▶ 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.

okay the coat makes sense now. ]
I've missed you so much, you know that? [ she stows her evoker and dismisses orpheus, grabbing mitsuru's hand. i'm real, i'm here. ]
I know this has to be... [ she swallows. of course she knows, she's already gone through this with yukari. ] I'll explain everything once we're out of here, okay? Promise.
no subject
With a sort of smug satisfaction, she watches as the jellyfish are definitively speared by icicles like they're to be roasted and then fall to the ground to shatter. She's not a vindictive person, but sometimes those being executed should know to stay down where they belong.
At the way her hand is grabbed, she can't help but close her eyes despite the pounding of her heart and and smiling openly.]
I've missed you as well. [Her eyes fly open, taking in their surroundings.] But you're right that we can't let our guard down. We need to find out where they came from and what is going on around here.
no subject
[ she grips her hand a bit more firmly, before inclining her head to indicate the base. ]
It's not all on us this time.
no subject
I...I'm not used to leaving things half-finished.
[As Minako should know]
And I'm not certain that I can trust the authorities to react well enough. How did those... jellyfish start attacking anyway?
no subject
I don't know for sure... I only caught some of what happened. Maybe this kind of thing just happens sometimes, around here?
[ her tone is really uncertain, like it's just a guess she's tossing out. she's not opposed to following up later to try to find out more, but hey--right on cue, the moon knights are approaching. ]
And you're trying to talk business, because if you don't, you'll start thinking about how you're talking to a dead girl.
[ that one she sounds more certain of. she might be wrong, sure, but she doesn't think so. ]
no subject
That doesn't really raise my confidence about this world if that's true, Minako.
[That line though, it cuts Mitsuru to the quick and she has to take a deep breath as she tries to ignore the sharp pain in her chest.]
I...Maybe. Talking to the...dead isn't something that one does every day.
no subject
Sorry, that was a little... it was supposed to be a joke. Except not really, I guess...? [ she sighs, before hmmmming in thought, tapping her chin as she does so. ] I got here a few months ago. The last thing I remember is the roof. Graduation Day.
[ she laughs a little. ]
Guess I messed up the reunion back then, huh?
no subject
It was in poor taste. Much like Iori's jokes.
[Although, if anyone could joke about being dead, it would have to be Minako. Or Shinjirou. Who.... wasn't actually dead either.
At the mention of Graduation Day and the promise, red eyes close and she shoves her aviators up to cover a most of her face. She doesn't want her friend to see this.]
You're a little late, it's true, but you have a rather good excuse.
no subject
after everything they've been through, mitsuru kirijo isn't a hard book to read. ]
Mitsuru, hey... [ her voice softens and her brow creases, as she reaches up to try to rest a hand on her cheek. ] I'm here, okay? I'm not going anywhere.
no subject
And they both know it.
The hand on her cheek startles Mitsuru and she moves back as if burned.]
That's a bit difficult to really get used to in three minutes. I've spent two years trying to remember what I owe you without it ruling my life.
no subject
she almost deflates, her usual pep fading from her body language. ]
... You don't owe me anything, it's--it was never about that. But... you're right, that was a lot to just... Sorry. It isn't--it hasn't been as long, for me? I really can't imagine what this is like for you.
no subject
She can see the way that Minako slumps and shakes her head sadly.]
It's strange.
[And suddenly she feels all of the stress of her senior year of high school rushing back, two years later.]
It's as strange as anything else in my life, I suppose.
no subject
Hah, our lives never made any sense... why would they start now? You, me, Yukari, Aigis... Ryoji, too. That night bound so many of us together before we ever met. But I know this is weird. It's okay if it's too much, you know?
[ minako changes gears and starts walking again, managing to smile at her. ]
So... how have you been? Yukari caught me up on what she's been doing, and some of the Persona users from Inaba have talked about you, but... you haven't missed a step, Mitsuru. Keeping busy? Still asking cute girls to run away with you?
no subject
I've upgraded from my motorcycle to the limo and more robotic companions.
[She would have kept Metis as well, even as one of the Shadow Operatives, but... It's probably best that Metis is left where she is.]
Aigis has an older sister now.
no subject
That's amazing! I'd love to hear all about her. It's... good that Aigis has someone there for her.
[ she doesn't know for sure how much mitsuru knows of what she and aigis had shared, but she's not dumb enough to assume it never came up. or that their official leader hadn't noticed the change between the field leader and the android, in the final month before they confronted nyx. still, her voice softens a little. ]
How is she? I heard from Yukari that it was bad, really bad, at first, and that she got better, but...
[ minako glances away, not quite meeting mitsuru's eye. ]
Is Aigis happy?
no subject
I would be happy to tell you what I know about Labrys.
[Well, and the change in Minako's voice is so obvious that even Akihiko might notice it.]
Aigis is... she's learned the art of sarcasm. And I'm starting to regret that she has. I find that I am the frequent recipient of her new sense of humor. Of course, since I and Yamagishi spend the most amount of time with her, I suppose that's not so surprising.
As for her happiness, [she pauses and looks over the top of her aviators] she appears to be as happy as the rest of us. It's a daily change.
