— 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!

Coppelia | Log Horizon

[farming_bot]

9.

Encounter! Coppelia is standing there, gauging the amount of enemies. She had gathered up precisely 5 elementals, 6 bombs, a cactuar and three dozen assorted smaller enemies. Tilting her head, she stated in her matter of fact tone.

"Defeating these enemies with wide range AOE will take approximately 5 minutes and 42 seconds. Coppelia suggests using your strongest abilities. At 2 minute mark, Coppellia will administer healing, and utilize a wide range threat debuff, in order to allow the tank to utilize any hate-gathering abilities."

Coppelia didn't seem worried she gathered so many dangerous monsters.

"In the chance of party wipe, Coppelia will swiftcast a Resurrection Prayer. Let us begin."

Yzma, Emperor's New Groove

[wrong_lever]

Here is only lady who doesn't have the time or patience to waste surveying the battlefield. She's brilliant, sexy, and way more competent than anyone else she's ever known, so she just just going for it.

Yzma has 'Overlord' equipped, but she's swapped out the Dark Knight's sword for a large mallet. She dashes forward, spindly legs carrying her surprisingly fast for a woman of her ag...level of maturity.

"Ah ha ha HA HA! I'll smash it with a hammer!" she titters, as she brings down her weapon on the nearest bomb.

[just_want_normal_knees]

Ruby had her scythe out, her gaze focused on the monsters, primed and ready for anything... until Coppelia began giving out instructions.

At which point, everything began to whirl around Ruby's head like a whirlwind, confusing her.

"Uh... what?" she uttered, completely missing her cue.

Yang Xhiao Long | RWBY

[littlelightdragon]

Three!

;;

Dejectedly, Yang drops her bags on the bed that is now hers, looking around the room. Small, so small, much smaller than the one she had at Beacon, and she has to share again. That's just grand - she thought she was finally getting out on her own!

Sighing, she sits by her bags, pulling out a picture of her team, thumb brushing Ruby's wide smiling face. Let's hope her new roommate's someone like Ruby, or Blake; at the very least someone she can get along with. Yang prides herself in getting along with anyone, so it might not actually that hard - as long as they're not the kind to creepily stare at her while she tries to sleep.

Putting the picture away, Yang rolls her shoulders, getting up again. Enough of the melancholy - she has unpacking to do.

Re: Yang Xhiao Long | RWBY

[farming_bot]

There's a polite presence near the door when Yang is unpacking, and Coppelia speaks. "Do you require healing?"

Ever the conversationalist, the maid-dressed woman tilts her head at Yang. She was very Kanami-like for the short time she had known her, but Yang shared Kanami's enthusiasm.

"I have prepared tea and shortbread for the party. Unfortunately it carries few buffing stats."

[just_want_normal_knees]

Ruby idly walked by the room, Zwei following right behind. She'd been more than a little lost since everything happened a few months back, but on the bright side, she'd been making a few more friends.

She'd wandered by the room and cheerfully waved. "Hiii~! You must be new here! I'm Ruby and--" she stopped as she realized who it was. "...Yang?"

tsugumi komachi | ever17: the out of infinity

[moonsea]

( wildcard )

[ Have you placed any orders recently? Splurged on an oversized sword, found the giant Cactuar plushie you've always wanted, or landed a sweet deal on a new Magitek Armor?

(Some say it's actually a knockoff the size of a Hypello, but you won't know unless you try.)

Regardless of your answer, there's one waiting just for you, but instead of your friendly neighborhood fluffball, the package is delivered by one, particularly impatient Mognet employee in one of their stuffy Moogle costumes, ready to jab you in the back if you're not paying enough attention. ]

What's your name?

[ The voice comes out muffled because of the outfit, but there's something about it that makes it clear she didn't intend for it to sound like a request of any kind. Demand, maybe. All Tsugumi wants to do is to get rid of the box in her hands, and this had better be the right person. ]

Re: tsugumi komachi | ever17: the out of infinity

[farming_bot]

Coppelia. Thank you for my package.

[Coppelia was unused to getting mail other than GM mail, and she stood there, hands clasped with that ever blank expression on her face.]

I had placed the order an hour ago, and it arrived on time with a variance of 2 minutes. I have been told that being polite is key to further deliveries.

Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca | Final Fantasy XII

[desertbloomed]

It didn't take long for Ashelia to adjust to being back among the living - or rather, the moving, as she technically was not dead. She had been in crystal stasis for a much longer period of time previously, of course. Several months was nothing compared to almost thirty years. She familiarized herself with her abilities nearly as quickly; she sneaked out of the hospital, her Illusionist abilities making it all to easy to slip out unnoticed.

