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. Besides, it seems this has occurred past month already-- Maybe some people who have been here for longer than you may help.

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/ Neighborhood woes
The government of Aqures Ixen is very sorry, but it seems there are too many of you Heroes of Light. Hence why there is no free houses left in district dedicated to housing you. This may also be why you're not alone in the house that was given to you. Hopefully you're not living with a mad villain plotting to take over the world late at night, and hopefully your neighbor isn't a singer who doesn't know how to sing. On the bright side, you may have someone very cool living with you and an artist next door! It's just not likely.

4/ Crystallis 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 Lure© so you can go and capture your own. You can find details on Chocobo Capture here.

5/ 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.

6/ A thing called Strike
In spite of how old-fashioned it is, Mognet is very useful and odds are that you may have become dependent on it. Hopefully not, because one local tradition seems to be Mognet Strikes. Nobody knows any more whether the Moogles have legitimate reasons to go on strike or if they are just lazy. But today, Mognet is down, and to get information you have no choice but going to the public board in the third district or in taverns.

7/ 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.

8/ 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.

9/ 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!

10/ 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.

11/ 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.

12/ Wild Card
Don't like the options offered here? Go crazy and choose what you want to do in this world!

thegreatninja: (HUH?)

No remorse!

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-23 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuffie blinked a few times before responding. She hadn't really expected him to apologize and it had confused her but only for a brief moment. "Good. Apology accepted."

The young girl beamed up at Baralai like she hadn't done anything wrong. "What you doin' on this road anyway?"
promiseofnewyevon: (What's that?)

Absolutely! Where's the fun in that?

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-23 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
The young priest looked up at the sky and then back to Yuffie. "That's a good question. I was looking for the temples. I would like to see for myself what kind of world we live in other than what is on the surface. I hadn't realized that the path I chose to reach the temples had its own law."

His tone was light that was mixed in with a bit of sarcasm that was very well hidden. Lora flitted off into the woods to look for any kupo nuts that might be nearby. "Ooh! Ku-POOO!"

A loud bang was heard in the distance and Baralai's head turned sharply toward the direction of the sound with a duck. He's heard similar sounds and hadn't quite gotten over it. "What was that?"
thegreatninja: (back)

Hahahahaa LORA!

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-23 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Temples? How boring...

Yuffie's eyes follows Baralai's over to the loud noise. She won't admit that she had jumped a little at the sudden sound but she was just as curious as he was to its cause.

"I don't know." With that she set off towards the sound hoping to get a better view.

Her moogle flew down to float behind her.
promiseofnewyevon: (Will you look at that?)

She's such a mischievous little thing. :P

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
They were a part of his life and ignoring the temples wouldn't do at all. Of course, not everyone thought like he did but it was there all the same.

Baralai followed after Yuffie and felt the urgency. It was what he saw in the woods just off to the side of the path that he stopped in a fast halt that nearly caused him to slide. Lora was charred but not injured and she was holding up what looked like a firecracker.

"I-I-I...oops." She giggled and put the casing behind her back in a bashful way. "It was pretty, but it boomed."

Baralai's eyes were wide at first just before the moment he burst out laughing with his arms around his middle. "I don't think that's a kupo nut."

"THAT'S NOT FUNNY, KUPO!!" Lora threw the charred casing at Baralai's head.
thegreatninja: (piece sign)

Explosions!

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-25 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuffie watched the pair for a moment before falling to the ground in laughter. It was true that she had been saving those for a fantastic trap but this was so much better. "You should see the look on your face!" She rolled to her side letting the giggles shake her small form.

Her moogle followed close behind shaking his head slowly. "I told you not to set those out so they could be found..."
promiseofnewyevon: (Just smile and wave.)

YES!! And it's always the moogle!

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-25 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
The laughter in the area was infectious and Baralai couldn't stop. It felt good to just laugh that his sides were starting to hurt. Even though Lora had thrown the casing at Baralai's head, it didn't make him stop and she chimed in with her own giggles. Wisps of smoke wafted upward that only added to the otherwise hilarious site, the moogle's giggles seemed to have no end.

