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.

He replied to her without batting an eye. Honestly, what was she expecting? He didn't look like any typical noble and he certainly didn't act like one. He was the type to do things the way he wanted knowing the consequences. It might not be the best way to get to know Yuri but he wanted to remind her that he was not like the others. He didn't care how he was perceived to much but laying down the foundation was important.
The dust and stuff was omitted by Yuri as he carried her over the bed and slowly dropped her on it without hurting her. Of course, he stretched his arms a little bit since he had carried her all the way from the battle field to the inn. He needed some sort of stretching.
"The floor, the couch, or the chair. There's a spot by the window too."
He pointed casually, "Don't worry I'm not the type to pounce sleeping princesses."
He gave her a brief smile.
"Now you should rest and wash up."
no subject
"Oh, I see... I'm a little envious. It must be nice, to live so freely." It was a statement of respect, humbly admitted.
Slowly she eased her arms from around his neck as he placed her down at long last, though she didn't lie back just yet.
His statement about pouncing gave her a wide-eyed start, just as crimson touched her face. "No, that wasn't what I was suggesting!" They might have bickered, but it was hard to imagine an ally on the battlefield ever behaving in such a disgraceful manner. Natalia was hardly afraid of him. "I merely wanted to ensure that you were comfortable. I won't have you sleeping on the floor as if you were some sort of dog." The very idea!
She looked at the couch, knuckling her chin in thought. "Are you certain the couch is acceptable? If you wished, you could simply wake me in a few hours and take the bed for yourself."
no subject
She could protest all she wanted but it wasn't going to do her any good trying to resist what he's trying to do in the first place. Yuri just didn't care about what people had to say to him. Image wasn't everything. While he did have his pride, he didn't let it control him as a person.
"You should try it sometime. We're in a world completely different from our own. Doesn't matter what kind of person you were in your world. What matters is what you want to do here. There's no one to tell you what to do. You've already more or less made that statement haven't you? Why let it others judgement cloud your resolve?"
He mused looking back at her as he plopped himself in the couch comfortably, letting his hands fall behind his neck and his shoe less feet on the couch.
Yuri laughed at her response. Well, maybe he went too far since it was joke, "Don't worry I'm used to sleeping on the ground and in stacks of hay. this probably the best I've got right now."
Again he dismissed the argument.
"No one said anything about being a dog. I used to sleep with Repede all the time like this on the floor. He's a dog too you know? You shouldn't insult him. He's got his pride."
Yes, he was teasing her even more for that. Yuri confirmed it once more so she would stop, "Yeah, don't sweat it. Just rest."
no subject
But that was neither here nor there. He clearly meant well with his advice, and she could see now that he truly was a kind person with goals very similar to her own. It was nice to share that much in common, if nothing else.
Her attention returned to Yuri at the mention of a dog. "You have a pet?" Goodness, she wasn't exactly clear on the sort of protocol to follow when speaking about a respected comrade's animal companion. "I apologize, I meant no offense."
Teasing schmeasing, she took the joke perhaps a little too seriously. As for resting, she thought about it for a moment, then inclined her head. "You're right. The sooner I recover my magic, the sooner I'm able to resume my responsibilities. Good night, Yuri." Even if it was just for a few hours, it was only polite to bid him well.
"...And thank you again. The people of this town are fortunate to have your aid."
no subject
"I wouldn't call him a pet, more like friend. I left him with my roommate. He tends to take care of him when I can't."
Yuri replied as she asked about Repede. He assumed the dog would find interest in such a spunky princess, much like Rita. However, that was another story for another day, "You're fine. I was joking anyway."
He shrugged again. Yes, she was very much playing around and trying to lighten the mood for the both of them. There was no need to be serious about everything right. He laughed, "I'm glad you understand. Like I said, I didn't do anything amazing. It's what benefits those in need. Good night, Princess."
He retorted. Yuri reached over to turn off the light for the both of them once Natalia got settled. She could bathe later if she chose to or whatever she wanted but right now it was shut eye and Yuri wasn't taking no for an answer.
no subject
"Good night," she bid to the warrior, seeking out the dim outline of his form upon the couch before she let her lashes close. "I am very glad you chose to come here and fight."
It didn't take long for her to fall asleep after that. In just a few short minutes her breathing had become deep and even where she lay curled up on her side, one hand buried under the pillow to find that one cool spot while she clutched the covers securely beneath her chin.
