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!

I noticed that too. I think they are just trying to give you something.

[Yuna happily stands in front of Rikku and holds out her hands to the moogles. They eye it and then set the letters down. Yuna turns and hands them to Rikku.]

Looks like you're popular.
pickinurpockets: (Uwah!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, or it's more ads from the junk shops! How was I supposed to know that the mailing lists were daily?!

[Let's see...junk mail, junk mail, junk mail...she hands the junk to her Moogle who scurries off with a "kupo!" to dispose of them while Rikku pockets the important stuff]

How'd you know where I was?
whereishe: (Default)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-28 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Just lucky I guess.

[Yuna had been on her way to explore more when she saw the swarm of moogles.]

I'm glad to see you here.
pickinurpockets: (Oh Noes!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[And of course that gets another hug from Rikku]

Me too. I thought I was all alone here! Well, except for Ginger.

[Her Moogle]

Are your dresspheres not working either?
whereishe: (talking)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-28 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[Yuna points over to her moogle that she hasn't taken the time to name.]

This little guy has told me some of what's going on but I don't really know why it's happened.
pickinurpockets: (Scared and Crying)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! They said something about the end of the world and being heroes and having to save the world again and crystals. I thought we save Spira, though! How could it end if we saved it? Twice?
whereishe: (happy)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-28 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it is this world that needs to be saved and that's why we were brought here.

[Yuna gives Rikku an encouraging smile.]

So what do you say? Want to be a hero?
pickinurpockets: (Yoink!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You bet!

[She grins back at Yuna, pumping her fist]

But first--any idea where a weapons shop that's not stupidly expensive is? I need better daggers.
whereishe: (Complicated)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-28 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well we can always fight to get more gil.

It's a shame they don't have guns here.

[Yuna lets out a long breath. She isn't sure how she feels being a summoner again.]
pickinurpockets: (Uwah!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's just weird! They have bows and stuff, but does anyone know how to use those?

[Rikku sure as heck doesn't. Her Moogle returns and hops up on Rikku's shoulder with a soft "ku-kupo".]

What can you do, if you can't shoot? I'm pretty sure I'm just in whatever this place's Thief dressphere is.
whereishe: (Head)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-28 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Summoner

[It is that or white mage. She isn't sure if she wants to fire a bow.]
pickinurpockets: (Uwah!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...ew.

[Yeah, Rikku can imagine Yuna not being too pleased with this one. She squeezes Yuna's hand]

That's it? D'you wanna trade with me, I think Ginger said I could be a Dragoon, whatever that is.
whereishe: (Your point/ideas)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-28 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see why we can't both be thieves. Maybe we can ask?
pickinurpockets: (Murr Face)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-28 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, good idea. Hey, Ginger!

[The Moogle shakes her head, explaining that only Jessie can give you new jobs and there's no trading]

Aw, drat. But Yunie doesn't want to be a summoner!
whereishe: (Your point/ideas)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-29 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuna places a hand on Rikku's shoulder.]

It's alright. I can figure it out for now lets get you those daggers.
pickinurpockets: (Oh Noes!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-29 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? I can wait on the daggers!
whereishe: (Your point/ideas)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-29 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine.

[Yuna grins at Rikku.]

Sides, we have a mission to get enough money for daggers. We can't leave that uncompleted.
pickinurpockets: (Whee!)

[personal profile] pickinurpockets 2014-06-29 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, if she insists....Rikku grins]

Right! What kinda Gullwings would we be if we did that? Let's go!
whereishe: (happy)

[personal profile] whereishe 2014-06-29 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuna's grin matches Rikku's as she starts running off towards the forest to find a fiend.]

Lets go!

[With Rikku by her side, it is hard not to feel excited.]
