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. 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/ Ukulele 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-Bait© so you can go and capture your own. 4/ 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. 5/ 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. 6/ 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. 7/ 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! 8/ 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. 9/ 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. 10/ Wild Card Don't like the options offered here? Go crazy and choose what you want to do in this world!

Maggie | Final Fantasy XIV

[doyoubelieveinmagitek]

((ooc: pardon the lack of icons, but for these threads, Maggie will be portrayed by a 5 year old girl rather than her usual Magitek Armor chassis))

1) Welcome to the world of Crystallis!

Maggie was enraptured as she listened to the explanation given to them by the moogles. At first she was worried to find herself in this body, but now they were talking about her being a legendary hero or something.

She could be a hero! Just like Mommy! She looked sooooo cool when she fought Ultima weapon. Maybe she could get nice and strong like Mommy was and fight off huge dragons and things too! Saving the world was going to be great!

Turning around, the little girl waved to everyone around her, nearly toppling over in the process. It was going to be rough getting used to this smaller body. "H-hi everyone! M-my name is Ma-maggie! I'm a mmmmark-14 magitek assault unit! It's n-nice to meet you all!" Talking was going to take some practice too.

7) Random Encounter -

Maggie clutched her sword tightly in her small grip. This squirrel she was fighting was tough. It was a big thing, but it was moving so fast that it was that much harder to hit!

Mommy always made this look so easy! Fending off three Garlean soldiers at once with her spear while her chocobo handled the healing. Maggie wished she could join in the fights too, but Uncle Cid made her promise not to fight or else it would hurt her systems. Now that she had a new body she thought that it would be safer.

Instead, the young girl was getting bruised and scratched as she did her best to fight this thing. Oh! If only she could use her cannon! Then this would be over so much faster!

7 - Random Encounter

[shinrasfinest]

Luckily for Maggie she wasn't so far out from the beaten path. Sephiroth had taken the relatively short trek out to the Chocobo farm in the morning and was quickly getting accustomed in how to ride these giant birds. Chocobo riding had hardly been a necessary skill where he'd come from, where the company had always provided the means of transportation for him to get around. He didn't think he was doing so bad, considering.

Upon seeing the small figure of a girl, with a sword as well, confronting what looked to be only the equivalent of a large squirrel Sephiroth brought the chocobo to a halt nearby.

His job as a Dragoon assisted the long, high leap he made from the roadside into the battle behind the squirrel, but- somewhat still adjusting to the different weaponry available- Sephiroth's sword clipped only the tip of it's tail away. The animal squealed accordingly and spun to face the new opponent.

What was with that? Sephiroth was certain that he had the technique to have taken the small creature out with one easy strike-

Semih Lafihna | Final Fantasy XI

[sibylguardcpt]

[2]
((ugh what is canon review If you are a FFXI PC, they might be familiar with one another! Especially if you're Windurstian! Otherwise... well there was that Rank 3 mission... or RNG AF things... \o_O/))

Among the new arrivals, Semih Lafihna is of the variety that isn't adjusting well. It isn't that Moogles are strange to her, or even the new world, but it's the sudden separation from Windurst that eats her alive. What of Heavens Tower? What of the Star Sibyl? How will the guard shuffle around to make up for her lacking presence?

It isn't that she thinks they can't function without her, but...

The Archer sighs. She needs a job, but she's no mercenary. She won't stoop to that level. Still... well. Personal Bodyguard, she could do that. She has the experience. Maybe work her way into the local law enforcement in time, once she gets a better understanding of the area and its people.

So there's a mithra wandering about the streets of Aqures Ixen posting fliers of "Personal Bodyguard for Hire: Please Contact Semih Lafihna." Her Moogle flutters nearby, mostly having trouble putting up the fliers by himself.

What has her life become...

[grandsummon]

Walking through the streets was as good a starting point as any to get familiar with the place, wasn't it? Most of the writing that they used in their advertisements wasn't something Yuna was used to, but it was close enough to Spiran that with just a little more concentration, was definitely legible. With more practice it would come easier, she was sure.

Which is why she took the time to read over any fliers that she came across, hoping that one or two might offer her a clue as to the current situation, as well as how to get back home.

"Personal... boyguard," she softly spoke aloud to herself.

Sephiroth | Final Fantasy VII (Pre-Crisis)

[shinrasfinest]

[5- I believe I can fly~]

I'm not so convinced that this is a dream any more.

He hadn't woken up yet from it, and the same was a thought now cropped up again into the forefront of Sephiroth's mind, as he rested forearms against the railing on the deck of the Airship with one hand firmly grasping the Map that his moogle had given him. The currents of air whipped strands of silver hair out and away from his face as he surveyed the horizon, yet they were not yet at an altitude where the wind might pick up more. It felt odd still, to wield a shorter sword which was sheathed at his belt and the red-armored attire of his Primary job really was going to have to take some getting used to.

