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!

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!

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas turns from where he was leaning on the fence and almost stumbles back. He was looking at...himself? He's not entirely sure what to make of it.]

Uh...hi?

[derpblade_wielder]

[Ven awkwardly rubs the back of his head. He doesn't know what to say in a situation like this.]

You looking to ride a bird?

[He points over to the chocobos. Good start Ven.]

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah...maybe.

[He shrugs. He's at a loss for words as well.]

I mean, it looks like it could be fun.

[derpblade_wielder]

Uh... yeah. Guess you haven't ridden one before either?

[That means he's probably not from here.]

[seasaltkeys]

Nope. Never even seen birds like this before.

[They are weird and therefore he should probably investigate further. On that note.]

Who are you?

[derpblade_wielder]

[Ven continues to be awkward.]

I'm Ventus or Ven for short. Who are you?

[seasaltkeys]

[Default state for these two really.]

I'm Roxas. Just Roxas.

[Beat]

Sorry, this is just really weird.

[derpblade_wielder]

Yeah.

[Ven scratches the back of his head.]

I don't suppose this has happened to you before?

[seasaltkeys]

Meeting someone who looks exactly like me? No. That's a new one.

[Granted it's not as bad as "the world you lived in wasn't real and you weren't meant to exist."]

[derpblade_wielder]

Yeah me too. I wonder why?

[Ven thinks back to his teachings. Maybe they were connected.]

Whatever the reason it's nice to meet you.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas shrugged. The whole connection thing was still very new to him, and didn't really register.]

Uh, yeah. Same. Did you want to check out the birds?

[ooc: sorry for the late reply.]

[derpblade_wielder]

Yeah. It's the best way to get from place to place here. [Ven shrugs.] Or so I hear.

You going to give it a try?

[seasaltkeys]

That's what the moogle said.

[Roxas looks at the birds contemplatively.]

Yeah, why not? I mean, if it means I don't have to walk everywhere.

[derpblade_wielder]

That's what I was thinking too. Here.

[Ven digs into his pocket and pulls out a collection of greens.]

The birds eat this stuff.

[seasaltkeys]

They eat grass?

[That falls under the weird category but Roxas takes the greens with a nod, and after a brief look around, hops over the fence into the pen. Probably not the smartest idea, but he doesn't see anyone else to tell him what to do.

Okay the Chocobos are a bit bigger up close.]

[derpblade_wielder]

[Ven has a mischievous smile and following his look-a-like over the fence. He holds out the greens to the nearest bird and coaxes it towards him. He didn't expect it to come running at him, knocking him over.]

Hey!

[He went to stand and found the bird standing over him picking happily at his hand.]

That is NOT the way to greet someone.

[seasaltkeys]

I think you might want to give him some of the greens.

[Roxas tries to come over to help but is accosted by another hungry chocobo who is sort of headbutting him. Hey! Share!]

[derpblade_wielder]

I know.

[Ven tosses the greens without thinking and they fly back at him landing on his chest. It isn't intentional but now the chocobos focus his beak at the pile of greens on his chest. It starts pecking at him, joyfully eating all the delicious greens.

Ven laughs as the chocobo digs through his close for more. He starts kicking as the chocobo tickles him.]

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas finally gives in and hands the chocobo the greens he was carrying, in order to go and help Ven.]

You okay, or do you want me to get it off you?

[You're laughing but he doesn't want the bird eating you or something. They're big, who knows what they'll do.]

[derpblade_wielder]

[Ven crawls out from under the bird letting what was left of the greens fall on the ground by his feet. It is enough to get the bird off him.]

I got it.

[He waves before resting his arm on the bird that has been trying to eat him out of all of his greens.]

These birds really like food. [He can relate to that.]

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Okay, okay, he'll share. He holds his hand out and the Chocobo that had been following him chirps in happiness before devouring the greens.]

So, now we just gotta get on them, right?

[derpblade_wielder]

I think so.

[Ven runs and jumps trying to straddle the chocobo. The golden bird doesn't seem to mind his awful attempt at getting on but it flutters its wings impatiently. The movement almost causes Ven to fall but he manages to steady himself and get on the bird. It is weird feeling something breathing and moving below you and it is a feeling Ventus wasn't really used too. He shifts nervously trying to get a good purchase on the bird.]

I think I got this.

[seasaltkeys]

[That doesn't look so hard, Roxas thinks. He could probably do that.

He looks at the Chocobo beside him, who regards him carefully. Roxas takes a few steps back before doing the same run and jump on the to chocobo. However, the bird squawks when Roxas lands on him and starts forward. Roxas grabs the bird's neck for balance.]

Woah! Stop moving!
