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...

[01 - Awakening + 'sup newbie bros]

Ventus had awoken with a start, his body tensed with that unpleasant sensation of already knowing that something was amiss before he did. He felt stiff, sore, with the kind of groggy pang in his head that suggested he had overslept by a few unnecessary hours. Even then, he had taken a few minutes to finally get himself together and move -- only to realize that he had no idea where he was.

Neither could he say why he was loosely gripping his Keyblade in one hand, since he didn't remember summoning it, or why he was dressed in clothes he didn't recognize. For a heavy-headed few minutes he couldn't say anything, period, because all of his most recent memories were a broken and scattered blur. Faces, names, and sensations were all he could process for an unnerving moment, and even those were unclear.

But then the moogle arrived. She talked to him, patiently coaxed him out of his dazed spell, and that helped. Within half an hour Ven was on his feet and alert -- more or less.

"Take it easy, kupo!" The moogle grabbed lightly at Ven's sleeve, as if she stood a chance at actually keeping him still. "If you can barely walk, you can't make it to the city yet, kupo! What kind of entrance would it be if you just rolled down the hill the whole way?"

Despite himself, Ven gave a soft laugh. "I guess that'd be the easy way." Mograe huffed indignantly, looking so fed up that Ven quickly apologized. "I'm just kidding," he assured her with a smile. "But I'm fine, really. You don't have to worry." Never mind that he was still avoiding any quick or sudden movements, and would stare absently and solemnly across the temple now and again, deep in thought. There was a lot on his mind, not even including what Mograe had told him about this world and the Heroes and everything else, and it showed.

[02 - Trano Golsaucia]

After speaking to some of the others and getting some more answers (none much more satisfactory than what his moogle supplied), it didn't take Ven long to make his way to the city that had been mentioned. The cold air might have helped his senses, because he was looking and feeling much more clearheaded and energetic by the time he stepped into the city limits, his Keyblade now strapped to his back for the time being.

Despite the enormous question mark that still hovered over everything he'd been told, he couldn't keep a smile off his face as he observed the town and its inhabitants. It was big, it was bustling, it was full of life -- things he couldn't help feeling as though he'd missed out on for far too long. So for now, at least, Ven allowed the present scene to take his attention as he wandered along the street, only half-listening to his moogle as she chatted at his shoulder. He didn't stay long in any one place, or even enter any of the buildings despite his curiosity; he was content to hurry along and simply observe, listen, feel, and be a part of the crowd around him. He felt like he had more energy than he knew what to do with.

[03 - Aqures Ixen, around town a day or two later or whenever I'll roll with it]

If reaching Trano Golsaucia had been a good pick-me-up for Ven's mood, then arriving in Aqures Ixen could be considered a full cure. For all the lingering questions and concerns he still had, he felt much more like himself by the time he stepped into the port -- more smiles, more easy jokes, more chatting with whoever would humor him -- even if a part of him still felt a little vulnerable. He didn't like openly carrying his Keyblade on him like this, but he still hadn't figured out its sudden inability to be dismissed and summoned. It was disconcerting, much like the discovery of his sudden lack of magical prowess, but it was nothing that the cheery sight of another busy city couldn't distract him from for the moment.

Mograe, however, seemed put out when Ven only spared the Castle a passing glance.

"Aren't you curious about it, kupo?" she asked, hurrying to keep up with him when he headed in another direction entirely. She had, after all, prepared a rather well-organized tour speech for when her Hero arrived in the city -- she hadn't expected this much disinterest, even from a kid.

"Hm? Oh -- uh -- sure." He shrugged a shoulder, but his smile was still bright. "You can tell me on the way, right?" His gaze shifted past her, lighting up in curiosity. "Oh, hey, what's that?"

"A Blitzball stadium, kupo."

"Another one? It must be pretty popular here, huh? What's it about?"

