▶ 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.
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.

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.

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.

Eggs and toast would be wonderful. [ yukiko takes a seat at yosuke's table, buzzing with excitement. ] Everything looks so nice. Did you decorate everything by yourself?
[ the moonblessed stuff can wait. tell her what it's like to do your own laundry, yosuke. ]
no subject
Ahah, thanks. People seem to be surprised I can keep a clean home, although I have my lazy days. [He said over the stove, letting it cook for the moment as he pulled out some juice and placed another piece of break in the toaster.] Yeah, I did. They make it pretty easy, to be honest.
[He pointed to a panel on the wall.]
It can change colors of some things, changes some of the cabinets to tables and stuff. I don’t think it can change the whole apartment but furnishing is a bit easier than you’d expect. Just don’t touch it right now please while I’m cooking.
[He knows your curiosity Yukiko, keep your hands to yourself for a few minutes.]
I dunno how it is in the normal houses though, you’ll have to ask Souji and Chie for that. Naoto and Kanji are on my floor and down the hall. Rise is staying with Souji and Chie too.
no subject
hearing each of her friends' names has her smiling by the end of his rundown. ]
It's relieving that we all managed to find one another. I was a little worried about being here on my own.... Still, I'm surprised you aren't staying with Souji-kun. You've been a team for so long that it feels natural for you to be roommates.
no subject
Ah... eheh... it's... kinda complicated.
[That just made it sound so much worse and he winced to himself as he finally shut the stove off and pulled the toast from the toaster. He slid the egg onto the piece of bread and walked over the plates. He made another trip for the glasses of juice.]
That didn't come out right. Nothing's wrong or anything. Souji and Chie are kind of an item right now and are uh... [Sips some juice, stalling stalling...] really intimate with each other.
[Nailed it.]
no subject
yukiko snickers into her juice before taking a sip. what a silly idea. ]
Well, of course, they're intimate. We all are, Yosuke-kun.
[ phrasing. ]
no subject
Instead, he groaned and placed his cheek on his hand, resting his elbow on the table.]
Trust me, we are all not intimate. [Just say it, Hanamura!] They're dating, Yukiko and... having s-
[God, why was this so awkward?! Probably because he felt like he was going to be blamed for this. Somehow. Deep breath.]
They're having sex. A lot of it. And they're loud.
[Too much information, Hanamura!! He covered his face with his hands and groaned.]
Shit, sorry, I didn't mean to say all that!
no subject
[ oh.
something inside yukiko feels as if it's breaking, but she isn't sure what or why that would be the case. this was happy news. chie finally found someone who made her special. she deserved that much. both she and souji did. and chie had done it all on her own.
without her. ]
You're okay. I--appreciate you telling me. [ her smile is weak, if you want to call it a smile at all. ]
no subject
You appreciate it but...?
[Something was being left unsaid here.]
no subject
I didn't realize everything was so complicated.
no subject
[He knew it wasn’t the same for him. He wasn’t the one crushing on Souji and even if he had, he knew the guy’s preferences and it was better to leave well enough alone. But he also knew that practically rvery girl in their group was crushing on Souji, even Naoto for a little there. She had Kanji now though so it was just... Chie, Yukiko, and Rise.
Hang in there, partner.]
This place kinda... brings that outta you, to be honest. It... the whole moonblessing thing? It can have some weird effects on you, depending on which moon you’re aligned to. So a lot of... feelings you had kind of become... easier to act on? It all varies though so.
[He really needed to go into detail like he did Rise and what Kanji had done for him but now didn’t seem like the time. Not yet, anyway.]
Rise is... doing okay about it, though. She’s... working through it, I think.
no subject
Souji-kun and Chie are working through it too, aren't they? [ she states that more as a fact than a question. ] All of them are so strong, but there's only so much you can take before things just...get out of control. [ she thinks of a dark castle with high walls and shivers despite the comfortable temperature in yosuke's apartment. ]
no subject
It's just... [His knees bounces a bit restless.] It's weird that the moons do this, I guess. And it doesn't effect people the same? And now, apparently your moonblessing can change from one to another. So it's a lot to take in and it's like... puberty times eleven, I guess? Sometimes?
[He shakes his head with a sigh.]
Sorry, I'm not explaining this very well. I don't want to make it sound like you're totally gonna start have sex with people because that isn't always the case. There's people here who are perfectly fine not doing that at all or just keep to whoever they're with and then there's others who are like... dating multiple people and everyone involved is okay with it.
[He wouldn't tell her that that's what Souji was doing, as that was for Souji to tell. Or Chie, as she's one of his partners.]
no subject
I think I understand. Like you said, as long as everyone is okay with what's going on, that works best. It's just that it may take time to find out exactly what that is, even without the moons.
[ yukiko picks up a piece of toast and takes a bite to give herself a moment to think.
then she excitedly takes another bite. and another. oh, man. ]
Yosuke-kun, this is amazing! How did you get the eggs from being runny? I still have so much trouble with cooking them all the way through....
no subject
[Kanji and Yosuke were the more extreme cases these days, it terms of physical changes.
He finally dug into his own, using a fork to cut into the toast and egg yolk, letting it soak into the bread. He gave her a surprised look at her enthusiasm though.]
Uh... I just cooked them long enough? It's one of the easier things to learn, I could show you? I mean, it's not really that good or fancy...
[This one still couldn't take a compliment.]
no subject
[ one, take the compliment, yoosk. two, she sounds genuinely impressed that he can cook something as simple as eggs and toast. ]
no subject
[He didn’t really want to remind her she’d be without her family. Suddenly being on your own is tough.]
no subject
I'd love that. Even if there's no school, there's no reason we can't stay productive.
no subject
Yeah. Got myself a job as a waiter because I felt like I had too much time on my hands. Never thought I'd say that, y'know?
[But it wasn't as easy to just... hang out sometimes. Especially with the moons and there was only so long he could sit at home playing games and music. Besides, getting extra cash never hurt.]