Though by nature her time in crystal stasis felt like none at all, she couldn't shake a vague sense of stiffness, both in mind and body. She felt as though she was moving through molasses, the very air around her resisting her every move. How much time had passed? Where did Aqures Ixen stand in the conflict? Had the refugees been relocated to Santa's Village? Had the Emperor honored their Yuletide agreement? What of the Calamity? How much of the world had it consumed while she had been in stasis? Her thoughts raced as she walked along the cobblestones. She was too distracted to keep up the illusion, letting it drop as soon as she was free of the neighborhood around the hospital. She needed information - and she didn't want to alert the other Heroes to her presence just yet.

And so, the Queen ducked into an alleyway and teleported to one of Aqures Ixen's seedier establishments. All the better to learn about recent happenings. She refused to return to her compatriots a lost lamb, and so took a place at the bar, swirling around a glass of terrible wine she'd bought with a few spare gil she'd had on her person when she'd crystallized.

Re: Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca | Final Fantasy XII

[farming_bot]

Surprisingly, Coppelia was there, passively sitting among a group of toughs. They were laughing and joking, but not one of them had touched the delicate looking woman. In fact, it seemed like they were avoiding any lewd propositions.

"Oi oi," said one of the toughs. "A newbie to the bars?"

"Shush you," scolded another tough, this one with a large mohawk. "That's one of dem Heroes of Light."

"Bah, Hero or not, they don't have anything on Lady Coppelia," said a third tough with an eyepatch and a large afro. "Oi, you want company?" He called out to Ashe.

"Bruno," said Coppelia and he blushed, "What I mean to say, is that you need a drink ma'am?"

Monica | Hooky

[gonnasavemyprince]

[ 1(ish) ] "What a cutie!!! Hello!!"

Upon arriving in Crystallis, the first thing Monica notices isn't her new surroundings, the weird circumstances, or even the crowd of confused people around her-- it's the adorable little creature that's been assigned to her. Enamored with its cuteness, she picks up the Moogle and starts spinning around with it high in the air, cooing about how adorable it is and completely ignoring anything it has to say.

"Um, Miss, could you put me down kupo, I need to tell you about--"

"And you have such an adorable voice!" She brings the Moogle down and starts rubbing her face against it, much to the Moogle's dismay. It just wants to do its intro spiel, but Monica is having none of it.

[ 3 ] Unfortunately for those living near her, Monica is in fact that neighbor/roomie who loves to sing yet can't hold a tune to save her life. She's happily humming to herself as she decorates her side of the room, flitting about with an overwhelming amount of pink bedding and white roses. One can only wonder where and how she managed to obtain all of it so soon after arriving in Crystallis.

Eventually, she finishes her decorating spree and stands back to admire her handiwork-- still humming with the grace of a screeching violin.

"There we go! Now it feels much more like home."

[ 9 ] Of all the monsters to run into, why did it have to be a giant bug. Why did it have to be a giant spider. Not to mention as a white mage, Monica's woefully unequipped to be taking on any kind of monster on her own. She's trying to put on a brave face, staff at the ready, as she stands against the horrid monstrosity, but honestly? She's frozen solid.

"I can handle this... I can handle this..."

She can't handle this. Please help.

9

[farming_bot]

Coppelia felled the last of her enemies when she noticed the movement in the area. Walking over, she tilted her head at the sight of Monica trying to fight off that spider, or lack of it as it were.

For todays' farming, Coppelia was equipped with a Black Mage job, as she drew her staff. Whirling it around, she calmly moved in between Monica and the spider. "Do you require healing?" she asked before the edge of her weapon ignited into flames.

Dylas | Rune Factory 4 / Ryslig CR!AU

[sullenstallion]

[9]

[How long has it been since he's been in a good fight, one that wasn't against unsuspecting humans or fellow humans turned monster? This world has a lot of good things going for it, but being able to beat the crap out of monsters is definitely one of his new favorites.

Unfortunately, given his low level in both of his job classes ( vampire and monk), he's gotten himself a bit over his head against a gang of mandragora. He's poisoned, but he isn't going to give up on a fight just because of that. He's also not proud enough to turn down assistance, though hopefully someone doesn't run in and cast cure on him.]

You can help, but I'm taking 'em all down first!

[He's been through enough—a little competition and punching has him in a rare good mood.]

[5]

[It happens all the time. There's a voice coming from the hallway, or there's letters appearing right next to him while he's distracted. There might be a thing called Mognet, but Dylas has actually never...seen his Moogle. It's either too shy or too afraid to speak to him face-to-face, and he's getting a little annoyed.

Can't say he blames the guy, though.

