Intro Log || The Night of the Thirteen Moogles

Characters: All the "Heroes of Light" (only new characters can start threads).
Where: Aqures Ixen.
When: The 5th of October. 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. New Heroes of Light will not have their Crystal.
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," the call of the Moogle finally waking 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 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-- Wait, you don't have a Crystal...? That's weird.

Your Moogle will be puzzled by this fact, as all Heroes of Light are supposed to have a crystal with them. Well, maybe you are not a Hero of Light after all?


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 one or two 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 worthy of being revered as heroes. 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.


The Night of the Thirteen Moogles
— Anytime —

Something that may be obvious, is that the city has a spooky feel to it. There are various decorations, it clearly looks like a work in progress but it seems the idea is to make the city looks as scary as possible. Characters familiar with Halloween may recognize the decoration as being strikingly similar. The Moogles will be more than pleased to explain these are all preparations for the upcoming Night of the Thirteen Moogles on the 31st, and they will explain the legends to characters if they ask.

Hopefully all this talk of curse and King Moggle Mog is nothing more than legend.


The City of Aqures Ixen
— Anytime —

There are a lot of things left to do in the city, especially with everyone excited for the upcoming celebration. Starting from 18:00, a series of BLitzball games will take place at the stadium located in the tenth district, opposing amateur teams in a friendly competition. At the same time, a small group of Triple Triad players are playing before Mognet Office in the ninth district, and 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-- Be it Mognet Office just behind the Triple Triad games is filled with very busy Moogles, or the Airship Port in the twelfth district from where characters can board for free Airships from Shoopuf Airline, knowing the next airship departing from Aqures Ixen will do so on the 9th. Still, characters can board an exposition Airship should they like and visit it.

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.

It took her another moment for the tunnel vision to pass, but slowly Kid fixed herself upright again, with a half-hearted, "Yeah. I'm fine, thanks." She scanned the crowd again, not really knowing which way to take, and tossed another comment Zelda's way instead. "You wouldn't know the fastest way to get a ticket outta here would ya?"
goddessofthesky: (oh no)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-10-15 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm afraid for now we are stuck here. I take it you just arrived. Um..." She hoped to explain it well but it was a rather unbelievable tale. "Have you spoken with your moogle? For now we don't know they way back to our homes."

Zelda figured to start with what she knew.

"I tried to explain, but she wouldn't -- " Mopassa was cut off abruptly as Kid raised her hand to the height at which he hovered, and waved it off, interrupting with a lazy "Yeah, yeah, he said some stuff..." And none of it was good news. She almost hoped the furball had been mistaken, but that was seeming less likely.

"Well thanks anyway, I guess," she started to walk away, when she remembered something else. "Say, one more thing... you wouldn't happen to know where we're supposed to pick up these crystals from, eh?"

"I'm afraid not. I woke up with mine but if you need anything feel free to ask." She wanted to help but she wasn't going to force her help one someone who didn't want it. Zelda gave the girl an encouraging smile.

"Woke up with it?" the blonde shot a look at her moogle, raising a fist. "If I found out you lost it, I --"

"Kupopo..." Mopassa groaned, "if you'd only listen..." he covered his head with his paws, even though they both knew that Kid wouldn't really bop him one...

"Aw well," she sighed, crossing her arms over her chest. "I guess if most everyone's got 'em anyway, they're probably not worth much. Hey," she shifted her weight again, once more turned Zelda's way, "you been here long, or what?"
goddessofthesky: (working hard)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-10-15 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
"About two months now. We have been trying to find a way back to our respective worlds since then but it looks like we have to complete this legend."

Zelda gave her a warm smile. "You should probably listen to your moogle. They don't know much but they are willing to lend us a hand."
kissthemoons: (im not pouting shut up.)

With what was certainly not a pout, Kid just muttered something about how she'd consider it (if he had something useful to say -- ) and instead focused on the news the other girl brought.

"Two months, yeesh... That lazy Serge is gonna be lost without me if it takes longer'n that..." she tapped her foot, thinking about all the things that had happened back home. And why had Serge, at that last moment taken her dagger...

"How 'bout the housing? As far as I get, we've all got our own digs, right?"
goddessofthesky: (falling)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-10-15 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
"We share. Housing is free but because the city has limited space most heroes have roommates." Her tone was gentle and sympathetic. She has seen some of the strange happenings in the houses around her and how some didn't get along.
kissthemoons: (D|)

[personal profile] kissthemoons 2014-10-17 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Share?! Ugh," she wasn't too happy about the thought of that. What if she got stuck with someone as lazy as Serge? Or as annoying as Harle?! The thought of being roomates with Harle sent an uncomfortable shiver down her spine as she tried to banish the thought from her mind. "Today's just not my day..." she muttered, frowning in her moogle's direction.

Zelda watched as the girl mutter angrily. She didn't want to impose her help and she knew that this wasn't a usual situation. From her time here, she found it was best for people to think things over on their own.

A gentle smile was still spread across her lips as she waited for anymore questions from the new hero.
kissthemoons: (o:)

[personal profile] kissthemoons 2014-10-18 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, thanks anyway, uh..." she trailed off, trying to think. She crossed her arms over her chest again. "What'd you say your name was again?"

Her head tilted to the side as she smiled. "My name is Zelda. What's yours?" It was nice to meet someone who was so straight forward when they spoke.
kissthemoons: (>T)

[personal profile] kissthemoons 2014-10-25 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Call me... Kid," there didn't seem much harm in being honest about it. "Anyway," she frowned, "thanks for the info. Guess... I'll see ya around."

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2014-10-26 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes." She smiled brightly before turning and going on her way.