The first few days he had spent within Aqures Ixen had somewhat bled into each other. There was so much to discover within the extensive districts, each which had their respective functions in a far more specific way than any of the sectors of Midgar were coming together back home. But today was a day for branching out, apparently this Airship would take them to Aerilon where -he had heard all too eagerly from people within Aqures- that there might be some opportunity for better equipment there. Heroes needed the best equipment, after all. Always, always with the moogle whom had approached him upon his arrival at the Fire Crystal. The small, stout bundle of lighter pink fur peered up over it's small glasses from the side of him, if a few careful feet from the edge of the railing itself.

"You shouldn't lean too far out, kupo. You might lose your map."

Sephiroth turned his head to his small companion, as if to appraise for the hundredth-or-so time the fact that the moogle existed, and that his small companion would never leave his side. After a long moment, Sephiroth stood back up straight and took a step back from the edge.

"You're right. Maybe we should go inside."

[zackthepuppy]

The memories of his old training was still there but the armor was certainly heavy of the paladin that he became. The metallic clanking didn't help with stealth at all which would prove a challenge. Oh well, it wasn't like he used stealth all that much. He looked around and explored a bit in the airship with a grin and excitement while he asked a bunch of questions to the crew now and then.

He was called a hero which boosted his ego tremendously. With his chest puffed with pride, he stepped through the ship with the widest grin. He walked through the porthole toward the weather deck to get some air and to check out the scenery. His moogle finally caught up to the zippy Zack, her chest heaved as she panted.

"Slow down, kupo!"

Zack turned his head to address the floating creature and grinned. "If I do that, I won't see everything." Zack kept his pace quick.

The moogle sighed and her bobble dropped. Her stubby arms couldn't express the exasperation she wanted. "But--oh nevermind, kupo."

Just like that, it was out of Zack's mind to ask and soon he spotted Sephiroth but he looked different. Was it really Sephiroth? He canted his head and stepped forward though his armor was making his presence known. The long silver hair was telling of the hero he knew of in legend from Gaia but this was still Gaia, wasn't it? Apparently not and Zack was oblivious. He thought it was just another strange testing scenario with his senses suppressed. Well, this was new.

"Hey! I didn't know you were a part of this simulation too. Do you like it?" He grinned with his hands on his hips. "I'm ready for this."

His moogle sighed again and shook her head. "Kupo! Zack, this isn't a dream, kupo!"

Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy 7 (Pre Crisis)

[neverfirstclass]

5) I believe I can fly~ -

This was a bad idea. This was an AWFUL idea. Zack had offered to ride with him, but no, he just HAD to take the airship instead. He was so excited about the prospect of gaining a new job that he decided to try to prove himself.

The spikey haired blonde charged up to the deck, slamming the door open and dodging around the other people who had gathered there. He hadn't spotted anyone he recognized, but that was only a tiny bit of armor for his pride as he ran for the rail and voided his stomach out into the air below.


8) Getting Jobs is hard!

When he had been asking how to get stronger, Sephiroth had suggested practicing his magic skills. He didn't want to admit it, but he probably had a good point. His physical skills were decent, but he wanted to find a way he could better support him and Zack. Fighting by their side would be good, but some more mage power couldn't hurt, even as a backup skill set.

Still, Cloud had his doubts about the mission he was given before he was going to be taught how to become a summoner. Sneaking into a dungeon full of Tonberries was bad enough, but retrieving something called the "Paintbrush of Souls"? Tonberries weren't artists! They were vicious little murder machines! Why would they even have something like that!

He frowned as he peered down the stairs leading into the worn and overgrown temple before looking back at his traveling companions, "So...what should we do?"

((ooc: or feel free to suggest another :D ))

8 - Getting Jobs is hard!

[shinrasfinest]

Sephiroth was in the process of making sure that their chocobo were secured at a safe distance from the temple itself; it wouldn't do for them to run off while he was adventuring with Cloud and besides, they were on hire.

The tall silver haired man looked over to Cloud as he looked back and asked the question. He gave a look that almost spoke it's own answer, it wasn't as if he were the Jobs-expert just yet and hadn't had chance to take out his map to make sure that they were in the right place yet.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts

[seasaltkeys]

[Number 2]

Okay, he's in a new world, he's got a crystal and he's been on the receiving end of a moogle's infodump. Most of the information had flown right over Roxas's head since he was still dealing with the sudden change in location. But it wasn't where he was so he'd take it.

It hadn't taken Roxas long to start exploring, since the world was so different from Twilight Town. He soon found himself at the Chocobo ranch, the large birds being a bit of a draw. He'd never seen anything like them.

He leans on the fence, watching them run around in the field, and wondering how to approach one.]

O.O

[derpblade_wielder]

[Ven is exploring this strange new world when he comes across his face. It can't be?! He follows the boy to the ranch watching him curiously. Maybe the boy is from here?]

