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! |

By this time, Charlotte had caught up, an annoyed frown creasing her brow. "Mogsy, you're supposed to assist me!"
However, it evaporated when her gaze fixed on the considerably shorter stranger, who also seemed to have a moogle following her. Losing annoyance from her voice, she apologised. "I'm so sorry! Has he been bothering you?"
no subject
Kupu?
It sounded too much like the name of some jerkface she didn't like. She did her best to shoo Mogsy back to his...companion? Owner? Whatever, she didn't care.
no subject
Charlotte tilted her head at the other moogle in consideration. "Are you one of the moogles sent to accompany a Hero of Light?"
After all, Mogsy had been quite insistent on accompanying her. Not that she minded!
no subject
"I'm a very busy person," Zojja replied, crossing her arms. "Now what's this Hero of Light business?"
no subject
Once Mogsy was close enough, Charlotte held out the scrolls -- her unsaid compromise with the moogle -- for Mogsy to take. "Hold these, please." As Mogsy reluctantly flapped his wings and took the scrolls, hovering around Charlotte's shoulder, she addressed the stranger. "From what I've been able to find out, it's a well known legend of this land."
Mogsy piped up, pompom bobbing in excitement. "People with crystals and the ability to use the skills of multiple legendary Jobs are tasked to save this world, kupo!" Mogsy twirled and held up the scrolls triumphantly, as if they were a sword.
Charlotte made an annoyed face, a small pout on her lips. "Too bad there's hardly any information on how to actually do it." But the pout was soon gone, replaced by a smile and a toss of her hair. "Nothing I can't figure out with a bit of research and exploration, of course."
no subject
"So, these people aren't good enough to save their own world, so they need to borrow some heroes from other places?" she shook her head. "And there's much more to find out than how to use these things. What is the process in which these people are selected? Why do they need..."foreigners," for the lack of a better term, to take up these crystals? And if we find that out, maybe we can all go back to where we came from. Or at least learn how to do this thing everyone wants us to do."
no subject
Turning her head to address the stranger's moogle, she asked, "You wouldn't happen to know the answers to any of those questions, would you?"
Mogsy hadn't been terribly enlightening in that regard.
no subject
"What good are you then?" Zojja asked. "Don't answer. That was a rhetorical question. The questions worth answering, though, are not going to answer themselves. Kupu, make yourself useful and get something to write on. Scrolls. Books. Get a stone tablet and a chisel for all I care. We have work to do."
"Now?"
"Now."
As the moogle flew off in one direction, the asura once again turned her attention to Charlotte.
"You seem like a relatively intelligent human. What is your experience in...well, anything really."
no subject
Her eyebrows pinch in a brief moment of concern. I hope he hasn't gotten himself into trouble... Well, she has a task at hand, so she can't be worrying about him.
Brightening, she continued, "What about you?" She had no idea what the stranger was supposed to be, but she was polite enough not to comment. "What did you do in your world?"
no subject
"I am Zojja, asuran genius. I am a graduate of the College of Synergetics, a renown golemancer, and the successor to the legendary Snaff."
Of course, she figured roughly half of those words didn't mean anything to Charlotte, but who cares?
"I am one of Rata Sum's finest minds and mostly what I do is fix problems other people created. In the rare times I am not trying to prevent asura society from imploding upon itself from the sheer weight of its own stupidity, I am a scientist and inventor and on the lookout for promising, budding geniuses."
no subject
But enough pleasantries, they had work to do. She held out her free hand. "Map please, Mogsy."
Obliging, the moogle gave one of the scrolls to Charlotte, who walked over to a nearby stone railing and spread it out, using her book to weigh down one end to stop it from blowing away. She pointed to the north east continent. "We're here, in Aqures Ixen. Your moogle should tell you the basics of this world, but we'll need to figure out anything else on our own."
She points at a mountain range off to the east of Aqures Ixen on the map. "Mogsy and I are headed in that direction to investigate a cave that contains an inscription related to the legend." Charlotte gave Zojja a smile. "You're welcome to join us."
