Intro Log || The City That Never Sleeps

Characters: All the "Heroes of Light" (only new characters can start threads).
Where: Trano Golsaucia, Aqures Ixen, Airships.
When: The 5th of May. The new Heroes of Light will awaken early in the morning.
Summary: The new Heroes of Light awaken in the Temple of Wind next to Trano Golsaucia, and they 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.
Warning: N/A


Where you were or what you were doing— It does not really matter. Not any more. Within a split second, 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 know 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 before long it feels as though life itself is slipping out of you...

And at this very 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 a gentle breeze. Had it all been nothing more than a dream? The soothing voice repeats its call once more, but is soon replaced by a much less graceful "Wake up, Kupo!" Hand clutched on your Crystal, the call of the Moogle may finally bring you back to your senses. But you are no longer in your world, nor in the void. You are before the Crystal of Wind, in the Temple located right outside of a city called Trano Golsaucia. At this point, you may realize the breeze originates from the massive green Crystal floating nearby. 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. They look pretty tired, but they will be more than happy to tell you everything you want to know. They shall tell you about your 'destiny' as a Hero of Light and about what awaits you. Or at least, they will tell you everything they do know, which isn't much in the end.

There are quite a few people around you as well. For the most part, they are people like you-- All clothed in their Job garbs and most likely wondering what is happening. There are also some other Humans, Tarutaru and Hypello in the room, but unlike you they don't have a Crystal, nor do they have a Moogle following them. If addressed, they will say they are the Guardians of the Crystal of Wind and will confirm everything the Moogle said. They will reveal they found you unconscious around the Crystal a couples hours ago, and immediately contacted the Moogles and the government of Aqures Ixen.

If asked about it, both the Moogles and Guardians will explain that Heroes of Light have already appeared in this world within the past year, and they all are in a city called Aqures Ixen. It's the first time Heroes have appeared in this temple. In fact, you probably should go to Aqures Ixen as well. The Moogle will tell you this is where your house is and where the other Heroes will be able to help you. Thankfully, should you decide to take your sweet time to get there, the other Heroes may just come to you.


The Other Heroes
— Anytime —

And indeed, thanks to the efficiency of Mognet and Shoopuf Airline it does not take long for the other Heroes to come around. You may meet them in Trano Golsaucia or in Aqures Ixen, or maybe even in one of the Airships going back and forth between the two cities. They are those who arrived in this world months ago and they have gone through quite a lot. You may have imagined heroic and charismatic figures when your Moogle told you there were other Heroes of Light in this world. You may have imagined persons with fearsome powers when they told you how they recklessly attacked the Heran Empire to free their friends a few months ago. And most importantly, you may have imagined them as people who would have the answers to your, doubtlessly, numerous questions.

If so, you may be up for a complete and utter 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.


Trano Golsaucia
— Anytime —

Should you leave the Temple of Wind and head south, you will reach Trano Golsaucia. It's a gigantic city covered with snow-- To make it simple, this city is a gigantic amusement park. It is the most popular place in this world and of course, there are plenty of people all around. Thankfully, other Heroes of Light are easy to spot: they are the only ones who are followed by a Moogle and holding a Crystal.

And there is quite a lot to be done in this city. Maybe you could stop by the Triple Triad Center to begin a successful career in card games, or maybe you could buy a ticket at the Blitzball Stadium to support your favorite team. If you're the kind of person who relies on luck, you may have more fun gambling in the Casino or betting on your favorite Chocobo in the Chocobo Races. If you're more of a person who enjoys simpler games, maybe you could try one of the numerous carnival-style mini-games found in the city, such as the shooting stand or the treasure chest game.

If you'd like more details regarding all the attractions and games available in Trano Golsaucia, you can find everything here! Of course, all of this requires money and odds are that you may not have a single Gil yet. If your Moogle is nice though, maybe you could ask him or her to loan you some Gil...


Airships
— Every Four Hours —

Upon reaching Trano Golsaucia, you will also have the right to board an Airship. Exceptionally, there is an Airship available every four hours, all because of your arrival so that Heroes of Light can meet each other and go to Aqures Ixen with ease.

The flight itself should take between four to six hours as it will travel from one city to the other on route. This is nothing special for the denizens of this world, but for you it may be quite the experience if you never boarded a plane or any flying contraptions before. The service is nothing special, but there are some light refreshments offered free of charge. Note that most of the employees on Airships are Hypello.