Hey!

yuna | ffx + duodecim

[grandsummon]

[ 3 ] ukulele de chocobo
Well, there wasn't much use in sitting still and contemplating just how she'd gotten here... And while she knew that 'the plan' had been to stay in one place if they had gotten separated from one another, but -- well -- she'd been learning lately that sometimes the best laid plans didn't really work out. Maybe it was that same blond influence that prompted the summoner to approach the nearby chocobo corral and inquire as to how to obtain a mount.

She'd just undergone chocobo training recently in the Calm Lands, really. And as she swung her legs over the great bird's saddle, her status as a novice seemed to become all the more obvious. "Woah--" she chided gently, trying to get a feel for the reigns. "There we are, nice and easy..."


[ 6 ] exploration
A whistle sounded loudly from her lips. Well, she had to try, right? There was a sinking feeling in the pit of Yuna's stomach. This hadn't been the first whistle she'd attempted, but she was on higher ground now, trying to get a better view of the land. Maybe... maybe there was a chance he could hear it from up here?

The brunette frowned, she had yet to see a familiar face since she'd... arrived in this place. Just... what had happened to everyone?

Looking down at the world below, none of it seemed real. How had Spira disappeared right from under her feet and turned into... this?

6

[thricenamed]

In a strange new world such as this one, alone without her friends, it's only logical for Garnet to go looking for a better view herself. Not to listen for someone, no, but to try to get a better idea of how vast this place was. If her companions were here as well, she needed to find them.

But as she makes her way upward, it's the whistling that catches her attention first, and she walks a bit of a ways to find the source.

A woman? "Oh. I didn't think anyone else would be up here."

Wakka, Final Fantasy X (HD) | 7 / Random Encounter

[blitzplay]

[ Sin is done. And Tidus is gone. It'd been hard to watch his best friend disappear in front of his eyes, the urge to rush forward, give him a last hug, ruffle his hair one last time. But that moment was Yuna's. He wouldn't dare to take it for himself.

The world bleeds away afterwards. It seems smaller, less bright. Wakka manages, puts on a face for Lu, tells her he's fine, smiles, laugh it off like always. That'd been the second time Lulu hugged him hard, like that time at the Auroch's changing rooms.

He'd gone to bed that night in Besaid, words unsaid and corners of his eyes moist. But he'd been so exhausted, emotionally and physically, from everyone and everything that had happened, that no nightmares had come that night. Only a deep, dreamless sleep.

Which is why Wakka can't rationalize walking up not in Besaid, but some random field. ] Is this some kind of joke, ya? [ Wakka jumps up, fist shaking indignantly in the air. ] Where's Lu!? [ His head shakes to and fro dramatically, eyes wide, getting nervous. ] Oh geez, I really don't like this dream... [ Well, whoever or whatever's responsible had the decency to dress him and equip his Blitzball before they sent him to this strange plane.

But they also chose to send fiends after him, so what gratitude Wakka felt at first quickly dies. ] Go away, dammit!

[grandsummon]

( out from seemingly nowhere there's a cure spell headed wakka's way. jogging as fast as she could, she clutched her staff tightly in one hand as she made her way over, that orange tuft of hair standing straight up like that... it could only belong to one person!

yuna's heart was beating so hard it felt like the rest of her chest was hollow. it was wakka, it really was! breathless by the time she made to his side, she stopped just short and began to conjure another spell. she hadn't been in earshot to hear his distress over lulu's whereabouts, but she felt the need to let him know he wasn't alone all the same... ) I-- I'm here!

Zelda I The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[goddessofthesky]

1.) Zelda hadn't known what she would see once she stepped through the portal. She gave Link his best chance and it was up to him now. Her hand clutched her heart as she welcomed the void around her. She hadn't expected the crystal or the city that now laid sprawled before her.

This had to be her next test sent from the goddess. The moogle flies next to her giving her a happy hello. "What are you?" She listens to the moogles rant. She understand but something seems off. She wasn't the hero. It was Link, wasn't it?

She beings to walk thinking through her new place in this strange world.

3.) Zelda wasn't ready to ride but looking at the chocobo's brought back the feeling of home. They were similar to the loftwings, though they couldn't fly. She stars on dreamily thinking of the home she wanted to save.

3.)

[shinrasfinest]

Nearby Sephiroth was surveying the outdoor paddock of chocobo's after having settled the terms of hire with the Farmer. As with everyone else in this dream, the general populace were all too willing to go out of their way to provide the 'Heroes of Light' with whatever they required. Be it food, equipment, or even in this case a chocobo to explore with.

All punctuated with their gratitude and lip-service to the prophecies of old.

He spotted Zelda, a little further off down the small fence and approached her. It seemed he wasn't the only one looking to hire one of the flightless birds today. Sephiroth still didn't much like the idea, having never ridden one before, but Spencer had sold them to him as the best mode of transportation for exploring.

"So, which one are you looking at?"

