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.

Every mishap, every new friend, every battle all added up to the great adventure. And until the end, that path was amazing. Ace has things he can feel regret about in his life, sure. There were choices that he made that he wishes he hadn't. But overall, his life was amazing, and the fact that someone so worthless could go so far and do so much is still incredible to think about for Ace. He really did have a fantastic life. And people loved him, despite who he was.
"I can always go for another!" Ace blinks at Shar's name, and then laughs. "Well I'm Portgas D. Ace, the already dead one. Good to meet you."
no subject
The facts cannot be denied. Every adventure Shar had her fill and challenges. She loved them. The people she met along the way she grew attached and cared. "Excuse me while I fetch some more."
One thing about Shar is she made sure she had enough alcohol available. She picked herself up and brought back two more bottles from her pantry. The way Ace introduced himself, Shar shakes her head, giving up. "Here." She didn't question, gave him more alcohol instead.
no subject
Ace is actually getting pretty comfortable and happy. He's fed, he's got alcohol, and he's starting to think that this life after death is going to be fun after all. Especially when she brings him more booze, which he takes with a brilliant grin.
"So I guess I owe you more in the way of stories. I'm not that great at telling them, but I think I can dig up more for you. Wanna know about how I got my fire abilities?"
no subject
Maybe of her actual adventure than her world. Shar has plenty of stories to tell, which she thinks are boring because well... everyone's heard her tales back home and it doesn't come from her lips.
"Are you a mage mayhap?" She takes a moment, brushing her thumb under her lip to sweep any alcohol left behind and savor the taste. Well then, that explains how he free himself. "Sorry if I sound blunt but you don't seem to be the type."
no subject
Ace takes a nice long drink, and then gets himself comfortable for the talk. "So my world has a couple of different ways to kick ass and take names. Or not take 'em, if you don't care about that. So the first thing is just the different fighting styles that you can pick up. There's so many amazing ways to hit someone!" He's warming up so well, and he's slightly pink cheeked from the alcohol. It's a nice moment for Ace. "So the second way is Haki. It's this energy that you can use to do stuff, like make yourself stronger, or know your surroundings better, and there's other ways to use it too but that's not what this is about."
Ace grabs the rest of his fish and finally just eats the entire thing, on the bones, by lowering it into his mouth. Just like that. Gulp. "My favorite powers come from fruit."
no subject
Shar teases him. It will take Shar another bottle for her to feel more than a buzz from the alcohol. Right now it's a buzz. Will she need to bring out another bottle? Shar has no issues with sharing since producing Chroma here isn't difficult.
"Did you ate that poor fish like a whale?" Why isn't she surprised or stunned? Instead she laughs. Congrats Ace, your friend is very chill about this (like a Nico Robin). "For your sake, I hope it didn't get stuck on the way down."
"Aye, from my shard, an adventurer can pick up as many classes and jobs, change whenever they felt the whim to do so. My job comes from a soul stone." She plucks one out from her pocket, a pure red crescent stone with an axe engraved. "This stone is the soul of a warrior, not only I carry the axe weapon but as well the inner beast within. Though... Tis interesting, a power dwelling in a fruit."
no subject
'Nah, it didn't get stuck! I've eaten way bigger stuff anyway." Ace can shove horrific, frightening amounts of food in obscene sizes down his throat. He's nearly like a snake in that aspect, and most people don't find it very appealing. It's something that's not unique to him though, his brother is worse, and people from his world in general eat like starving monsters.
"So you can get hired by a stone?" Ace doesn't quite get the job thing, and his mind is a bit boggled. The talk of fruits will have to wait.
no subject
"Tis doesn't work as that!" Oh Nhaama, help her. "Mayhap a little demonstration is better to explain." But first, she probably should check to make sure the table didn't hit him hard, or at all.
no subject
"Well then tell me!" Ace helps himself to more to drink, and any other fish within reach. This is serious stuff, and he's excited.
no subject
"Jobs don't hire us, we accept them." She holds the stone close to her, laying it on her chest, glowing brightly red. "This soul is of a warrior I accept." In a flash, Shar's attire is changed from her normal outgoing clothes to armor.
no subject
Ace eyes widen in amazement, and then he grins in approval. That is pretty amazing. So they get to accept their job, and then they get their uniform right off? That's so cool. He wonders how the payment set up works, though. "So it's just like that? Do you get your money for it the same way? Some people back home would recruit and go out to people with job offers, but it wasn't that cool looking!"
no subject
She taps her chin recalling some of the jobs and classes. "There is a class where your grimoire is the weapon. Tried it once, didn't quite understand it, so I threw the damn thing, and it left a cut from a single paper."
no subject
Ace shakes his head, but finally decides that whatever she's talking about is great, as long as it keeps her safe. "If it works for you, that's what matters."
no subject
"Tell me about these fruits with abilities then? Seems far fetched."
no subject
"So there's fruits contain a power, each of them. If you eat 'em, there's a cost that stays with you for as long as you live. And when you die, they disappear and then show back up for someone else to grab." He doesn't know quite how this all works out in relation to this place, though. It's crazy. "Some of 'em have really great powers. Some of 'em are kinda stupid. But if you're smart, you can make it work."
no subject
