[ Mikami is not okay. Granted, he hasn't been okay for 10 days now and most of that is not the fault of the strange alien planet he has suddenly been brought to, but being here isn't exactly helping either. He's gone through all the arrival procedures like sleepwalking and now he's spent a day or two just sitting in his apartment staring at nothing. A part of him still expects that this will all go away and he will finally fade into nothingness as he righteously should--- but that's not happening. He's still here, he's still breathing, and all of it is so so utterly wrong.
Mikami has never posted on the internet for advice before. That has always been the kind of lost and pathetic that happens to other people. He thinks about how low he's sunken and hits 'create account' on Prismagram. ]
I am dead. I have been made to understand that this is not the status quo. Why am I here then?
[ ... yeah, a very helpful post. He may be convinced to come off anon over the course of conversations, but that's a case-by-case thing. ]
▶ B. UN: mkmtr
[ Some time after that existential crisis is aired to the public, Mikami sits down and makes an actual personal account that he intends to use if needed be. He's not much of a social media person, never has been, but it seems useful to have in a place that is entirely unfamiliar. ]
Good afternoon.
I have recently settled in Lunatia after my initial arrival procedures. While I have been able to gain a wealth of information from officials and don't require immediate assistance, there are questions that I feel are better answered by other 'Moonblessed'. If you have a moment to spare, I would be grateful.
How well have you found your education from your old life to be valued in this city? For obvious reasons, we are without our certificates and cannot prove whatever degrees we may have obtained in the past. How would one go about having their academic status recognized?
Naturally, most knowledge would not carry over one on one, but there is still merit in being able to cite experience.

[ There is a guy in a suit slowly exploring Lunatia Level 2 and visibly cringing at every bit of colorful decor or bubbly pop music. He looks like he hasn't slept well in many days. He also looks kind of lost. You may approach him in any manner you see fit, just wildcard me. ]

Though upon arriving here my injuries were healed without a trace. Physically it's as if the event that ended me had never taken place.
Were you healed?

Of course. I imagine coming back from the dead would be deeply upsetting.
[well it's not like this conversation is relevant to him at all—]
Anyway, good luck with your new chance at life here! I assume this place is vastly different from the one you came from?

[ He likes your theory but he's not convinced the dreaded necromancy did not take place. Which is gross! Fuck necromancy! Sorry, Yeager. ]
On both counts.
If you told me to imagine an alien planet, I would likely think up a concept that is a little more Outlandish than Prismatica, but it is still a far cry from the world I am used to. Even leaving aside those horrid moon effects, this world has a vastly different atmosphere to it.
Is it the same for you?
no subject
It is. We don't have anything comparable to this where I'm from - both in terms of the city itself and the moonblessings. The world I come from does have all sorts of fascinating creatures, but those are monsters and they're always hostile. Seeing the people here was also a bit surprising, I must admit!

I do wonder about the correlations but I suspect the answer I'll be given is 'the moons'.

Though this appears to be a very technologically advanced society, this aspect feels reminiscent of how people in the past would use religion to create explanations for physical concepts that had yet to be discovered.

I don't like the idea either.
