— Most importantly, have fun!


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!

Maggie just frowned and shook her head. Mommy wasn't a big girl, but she was so good at swinging around big spears and axes. She wanted to fight just like her. It turned out using a big sword took a lot more control than she had, but she wasn't about to give up either.

As the squirrel got knocked to the ground, Maggie was a step behind Sephiroth. She swung her sword over her head in a mighty swing and a long arc...and missed the already dead critter by a good couple inches. Her face screwed into a pout as she looked up at the tall swordsman. "I'll get it n-next time!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Sephiroth watched Maggie's attempt to swing her much-too-large-for-her sword down over her head and then miss the squirrel anyway. For the most part however the 1st class SOLDIER kept his eyes fixed on the death throws of the creature.

He had stepped out and away from his stance once it was over, but couldn't miss the little girl's pouting face turned upwards at him. Sephiroth resisted the urge to frown, as quite obviously to him she had no skill in sword play whatsoever - and it seemed not even a base of knowledge she could use to better herself with.

"You're a little young to be this far out by yourself."

Maggie's pout breaks at Sephiroth's comment. She looks around and seems to finally notice how far from town and the beaten path she's wandered, "Oh...um...I was exploring and the squirrels back near town were too easy, so I came out here. I wanted to get nice and strong like Mommy."

She pouts and rubs her toe in the dirt. She doesn't want to admit she was wrong to wander away like this, but she needed to get stronger faster.

"Th-thank you for your help, m-mister."

At the little girls' comment Sephiroth also looked around and back towards the path that led back towards Aqures Ixen. Looking for some trace of the Mother that was implied Maggie had been separated from. But there wasn't anyone in their direct vicinity other than his chocobo which, for now, seemed content enough with the foliage where he'd left her.

He looked down as Maggie started to pivot her toe on the ground in the very picture of sheepishness. He smiled just lightly, always having been the independent one himself. He didn't usually lower himself to helping lost children find their Mother's but-

"Did you get separated from her? Your Mom?"

Though he didn't have one of his own, Sephiroth knew that family was a very important thing for children to have and they shouldn't lose each other as far as it was possible.
doyoubelieveinmagitek: (Brrr cold)

The little girl nods vigorously, a wide grin on her face, "Yeah! Mommy just had my weapon systems repaired, so we were riding around in Coerthas to test them out. They weren't hurting anything, but I could still make some cool explosions!" It seems the girl's stutter vanished when she talke about her mother, but the topic of weapon systems just made things seem a bit odder. She was talking about it as if it was the most natural thing.

"Anyway, I'm not sure what happened. We were heading to attack some Ixal when I suddenly found myself here. I was hoping she was here too but I haven't seen her."
shinrasfinest: (Don't insult me)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2014-07-19 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
What a strange little girl. Weapons systems? Maggie looked to be five years old. Though the easiness she spoke about her Mother with seemed to back up her story at least. This was the weirdest dream world.

Sephiroth's frown deepened as Maggie went on. He hadn't seen anywhere by the name of Coerthas written on the map he'd been given by Spencer, and just what was an Ixal anyway. He shook his head lightly and pulled his expression back into check, it wouldn't do to appear like the topics had gone right over his head.

"We should head back into town, she might be looking for you there."
