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.

Yeul stood nearby a listened once again to the fantastic tale that the moogles were telling them. Her eyes went to look at Hibi, who was flying nearby and waiting for her hero to decide. She too felt the loss of her powers but it came at the cost of her life. She was a live which meant that only a powerful force could have brought them here.

Her steps were soft as she approached the boy. "I don't know if there is a way home." She usually spoke in such absolutes that not knowing was strange. Things were at times unclear but she was never blind to them.

The young boy turned towards the girl, Yuki following his eyes. They both blinked simultaneously, wow she was pretty. He blushes, realizing he was still on the floor and arguing with an animal. Quickly he gets up and brushes himself off, the scholarly hat askew on his head and glasses crooked on his nose, but rather useless to the prior telekinetic.

"Ah, I see.." her words finally hit him and he releases a soft sigh. "Well, maybe someone around has heard a rumor or something? I've figured out some of the most outrageous stories can have some fact to them." Like Balloon dogs, who in the world would imagine that such a monster existed? But he ran into fair share of them when he was younger.

"Um...Can I ask your name?"
enduringflower: (what?)

Yeul watched the boy in silence as he stood. "I am Yeul." Her voice was soft but contained her sadness. She wasn't comfortable being here, without her powers, but she tried to hold her own emotions in check. "I have only heard the story from Hibi but I suppose there might be more."

She didn't like feeling so unsure. Her expression faltered a moment as she tried to think.
i_didnt_know: (Oh yeah?)

Satoru was doing everything in his power not to think about it. The last time he lost his powers he nearly cried. He adored being what he was, and his power offered him to see so many beautiful things and do so much more. But he focused on the fact that at least he wasn't defenseless and he tried to look at the bright side of things.

Bright side being he had whole new powers he knew nothing about and it should be fun to learn what his new capabilities where.

"Yuki doesn't know anything either, I don't think any of the moogles around here do or at least they're not telling us." He looks over to Yuki who blinks at him. Seems he was hurt by that comment, perhaps he thought he didn't trust him? Satoru smiles at the white puffball to ease his worry, despite it being the truth.

"Anyway, it's nice to meet you Yeul." He then looks over to her moogle. "And you too Hibi."

Her moogle gave him a silent nod in recognition. Hibiscus was quieter than most moogles. She spent a great deal of time thinking and watching others.

"It's nice to meet you." Yeul wasn't sure what else to say. This whole day had been a shock and while she tried to stay calm, she still felt like she wanted to cry. Everything she ever knew or understood was gone, making her almost wish for her death. So at least she knew the timeline was safe.
