▶ 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.

Oh, that's... I think far more practical than that sweater. ["glow in the dark" is fine.] I think all of them are. [Now she has something to peruse more seriously.]
no subject
[ Konoka deftly hides her own sweater. Impractical sexy things are probably going to be relegated to prizes for Marie (or maybe Kairi too). ]
Anyway, there's dresses, off shoulder blouses, leggings with patterns on them... There's a lot here.
If you feel more comfortable in kimonos, I know where some are? I dunno if this store has 'em, though.
no subject
[Just... going to make sure she's not going to go on the other end of fashion for this whole place.]
no subject
[ She turned to her her new acquaintance. ]
For example, I wear a lot of off shoulder stuff next week because it's easier to deal with horns.
no subject
... Oh, does it happen to everyone? It can't, can it? [Now she's kind of worried about what she's going to turn up with.]
no subject
[ Konoka knew it would probably sound very odd to Ouse, but she explained away as best as she could regardless. ]
We transform and get moody depending on which moon grants us a blessing. Aaaand it's not always consistent from person to person either. Some people turn into wolves, others only get wolf ears, and it could reverse next month too.
For the record, I get deer ears and horns... and tentacle hair!
[ But Konoka has the tentacle hair right now. It just hasn't had much reason to move. ]
no subject
Oh, well, I guess clothes are more important at the moment.
no subject
[ Konoka tried to think of something she'd heard or seen to the contrary. ]
Yeah, so do you see anything else you like?
no subject
[What even is her size. What even is a size? She'll pick through some of the dresses until she finds ones that she likes - including ones that aren't exactly Christmas flavored, and... maybe guess on her size?] If they're all the same I should be able to get one of each of these...? [Literally, she has never gone shopping before. Not like this. Clothes just tended to be either made by yourself or made for you specifically where she comes from.]
no subject
[ It was dawning on Konoka that the kimono was so big that she... actually had no idea what Ouse's body type actually was. It was time to change tacks. ]
We won't find out by eyeballing things. Let's get to a dressing room and strip!
[ And thus, with absolutely zero heed to Ouse or whatever powers she might be hiding, Konoka pushed her to the dressing room, dresses in tow. ]
no subject
Hey, so, about that past-reading ability tied to physical contact.
She moves forward, trying to walk faster than the touch.]
I-... I can get that way on my own... please just point the way.
no subject
She wasn't the first person to be wary of being touched either--Konoka remembered Yuri--but Ouse didn't look visibly sick either (well, neither did Yuri)... ]
Are you contagious? You don't look sick, but... is there a magical power of sorts that's bad news if I touch it? [ It was a question that wasn't out the realm of possibility for Konoka, and not being on her home planet ironically made it safe for her to ask.
Regardless of whether or not Ouse feels like answering that though, she'd show her to the changing rooms. ]
[[And btw, I'm alright if Ouse winds up activating her bad memories at some point. Enjoy nearly drowning and watching your only friend at the time blame themselves for not rescuing you, or getting kidnapped, or watching your young teacher get skewered by stone...]]
no subject
Instead, she'd rather just... find the dressing rooms so she can figure out what to do with the dresses. So she does, and once she's at the door, she ah... stares at it for a moment, the at the dresses, and pauses for a moment before opening the door.] I... thank you for your help, in all of this. It's a bit... overwhelming, to be out here on my own.
no subject
[ That's strong. That's... stronger than even that one girl who worked for Fate. ]
I know that feeling. This same sort of... feeling isolated happened to me a few months back. I know how important it is to have friends to anchor you in a strange world like this.
[ But Konoka is also a touchy-feely person. Despite knowing better, her hands still consider reaching out, though they ultimately stay.
Instead, she considers: ]
What dress do you want to try on first?
