Intro Log || This Keeps Happening
Characters: All the "Heroes of Light" (only new characters can start threads).
Where: Aqures Ixen.
When: The 5th of January. The new Heroes of Light will awaken early in the morning.
Summary: The new Heroes of Light awaken in Aqures Ixen and are informed by their assigned Moogles of what the situation and what their destinies are. This a log for them to react to the situation, meet each other and be welcomed by the former batches of Heroes of Light.
Warning: Snow. Also some leftover decorations from Christmas.
The Hospital
— Anytime —
Characters who have already been in Crystallis before do not wake up by the Crystal of Fire like everyone else. Instead, they will wake up in the Hospital of Aqures Ixen, in a room where there are over a hundred of other Heroes of Light like them-- Maybe even some familiar faces... Except they're all in Crystal Stasis.
A couple Moogles and a few nurses will be waiting by the room, and they will welcome all characters waking up. Upon exiting the room, they will also meet a lot of guards, and they all have for order to shoot anyone that comes out of this room without a Moogle. Hopefully you won't try running out without waiting for your Moogle. As for why the guards are so on edge, it might be a good idea to ask the other Heroes of Light about what happened a couple months ago.
Close Encounters of the Third(?) Kind
— 15:00 —
Characters venturing by between the city's outskirts and the Chocobo Farm at this specific time will be able to see a most peculiar sight: a flying saucer seemingly abducting a Chocobo before flying away and disappearing into the sky without leaving any traces of its presence. If your character do see it, hopefully there will be someone with them. Otherwise, nobody will believe their story.
Was it an UFO or just a hallucination? Previous sightings of such a thing have happened. It might be a good idea to investigate this sometimes...

Warning: Snow. Also some leftover decorations from Christmas.
Where you were or what you were doing— It does not really matter. Not any more. Within an instant, the world around you collapses. Reality twists and shatters... Or maybe you are the one who is collapsing and shattering away from reality as you knew it. No matter what the answer is, it will only take a few seconds for you to find yourself sinking into a void, your world vanishing into the distance. There is nothing but darkness as far as the eye can see. Even you feel different: all the powers you might once have had, are now gone. It is silent, cold and it feels as though life itself is slipping out of you.
At this moment, when it looks as though nothing but a never-ending void awaits you, a red Crystal forms before you. In this void, its warmth compels you to grab it. Upon doing so, you can hear a soft, soothing voice speaking:
"Wake up."
Soon, the void itself vanishes and is replaced by distant noises of engines. Had it all been nothing more than a dream? The soothing voice repeats its call one more time, but is soon replaced with a much less graceful "Wake up Kupo." Hand clutched on your Crystal, the call of the Moogle may finally wake you up. But you are no longer in your world, nor in the void. You are before the Crystal of Fire, in the third district of a city called Aqures Ixen. At this point, you may realize the engine noise actually originates from an Airship flying low over the city and headed to dock beneath the castle. As if it wasn't strange enough, your clothes have changed as well. They are now a reflection of the Jobs you are wielding. Last but not least, you are surrounded by Moogles, small and fluffy creatures who are more than happy to tell you about everything you want to know, about your 'destiny' as a Hero of Light, about what awaits you.
Or at least, they will tell you everything they do know, which isn't much in the end.
The only people around you are like you-- There are quite a few of them, all clothed in their Job garbs and most likely wondering what is happening. If somehow you do not realize it, the Moogle who woke you up will be more than happy to inform you there are others like you around. In fact, there are other Heroes who have arrived in the course of the past year and they will come soon! Like you, they have Jobs and a Crystal.
If asked, the Moogles will mention that the Heroes of Light - that is to say you - are fighting against time to save Crystallis from the Calamity that is about to awaken to devour the entire world. Sounds terrible? Welcome to Crystallis.
The Other Heroes
— Shortly Thereafter —
Thanks to the efficiency of Mognet, it does not take long for the other Heroes to come around: those who arrived in this world within the past year. You may have imagined heroic and charismatic figures when your Moogle told you that there were other Heroes of Light in this city. You may have imagined persons with fearsome powers when they told you about how they managed to push back the Empire and defeat gigantic beasts in the past. And more importantly, you may have imagined them as people who would have all the answers to your, doubtlessly, numerous questions.
If so, you may be up for a tragic disappointment. Still, for the most part they know more than you on the situation and may be more than happy to fill you in, especially if your Moogle didn't tell you much.
The City of Aqures Ixen
— Anytime —
With Christmas being barely over, there are still Christmas Decoration in the streets, and while the reconstruction are nearly over, there are still traces of the attack the Empire led against the city six months ago. A few buildings are being worked on.
And besides the decorations and reconstructions, there are a lot of things to do in the city for newcomers. A few groups of Triple Triad players are playing before Mognet Office in the ninth district, and a Blitzball Match is set to start at 20:00 in the stadium! Characters are also free to visit the city-- Mognet Office just behind the Triple Triad games is filled with Moogles, most of them discussing about the election for the future director of Mognet. They can also visit Airship Port in the twelfth district from where characters can board for free Airships from Shoopuf Airline.
Or maybe you could visit your new house in the 11th District, and get to know your new neighbors and housemate. Hopefully your neighbors are people you will get along with.
The Laboratory
— Anytime —
A location where a lot of Heroes of Light seem to be gathering is Palitutu's Laboratory. It is a place where employed characters can research into various topics. However, most importantly, characters can see a file with their name...
