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!

[Rikku giggles, even if at first she thought the same thing.]

At least here! Wherever here is, since this isn't Spira. I mean, maybe it's Spira? I heard someone mention blitzball but...

[blitzplay]

[ Don't laugh at him, Rikku. This is change Wakka is not prepared to deal with. Like a puppy, the unknown frightens him. ] Where you hear that? Maybe someone there knows how we can get to Luca!

[pickinurpockets]

The, uh, Moogles mentioned it? There was an ad for a game in...Ixion? Or something like that, it's close by wherever it is. They ran off before I could ask for details, but there's gotta be someone who doesn't say kupo all the time that knows where the game is, yeah?

[blitzplay]

Ixion? [ Wakka turns around, scratching underneath his headband. Ixion is one of Yuna's Aeons, not a place. Where did they end up? ] Guess playing Blitz beats standing here like an idiot, ya? Even if we don't find out about Luca, maybe I can win something. [ His stomach growls. He hunches, feeling defeated. ] Should've eaten Lu's fish before going to bed.

[pickinurpockets]

[She giggles again and pats his back consoling, starting to heads towards what she thinks might be a food stall]

Aw, poor Wakka. How's Vidina?

[blitzplay]

[ The pat on the back is appreciated. It shakes Wakka from his self-deprecation, making him jump to his feet and get going. ] How's what? [ He doesn't recognize the word. ] Is that Al Bhed you're using?

[pickinurpockets]

Uh, yeah? It means future--you should know, you named your kid it!

[Did he hit his head or something?]

[blitzplay]

[ The gears in Wakka's head turn ever so slowly. Once they finish, the click is audible, deafening and, Wakka being Wakka, dramatic—he does his famous fish-gaping-and-arm-held-in-front-of-his-face-as-if-defending-from-a-fiend gesture. ]

What do you mean I have a kid!? W—what, w—with who!?

[pickinurpockets]

Lulu? You guys got married, like, almost right after we beat Sin and Yunie gave her speech and stuff! How do you not remember this?

[blitzplay]

[ Is that what Lulu had wanted to tell him that night? He'd been too drained from the fight, too upset over Tidus' and Sir Auron's 'disappearance' (Wakka refused to accept it as a death, as he'd refuse to accept Chappu's for years) to give thought to whatever he and Lulu had become during the course of Yuna's pilgrimage.

Neither of them were children. The signs were all there, even for someone as hard-headed and prone to missing the subtle as Wakka. Their last night in Besaid, a request they'd made thinking they might not live through the fight with Sin, had been nothing short of magical. He blushes recalling it.

But Wakka never thought either of them would jump the gun that quickly. Wakka, in the back of his mind, still felt terrible over falling for his dead brother's girlfriend. Lulu confessed the same their last night in the Fahrenheit. ] Geez, didn't think we'd go that fast, ya? [ In the name of...no, not Yevon. His ears are burning, his cheeks too. ] No one was surprised?

[pickinurpockets]

Nope!

[Rikku sorta giggles because she's pretty sure they had this exact conversation two years ago but it's still adorable. Worrying since, uh, he should know this but still adorable.]

Going on two years now, remember?

[blitzplay]

[ Wakka smushes Rikku's face with his hand, using less force than he would with someone like Tidus. ] No, I don't remember. This has to be some weird dream. Maybe the Fayth didn't die, ya? They're still here, and now they're messing with us.

[pickinurpockets]

Ow!

[Meanie. She ducks away, making a face]

No, I know it's not a dream! You and Lulu got married, I kidnapped Yunie to go spherehunting, and Tidus came back! And...I dunno what this place is.

[blitzplay]

Woah, woah, woah! [ Wakka stops in his tracks, grinning from ear to ear. ] My best bud's back!?

[pickinurpockets]

Yup! Though, well, you know Yunie.

[Rikku gestures in a way clearly meant to imply that she hasn't let Tidus out of her sight and giggles]

The fayth did something, I think. I didn't ask.
