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!

With the monster slain, Maggie finally allows herself to relax. Her sword, nearly as big as she is, falls to the ground with a loud thud. She falls to a knee and pants for breath, but she's all smiles as she looks back at Terra.

"Thanks! I w-woulda had it but it was m-moving too fast! I woulda b-been like POW! BAM! Dead monster!"

[greenmagick]

Terra gives the girl a soft smile. "You would have be amazing. Why don't you have a sword that can let you be just as fast as him? Then there is no way it could even keep up with you."

She gives the girl an encouraging smile.

[doyoubelieveinmagitek]

Maggie grins as she tries to heft up the big sword again. Normally she wouldn't be able to handle such a thing, but it looks like her job crystal is giving her the base strength she needs. Or at least a bare minimum.

"Mommy uses big weapons like these! I wanna be a rough fighter like her! Oooh! You should see her swinging her axe around!"

[greenmagick]

"She sounds amazing. I know I couldn't do that." Then again Terra was always partial to magic.

"I think you need some more practice. Would you like to practice with me?"

[doyoubelieveinmagitek]

It's more than Terra knows, given she's a good 5 inches taller than Anniastae is. Maggie wobbles a bit as she hefts her sword up and slings it back across her back.

"Yeah! Practice is good! W-we can get stronger together!" She punches both fists into the air for joy, and then stumbles as she nearly tips over.

[greenmagick]

Terra smiles. "Yes. Lets go find a target then." She couldn't leave this little girl on her own.

At least until she is strong enough. What were these heroes of light and why is someone so young brought here to be a hero?

[doyoubelieveinmagitek]

Maggie is decidedly less worried about things. She marches along with her heavy sword on her back, grinning all the while.

"This w-would be a lot easier if I still had my energy cannon!"

[greenmagick]

Terra stops and looks down at the young girl. "Energy cannon?"

[doyoubelieveinmagitek]

Maggie grins wide and makes little guns with her hand "Yeah! I'm a biiiiig robot back home! I have this cannon and I can go pew pew pew KABOOOOOM!"

[greenmagick]

Terra looks nervously at the young girl. "Robot? Cannon?" This little girl couldn't be from a place like her world. Could she?

[doyoubelieveinmagitek]

Maggie pauses, looking up and away while tracing her finger in the air, as if trying to recite the next bit as it was told to her. "I'm uhhhhhhh, a M-mark 14 Magitek Assault Unit. I belonged to the Garlean Empire, but Mommy, Uncle-Cid, Uncle-Wedge and Uncle-Biggs stole me and rebuilt me.

[greenmagick]

"You are Magitek armor?" This news made Terra feel nervous. If what this little one said was true it means that it was sentient armor. It was dangerous enough with people in that armor let alone the attitude of a child. She would have to keep an eye on her.

Terra knelt down and spoke in a gentle voice. "I'm from the same place as you. Would it be alright if we become friends? I would love to have someone I know from home here."

[doyoubelieveinmagitek]

Maggie turned and grinned wide. "Really? If you're from Eorzea too then maybe you know my mommy! She's a catgirl. A little shorter than you, but she carries biiiiiig weapons when she fights!" The girl gets so hyper and happy when she talks about her mom. She seems to lose her stutter as well. Unfortunately it sounds like their worlds might not actually be the same.

"But yeah! I love making new friends!"

[greenmagick]

Terra doesn't recognize the name of the place but she doesn't care. Her worry is still there and this child needs someone. At least as a guide. She has seen so many people go down a dark path because of events as a child. She knows best what can happen.

"Great. Lets go then."
