Thriller night

"Indian Thriller" (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.

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? Is sexorcism a legitimate profession? — 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 transportation, you may freely roam around the government center.

▶ When There’s Something Strange in the Neighborhood
Iris Moon, Government Center (Arrival) and The Glory, Tower of Whispers | top

After the Viergean invasion weeks ago, the Iris government center has been repaired! The staff is hard at work now that the Iris moon base is fully operational once again. Many of them are still recovering from the attack, but they still managed to prepare something special for the Moonblessed. They happily declare the results of their research and compiled excavation efforts from the Glory, all of which are available to view at the Tower of Whispers. The tower is the largest and most well-preserved locations from the excavations, composed of spiral staircases and seashell designs. Its walls and columns filled from top to bottom with shelves upon shelves of old-world scrolls containing information about ancient Prismals. Little is known about the language used here, so like the machine translations of the Glory’s ruins, the texts remain largely indecipherable.

The Prismals warn the Moonblessed that the tower is haunted; they say if you close your eyes and listen to the silence of the tower, you will hear whispers of the ancients, unintelligible to Moonblessed and Prismal alike… For those daring enough to explore, you sense something amiss. A shiver runs down the back of your neck. A chill passes through your spine. Good thing you have the Lunar Scientia’s librarian droids to keep you company —- they will watch over and protect the archives, quick to ward off any theft or anyone mishandling the ancient scrolls.

As you peer into the scrolls, you find crude drawings in place of where you would expect ancient writings. There are illustrations of a three-headed dragon, a giant boar wearing a crown, a seraphim clad in a lion mask, a naked woman covered in snakes, a basilisk skewered by multiple boat masts, a sleeping one-eyed giant, and a beautiful satyr with flowing, flaxen locks.

 A  Stare at the contents of the scrolls long enough and the illustrations will soon transform on the parchment. The dragon may start breathing fire, the seraphim’s closed mouth might open and scream, and the basilisk might even start bleeding past the margins… But once you blink or look away, it’s as if nothing ever happened. On some pages, readers may find a disturbing ocular symbol fading in and out. “I told you this place was haunted!” you overhear some of the staff say. Other staff members mention seeing white figures and feeling something cold touching their heads or shoulders. Too spooky.

 B  After staying in the tower for a while, you might find yourself behaving a bit strangely. You’ll have the urge to knock scrolls to the ground, pull down the pants and skirts of neighboring Moonblessed or Prismals, kick over librarian droids, and generally cause chaos. You don’t know what’s making you do this, but you swear that you’re innocent. The librarian droids will be having none of this! They will send everyone out of the tower to be horrible geese somewhere else. These urges will continue for about an hour, so make sure you don’t steal someone’s lunch, sneak into rooms you shouldn’t be in, or do anything that will get you on TV!

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. The passengers on board include both old and new Moonblessed as well as Prismals. The next destination: Prismatica.





▶ Hail Hydra
Planet Prismatica, 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  Settle in your new home at Level 2 to 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  As part of the maintenance done after the invasion, broken public toilets were upgraded to what Lunar Scientia calls the Raging Hydra 5000, fresh from the factory and ready for use. Aside from its reliable auto-flushing and sanitizing features, these toilets are equipped with a vigorous pair of hydraulic AI-powered snakeheads that will sprout outwards from inside the water tank to give you a cleansing spray with a delightful little encouraging slap on the bottom at the end. They’re capable of intimate massages too should you ask nicely.

Designed to discourage poor eating habits, the AI will also give you unwarranted comments about your dietary intake. Its voice is reminiscent of the shrill nagging of a caretaker. One can simply walk by the public restrooms to overhear their incessant screeching. Some AIs may even go so far as to complain about your grades, your job, or how you never spend time at home anymore...