Numair Samalín | The Immortals Quartet | Literally first time playing him jsyk

[treespeople]

[Look it really doesn't matter where you find the six foot tall mage. Chances are he is asking his poor put-upon Moogle all the questions about Crystallis he can and taking notes.

Because what else is he going to do? The gods aren't answering and his magic isn't working so that just leaves asking questions (which really, that's worrying but it may be some strange dream. He hopes it is).

So yes, come run into Numair. Save his poor Moogle. Be bombarded with questions.]

[crystalheaded]

You are new to this world as well. [ It seems obvious enough that Agnès doesn't state it as a question, but she does state it aloud, looking up at the taller mage for confirmation. She's not sure what help she can offer, but it does seem like he's in need of it. ]

Rikku | FFX-2

[pickinurpockets]

[4]

[Poor Rikku. She is on the ground surrounded by Moogles, including her own, each of them either handing her a letter or trying to deliver some voice message all at once. She's got her head in her hands.]

Ooh, I knew I shouldn't've gotten out of bed today...

[whereishe]

[Yuna couldn't help but laugh as she sees Rikku in the center of a circle of moogles. She quickly runs over and grabs Rikku's hand to pull her out of the swarm.]

You alright?

Tiz I Bravely Default

[myhomeisahole]

4.) [Tiz is still surprised by this new world. The flash of light finally does something different but now he can't find the others. He is look at him moogle with dismay as the little marshmallow brings him letter after letter.]

Come on. I need to find the others.

It's Agnes', we are looking for Agnes'.

7.) Tiz jumped to the side as the monster strikes down at him. He gives the thing a smirk as he slices down with his sword. "Got you!"

7

[aeromancer]

Why can't she use earth?

Why can't she use earth?

Why can't she use earth!?

Ugh, it's so weird to only be able to use three of the four elements. At least her favorite one was still there. But this magic was...weird. Different. More limited than what she was used to. Well. She'd have to improvise.

"Hey you!" she called out. "Yes, you with the pointy thing. How about moving so I can finish that monster off before it rips your stomach open?"

Already, the three foot tall newly job assigned black mage is charging a Thunder spell in her hands.

Rogue Cheney | Fairy Tail

[shadowdrive]

[ 7 – Random Encounter ]

[In the end, so Rogue has discovered, this realm isn't too different to Earthland – there are job requests, there is magic, there are monsters, bandits and/or other beings that warrant being taken out and if they already decide to ambush him on the road, then Rogue is glad to teach them their better. While that would be much easier with his own magic or weapon at least, Dragon Slayers are nothing if not adaptable.

The spear is still an unfamiliar weight in his hands, but the speed and agility of Jump is not; his blood racing in anticipation of the battle ahead and smirking just a little as the Shadow Dragoon descents upon his unfortunate prey.]


[ 5 – I believe I can fly ]

[Did someone say motion sickness? Because well... there's this guy curled up in the shadows of the sails somewhere on the top deck, ignoring the moogle hovering at his shoulder while Rogue decides that this definitely wasn't one of his smarter ideas. (Though to be fair, with all of his Dragon Slayer magic gone, the conclusion that his incompatibility with all things transportation - safe Frosch, who doesn't really count - could have vanished as well, hadn't seemed so far fetched at the time.)

It's not quite as bad as he is used to from back home – he is dizzy, his ears are ringing and his stomach keeps twisting unpleasantly, but he hasn't thrown up yet and the world hasn't tilted sideways like it usually feels it does, so there is that at least. Of course, overall he'd rather have the full deal of it in exchange for his own magic, but well... for now he'll take what small blessings he can get.]

Sun Wukong | RWBY

[monkeystowaway]

[Well, Sun expected for all of this to be some sort of strange dream. Much to his surprise, it wasn’t. He woke up here, yet again, with no clear way of getting home. At this point, he couldn’t help but believe that all of this was real. He’d been taken from her world, brought here, and now he was being viewed as some kind of hero that is supposed to save the world.

It’s a pretty big thing to be expected of him, and he wasn’t entirely sure that he could live up to that kind of expectation. But time would just have to tell. It didn’t seem like he was going to leave this place for a long while, if ever.

So living up to the standard of heroism that was expected from him, Sun stole some fruit on his way to finding a nice spot in the city where he could sit down. He ended up seated on a branch in a tree in the city, peering down at all the people passing by as he held a peeled banana with his tail. He brought it to his mouth and took bike.]

I guess this situation could be worse than it is.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas had spent much of his time exploring. The city's not too out of the ordinary as far as he's concerned. Magic and moogles are things he's used to.

People with tails, however, count as something out of the ordinary. And hadn't he heard someone shouting about something like that?

So Roxas is staring up at Sun rather curiously. Was this the guy?]

I dunno. I think you have people looking for you.

