▶ 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.

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.

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.

You'd be surprised how many people think what I am is pretty useless. [ that's not even a joke. ] Why were you hiding anyway?
1/2
[And that's why he's chaotic evil.]
no subject
no subject
I doubt it was for nothing.
[ someone like yan qing, he doesn't seem like the type to do anything for no reason, but maybe ye xiu is being too presumptuous. ]
Maybe you'll remember one day. [ wishful thinking? ]
no subject
Ye Xiu's optimistic remark cheers him up a bit, at least.]
That's the plan! I'm gonna remember everything that happened to me.
[Hmm... He twists around so he isn't trapping Ye Xiu's anymore, his feet now up on the couch as he sits cross-legged. Every action has a reason — there is a method to the man's madness, after all — so Yan Qing wants to give Ye Xiu some space to move because he has another activity in mind.]
Oh yeah! I found some games around here. Maybe you can teach me how to play 'em!
no subject
and now that he isn't a lap pillow, things are even better. ]
Sure, I can do that, but it also depends on what kind of games you want to play.
[ contrary to belief he doesn't play them all....... only most of them. ]
no subject
Um... Oh, I wanna try this one! [He takes a case and nearly shoves it at Ye Xiu's face.] It's called King of Brawlers. It's a fighting game! I wanna fight!
[His enthusiasm falters toward the end. Maybe that's too forward. It's not like him to impose.]
But I'm okay with playing whatever you wanna play. I see Okki play from dusk 'til dawn, so I dunno if it's a waste of time or not, but... [A brighter smile makes its way back on his face.] I just wanna play with you since you like games so much.
[Learning about the people from what's become of his homeland — he could simply call that a hero's job. But in the end, his reasons are more personal.]
no subject
yan qing's enthusiasm is appreciated; if anything, it balances out how ye xiu is pretty easygoing so at least there's no judgment there. he reaches for the case that was all but shoved at his face, but it's mostly to get a better (not-too-close) look. ]
I wouldn't mind playing this one. It looks fun.
[ fighting games are kind of his thing anyway... ]
Some people would say it's a waste of time but it doesn't matter what they think at the end of the day. If you want to play, then just play. I'll try to go easy on you. [ heh. ]
If not this one, then I guess I can try to get you into mobage.
[ he already got arjuna, of all people, playing gacha games so...?! ]
1/2
no subject
I lost every single round...
no subject
You almost won a few of them! It was close. [ it wasn't close at all. ] Do you want to keep playing?
no subject
Hell yeah! I might look like a quitter, but I'm a pretty plucky guy. Let's play again! I'll kick your ass!
[Maybe not when Yan Qing just keeps running at him and mashing the same two buttons... To his credit, Yan Qing also chose the panda character only because it looked cute, strong, and funny. He has no idea how to play this game.]
no subject
[ ye xiu's been playing whatever character the rng gods select for him because he's set it to randomized. for the current round, he's also the same panda bear character - except the alternative skin just turns it into a normal grizzly bear. the same two buttons yan qing has been mashing are actually part of a stronger combo, one that ye xiu (flawlessly) executes. ]
—here, if you follow up with this combo, you can do the same thing.
[ before he does it again, he makes sure his bear is a few steps back so the attack doesn't really hit anything but there goes his character performing the moves anyway. ]
no subject
[Yan Qing watches how Ye Xiu inputs the commands, playing close attention to the sequence. It's not too different from learning a new move or a song, he thinks. He picks up quickly, entering the same combo after seeing it once. The tail end of the combo grazes against Ye Xiu's character, though.]
Like this? Oh, sorry. [he says during a fight???? Ye Xiu's being nice and Yan Qing's in learning mode, okay.]
no subject
Yeah. Just like that. If you keep doing it, maybe you'll beat me this time.
[ he'll still dodge and parry as he has been but it's his character that'll get KO'd eventually. ]
no subject
[He would be sweet right back, but he's like, playfully jabbing at Ye Xiu in real life with his elbow. All is well until a mysterious message appears on the screen...
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER]
Oh? Hahaha, who's this tough guy?
[It's not an NPC in the game...]
no subject
the message on the screen sends question marks all over. you can practically see them populating the rest of his brain. ]
Huh? Did you break the game somehow?
[ what wild adventure are they about to embark on this time? ]
no subject
[The screen loads, and the challenger is none other than... a small, stout skeleton with a gun. Beside him is a taller, goofier skeleton. But don't tell him that; you'll hurt his feelings.]
Hahaha, who are these guys? I don't remember seeing 'em on the box.
what is undertale doing in smash
[ well. either way, ye xiu doesn't look too worried. he manages to keep a straight face when the skeleton with a gun starts talking about what a beautiful day it is outside, how the birds are singing, etcetera. it's almost like a setup for an epic boss fight.
it even has the music and everything included. ]
Uh... [ currently, his own character happens to be a cute dog wearing a suit. she looks ferocious and ready to rumble. ] This doesn't seem normal.
[ the arena is different. the way they're going to fight isn't conventional either. why are there suddenly puzzles? hello? ]
no one fucking knows but that's why it's so glorious
Ahahaha, nice battle music! I have no idea what's going on!!
[ Neither does anyone writing this, but hey. The round is starting, and all Yan Qing is doing is jumping up and down because it's fun. Well, that and nudging Ye Xiu with his elbow again. ]
What's the plan, boss?
ofc he's the wii fit trainer
[ this is basically the perfect case of the blind leading the blind, probably. ye xiu doesn't know what's going on so they'll probably have equal chances of succeeding.
probably.
there are lazers to dodge. hearts to keep intact. the two skellie NPCs?? keep talking back and forth, almost like they're arguing. contemplating what to do with these killers - who are most definitely terrifying, in that cuteass puppy suit and yoga outfit.
after a while - ]
I might actually die.
[ just all casual and everything. ]
