— 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!

Rose | Tales of Zestiria | OTA
[The end of the world? No problem! Rose is used to that after fighting to save her own. The reality shattering just after she'd escaped Artorius' Throne? Not so much. Just what did it all mean? Was this the end of their road? Was everything that they'd done truly done in vain?
No. Rose refused to believe that. The Moogle who introduced himself as Alvin filled her in on the details of her task in the world of Crystallis. She asked questions as she saw fit but otherwise, she can found near the Fire Crystal studying the crystal that she'd been given and eventually the map of Crystallis.
There was nothing that could be done about it now, she thought as she neatly folded the map and tucked in a pocket of her thief garb. She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly before striding forth from the Fire Crystal and out into Aqures Ixen. Her train of thought is to head for the nearest market and schmooze with the merchants to get some information.
What happens from there all depends on who she runs into.]
3/ Neighborhood Woes
[Rose is sauntering through the assigned housing for the Heroes of Light, intent on finding her temporary lodgings. The market of this city seemed like a good place to try and establish a business of her own. A hub of information if one truly thought about it.]
Now let's see here...
[She saunters up the steps and remember her place as a newcomer in the city, knocks on the door instead of rudely entering without announcing her presence.]
4/ Crystallis de Chocobo
WHOOOOOOOOOOOA!!!
[Rose is used to horses and buggies but Chocobo's were an entirely different ballgame for the merchant. She'd wanted to see more of the continent without having to walk everywhere and was told to rent a Chocobo. The overgrown chickens seemed easy enough to handle and she thought that it would be like riding a horse.
Big mistake.
The first mistake she made was not listening to the shop keeper about her choice in Chocobo so of course she'd gone for the red Chocobo. The second mistake was that she didn't know a thing about Chocobo's, especially that the red ones tended to be very willful, stubborn and difficult to control.]
Where are the brakes on this thing? Whoa! Slow down!
[Would you like to help a newbie out and stop her Chocobo?]
Seifer Almasy | FVIII | Tag: 1
But seriously. This whole thing was harder to understand than Time Compression. When the she-bitch kept whispering about it in his head, he never got it even though he as half-way under her control. But he understood some of it. This snit however? It was a little harder to grasp. The only thing he was getting out of this was the fact that there were other heroes of light here, it was prophesied that they'd come back, and they were meant to save this world.
Well, la-de-freaking-da. He didn't believe one aota about it.
He wouldn't be defined by it either. He already went through one destiny that turned into a bad headtrip, he didn't need to go through a second one but then... there was this part of him that whispered the need to do good, to wipe his hands clean of sticky blood and warm flesh.
Just right now, he needed to find a place to rest for the night.
He breaks from his thoughts, looking up and saw a young red haired woman walking his way. Wouldn't be so bad to converse with someone who wasn't pink and fluffy? Hyne, he really missed Fuu and Rai, even though they weren't the greatest conversationalists. Except, Fujin really could be, when she was in the mood.
He moves toward her, then blocks her way as he hoovers over her but not too close to make her entirely uncomfortable, looking down with a smirk.] Hey there, pretty lady. Where you headed? [He means nothing by it other than being friendly. He suddenly realizes how grateful he is that this isn't his home and he doesn't have to work so hard at being trusted by the civilians he hurt during the war. At least he hopes he doesn't have to.]
I'm so sorry for the late tag! D: RL happened...
I'm heading toward the market to get some more information about this city, the world and its situation.
[She gestured toward Alvin with a kind smile.] This little guy here gave me the gist of the situation but I feel like there's more to this whole thing than what I've been told. Merchants tend to know things that others don't so I wanted to see if there was something else I could find out.
[She had to get all the information that she could in the event that Sorey or any of the Seraph's showed up in this world.]
It's fine! I understand :3
Huh. Wouldn't your moogle be able to do that? [he sent his away and now he was lost without him. He wouldn't be able to find the free housing at this rate.]
You might be onto something there. Care if I tag along? I don't believe much in this destiny business and if you say merchants tend to know things, maybe they'll call bullshit on the whole thing. [At least that's what he wanted to hear, so he could get the hell home.]
#3
So you're the one they sent to replace Aya. You'll be happy to know you've got your own room.
[She automatically presumes that's what Rose is for, because no woman in their right mind would ever pay a visit to her laughably socially stunted roommates Deadpool and Ed. She turns, walking into the house and leaving Rose to enter of her own volition.]
Make yourself at home.
Re: #3
I guess so and thanks for having me.
[Rose quickly pulls off her boots and deposits them in the closet.]
Is there anyone else living here or is it just the two of us?
[No offense Lust, but Rose doesn't want to be left alone with you.]
no subject
There's the alchemist, Ed, and Deadpool, who we've condemned to the basement for our own sanity and peace of mind. For the most part we all keep to ourselves and clean up after ourselves as well. You'll enjoy your privacy, I'm sure.
[She's not paying all that much attention to Rose, circling the couch before she sits down with languid grace and picks up a thick tome, opening it up to her marker.]
