— 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 Cid 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

[He doesn't turn around around automatically to see who it was that spoke. The question alone makes it obvious that she, like that guy, had no idea what he was talking about. Truth be told he was kind of relieved by it.

That or he was just too used to knowing no matter where he went, someone somewhere was hearing every single word he said to care that someone overheard. Maybe even both.]


Nah, I'm the one who said it out loud. [He shrugs, turning a bit to look at Terra.] Just glad I'm the only one who has.

[Hopefully he didn't just jinx himself.]
greenmagick: (OH)

[personal profile] greenmagick 2015-08-20 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra genuinely feels awkward. She isn’t used to talking to people, nor is she used to suddenly approaching them. Though there is something about the soft gleam and color of his hair that is familiar. She knows why now though it’s hardly something to start a conversation with.]

Was it bad then?

[She has experience with horrible memories and while these birds here are generally used for good and kept as pets, she can easily see where it might lend itself to horror. She wonders how chocobo’s act in the wild though she keeps that thought to herself as well.

While the pair begin their conversation a few Chocobo move closer; their sights either on Terra’s hair or the flowers in her arms.]
acceptedoblivion: (neutral ♥ I will survive)

[personal profile] acceptedoblivion 2015-08-21 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Her awkwardness isn't initially caught on to; he never had much time for friends in the Tower or back "home" to speak of. What were developing people skills when you were trying to thwart not one, but two powerful groups at once? He wouldn't know; all he had was thanks to memories - though the more recent and true memories he would rather not admit, and the wry smirk crossing his lips when he turns a bit to face her is probably more telling than his words ever will be.]

Yeah. You could say that.

[Not entirely bad, but not nearly as peaceful as one would hope. Then again he may have preferred it that way; it never got dull.

It's probably a good thing he isn't looking behind him now or he'd probably flip seeing the Chocobos come closer at the sight of their dessert.]
greenmagick: (Surprised)

[personal profile] greenmagick 2015-08-21 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ah!

[One chocobo felt bold and walked up so that it could nibble at the bright green of her hair. Terra doesn't have time to rely before a soft sound of protest left her lips. It isn't hurting her but she can't shu the large bird away and keep hold of her flowers.]
acceptedoblivion: (huh ♥ for you-)

[personal profile] acceptedoblivion 2015-08-22 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
H-hey!

[It takes all he can not to outwardly panic, knowing full well what their likenesses have done to others in that helltower. He may have failed a little (or a lot) as he attempts to shoo the bird away.]

Her hair isn't food!

[At least he's pretty sure about that - hair tasted nasty whether it was real or fake.]
greenmagick: (You mean me?)

[personal profile] greenmagick 2015-08-22 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[The chocobo releases her hair just as Terra tries to pull away. In her haste, her collection of plants fall to the ground. She can see the gleam in the chocobo's eyes and she quickly pushes Riku away from the soon to be frantic birds.]

I'm sorry.

[When they are a few steps from the birds she relaxes watching as they eat. She'll have to bring another for the man who ran the chocobo farm.]

Thank you for helping me.
acceptedoblivion: (alive ♥ when you're beside me)

[personal profile] acceptedoblivion 2015-08-29 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Ira blinks in confusion, startled at the sudden movement as he's pushed away from the large birds and the pile of flowers that now lay on the ground. Usually it's him doing the pushing, not the other way around.

Since when did others (especially strangers) care about a fake like him, anyway?

He doesn't say anything about the apology, not really speaking about it was probably for the best as he took a few steps further from the chocobos who were starting to chow down.]


Didn't really do much. [He shrugs it off with a half-attempt at a smirk.] Don't know why they'd think hair's so tasty, anyway.
greenmagick: (huh)

[personal profile] greenmagick 2015-08-29 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra steps away as well, surrendering the treats that were in her arms. Her fingers lightly tug a a loose strain of green that has fallen from her pony tail.]

Maybe... because it smells like flowers?

[She blinks bringing her arm down to her sides.]

Ah, I work at a flower shop and I'm there most days.

[Terra doesn't understand having a fake version of ones self. She's still trying to figure out who she is.]
