"Blue Oyster Cult - Shooting Shark" (Watch on YouTube)

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!

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.

Iris. Canonpoint tentatively Mink route, before going to Oval Tower.

1. Survival

[Aoba knows he should feel surprised, waking up in a place like this, but somehow he doesn't have it in him to feel much of anything. Honestly, he'd started to doubt reality even before finding himself here, and how weird this place is... kind of makes him feel better, that way. At least everything looks as unreal as he feels about it.

He wonders, briefly, if he died; if Mink ended up killing him after all, by accident or design. Even that doesn't make him feel much of anything.

It takes time for him to collect himself and feel like an actual person again, and even then he's mostly going through the motions at first. He does get better about it, though, and interacting with people helps: nothing centers him as much as that, somehow.

It just figures that he's just barely feeling like himself again when the space ship everyone gets put on crashes. At least the intense fear he feels makes him decide that he probably isn't dead yet, after all - and if it makes him feel anything else, that's easy enough to ignore.]

2. F is for Fashion

[Even if he's apparently getting living space entirely for free, Aoba isn't sure he should be spending currency on clothing... and, for that matter: he's not sure how much the funds he has are worth. But it's hard to resist the call of clothes shopping, especially with such a huge discount. Even if he's not rich, the discount means it's now or never, right? This is a unique opportunity!

Before long, he finds a jacket he absolutely has to have - and that's only the beginning of his fitting room fun. The more he tries on the local couture, the more he gets a little carried away. Is that really something he could wear, though..? Regardless of the answer to that question, he's definitely not succeeding in getting the thing laced properly all by himself, struggling visibly in the fitting room with the curtain halfway open.

Help an Owbutt out?]

3. Wildcard

Hit me!

[ He's been searching the shopping district for an item nobody seems to have heard of: a "Liuli glass." That's the only way he knows how to call it, and whenever he tries to explain exactly what that is, the local vendors only seem interested in showing him what they're selling, which is usually a marital aid of some sort. No thanks!

So he's been looking on his own for this thing, which is how he comes to find himself inside this particular shop. Movement catches his eye, and he glances over to the half-open dressing room. His first impulse is to keep walking—but that's when his vision begins to dim. He knows exactly what's coming. And he's lived in this wretched place just long enough to know how to combat it.

This stranger has his hands busy struggling to get that strange laced item of clothing on, which suits his purposes just fine. He reaches for the stranger's shoulder. ]

Here, let me give you a hand with that!

[ But instead of being helpful, he leans in for a sudden kiss, on purpose to be the kind of deep, tongues-thrusting-for-dominance kind of kiss, that generates a decent amount of chroma in a hurry. ]

[Because of how he's been struggling with the corset, Aoba has, for the moment, clean forgotten that he meant to feel embarrassed about wearing it in the first place. He's not naked, either, which means there's no reason to feel dumb about leaving the curtain mostly open, probably.

Then again, there's always time for regrets later.]

Thank y-mmm!

[Of all the things Aoba was expecting, getting kissed wouldn't even have rated in the top 100. He wants to feel offended; he should push this guy away, so he grabs hold of his clothes to do just that.

Except that he kind of... forgets to. Honestly, it takes all his brainpower and effort just to make a vague attempt at keeping up with that kiss! But he's totally going to push the guy away. Absolutely. Aaaaany minute now...

Or not. His resistance melts away, the same way his body seems to, and a familiar spark of something dark flickers deep within as he surrenders completely, his shopping and everything else forgotten.]

[ He’s the scion of a noble family, son of a princess and a marquis, raised in the imperial palace, with elegant manners befitting a nobleman. This sort of abrupt, violent kiss isn’t his style at all, when it comes to lovemaking but... well. It’s an emergency measure, after all. He’ll just soak up enough chroma to heal his poisoned eyes temporarily and then he’ll make some excuse.

...

Well, that was the plan, anyway. The man’s response—not only not pushing him away but also responding to the kiss—it’s making his head swim. His eyes and ears recover, and the icy cold that penetrates through to his bones is swept away, like spring sunshine dispelling winter’s chill. Every part of him feels alive. The sensation is irresistible.

They’re in a little fitting room, so it’s easy enough to push the man against one of the walls and try to nudge a knee between his legs. His hands wander, clutching at the laces the man had needed help with before—but rather that helping him get them laced up, he’s desperate to get them undone. ]

[It may or may not be right, surrendering so easily like this, but the special thrill it gives him is sweet temptation to just keep going. Eventually he'll have to stop, probably, but for now the pull is just too strong, and what's wrong with kissing, anyway? It's hardly the worst thing that Aoba has done for pleasure.

Letting out a little moan as he's pushed against the wall, Aoba kisses back eagerly, something like electricity prickling at his skin as he grinds against that knee. He really does need to stop - either that, or plan ahead - but he feels too good.

Is it really okay that he can do this kind of thing with people other than Mink? No - that was his request from the start, wasn't it? It really is some part of him, after all...

Eventually he breaks the kiss to gasp for air, belatedly getting a better look at the guy kissing him. He should probably have more of an opinion on that, too, but it doesn't really matter, after all. He just stares through half-lidded eyes and grinds against that knee again, suddenly a little embarrassed that the other can see him doing it now, as if that unequivocally proves these weird urges of his.

Somehow, that is as exciting as it is horrifying.]

[ He's stone cold sober, but he feels that he's had much too much, all at once. And then the other breaks the kiss, panting, and the furious pleasure of chroma generation levels off, just enough for him to recover a few of his senses. He's been called shameless and improper many times before, but it's only an ordinary sort of shameless. He's one to pay attention to the mood, to timing, to place, "before the flowers and under the moon."

He's in a little dressing room with a stranger in a public place. It's more shameless than he can abide, killing his desire instantly. He springs away from the man. ]

Mmm...hahaha.

[ He laughs awkwardly, rubbing his nose. ]

I wanted to buy something here, but I was a little short on chroma. Ah—thanks!
