— 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?
13/ Wild Card

"So you are deaf as well as in my way." A huff. If only he could use the Gate. He might take a lot pleasure and smashing a few dozen full teacups into her face. He likes his women wet. "I can't say I'm disappointed. I hadn't expected much to begin with."
no subject
"Huh...thought I heard some kind of buzzing noise. Must be my imagination if I'm deaf." she shrugs and keeps continuing to drink her tea. A minute later she turns to face the strange man and grins.
"Oh, by the way I still want that written agreement saying this house is yours. With the Seal of the officials of this city on it."
no subject
"And while you're finding them make use of yourself and pour a real drink." He prefers wine, but won't tell her. He'd rather have the pleasure of scolding her when she comes back with mediocre alcohol. He only drinks the best because he deserves the best. If she can't produce the same papers she desires him to provide well. The house if free game, isn't it? Guess who's going to lose.
no subject
"Sadly I can't seem to find mine. So we might as well share the place."
Deal with it Gil.
no subject
"No." A wide grin spread across his lips. "You can see to it you are gone in the morning." He chuckles. "Unless, of course, you plan to cater to the needs of your king." The way his eyes sweep across her is near illegal, and completely obscene. His tone turns velveteen, seductive. "You certainly have the body for it, sun wench." It's her fault for never telling him her name. Now he has license to come up with every other degrading pet name for the rest of eternity. But let's be real, he would have insulted her regardless.
no subject
Celestia knows that look and her neutral mask drops to a almost glare at the mention of both the name and the fact that he dares mention that she should use her body for such things. Secondly, the fact that this king seems so foalish and selfish that he seems to put the needs of himself over his subjects makes her wonder how good of a ruler he really is with that attitude. The differences between them are clear with him being a pompous ass and expecting those lower than his station to cater to his every whims. Her on the other hand while having all her power chose to try and remain humble and help her subjects.
And this man is seriously pressing her buttons. Not to mention if Sombra was there, he'd more than likely try and beat him up.
"First of all, my name is Celestia so no more 'sun wench' from your mouth, understood? Secondly, I do not follow you since you are obviously in a world where neither of our royal titles mean anything to the natives here as long as we help them. Thirdly, the form I have now is not my real one unless you enjoy imagining myself with four legs, wings and a horn so I would suggest any thoughts you have had be squished immediately."
cw: some descriptions of violence and some sexism
"I will call you what I wish because I wish it. What you don't seem to understand, sun wench, is titles do matter." He laughs. "What of it if your true form differs? You are a woman now and you should feel honored you caught my attention." The same as Arturia, Celestia doesn't know her place in the world. Most women never do.
"Further still, I am not speaking with the natives of this world. I am speaking to you. If you insist on throwing your own authority around don't be so surprised when I squash it." He tilts his head some, examining her still. "I will do as I please, whenever I please. Now." He smiles, waves a hand toward her. "See to it you don't annoy me further and fetch the wine."
I regret nothing
What was that phrase again? Don't get mad but get...even?
The sun princess is silent as she walks into the kitchen and starts to look for what he had asked for, finding a rather large bottle of red wine. That would do. She smirks a little as she pops it open and pulls out a single glass, heading back toward the man sitting down. But if she had a glass already, why didn't she pour it in there?
"I hope this will suffice." She speaks with a calm smile and sets the glass beside him. "Say when."
But the wine never hits the glass. Instead, Celestia decides of a better place for it: all over Gilgamesh's head and doesn't stop until it's all gone. Oops.
"I bet that was refreshing." She yawns as her moogle floats close by and squeaks at the scene. "Well, it seems that this meeting has tired me out. I may take a bit of a nap."
Yep, time to split upstairs before he tries anything.