Eventually, enough is enough. While he's out picking up some items to cross off his shopping list, he finds a stack of letters addressed to him and not a sign of the Moogle who left them there. With a scowl, he turns to the Warrior of Light next to him and glares at their Moogle.]

Hey. Give me your Moogle.

[He means temporarily, to ask it a few questions, but that isn't apparent at all in his tone.]

[ooc; because of his cr!au, Dylas looks like this but with shorts. Ryslig is a darker game, but I'll try to keep those elements out of the test drive meme.]

5

[ratkicker]

[If Jade had encountered Dylas in a dark alleyway, she'd be more inclined to back up slowly and run away. Not for this appearance, but for that threatening look he's giving her Moogle, who is still holding letters to deliver. Secundo's headpom shakes as he steps behind Jade's legs for safety.

She remains standing tall - as tall as she can possibly get when confronting a massive creature - and gives Dylas a hard look.]

Don't try to threaten me.

Hei | Darker Than Black

[illfatedassassin]

2. [Home Chooking; known as Li]

As it stood, everything about this world worked against Hei. Well, save for food of course. And now living with others, his life would not doubt get more problematic. As much as he was used to living in an apartment, the structure was a bit different. However, as he shopped for food, he happened upon an idea. Being a hospitable resident would certainly help get closer to them, to know them. And between talking and cooking, he'd rather cook.

So he can be found cooking in the kitchen, casually switching between the use of the oven and chopping up more vegetables and such like a pro. Eventually, he notices you, and gives his usual fake smile; to others in this world, he was known as Li.

"Ah, thought I heard someone. Dinner will be ready shortly."

4. [CHOCOBO CATCHING]

Hei was used to eating poultry in a variety of ways, and cooking them in just as many. Using giant chickens to travel...not so much. With no Chocobo to ride of course, he had to capture one of his own. Immediate dread fell onto him. Given their overall size and mobility from simply seeing them ride, they were no doubt stronger and quicker than a horse. If they could survive in the wild against monsters, fighting them was not an option, especially when he needed to ride one.

Luckily, the opportunity did allow him to act the part of the goof that was Li, managing to try and get onto the featery steed...now if only the Chocobo would listen and stop. He had been riding for what felt like an eternity, holding on for dear life. Horse taming was not part of his training regimen, let alone taming wild animals and monsters.

"Calm down already!" he shouted, trying to pet its head, almost nearly getting it bitten off from the giant bird. If only he could just shock the damn bird.

Didn't matter if he was in character or not, this situation was not going well at all! The Chocobo of course refused to listen, suddenly sprinting further into the forest against Hei's wishes. Almost immediately, Hei hit a branch due to the high speed, knocked to the ground.

He coughed, glaring into the branches above blocking the sun as his almost bird-ride fled. Yep, this perfectly symbolized his life. He made a mental note to have chicken later, if possible.

...What did fried Chocobo taste like? His stomach growled, and he frowned. "Story of my life."


10. [MALBORO HUNTING]

Nothing was ever easy. Of course they'd find some way to rope him into another mission.

At least being a ninja gave him more of an excuse to wear a mask. He didn't need to hold back. Not many people knew of the man under the mask after all. Well, they were used to a bumbling fool with an insane appetite. The assassin, the Black Reaper, was another story. As was hunting dangerous monsters. This would be his first outing against such creatures, and from what he could tell, they were the stuff of nightmares. He had only seen pictures of them in his glossary, and didn't fully know what to expect. Everything in this world was still very new to him, and he hadn't quite mastered this Job.

And when he came across the large creature, hunched over as if sleeping, bad thoughts quickly emerged. In a straight-up fight, given the ailments, the creature stood an advantage. Hei might be faster, but that was about the only edge he had right now. Just had to get the vine, presumably one of the tentacles. Simple enough. Strike with enough speed and force to one off, and run like hell. Easy.

He silently moved through the grass, and climbed the tree. The height from here should give him enough of a boost to hack away at this beast cleanly. In theory anyway. Gripping the hilt of his blade, he slowly breathed. Now he was reminded of when he was first doing this to regular people, all as a little kid. Slitting throats, strangling with wires, that was nothing new. That mindset was needed now more than ever. Just accomplish the mission and--

Though that plan failed, a snap quickly making the malboro wake up. Someone was here, and now Hei knew things were going to get problematic...

10

[offwithyourlimbs]

Lucy hadn't been particularly minding where she was going. She wasn't used to caring, and honestly since she'd adopted the Dark Knight job she hadn't found a reason to change how she operated.

Maybe she'd revise the policy as the Malboro rose inhumanly fast and saturated the area with Bad Breath.

