"Blue Oyster Cult - Shooting Shark" (Watch on YouTube)

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!

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.

A. Prismatic Jellyfish

[ Since finding herself on a completely different planet than the one she expected to be on - and waking up on one at all, for that matter - Natasha had been doing pretty well at taking most things in stride, surprisingly enough. Then again, she's in another dimension, in space, and definitely not as dead as she expected to be, so after all that, she could afford to not sweat so many of the small things.

Space jellyfish eating their way through the outer hull of their spaceship, however, was a little concerning. Especially when those same jellyfish started latching onto anything tech in the near vicinity. And... was that one going for that person's face?

Launching herself into motion, she dashes to try and interfere before the stranger becomes a new kind of abyssal horror or maybe just a tentacle-controlled zombie or something. That seems likely, right? ]

B. Obligatory Hot Springs Episode

[ After surviving the rest of the flight and then the welcoming party of hostile seals, Natasha might be looking a little worse for wear. Not to mention she'd been a little banged up before arriving, as well. When their rabbit hosts offer up their hot springs for some relaxation, she's one of the ones eager to take them up on it. That honestly sounds like heaven right about now.

So she's wandering along the path with a rabbit guide, joking with him and very politely turning down the third offer for company in the baths, because he seems to have taken a shine to her? Or her hair, she's not sure which, but either way, as she steps into the clearing that holds the hot springs, she's already looking around for a convenient escape so she can evade her host without somehow offending him. And his very healthy virility, apparently.

Help? ]

C. Not-So-Prissy Polyp

[ Since she'd arrived here with literally only the clothes on her back, Natasha's happy to accept the apology compensation for the bumpy arrival trip and head out to find something a little more comfortable and not quite so end-of-the-world chic. Although the fashions offered here are... different to say the least.

She feels like she just stepped into an 80's MTV music video, honestly, especially with all the bright colors and wild shapes and even glow-in-the-dark options. Rather useless in her typical line of work, but amusing as she browses through the options all the same.

But at the same time, her gaze is also constantly watching her surroundings and those who wander in and out of the shop. Looking for someone, maybe? Or perhaps just a habit of noting everyone and everything surrounding her. She certainly looks far more watchful and alert about that than most in the store, not letting herself get completely distracted by the products for sale here, even when that's what she's here for.

But if nothing - or perhaps no one - is holding her attention, she's probably plucking off some of the wilder clothing items off the rack and eyeing them with amusement. Not something she would normally wear, but worth the bemused smirk playing along her lips all the same. There's truly some wild fashions here.... ]

[ Her armour suits her fine. Brunnhilde doesn't like to have too many clothes, and very little here is even functional in the way of keeping a sword, two daggers, and the cape — the last being its own category of importance. She breezes into the shop with the air of confidence of someone who could very well take out a weapon up her sleeve and stab whoever she liked — which she won't do, she actually doesn't mind the attendants here too much. They know to leave her alone. ]

[ She makes a note of the others here, but no orbit, nothing friendly, until her hand rests on the rack and Natasha's have brushed the jacket she's looking at. ]

You weren't interested, were you?

[ The question is casual. The slight cant of her head is, too, but the gaze is intent. ]

[ One eyebrow arches slowly as her gaze turns to take in the woman across from her, slow and curious, before her lips quirk upwards. ]

And if I was?

[ Her tone is mild, but playful. Seeming to offer an invitation to banter without giving much of anything else away. ]

[ Kinship with her sisters, the banter of camaraderie is a thing she's forgotten. It comes back to her like a knife in the heart. She smiles, without a trace of it showing on her face. ]

And are you?
