— 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!

Fifty or more?! Ashelia took a step back, one hand covering her mouth in surprise. "Monstrous...and they were awoken by Kalki? To what end?" That was the question whenever it came to Kalki, though. Ashelia knew something of her plans, but there was still so much she didn't know.

The Queen looked at Bruno sharply. "More children? Father above..." She shook her head. "But not Ib. Not Ib. Tell me she lives yet."

"A connecting statement of the other Heroes was that they all possessed White Crystals," answered Coppelia. "However, why they were so important poses a question the regency is striving to discover."

Bruno shook his head. "I don't think there were too many casualties, and I think from what the boys say, all the other kids are accounted for. Geez, what a sorry sight that was."

"Coppelia apologizes for not being there when the passing began. Coppelia's Revive spell was not available at this time, due to the cancelling of Coppelia's War-Cleric capabilities." added Coppelia. "If this was Elder Tale, the fallen would have revived at the Cathedral. Sadly this is not the case."

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!"

"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."

[personal profile] destroytheblueone 2016-04-16 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"I am a genius!" Dr. Eggman snapped back. "I can't work in a place like this, especially with other people around!"

[personal profile] destroytheblueone 2016-04-16 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)

my_bad_self: ((112))

[personal profile] my_bad_self 2016-04-16 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"A big deal? You? All I see is a old guy who is in a desperate need of a wig and a styling brush!"

Akane glared daggers at him as she gave him a expression that would be otherwise known as super fierce. "You can't honestly think you're hot shit because you were here first."
destroytheblueone: (Dr. Eggman - Evil)

[personal profile] destroytheblueone 2016-04-16 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm a lot more than that! I'm going to change this world because everyone else here would rather not!" Eggman bellowed. "I spent a year trapped in a computer world that was falling apart and now I'm stuck in another falling apart world? I'm going to make the most of it! And that includes dibs on the house!"
my_bad_self: ((108))

[personal profile] my_bad_self 2016-04-16 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Like hell it is, I at least get my own room and you don't get command of the whole house!"

Akane really hated guys like him. This was going south so fast.

The armor was simple to recognize thankfully, though only meant more trouble. If he got hit by those dark attacks thanks to the blindness, things would only grow more problematic. Taking advantage of the situation, he jumps down, striking with great force to get the vine.

Unfortunately, while he did succeeded in damaging the Malboro, it's vine didn't not fall. This would be tougher than he thought.

"Heal yourself quickly!" he shouted, going on the move again, trying to avoid the bad breath of the Malboro.

( edna turned towards the sound of the voice, not a hint of expression on her blank face as she looked from dylas, then back to her moogle. laying a hand normog's head, she gripped onto him and tossed him in mr. horse's direction. )

Here. ( she said calmly, while the small distressed moogle sailed through the air. ) Just make sure you don't get him dirty.

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!"

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.

For the longest time, Tsubomi had been content on being the only Cure on Crystallis. Of course, that changed when Erika showed up. But, there was certainly no way any one else would show up, would there? That question got answered as she spotted a Moogle race by holding a bunch of mail.

She followed the creature towards its destination, curious as to why it had so much mail... until she spotted their destination: the purple-haired girl before her.

"Y...Yuri...?"
moonlighted: (☾ ...?)

[personal profile] moonlighted 2016-04-17 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Looking up slowly, Moonlight's bangs obscured her view of the other girl's back at first, but finally, when her eyes came into focus... "E... rika?" How had she gotten here? None of this seemed right, and yet, the pounding in her head was doing nothing for her logical reasoning skills.

Pressing a hand to her forehead, she choked back her emotions, reaching forward for the lifeless body of Cologne, just as she had so many times before in her dreams.

"It is you who will be departing soon, Cure Marine!" Dark Precure pointed an accusatory finger towards the newcomer. "None of you will stand in my way!"
moonlighted: (:o)

[personal profile] moonlighted 2016-04-17 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Turning her head at the sound of a familiar voice, Yuri kept hold of the flyer she had been given, with a surprised "Tsubomi?" Well, as surprised as the calm and collected Yuri Tsukikage got, anyway.

"I hadn't expected to find anyone in this strange world," she admitted, not sure if she should he happy — or disappointed. The more of them that were here, well... the less there would be protecting Kibōgahana — and the Heart Tree.
bag_has_snapped: (Tsubomi - Frightened determination)

[personal profile] bag_has_snapped 2016-04-17 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Tsubomi quickly made her way to Yuri, nodding in agreement. "To be truthful, neither had I. I've been here the longest - about a year... a-and Erika's been here for... four months? Maybe?" she let out a soft sigh. "Things have been... rather hectic."
stupid_erika_shenanigans: (pic#9811087)

[personal profile] stupid_erika_shenanigans 2016-04-18 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh shut it!" Snapped back Erika as she cracked her knuckles. "Its you who will be departing! You stupid illusion!"

She smirked. This was a dream right? Her own proved it as such. "You're forgetting something about Yuri-san. She's the strongest of the Heartcatch Precure. BUT! Together we're able to produce infinite power!"

Erika transformed in the span of a heartbeat, as she smiled at Yuri. "Push through, this is a bad memory, and it's always darkest when you forget the present and forget to look to the future."

Phillip Gray the Phone Guy - MS Variant because screw it

[personal profile] voiceinthephone 2016-04-18 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
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!

"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?"

Oh this was a surprise. Normally Minfilia would be happy to see someone who was part of their group come back but this man...well, he was a grump. Tataru the moogle was making faces from behind her as she looked at Eggman flatly, her sword clearly sworn just in case the man tried anything.

"Then I suggest that you do not for the sake of the ones who are giving us the housing." she spoke.

Simply put: first house with decent showers and beds. Like hells he is gonna destroy it after their little camping trip.

Eggman snorted and glared at Minfillia, sword visibility by darned.

"And who's gonna stop me, you? Please! At this point, we're quite even power-wise, so I don't even think you'd stand a chance against a genius like me!"

She's seen Ascians much scarier than him; probably that thought was why she didn't flinch at Eggman's threat.

The appearance of a savior snaps Monica out of her fear-induced paralysis; she takes a couple steps back to let Coppelia do her thing, and to put more distance between herself and that spider.

"I'm fine on healing-- eek!" The spider moves in response to Coppelia's flame, and Monica goes back to being terrified of it again.

"Are we gonna fight it? Should we run?"