If you are impressed with the Raging Hydra 5000, you may purchase them at KRABBA: Lunatia’s most popular flat-packed furniture store! Local Lunatian testimonies mention feeling as fresh and new as the day they were born! You’re encouraged to submit feedback before you leave the restroom by tapping the mirror to access the survey. Yes, it doubles as a touch screen! If you leave the restroom without submitting feedback, the survey will keep popping up on your communication device until you answer it. How annoying!

▶ I Don’t Think You’re Ready for This Jelly
Lunatia | top

The scent of paranormal activity and pumpkin spice lattes is in the air! That only means Geistnacht is around the corner. According to local myths, Geistnacht is the night when the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead will be at its thinnest. It’s all the media ever talks about around this time of the year!

Activities like masquerades, bonfires, and communal seances are encouraged every single day for the rest of the month. One way of celebrating is to dress up as a deceased ancestor, friend, loved one, or any figure from history or myth they want to celebrate, and wear a colorful mask while taking part in the dancing and merriment.

 A  During the day, Prismal children will be going door-to-door, partaking in a custom known as Ainfeil’s Feast. They will be in cute costumes while wearing boar masks and crowns, requesting to be fed as much candy, pastries, or confections as possible. Take care not to be deceived by any naughty children returning with a different outfit. Refuse their request and they’ll run in your apartment or house to steal any eye-catching item from you or your roommates!

Though it is popular with children, adults also take part in the festivities. The Moonblessed are welcome to join in. Simply download the “A-FEAST” app to get started! The goal is to eat the most amount of confections before the night of Geistnacht falls. Using A-FEAST, scan each candy wrapper you have to earn points. Wrappers that have already been scanned don't count! You must be in costume or you won’t be given any treats!

Lunatians may occasionally give out other “treats” such as condoms, intimate apparel, edible undergarments, and/or flavored lubricants. When questioned, they will encourage the Moonblessed to make the most of their lovely costumes together. Winners will be given the hottest and most luxurious Geistnacht treat this year: crystal candy, a gourmet dessert platter crafted by celebrity chef, Sheldon Romsay. Tastes like a billion Chroma gem: you're an idiot sandwich to let this chance pass.

 B  Lunatia’s food industry is booming with fresh jellyfish meat because of last month’s incident. Vierge jellies are a rare delicacy, so get them while supplies last! Huge meat bargains are slapped all over the fronts of supermarkets, and butcher shops and restaurants are taking full advantage! Considering the festive season, it’s the best chance to grab your party grub for the month!

Food blogs on the internet frequently post about jellyfish sushi, watercress and nettle salad, stinger soup (extra spicy!), jell-ato, jell-atin pudding, peanut butter jellyfish sandwich, and the electric punisher cocktail. Comments left by Lunatians often mention enjoying their vengeance on these critters. Be careful: jellyfish may be tasty but eat in moderation! Overindulging may cause side effects such as indigestion, heartburn, and diarrhea.

Mages like to collect this meat for other shocking uses. Consuming Vierge jelly meat may slightly and temporarily increase the power of your electric magic or energize your body’s electrolytes (perhaps a little too much)! Shaking hands with others is not recommended while this is in effect! Unfortunately, this kind of jellyfish meat expires in a few days, so stockpiling it is impossible.

Kunikida Doppo | Bungou Stray Dogs

[handydandynotebook]

I. A Fish Out of Water

[Ever since Kunikida arrived in this new world he's had a hard time adjusting to the atmosphere and the culture. Even after settling into a new apartment and growing more accustomed to the advanced technology here there's still one thing that's tripping him up...

Sex. Why is it so prevalent here?? From lewd ads to even lewd shaped candy it seems to be everywhere, and Mr. Prude here looks absolutely scandalized about it. At the moment he's perusing a selection of candy at the local candy shop, and though he'd set out to pick up a few treats for the local kids because he's a Nice Guy he'll find no G-rated candy here.

He picks up a dick-shaped lollipop and just...stares at it, looking scandalized.]

What kind of world is this??

