— Reply with a character you wish to test in the game's setting.
— Feel free to use one of the prompt below or make one of your own!
— Tag around! This is a panfandom RP, so don't hesitate to tag both castmates and non-castmates.
— 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. 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/ Events of the Past
Missed an event you would have liked to participate in? The Test Drive Meme is the perfect place to play this event without being restricted by the game's chronology! Maybe you would have liked to capture a Chocobo during Crystalis de Chocobo, maybe you would have liked to be lost and attacked from all sides in the creepy Magitek Research Facility, or maybe you'd like to celebrate the Christmas of Crystallis. Yet again, maybe you would have liked to regain your true power and subsequently be on your path to death, as in The Night of the Thirteen Moogles. Or how about participating in Christmas at Crystallis or fighting in a war for the warriors among you?

The panda had saved China and Kung Fu already, who was to say he couldn't save the world? It was only the natural progression, if he thought about it.
"Don't you worry, guys, the Dragon Warrior is here!"
no subject
But a larger bear, boasting a dragon's title? It was enough to make him wonder if he had wandered into a comedy. Curiosity roused, Aerich brought a hand in in a minor gesture to catch the warrior's attention.
"Pardon," he said. "But I nearly think you have said something famous."

Alisaie Leveilleur | Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn | 2/3
Having stayed closer to the third district in order to gain her bearings on the city layout, finding a library was naught short of a blessing to her. After all, keepers of world knowledge as tomes were could be a valuable asset to understanding this world and why the moogle that insisted on following her wheresoever she went.
Not that she believed a word of it. "Hero of Light" was more befitting a title for the adventurers who stood by her side as bodyguard, or even the other Scions and her grandfather. Why they would think her one was completely outlandish in her mind. Still, while concerns from home plague her mind... she may as well attempt to study a few of the tomes she picked up from the library shelves. Mayhap they would hold a shard of truth pertaining to the Crystals and the ongoings of this realm, so that she might be able to return to watching over her brother in his own antics all the sooner.
...If whomever it was that was talking so loudly inside said library would settle down. With a small sound of indignation, she turned on her high heels and began walking away. Hopefully no one stood in the way of a tiny elezen attempting to distance herself from the noise. Or perhaps that's your intent? After all, she certainly doesn't seem to know where she's going...and is still rather perplexed she can read these pages as they are not in Eorzean.
[3]
After a long day in the library and attempts to familiarize herself with the city, she would want naught more than to rest in this... lodging that the government hosts were so kind as to offer upon her arrival. However, it seems as though neighbors have different plans as the sound continues to blare rather loudly into the early and late evening bells. Unfortunately for anyone living with her, this has a tendency to make her rather incredulous at times.
"'Tis as if they are having a feast." Shouldn't they be more focused on what ails this world? she wants to imply, but who knows if this person can catch her not-so-subtle queues.
no subject
That done, he could set it aside and gain his feet to properly address her. "Perhaps they are," Aerich answered, waiting for her to look his direction before he would tilt his head in greeting. "Should a complaint be lodged?"
oh wow how did this get in the spam folder???
Guy Cecil | Tales of the Abyss
Okay, he'd heard there were airships here, and that news was exciting enough by itself. Airships, as in more than one of them--he'd never even seen one flying machine let alone more.
But now he could say that he's ridden on one, at least. And explored one, even though he'd unfortunately been turned away from the ship's bridge for 'security reasons'.
So he's situated himself at one of the railings on the side, watching the world go by below instead.
"It's so weird, being able to see this world from so high above it."
5/
"You said you can duplicate letters, right?"
"Yes, of course! There's a slight delay, if you don't mind that."
"Nope."
After several hours, the following letter will arrive in the mail:
This might be a strange request, but I'm looking for some people I know who might've ended up in this world.
Luke fon Fabre, Tear Grants, Jade Curtiss, and Anise Tatlin are the ones I'm wondering about at the moment. Write me back if you know anyone by those names.
-Guy Cecil
13/
Wildcard! Have you run into Guy on the streets and want to say hi? Maybe you're a housemate and he's hogging the kitchen/bathroom. Maybe you're a neighbor

