Intro Log || Third Time's the Charm

Characters: All the "Heroes of Light" (only new characters can start threads).
Where: Aqures Ixen.
When: The 5th of November. 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. For the first time since it all began, it seems they are the first batch not to have any sort of problems: small miracles?
Warning: N/A


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 arrived these past months too and they will come soon! Like you, they had Jobs and a Crystal-- And you do have your Crystal too, great news!

If asked, the Moogles will mention some "disastrophic" event that happened last month and involved disappearing crystals, heroes of light falling sick and killing each other. Sure sounds like a lovely place to be in! Thankfully it's all over now. Right?


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 months ago. 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 fiercely battled each other past month. 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 minor 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.


Celebrations
— Anytime —

The 'Halloween' decorations are long gone now, but given the impending death threat that floated over the city a couple days ago, the celebrations for the Night of the Thirteen Moogles were all cancelled. Fear not, for people have decided to hold mini-celebrations over the city today to compensate for what's been missed. It's not that much, but there are stands and banquets, especially by the 9nth and 11th District where you can find all sort of food and especially candies: tons of candies that were, unfortunately, not used on the 31st of October. But at least it's a paradise for children who come and go with their hands full of candies.

Oh, and there are a lot of Kupo Nuts as well. Though, most Moogles do not seem to be in particularly high spirits, so they're pretty neglected, for the first and probably last time.


The City of Aqures Ixen
— Anytime —

There are a lot of things left to do in the city, especially for newcomers. A 20:00, a BLitzball game will take place at the stadium located in the tenth district, opposing the Teams of Esdham and Aqures. Earlier at 16:00, a few groups of Triple Triad players are playing: one before Mognet Office in the ninth district next to the celebrations, another near the Blitzball Stadium in the 10th District. And of course, they are more than happy to teach the rule to anyone passing by. Characters are free to enter and play games of Triple Triad, and if they do so they will be given very basic cards and explained the rules. This may be the start of a promising career!

Characters are also free to visit the city-- Mognet Office just behind the Triple Triad games is filled with very busy Moogles, especially now that Mognet just started again after a closed down period. They can also visit Airship Port in the twelfth district from where characters can board for free Airships from Shoopuf Airline. It's in the process of re-opening after having been closed for most of past month, and the next airship departing from Aqures Ixen will do so on the 9th.

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.

This house easily reminded him of some of the other places they'd managed to acquire along the way. It was no cafe but obviously there was room enough for more people living here. So far it hadn't appeared like anyone lived in it, it was devoid of personal items or even a messy bed. Just the way he liked it.

No stranger to share with, to keep an eye on while he slept. If it stayed that way he wouldn't mind at all. That just meant there was room enough for the others if they ever showed up.

He sighed when a presence made itself known just beyond the back door. Not the one he'd been feeling all day as his moogle hovered nearby. This one was new and shy, and shortly joined by a more familiar one.

Kurogane almost chuckled. Of course it would be the mage. "It looks like I'm not the only one. He's got the manjuu with him, he'll catch up eventually."

Whenever Syaoran was done helping out that girl.

Fai moved further onto the porch as Yuki was just going to linger on the edge. He isn't moving, not right now anyway, the guy in his mind was still a little too scary and admired the fact the blonde was much braver than he was.

It didn't take Fai long to realize just what the other had. "Being an alcoholic~! I'm not surprised. Kuro-kun likes his alcohol after all." He said teasingly, as he went to sit down

"I'm sure, but at the same time how would Mokona actually know how to get to where we are?" He asked, knowing that they had never really changed from one world to another without the use of the little critter. Sure, he knew how to himself, but he knew he didn't do anything.

"Question~! Have you learn what your new jobs are yet?"

Right now, Kurogane was more than glad to let the moogle following Fai around be frightened of him. It better than his own that hadn't hesitated to harass him much like Mokona did. He was surprised the thing didn't try to climb into his clothes.

As the other sat down, he offered out the bottle. No extra cups since he wasn't expecting company but he doesn't want it back anyway. Kurogane's already had his fair share of it. "Waking up in a new world calls for alcohol." Waking up in a new world seemingly alone definitely needed it.

"I'm sure that kid at the shop can help." The only time they'd all jumped from one to another was that first time when they were all sent to the witch's shop. Though never without Mokona after.

"Hn. Dark knight and ninja," he responded casually. "You?"

He gladly took the bottle, right now after the long it really called for a nice drink. Putting the bottle to his lips he paused slightly before taking a swig. "Apparently that is always the case for you. Then again there hasn't been a world where we haven't had some type of alcohol." Although he admitted if the alcohol is nice he wouldn't mind drinking it and the alcohol here defiantly had a taste to it, one he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Chocobo Knight and Archer." He said as he had moved the bottle away and put it down. He figured Kurogane wouldn't have a single clue what on earth a Chocobo was. "Though I must admit, Dark Knight really suits you."
