— 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!

"Please, I'm a genius! I could build things much better than this!" Eggman boasted. "And I could build better things back on that continent if we weren't on the run all the time! Like a way out!"

...in other words, he was being full of hot air. As much as she would love to go back to Eorzea herself, there was no way Minfilia would consider leaving this star with what they knew about the Calamity. If it consumes this world, then no others will be safe.

"Then your talents will be useful at the laboratory."

As much as she would love to have Tataru yank on his face hair (and the moogle is grumbling about it quietly), her more political side as well as more...civil side made her realize that violence isn't worth it. They were not in the wild anymore and Minfilia was considering finding some kind of agent to help with the headache she was starting to get.

"As a matter of fact, it would be!" Eggman said. "I mean, have you looked in there? What kind of laboratory just focuses on these?!" He holds up his clear crystal. "There's so much wasted potential everyone's passing up!"

Look, right now, he wants to go into full mad scientist mode and laugh about how he can use Crystals to make himself lightyears ahead of everyone on this planet and take it over, but he's trying his best not to.

[And Dylas catches the poor Moogle. They probably don't appreciate being caught in hands with sharp claws on them, but Dylas isn't thinking about that right now. He has his own questions, though first he's going to stare at Edna.]

...Thanks. [He sounds a little surprised.] Does your Moogle always follow you around like this?

[Dylas' is in the store somewhere. He's just. Ridiculously shy or afraid or something.]

"Mayhap you can suggest projects that could be of help to us."

Besides, he might be a big pain in the arse but Minfilia figured that instead of complaining about doing something, maybe there's room to actually do it. And if it was bad...there were those who can stop him.

"It is of little threat," replied Coppelia. "But if you wish, I will eliminate it."

Her staff spun as she intoned, "Blizzard." And launched a hail of ice at the monster.

"I heard those things are a pain to deal with, and I don't think you have any kind of ailment curing do you?"

Don't mind the sarcasm in his tone as he stepped up to the stranger. Of course, there were too many people here for Yuri to really remember so he wasn't going to pretend like he knew all the names of every single "Hero of Light" he ran into or seen. There is one thing he can do though and that was fight. He was pretty much ready to back up the person if necessary.

They were both in a tight situation and if they fought it things could go south. However deceiving it and running away where it won't get caught up with innocent people would work too. Yuri keeps a hand on his sword as he speaks again.

"So what'll it be: Beating the crap out of it or running for our lives? Either choices are pretty bad if you know anything about these slimy things."

[personal profile] illfatedassassin 2016-04-18 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hei jumped down, striking the Malboro in the back and toppling it over. Briefly of course as it quickly rose, bad breath flowing in his direction. Using his superior speed, he jumped out of range, landing right near Yuri.

"Fight. If we flee now, chances are we'll run into another one anyway."

Not the best choice either, but one was better than two.

Well, that was...pathetic of Phil and he was pretty sure he just hurt someone, another floating teddy bear.

"S-Sorry! Didn't mean to!" he called out to the ailing creature before he sprang to his feet the warrior lady. "Um, sorry Tala, right. I'm fine! My ego's just a little bruised." Along with the sensation that he could've defended himself if he had a dagger or a kitchen knife if he had one. Alas, he's still in his bear-pattern pants and his weaponry was back in Eros.

And that's just great.

"What was that?" He said, looking at the disappearing body.

[personal profile] dammit_flynn 2016-04-21 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yuri proceeded to follow suit to knock it off balance some more since it sounded like they were going to fight it when the guy started speaking again. He supposed there's no real way of going about it. Having to deal with one was less troublesome than dealing with two or more. Who knew if they would call out more of their kind really.

"Sounds like a plan but they're not exactly a walk in the park."

He replied circling from another end.

"...you have weird armor." the moogle quipped as the 'knight' gave her a little glare.

"That was a geezard; usually harmless." The hyur replied calmly, trying to soothe the man with a smile. "I suppose you have the Freelancer job, correct?"

"I'm not a paladin, idiot!" She tried to shout back to whoever the fuck was talking. Instead she just gagged and continued trying to rub this shit out of her eyes.

She could try to drain the enemy if she could see it. Failing that, she just started slashing the air around her blindly, her long wicked sword hissing as it made broad sweeping strokes through nothing.

( there's a shrug on her part ) Most of the time. He does disappear to deliver letters every now and then, I guess. ( she tilts her head, looking at the moogle. ) Or whatever else.