Not quick enough, the wave struck her, filling her nostrils, eyes and mouth with nauseating magical gas. She recoiled, suddenly blinded.

Akane Segawa (Schwein) | Netoge no Yome

[my_bad_self]

2.

Akane was kinda pissed, kinda not. It all depended.

When she liked Net games in general, she was not expecting to get sucked into a world that disturbingly seemed way too similar to Final Fantasy. Even this Dark Knight job was way too close to her in-game character.

At least the armor wasn't required, so she could get out of that abomination that was black and spikes, and get into a set of armor more fitting someone who knew what fashion and equipment did.

Half the time she was storming around, and once in a while she slipped into her Schwein personality. Either way, Akane wasn't happy.

13.

Custom Job, Custom Job! Akane had spent long hours being interviewed by the moogles about how it works.

It was perfect! If... only for one... minor... detail.

"What the FUCK is this?" demanded Schwein, grabbing the researcher by the cloak and hauling him close. "When I said I played a guy online this wasn't what I meant! Change me back!"

"You'll get that option right away!" stammered the researcher. "The gender change is to facilitate your higher stat bonus!"

"Tch. You really want me to stick you like a bleeding pig, don't you?" That expression Schwein had could kill, but he relented and let go before initiating the change. Patting herself down, Akane sighed. "Seriously, warn me if you're going to pull a genderswap on me!"

Dr. Eggman (Mayfield RPG Variant + Fourth Wall Event) | Sonic the Hedgehog (games)

[destroytheblueone]

1

The last thing Dr. Eggman remembered was getting caught up in the crystallization effects of Crystal Stasis. It felt like an instant, but there was months between the moments. Upon being freed, the first thing out of his mouth?

"--OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Whu...? Wait a minute? I'm... I'm normal. I'm alive! HO HO! I'm free again! No computer world or crystal can keep me down! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

Of course, laughing like a maniac is going to raise a few eyebrows...

3.

"Wait, wait, wait, I have to live HERE?! With others?!"

Eggman looked over his new housing with confusion and annoyance. Too pristine. Too goody-goody for his tastes.

"I spent a year living in one suburbia, I refuse to live in another! I'll raze this place if I have to!"

13.

Eggman's been a busy little mad scientist since his return. It's bad enough that he's been disgusted with how primitive technology was in Mayfield, but Aqures Ixen is even worse! Thus, he's set out to make things better. A 300 IQ + the Blacksmith Job + the Scholar Job = leaps and bounds in technology! His first invention: a prototype Crystal-powered car.

"It's time for this world to get out of its Stone Age and into something more high-tech and powerful!" Dr. Eggman said, showing off skeptical onlookers his vehicle. "Those birds are fine and airships are nice, but this... this is the stuff of dreams! No longer are you at the mercy of some wandering band of thieves - you can run them over! Mail taking too long? Just drive on over to your friend! It's perfect!"

3

[my_bad_self]

"Oh shut up, it's not like you're going to be trapped in this house," grumbled his newest housemate, a tiny blonde with twintails. Shouldering her giant sword, she smirked. "This is kinda cool actually, I get my own place."

yuri tsukikage | heartcatch precure

[moonlighted]

9: your worst memory...
It was happening again, she was fighting near the Heart Tree, but her energy was running low — her magic little to nothing by now. "Hngh," Cure Moonlight grunted, trying to push herself up from the ground. She needed to fight, she was the only one who could defeat the Dark Precure and Sabaaku alike!

Gripping at her chest, she looked up, a strong negative bolt of energy gathering in front of her. With eyes wide, she opened her mouth to scream — just as a small fairy shot out in front of her to shield the blast.

"Co... Cologne!"

13: wildcard! meet your moogle, yuri!
All right, so we were going to do this whole 'trapped in an unfamiliar world' thing, were we? The loss of her powers left Yuri with little choice but to walk around in her school uniform, a simple freelancer from what the helper moogles had explained. They had also implied that a moogle of her own should have been assigned, but there had been no sign of the creature so far... until what appeared to be a floating stack of letters was making its way towards her.

"You're here, you're finally here!" a voice announced, causing her to tilt her head, as a purple bauble poked out from the side, revealing a moogle's face. "I've been waiting for you for a long time! Here's all your mail I've been collecting!"

"My mail...?" she reached out, picking up a letter, which was just a flyer. Had... this moogle been saving every bit of mass mail since the first heroes' arrival.

"I'm so glad to finally meet you, Yuri Tsukikage! I'm Kulogne!"

Re: yuri tsukikage | heartcatch precure

[stupid_erika_shenanigans]

9.

Well wasn't this awkward.