Ben Tennyson | Ben 10: Omniverse | 3

[behoove]

[Giant chickens! Ben isn't surprised to see them, having spent a good chunk of his life interacting and sometimes living with aliens. Rather, he's extremely excited and can't wait to get his hands on one. They don't seem to fly, what with their large bodies and small wings, but he can't wait to ride one. Had he bothered to listen to the fluffy white thing in the beginning, or the old man, he would already this information. Ben isn't always the listening type.]

Alright, here we go.

[Against the old man's advice, Ben pulls himself up and over the fence and into a Chocobo pen. The birds seem not to care which is all well and good for Ben, who sneaks up behind one of the bigger ones. Without anything to lose, he leaps for its back and lands successfully, but the creature startles and takes off, causing the other birds to shriek and scatter.]

Whoa!

[He holds onto its neck tightly and struggles to balance, but when the Chocobo takes an abrupt turn, his body hangs over its side and begins to drag the Chocobo down. The creature carries him once, twice, three times around the pen before making one last sharp turn. The bird falls onto its side, with Ben pinned underneath its weight, coughing and gasping. After some intense thrashing it rights itself and Ben scrambles to his feet, winded and extremely relieved. He sighs, all of his muscles relaxing, before looking up at the Chocobo.

They share a long, hard look before the bird begins squawking, and suddenly Ben is shrieking himself, running from a small group of enraged chickens.]

This is not how I thought this would go!

[charlottejonathan]

[This, too, is Charlotte's first time on a chocobo. But she actually listens to the old man, so she'd actually managed to do an easy loop around the pen with her chocobo, her moogle, Mogsy, happily perched on the chocobo in front of her.

But when the commotion in another part of the pen reaches her ears, she turns her head to look.]

Oh no! That looks bad!

[Thinking quickly, she pulls at the reins, changing the bird's course towards the group of enraged chickens, intending to chase them off with her own.]

Go!

Garnet 'Dagger' Til Alexandros XVII | Final Fantasy IX

[thricenamed]

1 - Welcome to the world of Crystallis!

Garnet had quickly set to work trying to find out more information.... or better yet, her companions. They had all been together before this, so perhaps they would be here as well.

Her moogle was not being the most helpful navigator, though. It seemed hers had a rather poor sense of direction. "Oh....! But I'm sure we've passed this building before. Are you sure?" They've passed it three times, in fact. The moogle protests the questioning of his sense of direction, but the girl he's leading has her brows furrowed as she glances around, before approaching someone nearby.

"Excuse me, but do you know the way to the center of town?"

[tactlesstactician]

That someone nearby happens to be busying himself with studying something in a window display, and he frowns upon being disturbed. He turns his head, fixing Garnet with a steady, cold gaze, appraising her for a second or two before answering.

"North along this road then east when you reach the flower shop. Didn't your - moogle give you a map?" He spares a glance at her fluffy companion (his own is still looking into the window) before shifting his crimson eyes back to her.

Soren | Fire Emblem 9 / 10

[tactlesstactician]

{ option 1 }

It's a bright, sunny, warm day with a lovely breeze. It's a wonderful day to be out and about, albeit a little bit warm to be wrapped up in stuffy mage robes - especially black ones. But that's exactly what one scowling young man is doing. Seated on a bench somewhere (park, outside a building, whatever - your call), wrapped up in black robes with the sun beating down on dark hair (in the sunlight, it glimmers dark green), Soren looks decidedly uncomfortable. Of course, part of this is that he is not a very large person, and he's got some large thick tome on complicated magical formulas propped carefully on his legs. Oh and the fact that he's frowning probably doesn't help this image of discomfort. His moogle looks bored, too, fluttering in lazy circles, watching passersby.

That said, as much as this boy looks like he needs a distraction and to be poked into going somewhere cool or at least losing a layer or two, tread carefully... the boy's got quite a sharp tongue.

{ option 2 }

Soren has never much cared for travel by boat, and airship isn't much better in principle. Still, even he can't deny that the view from the deck is something else. Leaning against the railing, gazing out at the countryside below. There's something peaceful and soothing about being up here, so removed from everything.

The only downside is that there are some rainclouds ahead, so this flight won't be quite so peaceful and dry very soon...

quietly shrieking

[adventurine]

Hazel really doesn't like feeling like she's standing out like a sore thumb, but the clothes of her "Job" are ridiculous for this kind of weather. As such, her purple SPQR t-shirt, jeans, and riding boots are back on thanks to her Moogle. Something familiar is also a big plus right now. She's not used to being...well...normal. She feels cut off from the earth at her feet, and it's not exactly a feeling she likes. It's disorientating, and as if a big part of her suddenly isn't there right now.

To distract herself from that feeling, the daughter of Pluto goes to see if any of her friends from home are around. That's about when she sees a kid, maybe a few years older than she is, sitting on a bench without shade. Something about his expression, and certainly the way he dresses in all black, reminds Hazel of her brother somewhat. That and he also looks uncomfortable sitting there, baking in the sun. She decides to help him out, with the hopes that he's an actual person and not this world's version of a Greek/Roman monster in disguise. Although, she supposes he isn't a monster if he's got a Moogle with him. Monsters would just eat them, right...?