II. You Meddling Kids

[Eventually he does find some suitable candy to hand out on Geistnacht, but being the frugal guy he is he's a bit stingy with it, and the local kids don't appreciate that very much. After refusing to hand out more than one piece of candy to each kid he ends up with a swarm of children invading his apartment, and one of them snatches up his prized notebook before running out the door with it, giggling all the while.]

Hey!! Get back here, you damn brat!!

[Even when he catches up to the little thief they simply pass the notebook off to another kid, playing keep away with the very uptight angry guy because it's freaking hilarious. Help him, please??]

III. You Jelly?

[You'd think that poor Kunikida would catch a break after that, but nope. After heading to a local restaurant to order himself a nice dinner to try and relax he finds out that the menu is filled with nothing but jellyfish-themed dishes.

In fact this is the third restaurant he's been to that's offered nothing but jellyfish. What the hell?? Can't a guy just get a cheeseburger??

Cue him standing in the doorway of the restaurant, scratching his head as he peruses the menu with a very confused look.]

Why is there nothing but jellyfish on this menu??

IV. Wildcard

[OOC: Feel free to pm me with any ideas or just toss them here! I'm also on Plurk at dreamsofcoffee!]

1!!

[sweetsleuth]

[Meanwhile, in a corner of the candy store, Ranpo is very seriously considering the pros and cons of the many varieties of candy lingerie--]

[But the familiar voice has him dropping his basket on the ground it's for the best, Kunikida doesn't need to see what he was going to buy and practically sprinting across the store to make sure his ears aren't playing tricks on him.]

[...]

[He's not sure if he's more shocked to see Kunikida here in Lunatia, or more shocked to see Kunikida here in the dildo-lollipop emporium but--]

Kunikida-kun?





[Yeah it's definitely the latter, how did he wander into this store of all stores??]

[handydandynotebook]

[He's so caught up in being absolutely scandalized by everything in this store (how he missed that it's an adult candy store is a mystery) that he's completely caught off-guard when he hears a familiar voice coming from behind him...]

Ranpo-san...?

[But no, it can't be...can it? It's probably just somebody that sounds like Ranpo, or his mind playing tricks on him and making him hear the voices of those he's oh so desperate to hear.]

[But when he turns around he sees the actual Ranpo standing there, and he drops the candy in his hand, his eyes growing wide as saucers.]

Is that...really you?

[Or is it some illusion brought on by the trauma of finding himself in a completely unfamiliar world after going through hell back home?]

[sweetsleuth]

[Ah, that reaction... has he been wandering around alone for long, and is just shocked to see someone else from Yokohama? No, the Kunikida he knows would be more composed, or perhaps too distracted by his surroundings to allow for a proper reaction--]

[Unlike the others, he's more sure this time -- that they must be from the same tumultuous time period, if not a very similar one. And yet even as he manages to piece that together -- he can't help but wish he could be wrong for once.]

I feel like I'm the one who should be asking that question. You're the last person I'd expect to find in a candy store like this! Come on-- let's get out of here and find somewhere to catch up! You probably haven't been here too long, right?

1/2

[handydandynotebook]

[Excuse him a moment as he looks absolutely Shook to see Ranpo alive and well. The last thing he'd heard during that phone call back home were gunshots and then silence...]

You...

[Ah, he's getting choked up. Kunikida hasn't actually cried in a long time, but to know that Ranpo survived and is seemingly doing well...]

[It's enough to choke up even someone as tough as Kunikida.]

2/2

[handydandynotebook]

[AHEM...just gonna...try and compose himself instead of breaking down and crying in an adult-themed candy store.]

A change of scenery would be nice. Let's go then.

[Just gonna adjust his glasses and try to keep some semblance of dignity here.]

No, I just arrived. This is all quite a lot to take in.

[TO SAY THE LEAST...]

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi hears Kunikida before he sees him, yelling at the kids in a way that's terribly familiar. He follows his ears to the scene of the crime as it were, and he grins a little at the kids giving the poor man a run around.

