— Reply with a character you wish to test in the game's setting.
— Feel free to use one of the prompts below or make one of your own!
— Tag around! This is a panfandom RP, so don't hesitate to tag both castmates and non-castmates.
— 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 legendary 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. It's probably time to get to know your companions in misfortune. Besides, it seems this has occurred very often this past year-- Maybe the characters who have been here for longer than you may help.

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 it is possible to negotiate with the Calamity, you could even participate in the research on the Crystals— Or you could make sure your house is the prettiest of them all in Aqures Ixen. Anything is possible!

3/ Neighborhood Woes...
The government of Aqures Ixen is sorry, but there are too many of you Heroes of Light. Hence why there are no free houses left in district dedicated to housing you. This may also be why you're not alone in the house that was given to you. Hopefully you're not living with a mad villain plotting to take over the world and hopefully your neighbor isn't a singer who doesn't know how to sing. On the bright side, you may have be living with someone very cool and maybe an artist of great talent lives next door! It's just not likely.

4/ Crystallis 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 Lure© so you can go and capture your own. You can find details on Chocobo Capture here.

5/ 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 it to you with a lot of Kupo. That's how the "network" works here.

6/ A Thing Called Strike
In spite of how old-fashioned it is, Mognet is very useful and odds are that you may have become dependent on it. Hopefully not, because one local tradition seems to be Mognet Strikes. Nobody knows any more whether the Moogles have legitimate reasons to go on strike or if they are just lazy. But today, Mognet is down, and to get information you have no choice but going to the public board in the third district or in taverns.

7/ 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 also borrow the Heroes of Light's official Airship, the Enterprise and some characters even have their own airship! You can go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness.

8/ 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 the ancient ruins that may hold some precious information in the continent of ruins. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere!

9/ 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!

10/ Getting Jobs Is Hard
It all started when you asked Cid 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 he simply asked you to assist him to clean the laboratory. Getting new Jobs is not easy. Consider yourself happy though, at least you don't have to do that alone.

11/ 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.

12/ Events Of The Past
Missed an event you would have liked to participate in? The Test Drive Meme is the perfect place to play this event without being restricted by the game's chronology! Maybe you would have liked to be lost and attacked from all sides in the creepy Magitek Research Facility or maybe you'd have liked to celebrate the Christmas of Crystallis. Yet again, maybe you would have preferred to regain your true powers and subsequently be on your path to death, as in The Night of the Thirteen Moogles or chase ghosts for a living. Or how about reliving some of your Worst Memories or fighting in A War for future of the world?

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

"I'm going to get you hooked up, Tsubomi!" Exclaimed Erika, making a heart shape with her hands.
bag_has_snapped: (Tsubomi - Get out of there!)

Re: 13 - because why not?

[personal profile] bag_has_snapped 2015-12-24 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Tsubomi's hands quickly shoot up, waving frantically. "N-N-Nonononono, th-there's no need to do that, honest! P-Please, don't!"

"Hmm... that could be an issue..." said Erika, folding her arms.

"There could be a person for you."

"E-Erika... you don't have to. Really." Tsubomi said, reaching over to take Erika's hands. "I mean... I-I'd like to have someone special, but... well... what we're doing is probably a little more important."

Re: 13 - because why not?

[personal profile] bag_has_snapped 2015-12-24 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Tsubomi's face turns to one of 'Oh, Erika', before letting go of her hands and hugging her tightly. "...I don't know what I'd do without you, Erika... I... I love you dearly..."

[ooc: idk if summoning Keyblade is possible in this rp, haven't read up about it yet. But this is

[personal profile] mimaikin 2015-12-24 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[just a testdrive anyway. /ooc]



Isa immediately puts his blindfold on, tying it tightly.

Then he concentrates and after a minute or two, something appears in his hand, forming very slowly from Darkness.

After another moment, this something becomes a Keyblade, one that looks exactly like Master Xehanort's for a few seconds - and then it's surrounded by lights that look a bit like flames and a bit like moonlight, and changes shape, also very slowly - it now has a bit similar shape to Xehanort's, but there's no eye, and the Keyblade looks as if it was made from moonstone.

Then Isa sighs tiredly and the Keyblade disappears.

"This one is mine." He says it louder now, not in whisper. And he says it with some kind of pride.

"You'd never let me show you as an adult, so I showed you now."

"Eh? Well I love you too, Tsubomi. You're pretty much important to me." She grinned at Tsubomi cheerfully. "After all, we're partner Precure right?"

Erika grinned as she rested her head on her folded arms. "That's right."
bag_has_snapped: (Tsubomi - Bashful)

Re: 13 - because why not?

[personal profile] bag_has_snapped 2015-12-25 03:29 am (UTC)(link)

Hehehehe, she grins and pats Tsubomi. "C'mon, lets go get some lunch."
rialynn: (Play it cool)

[personal profile] rialynn 2015-12-25 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Rialynn's wide eyes flick briefly to the Moogle. She wasn't ignoring him, per se, she just didn't realize Tamekichi was a name, or that it was his. ...Come to think of it, she doesn't know the man's name either. And they probably don't know hers.]

[Oops.]


You, uh...you had abilities?

[Focus on the topic at hand first, she tells herself, with an awkward shifting of her weight from foot to foot.]

R...right. A flute would be best. But, uh...maybe it's better just to focus on the running instead of the music?

[Because the last thing she'd want to do is sing while making a frantic break for it. And now's probably a good time for introductions. She gestures faintly at herself.]

I'm Rialynn.
rialynn: (Lizardmen?!)

[personal profile] rialynn 2015-12-25 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Lost his own...what? Memories? His life? She really wants to ask, but she's pretty sure he didn't trail off like that for trivial reasons.]

