"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!

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.

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.

Stalling? Well it's good to make sure you aren't going to run away, right?

[Yet another playful jab at Gentaro. Though if he wanted him to not stall all he had to do was ask.

Rotating his wrist he grabs onto the other man's as he gives him a tug and attempts to walk towards the bedroom. A laugh escaping.]

Really~? You think I don't know how to get clothes off of someone when I put them on people for a livin~?

Your designs stray far from the traditional.

( but theresa twist and stir of an honest smile. this banter is at least a bit more organic.

that, and it feels like ramuda is guiding him somewhere like normal. that he isn’t about to discover that fling posse’s phantom is a virgin by choice and has been blowing a lot of hot air.

he doesn’t stop following ramuda, though.

the touch feels admittedly warm, nice, and so what if he’s touch starved. )

I don’t have neighbors, as a side point.

Doesn't mean I don't have experience in them. It would be a shame not to study the traditional stuff.

[The conversation was a tad more lighthearted. Really there were few people he could go back and forth with like Gentaro.

That aside he was still leading the man to the bedroom. Even if he is about to make one hell of a discovery he was wondering if the other man will call uncle.]

Do you plan on being loud enough that they would be bothered if they were there?

[A playful tone. It was some information he will hold onto. So the apartment next door might be free after all. That would be great if it was.

Nearly skipping to the bedroom door he opens it and pulls the author inside. Once inside he shuts it and looks around the room.]

( for how absurd their relationship is, gentaro finds it a comfort in this mess of a world. even if he knows so little about the true intentions of this gremlin, he can’t quite say that’s a turn-off.

and it’s not like he hasn’t had people visit before. it’s not like people haven’t seen his bedroom back home, either.

so the closing of his door doesn’t bother him. just another bet, another upping of the ante. )

I was suggesting that, yes. ( his voice pitches a bit higher, feminine, and he bats his eyelashes. ) After all, I’m entrusting my first time to you. Please make it wonderful for the both of us.

( the great part of doing fake voices is you can tell the truth and not rouse suspicion. )

[The challenge was always welcome and Ramuda looked forward to it in a way with Gentaro.

The bedroom was very like the author, it didn't seem flashy or at least not more of Ramuda's style for his own place.

That new voice change was something and he felt like he suddenly has a maiden. A little weird.

Not about to back off he pushes the author towards the bed.]

Then we should make sure you never forget this.

[There was a drop to his tone of voice as he leans in. He wasn't going to stop and lose this match...nope.]

( he won’t forget this no matter the outcome.

playing with fire, having the least likely person teach him something he’s otherwise too proud to admit he’s lacking in. god, he needs a pen, he needs to bottle this all up and use it as inspiration for later.

gentaro laughs, airy, allowing the back of his knees to hit the bed. he doesn’t fall yet, doesn’t sit down or drop. instead, he lets a cold hand reach out and curl under his leader’s chin. )

You’re not actually going to do it. ( wow is he really trying to call him out right now???? )

[This was what happened when they were left to go at it too long.

Fire was taking over too much and the switch was close to being flipped for Ramuda. To a point he could stop if Gentaro calls this all off. He will take it as a win. That line was being toed though and his ability to not stop was there.

Then that flip is thrown with that challenge. He didn't think Gentaro would say that and the way he takes his chin. He wasn't going to stop now.]

Really?

[Tone close to his normal voice but not quite there. He grabs the man's face and presses lips to his. Gentaro pushed a little too hard.]

( appar-e-fucking-ly.

gentaro goes stiff, the kiss catching him off guard. he’s not so much of a masochist to never have allowed someone to kiss him before — it helps to have a pretty face and a nice line of romance novellas.

kissing isn’t his favorite, none of this ever seemed to be, but perhaps because it had all been painfully scripted before this.

this is dangerous, unprecedented, meaningless.

he almost likes it that way. )

Brat. ( is what he calls him, voice edging on something real as he clutches down at ramuda’s shoulder, grip tight, and presses his mouth hard back against his. )

[Don't poke the gremlin.