At least, until he sneaks up behind the kid with the notebook, plucking it out of their hand while their game and Kunikida's reactions have them distracted.]

You know, stealing from people isn't ni--ack!

[Okay, so maybe that was a bad idea, because the kid sure did just kick him as hard as they could in the shin. He lets out a yelp, hopping back while grabbing his leg with a grimace.]

[handydandynotebook]

[Of all the people that Kunikida thought might stop and help him Atsushi Nakajima is the one he least expected. He'd run into Ranpo already, but to see Atsushi here too, and so soon...

...and getting beat up by little children. Ouch.]

Atsushi!

[Kunikida rushes over to him, and the kid that had kicked Atsushi in the shins runs off cackling. What a little shit.]

Are you alright?

[He knows that Atsushi is alright, the guy can heal from having his limbs torn off, but it still seems right to ask. He hasn't seen Atsushi in so long, after all, so the normal hardass routine takes a backseat to genuine concern.]

[scarsnstripes]

[It's fine, it's fine, it wouldn't be the first or likely last time Atsushi's been bullied or beaten up by little kids.

Though that says a lot about poor Atsushi's luck, really. And he never really has it in him to scold them much either, because... well. Obvious reasons.

Still, he's feeling pretty lucky right now, and he smiles sheepishly through the pain even as the kid runs off cackling like a little imp from hell.]

Kunikida-san! I'm fine-- I got your notebook back, too!

[He gives his leg one last rub, setting it down after a moment as he waits for the pain to fade. It won't even bruise, knowing him.]

I'm just glad to see you! It's been ages!

[handydandynotebook]

[Poor Atsushi, always getting bullied. Hopefully his life here has been at least a little better than it was back in Yokohama.

When Kunikida sees the notebook in Atsushi's hands he can't help but smile. That might just be enough to catch Atsushi off-guard, because he's not known for smiling much, and this one is so warm and fond you'd think he'd hit his head or something.]

That's good to hear. And thank you, Atsushi.

[He might just be a tiny bit sentimental about seeing Atsushi again, especially after everything Kunikida went through before being transported to this world. Ranpo had informed him that this Atsushi is from a different time though, and Kunikida won't be the one to break it to him that the ADA's future is rather grim.

Not yet, anyway.]

Me too. I just arrived. I'm assuming you've been here a while.

[He'll offer Atsushi a hand up, and knowing him his leg will be fine in no time.]

I had no idea I'd be mobbed by children. One piece of candy wasn't enough for the little brats, I guess.

[Ah, there's his grumpy self shining through.]

II

[tigerpoet]

[Ah, kids. The ones Atsushi is used to dealing with aren't this young - high schoolers aren't exactly the same as trick-or-treating age kids, after all - but even so, he has to step in.]

Is stealing a notebook going to get you more candy? [The tone is one that Kunikida should recognize: I'm Not Mad, I'm Just Disappointed As Your Teacher. He's very good at this tone.

"It'll serve that guy right for being so stingy!" The kids don't look particularly bothered.]

It'll just make him mad at you. And what if he tells the other people with candy that you were bad kids who stole someone's things? Will they want to give you more candy or less?

["...More so we won't get back at them?" But now they're starting to look more unsure.]

Are you sure about that? A notebook won't taste as good as candy, you know. [Atsushi holds his hand out.] Maybe you should apologize before either of us grown-ups can tell anybody else.

[Extremely reluctantly, one kid gives the notebook over, and Atsushi promptly hands it to Kunikida. He doesn't actually apologize, but good enough.]

[handydandynotebook]

[Thank god somebody with some experience with kids shows up, because while Kunikida is decent at taking care of them he's not so great at handling little brats like this. This person certainly seems to be though, and after watching their little exchange Kunikida is amazed when it actually seems to work.]

...was it really that simple all along??

[He takes his notebook from the stranger with a sigh, and while he could blow up at those kids and lecture them some more, the most important thing is that they seemed to have learned their lesson, so he'll leave it at that.]

