Intro Log || The Deep Breath Before The Plunge
Characters: All the "Heroes of Light" (only new characters can start threads).
Where: Aqures Ixen.
When: The 5th of July. 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: N/A.
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 last year.
Very Close Encounters of the Thirteenth Kind
— 14:00 —
Characters venturing by the Ninth District at this time will be able to see a most peculiar and unexpected sight. They will see a strange blue creature running after a Moogle, with the later looking particularly distressed. Before anyone could have a chance to react, the two of them entered a building... And a few minutes later, the blue creature could be seen emerging from the building, running away with a Kupo Nut in hand. In a surprising reversal, this time the Moogle is the one pursuing the blue creature. Needless to say, the Moogle looks furious at this turn of event.
Trying to pursue the blue creature will result in failure and it will disappear. What could it mean...?

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 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. Well, that is if you don't die or crystallize first.
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 the Festival of Light nearing, there are a lot of folks working hard to set up the upcoming event! And besides this, there are a lot of things to do in the city for newcomers. Moogles are working hard in Mognet Office of the ninth district! Characters are also free to visit the city-- They can visit Airship Port in the twelfth district from where characters can board for free Airships from Shoopuf Airline. There is however the impression that everyone is on edge, and a lot more officers from the law enforcement in the streets. Why could it be...?
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. It seems all the computer shut down recently, but the people working in the lab are restarting everything. The screens seem to indicate the "summoning process" is over and that the Crystal of Fire's energy level are dangerously. 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.
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:

We did it. We broke the game.
The real problem is who on the street knows.]
Who is it? How'd you know my name? [What if its an Avatar? Are they going to kill him?
The delivery boy watches his client, confused, and bends over to pick up the clipboard while keeping a steady eye on the crazy old man.]
well she's gonna break him at least
[This is Aqures Ixen, but maybe...just maybe...]
Is Harriet around here, too? So this is where you work...it's kinda shabbier than I thought it'd be.
[She's still a little rude, but she means well!]
his poor, old brain
[How long has Hibiki been here? She could be a Hero considering a new batch arrived very recently, but there are a lot of folders she'd have to go through to even recognize him by sight.
His eyes grow wide in fear when she mentions Harriet. How can someone talk to a total stranger so casually? Is Hibiki a chronic stalker?]
What...hold on, why're you askin' me all this? This is n invasion of privacy! [The irony is lost on him.]
wait, where was his scar
[What's going on here? Hibiki's smile fades more and more until she starts to look really, really tired.]
I'm askin' because you told me about her? Remember?
It crosses his left eyebrow.
[Is it amnesia? Please let it not be amnesia.]
And I know who I told her about! [...] Oh my god, don't tell me you know about Narasimha...
[He covers his face with his palm and presses his forehead. This month has been only getting worse.]
thank you thank you
[Wait a second. She's coming closer (she's fast). Something's not right.]
Hey, where'd your scar go? You got rid of it already?!
no subject
What scar? I got cuts from fightin', but no scars. Didn't need to heal any! [He would certainly notice a new one on him.]
no subject
[She hadn't seen his murder. Still kind of intense that so many murders happened on that one day, she hasn't forgotten. She still doesn't go into art supply stores.
...well, it's only been one day in this town, so that's probably why, too.]
You're not the Mordecai I know, are ya? You're, um, from a different universe, ain't ya?
no subject
...You sayin' I know you at some other point? [He's well aware of the alternate universes this planet pulls from. The Sparks Nevada here comes from a time before his, or he's from a timeline where he never met Ginny and the robot Gork didn't adopt a human baby. Neither of them understand what that last part was all about.]
Don't think a girl like you would show up on Mars of her own will. How'd we know each other?
[He's less creeped out, but all those personal details she's giving him are really, really weird.]
no subject
...
We went to school together.
no subject
No, we didn't.
[Unless she's farther back in the timeline and they went to the same kindergarten on Earth, though why someone would fondly remember a random kid, Mordecai doesn't know. And she recognized him as his older self.]
no subject
[She's said too much. She puts her hand to her ear.]
Will ya listen to that? I think my mom's callin' me! I really gotta get goin', yep!
no subject
[Like hell he'll let a mysterious person walk in, tell him that she knows everything about him, and leave without an explanation.]
no subject
[Today's mission: Avoid ever talking about murder school again. Why did that place have a bar, exactly?]
On second thought, you look like the wrong person! Hehe, my bad! I had ya confused with someone else?
no subject
[Ah, yes. Bluntly pointing out how weird other peoples' names are. Mordy's favorite pastime.]
You sure? What's this person you're lookin' for? [And why do their personal details matc his?]
