▶ PLOTTING.016
Well after the decrystallization of Calanthe, people continue to report sightings of “phantom” marine life around Lunatia. With it comes a concerning increase of spontaneous asphyxiations in the area, in which victims are strangled by so-called phantoms until they are rendered unconscious. In response, Lunar Scientia opens recruitment for capable explorers to investigate Calanthe and find the source of these phenomena.
Unfortunately, the weather is not on anyone's side. A heavy storm starts racking Lunatia with record-high rainfall. Windows may crack or shatter from the sheer force of winds. Lightning decorates the sky, delivering large claps of thunder that call you awake from your slumber. Lunar Scientia sends all Moonblessed a message: the investigation is postponed until the storm subsides.
Soon, the flood rises high enough for Prismals to witness mechanical nautical beasts from an era long gone swimming past their skyscrapers, their metallic tentacles bursting through the walls to strangle all those within reach.
▶ Can’t Touch This
08/25 - 08/31 | top
A soak in the rain renders both Prismals and Moonblessed powerless in a matter of minutes, draining the Chroma in their bodies and perhaps even devices. They will no longer have access to any supernatural powers or abilities, granted by their Moonblessing or otherwise. Only moonlacing can improve a Moonblessed’s condition, but only enough remove their fatigue. Their powers will not return.
A As the storm rages on, an illusion of the Iris moon replaces the sun at noon, its new colors a swirl of onyx and amethyst as it bathes Lunatia in an eerie purple light. Moonlacing now drains energy and Chroma, causing Moonblessed to feel excruciating pain whenever they touch. Those who wish to become intimate will find difficulty in achieving arousal or relief. The Lunar Scientia catches wind of this and warns all Moonblessed to avoid touching one another and stay safe and dry. Swimming in nanobot-infested waters doesn’t sound like a good idea right now. The moon and its effects will last until the end of the month.
Those who are able to investigate the rainwater will find that it contains ancient octopus-like nanotechnology that feeds on its victims like parasites. If flushed out of the body or tampered with in any way, the nanobots will release a violent, near-lethal electric shock.
Who is controlling these machines big and small, and why are they doing this? The mystery spurs the Lunar Scientia to search for answers. Together with fellow tech-savvy Moonblessed, they study the unfamiliar technology...
▶ Get in the KRAKEN, Shinji!
08/30 | top
Days later, the storms only intensify. The metallic nautical beasts position themselves at the edges of Lunatia and float still. Their circuits suddenly light up with a purple glow, and they begin to chant in an arcane tongue. Then, with an ear-shattering pitch, beams of light fire from their heads and into the sky, all intersecting at the center of Lunatia.
When the silence arrives, so does their sovereign: Queen Tempeste of the Vierge Kingdom. Her voice is broadcast across all channels and devices in Lunatia as she descends into the waters, never losing its clarity.
Queen TempesteWretched creatures favored by the moons! Nay... Mindless pawns of the Mother Goddess. Your beloved Mother called me a blasphemer. She scorned me with Her Beasts, sealed my kingdom away and banished my people to the Iris moon until we were lost to memory.
But what, pray tell, was wrong with my legacy? My people have tamed nature, vanquished death, and traveled across the universe. We no longer needed a god... nor whatever She claims to be. That arrogant Goddess simply couldn’t stand it!
In the name of Iris and Vierge, I’ll avenge my people and finish what I started. KRAKEN units, initialize annihilation!
B The Krazy Killing Enemy Neutralizers (KRAKEN) have a name that leaves much to the imagination, but their enemies won’t be able to dwell on that for long. The same metallic beasts from earlier swim and gather around Tempeste, transforming into a gigantic mobile suit of tentacled robotic armor. Using her, she terrorizes the city as she marches not towards Magister Scientiae Alcmene, Lunatia’s head of state, but the rulers she is more familiar with — the family of Queen Elara.