Housemates Meeting for $500! (and feel free to let me know if I need to change anything!)
It looked like she'd beaten her ~mysterious future roomie~, however (either that, or they'd left to go do something? One or the other). Cue her casually wandering through the place and idly fidgeting with things such as the faucets, and whatnot, until the person showed up.
As soon as he stepped through the door, she'd be emerging from the kitchen. Her fingers were interlocked behind her back, as she just slightly tilted her head to the side. Talk about hot with a capital "h"... Of course, she had the common sense and self-control to realize where priorities should go. With a bright smile, she cheerfully greeted him with a small wave.
"I'm guessing you're my future roommate!" A teasing tone would surface as she added -- after lifting one hand from behind her back, and then giving him a small wave, that was, "Well, it's either that or you're some intruder whose butt I'm about to kick!"
\o/

The mage approached the side of he ship, left hand grasping the railing as she gazed upon at this new world they - like all passengers - are passing by. It interested her greatly, how this world was so much like her own yet was so different all the same.
"However, even I - a frequent flyer - still find myself fascinated by the sights of the wider realm as they pass by so quickly."

Did someone say 'doing science on the front lawn?'
Despite what the amount of clutter still on her lawn might suggest, Asbel bot 2.0 was nearing completion. It was beginning to resemble an actual robot, and all she needed to do for it to be ready for a test run was tighten this screw here and...
BAM
...Or maybe not. Well, this was certainly going to take a long time to clean up. Maybe one of her neighbors can help her out?
13 -- Or maybe Auron's just wondering if Guy will set his house on fire
He honestly had no idea what Guy was trying to create in front of his house. If it turned out to be an explosion, it would, at least, be entertaining. So he sat down to watch, occasionally taking a sip from the jug at his waist.
Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)
[Okay, sure, Ion could have gotten a chocobo from the farm. A nice, docile bird that would be easy for someone with no riding experience. But catching his own sort of sounds like fun. And how hard can it be, really?
Except that when he set off the chocobo lure, he wasn't expecting the bird to show up with company. Two Buer are flanking it on either side. Not terribly strong monsters, but Ion is a white mage. And low level. And has no access to fonic artes. This is not likely to end well.
He's more worried about his moogle though, a nervous little thing clinging to the back of his robe. Ion gives him a gentle smile, trying to sound more confident than he feels.]
Find someplace to hide, okay? Don't worry, I'll be fine.
[The moogle takes him at his word and nods before flitting off behind a nearby rock. Honestly though, he could probably use a hand. He's... not exactly used to fighting. Help him out?]
B-{Aaannd some 3~}
[Most people probably don't knock on their own doors, but considering that he was only just assigned this housing, Ion feels it's appropriate to introduce himself to his new roommates politely. When the door opens, he smiles brightly.]
Good evening! My name is Ion. I've been assigned to live here.
[He sounds almost apologetic, since suddenly having a stranger move into your house would be weird for anyone.]
Do you mind if I come in?
Re: Fon Master Ion | Tales of the Abyss (Very tentative voicetest. orz)
What are you doing here alone? That's stupid.
[because that is totally helping]

And this is how Luke got his first gray hair.The redhead's suppressing the urge to release a somewhat exasperated groan as he quickly rushes over to stand in front of Ion, making use of that Thief Class speed. Damn it, he'd suggested he wait until later to do this... But of course the Fon Master had to go and focus more on the fun aspect of this whole thing, didn't he. Sigh.
Of course, he isn't genuinely annoyed at Ion, himself; he never really is.
This is just how it goes when he worries a lot about someone he cares about, but doesn't want to outright be all, seriously, stop making me worry so much, you gentle-hearted idiot. You already died once, so it would be kind of nice to not... you know... lose you again. Thanks.] Fine, huh?
[His own moogle -- named... Ion, to make matters not confusing at all -- is moving over to accompany Ion's. The redhead is moving to stand next to his friend as he draws his weapon and focuses on casting his first spell -- Dualcast!
Next, he'll be going for Borrowed Time on each one, but... Will he be able to make it before the monsters launch their first attack? Let's find out.]
(no subject)
that's terrible xD
Isn't it? ^^; Also I love your icon.
no subject
[Not long after Ion finds himself cornered by the Buer, a third bird dashes into the picture, carrying Ion's knight in shining armor. Okay, maybe less of a knight in shining armor and maybe more of a small black-haired girl riding awkwardly on a Chocobo.]
[Either way, the Buer are low level, and Anise makes pretty quick work of both of them. Once they're down, Anise jumps off the Chocobo and runs towards Ion.]
Ion! Are you okay?
[Her voice is mostly worry, but there's a tinge of frustration.]

