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.

[ Juno jolts back and gasps at the audacity of this woman to be wearing the same kind of sweater out in public, holding the clothes hanger with the sweater closer to herself. Even with the shirt underneath it was still an odd design by her world's standards. The tentacle hair was strange and a little jarring. She doesn't even know what race this person is because of that. So many question marks float above her head. This world is truly strange... ]

I... I see that now.

[ Can she just go back to war now? ]

Are you wearing it right now to attract mates, then? What point is there to call this a maiden's sweater?!
im_gonna_heal_u: (don't let it get to me)

[personal profile] im_gonna_heal_u 2019-09-13 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The awkwardness in Juno's voice is a little infectious, because Konoka pauses when she realized that Juno was not just a random Moonblessed, but a person who was very, very removed from modern fashion.

Oops.
]

Uh, not right now...? I was trying it on to see how it looks on me. Some people seem to rock this look a lot better than others, so I wanted to make sure that it didn't make my body look like, a disaster or something.

[ She bets Juno thinks it's a disaster. ]

How do you think it looks on me?
arken: (Small chance of success?)

[personal profile] arken 2019-09-14 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Juno just raises an eyebrow, slowly lowering the sweater while focusing on Konoka and how the apparel looks on her. She doesn't think it's a disaster or anything, but it was just very strange for someone who grew up in a world like her own. ]

Uhm, I feel unqualified to make an assumption. Everything in this world is strange and new to me. It looks nice? If your goal is to look enticing, then it's the perfect apparel for the task!

[ Juno puts her hands up, waving in defense and chuckling nervously with the sweater still in the clothes hanger in her hand ]

I'm sorry, this is too much culture for me to absorb in such a short time! I just arrived to this country... or planet, as it stands.

[ She finally puts the sweater away ]

I'm Juno. Pleased to meet you!
im_gonna_heal_u: (the gift of gab)

[personal profile] im_gonna_heal_u 2019-09-14 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[ Well, Juno's more rational than she thought, and she was holding it together pretty well for someone running straight against sheer culture shock.

She'd be a great friend!
]

Thanks! I was a little worried. I wondered if I had enough figure to fill it out.

Anyway, I'm Konoka! Pleased to meet you! [ She bowed politely. ] A lot of this place is pretty much trendy stuff, though there are a few more "ordinary" wares around.
arken: (I could do that.)

[personal profile] arken 2019-09-14 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Humans are skinny creatures, generally. Which tends to make them good endurance runners. So she doesn't know the proper standard of how "full" one's figure need to be. The bow was also a new gesture. But Juno didn't mind it at all, and just smiles ]

That's a relief! I hoped to just replace this uniform of mine until I can wash it, but I don't know what I can afford with the Chroma they gave me.

[ Juno looks down on her uniform, which was as clean as it could get for a worn out uniform. The colors have faded on some parts and there's scuff marks on the fabric if one looks closer. She looks back up, putting her hands together in front of her and stands on her toes with an excited giggle. ]

Do you have any recommendations, Konoka?

[ She beams, tilting her head as she pronounces Konoka's name properly. ]
im_gonna_heal_u: (i got nothing)

[personal profile] im_gonna_heal_u 2019-09-14 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You want something close to your uniform?

[ That was a bit of a challenge, but not impossible. ]

I'm not entirely sure if this store in particular has what you need, but it can't hurt to look. Hope you like neon colors, since that's popular everywhere.

What we need is... [ Konoka takes a close up look at Juno. Not quite 'personal space invasive' but the upper limits of acceptable. ] Maybe something resembling an academy uniform.

[ She took Juno's hand to lead her to where she saw something resembling regular blouses, or at least the kind that would look good with a formal skirt and tie. ]
arken: (What are we waiting for?)

[personal profile] arken 2019-09-16 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ She did notice the popularity of neon colors. Her first instinct that it was tacky, but she grew indifferent towards it after a short while. Bright colored things don't show often in a depressing world like Juno's. ]

It doesn't have to be close to my uniform. I just need new clothes, generally speaking!

[ She chuckles, letting Konoka take her hand as she follows with no resistance. ]

But I do like a nice skirt or a dress!

[ If she's gonna be here for a while, she figures to might as well indulge. ]
im_gonna_heal_u: (the gift of gab)

[personal profile] im_gonna_heal_u 2019-09-16 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)

Alright!

[ They didn't need to walk long before they encountered more regular clothes--for certain values of regular. There were long skirts that had 'windows' that showed off the legs, jackets with bright, sewn patterns, frilly skirts, and t-shirts with darker but notable space themes. The neon in all of those was pretty strong.

Konoka had plenty of 'tame' stuff at home, though she did eye the 'window dress' for herself. ]

Maybe these look better? What's your size?

arken: (Small chance of success?)

[personal profile] arken 2019-09-21 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Juno's hand naturally lets go of Konoka's once they stopped walking, using them to run her fingers on these new stange fabrics that are not yet a reality in her world. Juno looks at Konoka upon hearing that question, then looking down at her own clothes with her hands touching her waists ]

Hmmm... I don't know, actually. I just left the measuring to my superiors back home.

[ She sticks her tongue out and tilts her head apologetically. After a moment, she takes that same window dress that Konoka has been eyeing, holding the garment in both her hands with a bright grin forming on her face ]

Now that we're here, then there is only one way to find out!
im_gonna_heal_u: (the gift of gab)

[personal profile] im_gonna_heal_u 2019-09-22 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[ She thought Juno would be a bit more reluctant to try on most things, but her changed interest once she looked at the dress was noted. Her newfound enthusiasm was infectious. ]

Great! Let's get to a changing room!

[ There were a few not too far from where they were. While the brunette would normally not jump in with others, Konoka was too used to being close together with others and was thinking more along the lines of how to measure the silver-haired woman. Konoka didn't have any measuring implements, so she'd have to guess.

She had her own version of the dress.
]

Let's try these, then?
