— 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.

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!

They do? I mean... Of course I knew that!

[She can't show weakness.]

I will save Wutai. I am going to rebuild the village for the pride of Wutai!

[The war happened before Yuffie can remember and she is determined to bring her town back to it's proper glory.]
wear_tear_rust: (Oh really.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-03 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, of course not. Showing weakness isn't good at all and he knows that.

Angeal chuckles softly. She has spunk, he'll admit, and he'll give credit where credit is due. For the time being, looking around is his priority along with learning a few things.]


Ah, I see. How do you plan to do that?
thegreatninja: (Happy)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-07-03 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I am going to collect money and rebuild the town!

[Yuffie looks the man over. She doesn't feel like he is a threat anymore. He's learned his lesson.]

I am going to get strong and steal from villains!

[Her moogle flies happily around her before landing on her head. The young girl giggles as the moogle shows his affection.]
wear_tear_rust: (You should work on that.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-03 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, now that is something he really wouldn't do. He's pretty sure that it wouldn't end well for the town when the villains can come back and take revenge. His brow creases, and his frown is apparent.]

If that's your only plan, I hope you're prepared to face the consequences.

[His own moogle nods his head in agreement.]
thegreatninja: (HUH?)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-07-03 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Consequences?

[Obviously the eight year old hasn't really thought it through.]
wear_tear_rust: (We'll see about that.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-03 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He turns around and sits on a nearby bench. Lester flies off to play near the fountain, but he stays close by. He sighs, while he gets that sinking feeling that whatever he's going to say might not stick.]

Hm.

[He nods his head once.]

For every action we make, there is someone to react to it. Some are good, some are bad.

[He leans forward slightly to look directly into Yuffie's eyes in hopes that what he says connects.]

Understand?
thegreatninja: (HUH?)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-07-07 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[The young girl sits down in front of him on the ground looking up. It is instinctual for her and her moogle happily joins her.]

Like if you get beaten the things you protect will be destroyed?

wear_tear_rust: (We'll see about that.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-07 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods. He knows that Yuffie is a smart girl even if she's hyper. The fact that she means well is certainly apparent.]

Yes, that's right. The incident with Wutai, the way you reacted toward me, they are all consequences. I accept them. You don't have to like me. I don't expect you to, but I can't let you be alone either.
thegreatninja: (HUH?)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-07-07 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Why can't I be alone?

[It is true that her tiny body is filled with fear and anger. Her family and home is broken and she tasked herself with the task to bring them back together.]
wear_tear_rust: (You should work on that.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-07 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
To put it simply, [He leans forward to make sure that he has her full and undivided attention.] this isn't our world and neither of us are experts navigating this terrain. I propose a truce.
thegreatninja: (Don't Care)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-07-07 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuffie eyes him a moment, mulling it over.]

What would be the terms of this truce?

[She crosses her arms ready to hear what he has in mind but not so eager to accept.]
wear_tear_rust: (You broke your sword.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-08 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
[There's only one thing that he can think of that she would probably be interested, judging from the way she greeted him earlier.]

You'll take all the credit and half the treasures we find.

[...as long as I can keep my eye on you. He omits the last part for good reason.]
thegreatninja: (talking/ realization)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-07-08 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuffie thought for a moment. She could use more money than that but there was no guarantee that she can bring what she collects home. She nods and holds out her hand.]

I accept your terms.

wear_tear_rust: (We'll see about that.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-09 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Good, then it's settled.

[He stands up and looks around. They need supplies and with the limited gil he has, he'll have to save all he can.]

First, we'll need to buy potions. It's a pretty short fight without them.
thegreatninja: (talking/ realization)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-07-09 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuffie beckons to her moogle to look at her collection of things.]

I have 12 potions.

[She has been shouting at people for awhile now and for some reason they give her things before they leave. Obviously it's because she is so scary and not because they think she is going to hurt herself.]
wear_tear_rust: (You should work on that.)

[personal profile] wear_tear_rust 2014-07-10 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't.

[Which means, he has to go and get some and he hates shopping. He steps toward the nearest potion vendor to purchase what he needs.]
