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.

"I'm not sure how, I mean people trying will always be a good thing and I'm thinking of at least trying to cheer up my little friend." She said looking over to Daphne who had wondered a short distance away, not too far so Bloom wouldn't worry but not to close as to get in the way.

"Trying to find out a way is one of the best things to do, after all that's how you learn about each other. Though communication and spending time together and in this case you'll learn quite a bit about them."

Kazahaya sighed. He wasn't used to having to communicate to figure out what was going on. Quite the opposite- usually, he ended up finding out more than he wanted to know, completely by accident. This no-powers thing was tricky.

"Sweet bread," he proclaimed suddenly. No, he hadn't seen a sweet bread stand. He had formed a plan. "Everyone loves sweet bread. If we make sweet bread for the moogles, they'll be sure to cheer up."

Bloom couldn't help but be a little puzzled by the others sudden outburst, but she was pretty sure there was a reason for it, which was about to find out not long after.

"It... could work. I mean honestly, I've not had sweet bread myself..." She paused on that factor for a moment. Something to cheer them up. Maybe they could get creative. "Or we could make something with some nuts moogles love for some reason."

"Sweet bread filled with nut paste, then," he proclaimed, waving a hand as if it was not an issue.

He paused for a moment, realizing his plans did not account for his lack of cooking skills. His hand froze, midair. "There's not, umm, a convenience store or something that sells that kind of stuff, is there?" he asked. A quick glance down the streets did not reveal anything like the shops he was used to.

"Or Kupo nut paste...it seems that's what they are called... I think" she said puzzling over it slightly. She had thought to bring up the specific type so they knew what they were working with.

"But first we'd need to know what ingredients we need and if such things are actually around." she sad just before his question. She kne wof stores but not something like that. "Not something like that no, but there are markets stalls and such and maybe a store or two that sells thing we might need."

[personal profile] childofthepast 2014-11-18 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Kazahaya deflated at that. "I don't know how to cook. I can barely fry an egg," he confessed. "Maybe if we can find Kupo jelly, we could make Kupo-nut toast." That was about the extent of his skill level...provided this world even had toasters.

His idea sounded stupid, even to his ears. "Or, or we could send them all 'Cheer up!' cards in the mail, or take them on a nature walk. There's lots of things. I just...think it would be nice to let them know we appreciate them, no matter what happened to made them sad."

"Then be glad that I am here." She said with a grin. She knew how to bake and cook without magic since she did that for so many years before she found her secret, she figured that might come in handy at least and it seems she was right.

"Can't say there is such a thing, but I guess if you wanted to we could look." She still didn't think they'd find anything like that though. "But any idea is a good one never the less. But we won't know what will actually work until we try them."

Talking was one thing but doing was another.

[personal profile] childofthepast 2014-11-19 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Kazahaya nodded. If she could cook, that changed things. "Ok, then, let's see what we can find. The nut stand is that way, right?" he asked, pointing in the direction the moogles had flown off in. It was worth looking into, at least.

She nodded as she started to walk on a little ahead. "It's this way, follow me." She said with a chipper voice, kind of happy about what they were trying to do as her moogle kept behind her at all times.