Aqures Ixen
— After an Airship Trip —

Upon arriving in Aqures Ixen, the first thing you will see is the Airship Port in the 12th District. Following that, no doubt your eyes will find the Castle of Aqures Ixen, a classic yet refined structure standing in the city. From there on, characters are free to visit the city-- There are no attractions in this city, but there are scientific buildings, another Blitzball Stadium and even an Observatory serving as base for the Heroes of Light. If you'd like more details regarding all that is available in Aqures Ixen, you can find everything here!

Or maybe -and perhaps inevitably!- you could visit your new house in the 11th or 14th District, and get to know your new neighbors and housemate. It's been a long day, so you could use some sleep. Hopefully your neighbors are people you will get along with...

"Yep, right now there is no choice." But she did agree that if there was a way in, there must be a way out as well. But so far nothing seemed obvious to say the least. Maybe it was something that wasn't as obvious, something small, maybe.

As she started to walk, she wondered these things over and over in her head. "Maybe there is, but for all we know the way back might not be as easy as brining us here, might be for all we know dangerous."

She was quick to note his movements, but didn't have an understand as to why. Maybe if she watched him more she would come to understand a bit better. After all if they were to live together she would need to get to know her house mates.

Leaning forward slightly, she glanced into the first room before walking over to the next one, taking a closer look at it.

"Yeah, I mean I guess they must have been expecting us, which is kind of weird, right?"
dragonflame: (104)

[personal profile] dragonflame 2015-05-19 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Um well..." She put a finger lightly against her cheek. "It all depends on what you enjoy doing. I myself enjoy going to the library or baking. But that's just me. So I would have to ask what interests you are into." She knew she could help more if she were to know them better.
dragonflame: (146)

"Sadly, I haven't but now I am planning to." She had wanted to go many a time but always found some reason that ended up her not going. However she knew she had been to one place before.

"Although I have been to a few places, but they are at best a day away from here via chocobo, but that's as far as I've gone."
scriptrix: (worried)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-05-19 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't cool at all!
scriptrix: (concerned)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-05-19 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't remember it well, but yes. There was a spell called Anima that opened up holes in the sky to draw people and objects in from other worlds.
scriptrix: (working)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-05-19 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. I guess I should probably test mine out. Mogjeel said I was a Scholar and a Black Mage.

[Makes sense, considering she's currently wearing a Scholar's robes and a Black Mage hat.]
scriptrix: (confused)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-05-19 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mogjeel is a pretty classy dude when he's not shamelessly flirting with Levy. He's heard of the Moogle Meeting, but never actually done it before. His paw comes out in turn, clearly positioned for the completion of this ancient and gentlemanly greeting.]

Everyone who came here from another world does, I think.

[Levy blinks as Pakku whacks Luffy a good one, taking just one step back.]

They kind of remind me of the Exceed, actually.

[He paused, his finger tracing down the lines of the book he was currently reading. There was nothing there, so he closed the book and went to put it back on the shelf before picking another book.]

I'm glad we have something in common. It's quite to meet someone whose interested in learning.
elephanthead: (I don't know what you say)

[personal profile] elephanthead 2015-05-19 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Kite shrugged. He wouldn't mind having a tie but he didn't really think that Greg should be the one to dress him. He was about to interject when Greg jumped up with a smile.

"Yeah! Let's draw."

Before the young boy could go running off Kite pulled a piece of paper and a pencil from his mail bag. Of course all moogles had a way to write letters. He passed them over to Greg.

"Here. Kupo."

Greg smiled, "Thank you." He was polite before laying on his belly so that he could draw a fancy outfit for his frog.
scriptrix: (interested)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-05-19 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
My specialty at home was script magic, so I'm always reading books. Even if I didn't have magic, though, I'd read them anyway.
elephanthead: (Teehee)

[personal profile] elephanthead 2015-05-19 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Kite shook his head slowly. He didn't want Greg to have a drum. "We will find something he can play. Kupo. He's young and I'm sure he's eager to learn."

Greg just looked up at Kite with a smile as if sharing a secret that no one else knew. He then turned to face Johnny.

"We should put on a concert! Frog can sing!"
whereishe: (Leaning forward)

[personal profile] whereishe 2015-05-19 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

[Yuna doesn't even know what an S-class is but she's happy to talk about magic. It is something that interests her since bouncing between worlds, every place is a little different.]
whereishe: (laughing)

[personal profile] whereishe 2015-05-19 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuna's hand covered her mouth as she laughed. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry. No one changed you. It's just the clothes that are given to you by your class. Your moogle can change it back to what your used to if you want. Somehow the crystals control that." Yuna smiled. She liked the clothes she was wearing though they weren't unlike something she might find at home. With the other Yuna here she was avoiding wearing things from Spira. It was confusing enough as it was.
whereishe: (I got this)

[personal profile] whereishe 2015-05-19 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so.

