— 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!

goddessofthesky: (Pointing)

Zelda smiled while looking out around the ranch. She felt like a little kid again getting on a bird for the first time. It was thrilling and she wanted to go somewhere. It was good for the golden birds to run around anyway. "I think we should give riding a try. Maybe to the fence."

Zelda pointed to a fence that was in sight from where they sat. It appeared to be far enough away to be a good ride while not actually going anywhere. "Want to race?" Her smile was mischievous as she moved her chocobo in position.

Races were so common on skyloft she didn't think that he would refuse.

Silver head turned and looked out over the ranch to where Zelda was pointing. The paddock sure was larger looking from atop a chocobo, than it had been from the other side of the fence but Sephiroth was sure it was intentionally set up that way. For sure it wouldn't take a lot of effort from the powerful legs of the bird, to leap over the fence, if any one of them decided it wanted to run away.

The chocobo disturbed him from gauging the distance, while it shuffled from one leg to the other in adjusting to his weight but Sephiroth managed (just about) to keep his balance still. He looked back to Zelda and delivered a look that said in it's entirely - are you crazy?

He had no intention to take any risk that might involve himself being hurled from the bird, now that he'd actually managed to mount and at least learn the feel of how prolonged transit might be first few steps. High speeds, and steering - recipe for disaster.

"Probably not the best idea."
goddessofthesky: (huh)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-16 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Zelda pouted her lips before she banished the idea from her thoughts. It probably wasn't the best idea but it hadn't seemed like an awful idea either. Her eyes went over to her companion and she noticed his uneasiness. Her tone was soft and gentle as she addressed him.

"You think you can ride?" She didn't mean it as an insult but she wanted to make sure he was comfortable before riding off. After all, Zelda yearned to feel the wind against her cheek, the world flashing beneath her.
shinrasfinest: (Over face)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2014-07-19 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Even though Zelda hadn't intended to insult him, any suggestion that Sephiroth was in any way incapable of something he'd put his mind to wasn't going to win her any brownie points. He didn't need to be spoken to like a child, either.

"I'll get it." He inclined his head outwards in a side-nod, indicating the rest of the paddock. "You go right ahead."

It was clear that she were more natural at it than he was, though he had no doubt that he'd get it, soon enough.
goddessofthesky: (Smiling)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-20 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
She hesitated a moment but she saw his abruptness and decided it was best to leave him be. She was sure she insulted him but she wouldn't have changed what she said. Zelda smiled at him with a reassuring smile. "Alright. I hope to see you again."

She spurred the bird forward. It really did feel like flying and her smile grew as the wind rushed by.
