Intro Log || Just in Time for the Last Holiday Season
Characters: All the "Heroes of Light" (only new characters can start threads).
Where: Aqures Ixen.
When: November 01st - November 30th. New characters may wake up any time.
Summary: The new Heroes of Light awaken from Crystal Stasis and might find themselves in quite the predicament. Are they in Aqures Ixen, the Desert, a Forest or a completely empty plain? The choice is yours! You can have your character wake up anywhere, so long as the location is neither crystallized nor sealed away (such as the Temple of the Heroes of Light).
Please refer to the Information Post for more information regarding the state of Crystallis. Fear not however as soon a Moogle and maybe your friends shall come to you. Indeed, Heroes of Light in Aqures Ixen have access to a map that show them whenever a new Hero of Light appears.The Moogles are using it to quickly find any newcomers, but nothing prevents other Heroes of Light from using it to go to the rescue! The exception to this are characters who were formerly in the game: they will wake up from Crystal Stasis in the Hospital of Aqures Ixen.
Furthermore, feel free to plot out with players already in-game if you want for them to come and search your character, find them and plot their escape from a particularly dangerous place and the likes!
Warning: N/A.

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. But soon it faded, and everything else along with it, nothing but darkness remaining....
The Search for the Heroes
— Anytime —
To you, it's like only a second passed ever since you grabbed this crystal. But months or even years may have passed in the real world. And as you emerge, you find yourself in the world of Crystallis, a place where magic and technology coexist, filled with friendly people... And not so friendly ones. Have you awakened in Aqures Ixen, Esdham or a similar city...? Then it's perfect, you are surrounded by friendly people who will be - very confused - but helpful to an extent.
Have you woken up in the wilderness? Hopefully there aren't too many monsters around! As it is, other Heroes of Light might have woken up close to your position, it might be a good idea to work together with them.
Thankfully enough, before long a fluffy ball of fur flies toward (and most crashes into) you! This creature is a Moogle, sent from Mognet Central to assist you and take you to Aqures Ixen. It will explain you everything about the situation, the other Heroes of Light already present in Crystallis and all that is happening! This Moogle will be your guide back to Aqures Ixen-- If you decide to follow them anyway...
The Voyage Home
— Anytime —
The journey to Aqures Ixen might be an eventful one (or uneventful one if you awoke in the city already). It is a possibility for you to explore the world by taking your time, or to be lazy and board an Airship in the closest city. Don't lose your way or you risk venturing close to the Calamity-- You wouldn't want to be devoured and ripped apart my mega-powered Calamity Monsters, would you?
And thanks to the map and the efficiency of Mognet, odds are you'll encounter other Heroes of Light on your way: those who arrived in this world within the past two years. 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 the fearsome Palitutu! 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 —
Finally, you might reach Aqures Ixen... And it turns out to be a very busy city. You might visit it, or the laboratory from where you canspy track where Heroes of Light are. Indeed, Palitutu's Laboratory (and its underground section) is a place where employed characters can research various topics. 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.
Or maybe you could visit your new house in the 11th or 14th District, and get to know your new neighbors and housemate(s). Hopefully your neighbors are people you will get along with.
It's Never Too Early
— Anytime —
No matter where you wake up in this world, from the arid climate of Esdham to the balmy jungles of Mysidia, you might notice a hint of ~**Christmas Whimsy**~ in the air. Pine-scented garlands are wound about streetlamps, delicate glass ornaments and twinkling lights have begun to adorn tree branches. The air is rich with the smell of baked pumpkin and cinnamon, and the occasional cool hint of peppermint. The bakeries are filled with seasonal treats like kupo nut pies, cranberry tarts, eggnog cakes. Though it's only the month of November, anyone complaining about the good cheer and pretty decorations will be stared at with a mixture of shock and pity, for clearly these people do not understand the true magic of the season.
Wherever you go, there's a distinct and rhythmic clanging of a small brass bell. Following the sound of the bell inevitably leads to a small adorable Moogle decked out in a fur-trimmed red suit standing next to a donations pot, with another clad in green passing out fliers inviting people to visit the Santa Village. They're requesting gil to craft toys for the refugees living there as well as the children across the world, and to expand and improve the Village as well.
Upon seeing any indication that you might be a Hero of Light, both Moogles make a happy sound and immediately press a flyer into your hand, insisting that you must visit, and not so subtly hinting that those who take up the Santa Claus job would be warmly welcomed by everyone. 'Tis the season, eh? Eh?