"Hey, kid," she drawls out in her Louisiana accent, making a couple careful steps toward the boy and trying to be non-threatening, "You doin' alright over there?"

Charlotte Aulin | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

[charlottejonathan]

[ 6!! Exploration ]

[There's just something about ruins. Or maybe it's just something about buildings that happen to be vaguely castle shaped. There isn't a lot of information about this one, though, and while she's more than confident in her abilities, she can't deny that what she can do in this world is... limited.

And it's always a good idea to have a partner to watch her back.

Taking a seat on a rock in a lovely, verdant field a short distance away, she considers her options. She could return to town and find someone, but the nearest hub of civilisation is quite a distance away. It could take a while. Or she could...

If she sees someone passing through, she won't hesitate to flag them down with a wave, her moogle fluttering behind her.]

[crystalheaded]

[ There is something about castle-shaped ruins, yes. In that they tend to be fairly large, and at least a little distinct from their surroundings, and...

Agnès is just hoping that perhaps if she starts over from there, she'll finally be able to figure out where she is. It's a very good thing Tiz and Datz and Zatz and Ringabel and Edea have all taught her about tips for wilderness survival, because she's been out here for...this marks the third day of being lost. Words cannot express how relieved she and her moogle are to see another pair adventuring; even as she enthusiastically waves, her moogle is zooming straight over, chittering in happy kupos. Agnès flushes and tries to make her approach a bit more moderate, calmer. ]

Zidane Tribal | Final Fantasy IX

[heroicmonkey]

[ 4 ]

[ He's sitting among a pile of letters and looks less than thrilled. Seriously though where did all these come from...

His moogle looks equally distressed, running around and tossing the letters about. ]

I don't think all of these for me, actually... [ So far none of them have his name on it... but his moogle delivered them all to him. Now it appeared to be frantically trying to find the one letter than might've been addressed to him specifically.

Zidane sighs and picks up another letter. .... Nope. Still not for him. ]

[charlottejonathan]

Whoa, what a mess, kupo!

[A moogle flutters over to perch on a nearby bench, his owner striding into view. Charlotte's dressed in the job of a red mage, though she has quite a tome carried under her arm. Giving her moogle an admonishing glare, she says--]

Mogsy! Don't be rude!

[She shoots the stranger and his moogle a smile.]

Would you like some help?

Luke fon Fabre (game transplant edition) | Tales of the Abyss

[headfons]

3/ Ukulele de Chocobo
After deciding to give the, uh...'chocobos' a try, Luke found himself at a farm. He'd been told that the person in-charge would be there, soon, so to just wait in the barn. Minutes later, he'd found himself checking out the stalls. Tilting his head, he was immediately crouching down and peeking through the bars at some of the smaller, yellow birds. A curious hand drifted closer to one of the smaller ones- big mistake.

Apparently the young bird was Asch in bird form in a bad mood, because it was pecking at his fingers, "Wha-?! Hey!"

With that, his moogle helpfully explained that, sometimes, the younger chocobos didn't like strangers. Luke sighed, but quietly moved that information to the back of his mind for later. Glancing down at his apparently-permanent companion, the replica casually began asking questions about the chocobos. Folding his arms over his chest, he was idly tapping the flute on his shoulder, listening quietly to each answer the furry creature was able to offer. Well, he couldn't offer much information, but...it was enough. Smiling lightly, he thanked the small creature.

Also, for the first time, since his arrival, he was genuinely grateful for his new abilities. It was thanks to the speed and reflexes that he was able to easily avoid that powerful beak. After giving a frown at that thought, he sighed and stood. Yeah, suddenly he was...not so sure how eager he was to ride one of those things...

~*~

Which increased after finding out he'd have to actually catch one, himself. Standing on the outskirts of the farm, he rested a hand on his hip staring out into the open field. After receiving the bait and explanation, he'd been sent on his way. Head tilting to the side, the redhead's expression made it clear there was a bit of excitement regarding the challenge. After a brief moment of thinking on it, there was something cool about the idea of catching his own mode of transportation.

[[OOC: Feel free to have someone approach during any point!]]

9/ The world is subject to unrelenting pain and suffering…
He wasn't sold, yet, on the whole...blitzball thing. While it was cool to watch, he didn't feel exceptionally compelled to join in on playing. What he did enjoy, however, was that game called Triple Triad. That game had proven to be, on some level, addictive...

Not to mention, he'd managed to become fairly decent at it. With practice, he'd managed to form a pretty awesome deck. Grinning lightly, he tucked his cards back into his pocket and thanked the person for a fun game. He wasn't one to brag; but, on the same note, he certainly did not mind winning.

Deciding to take a break from his...break, Luke realized he was actually pretty hungry. Time to go find something to eat!

