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.

no subject
I cannot thank you enough, kind sir. We'd best make our way to—ah! Your leg!
[ Said leg is currently knee-deep in jellyfish of myriad color and size. Ophilia wastes no time in bobbing down to pry the little suckers off, but for all her concern, she doesn't seem to notice the looming cloud of jellyfish waiting to pounce behind her... ]
no subject
A-aw jeez. Get 'em off, get 'em off!! [But as she gets to work, he looks up and sees more jellyfish descending upon her back!]
Oh no! Leave this to me, pal! [With that, while she's dealing with his leg, he just bends around her to start trying to pull them off of her back. Like some bizarre game of Twister, they're quickly becoming the oddest sights on this shuttle!]
no subject
I'm... trying...! [ But between Gumshoe's constant moving and the sheer number of jellyfish, she has a hard time getting anything done. She wagers he's having much the same problem. ] How are you faring? Much better than I am, one would hope. I cannot seem to rid you of these... awful creatures...!
no subject
Me, I'm... I'm trying! But they're all over...! Just... hang in there, okay?! We're gonna make it! [He tries yanking some more off of her back and resorts to trying to punch some of them away!]
no subject
... or so she hopes. The ones that have taken to both of their arms are making it very difficult, though. ]
I do not wish you alarm you, sir, but... [ But there are jellyfish everywhere, and the longer they spend trying to pick themselves free, the more jellies seem to pile up. They need a plan B—stat. ] Is there no where we can escort the other passengers in the meantime? I'm not so sure this is working.
no subject
But it... it has to work! Sure, it's probably safe for the passengers over on the opposite side of the ship, but we can't escort anyone while we're covered in these guys, pal! [A beat, and he sighs.] Plus... I'm not sure I can even move my legs at all right now! [The number of jellyfish on him is... a bit much.]
no subject
The dangerous glint in Ophilia's eyes says it all: she's come up with a new solution. Does she have the Chroma for it? Probably not. Is that going to stop her? ]
Allow me, then. Be ready to close your eyes!
[ Absolutely not! ]
no subject
Wait. What's going on, pal? [Does she have a new plan in mind? He's ready to close his eyes if need be at least, but he doesn't know what to prepare for!]
no subject
[ ... is all the warning Gumshoe gets before she throws both of her jellyfish-impaired arms into the air, heralding a brilliant pillar of light. It doesn't do much in the way of getting rid of them, but that doesn't seem to be Ophilia's intention. As if repulsed by the beam, the jellyfish immediately let go of the two of them and jerk away. It's working!
For now, anyway. Ophilia can't say how long it'll be before the jellyfish have their wits about them again, but she's not looking to find out. Woozy, she wobbles up to her feet and steadies herself with her staff. ]
We haven't much time. Are you still able to walk?
no subject
That was incredible, pal! You're magical!! ...Um, but yeah. Now that those things're gone, I feel like I can walk again! [But he gives a concerned look towards her, seeing how she's holding onto her staff.] ...What about you, pal?
no subject
I appreciate your concern, but I'm quite alright. Shall we?
[ To demonstrate, she stands as tall as she can, then takes a tentative step forward. Good—her left foot hits the ground perfectly fine. But her right foot...
... does not. The world tilts, and it isn't until Ophilia hits the ground that she realizes her legs have given out underneath her. ]
no subject
Whoa, pal!! That doesn't seem alright at all! [He rushes over to her side and leans over.] Hang on, I'll help you...! [With that, he'll attempt to reach his arms under her to lift her off the ground!]
no subject
Goodness! I... I don't know what came over me. [ For the record, this has never happened before. She's used to being able to sling spells willy-nilly and without consequence, so she's no less surprised than he is. ] I owe you a great many thanks, now, don't I?
[ Now, if he'll let her down nice and slow, she'll stop imposing and hobble her way over to the slightly less dangerous end of the cabin, where they can hopefully both take cover until the worst of it passes. ]
no subject
[He'll gently set her back down on her feet, as long as it looks like she isn't about to keel over again. He will still offer an arm to hold onto for support as they head to safety!]
no subject
Oh, but I insist! You came to my aid despite never having been asked, and for that, I am ever in your debt. Would that everybody else were as kind as you!
[ Slowly but surely, they make it to a decidedly less jellyfish-infested part of the ship. She spots a suitable resting place and plops down on the ground, but not before flashing her savior a smile. ]
Now, who might I have the pleasure of thanking this day?
no subject
Aw shucks. I'm just doing my best help, just like you, pal! The name's Dick Gumshoe.
no subject
[ To commemorate their disastrous, slimy and all-around terrible meeting, she offers up her hand. ]
I am Sister Ophilia, a cleric in service of the Order. It is a most wonderful pleasure to meet you!
no subject
[His eyes widen as she introduces herself.]
Whoa! Is that like being a nun? Anyway... pleased to meet ya too, Sister! [He'll clasp her hand and give a hearty handshake!]
