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!

myhomeisahole: (I got you)

I have finished the game so no worries

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-06-30 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiz runs up up after seeing the little fairy in distress.]

Airy! Are you alright? Have you seen the others?

[All Tiz remembers is a flash of light. It should have worked but instead he is here.]
horrific: (04)

excellent! hehehe

[personal profile] horrific 2014-06-30 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Tiz!

( she gives a helpless flop as she tries once more to fly out of the bag. it's no good-- she only manages to poke her little arms out. )

What do you mean? Agnes, Edea, and Ringabel aren't with you?!

( in spite of her dire straits, tiz' words strike her. though airy knows this world isn't of her design, it's still unnerving to know agnes is missing. )
myhomeisahole: (Default)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-06-30 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiz reaches his hand in the bag and carefully pulls the frantic fairy to safety.]

You're the first I have seen since waking up here. After that flash... I thought everything would be fixed.

[He hopes they have maybe just woke up somewhere else but this isn't home.]
horrific: (08)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-06-30 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
( phew! airy breathes a sigh of relief as she's pulled free, wilting slightly as her wings flutter, suspending her at tiz' eye level. )

Thank you, Tiz...

( she's quick to perk up, expression worried. )

But-- But what do you mean, a flash? You don't mean the Pillar of Light, do you?

( what timeline is this tiz from, she wonders. the last thing she remembers is the dark lord devouring her, so the boy's niceness and familiarity is strange to her.

airy guesses that, since tiz assumed everything would be fixed with the purification incantation, that this boy is from a timeline where her little lambs are unaware of the phenomena of multiple worlds.

since he hasn't expressed suspicion towards her, and it seems he's alone, she she decides to play along for now. )


Because if so, that's the last thing I remember too... Does this mean I failed...?

( lying is a bold move in this situation, but since when has airy ever worried about such things? )
myhomeisahole: (Talking)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-06-30 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiz shakes his head, clearly fooled.]

I don't know. We need to get back home to see.

[He pauses.]

I hope the others are alright.
horrific: (obligatory floaty hair icon)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-06-30 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
( no protest? good, there's nothing to worry about then.

airy perches her chin on her hand in thought. )


I'm worried too... There are too many uncertainties to for us to make a guess as to what happened. We don't even know if we're the only ones who have disappeared...

( her face pulls into a pouty frown. )

What are we going to do, Tiz? The Moogles won't tell us anything, and these crystals they gave us are useless too.

( useless to her, anyway. )

myhomeisahole: (Thinking)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-06-30 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiz thinks for a moment.]

We should keep an eye out for the others and maybe become these hero's that this world needs? Once this world is safe it might take us back home.
horrific: (omg no stop)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-06-30 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
( she wilts a little, wings flickering slightly. )

I don't want to be a hero... What do they expect a Cryst Fairy like me to do? I can't even lift a set of keys!

( if this world's overlords are expecting her to reveal her true form for the sake of helping them, well. she has some bad news for them. )

If it's looking for the others, though, I can certainly do that! I'm Agnes' fated companion, so it's only a matter of time until we meet again!

( airy puffs her chest out proudly, as if she didn't just pull that out of her ass. )
myhomeisahole: (Smile)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-07-01 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'll protect you Airy. Besides I know if you are here we will have to find Anges right?

[He gives her an encouraging smile.]
horrific: (05)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-07-01 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
( she beams up at him before giving a little bounce midair. )

That's right! I might not be able to fight, but I'll still do the best I can! I can still advise you, after all!
myhomeisahole: (Default)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-07-01 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiz nods.]

From what I can gather we can get job classes here sort of like at home. If you don't want to completely defenseless why not pick up the black mage class?

I think it would suit you.
horrific: (03)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-07-01 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
( her wings flicker as she gives her head a tilt. ah, yes, they get sorted into job classes, don't they? this might pose a problem since she's only able to fight in her true form. she'll have to experiment with them on her own time, where no one can see her in case they force a transformation out of her. the best case scenario she hopes for is that she'll simply undergo cosmetic costume changes like they did on luxendarc. )

I suppose I could give it a try... Though, when I think of black mages, I think of that scrawny Ominas Crowe! I don't want to share a class with him!
myhomeisahole: (yeah)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-07-01 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiz gives Airy a half smile and waves his hand dismissively.]

You won't be like him and I am sure, even in that little body of yours, you can cast magic.

Lets go see.
horrific: (10)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-07-01 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
( uh oh... this is something she really must try alone if she wants to be cautious. she supposes if worst comes to worst, she could pretend she was possessed or incompatible with job switching, but that seems better suited to a last-ditch effort.

she gives a bounce mid-air before rubbing her stomach. )


I trust your words, but can we get something to eat first? Summoning the Pillar of Light took a lot out of me. I'm famished!
myhomeisahole: (Smile)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-07-02 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Tiz laughs and then gives Airy a happy smile.]

Sure. What do you want?

[He has no idea what is around here.]
horrific: (05)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-07-02 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
( airy claps excitedly, looking pleased as punch. )

Let's get something sweet! Agnes would scold me for eating too many sweets at once, so I have to seize this opportunity to eat as many as I want while she's in hiding!
myhomeisahole: (laughing)

[personal profile] myhomeisahole 2014-07-02 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes Tiz cuckle.]

Alright but if Anges asks it was all you.
horrific: (05)

[personal profile] horrific 2014-07-02 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
( a nod. )

It's a deal! Let's go, let's go!

( she zips off in a flurry of sparkles before circling back to tiz, leading him in some random direction. )