Thank you. I didn't expect that kind of retaliation for being sensible.

[He's cheap, okay?]

[tigerpoet]

[The kids scurry off too quickly for Kunikida to get a decent lecture in anyway, it's just as well.]

Children can be particular about how they're treated. If they consider it unfair, well, something like that can happen.

[Not that he's saying it was unfair! Just that that's how they perceived Kunikida's below-average payout.]

There's no need to thank me. I would be upset if one of my books were taken.

[...especially the one that is kind of his soul now.]

II

[fatestaydead]

[You know what's scarier than an angry Kunikida?

An angry Yosano.

Mid-toss, the notebook is plucked out of the air. The children whose game have been interrupted begin to offer protests, until they turn and see the terrifyingly chilling smile of the person who'd interrupted them.]

My, my! What terrible manners you all have! I'll be sure to teach you all a lesson you won't forget.

[Is that the sound of terrified screaming children running for the hills??? Possibly. Yosano just chuckles]

[handydandynotebook]

[Kunikida is so focused on getting his notebook back from those brats that he’s completely taken off-guard when somebody plucks it out of mid-air. He skids to a halt, eyes going wide when he sees none other than Yosano standing there.

A very scary looking Yosano. Seeing that smile sends chills down Kunikida's spine, because he knows just how terrifying Yosano can be when she’s crossed.]

Ah...Yosano-sensei. It’s good to see you.

[Once the terrified children run away with their tails tucked between their legs Kunikida slowly approaches her, and though he’s not certain whether she’s from around the same time period as him it’s good to see her alive and well nonetheless.

In fact it’s kind of hard not to get emotional right now, considering everything that happened the last time they were all together in that helicopter.]

I appreciate you retrieving my notebook from those brats.

[fatestaydead]

Kunikida-san. [She greets him with a smile, but it's--A bit strained. And after a moment it fades, whatever expression he's wearing setting off some kind of signal in her brain. That he knows, and she knows, and...

Her fingers feel loose on the notebook, but she keeps it in her grasp as she hands it over.]

...It's good to see you too. [It's amazing how much can be conveyed without words.Sure what she says is genuine, but also it goes far beyond that. It's good to see him--whole and most importantly alive. It wasn't just this place playing tricks on her, right? A bit softer, she adds:] It really is.

[Forgive her for giving into sentiment and getting a tad emotional herself here.]

You've missed out on a lot, you know. It's about time you showed up.

You meddling kids

[necroyalty]

[If it was a smaller child, she probably would have just gone with the same route Atsushi did. As it is, though, this time it's an older, more impudent smol. Time to bring out the big guns.

She gives the child holding the book a deathly glare. Unfortunately for Prisma Billy, kids suck at Wisdom saves, so he freezes in place just long enough for Ambrosine to summon a Mage Hand to snatch the book back.

And then Billy books it.

As the floating disembodied skeleton hand deposits the book in Kunikida's hands, she softens her gaze and looks back.]

Better?

[Billy's not sure why he was so afraid as he runs off, but it's probably because that was the fear-inducing glare of a goddamned lich in human disguise.]

[handydandynotebook]

[Kunikida has seen some pretty bizarre abilities in his time, but seeing this woman summon a floating, skeletal hand to snatch his notebook back from that bratty kid definitely catches him off-guard. He stares, eyes wide as his notebook is delivered to him in the most bizarre way possible.

Well, it worked at least. That’s the important thing.]

Ah...yes, thank you. It’s quite important to me.

[There’s definitely something unusual about this woman, but Kunikida will try to be polite anyway since she retrieved his notebook for him.]

I’m Kunikida Doppo. And you are?

[necroyalty]

Ambrosine. Just...

[ Her title means very little here, and she stumbles a bit trying to introduce herself in a way that doesn't come off as either too close or too standoffish. ]

Ambrosine.

[theartofdying]

Blame it on the jellyfish invasion last week.