Mograe sighed. She should have expected as much from a teenage boy. As she followed him along the street, she could be heard explaining the basics of Blitzball -- and as uninteresting as she personally found the sport, she was still thorough and professional in her explanation. Let it never be said that she didn't take her role seriously.
goddessofthesky: (huh)

[02 - Trano Golsaucia]

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2015-05-06 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Zelda came to the city to visit a friend. She hadn't expected to see the new group of heroes waking up at the temple. Her crystal blue eyes scanned the street looking for moogles that appeared to accompany a tourist. It wasn't so hard to pick them out of a crowd though Zelda couldn't help but think of their welcoming plans that weren't going to be useful now.

Her eyes landed on Ventus who was walking towards along the street. She moved from the side of the path and began stepping towards the new hero. Her long golden hair was loose flowing in the gentle breeze.

"Hello." Zelda smiled and she was glad to see that he was smiling as well. "You must be a new hero."

Kopula, her moogle, floated beside her in his usual green tunic and hat. He was silent musing about the information that Zelda had related to him earlier that day.
makingfriends: (I owe them everything I'll be)

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-06 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering the throng of people constantly passing by, Ven didn't notice that he had been approached until the stranger spoke up. Straightening up a bit out of habit, he widened his smile as he looked over, his nose and cheeks already slightly pink from the cold. The woman was pretty, just a little older than him if he had to guess. She also had a moogle with her, which must have meant that she was the same as him.

"Yeah!" he confirmed with a nod, but that quickly turned a shade sheepish as he glanced sidelong at Mograe. "Or... that's what I was told, anyway. I'm not sure I can be called a 'Hero' just like that." Modesty aside, he offered, "I'm Ventus -- but my friends just call me Ven."
goddessofthesky: (Lets go! We can do this)

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2015-05-06 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ven, then" She repeated his name with a wide smile. "I'm Zelda and don't worry about the hero thing. It's just a title for those who aren't from this world."

Zelda glanced at her moogle with a fond smile. "This is Kupola. We've been here for some time now. Maybe there is something I can help you with?" Her voice is sweet and confident despite their current situation.

forcegalactic: (why is there trouble in this place?)

Waking Up

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-05-06 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
An older man, dressed in flowing white and yellow robes, paced around the main temple room in a huff as a Moogle tried her best to keep up with him. Waking up in a strange place with strange clothes would normally not bother Barkeep, but somehow, somehow his powers were taken away. Gone was his method of returning home.

How was this possible? Did a cosmic energy being take him away in a fit of jealously, removing his powers for a cheap laugh? If he was the save the world, why take away the easier method of doing so? Who's going to look after the saloon? "Harriet's gonna worry herself half to death!" He exclaimed, not noticing Ventus sitting silently nearby.

"Mister-"

"I said, call me Barkeep," he replied in a calmer tone.

"Mister. I can't answer any of your questions, kupo." Her Hero just wouldn't shut up or even listen to her apologizes, so she had no obligation to call him that, in her opinion. "All I can do is explain what your crystal does and give you a tour of Crystallis."

"Well, takin' folks from their homes warrants plenty of explanation!" He spun on his heel to face her and threw his arms up in exasperation.

He was too absorbed in his own troubles to pay much attention to anything else in the temple.
makingfriends: (I'm afraid to even ask)

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-07 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Even with the constant chatter of Mograe and his inner thoughts distracting him, Ven was keeping an eye and ear on his surroundings as best he could. As such, he inadvertently ended up overhearing the man and his moogle -- although they were just a few feet away -- and watched them go back and forth.

Partly in an impulse to help, partly out of sympathy for that poor moogle, Ven climbed to his feet a little stiffly -- not because he needed to be standing, but because it was simply the more polite way to address someone.

"Excuse me -- sir?" he tried, his tone anything but confrontational. "I think she's right. Moogles are usually shopkeepers, you know? I don't think they'd be behind something like this."

Mograe, drifting by his shoulder, looked a bit surprised at that but remained silent.
forcegalactic: (why is there trouble in this place?)

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-05-07 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Annie sighed and gave Ventus a thankful look. Repeating the same thing over and over again was frustrating her to no end. "He's right. I deliver letters for my regular job."

"Then who am I to ask?" The anger previously in his voice faded away, though he was adamant he wanted answers. "Listen, kid," he spoke in a gentler voice. This boy looked pretty young, and had to be treated less harshly. "I'm no adventurer or hero. There's no reason why they decided I should come here without any of my powers I'm more the type to stay home and look after the saloon while other folks take care of trouble."