Erika had come out of her own worst memory to fall into another one, and she arrived just in time to see Cologne get vaporized. Coffret beside her made an unholy noise of choked horror.

"It's okay," said Erika, that knot of nervousness twisted tight in her stomach as she ran up and interposed herself between Dark Precure and Yuri. "Dark Precure away! You have no power over this memory!"

It was one thing to sound awesome. It was another to still be nearly three feet shorter than Yuri and look imposing.

Phillip Gray the Phone Guy - MS Variant because screw it

[voiceinthephone]

One

"Hello? Hello?"

Oh...oh this is different, that's for sure. One night, Phil's asleep in a warm, if lonely and dangerous bed and now he's in this unfamiliar land that is definitely not where he laid his head. It'd be downright hilarious if the man wasn't wearing his usual bear pajamas. And what's this about him being a hero?! The people who greet Phone Guy are all so welcoming but he can't fathom why they'd think that.

"You definitely have the wrong person!" he tried to dissuade them into backing down but then there's...the floating teddy bear with a pompon on his head. It was adorable. It's this love of mascots that he was meant to die by way of an animatronic ripping his head off back in his original world.

"Are you lost li'l guy?" Please someone stop him before he drops off his Moogle into a pet shelter. Phil will go around asking, "Excuse me, did you lose this?"

Three

It's not long until Phone Guy manages to get himself into trouble, as he's trying to escape a Geezard, or in his words, the salamander from hell. And he's not quiet about it, a man who has never picked up a weapon in his life and now he was being trailed by this embarrassment of a monster.

He slipped against a nearby tree and try as he might, he had no real means to defend himself now, other than kicking the monster in the face.

"Well, I had a good run...I'm gonna die," Gray muttered mostly to himself as he grabbed the nearest items and threw them, contradicting his pessimistic setting.

Wildcard!

gods Phil, if you're running from a Geezard you've slacked off in V's training

[linkpearls]

"Ow!"

That squeak came from a moogle in a red beret as she flailed at the sudden attack of some rock being thrown at her. What the hell?! "If you're gonna throw anything, throw a kupo nut! You'll make friends much easier!" she yelped as she watched her hero, a woman clad in armor simply stab the Geezard, ending the so called fight.

"Pray do not mind Tala, she's just a little nervous." the voice coming from the warrior is surprisingly soft. "Are you alright?"

Hisui Hearts | Tales of Hearts R

[cockblocker]

[ a | do you like your n e w l i f e ? ]
[Evolving your Soma was so much easier than having to buy new gear all of the time. Hisui tilted his head as he looked around the various wares, wondering if this was really how otherworlders got along without utilizing their Spiria.]

[ b | i believe i can f l y ]
[Sure, he rode atop of Warheit with the others, but taking to the skies is still an amazing experience that never got old. Hisui must have looked like a little kid with wide eyes looking over the railing, exclaiming at every sight he could see.]

[Tomb raiding was never something that Hisui considered a past time, but hey, when in Rome never mind he doesn't know what Rome is... given that he's the only one in the Hearts cast that's even dressed appropriately for any kind of adventuring whatsoever, he may as well make some use of it. Besides, exploring the abandoned cities of Quartzia was kind of like ruins spelunking, right? And maybe he could find a way home. Unfortunately, he's not as adept at jumps as his little sister, so when Hisui tried jumping from one ledge to another he promptly fell onto his ass.]

Ow...

[ d | the w o r l d is s u b j e c t ]
[Hisui just blinked at the gigantic sphere with blitzball - he never really got comfortable with the idea of swimming, and he wasn't about to start. Instead he decided to just head on back to the tables and try his hand at Triple Triad - that seemed easy enough, right?]

[ e | w i l d card ]
[Go wild.]

[terrorfirma]

( it's so lucky for you, hisui, edna just happened to be in these ruins today, too. and quiet, lazy footsteps come up from behind just in time to see him take an amusing tumble.

why, it's even enough to make her smile. just a little. ) Well, I can see you're a professional at this sort of thing.

Thancred Bladesong | Final Fantasy XIV

[censorshipnutkin]

1.

Thancred had expected the light from Y'shtola's spell. He hadn't expected most things to shatter and collapse, nor the crystal and strange voice. Waking up, he glanced at the red crystal in his hand, the one he'd been given when the world reformed.

"Not where I expected to end up." He said, brushing himself off and checking his weapons and clothes. "But I doubt she knew exactly either." He didn't know what she'd cast, but this wasn't Eorzea. It was at least familiar, as he stared at the Moogle in front of him. there had been a few to explain things, but this one seemed to stick around.

"You ok, kupo?"

