Event || Another Side, Another Story (Conclusion)
Characters: Anyone (only characters who came in as part of the event can start new threads).
Where: Anywhere
When: 29th of February.
Summary: As the final day of the event closes in, the characters who came in are on the verge of meeting with a terrible fate: some are going to die whilst some are going to crystallize and disappear. The tragedy may happen to them anytime from 08:00 AM to 08:00 PM on this day, so they can see some of their friends die or crystallize before it happens to them—Or not. If you plan on app’ing your character next week, then nothing will happen to them so long as their application is accepted. In doubt, you are free to wait until the application round starts and your app gets processed before posting here.
Warning: Tragedies of the Greek and Shakespearean flavors.
MELODIES OF DEATH
— Warning: If you pick this option, you will lock yourself out from ever app’ing this particular version of your character again —
Maybe you were minding your own business, planning for the future as you finally reached civilization and met a lot of wonderful people. Maybe even you were thinking about ways for you to save your homeworld, ways to fight Palitutu, Garland and the Calamity. But unfortunately you will not be able to do any of these things, for a terrible fate awaits these Heroes of Light who were awakened by Kalki all these months ago.
At any time during the day, it could strike any of newly arrived Heroes of Light. At first it will start with a terrible, agonizing pain that will surge throughout their bodies—Nearly unbearable, as if they were dying. After mere seconds the pain will subside, but then they will feel life itself leaving their bodies. There would be a little bit of time for the Heroes of Light to speak final words to their friends, but only seconds to a minute at best before death catches up with them
And upon dying, the crystals of dead Heroes of Light will shatter and their bodies will remain, not crystallizing. All the Heroes of Light in Crystallis will feel a sharp pain as this happens—But the pain will grow lesser and lesser with each subsequent death, until it’ll become nothing more than a tingle.
MELODIES OF ETERNITY
— This option will have the characters crystallize and disappear, meaning they can still be app’d at some point in the future —
And because many of the newly arrived Heroes of Light, maybe you assumed you would as well—But maybe you wouldn’t. Not all of the Heroes of Light who reached Mysidia this past week were meet with such a terrible fate. Some will fall in Crystal Stasis instead. It was a state that had immobilized and taken away countless Heroes of Light before, but maybe this was better than death?
Like those who died, they will feel a terrible pain surging throughout their bodies. But rather than fading, the pain will remain as their bodies slowly crystallize. They will have the time for a farewell to their friends, but their time is limited to nothing more than mere seconds.
And only instants after their bodies fully crystallized, they will vanish, nowhere to be found.
MELODIES OF LIFE
— This option is for character being app’d and then accepted into the game —
Or maybe nothing will happen to you. But unfortunately, you can see everyone around you dying of crystallizing, and assume the same fate awaits you.
But why? Why it this happening to everyone on the same day, just after the two groups of Heroes of Light finally reunited? Surely this cannot be a coincidence…

Melodies of Life | Alisaie Leveilleur
Yet the city was vast, and she had no moogle to send letters with. Exhausted, she nigh collapsed on the same park bench she'd sat upon when she saw Ysayle rush out of a cafe in a panic. Maybe it was luck that the books she'd left behind were still there, but it was hard to focus on that with the things she'd just witnessed.
It was only a matter of time, she thought. If she were to die or turn to crystal like the others, she'd at least like to see something beautiful. Yet as night fell, nothing happened as she sat there in the park. The physical pain had been slowly numbing as others she'd known the last several months vanished or fell dead where they stood. Yet as it slowly dawned upon her that she wasn't going to die or crystallize like the rest...
Alisaie wailed, unable to contain her grief. It wasn't fair. They'd just reunited with the others, begun making arrangements to fight the Calamity with them together! Yet here they were, fragmented once again. This time without the convenient excuse of an attack of an outside source.
no subject
"Alisaie!"
She called out letting her feet rush over to the girl, Twelve be damned the pain she was feeling at the moment from both the exercise and the fate of their friends.
"Thank the Twelve you're here!" but when she reached her, she fell to her knees. Yeah she ran for a good while.
no subject
Alisaie couldn't continue that train of thought, shoulders sagging as they shook from a few sobs she'd tried to keep held back. Yet she fought through them, if only to inform the Antecedent of the one bit of news she had. "Ysayle... foresaw this, before she turned to crystal."
There was plenty of space on the bench for her to sit if given the energy to pull herself up; Alisaie was not going to be of much assistance as she currently was.
no subject
No...it couldn't be possible. But if Alisaie had witnessed it then everyone who traveled their path could meet the same fate. This pain Minfilia knew too well: losing a friend and no matter how many times it happened, it still hurt. She didn't scream or kick up a fuss since she was a child and she wasn't going to start now; what would Ysayle think if she did that in her name?
One shaky hand reached for the bench as the knight pulled herself up and scrambled to sit beside her comrade, putting an arm around her in a half tight hug. The fancy speeches could wait when the wounds were not so fresh but even then, Minfilia didn't know what to say. Sometimes words weren't enough.
no subject
She hesitated for a moment when she felt the older woman's arm wrap around her smaller frame, but eventually conceded and leaned on her. Alisaie's shoulders still shook, but at least it was silent now.
no subject
"You're still here…" she breathed, and moved forward, trying to find a space for herself where she could wrap her arms around both of them.
no subject
This has become a hug pile. And it was alright for now.
no subject
"Yes, though many others from our realm were... not as fortunate." Like so many others, she thought. For a moment she wasn't sure what to do with now to pairs of arms wrapped around her. She didn't have it in her to shed more tears, as much as she wanted to. Instead, she tried to wrigle free just enough so that her arms were able to wrap around the two of them as well.
"I'd... wanted to thank Ysayle," she admitted. "For saving Alphinaud, but the words had died on my lips the moment she began praying to her dream."
no subject
She frowned, ears flicking back for a moment- it wasn't as though she was convinced Alphinaud was sensible all the time, but that still sounded strange to her ears. And then- "Her dream…?"