That surprise behind his lips earns an internal chuckle. So the author really thought he wouldn't do something like this? He was in for a lot of surprises now.

Kissing wasn't bad, most women like it, and he could get into it but it was more of a means to an end. Still he wanted to see what Gentaro had.

He doubts the man never kissed anyone here.

The comment earns a cocky hum before he pushes back, tongue already licking the seam of his lips. All the while his hands move from his face to grab his waist, urging him back a little more to the bed until gravity does the job for him.]

( frankly, the tongue part of kissing isn’t his favorite. it feels a bit odd, unnatural. but he doesn’t ever push it, rail against it.

the realization that he may actually sleep with his leader, a man he knows nothing about, is equal parts thrilling as it is absurd.

if he’s doing down on this ship, so is ramuda, because this is a shared shame.

he tangles a hand up into ramuda’s hair, aiming to make it hurt, lips parting if only because he wants what naturally comes next. )

[The tongue was where the fun could be for the leader. At least it could lead to some interesting faces on people.

This was going down and there seemed to be little to stop it now. They would have something they didn't really needed to tell Dice in the long run.

Hands in his hair he dug his nails into the other man's sides when the yank came and they went tumbling to the bed. There was a grunt from Ramuda as he pushed himself between Gentaro's legs.]

Didn't take you for a hair puller, Gentaro?

[Hands moved from his hips to start to undo his hakama, if he can get that gone then he he can open the rest with ease.]

( they are absolutely not telling dice about this. ever.

gentaro feels the hand at the knot of his hakama and he knows he’s lost. he won’t admit it aloud, but it’s so far gone in this noxious situation.

and no, he didn’t know he was a hair puller either.

he moves his hand down to assist with the more difficult parts of the knot, realizing that if he’s in this now, it’s going to be the death of him and it might as well be worth the journey. )

You’re lighter than I imagined. ( because he can’t just not be a dick during this. )

[Never.

It wasn't hard to figure out these kinds of clothes. They might not be as easy as modern clothes to put on but he did know they weren't hard to get off.

Ramuda could feel a small throb on his head from the yank. Keeping it to himself it did excite him a little.

Hands tugging at the knot he smiles at Gentaro when he decides to help. Seems like neither was about to give anymore. Once it's undo he pulls on the fabric then moving back to take his own jacket off and undoing the ribbon on his neck.]

Am I? Guess that isn't too much of a surprise is it? [He knows he has a small frame and build.]

I suppose not.

( it’s not surprising at all.

gentaro’s hands move on auto-pilot, gliding up to the buttons of the other man’s dress shirt that’s now freed from his pastel jacket. undoing buttons is easy. this is automatic, near routine. nothing unnerving.

he cranes up to drag lips and then teeth imprecisely along ramuda’s throat. )

But I doubt that keeps you from ever getting what you want?

Looks like I surprised Gentaro a little, that's rare.

[Chuckling he finished with the ribbon and pendent. It was an easy enough thing to discard right now but what was nice was Gentaro ensuring he was topless. Humming under his breath he pulls open the authors tops, fingers running over the top under it all. That will have to come off soon.

He tilts his head to allow Gentaro more access as he presses his hip against him.]

Rarely...you should know that looks can be deceiving.

Are you going to bite me or kiss my neck, I wonder?

( why does he keep talking?

gentaro sighs out through his nose, fingers catching on the last of ramuda’s buttons. he can’t believe he’s going off the deep end with such an infuriating person.

... but at least he knows it’ll be no strings attached and harmless; isn’t that what he’s always wanted?

he tips his head back and chuckles, gaze meeting ramuda’s. )

Where exactly, Ramuda?

[The more of a rise he can get out of Gentaro the better.

This was going to be no strings attached fun, as far as Ramuda was concerned. There didn't need to be any greater meaning to it. They were fooling around and, supposedly, earning money.