However, not all KRAKEN units follow her command. The Lunar Scientia and their tech-savvy Moonblessed recruits from Prompt A successfully hack a number of KRAKEN units submerged in the flood. However, only Moonblessed are able to enter and pilot them with their Chroma. Each KRAKEN unit requires two pilots — one to maneuver the unit and another to fire beams and move its battle tentacles. They’re easy to use as well — both pilots are hooked up to the unit via neural sensors, enabling the pilot to control the machine with their mind. However, they might also be able to control each other’s thoughts... Ideally, this would allow the pilots to move in sync, but this might not go smoothly for pilots who can’t cooperate.
Use these KRAKEN units to take Tempeste and her tentacle mecha down, but take care not to destroy public property and affect innocent civilians!

Lyestella and Vulpus will arrive after hearing the pleas of the Lunatians and Moonblessed from afar but are surprised by what they find. Tempeste’s mobile suit lays on top of a crushed building, cockpit open as its pilot raises her arms and some tentacles in surrender.
The two gods explain the situation to Tempeste, who mistakenly believed the Mother Goddess controlled Lunatia.
Queen Tempeste
Why didn't you say so sooner?! How embarrassing.
…Well, I suppose the Prismals of this era aren’t as mindless as I thought. The Mother Goddess would have never allowed a victory sans, you know, deus ex machina… Now that I’ve been around the city, it’s rather advanced, isn’t it? It’s not the future I envisioned, but the quality of life is far better… Thank goodness.
What did you say, Vulpus? We won? What do you mean, not exactly? Oh, wipe that handsome smirk off your face, you stupid sea cucumber! You may be fit, but as a proper deity of Cordis, you’re absolutely useless!
This won’t do. If I'm going to take revenge on those Beasts, we ought to do things properly.

▶ I Don’t Wanna Miss a Sting
08/31 - 09/07 | top
After the stubborn Queen Tempeste surrenders, she finally allows the Moonblessed passage into the Viergian underwater city of Calanthe. This beautiful technologically-advanced kingdom lies several kilometers below the water’s surface and requires specialized breathing apparatuses to reach. The Lunar Scientia provides this to all merry adventurers who wish to visit in the form of modified LIFE suits, streamlined for underwater use.
The Viergian kingdom itself consists of magical crystalline dome-shaped barriers that shimmer from afar and are furnished with explicitly more advanced tech than those of Lunatia. The interiors can read your mood and respond in kind. Examples include shifting the lighting of your apartment space with playful colors if you’re feeling flirty or providing nostalgic images on the wall or ceiling if you are homesick. The different domes are connected by underwater see-through tubes that serve as tunnels from one sector to the next. They are also guarded well by kelpie horses and populated by Vierge jellyfish who can, with the help of Viergean nanotechnology, transmit messages straight to your mind. No longer hostile to the Moonblessed, they are quite friendly and chatty once you get to know them!
Instead of answering the Moonblesseds’ many questions, Tempeste curtly directs them to the famous Viergian Aquatic Theater. The jellyfishes perform their shows with interpretive motions of their bodies and tentacles in order to weave tales from the past. Attendees are able to share tiny pods where they can breathe easily, customized with warm seats that offer comfortable vibrating massages. The pods can seat up to four and give everyone a good view of the stage where you can enjoy a luxury raw oyster dinner, spicy pan-fried octopus with vegetables, white cream fish chowder, and premium seaweed champagne or freshly prepared starfruit juice for those below 18.
C As the show begins, the Viergians share with you the true tale of the Seven Beasts of the Calamity as a result of the alliance’s completed reunion. A few lucky audience members may notice their bodies undergoing a temporary nanobot-induced transformation, gyrating and moving about while under the jellyfishes’ control. You have your choice of becoming:
As you become these Beasts, you also temporarily embody their sin. Never had a temper before? As Basti, you do now!
The tale depicts a group of ancient Prismals praying and chanting feverishly as their bodies gradually turn into the Beasts. Who are these Prismals? The new generation doesn’t know, but the Viergeans bore witness to it all as the world’s ancient record keepers and progenitors of technology.
As the Beasts start to tear through the entire planet, the Vierge are damned to the ocean’s depths before they are encased in crystal for centuries. The show ends with rousing tentacled applause as everyone is bid to enjoy the rest of the city.
