— 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!

[Zelda giggles.]

I like to support people, if I can.

It's always good to do what you like!

[Gingerly holding out the neckline of his tunic, trying to get it some air-]

Why do you bother with the sword, then? I don't know all the mechanics of this place yet, but usually you get better at something the more you specialize. I put all my hours into riding up mountains, then I'm the best climber. The trade-off being that I'm not the best sprinter or all-rounder. [Shrug. Not a big deal.] I like mountains the best anyway.

[Zelda's eyes unfocused as she looks off into the distance.]

I don't want to trouble anyone. I want to be able to protect myself and I don't want anyone to get her because I couldn't protect myself.

[Not being the best at giving advice, Manami just shakes his head slightly. He thinks that she really should just stick with what she's good at. If she teams up like she did today, she wouldn't need to be protected. But it's up to her!

Turning around in the direction of the city, he sheathes his lance.]


Well, I'll be going now. Need to get out of these clothes- this world is kinda a pain that way. [More flapping of the collar. Ahh, it smells bad too...] You should definitely check out biking though. Maybe we'll meet up again some time and you'll see it!

Yes [Zelda smiles.] Thank you.

I hope we meet again.
vindr: (close the forgotten eyes)

[He gets a whole ten steps away before he remembers- he turns around.]

Oh, yah! I'm Manami Sangaku. [Waves~] See you again sometime!
goddessofthesky: (Laughing)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-08-23 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zelda waves with a happy smile.]

I'm Zelda!
vindr: (change sighs into the spring breeze)

[personal profile] vindr 2014-08-24 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe he's waving to acknowledge that he heard her name, maybe he's just waving goodbye again- it's hard to tell with this kid.

But wave again he does before dashing away towards town (and a cleaner shirt).]

[[ooc: thanks for the thread! Your Zelda is super-cute ^.^ Hope to see you around again!]]
