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! |

5 -- don't mind me
At first he had thought it was just a fever dream, one vivid enough to manifest itself in a fluffy creature of legends and children stories that couldn't stay still. But when he tried to summon his wing and fly, it did not happen. He also had realized that he felt well. The numbing sickness, the gut-clenching feel of his body slowly rotting was gone, but at the same time, he did not have the strength or speed he had all his life. Instead, he was wearing some kind of ridiculous suit and every time he asked the moogle - whom he had dubbed 'Zack' despite her protests - for a weapon, she had scolded him and explained exactly what his Job was.
The argument went downhill from there and now 'Zack' - no, he never did hear her name - was sulking about three feet from him while he walked around the airship, still annoyed that his fever dream has grown so large to have stripped him of weapons. Maybe a new place would be much more willing to accept a scholar with skills in war, or maybe he will wake up from this and carry on with a rotting death. Or maybe he was already dead?
He stopped - nearly causing his moogle to run right into him - and shook the thought from his mind. No. He refused to die. He had yet to find the Gift, he had yet to face Sephiroth, he had yet to be cure. No. Death would be long in coming. This was still a dream brought on by impractical medicines and the works of a hack playing at god.
When he looked around, he noticed that he found his way outside and that he was not the only person to be up here. The long tail of silver hair and the other's height was familiar and as he drew near him, Genesis was certain he knew that man. After all, hadn't he been part of the cause for his own fall? As he drew near to the Silver General, he couldn't help but say hello.
"My friend, do you fly away now?"
Re: 5 -- don't mind me
For all the difference he thought he could make by starting his own research into Project G.
At the familiar voice behind him, before he was about to turn back to come away from the railing, Sephiroth froze. The turbulent winds rose shorter hairs out of his vast mane of silver even as the silver haired warrior turned slowly to face Genesis. Spencer, the bespectacled moogle backed off a foot from just behind Sephiroth's right calf, having fallen silent as if he could also tell the air of uncertainty between the two men.
"Act 3, Line 1"
no subject
"Such memory... Tell me, do you remember because you wished or is it because I beaten it in your head?"
no subject
An eyebrow raised lightly as Sephiroth turned to look mostly over a shoulder at the red-head before him. Was he friend or foe now, that they were -if it was all to be believed- torn from the world of Shinra and Mako, of Company secrets and grudges between scientists? As ever, Sephiroth was cautious in letting his thoughts lead him one way or the other despite how he hoped it might be true that they could be truly friends again.
"Is there really so much of a difference?" He tested, smoothly at Genesis' back.
no subject
He thought for a moment, looking and not seeing the lands spread out beneath them as they traveled, thinking instead of how strange this place was. If he was to start over again, to repair the damage done to their friendship, would he do so? Or would he let it burn away like all other things in his life?
A bitter ghost of a smile touched his lips as Genesis sighed, his eyes closing. "Ah... I do not know. After all, what do we ever know especially within our dreams?"
no subject
Before they had both thought to abandon Shinra, and discard his friendship so completely. It was a bitter thought indeed, that it might have all been on purpose. So like a dream to provide him with the resolution he worked so hard towards; Genesis' smile only further drew Sephiroth's attention onto the familiar man now stood to his side. Silver hair being caught in the turbulence some, he turned more to face Genesis.
"That depends on the nature of the dream."
no subject
His words were spoken softly, with an underlying hint of the betrayal and pain from realizing what exactly he and Angeal had been subjected to before they were born. There was little hope in matters changing for them this late, and Genesis knew that the path he and his childhood friend were on will soon be the same for Sephiroth. Maybe he should not have laid the foundations towards Project S. Maybe he should have left Sephiroth alone.
Maybe if he had any hope left but the few shreds of an unfinished poem, Genesis would have tried to save Sephiroth from this pain as well.
"My friend, the fates are so cruel."
no subject
Sephiroth was still mostly oblivious to how it all concerned him personally, having only been concerned (so far) with the issues which had driven both of them away from the Company. Their fates were not so intertwined as Genesis would have him believe through that poem.
"Why should you even wish to know. You are not a monster, Genesis."
no subject
It was a slight agreement with his moogle that this world was not the Planet, and that the sickness he had been living with was no longer eating away at his body and mind. He had done horrible things back home, things that he could not say were accidents or something to brush off on Hollander. A lot of people had been cursed to become his puppets, a lot of people had died, his hometown destroyed for what had happened, and it was all because of his ego. He may not seem like a monster to Sephiroth, but he chose that path none the less.
"How much do you remember, Sephiroth? How much do you know of what we are?"
no subject
"I know enough." He scoffed in a huff of a dismissive gesture, casting a slow gaze from Genesis' moogle to his own and then back to the profile of the man who had once more easily been considered a friend. It didn't make sense for him to have to recount details, within his own dream.
"So much for being the hero."
Genesis had, after all, drawn Sephiroth into a confrontation from behind which he could launch an attack on the Shinra building with his copies. To get at the one man who might know more than Hollander.
