[A - locked to Cloud and Reno]
[In the backyard of A-13 are two newly-finished motorcycles built by Graham. It took him several months of collecting scrap parts from his job at Shoopuff Airlines, and wherever else he could get them. While not as fond of building as he is tearing apart, Graham made the concession to help build the bikes after Reno found him the blueprints for them. The lofty idea of transforming Crystallis by creating an industrial revolution had crossed his mind, but this is Graham Specter, and some other idea distracted him soon after. But at least he managed to get these two bikes done!

While Reno was sent a letter (written by Kuprono, Graham's moogle, and definitely not Graham himself), Cloud shares a house with Graham, and Kuprono alerts him to the completed project. Graham is in the backyard, both new bikes and his old one all out on display. The new ones aren't the prettiest things around - considering they're made of of scrapped and reconstituted parts - but they look sturdy and solid enough. Graham himself is sitting nearby, disassembling what his leftover parts into their base components, for some reason. Maybe for later use, maybe just for fun.]



[B - open]
[Graham's not often at the pubs in town, but something compels him today to visit the Space Saloon. He seems to be in a rather cherry mood, if you can get past the fact that he is still tossing around his giant, intimidating wrench around like it was nothing.

He plops down at a bar stool to make his order.]

What: Too long has this mighty enemy gone undefeated and free. It's time to capture a Hamster for the Monster Area to earn som crystals.
Where: Outside of Aqures Ixen
When: June 6th, Nighttime
Warnings: Lots of violence.

Today was the big day. The battle of a lifetime. One that had to be won with the strength of a hundred hearts. Or, at least, several powerful Heroes.

For tonight, a band of brave adventurers had to face the killer hamster.

Duster learned that this adorable animal was deadlier than it seemed thanks to the letters he got in return, so he made sure to stock up on potions, eat well, and get plenty of rest before meeting up with the rest of the gang. His ocarina had been cleaned earlier, ensuring that his songs would play clearly, and he had bought sturdier shoes in case he had to make use of his Monk Job.

Tonight, they were either going to bring hope to the world, or Crystallis was going to see more death on its surface.

Where: Chocobo Ranch, Chocobo Forest, and points in between
When: May 20th-24th
Summary: Cloud leads a second trip to the Chocobo Forest in the hopes of learning more about the Chocobo’s Paradise, seeing if their birds can learn new skills, and just see how Chocoboy and Mene are doing
Warnings: Roaming Monsters

It hadn’t been so long since the last trip to the Chocobo Forest that Cloud was worried about it or the boy and moogle who were residing there. Rather, the matter of the Chocobo’s Paradise had his curiosity, and with the Calamity spreading as it was he wasn’t sure how long they’d have before the forest was overtaken. That and their departure last time was a bit hurried for the sake of Zack’s well being. He wanted to properly thank Chocoboy and Mene for their help, not simply by a letter, and see if there was anything more they needed.

Just prior to the trip, after a brief but fun run in the Triple Triad tournament, Cloud sent out letters to everyone he'd previously spoken to about this trip confirming a day and time to disembark and to meet him at the Ranch.

What: A log for everyone to gain the information in the Hidden Truth video tape.
Where: The Observatory.

There had been a flurry of letters sent out from Jack and Chiaki, first to Zelda to ask to borrow the Observatory, and then to every Hero of Light, alerting them that they had uncovered some intelligence received in the Heran Empire before the Capital had fallen to Crystal, and that everyone needed to see it immediately.

Jack, Chiaki, and a few others brought in a screen connected to a machine that some would recognize as a VCR. "With our peace mission to the Imperial Capital over Christmas, we returned with a recording made on 20th-century Earth technology, the kind that doesn't have an analogue on Crystallis. It took us time to build a machine to be able to play it. This information comes from Kalki, recorded what appears to be years ago. We obtained it from the Imperial Spy, Jenni. As of right now, we still have no reason to believe that Kalki is alive. But this comes from her, and I apologize to everyone who might be upset by seeing her again."

With that, Jack plays the recording. He stands by the screen and repeats the words for everyone to hear, for those who cannot understand English. Since Kalki's first words are to explain why she is recording it this way, it makes sense why he has to do this. He keeps his own emotions in check throughout, until the explanation of the Bard song that everyone gets to hear. That seems to upset Jack.

Once the recording is over, Jack pauses. "We will need some help from any other English speakers to create a written transcript of the recording so that anyone can access this information at any time. The tape and player will remain here for any Heroes to review. We ask that you please be careful with the machine."

Finally, Jack sits down to let the room descend into the inevitable chaos.

Summary: Cloud returns from the Chocobo Forest adventure to learn some unhappy news. And some UFO stakeouting.
Warnings: Probable Feels

Aqures Markets - February 7th

Cloud smiled as he watched Zack walk alongside him, beak high and chest puffed out as he showed off his new plumage. Not only was his companion back in good health and spirits but his feathers had turned a rich blue after that mysterious chest. Cloud had been worried for his bird at first but he knew that if something was wrong that Zack wouldn’t keep it secret. No, it looked like he was back and better than ever.

The Old Man had been happy to see Zack as well, but then he quickly laid into the blonde Hero about the time he took away and the resources he used. He was a bit heavy handed about it but Cloud didn’t mind spending his own gil to help restock some of the supplies that they had borrowed from the farm. After all, they had done so much for Zack while he was sick. The chocobo continued to preen, showing off to the different merchants who knew the pair while Cloud made his purchases, soaking up all the compliments and admiration he could.

