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.

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.

Maybe, just maybe, he'll share with Jin Ling.Jingyi tucks the radish under one arm and puts his hands together, returning the bow, polite smile on his face. ]
I'm Lan Jingyi. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well, Madam Konoha. You mentioned a farmstead. Perhaps one day I'll bring my friend to come visit?
no subject
[She says his name right after to try and cement the unfamiliar pronunciation in her brain. It sounds sort of like Master Shen's full name, but... he'd said he came from a land with many people in it, so surely they didn't know each other just because their names were similar...]
Oh, yes! Please do!
[He reminds her of what her actual goal had been coming to the market this morning, and she can't help but laugh a bit wryly at herself.]
Gosh, I'm bad at this advertising thing, but... we're between two of the Prismal farms just down the road here for a while, then on the left... I put up a sign up with jinba on it so people could find it!
[Thankfully there weren't any other centaurs she knew of to confuse them with?]
Your friend is here? How lucky for you!
[Maybe bad, to be taken from their world in the first place, but. At least they weren't alone, like she had been for months and months until recently.]
no subject
He looks in the direction where Konoha indicates, taking note of the location roughly. Whatever "jinba" is, he's sure it's a sign that Konoha will put up later. ]
I don't know about lucky, because he's stuck here as I am. Though it's certainly better than being alone.
[ Jingyi is definitely happy about it, as shown on his face. There are a few others from his home world as well, but Sizhui takes a special spot. Jin Ling too, actually, if Jingyi takes that into consideration. ]
Excuse me for asking, but what is a "jinba"? [ It is best if Konoha explains to help clarify. ]
no subject
It was nice to have someone there to help them through it. Right? Right.]
Oh- Sorry! I still sometimes forget what I have to explain...
[Konoha points at herself, smiling.]
I'm a jinba. Some people call us "centaurs", but in my world that's what we say.
no subject
For the time being, Jingyi wouldn't mind being friends of Konoha, be her newly minted acquaintance as he nods at her explanation of what a jinba is. ]
Half horse and half human, eh? If I didn't know you're such a lovely and kind lady, I might have thought you a strange monster. [ Jingyi, no. Don't be rude. But his straightforward and blunt words are not meant to be insulting. He's just stating his view, and then realises just how bad it sound out of his mouth. ]
Ah, I'm sorry. I don't meant anything bad about it. It's just that I've never seen someone like you before.
no subject
I kind of think of myself as "all jinba", really.
[Maybe that will do.]
But I know it must be strange if your world only has humans... A lot seem to!
no subject
[ Jingyi know that sometimes his choice of words leave much room to improve, and he truly hadn't mean to make Konoha feel uncomfortable. Especially a married jinba! How disrespectful he is! Once he heads back to the inn, he's going to personally copy his sect rules again. Self-punishment. Yup. ]
You'll be surprised to know that we don't only have humans in my world. [ He grins a tad, looking enthusiastic. ] There's ghost, and evil spirits, and walking corpses. Even fierce corpse! Uh, they are a much more powerful variant.
no subject
[And she did mean it, really! She's been offended by a lot more callous of men, and someone even called her a horse once!]
Do... do you get haunted by the ghosts? Not everyone becomes a walking corpse, do they? After wars there would be so many-
no subject
For those questions, Jingyi answers to the best of his capabilities. ]
There are places that are haunted by ghosts, or objects possessed by spirits. Not everyone turns into walking corpses, though there is always the chance that they could turn. Most remain as they have unfulfilled wishes or desires, which more often than not can be resolved. [ And here he pauses. ] But some are imbued with resentful energies and become very dangerous. Worst still, they could be manipulated by unscrupulous people for evil.
[ Although Jingyi knows that it always isn't true. Wei Wuxian practices demonic cultivation, and while the senior's method is unorthodox, his intentions are righteous and without malice. Jingyi hopes he hasn't lay such a heavy topic on Konoha. ]
no subject
[Sure it’s a heavy topic, but if that’s the truth of his world... Konoha will do her best to handle it like she always does. At least, she would... but her attention is suddenly snatched away by something behind Jingyi. A look will reveal that it’s a male of her species, much larger and carrying a heavier basket load, beckoning from afar.
Oops, she’d fallen behind talking-]
I’m sorry, Master Lan, I have to catch up... but, we’ll see you at the farm sometime?
no subject
Jingyi glances back when he noticed Konoha's gaze shifting, his eyes widening at the size of the male jinba. He's huge! Either way, he turns back and puts his hands together, bowing slightly once more in parting. ]
I've held you back for too long. And yes, I'll visit the farm someday. [ Likely bringing his friends along. ] Good day, Madam Konoha. Thank you again for your turnip. [ With that, Jingyi part ways with Konoha, the large turnip in his arms. ]
