▶ PLOTTING.007


Reports of missing persons have been increasing as of late. The Moon Knights had to issue a city-wide notice to stay vigilant especially through the evenings. Holographic screens in public places, such as Lunatia Square or on Prismanode booths, display news and information about the missing locals as well as advice on how to stay safe, such as to never head out alone.

There’s a noticeable pattern on the victims: they are all very young, ranging from small toddlers to teenagers. Their bodies have not been found and there are no traces of unusual crystallization across Lunatia, the last places where they have been show no blood or signs of struggle, making it seem as though they had all seemingly vanished without a trace.

Several of the Moonblessed will be approached by concerned families out of desperation, coming forward with more details about their children. Should anyone catch sight or hear from them, they will appropriately reward any new information. If you decide to go and investigate, keep in mind the recent notices and never go alone.


Lunatian Girl Store
11/24 | Level 1, Near Crystarium Moonports | top

You come across a familiar pop-up shop that has opened recently in Level 1, perhaps in the middle of investigations, or by simply passing through right next to an area notable for a heavy amount of foot traffic.

Business for the robed peddler from before, who introduces himself as Asmodeus, has been doing quite well with his themed doll merchandise selling disconcertingly fast. His store is now a large corner shop two stories high with a wider selection of dolls catering to every demographic. The shop, called Lunatian Girl, is quaint and inviting. There is a tea house on the first floor, and the elegant doll collections are on display in the second.

 A  The tea house’s decor and food are all Prismagram-worthy, perfect for getting more clout. The menu's selection is small, but the quality is very noticeable on each plate.

However, worrisome rumors about Lunatian Girl can be overheard from the neighboring Crystarium Moonports and other nearby shops. A young woman in a pink dress is said to be constantly spotted in the exact table every day, still wearing the same dress each time. Another man said he might have seen one of the missing children near the area recently, but he doesn’t know any further detail as he didn’t think much of it at the time.

Some of the customers in the tea house can be witnessed trying to feed their dolls and talking to them as though they can hear and understand. Peer closer you’ll realize that their skin is abnormally white, and their eyes appear to be glassy, with their pupils shrunk to the smallest of pinpricks. Attempting to talk to them will lead nowhere as they would rather dote over their dolls. Instead of answering your questions, they’ll be more likely to have you join their lovely tea party. Won’t you people be dears and take photos for them? And please pass the butter, Miss Franchesca likes them on her bread.

 B  The second level is brimming with high-end luxury dolls no matter where you turn, all waiting to be taken home. The little dolls on the shelves haven’t changed from the last time you saw them, save for the newly added life-sized dolls at the spotlighted corner. The life-sized dolls appear more mature and older than their smaller counterparts. As you browse and inspect each one, you will eventually encounter one or two that seem familiar to you.

Should the realization hit, you recall the faces of the missing youth, and then it happens: something strikes. A prick of viper-like fangs adorns the back of your neck; you start to ooze ringlets of blood and find that your body is being controlled by something. Though your mind remains your own, you unwillingly begin walking towards the back room, into the storage area. Along with your friends, you all start dressing each other in lace and frills, doll up one another in make-up, and stand motionless inside decorated containers in elaborate poses.

Whenever the clock strikes midnight the next few days, all of the doll Moonblessed are compelled to moonlace, seeking out a partner or two. Perhaps each other, or a sleeping Moonblessed. Before the sun rises, they will always return to their lovely containers at the shop.

They’re never seen in the act. On the Lunatia Daily News, the list of missing people increases.





All Strings Attached
11/25 - 11/27 | Level 1, Near Crystarium Moonports | top

More and more worrying rumors surround Lunatian Girl especially as some Moonblessed haven’t been heard of for days. The situation escalates to the point that Knight Captain Natela formally issues her own units to storm the infamous doll shop. Any Moonblessed may volunteer to join if they desire. A lockdown around the street is underway to keep bystanders away from the shop during the mission, but it doesn’t stop the news media from broadcasting live, allowing those at home to witness the action.

As the Moon Knights surround the establishment, every single doll from the shop will congregate before Asmodeus who will lift his hood for the first time to show his serpentine features as he calls himself a brilliant mage who specializes in puppet arts. He will passionately announce that he wants to revive the broken planet together with his own lovelier, more charming children.

Deeming Asmodeus as a threat, the Moon Knights will attempt to charge at him, to which he responds in kind by crafting out bright red strings from his own blood — taking control of the knights to force them to target anyone close by — be it Prismal or Moonblessed. Knight Captain Natela dives in action with her remaining units and will urge the Moonblessed to focus on the hostile dolls while they take care of their own puppeteered knights.

 A  Some of the inhuman dolls’ heads may continuously spin and their eyes may completely roll back. Some may also ooze red liquid from their lips as they approach and lash out at anyone nearby, attempting to stab their targets’ eyes or heart out using the sharp tip of their parasols. Beware of their razor jagged teeth! The smaller dolls always attack in groups while the life-sized dolls in pairs, twirling and dancing as they do.