The Hospital
— Anytime —
Characters who have already been in Crystallis before do not wake up anywhere like everyone else. Instead, they will wake up in the Hospital of Aqures Ixen, in a room where there are over a hundred 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 orders 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.

no subject
Yeah. ...If I remember right, Black Mage combined with White Mage also grants an Advanced Job called Sage... Summoner and Illusionist grant Psychic.
[...He may or may not have been at the labs going through the list of available Jobs in hopes to find something more unique when he first got here.]
There's also Time Mage, but I haven't picked that one up either. It's default outfit is an Organization coat.
no subject
The Organization coat? How is that possible? Was someone from the Organization here before?
[Is someone from the Organization here now?]
no subject
[He cuts himself off, unable to say it. Hearing the tone, Lin briefly pokes her head in to make sure everything is alright before calling out from the kitchen.]
We had visitors from another group of Heroes once, kupo! They were vastly different from those summoned normally, though...
[Ira turned away as Lin continued to explain.]
They had no immortality like you both did originally, and their crystals were clear. Another Sora and Ira's sister were part of that group, ku-
Xion. Her name was Xion.
[Was. Past tense. As emphasized by him almost leaving a nice little hole in the wall with his fist.]
That group... They all either crystallized and vanished, their crystals shattered and died, or they were as helpless as the rest of us, watching them without a single way to help after they'd watched over us.
I-Ira...?
no subject
Xion-- now that he's mentioned her name, all of Naminé's memories come flooding back to her. Xion's slow budding discovery of herself. Her bravery in the face of non-existence. Her quiet, earnest entreaty to take care of Roxas once she was gone.
Denied a life back on their world, and then denied one here too. It's just not fair.]
Ira...
[She reaches out to hesitantly touch his arm, not sure how to comfort him. Not sure how to deal with her own bewildered grief.]
no subject
But the decisions he made, and what she'd become to him in the fourteen months they spent together yet apart. Those were real enough.]
We were finally free... reunited, too, and-
[He stops himself.]
Sorry.
[He looks over his shoulder with a faint, apologetic smile as he lowers his fist from the wall and to his side.]
You knew her, didn't you? Or, I should say the 'her' in your own time.
[Because time was a fickle thing, even before bringing up the butterfly effect.]
no subject
[She doesn't wish for him to stop on her account, especially when it seems like it still pains him...she wants to be able to help him if she can. But she's still getting used to being around him, feeling a way through what she should and shouldn't say. She won't push him now. Naminé keeps her hand against his arm for a moment longer before pulling away.]
Yes. We only met the once, but she...she was such a good person. With a good heart. She was smiling even as she left. Wherever she is now...whether its your Xion or mine, I'm sure she's still smiling for us.
no subject
Nah... More worried than anything.
The Xion I know... she had a family waiting for her in another world. [He sighs, rubbing the back of his neck.] I just wish I knew what happened to her and the others.
no subject
I hope we'll be able to find out, one day. If both of our Xions make it.
[It's hard to wrap her head around the idea that there are two different Xions. Two different versions of all her friends-- and perhaps not even two. Maybe there are three, or ten, or an infinite amount of versions. Whose Naminé does that make her? Certainly Sora and Ira have welcomed her with open arms, and she would certainly call them hers Sora and Ira by virtue of them being here with her, sharing her new life with her. But she imagines that there must be a Destiny Island somewhere, where Kairi still lacks her other half, where Sora doesn't remember her. Would she make it back there?
Would she want to?]
Who else has been here?
no subject
[And perhaps, one day, that he'd be able to punch Kalki in the face for this. But first comes the other's question (and dinner, whenever those moogles finished).
If only Naminé knew that he didn't care whether she were his Naminé or not, because either way... she was still his friend.]
Ventus was the only other one I met personally. We were roommates for a time, before he crystallized and never awoke. Though, he wasn't the first here.
[He pauses, trying to read her expression before he continued.]
... Another Sora, Kairi, and a woman named Aqua can be found in the Crystallized Heroes wing. Also someone named Stitch, though I never met them myself.
A word of warning, though: If you want to see them, make sure Elmina goes with you. The guards stationed there have been on edge ever since last year's Night of the Thirteen Moogles.
no subject
Bad enough that another Sora and Kairi and even Stitch were there, but Aqua and Ven...after everything they went through so long ago...]
Okay.
I...I don't know if I'm strong enough to. But I want to, even so.
no subject
[He could see that expression on her face, and a fair bit more than a little concern was plainly written on his face.]
They aren't going anywhere any time soon, and you just got here. [He pauses.] Though if it helps, we can go together when you're ready.
