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 memories of his old training was still there but the armor was certainly heavy of the paladin that he became. The metallic clanking didn't help with stealth at all which would prove a challenge. Oh well, it wasn't like he used stealth all that much. He looked around and explored a bit in the airship with a grin and excitement while he asked a bunch of questions to the crew now and then.

He was called a hero which boosted his ego tremendously. With his chest puffed with pride, he stepped through the ship with the widest grin. He walked through the porthole toward the weather deck to get some air and to check out the scenery. His moogle finally caught up to the zippy Zack, her chest heaved as she panted.

"Slow down, kupo!"

Zack turned his head to address the floating creature and grinned. "If I do that, I won't see everything." Zack kept his pace quick.

The moogle sighed and her bobble dropped. Her stubby arms couldn't express the exasperation she wanted. "But--oh nevermind, kupo."

Just like that, it was out of Zack's mind to ask and soon he spotted Sephiroth but he looked different. Was it really Sephiroth? He canted his head and stepped forward though his armor was making his presence known. The long silver hair was telling of the hero he knew of in legend from Gaia but this was still Gaia, wasn't it? Apparently not and Zack was oblivious. He thought it was just another strange testing scenario with his senses suppressed. Well, this was new.

"Hey! I didn't know you were a part of this simulation too. Do you like it?" He grinned with his hands on his hips. "I'm ready for this."

His moogle sighed again and shook her head. "Kupo! Zack, this isn't a dream, kupo!"

Being called a hero wasn't something so foreign to Sephiroth, being referred to as a 'Hero of Light' was stranger. It was one of the reasons he was hesitant to accept entirely everything that the Moogle had told him. Never mind that Moogles were supposed to be just stuffed animals. It was a complex dream; which Sephiroth would eventually wake from and ponder on how this indicated to him his current stress levels in the face of Hollander's latest escape.

Or so he was half-still convincing himself.

The sound of Zack's heavy armor preceded his approach and Sephiroth turned with a swish of long silver hair -which he still wore loose outside of his lighter armor despite the recent uncomfort he was experiencing with it. Pale green eyes looked over Zack, though his expression softened as he quickly recognized the newest 1st class SOLDIER. Less encouraging though, was his comment.

"Simulation?" Yep, this had to be a dream if the Zack present in it were referring to that. The black-haired comrade of his did spend an enormous amount of time training that way; Sephiroth had seen the log-in records.

Meanwhile, Sephiroth's bespectacled Moogle waved it's small paw in the direction of Zack's own fluffy companion.
zackthepuppy: (Um okay.)

[personal profile] zackthepuppy 2014-07-02 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Zack was on the opposite end. He didn't find any of it disturbing. The sight of Sephiroth and his trademark hair brought it home that he was sure this wasn't a simulation gone wrong.

He rubbed the back of his head with a sigh. "That's the wrong word. I've been cooped up in training for so long that I've kinda gotten used to saying it. It's nothing." He shrugged it off and looked over his shoulder at the passing clouds on the weather deck.

Clover giggled and shook her over-sized head. "I can't understand him either, kupo."

"Hey, that's enough out of you, fluffy." Zack chastised his floating companion.
shinrasfinest: (Are you F*ckin' serious?)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2014-07-05 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
He wasn't so easily letting this go. Sephiroth was still convinced this was a rather odd dream of his, and for Zack to appear and state suddenly it was a simulation, and then take that back immediately - it only heightened Sephiroth's suspicion.

Pale green slitted eyes looked over Clover, and seemed to drop further into a frown as they found Zack once more. His tone, as well, dropped considerably with the multiplying confusion.

"Well then, what did you mean?"
zackthepuppy: (Well...)

[personal profile] zackthepuppy 2014-07-05 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Zack's shoulders dropped just then. He wasn't sure what he was thinking or how to explain himself. He was just as much in a quandary as he had put Sephiroth in. It was Clover that sighed and did the explaining instead.

"Don't hurt yourself, kupo." Clover said and she cleared her throat to prepare herself for the explanation. "This isn't a dream, simu-whatever, or something out of a strange story. This is a real place, kupo. You're in a place called Aqures Ixen, kupo. You're brought here because you're heroes of legend, kupo. Heroes reborn, you've got a lot to do, kupo. This means that you'll have to learn your jobs, discover new places and fight lots of monsters, kupo."

Zack stood bewildered for a moment. He always wanted to be a hero and the thought of becoming one instantly seemed to take a lot of thought in the young First Class. "So, this means that I'm already a hero?"

"That's right, kupo." Clover said in her chipper tone.
