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.

Mm. I usually use them to attack and defend myself, but right now I just want them to befriend these little guys.
[ sure enough, the chinchillas have warmed up to the paper critters with much chattering among themselves, causing osakabehime to giggle to herself. her princess mode would be even more effective here, wouldn't it? since it'd be easier to pull off the cutesy act towards a stranger as opposed to, well, most of her acquaintances back at chaldea. ]
Ah, but you felt it too, right? I may not look like it right now, but I'm a kitsune! ♡ [ she's beaming from ear to ear, a far cry from her usual gloominess. ] Hehe, you're pretty lucky to encounter a princess like me in the wild like this.
no subject
I see. Then, allow me to introduce myself properly. [ he sits down by her in a graceful movement, folds his legs up underneath him in seiza and places his hands on his knees. ] My name is Tomoe, your highness. Although my master is absent here, I am the shinshi of Mikage shrine.
[ he says it in such a plain, humble way, but it's highly unusual for a god to take a youkai as their shinshi, especially a wild fox like Tomoe. most have divine familiars created just for the duty. the other shinshi look down on him for it even when the gods sing his praises, so for Tomoe, it's a point of pride. ]
no subject
she stands up a little too quickly, dusting off her dress. she can keep up this mode, no problem! ]
O-Osakabehime, Assassin. The lord of Himeji castle, and a Servant of Chaldea. It's been too long since I laid eyes on a shinshi, to be honest. I'm not exactly updated on how stuff like that works anymore.
[ since... you know, she barely went outside in life. but she'd know what a shinshi is, and it is rather odd for this absent shrinemaster to take on a youkai for that position instead. color her intrigued. ]
Either way, it's soo~o nice to meet you! ♡ Though it's too bad you're without your master as well, since Macchan's left this princess all alone in this world... [ and it's making her paranoid as all heck. luckily, chatting up with a similar kin would put her at ease for now. ]
no subject
it's also strange to see her here. he understands, in a way that a human wouldn't, what it means for her to have been removed from Himeji Castle. that isn't just her home. it's a place she belongs to as much as a god to their shrine, and from what he's heard, she never leaves it. it isn't in her nature. how uncouth, to separate a shinshi from his god and a deity from her domain. ]
I should certainly consider myself lucky to meet the reclusive lady of Himeji Castle. [ he dips his head in a small bow. ] You have my sympathies, being taken away from your home like this. Although — I can't say I've ever heard of... Chaldea?
[ and she has a master??? what?????? ]
1/2
as for that bit about chaldea... well. she can't help but laugh nervously. ]
Fufu. ♪ It's a super long story, but let's just say that this princess is offering her service to assist this organization in saving the world's history from falling into itself! We may have all the time in the world for me to explain it even further to you since we're both youkai and all, but...
no subject
I-I'm really not used to being out for this long, you know?! I badly want to shut myself in, but I don't know where to go from here...!
[ honestly she's a little relieved that tomoe knows of her, even if she doesn't recognize him (though she may have heard of a mikage shrine in kyoto, come to think of it - she just didn't know much about it due to her reclusive lifestyle). because she's can just start whining about that here without being judged. probably.
legendary she may be, it doesn't mean that her habits should be tolerated. ]
no subject
still— ]
I know how you feel, Princess. But no matter how unpleasant the situation, you'll have to adapt. [ it's stern, though not cruel. he's not going to scold someone of higher status than him, and it's not his business besides. ] Although we aren't made for the human world, we don't have a choice right now.
[ he doesn't really get the "saving the world" thing she mentioned at all, but like she said. they have plenty of time for that. it's nice to speak to someone that doesn't hurry everything the way humans do. it's strange. back home, that someone is a fellow youkai wouldn't mean anything at all. he's usually surrounded by youkai and mononoke. just by being isolated here in this modern city that is so painfully meant for humans, it suddenly matters to have another youkai around.
Tomoe stands from his kneeling position with that same grace as before, brushing dirt from his elaborately flower-patterned kimono as he does so. ]
By the way, do you have much experience with humans? Your speech is surprisingly modern.
no subject
[ that would make sense for this incarnation of osakabehime, where she'd rather surround herself with fictional humans and fellow servants rather than their flesh-and-blood counterparts. obviously in life she wouldn't have had an idea how technology works, but - well. that's just how the holy grail works.
tomoe does have a point in having to adapt in a place that's more suited for, well, anyone else who aren't youkai, but that doesn't mean osakabehime won't take it lying down. she'll complain and vent out to the nearest person if she has to. ]
Mmm, this whole thing is still not fair, though. It's not like we wanted to be here, you know? I mean, you have some responsibilities back home too, I bet. [ sigh ] You probably don't have an idea what a computer or a smartphone is, do you? This world is too advanced for me, even though I'm from Chaldea in the first place.
no subject
I know of modern technology, but I wouldn't say I'm... experienced with it at all. What little I know is only because my master is a human girl. [ he sighs, too, and a little of his careful formality drops away as his irritation comes to the forefront. ] I have enough trouble keeping up with her life; I don't want anything to do with all these humans...
[ it just makes the situation so much worse that the people here are mostly humans. not that he would be happy about being kidnapped away from Nanami under any circumstances, but at least he'd be at ease with other ayakashi. he isn't supposed to be involved with humans. he doesn't want to be involved with them. just because he has Nanami now doesn't mean his feelings towards them have changed in any way.
struck by the absurdity of this all over again, Tomoe puts his hands over his face; his ears droop miserably and his tail goes lax. ]
Ugh. This is a nightmare.