Hey, come on. I'm sure you tried as best you could, don't put all of that on your shoulders.

[She knows her words probably don't mean much, but still. It needs to be said.]

...You didn't see it because he never got around to summoning it? Did you manage to stop them eventually?
firstaid: (she knows how to use a sword)

[personal profile] firstaid 2015-12-25 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"I... I honestly can't get close to cats, either." She sighed, defeated at the fact that these Chocobos don't really appear to be all that friendly. It's really deflating and really, all she wants to do is pet one.

But she will not let this one failure get the best of her. "I will pet this Chocobo!" If anything, she was stubborn as she tried for another attempt and... failed.
firstaid: (soft smile of contentment)

[personal profile] firstaid 2015-12-25 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, excuse me, but before you go, would you mind telling me where to get one?"

If it is anything that would aid her in getting one of the Chocobos to actually get near her, then she would do just about anything. They're so cute and they're also very efficient for traveling needs, which is why she really wants one to at least have an affinity towards her.
firstaid: (hmm; unsure; unwanted)

[personal profile] firstaid 2015-12-25 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, so instead of approaching them, you have them approach you? That is a way to do it, and while it requires a lot of patience, I can see the appeal."

She taps her lower lip in thought, eyes looking up she then cants her head just a little. If that is the way to do it, then what supplies would she need? "I've heard a lure is quite effective in having one come near you -- do you have such a thing on you?"

Unless he's one of those people who has that natural charm with animals. Unlike her.
firstaid: (happy happy)

[personal profile] firstaid 2015-12-25 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
If anyone knew how to get animals to respond to them, it would definitely have to be Yuri. With how Repede always seemed to be by his side, perhaps he knew the trick. Then again, she can't get anywhere near Repede either, so... that was also quite discouraging.

Still, he had a point. "I suppose so. I honestly don't have very much experience with wild animals." Which was a given with her situation, which was why that's all she had to say. Yuri knew her situation and how still most things were new to her despite traveling with everyone for so long.

"But you must know, right Yuri? Can you lure one?" Looking at him, her eyes were bright, hopeful. If anyone knew how to lure an animal it would be him or Judith!

Rufus Shinra | Final Fantasy VII

[personal profile] ruinedempire 2015-12-26 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
1

A hero of light.

Wasn't that a laugh?

Rufus eyed the moogle by his side with mild disdain, clearly unamused by the entire situation he was tossed in. Aqures Ixen? Saving the world? His entire wardrobe changing to something he'd never find himself in on a normal day (gunner class)? Why would the problems of another planet be any concern to him? He really didn't care. Well, except for the whole Calamity of the Skies, that was a little too close to Jenova for him to just ignore.

Well, he might as well use his current status as a legendary hero to his advantage. Rufus turned to the Moogle and started to order it around, almost like it was second nature to him. Which. It was. Being the former president of Shinra sorta did that to people.

"You, grab me some water. Preferably in a bottle." He was tempted to ask for some painkillers for his headache that was forming, but he didn't really trust the Moogle well-enough to grab him something like that.

3

Was he really being forced to live in an apartment with these... charming individuals? Ever since his company fell after meteor, Rufus was used to living in places that weren't extravagant. That wasn't the problem. The problem was living with people that he didn't trust, at best. At worst, they were going to be nuisances that only served to make his headache grow.

Fantastic.

But he put on a charming facade, greeting any new roommate with a poised posture. None of the irritation he felt was visible on his face or tone. There was no point in make enemies right off the bat and if he played his cards right, they could be useful in the future.

"Greetings. It appears that we will be rooming together for an extended period of time."

Zaveid | Tales of Zestiria

[personal profile] windshields 2015-12-26 03:26 am (UTC)(link)

Huh, flying ain't a half bad thing. Makes it easy to get around, that's for sure, but the wind seraph kind of enjoys this. Maybe just 'cause it's his element, or maybe because it's easy and lazy. Not that he's lazy by any means, but he's tired, he's old, and sometimes taking the easy route is the nicest. Then again, also having a vessel is nice, too. Just camp inside them, and boom just stay there for the ride. Hah, that's an innuendo he'll need to remember if he sees Rose again. Just 'cause.

9

Well, it sucks he doesn't have his powers (and sucks that he can't snoop in the girl's sauna with said powers), but at least he has his pendulums. Time to see if these babies work decently here, too. Along with a new job. Given he's only really used spells with limited physical attacks, a mage seemed to fit him best, but goddamn that nothing with wind. Kind of pisses him off, but hey, maybe it'll be fun to try something new.

And to the person who's fighting with him?

"Hey, you ready? I'll take on that sexy lookin' thing, alright? She's just my type."

As much as he is seemingly going to flirt with their female shaped monster, he'll take it down no problem. An enemy is an enemy.

[personal profile] mahoukillabro 2015-12-26 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Countless heroes from countless worlds, and Rose ended up going on a mission with Zaveid, of all people.

Unfortunately, she's working as a ninja right now, and the mask covering her face means that Zaveid won't be able to see her look of disgust. He should be able to hear it in her tone, though. Should.

"Whatever you say, hotshot. This one's yours."

Either Zaveid kills the monster, or is killed by the monster. Either way, Rose wins.

Oh, he knows that tone and he totally lives for it. The scrutiny of her (supposed) gaze and that tone of her voice that says nothing but disgust for the situation... yes the perfect reaction that anyone should have. It breathes life into him, it really does.

"Oh, Rosie, so glad you have such confidence in me!"

If anything, her reaction gives him more energy as he charges toward his vixen-like foe. Of course, doing nothing short of proclaiming sweet nothings to her... while taking her down. Even a 'don't be jealous of the other lady, now' can be heard. Just to rile her up. Yep.