Should your character decide to go there and peek at their file, there are two possibilities. Either the file is corrupted and they cannot access it: too bad for them, but at least their life will remain a mystery. Or should you decide the file isn't corrupted, they will find a summary of their lives up to their canon point, as if written by a third-person omniscient narrator. On the column left to the text, to the top there is a portrait of them, and beneath it there is a 3D model of them. Said portrait and model can be switched to any year of their life. At the bottom there is a percentage, indicating 0%. On the right column, there are various links, most of which are grayed out. The clickable links lead to their Homeworld History and their future post-canon point history (corrupted file for unfinished canons).
At least, they can lock this file away if they don't want anyone to see it.

Dreams about not having her powers were certainly terrifying – they defined who she was. At least, that’s what helped her have a purpose even if she had learned that just being herself was enough. However, when she awoke to a new place, crystal in her hand, that certainly created an uneasy feeling within her. She was cautious as much as she was curious, trying to at least keep a level head on her shoulders considering even her vast knowledge couldn’t tell her the exact location or even speculate. Especially with the sounds of machinery that were foreign to her ears, at least mostly considering the blastia powered devices were no more.
But what is also strange was her normal attire was changed as well, a white robe took its place. Did… did she die? If so, then death wasn’t as painful as she had thought, but it was still rather disconcerting. However, it’s when she heard the high pitched voice of the creature next to her that she came back to her senses.
“Oh, excuse me, could you tell me what’s going on?”
Almost as if the creature expected, she replied courteously, however, also seemed to keep her distance.
“That’s what I’m here to tell you, kupo. The people here should also be able to aid you—“ The moogle is cut off by Estelle trying to reach toward her and pet it, but it ends up flying back.
“Excuse me, but I am not your personal pet. I would ask that you refrain from attempting to pet me, kupo," she retorted, her expression distraught as she flew back to keep some sort of distance between the two while being able to be near Estelle.
“B-but you look so soft,” Estelle replied with a pout on her face.
And that’s how a certain someone arrived and didn’t seem as concerned as she should be.
The City
While she might not be familiar with what festivities happened, she was in awe of the decorations that were put up around the city. With how many questions she had, her moogle was able to answer them with ease, satiating the princess’ curiosity. The two of them can be seen around the city basically having their own question and answer session, pointing out everything that stuck out to her such as the decorations, or what looked like reconstruction. Even the people playing what looks like a sort of game as Luce, Estelle’s moogle, explained blitzball to her.
But even so, her curiosity meant that she wasn’t entirely paying attention as she looked around.
“Watch out, kupo!”
And whoops, she accidentally bumped into someone.
“I’m so sorry, I’m new here and I was just taking in the sights and not paying any attention!” She was quick to answer with a bow of apology.
House B-06
It was nice to at least have a place to stay. While camping was something she got used to, a princess was still used to a room and a bed. Though while she was standing outside her house, she about knocked until Luce informed her there was no need as she cautiously opened the door.
“Please pardon my intrusion.”
Even if it was her house, it still felt like she was a stranger, and yes, these people would be strangers to her. She could only hope that they would, in the end, get along. Then again, she was one who could hole herself up in her room and read if need be. She was able to do that for 18 years, she can do it still.
Waking up
"H-Hello, a-are you okay?" she asked. If Estelle would notice, Tsubomi isn't wearing any of the usual armors or robes of the other classes around.
no subject
"Luce explained everything to me, however, I'm still not quite certain I understand all that's going on." The princess sighed, not really sure how to intake all this.
no subject
"Is there anything I could answer for you?" Tsubomi asked
b-06
"Greetings," he replied with a slight bow and a tone of formality, "My Hero is currently busy, but what can we assist you with, or perhaps you are our new housemate?"
He muses with a softer expression on his face, followed by the blond woman that is now walking towards them. She smiled as she waited for their response. She was working in the kitchen for the meals that were shared with her house mates. She didn't expect any of them to be here so early, but she was a little surprised to see that the voice was neither of her roommates, but a young lady.
The City
"It's no big deal. You should be careful where you're-- Estelle?!"
Perhaps, because it had been a long while since he had seen his friend, that he was momentarily surprised when he looked at the girl more carefully and realized who she was. That explained why he recognized the voice. Repede had stayed a considerable distance between him and Estelle, having smelled her scent before Yuri collided with her. He can't say he's not happy to see one of his friends here. Though, when did she get here and how long ago was it?
This world seemed to enjoy pulling a lot of people from the place he came from. First Flynn, then Raven and then Flynn again. He was grateful that his friend had his memories of this place and somehow Raven was in the Crystal Stasis. Repede himself had just barely been returned to Yuri, so this all was pretty convenient somehow.
"Guess this place finally decided to grab the right people," he replied, mostly t himself, though he smiled at her regardless.
The City
"Of curse kupo!"
Terra had a small collection of flowers in her arms with Tempest, her moogle, floating easily at her side. They were absorbed in their conversation making it difficult for Terra to spot the girl as they collide. A few flowers fall from her arms while Terra tries to stay upright.
Tempest swiftly moved to pick up the flowers while Terra mimicked the stranger and bowed her head.
"Oh no, I'm sorry." There is a slight pause. "I hadn't been paying attention either."
Waking up!
"They're pretty cute, aren't they?" Morgan beamed as he approached, and shot a friendly glance towards his own moogle, Robin. The moogle didn't seem to share the sentiment, as she crossed her small moogle arms and turned to face the other direction. Morgan continued on, undaunted.
"You're new here, right? Have you gotten the introduction lecture yet?"
'Waking Up'
"Not all of us are prudes like that." A feminine moogle speaks up from atop the woman's shoulder, overgrown pink fluff hanging over one of her eyes. "You can hug me if you like, kuupo~" the punky Moogle offers, neither of them having even introduced themselves to the new Hero yet.
The City
It's all right, it was my fault for not watching for pedestrians.
