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.

[He doesn't even really get a moment to properly answer that before the other kisses his hand, the gesture catching him a little by surprise. But he recovers quickly enough, knowing that Rei is possibly trying to purposefully illicit some sort of reaction.

Maybe he had been paying more attention than he let on, or he's simply jumping to a logical conclusion. Neither would be surprising, really.]


That's corRECT. Fortunately there does not seem to be too much insistence on anything too extREME, but the locals are clearly very comfortable with all levels of physical relatIONS.

[Logical conclusion, actually. So lucky for Natsume, Rei has caught on fairly quickly.]

And to think, you had to educate me on this. What a turn of events for us Sakasaki-kun.


[His dearest kouhai. Favorite kouhai, probably. He's going to grab his other hand now.]

And you have been settling here well enough?
spellspeak: (Witch)

[personal profile] spellspeak 2019-09-09 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well this is the very least I can do for YOU, although it's so inconsequential that it hardly merits mentionING.

[Perhaps Natsume shouldn't be too surprised by Rei taking his other hand given how affectionate the other Oddballs tend to try and be with him. He considers chiding him but decides against it, relief over Rei arriving and the pleasant tingling of moonlacing winning out over his tsundere side. For now.]

It was unpleasant for a time because I was more or less only here with those from fine as compANY, but I was able to avoid them without too much TROUBLE. Instead I spend that time focusing on my studies and have since managed to acquire a business of my OWN. It's nothing too impresSIVE, but it should allow for me to have a more stable source of income and the ability to do as I please if I play my cards effectiVELY.

Only fine, huh? That must have been rough for you, Sakasaki-kun.

[He shouldn't say "no fear, the lid of hell has opened in Prismatica"....but. That's what tends to happen when Rei shows his face places. Even now, he can't help but praise Natsume a little. Dealing with fine as company, getting his own business. He frees one of his hands to pat Natsume on the shoulder.]

What kind of business is it?
spellspeak: (Crystal ball)

[personal profile] spellspeak 2019-09-09 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
[When Rei pats his shoulder he can't help but grin a little, looking between their joined hands and the other's face.]

It feels as though we're performing a secret handshake or ritUAL, doesn't IT?

[It's a little childish to think that maybe, but he chuckles softly at the idea before answering the question properly.]

I use my alchemical knowledge to create products that enhance one's LIFE, such as potions to help with mood and enerGY. [And moonlacing.] I also offer my services as a fortune tellER.
oldboned: (pic#13442170)

sorry for disappearing!! long work week rip

[personal profile] oldboned 2019-09-14 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Does that explanation of it make the most sense to you? Then sure, of course, this is our little ritual.

[Because Rei, of course, would never mind spending time or moonlacing with Natsume. They were never on bad terms. But on the inside, he's glad Natsume has been able to take care of himself. Business and all. It makes him feel just a little better about being literally the last oddball to get here.]

So, Sakasaki-kun. Think you can give this old man his fortune?
spellspeak: (Crystal ball)

it happens! ;w; Also sorry that Natsume got his monologuing powers from Rei

[personal profile] spellspeak 2019-09-14 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's simply one way to interpret IT. [And it helps a little. Being able to equate moonlacing to magic and ritual makes it less awkward for him. He's never been the best at getting close to people, and while he wanted to adjust and integrate in order to be successful he had still struggled. Mostly because of his pride and the fact that reaching out for help was still difficult.

At the request he looks surprised for a moment before smiling.]


You've never made such a reQUEST, but of course I wouldn't refUSE.

[Really it's a bit of an honor for any of his senpais to come to him for such a thing. Honestly he doesn't feel as though he's in any place to give any of them advice, though. And he doesn't have his crystal ball on hand, but he does turn Rei's hand over in his to rest his other on top of it while closing his eyes.]

Hmm ♫ This place will be a trial for you, one that can make or break many relationships if only because you might find yourself stretched thin. You'll have the opportunity to branch out and tie new threads of fate together with those around you, but if you aren't careful you might allow others to slip from your grasp. You will need to find balance, but I have no doubt that with your charisma and many skills you will be able to manage.

HE IS SO PROUD

[personal profile] oldboned 2019-09-17 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[At the very least, Rei would be able to check in with him more often. Has Natsume ever wanted Rei-niisan to keep a watchful eye on him? No? Yes? Well, no matter the answer. With this many fine crawling around he would be a little extra watchful.

What better time than the present for a little bit of advice though?
]

You sound like you are telling me that I have a lot of work ahead of me.

[Not that he minds, Rei has always been a man of charisma. A man to solve problems for others. No rest for the weary.]
spellspeak: (Happiness)

[personal profile] spellspeak 2019-09-17 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Natsume takes his hand off Rei's, nodding.]

You DO, but you shouldn't hesitate to ask for help if you need IT. It's difficult to move towards the future aLONE.
oldboned: (pic#13442158)

[personal profile] oldboned 2019-09-17 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I've figured it out.

[Rei, ever the unpredictable uses his free hand to trace fingertips along Natsume's jaw, and to hook under his chin. Bringing them eye to eye.]

Finally, your senpai will have to rely on you.
spellspeak: (Sheepish)

[personal profile] spellspeak 2019-09-17 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[While Natsume is certainly no stranger to being flirtatious and using his own charm to his advantage, even he is caught a little off-guard by the sensuous touch. He blinks for a beat before a little red creeps into his cheeks, although he refuses to let his moment of sheepishness spur him into looking away.

Instead he takes it as a test of sorts, straightening his posture a little.]


You make that sound almost accusaTORY, as if I planned IT.