Tugging his last button free he slips his shirt off, his hands then grabbing the bottom of Gentaro's raising the fabric up his torso.]

Oh, maybe my neck but guess you haven't done that either?

[Ramuda pressed his lips to his neck at the same time his fingers found and pinched the other man's nipples.

Let's dial this up some.]

What a pitiful but pure image you must have of me.

( how dare you call him out as the shameless virgin he is. blasphemy.

he’s oversensitive and he knows it likely shows, from the way his breath catches when ramuda’s lips make contact with his neck, how his back arches when there’s attention paid to his nipple.

he adjusts so he can bend a knee and wedge it up between ramuda’s. turnaround is fairplay, right? )

Prove me wrong, Gentaro.

[Another challenge he decided to focus more on actions now.

Those soft kisses soon turn to a sharp bite as he tests just how much he can handle. His fingers rolling those buds between them, he would take his clothes off completely soon enough but he rather get him hot and bothered first.

The knee was a bold move. Not holding back the groan he responded by starting to suck on the skin of his neck. He wasn't leaving this without at least one hickey.]

( he doesn't respond to that clear bait.

none of this is rocket science. at least, not the parts they've progressed through so far. for now, he can feign nonchalance and experience, his knee pressing up firmer.

the pain of the bite isn't that bad; honestly, it's almost nice, a sort of tether to reality to keep his mind from slipping away into other thoughts. )

Convenient I wear such high collars, hm?

( a tease, and mostly just a confirmation that he isn't going to parade around the fact that they hooked up and that is merely convenience. )

Edited 2019-09-18 19:21 (UTC)

[Certainly bait. Ramuda wanted to test how long it might be until he took even the lowest hanging bait.

Knee against him he can't say it didn't feel good right now but he would never say that out loud. For now those hands move to grab the top as he pulls it high. Mouth leaving his neck for the moment.]

Oh right, so no one will see these. What a shame!

[Ramuda leans back and look at the author with a smile.]

Sit up so we can get this off~

( much like ramuda, he isn't very keen on taking bait when he clearly knows it's being dangled in front of him. whether or not that'll change when hormones and instinct take over, well, who knows.

now, though, gentaro is wordlessly obeying, craning forward so he can assist in shucking the rest of his shirt off. it only gets caught on his hair once and the chilliness of his apartment reminds him that he's not quite used to wearing so little in front of anyone. even if it's more traditional layers, to be partly naked isn't the norm.

but he doesn't focus on that, instead letting a hand roam down the center of ramuda's chest, down to his waist, fingertips ghosting over the waistband. )

[Any small break in the usual face that Gentaro wears would be fun to see. He wanted to see the other come undone...even if it's just a little.

As long as they are both topless the leader was happy. He wanted to look him over and find just where to touch to earn some kind of noise from the other man. Once the top is off he tosses it to the side. Hands then toying with the open hakama, these really were easy to be rid of when needed.

Eyes nearly gleaming he pushes into the fingers with a smirk.]

Do you want them off?

[Asking he leaned down to bite at the others earlobe. For the moment he wasn't going as wild as he could instead he wanted to see how far he can push.]

( does he? this is bordering on things he hasn't quite done before and if they go much further, the memory that ramuda was the one to make this stride will forever be a fact. ... but it's not like it matters much, not like it's sentimental, so he simply shrugs, eyes darting back up to his leader, messy brown hair covering part of his gaze. )

Are you offering to take them off?

( he's not going to say at all what he means or wants. that's not how this game goes.

but his hand does dip lower, over the front of his leader's pants, palm pressing like his knee had earlier. )

[There was never a straight answer with the two of them. It was like a dance around conversation that might seem pointless to people outside of it. For them though it was all part of this cat and mouse game. Which was what role? That was the true question. Once more he laughs as he starts to undo his belt and button on his pants.]

I could be, since Gentaro keeps touching what's in them.

[A lick of his lips he then switches gears as he yanks at the other man's bottoms. Two can play at this touching game.]
