlacing stuff a lot because the chroma burns faster...Or something like that. [Or maybe that's just for him being Cordis and all. Oh well]
no subject
What's moonlacing? Is that something that happens when those moons appear?
no subject
And you use that stuff to buy things. It's really easy to get a lot of it and just buy whatever you want. [He looks suddenly quite pleased with himself] I bought almost a whole cart of donuts once.
no subject
Murasakibara looked so pleased that he got that cart of donuts. Of course, that means it's time for Himuro to ask that question.]
A whole cart of donuts? It's a good thing I came when I did. How have you been eating since you've been here?
[You knew it was coming Murasakibara.]
I
Though, his attention is immediately grabbed by Himuro's presence, his brows raising slightly in surprise. A familiar face isn't something he had been expecting, but it's equal parts concerning, as well as comforting. At least I'm not alone here. )
Ah. I didn't expect to see anyone from home here.
no subject
Me neither, it's good to see that you're made it here safely.
[Himuro wondered how Kagami would fare without him and Kuroko there to help him, but with Kuroko gone someone needed to be there with his team. Himuro had faith that Kagami would be able to go along with his day and manage everything without much problem.]
Has anyone told you about this place? I learned a little bit about it from the rabbits, but I wasn't able to ask too many questions before they led me here.
sorry this took so long askjdghjasdg i got sick last week and then super busy..
Either way, Himuro is at least not the worst find he could've had. He doesn't know much about him, but he was nagging Murasakibara into good behavior at Kuroko's birthday, so he isn't all bad. He stares him down quietly for a couple of moments. ]
As well as can be expected after being away from home for three months. You've just arrived, I assume?
it's alright! i've been busy too!
Yes it was quite the bumpy ride getting here, but we managed to land safely. How is it like here?
welcome back then /o/
It's strange.
[ Embarrassing for Midorima, to be certain. He doesn't handle it well. ]
If you don't mind the touch of others, you'll thrive. It's a much more physical culture than Japan.
^^
Hmm, well, I don't mind too much, but it would be something to get used to. Are there many people that look like the rabbits who helped us?
no subject
[ As if it wasn't obvious. Midorima's got tanuki ears during Cordis after all, and a big bushy tail underneath the water.. ]
no subject
How do they appear? Do you get them after we get to the city? Do they last long or do they wear off and disappear?
no subject
Everyone from another world is "moonblessed" by a different moon. It means that we're capable of generating energy called chroma, but also that we take on attributes of the moon's representative animals. The moon in the sky right now is Cordis moon, but there are two other moons as well. The rabbits appear under the Iris moon, which will start on the 11th this month. Many moonblessed don't exhibit features the first few weeks after they arrive here, so you may not get yours until next month.
Re: Tatsuya Himuro | Kuroko no Basuke
Just like school! [But she's smiling in spite of picking some stray shards from her ponytail.] Well like a really weird exchange program. I'm Luna and thankfully tipped off about the chance of roomies. [But the open herb and creature journals offer tiny clues since she's new and all.] The trip was wild right? Could have done without the glass however. [meaning the crystals]
