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...

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.

City
"Woah! Hey watch it!" The voice was the same. And the face was almost there, though about five years younger and a lot more emotive than the Cloud of World B. A bespectacled moogle fluttered out of the alleyway to his side.
"Is everything alright, kupo?"
no subject
"Cloud?!"
It was Cloud! But he looked...
Tidus frowned, leaning forward, as if that somehow made any difference while he tried to get a better look at him. "Did you shrink?"
There was a loud voice following him that he realized belonged to the moogle who insisted on following him. "I can't float that fast, kupo!"
no subject
"I, uh, yeah, I'm Cloud. I'm sorry but...who are you? I...might not be the Cloud you remember. This isn't the first time this has happened." Cloud looked somewhere between embarrassed and just a touch upset at the situation. The arrival of the moogle made his eyes light up in understanding. "You're one of the new Heroes." At least he wasn't being mistaken from his doppelganger.
no subject
"I'm not sure I fully understand. But that explains why you look younger. I'm Tidus, by the way. We fought on the same side." He was still glad to see him. He shrugged absently. "Apparently. So are you." It was still weird to think about in too much depth.
no subject
"Tidus...so you're from Gaia too...that's weird the...I don't remember you from..." He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers, "Sorry. This world likes to toy with us sometimes. Show us visions of things we may or may not have lived through. It feels real when it happens though."
He shook his head and held his hand out. "Let's start over. I'm Cloud. Nice to meet you."
no subject
He shook his hand. "Nice to meet you too!"
I'm so sorry, I wound up being tied up for a few days
Cloud's handshake started tentative but firmed and he gave Tidus a solid smile, "Zanakand huh? Never heard of it...So how do you know me then?" Even if it was from another world or something it was better than having someone show up from his future and expecting him to be a certain way.
no worries and no rush!
"Zanarkand's the city that never sleeps," He grinned, just glad he could talk about Zanarkand without being looked at as if he was crazy. He was used to being stared at. Being stared at and having his whole past seen as a dream brought on by the toxin was a different matter. "Oh, uh...we fought on the same side together on a different world. To tell you the truth, we didn't talk that much, you're kind of quiet, but I trusted you more than a lot of our other...allies, so there was that."
Re: no worries and no rush!
A fight in another world though? This isn't the first time people mentioned being brought to other worlds or battling alongside him. His face tightened up a bit at the thought but he didn't turn away from Tidus.
"That's...good to know I guess. There are some others here who knew me from their world's too. Or other worlds. I'm not sure how to feel about it but...I guess if you trusted him I hope you can trust me too."
no subject
That he definitely never went to when Auron told him not to because his guardian was too strict and he just wanted to prove he could handle it or anything. "But a lot of the parties happened...more where I lived."
There was a subtle shift in his expression. He still had the same relaxed smile, but his eyes were more focused. This was probably kind of awkward for Cloud. He nodded in understanding.
"I trust you, Cloud. But I don't know a lot about you. So, are you from Midgar?"
It was easier to talk about things that were already familiar. At least, it was for him.
no subject
"Ah I see. So you were a celebrity then or something?" He didn't mind answering questions about himself, but he wanted to be sure to figure out a thing or two about this newcomer in exchange.
"Not originally. I grew up in a small town in the mountains called Nibelheim. I moved to Midgar when I joined the army. That's where I was before I wound up here."
no subject
"Huh. So you're from the mountains. You didn't strike me as the city type, so I can't say I'm surprised. Moving to the city must have been a big change. But what kind of army does your world need?" The only thing that came to mind for him was the Crusaders. It would explain why Cloud was such a good fighter.
no subject
But when Tidus asked about the army he got a little shifty eyed and looked a little uncomfortable. "Well...there wasn't really a threat. There was a war against Wutai but...It was basically an army belonging to ShinRa. The company that built all the Mako reactors we use."
