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!

rhapsoidein: (In the interaction of a lover)

Genesis wasn't buying it. "No asks 'who are you' just because they weren't expected. So, what is it? I haven't seen you in a very long time, but I didn't honestly think you would forget me."

No, they were not on the best of terms, at least on her world. But that didn't explain his reaction. Being angry with her or upset, maybe even ignoring her, sure. But to act like she was a total stranger? That just didn't happen.
shinrasfinest: (Calm)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2014-07-05 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It was his dream. It was supposed to go whichever way he directed it!

Then why did this version of Genesis not simply accept what he had said and roll with it? Her reaction caused Sephiroth to gauge her more carefully, searching her face almost looking for the reasoning that should be easily discernible. It was no good though, Sephiroth simply couldn't read Genesis the way that he had been able to before.

It had been a long time since he'd seen his friend, but the nuances of expression didn't seem to fit right on a female face. Jarring, to say the least.

"I didn't expect to find you in mage robes, that's all." Sephiroth spoke somewhat nonchalantly in reply, determined forever in his coolness to brush off this strange circumstance.

"Your hair has grown some as well, if I'm not so mistaken."
rhapsoidein: (I just close my eyes)

[personal profile] rhapsoidein 2014-07-08 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's not that different," She unconsciously went to fix her hair, muttering softly. "What I'm wearing shouldn't have effected my appearance. You're just not going to say anything, are you?"

Genesis sighed and stepped forward to the railing, resting her elbows against it. This place was so.different but she knew it wasn't a dream. Her imagination wasn't this colorful. Genesis looked over at Sephiroth. "So how long have you been here?"
shinrasfinest: (Over shoulder)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2014-07-09 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
He set his jaw, Sephiroth clearly wasn't doing a very good job of diverting her attention from the fact that he hadn't recognized her. Genesis, to him, was a guy. He didn't generally have very many females who were even in his acquaintance, let alone on the same level of friendship that Genesis had been. Just what was subconscious doing?

So he just stayed quiet, yet followed her step over towards the railing and even turned towards her as well. The robes really didn't do anything for her, but they were in their hugeness the best way to hide any body language signals that he might otherwise have picked up on.

"A few days." Just like that, the subject was dropped. Flattened out just as well as his tone.
rhapsoidein: (And a mate)

[personal profile] rhapsoidein 2014-07-10 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Genesis was only going to drop it for now. She will pick it back up when the time was right. When that was, she wasn't sure. But she wasn't too worried about it. "Hm, I'm about the same. But I didn't see you before the airship."

Of course, he also didn't see her, clearly. They must have just missed each other, then. Of course, how they just missed each other given their looks was anyone's guess.
shinrasfinest: (Light Smile)

[personal profile] shinrasfinest 2014-07-15 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
He might well have actually seen her, but -well- he didn't recognize her as Genesis close up so wouldn't have done so from a distance either. Not that Sephiroth was going to be baited into bringing up the subject that he'd just bluntly dropped.

Never mind the fact that he wasn't expecting to see anyone recognizable, considering these faces had to be conjured by his slumbering subconscious.

"We probably just missed each other. There were a fair few passengers that boarded at the last stop."