"I'm sure I'll be fine." He took a few steps to look around, noticing the moogle followed. "Are you planning on following me around?"

"Yes!" Oh boy. It was going to be an interesting time.

hai

[linkpearls]

If that was interesting, wait until someone spotted him in the distance: a woman wearing the armor of a Crystal Knight and a moogle with a familiar red beret bob into view from grocery shopping. The 'knight' stopped in midstep and couldn't help but drop her bags, making the moogle squeak and scramble for the food. Now this would be very strange if the woman was a stranger; instead, there is a very familiar Scion leader running towards Thancred and embracing him.

Well, that's a way to say hello.

"Thancred! I can't believe you're here!"

Aang (4th wall event) -- Avatar: the Last Airbender

[partofthecycle]

Aang missed the Chocobos. Well, as much as you can miss something while being in Crystal Stasis. So, before he goes to inquire about prices, he's going to say hello to all of them at the farm. By name. "Hi, Sunshine. Buttercup, you look nice today. Is that new tack, Daffodil? It looks great. Man, I missed you guys."

6

Of you can try to solve the Mognet strike by being a mediator. So Aang is chatting with the Moogles on the picket line. "Yes, I see what you mean. Maybe it is a bit much asking you to keep up deliveries to Nabila and Flence without hazard pay. Hey, maybe I could help with that, being a Hero and all."

9
Maybe Aang needs to work on his job combination. Beastmaster and Dancer are both heavily support jobs, and at the moment he only has Mogya and Momo, his lemur. Which means you see a Moogle attempting to punch a flock of Buers, while a flying lemur dive-bombs them, and their human partner is doing some impressive (albeit out-of-place) dancing.

9

[ussa]

Gene regrets his decision to team up with Aang.

Beastmaster can be a useful Job, he has to admit, but not when all you have are two armless animals. "Are you serious?" He sighs and pulls out his crafted gun and shoots the Buer that was fighting Mogya.

"Stay back. I'll finish the rest off myself."

Akane Kuroshiki | Zero Escape Series

[sesenta]

3. Neighborhood Woes

[Wow...what a nice, big house this is! Honestly, Akane hadn't expected anything more than a spare room at the inn, so this is a pleasant surprise.]

Hello? Is anybody--oh!

[Knocking on the door causes it to swing open. It was already ajar? She holds up both of her hands, surprise clearly registering all over her face before she decides it can't hurt to take a little peek inside.]

Anybody home?

[Doesn't sound like it, if the resounding silence is her only answer. So Akane steps inside. This is where she's supposed to be living now, so it's not like she's actually intruding. It gives her a chance to wander around the living room and the kitchen, though she's polite enough to stay out of the bedrooms until she knows which one is hers. That's when a quiet 'splash' draws her attention. That sounded like it came from the back yard. One more place to explore, then!]

[And that's how you find your new roommate, Akane -- kneeling in the grass next to the manmade pond, a small box turtle slowly wandering over her lap as she giggles girlishly. What? Turtles are cute, it's not her fault.]

------------

4. Crystallis de Chocobo

Eeeeeeeeeeee!

[It's hard to tell if the brown-haired girl clinging to the neck of the sprinting chocobo is squealing from fear or sheer delight. The large yellow bird streaks across the corral, head down and wings spread, as Akane sits astride the mount leaning forward as well.]

[Get a good look at her face, however, and it's easy to recognize the unbridled joy reflected there. The bounding steps bounce and jostle her, but she doesn't seem to be in danger of sliding off.]

[At least, not until the chocobo bounds over the fence. That's when Akane takes a tumble, landing with a grunt in the tall grasses and rolling to a stop. Her clothes are rumpled, and her hair is wildly disheveled after her sudden crazy ride. But she just looks so happy...even if she's definitely going to bruise after all of this. To be alive, and feel the sun on her cheek, and smell the fresh country air... It's almost everything she could want. There's no horrific future waiting for her here, no half-existing between two realities, and only her brother knows what she had to do to stay alive. He's here with her too. It all feels right.]

[All that's missing is...]

[Akane's nose wrinkles as she shifts a little, feeling the solid lump in her pocket that's digging into the small of her back. Straightening her clothes puts the pocket back in the right place, as well as the little doll stuffed inside of it. No...it's better this way. The questions he'd ask aren't the sort she's prepared to answer right now, or ever. It's better for him to remember her as she used to be.]

[But still.]

[Akane rolls onto her stomach, propping her cheek up in her hand as the doll mysteriously finds its way into her other palm. He'd love this place, wouldn't he?]

[partofthecycle]

Turtles are cute. Even if Aang keeps expected to have them be turtle-ducks. Somehow those heads on those bodies just looks strange to him.

