— 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 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. Maybe it's time to get to know your companions in misfortune. Besides, it seems this has occurred past month already-- Maybe some people 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 diplomacy can stop war, you could even start your own researches on the Crystals— Or you could make sure your house is the prettiest in all of Aqures Ixen. Anything is possible.

3/ Neighborhood woes
The government of Aqures Ixen is very sorry, but it seems there are too many of you Heroes of Light. Hence why there is 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 late at night, and hopefully your neighbor isn't a singer who doesn't know how to sing. On the bright side, you may have someone very cool living with you and an artist 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 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 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 some ancient ruins that may hold some precious information. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere that isn't under imperial control; unless you have a death wish of course.

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 Jessie 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 she simply asked you to assist her in her researches on the Crystals. 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 capture a Chocobo during Crystalis de Chocobo, maybe you would have liked to be lost and attacked from all sides in the creepy Magitek Research Facility. Or maybe you would have liked to regain your true power and subsequently be on your path to death, as in The Night of the Thirteen Moogles.

13/ Wild Card

Celes Chere | Final Fantasy VI

[nonchere]

[3.]



All told, Celes was taking her changed surroundings well. Crystallis wasn't much different from her own world, save for a few idiosyncrasies, and while not knowing the whereabouts of the others wasn't ideal, there was something liberating about being in a new place.

That was, until she opened the door to her new home. Was it supposed to look so... lived in? Her bag slung over her shoulder, Celes brought it to her front, tentatively walking inside and looking around before closing the door. Honey, she's home!


[7.]



Bringing a hand up to hold her long blond hair at bay, Celes looked out at the world below her. It wasn't the Blackjack--although she would never let Setzer know how smooth a ride he had--but something about the wind in her hair and the open sky around them felt good. "It's nice," She said to no one in particular, voice likely lost to the wind.


[13.]

((OOC: Hit me up with anything!))

[3.] I had too!

[greenmagick]

Celes?

[Terra appears from the kitchen her green hair pulled up in its usual fashion. She isn't expecting someone to come walking through the door and she is even more surprised to see the woman standing in front of her.]

[3.] =D!

[nonchere]

Celes was momentarily stunned. Terra? What was she doing here? What was she doing in her house? All of that seemed to fade away quite quickly; she could figure that out later. "Terra? What are you doing here?"

Re: [3.] =D!

[greenmagick]

"I was told that I live here."

Her voice was soft and behind her floated a little moogle much like Celes's.

[3.] are you in the game already, or apping in?

[nonchere]

Mogtague, her moogle, had already grown bored with the whole thing, and there was a comfortable spot with his name on it. There was even a cute girl cooking him food, which was even better. Nothing against Celes, but she was way too severe for his tastes so, after watching the two greet each other, the moogle floated off toward the nearest comfortable chair to nap.

A reassured sigh from Celes, and a smile as her body became less tense. Finally, something in this world that didn't perplex or throw her for a loop. "Me too," She said, holding up her key. "I guess that makes us roommates, then."

3 cuz LOL

[misterbrief]

He heard the door open and shut, and his ears perk up. He knew that he might be getting a roommate, and hoped that wouldn't be the case. But it seems lady luck isn't on his side today- not that it ever really is save for extreme cases- and from the kitchen, he yells as loud as he can.

If he doesn't want a roommate, he's going to make sure they don't want to stay.

"Who dares barge in on me like that!? Get out of my house before I blast you!"

3 yo shorty

[nonchere]

What was that obnoxious noise? Why was someone in her house?! Immediately put on the offensive, the taller blond groped for her sword out of instinct. Finding nothing tied at her side, she swore inwardly. Not once did she think it was her mistake--she had the number right, and the key worked. "Is that any way to greet someone?!" She barked back with just as much vigor, and twice as much command and dominance. Commanding units did that for her.

[misterbrief]

"It is when it's an unwanted roommate. Go find a different home to live in."

The chair is heard screeching across the floor as he gets up, walking out to the living room. A hand finds its way up onto the frame of the doorway, looking nonplussed as he stared at her.

"Go on. Tell them to get you a new key and a new place of residence."

[nonchere]

Oh, he was one of those. Celes has dealt with your sort before, Vegeta and, without breaking eye contact, she stepped out of the foyer and placed her back down next to a chair.

It was like training a dog. A pecking order needed to be established. "Not happening," She said, shrugging a shoulder and brushing a few strands of blond hair out of her way. "I don't like it either, but this is my home now. The least you can do is be hospitable."

13

[not_thief]

This is great luck! I never expected we'd be in ANOTHER situation that required you to pretend to be an opera singer!

13

[nonchere]

I can hardly contain my excitement. [Her voice dripping with sarcasm.]

[not_thief]

With all that experience you're practically a pro by now!

[nonchere]

[Oh my God she only screwed up once go to hell Locke.]

I'm glad you have so much faith in me, but I refuse.

3 for sure, hah

[windandrain]

[This is definitely a strange, strange place to be. Made all the stranger by the little white creatures and other odd animals that seemed to just...be...everywhere. Saori wasn't really a stranger to waking up in unfamiliar universes anymore, but having a woman she didn't know just...wander into the kitchen while she was cooking her daily meal was new!

