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.

Just about to move away from the rest of the crowd, Lightning stops when someone was so obviously coming towards her. And then the girl trips. On nothing. Next she laughs about it so she's clearly fine but Light almost wishes she could use magic again to heal the girl.

Instead she crouches down next to Kobato. "I should be asking if you need help."

She sticks out her hand, offering to help the girl back on to her feet. If this girl was supposed to be a Hero of Light then she needed a lot of training. Especially if they were expected to fight. Otherwise she should just stay back and let people like her deal with it.

She looked at the hand for a moment. She honestly wasn't all that use to people being so friendly or so helpful. So it made her happy as she took it to herself up before moving her hand back to wipe herself down. She was perfectly okay and she knew that would always be the case since tripping was a common thing for the young girl.

"I'm fine. I trip over a lot more than I should be. But thank you for asking Miss. You're a very nice lady."

Now that she gave a small bow as her way of saying thank you she stands up straight. Okay back to what she was suppose to be doing. "Do you need help? I know I'm a little clumsy, but I do know a little bit about this place. Though there are people who know more than me as they have been here a month longer."

Once the hand was in hers, Lightning helped the girl up until she was back on her feet and dropped it again. Other than the slight bit of dirt, she looked fine so Light let it go.

A natural klutz.

Kobato's bow is returned with a head nod because bowing...yeah, no. Not happening. "So people like us have only been showing up for two months?" Good thing the girl offered to help because Light sure does jump in there fast.

Kobato gave a small nod, her hands keeping clasped in front of her robes for the moment. "That's right, and we're all suppose to be the heroes of light and are here to... um what was it the moogle said to me when I first arrived. I forgot, but I assume they need help with something. What other reason would they bring us?"

She couldn't think of another reason and she kind of accepted it, even though the help they need was not exactly something she was use to nor could she do well.

Having just heard the story from her new companion, Light let the talk of why they were here go to focus on other things. "Why don't you tell me about the city? What is it like? How are the people here?"

It seemed a safe but informative topic. Clearly the girl had trouble retaining information but if she saw something with her eyes, she might be able to describe it better than if she'd been told.

"Well the city has many things like things called airships that can take you somewhere. There is also this game that looks fun in the water and the people here are quite nice. I mean I have yet to come across anyone who was mean."

She spoke pretty highly of the place but then again she really hadn't seen anything she didn't like except during what happened recently. She wondered if she was suppose to be mention that, but she avoided it for now.
