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.

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!

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.
The next day, the rabbits can be seen hacking away at some of the wilder-looking plants for an easier pathway.

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.

Wh-whoa! [At the same time, the turbulence throws off his balance. He can't think fast enough even if he wants too! And so the collision does occur! He stumbles back a few steps, but he manages to keep himself from actually falling over. At the same time, he raises his arms to brace her in order to keep her from falling over.]
Sorry pal!! [He exclaims, embarrassed.]
no subject
Which isn't much, instead she's going to correct him on one thing.]
It's Lapis, not pal.
[And while this is happening... A new jellyfish has happily glommed onto Lapis' head. Good job every one!]
no subject
Lapis huh? Sorry about that, pal! [What did she just say. And then his attention is quickly drawn to the jellyfish that's clasped onto her head.]
O-oh no!! We gotta get that off! [But how? His hands are full at the moment, and he doesn't want to drop the blue lady... so he leans forward and just tries to bonk his forehead against the creature!]
no subject
It's fine it's not doing anythi-- [That's a very audible bonk sound for when Gumshoe's and Lapis' heads collide, the jellyfish just using the attempt to remove it to cling onto Lapis' head even harder.
Which, either the clinging or the bonk, gets an "ouch" out of her.]
no subject
Ouch! That really smarts. Sorry about that, pal! This jellyfish is even craftier than I thought. We might need a new plan!!
no subject
I've had worse and... I got it.
[Jellyfish are mostly water, yeah? So with one hand she makes a few gestures. The first she spreads her fingers out and Gumshoe will see the jellyfishes tentacles end up flailing out off of Lapis' head, and the second is she flicks her hand back in a dismissive move sending said jellyfish flying away.
And into a fire.]
no subject
Whoa!! You really do got that, pal! That guy's gonna be fried jelly now! H-how do you do it?
no subject
[And controlling water is kind of a Lapis Lazuli's thing.
Also that isn't an answer, but she feels it is.]
no subject
[He doesn't know too much about jellyfish, but that checks out.
He expects her to go on with the explanation, but then she proceeds to... not. He gives a confused blink.]
...And...?
no subject
[She felt that was enough! Why is he questioning her? Also pardon her, she's going to just... flick a bit of water at the same fire she had flung the jellyfish at because it hasn't exactly gone out completely.]
no subject
You know, the rest of it!! How do you... do what you do with all this water-y stuff, pal?!
no subject
[STILL NOT A REAL ANSWER, Lapis.]
no subject
[And now another jellyfish is zooming straight for his face!]
no subject
[Oh no! Jellyfish! Cutting herself short, Lapis is just going to quickly grab Gumshoe by his arm and with a strength that one wouldn't expect from a person her size pulls him towards herself and hopefully out of the way of the incoming jellyfish.]
no subject
Thanks for the save, pal. That sure was something! ...Were you saying that there's more than one of you? Are you a clone?? Is that why you're blue??? [You can't just ask people why they're blue.]
no subject
Also, don't mind the darker blue tint to her cheeks, it's totally not a blush. Really.]
Well, more Lapis lazulis yes. But they're not all like me, and I'm blue because I just am? [SO MANY QUESTIONS, GUMSHOE.]
no subject
Oh. [He blinks as he tries to process that.] So there's more of you, but they're also not you. I... I guess I'll just have to take that, pal. [In some way, it has to make sense.]
no subject
And Lapis is just going to, let go of Gumshoe's hand, so that the soo not blushing can stop.
It's not, stopping.]I can um, explain later if you'd like? [And she's just going to... fling a bit of liquid, looks like a glass of juice someone left at a fire.] When we're not on a burning ship.
no subject
Good point, pal! For now, we've got more pressing matters to deal with! [He looks around to try to figure out his next move.] You seem to have a lot covered with your whole, uh, watery thing. Anything I can do to help?
no subject
[Just going to absently fling another jellyfish into a fire, while she tries to quickly think of something.]
You're just a human, so um. It might be best if you got somewhere safer?
[All Lapis knows is humans are delicate, and easily harmed so she totally believes this is the best answer.]
no subject
W-wait, what do you mean just a human?? Sure I'm not magical or anything, but I can still help!! I promise! [Determine to prove himself, he rushes forward and tries to grab another jellyfish with his bare hands! ...Which results in the jellyfish clinging to both of his hands.] ...Oh jeez.
no subject
You're going to get hurt! Here. [She's not going to touch the jellyfish, instead using her hydrokinesis to try and pull it off Gumshoe.
... She may pull a bit too hard and well. The jellyfish is going to end up torn in half.]
... Oops.
no subject
U-um... thanks, pal. [He then frowns and just shakes his head.] Aw, who am I kidding? I'm straight-up useless!
no subject
And you're not completely useless, you helped me earlier?
[That counts for something in her book.] You can help the other humans stay safe and all that kind of junk.
no subject
Yeah! I did help ya, didn't I... [He braces his fists, determined.]
Y'know, that's not a bad idea at all! You got things handled, but there's gotta be others who need my help. Thanks, pal. ...Lapis! [He adds her name as an amendment.
And then he salutes her.]
I'll do my best! You can count on me!!
