— 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!

[The Moogles are finally dispersing so Rikku manages to get up and stomp over to Gippal, poking his tummy]

Meaniepants. I dunno why I like you so much.
machinajackass: (Lazy)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's because I'm a handsome genius? [He puts a hand on her head and ruffles her hair now that she is close.]
pickinurpockets: (Uwah!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[And she smacks his arm]

Handsome, sure, but I dunno about the genius bit! Buddy's smarter than you!
machinajackass: (Sly)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He rubs his arm like that actually hurt.]

Hey. Just because someone is smarter than me doesn't mean anything.
pickinurpockets: (Uwah!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Means you're not a genius!
machinajackass: (3)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
More than one person can be a genius. [Really trying to hurt a guys pride, aren't you, Rikku?]
pickinurpockets: (Ooo Lookit!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Still doesn't make you one~

[Yup. Jerk[
machinajackass: (2)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Well in that case. If I compare your-...wait. Never mind. [Doesn't want to dig himself into a hole that he can't get out of.]
pickinurpockets: (Ooo Lookit!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, you can be taught!

[She giggles, no longer mad at him and hugs him]
machinajackass: (Lazy)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey! He didn't mean to be taught anything! But he takes the hug anyway.]
pickinurpockets: (Ooo Lookit!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
So! You mentioned lunch?
machinajackass: (Lazy)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I found this really great place here that serves some great food. I just wanted a really pretty lady to accompany me.
pickinurpockets: (Whee!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cue the cute face! She's pretty!]
machinajackass: (Lazy)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes! She is! Quite pretty in fact. But..does that outweigh her hurting his pride. Hmmm.]

So. Rikku. If you aren't busy right now..would you...like to go ask Yuna come with me? [He tries to ask without laughing, but it's difficult. Of course he wants Rikku to go with him. But he can't resist messing with her.]
pickinurpockets: (Hissy Fit)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[When Gippal pulls that, Rikku gives him a Look and turns around, arms crossed]

No.
machinajackass: (Sly)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine. Would you like to go with me?
pickinurpockets: (Uwah!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, you've been a big jerkface to me! Give me a good reason to go with you!

[Ginger the Moogle makes a noise of agreement.]
machinajackass: (Lazy)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll buy you anything that you want for the rest of the day if you do.
pickinurpockets: (Whee!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
--deal! I need better daggers anyway, and I'm outta kupo nuts since someone likes to pig out on 'em.
machinajackass: (5)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-28 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That was easy. [..hopefully she doesn't pick anything too expensive.]
pickinurpockets: (Ooo Lookit!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-29 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles evilly]

Was it~?
machinajackass: (3)

[personal profile] machinajackass 2014-06-29 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
..Rikku. Try to take it easy on my wallet. Otherwise I might have to mooch of you.
pickinurpockets: (Murr Face)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-29 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I promise I won't spend all your money!