Hospital - February 7th

Cloud was kicking himself. After returning triumphant from the quest he’d gone looking for all of his friends, everyone who was worried about Zack to show them that he was okay. It wasn’t long before people told him the news of what had happened while he was away. He hadn’t heard from her even after he sent out his letter following the vision but he knew she was still around.

So of course she had turned to crystal while he was away. As sure he was that the adventure he’d gone off on was the right thing to do he still couldn’t help but feel guilty about being gone when maybe, just maybe, she had needed him too.

He sat in front of the statues of Zack and Tifa, quietly talking to them both and filling them in on what had happened. “So Zack...he’s fine now. And he’s turned blue. I think he can swim now but we haven’t had a chance to check it.” He wasn’t crying, but his throat was tightening up and his voice trembled with a wall about to break.

Around the Chocobo Ranch - Evening February 14th

Valentione’s Day. Mako had encouraged him to go out and take part in the festivities but Cloud had quietly pushed those suggestions aside. Even if there had been a wall between himself and Tifa he couldn’t help but pine for her and now, scant days after she turned to crystal, he was in no mood to take part in the festivities.

Instead he took the opportunity to go out riding with Zack around the region of the Chocobo Farm. He’d been asked to keep an eye out for those UFO’s and since they had gone after the birds last time it seemed like a good idea to keep watch in this area. He was pretty easy to spot on the open plains should anyone decide to join him and keep him company.

Where: On the road to and adventures in the Crystal Forest
When: February 1-6
Summary: Cloud and his friends embark on a journey south across the continent to visit the fabled Chocobo Forest
Warnings: None

To say that Cloud was overwhelmed by the support he received in chasing down a rumor for the sake of his chocobo would be an understatement. Friends and acquaintances both had come together to help, largely by a single bond: their love of Chocobos and their desire not to see one suffer any longer than he had to from the illness he’d been suffering. It would be a long journey, but as long as luck was with them and they moved swiftly he hoped that they would be back in around a week.

Warnings: Personality changes

Given how things have gone for Cloud in the past with some of the special seasonal Jobs, he was a little reluctant to use this one. Mako didn't seem that impressed with it either but this time of year always made him a little grumpy. It was too cold. But after thinking it over Cloud's eyes went back to the letter the moogles sent asking for help, not to mention those sent by the other Heroes getting into the spirit of the season as well.

And so Cloud donned the job before penning his responses, some of which started to show a bit more cheer for the season that he'd normally give. After telling everyone he was planning to help, it was time to put it into action. He asked for the month off from the Chocobo Ranch owner who wasn't thrilled with him taking a break, but this was for a better cause than being a Hero of Light after all.

And so Cloud began his Christmas adventure~

OOC NOTES
There will be two threads for each day: one for mingling, and one for fighting monsters/encountering chocobos. The encounter schedule is listed below. Assume encounters A-E happen in the daytime, and F-J happen at night. We can assume that most of the encounters are handwaved, so if there's one you'd love to play out, start a thread with the encounter listed in the subject. Example: Day 2, Encounter X: Five Hamsters.

Note: We will not find five hamsters. No one is allowed to die horrifically in this fun-filled expedition.

Some chocobo captures are reserved for those who signed up, and have been marked accordingly. You can claim one of the encounters on this list, if you like. And if you're a new character, you can join too! Either assume Rukia mentioned it to them and invited them along, or PM me and I'll have Rukia meet your character in the intro log if she hasn't already.

Who: Ashelia and you!
When: After the latest meeting at the Observatory
Where/What: 1. Walking through the districts | 2. At the cemetery
Warnings: Potential profound sadness~

1. Out and about

Since returning from Aqures Tosf - a lot less dramatic than her last exit from the ruined city - Ashelia had mostly been cooped up in her office, writing letters, signing things, trying to help put the economy of Aqures Ixen back together with nothing but a quill and some ink. Everyone was doing their part, what they were best suited for, and that's where she belonged. Most of the time, anyway. There were other things royals were expected to do in times of crisis, and since Queen Sarah was still nowhere to be found, Ashelia took matters into her own hands.

She walked down the streets, talking to citizens and handing out bread from a quaint basket on her forearm. She patted children on the head, nodded understandingly at the complaints and fears of the citizenry and promised them safety and security. Despite the damage to the city, the Heroes had triumphed over the Empire's forces. That fact alone made it much easier for her to make the people smile and laugh and look past what had happened to their homes.

2. Paying her respects

There was another duty royals had - a duty Ashelia was unfortunately altogether too familiar with. Just as soon as she could drag herself away from her desk, Ashelia went down to the cemetery. She dressed all in black out of respect, face solemn but clearly visible - hiding behind a veil would not do her any favours this time. She had to be seem mourning, had to be seen caring deeply and respecting the sacrifices made by the brave soldiers of both Aqures Ixen and Esdham - especially since she wasn't sure she'd be able to make it to the Republic for their own ceremony.

So she stood there, straight-backed and solemn, hands over her heart and head bowed. It helped that she didn't really have to act. War and loss had been a constant in her life. Mourning was something she was good at. Sure, being here and having people see her like this served a double purpose, but didn't everything serve a double purpose when one wore a crown?
