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

Dylas | Rune Factory 4 / Ryslig CR!AU
[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
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.
no subject
[That comes as a surprise to him. He looks confused for a second, honestly unsure as to why anyone would think he's threatening them before he remembers he's got the whole pointy fangs and monster thing going on. While he definitely respects that she stands tall, he does absolutely nothing to help him win favor in the conversation, and insists on talking to her like she's causing some sort of problem, not him.]
Don't say stupid things. I need your Moogle for a second.
[He knows that's not how to ask for a favor, but by now they're both in unpleasant moods, right?]
no subject
[In stark contrast to her unwavering voice, Secundo clutches the mail more tightly and swings his head around to look for an escape route. Maybe...he can make a run for it and Miss Jade will fight off the scary guy.]
Why do you need him? [May as well get some answers.]
no subject
[He's just going to look past her at Secundo. Moogles seem alright, he just continues to lament the fact that his will never show his face and insists on helping from the shadows. It's annoying as hell. He talks past Jade, trying to get Secundo's attention before he runs off.]
I have questions for you.
no subject
[Secundo flutters into the air and flies out of the room and down the hall. To make sure Dylas doesn't try to go after him, Jade jumps in front of his path, still keeping an eye on him.]
no subject
[He does look like he's going to try and follow, but Jade quickly changes his mind. He's not going to just shove a girl over so he can chase after a Moogle. He has some manners, they're just...not very present sometimes when he's annoyed.
Dylas actually looks a little hurt that the Moogle is gone, but whatever.]
I just needed to ask him something, dammit.
[He sounds more exasperated than angry now, and that's because the person he wanted to talk to is gone and he's left with...well, this girl.]
no subject
Why didn't you ask him in the first place? You can't hand over Moogles like they're toys!
no subject
[He clearly didn't think about that. He doesn't think they're toys, of course, but it seemed better to ask the Hero.]
T-that's not important! He's gone now.
no subject
[No one treated one species as belonging to another unless they were kidnappers of human traffickers. In a world where all kinds of aliens live together, this sort of thing is unthinkable to Jade.]
no subject
Maybe your Moogle is just a coward.
5!
Here. ( she said calmly, while the small distressed moogle sailed through the air. ) Just make sure you don't get him dirty.
no subject
...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.]
no subject
( 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... )
no subject
[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.]
no subject
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?