[The voice comes from behind Kunikida, a familiar tenor that sounds slightly disgruntled. It's a tone that the other man might distinctly recognize as a proto-whine, a prelude to a very dramatic series of complaints complete with emphatic arm gestures and perhaps even draping himself over the nearest furniture. Or person. Or, you know. Kunikida. In fact, that would be a bandaged arm right now, snaking its way over his shoulder, the familiar weight of Dazai as he bemoans his fate--and perhaps waits to see if he ends up hurled to the floor for his troubles.]

Really, it's unfair--I can't even get my favorite crab curry anymore. I'm starving, and everything is just jellyfish. I might die if this keeps up for much longer, and starvation is no good at all~~

[handydandynotebook]

[Oh. Oh no. Kunikida knows that voice. That grating, irritating voice that is usually either taunting him, going on and on about suicide, or whining about something. There’s no way Kunikida wouldn’t recognize it immediately, and as expected, none other than Dazai Osamu is loudly complaining about the menu and being as dramatic as possible.]

Dazai...?

[Excuse him as he stares, wide-eyed, as Dazai’s arm snakes around his shoulders oh so casually, as if this is just another day at the office. Except if it were any other time his eyebrow would already be twitching in irritation and his blood pressure threatening to skyrocket, but after everything that Kunikida has been through his first reaction to seeing Dazai here is actually relief instead of irritation.

Ranpo had informed him that Dazai was here too, but actually seeing him in person after he’d went missing in the time period Kunikida came from gives him so many feelings that he can hardly handle it.

Of course Dazai is bound to notice that Kunikida is acting strangely if he keeps this up, so Kunikida will sigh loudly and feign irritation as best he can to try and avoid arousing suspicion.]

So there you are. Still slinking around and whining, even in a different world. I should’ve known.

[That’s Kunikida for “its good to see you”.]

[theartofdying]

[He should know that voice. Dazai is going to be incredibly disappointed if it turns out this is some AU Kunikida that doesn't know him at all, or a Kunikida from before they met, or--well, maybe he wouldn't be disappointed if it was a Port Mafia Kunikida like he and Yosano had briefly mused about that once. It'd be interesting to see that in real life.

But no, he's not wearing enough black to be a mafioso, and the way he says Dazai's name is still familiar, even if he sounds suspiciously calm. Hmm. What's that mean, he wonders. There's a tension to Kunikida's shoulders, there always is, but it's not the same. Something to think about. Something to file away.

But there it is, that sigh, and at least a veneer of irritation; enough to make Dazai whine all the louder, to play his role appropriately. After all, it wouldn't do for Kunikida to feel unwelcome, would it? Leaning heavier on his shoulder, Dazai sighs theatrically.]

Really, you're so mean, Kunikida-kun~! And here it's been months since I've seen you, and you didn't miss me at all, did you??? I thought we were partners~~

[Heartbreak!! Look at his face, he's so bereft~~~]

iii

[dereban]

Because the people here decided "hey, it's a good idea to market the massive amount of sudden jellyfish we have now" in the hopes that people would obviously want to eat them after they tried to attack everyone.

[ Both her voice and expression are completely dry and she's looking thoroughly unimpressed as her eyes narrow. He might have been asking that question as something rhetoric, but Inaba seems to be answering him regardless. ]

[handydandynotebook]

[It was a rhetorical question, but hey, he's not opposed to a little conversation. He turns to see a young lady speaking to him, and she looks just as Done as Kunikida does right now.]

Ah. I see.

[He sighs before setting the menu aside. No jellyfish for him today, thanks.]

Were you a victim of these creatures as well? It sounds like they were quite a nuisance.

[dereban]

[ Inaba doesn't really want to have any more jellyfish, because yes she's had to deal with being a victim of them. Her shoulders sag a little bit and sigh ever so slightly. ]

Unfortunately. And since I'm an Iris moonblessed, the jellies were kind of. . . attracted? To me.