The teenager, with his weapon by his side, looked much more capable than he was. "But it looks like they thought someone as young as you would be good for the job. You a fighter much?"

Fellow newbieh~

"Kid! Kid! Aw, come on where did you go now, kupo...~!" Somewhere, there is a distressed moogle who has lost his Hero(ine).

Sophie wasn't responding to him either, too busy with examining everything around her like she were a starving person at a banquet. Maybe she should be worried about overstimulation? Nah, she seemed to be absorbing the things she saw and heard pretty well. Actually, depending on how observant he was, he might notice that he was being followed by Sophie, her eyes trained on the keyblade.

Not in the 'ooh shiney I want one' fashion, but more of a 'WTF is that?' sense. Of course she'll say as much if he calls her on the fact that she was ...pretty obviously following him. If he stopped short, she'd end up bumping right into him!
makingfriends: (HEART ATTACK MUCH)

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-07 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Even after some recovery time since waking, Ven's senses were still a little dulled, or at least that was how it felt. The sudden exposure to so much light and noise and movement certainly didn't help, but it was less overwhelming and more comforting as far as he was concerned. After such a long feeling of silence and stillness, this was a nice change.

In short, Ven didn't notice that he had a tag-along. It was actually his moogle, after a quick double-take and suspicious stare, who tugged on his sleeve and whispered to him.

"I think we're being followed, kupo!"

"Huh?" With less alarm than one might expect, Ven slowed to a stop and turned, expression curious but not unfriendly as he spotted the girl. "Hi!" he offered, sensing no reason for alarm. Mograe shot him a look that could have been akin to skepticism.
lucentpalisade: (Not paying attention)

[personal profile] lucentpalisade 2015-05-07 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ventus wasn't the only one who felt dulled -- sort of. Sophie's entire body felt like it wasn't even hers -- and it wasn't, exactly. Sort of. But yes, Ventus, was indeed being stalked by the Wild Sophie outside of her natural habitat. And all this snow was...strange. And slippery.

Well, stalked might be a bad word, and anyone watching the two would probably have gotten the idea that they were hanging out together. When Ventus came to a stop, Sophie did the same, her expression blank RIGHT BEFORE SHE STRIKES RAWR as she tilted her head.

"Hello." She raised a hand, "What is that?" Curious curious - she was pointing at the keyblade, since she'd never seen a contraption like that before!

03 aqures ixen! >> outside around the house okay, i hope? :3c

[personal profile] melnics 2015-05-08 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
There had been news around about new heroes of light arriving in one of the other cities. The good news of it was at least that these people weren't prisoners, which meant if any of her friends were going to touch ground in Crystallis, there was a good chance they would be safe.

Meredy had chosen to stay in Aqures Ixen, however. She was nearly back to feeling right again after the horrible dream she'd had -- and the days that had come with it afterwards. But here in the residential district, she lounged about outside of the house she shared with the others. She lounged about on her stomach, kicking her legs gently back and forth while she leaned on her elbows, smiling widely and breaking out into laughter every now and then.

"Not quick enough, heehee," she giggled, tapping her furry friend on the nose, playing with him in the sun. Quickie's attention quickly diverted elsewhere though, voices in the distance carrying towards them finally. That was enough to get Meredy to perk up as well, spying a young man close by.

"Hello!" she cried, pushing herself up quickly to her feet with a big smile.

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-08 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ven had taken his time in finding his way over to the residential district of the city. He wasn't shy about meeting anyone, least of all the people he would be boarding with, but there had been so many sights and sounds on the way that he'd ended up wandering off the main street a number of times to investigate. The more he saw, the more he wanted to see still; it had effectively dawned on him just how lucky he was to be here, even if there was no current way out and his normal abilities had been sealed. Regardless, he was, somehow, alive and awake all the same, and he wasn't about to take it for granted.