Luc | Suikoden Series (Suiko 2 timeframe)
Luc walked down the streets of Aqures Ixen, slowly- he hated breaking a sweat- but purposefully. He’d had his moogle, Mognaat, retrieve his mage’s robes from home, and he wore them now. He preferred the lighter, softer material and the green and white color scheme over the heavy black robes and pointed hat of Crystallis mages. Only inferior mages felt the need to compensate for their lack of power with giant hats.
He carried a wooden box with him, which he plopped down none too gently in front of the public posting board. On it, painted letters revealed it to be a ‘Suggestion Box’, and opening the lid exposed over a dozen little slips of paper, each with a message.
‘Can we get a bathhouse already?’ ‘Go find a Rune Master for us. This is embarrassing.’ A few such notes read.
Luc pulled a second, smaller box from the first. It held pencils and more paper. He left it atop the first box. He could not be the only Hero to have complaints about this place.
3. Neighborhood Woes
His new housemates might not like it, but Luc had a job to do, and he only ever worked on his own schedule. So if the motivation to carve names into his Stone Tablet of Promise struck in the wee hours of the morning, they would just have to deal with the sounds of hammer and chisel on stone.
“Can’t believe they don’t even know what star they’re born under,” he grumbled as he chipped away at the stone slab. “Making me do all the work. Lady Leknaat better appreciate this.” He continued muttering and carving, sleeping roommates be damned.
Random Encounter
Mognaat claimed that wind spells would come to him in time, but experience had taught Luc that, well, experience was what he needed to level up his magic. So the wind mage picked a time when some other heroes were heading outside of the city to train and followed along.
He found himself several yards away from some creature he could not identify, comprised of floating, bobbing red bits. He hated using the other elements when he didn’t have to, but he couldn’t attack with his staff from his position of safety.
“They don’t even a Pixie Rune for me. What am I doing here?” he complained, even as he drew up his staff and started the chant that would utilize the power of his second job, summoning.
3!
"Starting the day a bit early aren't you?" he said, going over to check out what Luc was working on. He slept in his clothes, and this was not considered unusual to him.

He's walking by when he spots Luc setting up the suggestion box, and ends up stopping to watch, not really realizing it's probably rude to stare.
"A suggestion box?" Mr. Lazlo had put up one of those, on the ship..... but who would read the notes here?

Albel Nox // Star Ocean 3
"I have to what?"
Being informed that he would soon have to share a living space with strangers did not go over very well with Albel. No, the warrior was seething. He hadn't had to share... well, anything in a long, long time, and never with strangers. Even traveling with Fayt and his ragtag bunch, they spent some time in close quarters, but they weren't exactly strangers.
Ugh, at least he'd get his own room -- right?
So that's where he was now, stalking up to the door like a panther about to kill, fumbling with the keys and passing over the threshold...
4/
A domestic beast would surely be faster than walking everywhere, and Albel was unconvinced he had to stay here. "Heroes of Light?" That may be, but the fact that there was no other information on what that meant for such "heroes" did not inspire confidence. If no one could tell him how to get home, or what was required to do so, he'd go off and figure it out himself.
He just... didn't expect the weird, giant bird-things.
"People ride... those?" he asked, indignant as he stared. He was Albel Nox -- he rode dragons -- and they couldn't even supply him a proper horse?
13/
Albel didn't trust the weird, furry little thing that kept following him around, chirping advice and irritating "kupos." Like hell was he going to trust letter-writing to a creature, and one that could barely speak right. No, once he found out there was a public board in town, that's where he intended to go for information and to reach out to these other... "heroes."
The "moogle," as it was apparently called, continued to trot at his heels as he took long strides, offering letters and paper and other materials. It was rather insistent about doing its job. Albel snatched a piece of paper and one of the strange ink-sticks that the moogle offered and scrawled his own note.
Seeking the heroes of Airyglyph -- Albel Nox

Unfortunately for Albel, this giant bird had it's own ways of expressing affection. It's beak is quick to latch onto one of Albel's hair tails once it's within close enough distance to do so.

