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.

[Her heels clack on the floor as she follows after him, long legs sliding past long slits in her dress to do so. She smiles, pleased to be getting this opportunity and she steps into his place without hesitation.

To find it looking remarkably cluttered with all of the things it has. Perhaps even a little messy too. A man who isn't bothered by a mess? Be still her heart! Oh certainly there were some things she didn't understand the appeal of but for the most part? She's rather comfortable here.

(Manuela hates cleaning. Wait until she settles in somewhere and you see her place.)]


You've settled in here very nicely.

[Don't mind her as she intentionally bends over in a way that shows off her lovely backside to look at something. Well, to "look" at something honestly. She's definitely doing the action to show off her...assets.]
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed flirt)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-10 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, Greed’s certainly looking. Probably doing more looking than she is, right at this moment.]

[If Greed had the Devil’s Nest or somewhere else bigger, with room to spread out, he might bother to make it look a little bit nicer (and the Devil’s Nest was required to keep up a certain - not too high but still there - standard of cleanliness to continue getting customers) but, if he has to choose between neatness and stuff, stuff wins out every time.]


Yeah. I already feel at home here.

[Sure, he misses the Devil’s Nest but... Prismatica’s a nice place, with a currency system he likes a lot, and it’s definitely far better than the fate that the moons saved him from when they brought him here.]

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-10 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Rising back up, she turns to face him again. This is proving to be a very nice day after all. An improvement over the boat situation for certain. That had been a travesty.]

Would you like to offer a lady a drink? I don't see why we can't get comfortable for a bit.

[There she goes again. But that's just her nature really.]
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed flirt 4)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-10 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
‘Course I would, doll.

[And before he goes to get it, he asks:]

Red or white wine?

[‘Cause he has both, and she’s both his guest and a lady.]
searchingforlove: (pic#13435205)

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-10 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't suppose yes is an option...

[Oh. And on top of everything? She's a lush.]

No, that might be pushing it too far...
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed flirting 3)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-10 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed grins.]

[Oh, she’s his type of woman alright.]


Yes is always an option.

[So he gets out a bottle of white and a bottle of red - table wines, since he goes for quantity and not quality - and two glasses.]

[Then, he sets them down and sits down.]


So, which one would you like to have first?
searchingforlove: (pic#13435200)

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-10 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He's alright with messes and he's okay with her wanting both kinds of wine? A man after her own heart! Manuela is more than happy to come sit with him. She should probably be bothered by it being table wine but honestly...she's not.]

Why don't you surprise me, handsome? I can't say I'm too picky when it comes to alcohol so long as it's in my hand and mine.

[She remembers saying that once and a man dumping her on the spot. The brute. (Don't get her wrong. She's all for a brute. Just don't tell her how to drink her alcohol!)]
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed friendly)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-10 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed closes his eyes, and grabs a wine. And then, when he opens his eyes, he sees it’s the red wine. So he pours them each a glass of the red wine, and hands her hers.]

I’m the same way.

As long as it’s in my hand and mine, I’m happy.

[And Greed’s that way about far more things than just alcohol.]

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-10 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Blind picking. She likes it. Taking her glass, she has herself a sip and then another right after. Wine is delicious okay?]

Well aren't you just living up to your name. Is there anything that isn't yours yet?
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed smug plus some us)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-11 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed sips from his own glass.]

Plenty of things.

But they’ll all be mine, one day, I’m sure of it.

[Realistically, that probably won’t happen but... Greed still believes that it will, somehow, someday. That one day, he’ll have everything.]
searchingforlove: (pic#13435200)

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-11 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
My how ambitious of you.

[She doesn't see it realistically happening but you know everyone should have a goal of some kind. As long as he isn't actively harming someone then who is she to judge?]

That's quite a bit of work for you then.
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed casual)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-11 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed nods.]

Yeah, it is.

But I can manage it.

[Though he’s barely made a start on it, here in Prismatica. He hasn’t even started up the Devil’s Nest up again.]

[Hasn’t even considered doing that, though he does miss the place.]

[‘Cause, though Greed is too unaware of his own feelings to realize it, he does feel like he can’t just replace the old Devil’s Nest and his people there that easily. And like, if he tried, it just wouldn’t be as good, wouldn’t be the same.]
searchingforlove: (pic#13435193)

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-12 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Where will you begin then? This is a different place from where you were pulled from, I'm sure.

[His aesthetic is so much darker than what she's seen around here anyway. So she thinks it could be a fair assumption at least.]

Ambition needs a starting place, after all.
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed pointy smile)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed frowns.]

[He had not actually thought much about that.]

[Sure, he has ambition but he’s found that it’s easy for him to get distracted from it by the sheer variety of stuff available here, and by how easy Prismatica makes it for him just to coast by without doing much.]

[But he comes up with answer quickly anyway, and says it so confidently that it seems like he’d had it planned forever:]


By getting the Devil’s Nest started back up again, of course.
searchingforlove: (pic#13435205)

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-12 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
The Devil's Nest? What is that?

[An establishment? An organization? It certainly has a sinister tone to it and yet somehow she has this feeling that isn't what it really is. Which makes it quite interesting actually. What sort of thing has this man been running before arriving here?

Apparently it means a great deal to him if it's the first thing he thinks of. At least that's her opinion.]
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed pointy smile)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-12 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed grins.]

It’s a bar.

And a gang. Though it doesn’t seem like I need a gang here so... I might only go with the bar part, this time.

[Greed doesn’t want to end up in the Lightless, after all.]
searchingforlove: (xcuz3ikO)

[personal profile] searchingforlove 2019-09-13 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
A gang? [She laughs.] My, what a brute you must be!

[She doesn't appear put off by that honestly. A gang is not necessarily a deal breaker...

Look, she has to keep her options open, okay? Times are hard for a lady getting up there in age no matter HOW amazing she looks.]


But if you set up a bar here I can assure you I'll be a regular customer.

[Has she been refilling her glass several times now? Uhhhh yes. She loves her alcohol.]
nosuchthingasnosuchthing: (greed pointy smile)

[personal profile] nosuchthingasnosuchthing 2019-09-13 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Greed grins, pleased by Manuela saying that she’ll be a regular customer. So, he decides to entirely ignore the brute comment, since he’s not totally sure what he thinks of being called one, and just reply:]

Oh, I can tell.

[Greed’s definitely been noticing how much wine she’s been drinking. And it’s making him glad that he bought a lot of it.]

So, what do you plan on doing, now that you’re on this planet?