"Hi! Are you new here? My name is Aang."

Momo had alerted him to the presence of someone in the yard, and now the lemur was perched on his shoulder examining the newcomer. Possibly to see if she was feeding the turtles, as well as playing with them. Momo had priorities, and the woman didn't appear to be a threat.

Chie Satonaka | Persona 4

[f_steak]

2. Do You Like Your New Life?

Hyah! Uwahhhh! HYAH!

[Okay. Now that Chie's been thoroughly briefed that this is not some new weird dimension inside of the TV and that she's in no immediate danger, she's calmed down and stopped embarrassing herself. She's still got her glasses in her pocket, just in case, but so far she hasn't found a single situation where they've been necessary or even useful. What IS useful is wailing on this training dummy with her powerful kicks, because of course she showed up in this place as a Monk.]

[But it still feels weird, being dragged into a place like this. Why was she the one who got chosen for the job, out of all their friends? The Chief seems more suited to being a...a-a Hero of Light, wasn't it?...than Chie could ever be.]

[Still, it's not that bad. Sure, she misses her friends and family, and even her smelly dog. But it's kind of cool to think that right now she's working hard to save them. She'll just have to tough this out, lift up her chin, and punt the Calamity to the next universe! Chie, that's not how this works.]

[Once she's worked up a good sweat, she stands back and wipes her brow with a big smile on her face.]

Five-hundred kicks...not a bad way to start things off!

[Then her gaze tracks to the sword she set down on the bench. Monk isn't the only job she picked up, apparently she's also a Paladin. Chie scratches her head, tousling her short brown hair. What's she supposed to do with this thing, anyway? Her legs are where it's at. Wearing a sword and armor will just slow her down, won't it?]

[Sighing, she hefts up the sword, and finds it to be...surprisingly light! Or is she just stronger now? Well, whatever! She takes a clumsy swing at the dummy aaaaaaand chops it right in two. The upper half goes thumping limply to the ground, leaving Chie standing there with eyes the size of dinner plates.]

Oh crap! I didn't mean to ruin it!

[Murderer. Vandal!]

-------------------

5. A Thing Called Mognet

[Chie stares down at the blank piece of paper in front of her, awkwardly grasping her quill. How is she supposed to hold this weird thing? More importantly, she only knows how to write Japanese, and even then her literary skills are only adequate at best.]

Uh...

[Oh man. Why can't they invent cell phones, or texting devices? That would be so much easier.]

[The Moogle floats patiently nearby. It had already offered to transcribe for her, but Chie was too embarrassed to accept. She's not so high and mighty that she has to rely on others to write her letters for her.]

[No, she's got this. She's totally got this. Chie concentrates hard, scrawling each letter as best she can. It looks pretty good! ...For a first-grader, maybe. Finally she finishes, and picks up the letter to dash outside and grab the attention of the first person she meets.]

Hey! Excuse me! Does this look legible enough to you?

[What she wrote is 'Hello my name is Chie nice to meat you I am neuw hear and not so good at writing please be gentul.' But good luck translating even that. She looks up at this person, eyes shining with hope. It's passable, right? At least a C+?]

Orihime Inoue | Bleach

[leekspins]

1. Welcome to the World of Crystallis!

[Orihime taps lightly at one of the six-petal hairpins. It's so weird, not being able to feel the tiny spirits connected to her own soul. It's also strange not being able to feel the spiritual presence of a single person around her. Her Moogle gave her the rundown and answered her riot of questions, but there's still a lot she's trying to figure out.]

[Like how she can get the right Jobs to become a Cyborg Ninja. That might be one of her top priorities.]

[She pauses in front of the Crystal of Fire, studying it with quiet curiosity. Her folded hands separate as she reaches out and places her palm on the flat surface. Then her fingers jump back.]

Oh! It's really warm!

[But not in an unpleasant way. She touches it again, a small smile slowly spreading across her face. Neat!]

[After a few moments of silent appreciation, the chestnut-haired girl withdraws and turns around to get a good look at the other Heroes who have also awoken. It seems like the veterans are starting to arrive. Orihime cranes her neck, hoping to see a familiar face, but she's pretty delighted at seeing the really strange-looking people show up too. In fact, the weirder the better. It's not every day she gets to meet someone who doesn't have some sort of human origin at the very least.]

[If no one approaches her first, then she has no problem taking the initiative. Orihime surges forward toward the first friendly person she sees.]

Excuse me! Would you mind showing me how to get to the airships?

[Because that's one of her top priorities too.]

[OOC: I can't actually app Orihime into the game, but heaven knows I've always wanted to. Here for other people to test, or just to play around with for fun. Don't feel obligated!]