Barkeep | Thrilling Adventure Hour
"Now listen here," Mordecai cut the Moogle off in the middle of his explanation. "I understand that you're hopin' I stay here and help you all out, but my adventurin' days are looong over." He swiftly cut his hand through the air for emphasis.
"B-b-but sir!" Felton ran up to him and tugged on his Illusionist robes. "You don't have a choice! A lot of other Heroes want to go home too, kupo, but we don't have any method to send you back!"
Mordecai responded with a relaxed laugh. "No need to go worryin' your head off 'bout that. I got my own methods." He pulled the Moogle off and set him aside. "Here we go."
Nothing happened.
"Huh. Always worked this way before. Lemme try that again." He stood with his feet wide apart and arms outstretched, raising his chest towards the sky. "What in the world...? Why isn't this workin'?!"
Felton the Moogle watched in rapt confusion as his Hero continuously made that pose right in the middle of the crowd of new Heroes.
2. A Bar
The former barkeep sat alone on a stool, observing his surroundings with a grimace. This place was filthy. He had planned on sitting at a table, but the countertop looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The service was poor, the food was unfamiliar and bland, and there were fights popping up every ten minutes.
"How can you run a place with all this trouble goin' on inside it?" He wondered out loud, though to no one in particular.

"You're not even kidding! What's with the restaurants in this city? Some of them are just... barbaric!"

4/7/9
Honestly, Vincent was glad to see that some things remained the same. Moogles actually weren't creatures in a videogame, this world ran on crystals, he had to relearn all his hard-fought and trained for skills--but there were still chocobos.
His moogle, Ophelia, at least was aware enough at the moment to sense he was not in the mood for listening to her chatter. She'd already told him all the details about his new 'life', and his destiny! It was so poetic, according to her.
Vincent was more inclined to focus on the basics. Trekking out to the farm (and vaguely disappointed it wasn't the farm he knew), and... They didn't use greens? Crystals again? He took the purple 'lure' from the old man, and eyed it skeptically. Ophelia was chattering away again, going on about how he'd look so heroic on a chocobo. Especially if they could get a Red one! It'd be so dramatic with his hair and cape!
Vincent sighed, checked his gun and ammo, and headed out on foot. As they got closer to likely places, he hushed Ophelia. Warning her that no, they'd be likelier to GET a rare chocobo if she didn't scare them all away first. Her eyes had rounded, but she had gone quiet and activated his lure.
Airship Explorations!
Vincent missed the Highwind. Airships weren't new to him, but in a world that was both familiar and not, he missed the comfort of the familiar. He even missed Cid's language, which was a bit surprising. Still it was the best way to get to other major hubs of activity, and continue his exploration.
Ignoring how the wind whipped his hair around, and fanned out his cloak; he'd kind of missed the view.
Cue Battle Music (Random Encounter)
Vincent took careful aim, side-stepping and moving slightly back as one of the goblins as it feinted towards him. The sound of his gun echoed, driving it back and causing a chattering amongst the others. This was more annoying than anything else.
Apparently a small group of them had decided he looked like a good victim. They were finding out differently as he kept his distance from them while taking shots. They'd only managed to get part of his gil when one dared too close, and frankly he was hoping to scare them off soon.
Annoying.
Chocobo
Yuffie was riding atop a yellow chocobo with her moogle fluttering close behind. He didn't seem so thrilled at Yuffie's new burst of energy after hearing a strange silent hero in a red cloak appeared. Of course it was Vincent, who else would it be? So she rush off to met him.
As the chocobo approached it gave no indication of stopping. Instead Yuffie jumped from the saddle tackling Vincent with a wide hug.
"Your here! That's so awesome!"
[ooc: Was almost tempted to tag Yuffie sick on an Airship.]

Connor Kenway | Assassin's Creed III | 1/4
Connor furrowed his brow at the strange little thing floating he had been speaking with. The last thing he'd remembered before waking up in this world, clad in a strange set of armor and a spear by his side.
"I understand that this world is not my own." He'd been working to keep his tone patient, but the urgency was beginning to burn through his words. He had to get back, the Homestead was likely to be in danger from the Templars after his defeat on Lee and it was his burden to make sure that his wrath hadn't endangered those who put trust in him.
He'd already failed in that once. The moogle, failing to notice his discomfort flew around him and gently pushed at his shoulder.
"We should get going, kupo! We've got a lot more Heroes to meet."
Stubbornly, Connor did not budge at the pressure at his back and sighed.
"I am asking how to get back to my own world. You should give me an answer, creature."
4
Splayed on the ground after being thrown from his mount, Connor assessed his situation and wondered what the penalty for 'losing' a chocobo was. Kanen, his moogle, was little help at the moment - laughing at the predicament the silly bird was posing.
He'd caught the beast after following it's trail for a few hours, cleverly dropping onto it from the top of a small hill. To his great luck, the chocobo was friendly and he managed to ride for several miles before wanting to play.
"I don't have time for this." Connor grumbled as he got to his feet, the chocobo fluffing it's feathers. As quick as the assassin was, the beast was far more spry at the moment and dodged out of arms reach with a great 'WARK!'.
1
He didn't seem so concerned to be in this world. He stopped when he saw the taller hero looking up at him in awe.
"Did you know that moogles like to eat grass but it doesn't taste good." Greg smiled as his moogle shook his head. "That isn't true kupo."
"No it's not! It's a ROCK FACT!" Greg pulled a rock from his pocket after setting down the frog.
Greg | Over the Garden Wall
Wirt? Wirt!
Well frog he isn't here.
[The young boy circles his frog ignoring the moogle that floated nearby. Whom he's already attempted to change the name of.]
You stay here. I'll get directions.
[He wanders up to the first person he sees with a pot on his head and a smile on his face.]
Excuse me. I'm lost! Have you seen my brother Wirt?
9/Random Encounter
[He carries the frog on his head with the moogle floating close behind him. He spots a monster and places the frog down before taking a few steps back.]
Come on Fred. Get him!
[The frog croaks once before jumping off. Greg follows behind with a pout.]
No! Not that way!
13/Wild card

