— 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: (Not happy)

[Zelda quickly took his hand bringing herself to her feet. Her eyes causally set on the monster.]

It's still moving.

[She looks back from the direction the two of them came surprised that the hit didn't kill it. She pulls out a sword and shakily points it towards the monster. She is better at healing but took two classes in case she needed to fight as well.]

[Sparks is all paladin, but his sword is nowhere to be seen. Seeing how shaky Zelda was, he readies his fists, stepping in front of her. He didn't like the idea of kicking something when it was down, but the monster also jumped him out of nowhere. Fair's fair.]

If it's dumb enough to go for round two, let it. We've got this.

[The creature is getting up, slowly, and snarls at the pair. But it's clearly hurt, and isn't moving in on them just yet.]
Edited 2014-07-17 14:49 (UTC)
goddessofthesky: (huh)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-17 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zelda let him take the front, her eyes still on the monster in front of them. The monsters here were hostile and she has noticed that they will just attack.]

I'll back you up then.

[Her fingers wrap around the sword at her side as she looked back out at the monster.]
red_planet_blues: (uh oh.)

i've suddenly decided the monster is the ettin snake in the beastiary. 8D

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2014-07-17 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, I'm gonna-- Whoa look out--

[What he was starting to do was rush up to punch one of the heads into orbit, when the monster rears back and lets out a gout of flame at its attacker. He's fairly certain his armor can take the hit, but he's not sure about Zelda. Sparks jumps back in the way of her and the monster. The good news is, it leaves an opening for Zelda to attack. The bad news is Sparks might end up a little crispy.]
goddessofthesky: (Worry)

Cool!

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-17 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[The down side to her having two classes is that her armor isn't very strong. It is a miracle that the cowboy moved to protect her. As the snake moves to attack, her sword moves to her hand in a single graceful movement. She trusts that he can handle the monsters attack and moves under it's hot breath to strike. Her sword hits, biting into the monsters scales.

Zelda takes a step back her sword in front of her defensively. Her eyes wonder over to her companion. She could heal him but she worried for his well being.]
red_planet_blues: (fightans)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2014-07-21 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Said companion looks alright, for the most part. His armor took the brunt of the blast, though his chest looks fairly scorched. He must be alright, since he's grumbling to himself.]

Seriously. Fire breath?

[Also, his cowboy hat has fallen off, and is lying on the ground, part of the brim still smouldering. He stomps on it once to put it out, and then narrows his eyes at the creature.]

Well that tears it. [Sparks barrels towards the creature, and lands a solid punch on the second head that was heading to bite Zelda. It wasn't expecting such a hard hit from such a small target, but the robot fist to the noggin has made it a little dizzy. The other head rears back, aiming to try another flame breath at whatever it can hit.]
goddessofthesky: (intent)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-21 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Zelda moves to duck out of the fires way. Her skills were more in healing so being hit was dangerous.

She sidesteps bringing her blade across the side of the dragon, towards its back, hoping to turn its attention so that they could flank it. She is happy that his hits were stronger than hers. Otherwise they might be in more trouble.

Zelda looks at him tilting her head to the beasts otherside. Hopefully he got the idea.]
red_planet_blues: (say what)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2014-07-21 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He does, shooting her a smirk and a quick nod as he slips around to the backside of the monster. The fire-breathing head spots them, though, and as Sparks throws a punch towards the back of the other head's neck, it brings its jaws down around his robotic armor. Sparks looks surprised, and then downright offended.]

Hey! There ain't any mechanics for these things on this planet! Let. Go!

[And he hits it with his off-hand square on the nose. That sure gets it to let go.]
goddessofthesky: (Hey)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-22 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Zelda finches as the beasts jaws clasped on to the man arm. Metal or not it isn't a pretty sight. This time when Zelda swings the one head falls, either knocked out or down, Zelda can't tell.

She runs closer to her ally and cast cure oh him in case he was hurt.]


You okay?
red_planet_blues: (grin)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2014-07-22 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Am now. [He flexes his hand inside the glove. It's dented but still operational. Sparks turns to the beast, but it's taking this opportunity to high-tail it into the brush and get away while it still has one functioning head. Instead of pursuing it, he just calls out after it.]

Yeah, that's right! That's what ya get for sneakin' up on a fella like that. [He's going to pick up his singed hat while he's at it, looking it over with a frown before dusting it off and popping it back on.]

Thanks for the heal. You didn't get hit, did ya?

goddessofthesky: (talking)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-23 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I'm fine.

[Zelda is more surprised by the encounter than anything else. The sudden arrival of the beast and then her companion. She smiles warmly glancing over him to make sure he is unharmed.]

I'm glad you're not hurt. Why did that thing attack you?
red_planet_blues: (ready to draw)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2014-07-23 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[A little singed, a little dented, but Sparks seems no worse for wear. He shrugs in response to her question as he removed the robot fists from his arms, attaching them to his belt.]

I dunno. Maybe it was having a bad day or something. Maybe it didn't like my hat. Or my horse-- Oh hey. My horse.

[Sparks turns back from where he came through, and let out a loud whistle between his fingers. After a few moments, a horse pokes its head out from between some trees, then trots out when he sees it's safe. That's when Zelda can see the legs and back half of the horse are robotic. Sparks chides it quietly.]

There you are. Geez, run off at the first sign 'a trouble, huh. Some help you are.
goddessofthesky: (giggles)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-07-24 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[A light giggle escapes Zeldas lips as she watches the man interact with his horse.]

My name is Zelda by the way.

[Zelda's moogle comes flying up behind her, now that the fighting is down and lands in the girls arms. He has a little green hat that falls down to his shoulder.]

red_planet_blues: (grin)

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2014-07-25 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Sparks Nevada, mar-- [No, Sparks, this isn't Mars and you're not the marshal anymore. This habit's going to take awhile to break.] -- Former marshal of Mars, current, uh... whatever this all is. [He shrugs. He's still getting used to this new role. He offers a hand for a shake, though.]