Mograe had followed along the whole way, never objecting other than to remind him of which way the apartments lay. She was feeling like a particularly lucky moogle after seeing some of the other, less tolerant Heroes who had arrived -- and while Ventus still hadn't said a whole lot about himself, she'd picked up enough bits and pieces to feel sympathetic. If he wanted to run himself ragged dashing around the streets and enjoying the sights, she couldn't argue.

But now they were approaching his assigned house, with Mograe scanning the numbers for B-10 while they continued to chat.

"I'm just saying, you should give it a try before you say that," Ven insisted.

"Fruit is for eating, kupo," Mograe replied, unconvinced, "not hitting around for sport."

"Yeah, but if y--" They both stopped short at the greeting that came their way, but Ven's look of vague surprise quickly turned into a grin as he spotted the girl. "Hi, there!"

"Oh," Mograe observed, "this is it, kupo."

Blinking, Ven glanced up at the house, its number, and then back to the girl. "Oh -- are you in B-10, too?" he asked.

"You bet! That's right!" she reached forward, trying to take one of Ventus's hands in both of hers to shake vigorously in greeting. "My name is Meredy, welcome home!" Taking a step back, she clasped her hands behind her back and rocked back and forth slightly on her heels. "Does that mean, you are new to Crystallis?" she assumed that heroes that had been here for a longer time than she already had their housing assignments. "Meredy has not been here very long, only a few months but... it is not so bad."

Aside from the being a prisoner, the possible experimentation on living subjects, the horrendous dreams, and doppelgängers from your nightmares, that is. But aside from all that, sure, it wasn't so bad.

Robin held a hand up, curiously, as a flake of snow drifted down and landed in it. She had seen snow before and, she found, it wasn't unfamiliar to her; maybe it had something to do with buried memories of who she used to be. Whoever that person was, if it was still relevant. She looked down at her hand, curious, and then she looked back around the festive city. She had a little time before she boarded an airship to Aqures Ixen.

Wherever that was, she thought. Being lost felt like old hat by now.

When she spotted Ventus walking down the street, his moogle chattering -- hers was behind her, idly studying the nearby area -- she waved a hand in his direction and called out. "Hello!" she said. "You're another of us, right?" She held her crystal up, to demonstrate, the light refracting against the bulky sleeve of her coat. "A... um, Hero of Light?"

It still sounded silly to her.
makingfriends: (Something I can put my faith in)

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-09 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Both Ven and Mograe perked up at the call, the former breaking into a smile of greeting. He instantly redirected his course to jog over to the other Hero, seemingly unfazed by the snow that had already gathered in his hair and on his shoulders. His own crystal was in his pocket, tucked away safely alongside his Wayfinder.

"Yeah, guess so!" He still found it weird, being labeled a "hero" just like that, but this world seemed settled on it whether or not he agreed. "I'm Ventus. Did you just arrive in the temple, too?"
tacticallyminded: (Pleased)

[personal profile] tacticallyminded 2015-05-09 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's right," Robin replied. "Gods, but it was big, wasn't it?"

As big as a castle or cathedral back home, she thought. She slid her crystal into her pocket -- the pockets on her new coat had plenty of room, which she rather liked -- and then she looked around the city again, before she looked back down at Ventus. She smiled at him, now, and then she extended a hand towards him. "I'm Robin," she said. "Apparently, there are airships that go to the city where more people like us are."

She asked about that. They have a little while before the first ones arrived, though, and seeing what she could of her new world seemed like the right thing to do.

Another distraction occurs!

This one in the form of a girl with blue hair actively fighting with her Moogle. It's not in the way of everyone else but it's sort of drawn a crowd.

In the even Ven stop to watch, it looks more like... they've fought before, as the Moogle is float-flipping around punches that come rapidly from the girl who... seems like if she really tried she could've hit her Moogle a while back.

Still... it might be concerning... were they fighting about something?
makingfriends: (I have no idea how that works)

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-10 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ven certainly does take notice -- even with his normal abilities sealed, his instincts (and general ability to be drawn to trouble) seem to still be intact, and he notices the commotion at a distance several seconds before his moogle does. Curious and concerned, Ven makes his way over, only to slow to a stop as he reaches speaking distance.

