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.

MarKus gives a whistle of approval at the girl's agility. People here were capable of that too. Next she'd have to walk through a wall to impress him.

"Well... shit... guess we need to find what the 'great evil' is then huh? But since that'll take forever... Clean up work. The little evils... the bandits and jerks and evil politicians and slews of monsters that are between us, and another grand final battle." Sounds like he's done this before.

"So what's your name, kid?"

"Hey! I'm not a kid! I'm the great ninja Yuffie." She gave him a wink and then an epic pose, with one hand pointed at him.

"Evil is relative, so I wonder, just who are you going to fight?" She slowly walked around him in a short circle. "Though, I'm sure there are monsters somewhere around here."

Ugh, that speech again. "I know I know... I PLAN on fighting the right one though. You know, the thing that oppresses people and attacks innocents without reason of valid, fair, justification that isn't some sort of misunderstanding. I've done this before you know!" he argues.

Yuffie giggled. "Oh, don't worry. I honestly don't care. As long as you don't attack me." She has decided that she liked him. Yuffie slapped him on the back with a wide grin spread across her lips.

"What chur name hero?"

"MarKus. MarKus Haley; Ace Mechanic of the White Chalice." he says, full title and everything, not that it meant much here. He took that smack on the back and staggered.

"Why would I attack you? Are you some stubborn brat that needs to be hit in the head to get the concept of friendship through your skull?" he questions, grinning at his memories.

"Not exactly." But she was a thief and she honestly couldn't help it. Yuffie would see something she wanted and take it.

She stopped her pacing and stood, her eyes still watching him. She was about to say something when a surly voice echoed towards them. "I found you..."

Yuffie cringed as she turned to see her moogle flying towards her. "Oh no, it's Mooshoo. I gotta run!"
2hell_weride: (WTF)

"It's who?" MarKus was already getting ready to stand up for her, thinking it was some big oaf or some shopkeep coming after her but... you can't really block the path of a Moogle, which can fly.

"The heck did you do?" he mutters, probably too low and too far away for him to be heard proper at this point.
thegreatninja: (headin forward)

"It's my moogle. He's suppose to watch me. I've gotta run." Yuffie turned and started running down a side street hoping that her miffed moogle couldn't follow her.
