— Most importantly, have fun!


1/ Welcome to the world of Crystallis!
You have seen reality shatter and collapse around you, in the depths of the void you found a Crystal and now you are in the city of Aqures Ixen, surrounded by Moogles and people as lost and confused as you are. On the bright side, everyone thinks you're a hero! On the downside, they expect you to save the world. Maybe their expectations are a bit too much. Thankfully, you're not abandoned to your fate as a Moogle explains to you everything you need to know. Maybe it's time to get to know your companions in misfortune.

2/ Do you like your new life?
No? Well, either way, you better get used to it, to your new powers, to your new house, to the ball of fur that follows your every steps—Who knows, maybe you'll even make some friends here. Besides, even if everyone expects you to save the world, fighting isn't the only way to do so. Maybe you could open a shop to help and properly equip your friends who are actually eager to fight. Maybe you could try and gather people who think diplomacy can stop war, you could even start your own researches on the Crystals— Or you could make sure your house is the prettiest in all of Aqures Ixen. Anything is possible.

3/ Ukulele de Chocobo
Upon arrival, your Moogle gave you a map of Crystallis. This world may be a bit big for you to explore, so why not go to the Chocobo Farm and ask for a Chocobo? These big birds can't fly, but they're much more efficient than horses when it comes to travelling. Maybe it's your first time riding a Chocobo; it might be a good idea to have someone with you in case something goes wrong. Or maybe the old man at the farm didn't have any Chocobos left and gave you some Chocobo-Bait© so you can go and capture your own.

4/ A thing called Mognet
Hopefully you weren't used to Internet and cellphones back home. Otherwise, you might be a tiny bit confused when your Moogle returns to you with a stack of letters. Or maybe someone else's Moogle is coming to you with a voice message it learnt by heart and is now going to recite to you with a lot of Kupo. That's how the "network" works here.

5/ I believe I can fly~
You are on an Airship! Airships regularly depart from Aqures Ixen and stop by most major cities in the world, so they're the perfect means of transportation for you to go and explore this world. You can go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness.

6/ Exploration
Enough expository banter. Now is the time to explore. Maybe rather than spending most of your time in Aqures Ixen, you'd rather spend it living in Balicea, or betting on Chocobo Races in Trano Golsaucia. Or maybe you'd rather go and explore some ancient ruins that may hold some precious information. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere that isn't under imperial control; unless you have a death wish of course.

7/ Random Encounter
You were minding your own business walking around, and suddenly monsters attacked you! Time to put to use the skills you've learned with your Jobs! Alternatively, maybe this encounter isn't random at all, and you have been sent on a mission to kick some imperial asses in the war confronting the Heran Empire and the Republic of Esdham. Good luck!

8/ Getting Jobs is hard
It all started when you asked Jessie to give you a new Job. What could and should have been a formality, quickly turned into a trial. All you wanted was a Job, and here you are in the wild, hunting for a Malboro Vine. Or maybe you are in some ancient and decrepit ruins looking for an artifact. Or yet again, maybe she simply asked you to assist her in her researches on the Crystals. Getting new Jobs is not easy. Consider yourself happy though, at least you don't have to do that alone.

9/ The world is subject to unrelenting pain and suffering…
This is why you should play a game. After all, there are things a lot more important than saving the world: Blitzball is one of them. Triple Triad is another. Why don't you take a break and do something different for once; anyone wanting to play Blitzball is given a special potion allowing them to breath underwater, whereas someone who wants to play Triple Triad should have no difficulties finding veterans more than happy to get rid of their low level cards.

10/ Wild Card
Don't like the options offered here? Go crazy and choose what you want to do in this world!

Ben Tennyson | Ben 10: Omniverse | 3

[Giant chickens! Ben isn't surprised to see them, having spent a good chunk of his life interacting and sometimes living with aliens. Rather, he's extremely excited and can't wait to get his hands on one. They don't seem to fly, what with their large bodies and small wings, but he can't wait to ride one. Had he bothered to listen to the fluffy white thing in the beginning, or the old man, he would already this information. Ben isn't always the listening type.]

Alright, here we go.

[Against the old man's advice, Ben pulls himself up and over the fence and into a Chocobo pen. The birds seem not to care which is all well and good for Ben, who sneaks up behind one of the bigger ones. Without anything to lose, he leaps for its back and lands successfully, but the creature startles and takes off, causing the other birds to shriek and scatter.]

Whoa!

[He holds onto its neck tightly and struggles to balance, but when the Chocobo takes an abrupt turn, his body hangs over its side and begins to drag the Chocobo down. The creature carries him once, twice, three times around the pen before making one last sharp turn. The bird falls onto its side, with Ben pinned underneath its weight, coughing and gasping. After some intense thrashing it rights itself and Ben scrambles to his feet, winded and extremely relieved. He sighs, all of his muscles relaxing, before looking up at the Chocobo.

They share a long, hard look before the bird begins squawking, and suddenly Ben is shrieking himself, running from a small group of enraged chickens.]


This is not how I thought this would go!

[This, too, is Charlotte's first time on a chocobo. But she actually listens to the old man, so she'd actually managed to do an easy loop around the pen with her chocobo, her moogle, Mogsy, happily perched on the chocobo in front of her.

But when the commotion in another part of the pen reaches her ears, she turns her head to look.]


Oh no! That looks bad!

[Thinking quickly, she pulls at the reins, changing the bird's course towards the group of enraged chickens, intending to chase them off with her own.]

Go!
firstcrush: (You're a loser!)

[And here's Kai on the side, laughing her ass off at poor Ben.]

Hehehahahahahahaha!

[She was pretty quiet throughout the whole thing in the beginning, and was very curious when Ben showed avid interest in these special birds. That ended though when he wasn't doing so well. She just had to say something at this!]

[Kai then cups her hands around her mouth and yells out at him.]


For a guy who knows how to handle various aliens, you really aren't showing much expertise here~!