[prettyflyforablindguy]

[If you could see Dezel's eyes, they would be surprised at the chipper resonance of the stranger's voice.]

You think about finding out where they're gathering at their lowest points?

[he shrugs.]

As far as I can tell, the winds converge south of here.

[He points down the street.]

Or you could just find a way to fly straight up and hijack one in mid-flight.

[Because that's an option for everyone.]

[powerconverter]

1

"But Kupobi-Wan, I was going to go down to Tosche Station and get some power converters! I can't be a Hero of Light right now!"

The young moisture farmer groans and turns away from his exasperated moogle. He can't see any way this isn't going to set his enrollment to the Imperial Academy's flight school a whole nother season.

"C'mon, there's gotta be some mistake. I'm going to be a pilot, not some mystic warrior."

5

Luke eyes the airship and huffs. "What a piece of junk!"

He hasn't flown off-planet yet, but he's pretty sure that ship isn't space-worthy. Definitely not going to lightspeed. It's really just a floating sandcrawler.

He still wants to give it a spin, though. It'll be the biggest thing he's ever piloted, though certainly not the fastest.

[sesenta]

"Don't say that, you'll hurt her feelings."

The cheerful rebuke came from a young woman who was standing near the gangplank, one hand outstretched to rest on the airship's side. If there was any true bite in her words, it wasn't reflected in her smile, nor the curious look she gave to Luke. Was she seriously petting the airship? Sure looked that way.

Grinning, she turned her attention back to the not-at-all-junk-like incredibly magnificent vessel, giving the hull one last fond pat before stepping back and lacing her fingers together. "I think she's lovely. I can't wait to see what it's like to fly with her!"

Miles Edgeworth | Ace Attorney

[frilliance]

"Is there anything else I can do?" the moogle asked, trying to keep a straight face.

“Perhaps you can stop with that horrible smirk, for a start?” Edgeworth replied, crossing his arms. Why was she laughing? “I just said ‘Chocobore’ and you instantly started giggling.”

“N-nothing, Kupo! Heeheehee! I’ll be on my way, Kupo!”

And with that, the smirking moogle left. Edgeworth was vexed. What could the Moogle find so funny? And in a situation as dangerous as his? He was stuck in the middle of the Calm Plains with no obvious way to go and that infuriating bird he was riding before he fell off it had probably gone for good. And, ugh, his bottom was still hurting thanks to that fall.

Well, there was no need to panic. It would not do any good. Not if he wanted to survive.

Edgeworth glanced around. There must be some good rock he could take refuge behind until he could send for help. He would rather avoid bloodshed if possible.

It was then that he noticed someone, who may or may not have been witnessing the conversation between him and his moogle.

"Ah, excuse me! Perfect timing!"

He may look like he's glaring at you. Unfortunately, he does not realize he is doing it.

[damn_juicebox]

Rukia had, in fact, not noticed Edgeworth and his Moogle until he called out to her. And what a coincidence, she just so happened to be riding a chocobore chocobo of her own, with brilliant emerald feathers. She pulled up on the reins, slowing the bird before directing it toward the man.

The chocobo itself appeared to be a proud thing, holding its head aloft and somehow managing to look down its beak at him as she held herself with picture perfect posture.

"Yes? What is it?" She was fairly certain they had never met before, so she assumed he was one of the new arrivals, likely one that had departed the Temple of Fire before she arrived.

Unwilling to dismount just yet, she would nonetheless happily answer his questions, as she was sure he must have had many.

And so did she, when she realized his situation. "What are you doing out here without weapons or armor? You are a mage of some sort, I hope?"

John Egbert | Homestuck

[fireflyheir]

3 - Prankster's Gambit

[So! New people means new roommates, right? Weird how there doesn't seem to be a sign of the new guy, though!

… Unless that door that's just ajar counts? Maybe he's in there!

Check it out?
> Y
> N]

7 - Into the Sky

[As cool as it is to be somewhere where magic is (very, also) definitely real, losing the ability to fly himself is kind of a major bummer. John stares at the horizon, then slumps against the rails with a whine. He's sure he could outstrip the airship, if he could just try…]

How much longer?

12 - Busting Makes Me Feel Good

[Why is the Ghostbuster Job a thing? Who knows, but more importantly this means that John is living the dream. The unfortunately sometimes slimy dream, but hey!

And that last cake the ghost just threw was probably just ectoplasm, but still. Yeuch. He wipes it off with a grimace, and holds onto the particle thrower just a little bit tighter.]

Come on, we've got to find this guy before he ruins anyone else's memories of cakes!
