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.

"A pleasure to meet you, Caius. You definitely look the warrior part. How about you and I have a spar one of these days?" If there's something she knew about fighters, a spar or two can help in many ways. Plus, it would be a good way to test this job system she heard about.
no subject
Caius saw what Lilika was doing and turned his attention away from the shy little moogle.
"Are you certain you can keep up?" He added with a smirk that seemed dark and had spoken volumes.
Perhaps he was flirting but there was something else behind the grin. "Perhaps when matters have settled we shall test each other's strength."
no subject
"Funny, I think that should've been my line. I'm already looking forward to it," Saori said with a confident grin on her face. Even though she didn't have her powers, her experience over the years could easily pick up these hints about him. He was definitely promising in more ways than one.
"Oh my kupo, Saori, are you flirting with him? I don't believe this, kupo!" Brigid whispered to Saori, who promptly covers Brigid's mouth with her hand.
no subject
While he knew he had to be more careful, there were some things that he wouldn't mind risking and a little flirtatious banter never hurt. It was actually pretty refreshing. His eyes quickly scanned her petite yet strong frame and there was a bit of interest there.
Lilika had never seen a hero this predatory before and it made her instantly nervous. "H-hi. I'm Lilika. My hero is a cannibal." She felt like crying just then.
"Hm, we shall see." His voice was low but dark with a bit of playfulness hidden in the tone. He circled around her and Lilika was shaking as she clung on to Brigid. "Make him go away..."
"The matter at hand has me rather perplexed." He stopped and this time the flirtatious glint was gone in a flash once he was satisfied with what he saw. "What world do you hail from?"
no subject
Rather than letting his circling around her intimidate her, she reached for the moogles. Gently she began to rub Lilika's back like how a mother soothed a crying child. Brigid held onto her and refused to let go until she calmed down.
"It goes by the name of Earth but that seems to be a common name even though our worlds greatly vary. Mine's a beautiful but cruel world where the supernatural and gods work and fight behind the scenes of the living and that is all I'll say for now."
no subject
The reality he faced was that his world was gone. Completely and utterly gone. In order to save what was left, he made the choice to end his life, entropy swallowed up what was left and he had no where to go but linger for 500 years in a temple that no longer had any meaning. He refused to be saved and for good reason. He was beyond death and his soul corrupted, he no longer had a soul recognizable to be saved. There was no life left in him the moment he gave his last breath on the shores of Valhalla and he had nothing more to give.
"Humph." He snorted with a lift to his chin. He wasn't about to discuss what happened. Everything changed and being called a hero wasn't something he had in mind. In fact, he hated it. His days as champion of Paddra was long in the past. His desires weren't his own anymore and that bothered him greatly.
"Are you willing to accept this given task?" Caius wasn't so easily convinced. He turned his head to look over his shoulder at Saori.
Lilika cried in Saori's arms in soft whimpers. She felt nothing from Caius but a cold and callous heart and it hurt just being around him.