"Well, it looks like she found a new purpose." Baralai said between laughs.
thegreatninja: (Happy)

Can't stop laughing!

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-25 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
The sight of Lora throwing the casing made her laugh harder. It was to hard for her to stop. Even Mooshoo grinned which was a rare sight and if Yuffie had noticed would have freaked out accordingly.

She gripped her sides as they ached from her excessive giggles. "Yes." She was half tempted to throw another one at the moogle.
promiseofnewyevon: (Will you look at that?)

This is simply adorable in it's hideousness! :P

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-25 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'M NOT CUTE!" Lora huffed through her giggles but that was because she made herself look bad in front of Mooshoo.

Baralai couldn't stop laughing even if he tried and wiped away the tears that came from the laughter. "I think someone has a crush." Baralai teased.

"I-I DON'T!" Her once shiny white fur was turning pink.
thegreatninja: (free spirit)

Yuffie only making things worse!

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Mooshoo raised and eyebrow as he looked at the scene quizzically. He really didn't want to be brought into it. Yuffie bounced up grabbing Mooshoo around the head and bringing him in for a hug. "Aren't you the cutest!"

She then tossed him towards Lora. "You better take good care of him." She winked and gave Mooshoo an evil grin.

He straightened himself up and eyed Yuffie seriously. "Then who would stop you from hurting yourself..."

promiseofnewyevon: (Who?)

Yuffie should be redubbed "The Matchmaker of Moogles"! :D

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-25 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, I think she'll manage. I'll keep an eye on her." Baralai added with an equally teasing expression. He had been around Gippal long enough to pick up a few teasing remarks.

"Besides, Lora needs your help more than Yuffie at the moment, don't you thing? I'm not familiar with moogle physiology."

"B-BARALAI!" Lora stammered in her squeaky shouting. "That's not fair~." She whined with a dramatic sob which only made Baralai smile.
thegreatninja: (Happy)

Mooshoo is not amused

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-25 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuffie fell over in laughter again at Baralai's words.

Mooshoo flew back over and whacked Yuffie on the head. "I don't enjoy being the butt of your jokes..."

"but it's not mine this time... he started it." She pointed up to Baralai with a smile on her face which changed Mooshoo's harsh expression to the priest.
promiseofnewyevon: (Will you look at that?)

Of course not! Neither is Lora at the moment. If he's not careful, moogles will hurt him.

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-25 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Guilty as charged." Baralai wasn't going to deny a single thing and took the accusation with grace. It was true. He did start it but Lora was the catalyst that started the whole thing with her explosive mischief.

Both moogles stare at Baralai harshly and the priest wasn't fazed in the least. In fact, he thought the whole thing was rather cute than something to be alarmed about.
thegreatninja: (Surprise)

Haha getting on Mooshoo's bad side. Good luck. He's like Liam Neeson in moogle form

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-26 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Mooshoo shook his head, bidding his own time. He preferred to handle things in a proper way, his eyes shifted to Yuffie who was still giggling though not as fiercely. "Don't we have something to do..." His tone was annoyed but he was still gentle when addressing the young ninja.

Yuffie jumped up straight and looked around frantically. "Your right! We have to go!" With that she went running off to grab her things from a nearby tree.
promiseofnewyevon: (Who?)

Oh man. I can't wait!

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-26 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Baralai was left wondering what was going on but there was a sense of urgency that took place that forced Baralai's curiosity to grip him. "Ah."

He anticipated that it was between the young sprite of a ninja and her moogle and so he pretty much figured out that whatever she was about to do could end up in trouble. It never hurt to ask. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
thegreatninja: (annyed)

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-27 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuffie skid to a stop and looked back at Baralai skeptically. "It's fraught with danger and terror. Do you think you can handle that?"

Mooshoo shook his head, once again opting to ignore Yuffie's sense of humor.
promiseofnewyevon: (Uh...that's a problem.)