- The Wrathful Three-Headed Dragon, Basti
- The Lustful Golden-Haired Centaur, Lunae
- The Prideful Seraphim in a Lion Mask, King Majestas
- The Gluttonous Giant Crowned Boar, Ainfeil
- The Greedy Naked Woman Covered in Snakes, Aradana
- The Envious Basilisk Skewered by a Hundred Boat Masts, Nakash
- The Slothful Sleeping One-Eyed Giant, Aracht

Queen Tempeste meets with the Moonblessed a while after the show. She hopes the performance has enlightened you. Although she is inclined toward the sciences, she believes the arts are also crucial in the Prismals’ and Moonblessed’s next steps toward the future.
As further apology, Tempeste brings up a holographic interface with the wave of her hand and taps on a few buttons on the screen. You feel a surge of life course through your veins as Chroma returns to you, and a pleasant (or gross, it’s hard to say) tingling across your skin. Tempeste uses her nanotechnology once more to amplify all Moonblessing-related traits and original powers in the Moonblessed regardless of the current cycle to make up for all that time spent without touching. This will also amplify Chroma production to a degree the Lunar Scientae has never seen before. A blessing or a curse? You decide.
The nanobots automatically deactivate and leave your person in a week, the effects disappearing along with them. The moons and sun appear normal to you again, too.
▶ NOTES
ANCIENT NANOBOTS ▶ The ancient nanotechnology runs on Chroma which it siphons from surrounding organisms. Tampering with the technology is impossible; all attempts will be met with a near-lethal zap. Whether or not your character loses Chroma money and how much money is lost is up to you. The loss of powers or supernatural abilities may be tailored to affect your character. For example, a robotic character may experience internal errors or lose access to certain functions. The moon and sky are illusions; to those not carrying the nanobots, the sky appears as it normally should.
KRAKEN UNITS/MECHANICAL NAUTICAL BEASTS ▶ These huge robots are made with ancient technology and Chroma-fortified material that can withstand even the strongest of blasts. Hacking them will not be possible until Prompt B. It is possible to pilot the KRAKEN units manually without the neural sensors. A pilot will only be able to control their co-pilot as long as they are hooked up to the KRAKEN. As always, please ask for player permission before controlling their character.
THEATER TRANSFORMATION ▶ The transformation only lasts until the show is over. However, it is possible to feel remnants of your chosen Beast in your personality well after the show, even after the nanobots have been expelled from your body. This effect will wear off after the event.
QUEEN TEMPESTE ▶ She is sexy, free and single, but she is not ready to mingle. She does, however, have a GemHub. In the short time she has had it, she has filled it with several projects that are a testament to her terrible naming sense. She won’t be available to answer any questions, as she prefers to stay in her lab while planning her next move against the Beasts — and cooperating with Lunatia, of course.

Contact:
Character: Konoha |
Moonblessing: Iris
Smut Preferences: It's possible for existing CR to unlock event-fueled xeno stuff if interested! Kink list is here.
Log Plans:
- during the initial chroma draining rain, Konoha will probably be outside a lot trying to batten down the Tsurugi Farmstead
- while she has no powers to drain, this will make her dangerously low on (body) chroma
- as flooding begins, she'll allow emergency centaur rides to gallop people to higher grounder through the storm
- once the moonlacing hurts now episode is in effect, she will be very confused...
- also very in need of a blanket barrier so that she can try and get around it to hug someone until the danger is gone
- you will not catch this medieval Japanese centaur in a giant nanomachine kraken... but she's rooting for you? thanks for ur service...
- wait why is the first time she hears about centaurs in Lunatia a Lustful Golden-Haired Centaur named Lunae? lustful? that's slander!
- in the aftermath, she'll be calling on employees and soliciting volunteers to clean-up the flood-damaged Tsurugi Farmstead (lunch provided)
Since Konoha won't involve herself (as much as possible) in any Tempeste fighting, Kraken piloting, or under the sea exploration, I'll only be making a small log this event. Moonlacing/sexy options are available for the first part of the event, either her needing help after chroma drain or potentially her helping someone in need, inquire within! If there's any specific prompt you'd like, though, let me know and I can whip you up a custom starter!