It's actually surprising enough that she nearly jumps out of her skin!]

Who are you?! Why are you in my home!?

end of the semester, just a bit slow

[nonchere]

[Celes stopped when she saw the other woman, nearly jumping herself. Someone else was living here?]

Oh! Sorry, I thought--

I didn't realize someone else was here, I didn't mean to startle you.

[windandrain]

[Saori frowns but sets down the knife that'd appeared in her hand. Or maybe it was just the one she was using to cut fish or...something. Either way this woman probably wasn't a threat, she's just jumpy lately.]

Who are you and why are you in my home?

[nonchere]

[That knife made her a bit nervous, truth be told, although she wagered that she could probably disarm the other woman should it come to it. She sincerely hoped it didn't.]

Oh, right. I'm Celes, I was told I live here now. [She holds up her key for emphasis.]

3-- this one is too easy!

[aerialassault]

The subtle click of a the front door shutting caught the blond's attention from the kitchen and, reluctantly, he set down the ingredients he was working with to go investigate. The fluffy little moogle thing had warned him that he might end up with a room mate sooner rather than later and, while he wasn't opposed to the idea, he wanted to have a little fun in the kitchen before that happened.

It was the first time he had been allowed to play in a kitchen without supervision in years. He wasn't going give up that chance so quickly.

"...I don't recall ordering room service," he said in an almost teasing tone as he leaned up against the door way and regarded the girl with an assessing look. At a height of six feet and five inches, with haphazard splotches of white flour covering his black clothes, he must have made a comical sight for the newcomer!

oh this should be fun

[nonchere]

Mogtague, her moogle, floated in before she did, discovering a rather fluffy-looking couch. His wings were tired from flitting about after his new companion, and a nap sounded really good right about now. Or snacks. Or a nap and snacks. That would be ideal.

He hardly looked up when Cliff came in. Celes, however, stopped near the door frame, brow furrowed. She had been warned that she might be living with someone else, but somehow that hadn't clicked in her mind until just then.

She looked him over, sizing the man up. Tall. Reasonably muscular. A fighter? What was he covered in? An interesting reaction; "You didn't," She smirked, holding up a key. "I think I'm your new roommate."

definitely~

[aerialassault]

Cliff snorted at this, running a hand through his thick, somewhat shaggy hair as he shook his head.

"I had a hunch you'd say somethin' like that," he explained, "And no hard feelings if you wanna back out. Honestly? You look like you're old enough to be my daughter."

After only just arriving in this world, he didn't want to make anyone uneasy. But, at 38 years old, he knew that some discomfort was an inevitability.

[nonchere]

His daughter? Somehow that got a bit of a chuckle from the other blond. She wasn't one to make assumptions, but she doubted he was that old. Still, it would be impolite to make a comment one way or the other, so Celes left it at that.

A shrug and a sigh; "I'm not sure I can, even if I wanted to. At this point, somewhere to lay down and rest for a while sounds great, no matter where it is."

Although Mogtague seemed to have already beaten her to the punch.

#7 because no one else did it :D

[wellnow]

Kuja isn't a stranger to airships. In his time on Gaia he'd become used to them, and Terra's own technology was far more advanced. This was nothing compared to the Invincible, but ...well, he could admit he enjoyed it.

The wind blowing through his hair wasn't so kind, however. When it blew Celes's hair back it blew his own forward and into his face. Letting out an irritated noise, Kuja tried straightening it, keeping the feathers he wore as straight as he could. Perhaps tying it back in this sort of weather would be more favorable. Maybe a hat, too? Something...

Dragging his nails gently through his hair, he catches eye of the blond. "Lovely, isn't it?" Is he being sarcastic...? It's hard to tell.

put on some clothes you damn hippie

[nonchere]

Thankfully for him, Celes didn't seem to notice Kuja's severe hair foo-pah, glancing over her shoulder at him as he spoke. Had it not been the voice, she might have thought he was a woman, from his mannerisms to his appearance.

If he was being sarcastic, the sentiment was lost on her, as the woman pushed a few pieces of hair behind her ear, continuing to look out at the horizon. "It's different." Her tone wistful, the words felt a bit heavy. That was the only way she could describe it. Her world had this kind of charm and beauty at one point, but she hardly appreciated it.

You don't control my life!!

[wellnow]

He turns his head a little, so the wind blows against his face instead, and straightens it out as best as he can with some finger combing. Despite his delicate features and his clothing, his growing pout isn't really that flattering. He sets his hands on his hips after fixing his hair and looks out across the horizon.

"Different? You don't sound so sure."

Kuja really likes figuring out how people tick, to know how to dance around them and use them as he saw fit. That took a bit of acting like he cared.

[nonchere]

She should have expected there would be some kind of follow-up and, breaking eye contact with the pale-haired man in front of her, Celes began to stare off at the horizon again.

"It's complicated." Her world looked very similar to this one, before it was nearly destroyed. She was being nostalgic was all.