....Wirt?
[Elena hadn't expected to be approached by a small boy. Especially one wearing an...interesting hat. If you could call it a hat.]
No, I don't think I've..
[Pausing, she looks around for a second before squatting down so she's more at his level. Because if there was one thing Elena had a soft spot for, it was small children.]
I don't know if I've seen him, there are a lot of people in the city. What does your brother look like?

Rysher Thianno | OC
As a very spoiled prince, Rysher is not adept at surviving on his own. And you, unfortunate roommate, have to deal with his attempts. Rysher's not one to slack off or whine about having to do his chores. Instead, he rolls up his sleeves and goes after them with gusto, reveling in his new-found freedoms.
However, this is why the kitchen stove is currently on fire. There goes dinner. Rysher is holding up a pot lid defensively and is desperately looking around for something he can use to put it out.
"Ooooh god oh god oh god..."
--
[B - the battle at Esdham]
Sure, in theory, heading into battle with his cool new powers sounded incredible. A real Hero, fighting to save others! Except that as soon as the Heroes land and get a view of the carnage that's ensuing, Rysher has completely frozen up. He's holding his sword out defensively, but it's trembling in his hands, and his eyes won't stop tarting from scene to terrible scene within view.
This has left him to be a sitting duck, and an Empire warrior has his sights set on the terrified teenager. If Rysher isn't broken out of this shock, he'll be dead in a minute.
--
[C - Employment]
Rysher's never had a job before, and the idea sounds exciting. And who knew they let people other than moogles work for Mognet? This sounded like a great opportunity to meet new people and learn his way around, and make some money while he was at it.
No one mentioned the moogle costume, though. Rysher approaches you looking completely defeated and embarrassed, holding out an envelope.
"Letter for you."
C -
"Oh, no. I'm sure it's not for me. Thanks for trying to cheer me up."

A
Tear Grants | Tales of the Abyss
She knew from the moment Sein had explained her new role as a 'Hero of Light' that she would have to essentially learn to fight again. Swords weren't entirely unfamiliar, but the one in her hand felt undoubtedly foreign as she parried another strike from the bandits attempting to fell her. One step back, two, search for the opening—
Then one of the three decides to lung forward, forcing her to parry the strike again. This encounter, easy at it should be to handle, was a fight against the rhythm of a melodist she was used to. It was time to learn a new song as she quickly focuses on one single action.
"Thunder!"
4 ) A match made in heaven.
Tear had been handed some Chocobo Lure, and she had every intention of using it to seek out a mount of her own, but for the time being? Her attention seems to be entirely occupied by two bright and bouncing yellow balls of feathers, intent on following her wherever she may go. Not that she entirely minds this, because...
Because...
"Kweh!"
They were just so cute and there she was again, kneeling down to welcome them into her waiting lap and a delighted smile.
13 ) Wildcard!
Do you have a scenario in mind or just want to idly chat? Throw it in this slot.

Asbel offers an easygoing smile down at the young woman, not finding this scene at all odd or out of place. He isn't really here for the chocobos, though; he's actually just a chaperone - as evidenced by his regular darting glances off into the distance where another girl is also busy befriending the yellow birds. Maybe he shouldn't have let her wander off that far alone? The little ones seem harmless enough, but, man. He sure hopes they don't bite...