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-27 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
One of the advantages of looking way too kind to hurt a soul, he could hit like a truck and knew how to use his abilities to their fullest. That staff wasn't on his back for show. "I'm certain I can handle it. I have faith in your abilities to protect me."

In all honesty, it was the other way around.
thegreatninja: (Weeee)

Its always about food >.<

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-27 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuffie grinned and nodded. "Alright then!" She ran forward and jumped back up into the tree quickly. It took a minute for her to collect her things and then find her tan cloak. Once everything was messily stuffed into the bad she gave Baralai a smile and waved him over to join her.

"Mission start! Find lunch!" Mooshoo quietly followed, knowing exactly what her plan was. He was clearly not happy with it. "We hunt!"
promiseofnewyevon: (I don't think it's supposed to look like)

I know, right? XD Yuffie, where do you keep all of it? My guess is in her boobs.

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-27 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wait, that's what we're doing?" How dangerous was that, he thought to himself. Granted that he was a bit famished himself but that was a strange mission to begin with. He was reminded of Gippal on his playful days.

Then she mentioned hunting. "I'm...confused. Are we hunting a beast or hunting for a place that serves meals?"
thegreatninja: (attention)

HAHAHA... Yes

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-27 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hunting for food!" Yuffie had no money and as she saw it, in order to get food, you needed money. So they were going to hunt, hopefully find a monster of some kind and then eat it.

She waved one arm in the air like a cheer and smiled happily as she walked down the road. After a few strides she stepped off the path and into the woods.
promiseofnewyevon: (Oh great.)

Wow, where was my brain yesterday?

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-28 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Baralai's shoulders sank visibly then. He remembered his time at the Bikanel Outpost that they had to hunt since rations were given a lower priority to water. It was either carry canteens of water in their packs or food. They made the choice to bring water instead between the four of them and it was Baralai that was left to carry them. It was a hazing for the young priest because he was the youngest and Paine needed to have her hands free for the spherecamera.

He shuddered inwardly at the thought but they were good memories. "Right, I was afraid you were going to say that." He said flatly.
thegreatninja: (annyed)

In your head!

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-29 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Come on it won't be so bad." She took another few strides forward before stopping and dropping out of sight. Yuffie preferred to jump into trees but in this case it was easier to hide in the brush. She pulled Baralai down annoyed at his slowness and gestured in the distance towards a monster.

"There" Her voice was hushed as she pointed.
promiseofnewyevon: (I'm not impressed.)

Of course it was. It's why I can never find it. :P

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-29 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Baralai knew better than to grunt that could potentially scare their, or rather her, chosen prey away. What he saw seemed much too large for even the two of them. It almost seemed a waste.

His face contorted into an expression of shock and horror. "Are you serious?" He mouthed without using his voice.
thegreatninja: (attack)

IM SO TIRED lol

[personal profile] thegreatninja 2014-08-31 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
She just nodded at him with a smile. Her grip on her blade tightening as she jumped up from the bush. The blade left her hand and went spinning towards the beast. Luckily he didn't see it coming but the hit only slowed him down.

The beast turned and roared at Yuffie as her blade circled back and returned to her hand.
promiseofnewyevon: (fighting stance)

[personal profile] promiseofnewyevon 2014-08-31 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Baralai covered his face with his hand. He couldn't stand to watch if she fumbled. She was much too active for his own good and her energy was tiring. He parted his index finger to peek through to see if the beast was charging forward, and he was right.

His hand left his face and grabbed for his staff on his back. "Great, you just angered it instead." He stood up and readied himself for battle. The staff was tucked behind his back with his free arm bent in a ready position with two fingers extended upward that touched his forehead. He could already tell that this wasn't going to be an easy fight and watched the stampeding beast as it crushed the brush under its weight and forceful movements.

As it was about to lunge forwards, Baralai spun out the the way and swept the staff in a spin to land the weighted end on the back of its head. He continued the spin and turned the staff to create a shield around him through the momentum in case it doubled back.