Mograe catches up with him a moment later and gives a small kupo! of surprise, and then does a double-take at her Hero's expression -- because rather than worried, Ven just looks curious. It does seem like this "fight" isn't very heartfelt, or at least not serious, but that's all the more reason to be confused.

"Uh..." he starts rather lamely.
comeoutswinging: (Attack)

[personal profile] comeoutswinging 2015-05-11 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"You know I can hit you whenever I want!" the girl shouts to her Moogle.

"Then why haven't you!" the female Moogle retorts, spinning in mid air and kicking at the woman's face, which is easily dodged.

The girl throws another punch, and another, both of which her Moogle either dodges or lands on her fist and hops off of it. "Because I'm just warming up. I didn't want it to be too easy."

"You're just bluff--" An even faster punch flicks through the air and catches the Moogle right in her chest! And the girl seems rather proud of it too.

"Bluffing you say?"

Bloom had taken over a day to get to her mission and back again and she was honestly really tired right now. With a small yawn escaping her lips, she knew the first thing she was planning on doing when she gave the crystal back is to rest up a bit. That seemed like a really nice idea.

She had felt bad that she missed the chance to greet new arrivals herself, but when one is given a job to do one shouldn't waste too much time in getting to it, but as she started to head off towards her destination, she nearly bumped into the blond.

"Ah, sorry. I guess I wasn't looking where I was going." Her eyes soon looked over at the other, wondering is she had seen him around before or not. She assumed not. "You must be new here, right?"
makingfriends: technically speaking, it didn't have your name on it. (Uh. Well. You see...)

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-11 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, excuse me--!" was Ven's impulsive response as he swerved to the side with a quick step, the collision narrowly (but successfully) avoided. He'd been caught up in Mograe's chatter about the history of of the market -- or, more accurately, all the sights in said market -- and for that split-second had taken his eyes off the path in front of him.

Now he blinked at the young woman, and then smiled in recognition of what was becoming a familiar question by now. "Yeah, I just arrived with the newest Heroes," he replied. "My name's Ventus -- just Ven is fine. And really, sorry about that," he added in earnest. "I wasn't really watching, either."
dragonflame: (66)

[personal profile] dragonflame 2015-05-11 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pardon me it was my fault more than anything." She stepped back, she knew the other had already avoided it, but she felt like she should apologize back to day the least. But she soon figured that neither of them had been paying all that much attention and that was enough to get a chuckle out of her.

"I guess we both weren't paying attention then." She slowly moved her hand placing in lightly on the center of her chest. "I'm Bloom. Just Bloom. It's nice to meet you Ventus."

Cloud heard the chatter about Blitzball and his attention turned from the vendor he was talking to. He looked back long enough to finish buying an apple and then walked over to Ven and Mograe.

"Oh hey there. You're one of the new heroes right?" Cloud had gone along with some of the others to Trano Golsaucia to welcome the newcomers but he hadn't been able to speak to all of them. And then his motion sickness fairly debilitated him both on the way there and back.

"I've caught a few games. Did you have any questions? I'm Cloud by the way."
makingfriends: or whatever let's just be FRANDS (You can call me Ven!)

[personal profile] makingfriends 2015-05-11 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Breaking off from his conversation, Ven looked over at the stranger with a curious look that quickly broke into a smile. "Yeah! I just arrived the other day. I'm Ventus -- just call me Ven," he offered, as casual as ever.

"He's new to Blitzball, too, kupo," Mograe added. "You can probably answer his questions better than I can." Probably was the slightly proud disclaimer there, never mind that she had seen only a couple games herself in passing. Ven missed it and looked back to Cloud, his expression lighting up.

"Oh, yeah -- so the teams play underwater, right? Is it really for the whole game?"
neverfirstclass: (Smile!)

[personal profile] neverfirstclass 2015-05-11 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good to meet you Ven." Cloud gave the moogle a friendly nod before turning his attention back to the new Hero and his questions.

"Not for the whole game. There's two halves. Some of the players have breathing gear but some of the best players can actually hold their breath the whole time. One of the other heroes, Yuna...well one of the Yuna's, they have Blitzball in her world too and she's decided to be a player here. She's one of the players who can hold her breath if you wanted to learn more about that."