9! :D

[selphie_t]

So far, Selphie hadn't had much luck in finding any familiar faces but her moogle, Libra had kept her company so she didn't feel very lonely. The duo had spent the day wandering the city, getting a lay of the land when she spotted a familiar game and someone with skill at the came that could rival the members of Card Club. The perky brunette watched him play a couple rounds before plucking one of the cards off the table and smiling fondly.

"Huh. I was never very good at Triple Triad," she admitted conversationally. "Maybe because the kids I tried to play with all cheated? Oh well! What's done is done, right?"

She offered the card to him with a cheerful smile before sitting down across from him. "There's different sets of rules for Triple Triad so be careful."

Selphie Tilmitt | Final Fantasy 8 | Post Missile Base

[selphie_t]

1/ Welcome to the World of Crystallis!

Selphie wasn't entirely certain what was going on around her. One moment she was standing with her friends waiting for their inevitable destruction. The next, her world was fading away, like she'd been sucked into a black hole. It wasn't long after wandering through this black void that she came across a glowing red crystal. She reached out for it and with it grasped tightly in her hands before finding herself in unfamiliar territory.

The perky brunette's eyes were awash with a mix of despair, confusion and curiosity. She looked down at the crystal in her hands and noticed the change in clothing. Her customary yellow jumper was gone and replaced with a bizarre red and white outfit. She doesn't register the sight of a moogle hovering around her head before she's looking for a place to be alone for a few minutes. There were a million different scenarios running through her mind at a rapid-fire pace as she sinks to the ground in a nearby alley she'd run to.

She placed the crystal in her lap before curling her arms around her knees and hugged them tight to her chest. The hat on her head was handy for hiding her face from view as she took, several deep, ragged breaths before she stared up and looked at the worried moogle who placed a tiny hand on her shoulder.

"Cheer up, kupo! Welcome to Aqures Ixen," the little creature said gently. "I'm Libra and I'm here to help you. I have some things to tell you, so listen up!"

Selphie nodded numbly but listened closely to every word Libra had to say. It seemed that Selphie had been given the job of Red Mage and was expected to say this world when she couldn't even save her own. How could she save this world? Just what in the world was going on?

"Come on, Kupo!" The little Moogle demanded. "We've got work to do!"

Selphie followed Libra and vice versa. The perky brunette however, was quiet and curious, listening for any sign that Squall and the gang may be there.

Zojja | Guild Wars 2

[aeromancer]

[1]

"Those no good, incompetent, skritt-brained...bookahs!"

What appeared to be a very odd looking Tarutaru was standing in the middle of town, clearly in some sort of rage. She should have known better. She should have known better than to blindly use a supposedly "improved" gate made by some krewe consisting of morons fresh out of Statics.

"When I get my hands on that snot nosed leader of theirs..."

She strangled the thin air in front of her. Undignified? Perhaps, but she was angry and it wasn't like there were any other asura around to see.

"As for you..." she whirled around and pointed a clawed finger at the moogle hovering a few inches away from her. "I would like an explanation and I would like it now. And then I would like you to go away and stop following me everywhere. It's creepy."

[charlottejonathan]

"Me?" Mogsy pointed a tiny paw to himself, before shaking his head rapidly. "I haven't been following you at all, kupo!"

"Mogsy!"

At the sound of Charlotte's voice, the moogle flapped over to hide behind the stranger. "Help!" he squeaked, as a girl dressed as a red mage came striding over, a heavy tome tucked under one arm and a few musty scrolls tucked under the other.

Grell Sutcliff | Kuroshitsuji

[redcinemareel]

4) Okay, so Moogles were a thing that took some getting used to. No big deal. However, it was becoming one when it returned with a sack of letters. Grell looked to both the Moogle and the sack with an eyebrow raise. She hadn't been around long enough for THAT much mail!

"Are these fan letters?" How could she not think her reputation was beyond her expectations? She began to sift through the mail, while her Moogle simply stands by, playing with some ball it had.

[horrific]

Whoa! Airy herself got a lot of letters (Lord knows from who, though), but her pile is nothing compared to this primadonna's. The little fairy circles around Grell's head before fluttering over the bulging sack, peering into it.

"You have so many!" she notes in awe. "What did you do to earn such popularity? Are you perhaps some kind of idol or performer?"

She had mentioned fan letters, so Airy assumed that was the case since on Luxendarc, idols were said to be the recipients of letters and gifts from their fans.

Terra l Final Fantasy 6

[greenmagick]

4.) Terra was happily surrounded by moogles. She loved them all and they greeted her with happy smiles. Her own moogle sat on her lap as she talked to the floating marshmallows.

She hadn't noticed many of the people only because the moogles grabbed all her attention.

Inspector Hildibrand | Final Fantasy XIV

[hildibrand]

[Hildibrand cares not for your prompts!