( maybe he just disappears sometimes to get away from edna...
anyway, now that she's getting a good look at this guy, she straightens again, twirling her umbrella on her shoulder. )


Don't you have one somewhere? You are one of those heroes, aren't you? ( you don't quite look like the locals dylas, so... )
sullenstallion: (83)

[personal profile] sullenstallion 2016-04-24 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Right. I was...brought here, too, yeah. Not from here. I'm not from around here.

[His ears flattened, moving back as he delivered an explanation for as to why he had a Moogle. He's not going to call himself a hero, that's stupid. It sounds like something Doug would do. He won't call himself that.]

...I have one, I've just never seen him. That's not normal, right?

[He's just going to look down at the Moogle in his hands. Please, Moogle, tell him why Koporo always leaves things for him to find and talks to him from behind walls instead of showing himself.]

"These are my sleepware pants," Phillip responded meekly to the question before he realized the humiliation. "So...it's the equivalent of a cockroach. I'm terribly sorry to have inconvenienced you."

He almost missed the mention of Freelancer and for a moment, he almost corrected her. But how could he just say what happened in Eros, what he did there? He felt a punch to the gut as he realized that by hiding his work there, he felt he erased his friends and loved ones there. "Sounds about right, though I've had some training by a Rogue."

His own Moogle was just watching from afar, "You were a-" "SHUSH!"

[ 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.]

[ c | e x p l o r a t i o n ]
[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.]

( 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.

Blinking for a moment at Erika's words, she let them sink in as she looked down again at her partner, who started to dissipate as she clutched at her chest.

Hadn't she come so far from this? The friendship and strength in the bonds they had all formed with one another — isn't that what Cologne had truly wanted for her? And here she was, down on her knees in the middle of a fight...

"Your power is nothing compared to mine..." Not liking being told what was what apparently, the Dark Precure brandished her tact. "Darkness will be the one to prevail!"

[personal profile] moonlighted 2016-04-26 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"But how can..." She had just seen the girls before this. To think that they've been here for different times like that... falling into another world really did complicate things, didn't it. Yuri shook her head gently, as though knowing there probably wasn't an answer to that any of them would know anyway.

"What do you mean hectic?" Had Tsubomi and Erika truly assumed the roles of these heroes of light?
terrorfirma: (:|)

[personal profile] terrorfirma 2016-04-26 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
( she's noticing all these little things about you, dylas. those flattening ears, that tail... her stone-faced expression doesn't give any of her concerns away, but somewhere deep down she has to wonder if you've always been, well... like this. )

Probably not. ( maybe the moogle was scared of him. just like others had come to fear eizen... ) They can be pretty annoying though, are you sure you want one that just follows you around all day, like that guy?

Giving Dark Precure a death glare, Erika turned towards Yuri. "Yuri, you've faced this before. You fought as hard as possible to work through the pain, don't let this get to you!"

Well damn, Dark Precure seemed like she was planning on unleash hell. Hopefully, Erika could talk Yuri through this.

"Remember everything we've done together? We became stronger together, and we helped you as you helped us."

"Marine..." Moonlight nearly choked, bowing her head to smother the sob she refused to give life.

"You're pitiful fools... I'll be the one to help you see that!" Holding her corrupted tact high in the air, thunderous red energy began to strike all around her. "Haaaaa— ahhh!" the dark magical girl cried out, aiming the blast straight at Cure Marine without restraint.

But just before the attack would make contact, a flash of bright light shone, enveloping Marine... and seemingly out of nowhere, Moonlight stood guarding her, shielding them both from harm.

"Tch! The Dark Precure spat, as the attack was thwarted.

Turning just slightly over her shoulder, the threat for the moment at bay, Cure Moonlight smiled gently at the younger girl. "Marine... shall we— use the Fortissimo?"

[Hisui tries laughing it off. Can't look too uncool in front of the fairer sex, after all.]

Well, it wasn't too bad of a fall. Nothing seems broken aside from my pride.

[shrugs as he gets up, dusting himself off.]

You got wind of these ruins holding something amazing, too?

"Heck yeah we should!" Exclaimed Erika, pumping a fist into the air. "Lets do this, Yuri! Together!"

Drawing her tact, Erika held it out in front of herself. "Floral Power...!"

Thancred Bladesong | Final Fantasy XIV

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.
