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.

[ Wow, that little laugh was kind of cute, and he's definitely somewhat distracted by her tail now. There are a lot of people with animal features out and about so he can't say he's very surprised, but it's interesting to look at up close. This girl's pretty cute. His grip on her hand closes, but he's careful not to squeeze too tight. ]

Guess not everyone got the rough welcome, huh? We crash-landed in some weird place, and those things were everywhere.

[ They came for him in particular because he's still healing from a huge injury he got back home, so almost all of his chroma was spent just keeping himself alive. ]
betheirstrength: (bad taste in my mouth)

[personal profile] betheirstrength 2019-09-08 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She's extremely cute, thanks for noticing. Also she smells like springtime, right now. If Josuke breathes too deeply he's going to get a noseful of pheromones.

Rise gasps and lifts her free hand to her face, ears flattening down against her head.]


That's so scary! It was smooth sailing when I came here. Is everyone okay?
nipzips: (and i've had it with this game)

[personal profile] nipzips 2019-09-08 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's definitely something strange in the air. His sense of smell has never been particularly sensitive, but Josuke can pick up a sweet scent, like flowers. It's putting him in a bit of a good mood, like he's feeling relaxed and slightly giddy. Maybe it's her -- it's probably her. She smells really nice, and it entices him to take a step closer. Slowly, he can feel the chroma flowing into him from where their hands are joined, tingling pleasantly at this skin. All things considered, it sucks that he can't use his Stand as freely now, but earning money from doing this isn't such a bad deal. ]

For the most part, yeah ... I don't think anyone lost their lives. I went around and healed whoever I could just to make sure.

-- And that's kinda why I'm in this situation now. [ How he lost all his Chroma, pretty much. He overused his Stand. ]
betheirstrength: (excuse me wtf)

[personal profile] betheirstrength 2019-09-08 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Rise isn't sure why, either, but she feels a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when he steps in closer. She rubs her thumb over his knuckles as she listens, basking in the moonlacing.]

Aww, look at you mister hero medic! I'm glad you wanted to heal folks but you can't just run yourself into the ground doing that!

[Look at her lecturing this titan of a teenager.]
nipzips: (well sometimes i use this one)

[personal profile] nipzips 2019-09-08 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is nice? Something's definitely weird about this place. He doesn't hold hands with girls very often back home (if ever), but he's certain it shouldn't feel as pleasant as whatever's going on here. ]

Huh?! [ He didn't expect to get lectured. ] Uhh, guess you're right, but it's kinda hard for me to just walk away when I see someone hurt ...

[ It's one of the values he lives by. There's no reason for people around him to die when there's something he can do about it. There's a sigh as he concedes, because what she's saying makes sense too. ] I'll probably need to figure this out at some point.

[ Otherwise he's going to keep depleting his Chroma and ending up in this same situation. ]
betheirstrength: (not a funny joke)

[personal profile] betheirstrength 2019-09-09 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a hazard of being the support member on the team. She has to watch her friends risk their lives and pull dangerous stunts, without being able to do anything but talk to them. She ends up a little fussy about it.]

I can't fault that, I guess. You're a good guy. Oh! I never got your name!

[She looks properly embarrassed about that.]

I'm Rise Kujikawa.
nipzips: (you cried for the moon)

[personal profile] nipzips 2019-09-09 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Josuke. Nice to meet you, Rise. [ She sounds like a very nice girl. He could use more friends now that he's new in town. ]

I was actually trying to go into that restaurant just now. Don't know how much Chroma we've made, but it's probably enough for a cappuccino. You wanna come with?

[ It probably beats standing around outside, and it'd be easier for them to talk. ]
betheirstrength: the idol industry is actually super fucked! (well you see..)

[personal profile] betheirstrength 2019-09-10 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rise can be nice, but she can also be a troll so watch out for the sass.]

Same to you! Welcome to town. [She giggles] It's not too bad once you get used to it.

Oohhh, of course! I can help you're still low. What kinda person would I be if I let a healer go hungry because he was too busy healing?
nipzips: (i don't need to try to explain)

this took so long im sorry

[personal profile] nipzips 2019-09-15 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn. You're pretty great. [ And that's said in English, because it's his stupid catchphrase. ] A real gem.

[ He really is quite impressed, because he's used to running into strange and crazy narcissists that he has to fight for one reason or another. Such is life when you're a main character in JJBA. Normal people who are nice? Those are the real rarity. At this point he's starting to consider the both of them friends (he's quick like that), so he's easing up. Josuke starts to make his way into the restaurant, tugging lightly at their joined hands. ]

You didn't seem surprised at all when I talked about that healing business, though ... You got some kinda power too? [ He's also wondering if she has a Stand!!!!! ]
betheirstrength: (idol and saleswoman)

NAH U GOOD

[personal profile] betheirstrength 2019-09-17 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rise will always accept compliments! She smiles and lets herself be tugged inside.

Plenty of people might call her a narcissist, but she really does care, under all of her vanity.]


Oh, yeah, magic isn't strange here, and I guess it kinda wasn't back home, either.

[They're sat at a cute little twoseater table and Rise orders a tea.]

Me and my friends from home, we have the power of persona. Usually it only works in the shadow world, but we can summon them everywhere, here. Some of them can heal!
nipzips: (hey bitch)

[personal profile] nipzips 2019-09-18 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ god theyre both vain they need to go shopping together

anyway

If Okuyasu saw him sitting across from a cute girl in a fancy restaurant, his best friend would probably start crying and yelling in jealousy. This totally looks like a date?? But Josuke's suppressing that thought to the back of his mind. He really just wants to make more friends, and she definitely seems like someone he can get along with. ]


Whoa, you've got one of those 'Persona' too? I met a girl who had one on the plane. [ He also thinks Personas are just Stands going by another name. ] Guess Stand-users really do attract each other.

Uh, what's this stuff about a shadow world, though? Sounds creepy.
betheirstrength: (not a funny joke)

[personal profile] betheirstrength 2019-09-23 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Absolutely. Fashion date is necessary.

Maybe it's a date, maybe it isn't, but it doesn't have to be ~that kind of date~ unless they decide so later. Rise is just being friendly.

She leads them both to a seat and waves down a server. ]


Oh you've met a persona user? What was her name?

[ At this rate Rise probably knows her. She knows all the persona users already on Lunatia, at least. ]

It's totally creepy. The world shadows live in, it's inside the TV, and it changes based on the thoughts and feelings of the people who's shadows are in it.