No, really, the moment he arrives in this strange new world, he promptly ignores (in a polite, gentlemanly fashion) any attempts to guide or direct him, so great is his need to immediately explore. His assistant is not here, a distressing fact, but more importantly, just look at this place! There's so many people, so many... strange people, like seriously, are those moogles? Those are real? And what outlandish clothing the Hyurs wear, and... are those even Lalafell? They're short like them, but they don't look the same!

Needless to say, this sudden transition to a bizarre new land is unsettling, and it's completely amazing! For a grand Inspector like Hildibrand, there is nothing greater than a grand mystery such as where on Eorzea he is, why he got there, and if these people need any help with their woes. Even in the most trying of times such as this, a gentleman must always be aware of the needs of the people, ever ready to come to their aid. There's just so many people here, though, where is a lone gentleman inspector to begin?

Why, by finding a suitably dramatic place to make a proclamation of his intentions, of course. That giant crystal that doesn't look like any Aetheryte he's ever seen looks like a good place to come by and introduce himself.]

Ahem, may I have your attention, please! Greetings, people of... wherever this is! I am Inspector Hildibrand, agent of inquiry, inspector extraordinaire! [What follows is his grand bow, a gesture that begins with him turning to the side with one arm twisted up, one twisted down. Naturally, there's a grand smile on his face.] I am here to help you! [And here comes the other half of his bow, faced forward with both arms curved down to make roughly a circle in front of him.] Should anyone need the aid of Eorzea's foremost master of the sleuthing arts, I urge you not to dally! Come forward and be heard, and I will see your needs met!

mandervilles at you...!

[tactlesstactician]

[ Out of sheer curiosity, upon hearing a loud voice and seeing a.... special bow out of the corner of his eyes, Soren pauses to watch this spectacle. It's mildly entertaining, at best, but this man? This completely unsubtle man? Soren can't see him sleuthing his way out of a sack, much less being of any use investigating things in a land he clearly isn't familiar with.

So Soren does the only thing that seems natural and frowns, crossing his arms across his chest. He has nothing better to do at present, so why not ask the obvious? (Even if he has a feeling he's going to regret even simply talking to this man). ]

Exactly what good would you do anyone when you don't even know where you are?

Tohru Adachi | Persona 4 | I apologize for him in advance

[sleight_of_hand]

1.) Welcome to the world of Crystallis!
Adachi was expecting weirdness when he jumped into the TV; he was jumping into some messed up other world, so when the white and black around him started to bend, he didn't think much of it. Besides, anything was better than getting busted by a bunch of stupid kids, right? But then things started to swirl and lurch and dear god he was going to be sick. He closed his eyes as he heard a shattering sound, half expecting to hit something face first, because that was just the kind of luck he had lately, and then...

...someone telling him to wake up?

He was confused; he wasn't sleeping. Why would he need to wake up?

"Wake up, kupoooooooo!!!"

And then something was using his chest as a trampoline. Adachi let out a grunt, something metal rattling around him as his eyes sprang open and he found himself staring at a ball of fluff. It was making little, "kupo, kupo," noises at him, patting his face and trying to get him to get up, but he was too preoccupied with staring at the fact that he had a little bear on his chest and it was talking. What the hell?!

It took him a moment to finally attempt that "getting up" thing, realizing he was spread out flat on the ground. Even as he tried though, he couldn't quite manage it; for some reason, he was wearing some pretty damn heavy black armor, and all he could manage to do was roll and rattle in it.

"H-help!?" he wailed, this day getting stranger and stranger by the second. "A little help!?"

7.) Random Encounter
Really, whatever Crystal-thingie thought giving him a job that involved sword swinging and other knightly things must have been on crack. Adachi was a coward at heart, something he was not the slightest bit afraid to admit, and even the little monsters were difficult for him to approach. As it was, he was shuffling around a rabbit that was just staring at him with those beady little eyes, just daring him to mess with it. Adachi gulped, his sword wavering and wishing for the umpteenth time that it was a gun instead.

"Don't be afraid, kupo!" his moogle encouraged from a safe distance behind him. "You can do it, kupo!"

That seemed to set the rabbit off, because it lunged for Adachi in the next moment. He let out a high pitched scream that no man his age should ever be caught letting out, running in the opposite direction as fast as his armored legs could carry him. His moogle kupo'd in confusion, fumbling to chase after him, the rabbit hot on both their heels.

you, sir, are a national treasure :'D

[thirdarrow]

7;

The poor gentleman. He seemed to be at a complete loss of what to do.

Takakage could empathize, though. Heroes were drawn to this land from many realms - it would be reasonable to assume that some worlds had never seen such creatures before, or were different enough to exclude combat as a common activity. His conscience pushed him to assist - the man seemed to be a Dark Knight, but had difficulty maneuvering and attacking. The rabbit did look relatively harmless compared to what he had seen before, but he ought not to take any chances.

The tome in his hand snapped open, releasing a brief flare of white light before spears of ice emerged from its pages and knocked the rabbit aside.