Watch out for the doll Prismals, who do not exhibit the same disturbing behavior as the inhuman ones. The young Prismals who have been kidnapped can be easily recognized by their familiar faces or their demeanor, they move slower and clumsier than the bloodthirsty puppets. Knock them out to safely take care of them!

 B  Asmodeus will be able to craft strings out of your blood, turning you into a living puppet. No matter how much you struggle or attempt to cut the strings, it will be futile. Once you’re a puppet, you will then find yourself latching onto the first person of interest you encounter, struck with the insatiable urge to obey their every bidding. Your desire to fight fades until you only desire attention.

The doll Moonblessed will act the same way; no matter how absurd, your wish is their command. After all, what is a puppet without a master? Don’t look at them, master, you only need me.

All effects will last until midnight on the 27th when Asmodeus and his loyal puppets are all subdued.


Magister Scientiae Alcmene

Please tell me the creepy dolls are gone! Are they gone? … No, don’t hold that doll head near me! Phew… okay.

Oh, the camera is on? Wait, at least let me prepare for serious face time!

Ahem, I once again thank the people of Prismatica and the Moonblessed for their continued gallant efforts! Rest assured that the remains of this dreaded Puppet Master and his ugly puppets will be taken care of.

Pending further investigation from the Moon Knights and Lunar Scientia, our preliminary findings show this vile man gained access to a type of forbidden arcane magic, one sealed away since antiquity. We do not know how he was able to restore this magic to a usable form, but we will be developing precautions and taking immediate actions to prevent such an event from happening again.

For all those who have been affected by this terrible incident, we extend our condolences. The Lunar Scientia will respond accordingly and deploy medical and psychological units to carefully handle the aftermath. Please do not hesitate to approach their services should you need it.


Shortly after the public speech, a trial against Asmodeus is held and is declared guilty after accumulating too many grave crimes. Magister Scientiae Alcmene will formally order that Asmodeus’ and the inhuman dolls’ remains be burned with enchanted alchemical fire to ensure their permanent erasure.

Almost immediately after Asmodeus is taken care of, all the affected Prismal youth, Moon Knights, and Moonblessed will be turned back to normal. They will need immediate medical treatment and/or Chroma, but is otherwise fine.





Ice to See You
11/28 - 11/30 | Level 1, Lunatia Square | top

The chill in the air grows more potent as all those in the city try and return to some semblance of normalcy. The first few signs of frost appear along windows, and stores start actively advertising all kinds of winter gear.

Now safe to prepare for the upcoming holidays, several decorations will be mounted along street lights and billboards, announcing “Happy Firialia!” to all.

 A  For those who have been here for a while, you may recognize the gorgeous half-girl/half-octopus hybrid named Ayla, a singing enchantress whose looks are as beautiful as her melodic vocals. She will be holding an outdoor benefit concert in Lunatia Square to raise charity funds for Prismal children and families in need, particularly those who were affected by Asmodeus.

All who happen to attend or pass by the concert will find that her traditional pop love ballads put them in a warm and comfortable spirit, to the point you might feel extra charitable. Do you own some clothes or shoes you no longer want to keep? Give them to someone in need! Is your hair too long? Cut some of it off and turn it into a wig! Your friend is down on their luck? Ass pats for all! Does someone not have a holiday date for Firialia? Pity date time!

You get a hug, you get a hug, and you get a hug! Everyone gets a hug!!

 B  Another fundraising event in Lunatia Square includes a “Love Until You Drop” competition. It is being streamed online! The more views, the more income generated for charity! Everyone will be encouraged to see how long or how creatively you can go handholding, hugging, or kissing (not necessarily all of these) one another. The hotter, funnier, cuter, or more unique — all of these and more will earn you more views!

The local record for the longest hug lasted nearly 24-hours. Try and see if you can beat it! If you have any lingering misgivings about joining, remember it’s all for a good cause: for the affected Prismal children and their families. How can you deny those sweet, cherubic round faces?

You are welcome to try again and again with other partners. All participants will be given a festive couple’s winter sweater (available in two types) or scarf as a token for thanks.

REMINDERS

As always, all content is optional. You do not have to be affected by any of the prompts if you wish to opt out.

Please ask for player permission before bringing up potentially sensitive subjects or triggers. Likewise, please make use of warnings and appropriate cuts.

It is okay to go wild creatively as long as you follow game rules and be mindful of people’s comfort levels!

Doll Moonblessed will be aware of what is happening to them but will be unable to do anything until Asmodeus is taken down. They can only follow their urges according to the log.

Puppet Master Asmodeus will be able to make use of similarly functioning fluids or energies aside from blood, such as magical energy, fuel, oil, and so on. It is okay to assume your non-human character can be affected if you wish them to be.

Prompt III-B’s Love Until You Drop is SFW only! The stream is for charity, not Furryhub!

This post is for plotting purposes only. A directory post will go up sometime on the 24th, GMT. What you see on this post will be the contents of the log. No changes will be made to the prompts, so feel free to plot to your heart’s content! You are free to use the template below for your OOC plotting needs:
