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.

“Today is… January something?” What was the calendar like here? “Anyway.” Yuffie waved her hand again as if the day didn’t matter.
“You aren’t on your world anymore. This is a different one and I think the fire crystal dresses newbies.” It was a little creepy but it was better than the other thoughts that Yuffie had had about the matter.
no subject
If today even was the same day. "It was New Year's Even the last time I remember." Enough time to transport him and dress him up. Yes, Yuffie, that was kind of creepy. "But why these clothes?"
no subject
See it’s simple!
Though she wasn’t going to elaborate more because that was tedious and she just didn’t want to. Instead she waited for him to figure out what he was thinking or doing before saying more. She’ll answer but slowly and it’ll feel like he’s prying answers from her with each question.
no subject
Subconsciously, he lowered his hand to stuff it into his pockets, but realized something: "My things!" He patted himself down. No Thief Tools. No Egg of Light.
He was screwed.
"Where did they go?!" He turned to his Moogle, who shrugged.
"I dunno. Why don't you ask Dr. Cid about that?" Tamekichi turned to Yuffie this time. "I heard he can bring back your old things, right?" He only heard the rumors from other Moogles, but it would be great it another Hero confirmed it.
no subject
Which really pissed Yuffie off because she had a case of materia that she couldn't use. It was nice to have around because it was familiar, it looked pretty and it made her feel more special than the others fro Gaia who didn't have any but it was still completely useless and hidden in her room for the time being.
"I wouldn't worry about you things anyway."
no subject
"Hmm...I can always buys a new bass and have my suit tailored, but that wig and my tools..." He covered his mouth with a calloused hand and pondered his choices. Wall Staples were useful no matter the situation, but just one would be useless. And what of his friends? If this Cid could bring anything back--
"Wait!" His head shot up. "How can he do that?!"
no subject
“Honestly? I have no clue.” She assumed it was something the wacked out scientist left for them to figure out how to use and she wasn’t one of those with her nose in Palitutu’s lab though she could direct him in that direction.
“Some people are trying to figure it out. If you want to go check out the lab.”
no subject
"The lab...right. Where is it?"
Tamekichi tugged on Duster's baggy red pants. "Hey, I'm your local guide, remember? Just ask me and I'll tell you, kupo."
Duster leaned over and nodded. The Moogles were cute, but this one was pretty rude. It was just as unsettling as if he had found a Mr. Saturn that criticized everyone that talked to it.
"I'll ask him about it. Thanks." There was a lot he had to do. "I'm Duster, by the way."
no subject
She smiled bright with her palms lightly resting on her hips. Yeah she's awesome and everyone should know it.
"Nice ta meet cha."
no subject
"What's a ninja?"
Despite the fact that Thief Training involved lost of acrobatics and use of tools, Wess never referred to him as a ninja. That was not part of their vocabulary.
no subject
"Why do I even bother?" She let out a long sigh before turning to Dusters moogle. "You explain. I have stuff to do."
This was why she didn't like newbies.
no subject
"Right. C'mon, Duster. There's a lot we need to go over."
The corners of Duster's mouth fell as the two grumped together. He just got here, and he already started messing things up. Yuffie is right: time to stop asking questions and just listen to his Moogle.
"Uh, right." He fiddled with a tassel on his vest. "Thanks...for helping me out."