[Yuna smiles and then has to cut off Celes before the little moogle starts rambling about how great she is at Blitzball.]

You should come see a game some time.
whereishe: (happy)

[personal profile] whereishe 2015-05-19 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's right." Yuna glanced over her clothing curiously. "I would guess black mage." She smiled.

"In this world your crystal will give you jobs. It can change you clothes but you can ask your moogle to change back into what you are more used to wearing."
whereishe: (This way)

[personal profile] whereishe 2015-05-19 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuna smiled at Tear. It wasn't a good joke but Yuna was happy that she tried. She knew it might take time but they can be friends again.

"I have. Actually.." She paused looking around the area curiously. "There is someone else here who looks just like me. I mean, she is me from over four years ago. It's a little strange." And Awkward, it's very awkward but Yuna was trying her best anyway.

"I've also met a lot of people who don't remember me." Which at times makes Yuna feel like she's going crazy.
scriptrix: (Default)

[personal profile] scriptrix 2015-05-19 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably, yeah! They're the strongest mages in the guild.

[It makes Levy feel more at home too, so she's happy with this.]
whereishe: (I got this)

[personal profile] whereishe 2015-05-19 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for saying so but there are plenty of people stronger than I am.

[Yuna smiles.]

Still, it sounds like fun.

[Her gaze flicks to the sky line and she notes that Celes still hasn't come to find her, which means he's sulking.]
forcegalactic: (why is there trouble in this place?)

oh god tablet tagging

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-05-19 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, looks like they don't differentiate between actual heroes and troublemakers," he said as he shook his head. "I got a feelin' their plan won't go as well as they thought."

Annie crosses her arms and glared at the Barkeep from the side of her eyes. Again, this was tangentially her fault. Why was she stuck with such a rude Hero?

"Somethin' about a city down south, yeah. Got a house all prepared for me there, expectin' me to just accept everythin' as it is. I never got no choice in where I wanted to stay."
goddessofthesky: (Lets go! We can do this)

I.

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2015-05-19 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, we have something set up for heroes to help and I have a journal where I've been writing everything that's happened so far down. We know what our rough goal is but the how has more than a few of us stumped. This world is different." Which was the nice way to put it. This world, even when it was similar to others, had it's own rules and it's own past. Everything was strange.

"We have a meeting coming up in Aqures Ixen to discus what we might be able to do next. You should come." If only to listen and learn more.

"Yeah, everyone seems occupied with their own business, but I think we're all in the same boat, y'know? We don't really know what this place is like yet, and we're all still kind of getting adjusted to not being at home. I don't think anybody would complain about someone approaching them, especially not with a voice like that," He keeps his smile and stance remarkably casual as he says it. As far as he's concerned, he's happy to meet with as many people as he can.

Still, looking at the girl, she seemed pretty sad and distant. Maybe there was another reason she was singing so quietly? "Hey, that song, it was really important to you, wasn't it?"
nosferatanking: (pic#9057632)

Re: II!

[personal profile] nosferatanking 2015-05-19 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
And he can't help but chuckle in return. The girl's behavior certainly reminded him of some of his friends back home.

Morgan smiled as he pulled out his own coin purse, "I can't say that I've ever heard of pg, but I have a few gold coins from back home! I'm sure those would be okay, right?" He didn't have much to his name because most of it had been in their treasury, but he definitely had enough for one or two crepes.

...Or so he thought. It wasn't long before Robin flew out of her hiding place, frowning (as much as a moogle can frown, anyway).

"Sorry to burst your bubble, kupo, but neither of these is going to work here. You'll need Gil."

[personal profile] sizedoesntmatter 2015-05-19 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[he wasn't sure how to answer her. What he would recommend in a place like this? That was a hard one, he just couldn't pick on by itself.]

Um, well. I couldn't just pick one thing, so I can show you to all the games that are around... That would be a start at least.
nosferatanking: (pic#9057638)

[personal profile] nosferatanking 2015-05-19 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's nice to meet you, Levy!" And with that, Morgan lets go. He looks at Lucy with a curious expression.

"What's Fairy Tail, if I may ask?"
