Characters: All the "Heroes of Light" (only new characters can start threads).
Where: Aqures Ixen.
When: September 01st - September 30th. New characters may wake up any time.

Summary: The new Heroes of Light awaken from Crystal Stasis and might find themselves in quite the predicament. Are they in Aqures Ixen, Trano Golsaucia, the Desert, a Forest or a completely empty plain? The choice is yours! You can have your character wake up anywhere, so long as the location is neither crystallized nor sealed away (such as the Temple of the Heroes of Light).

Please refer to the Information Post for more information regarding the state of Crystallis. Fear not however as soon a Moogle and maybe your friends shall come to you. Indeed, Heroes of Light in Aqures Ixen have access to a map that show them whenever a new Hero of Light appears.The Moogles are using it to quickly find any newcomers, but nothing prevents other Heroes of Light from using it to go to the rescue! The exception to this are characters who were formerly in the game: they will wake up from Crystal Stasis in the Hospital of Aqures Ixen.

Furthermore, feel free to plot out with players already in-game if you want for them to come and search your character, find them and plot their escape from a particularly dangerous place and the likes!

Warning: N/A.

WHO: Ashelia, Jade and Sephiroth
WHAT: Getting to the bottom of Cid's letter.
WHEN: September 15th
WHERE: Ashelia's office in the Observatory
WARNINGS: Probs none.

The letter had been short and to the point.

Sephiroth,

I believe it is in your best interest to come and see me at your earliest convenience regarding our conversation in the Void.

Respectfully,
Lady Ashelia


Though she went outside often enough in order to meet with trade partners as part of her bid to rebuild the Aqurean economy, Ashelia did spent most of her time in her office reading over proposals and missives and signing her name on any number of trade agreements. So, whenever Sephiroth enters, Ashelia will be sitting at her rickety desk, back straight as an arrow, reading through yet another rejection from a merchant family in Flence.

She didn't blame them - the situation on the continent was still volatile as ever, despite the Heroes' miraculous victory, disappearance and return - or perhaps, because of it. Restoring confidence in the people of Crystallis' investments - especially in and around Aqures Ixen proper - was a difficult, complicated yet necessary task. With Queen Sarah still missing, it seemed to Ashe that it fell to her.

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?

Characters: Kobato Hanato, Zelda, Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca, Cloud Strife, Ales Mansay, Elizabeth, Ib and whoever else wants to join in. Just let me know.
Where: Aqurean Forest
When: April 16th
Summary: Kobato has a quest she needs to do. So she brought along some people to help her.
Warnings: Violence and fighting of the Eidolon: Dark Ramuh

Kobato honestly didn't know what to expect when it came to the quest she had been assigned. She needed to do a summoning ritual to check if this one like many of the other had fallen into darkness. If they had she was to report back, but sdeep down, just hearing the word darkness made her want to try and do something more. So she had sent a message to others to join her in this quest. A quest that she was unsure of what will possibly happen and had her more than a little worried.

But now she stood where she was meant to, quietly getting ready for the summoning. As she turned her head, she checked with the ones that had chosen to come here. To help and that she was very grateful for them in doing.

"I'm about to perform the summoning, so is everyone ready for whatever happens?" She she had no clue what would happen and that made her more than a little nervous.

Characters: Gathering for Newbie's to meet and Mingle
Where: Observatory
When: March 7th
Summary: Zelda is getting a party together for those who are new and old so that everyone can meet. She will also answer anyone's question.
Warning: None yet. Will monitor.


The Observatory looks like it was still being worked on from the outside. The building was old and the heroes have only had a few months to work on it. Stables were in the process of being built around the side and it looks as if you can see the whole city from its highest point.

Inside the main entrance was cleaned and made to feel comfortable with soft lighting and polished floors. The front desk has snacks and drinks on it while chairs line the walls. The designs are simple favoring functionality over gaudiness.


[ooc: Feel free to make top posts and tag around! Figured it'd be a great place to meet and talk! Zelda will have a top post to answer questions... to the best of her abilities.]

Summary: Ashelia has called a meeting - under the guise of a party - to discuss the next steps forward for the Heroes following the revelations revealed in the shared dream.
Warnings: N/A

Alternately, if your character is bringing up something on their own, or not in direct reply to something Ashelia has mentioned, feel free to out the subject in the Subject line! There's a lot going on and a lot of ground to cover, so let's keep it organized so things are easy to find later!

[personal profile] rhapsoidein
Characters: Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca and Genesis Rhapsodos
Where: The small cafe on the border of the 10th/11th Districts
When: December 12th
Summary: Genesis needs to have a chat and only wants to speak to Ashe about it.
Warning: None

They never did quite set up a specific time to meet, but Genesis didn't mind. She wanted some time to think before having her talk with Ashe. She never quite thought she would even need to seek advice for this sort of thing, as she thought she had it squared away. And perhaps she does, to an extent. She had spoken to Sephiroth, had become very close to the other Genesis, and Angeal was treating her no differently than he would her other self. It was refreshing but at the same time, quite maddening. These were her friends, but they were not hers. Although, that applied to only Angeal and Sephiroth as she regarded Gen like a brother she never had and would love to have. She didn't know what to do, really. Especially in regards to Angeal.

It was no secret that she had harbored a crush for her childhood friend for some time. But over the last few years of chaos, it was pretty obvious she was a bad choice for him. The way she had treated him, used him, manipulated him, and for what? So he couldn't go to Sephiroth and Zack even after they, too, had defected? It was dumb and mean on her part and, now that she was not effected by degradation, she could see it clearly. But this Angeal did not go through what the same trials that her Angeal did, he wasn't the one she grew up with. So why the hell were these feelings returning? No, she knew why, because it was as if nothing had happened. They were moving on with their lives, in a way ShinRa would have never allowed. But that didn't stop her from realizing that this was not her Angeal that she was developing a crush for all over again.

What was she suppose to do now?

Ashelia and Lightning have been talking for a while about checking out the lost city of Aqures Tosf. Surely, there must be answers there; it's the original resting place of the Crystal of Fire before it destroyed the city, crystallizing the inhabitants it didn't kill outright. With Aqures Ixen nearly coming to the same end on The Night of the Thirteen Moogles, answers are needed more than ever.

What awaits on that forsaken island? Marvels? Horros? Treasure? The truth? No one knows. Will you take on the challenge?

He smuggled in two small containers of grapes in case someone wants to snack on something.

Characters: OPEN (Ramza and whoever wishes to join)
Where/When: Starting with the Mognet bulletin boards, then branching out around the city, Oct 18th-the end of the event?
Summary: Something is attacking moogles and making Heroes sick. In an effort to find out what is going on and prevent further damage, Ramza is trying to set up some patrols around the city.
Warnings: Injured Moogles, possibly people dying.

A. At the Mognet Bulletin Boards in your District

The skies around Aqures Ixen seemed unnaturally quiet as Heroes stopped sending their moogles out to deliver messages. Ramza did not know what manner of person or creature was attacking their white winged allies, but he did not wish to allow it to roam the streets freely. With communications down and some Heroes bedridden with various illnesses, it seemed the best way to proceed is to set up a patrol.

Ramza refused to endanger Simon by asking the moogle to deliver the message to the other Heroes. Instead, he wrote out the message on a sheet of parchment and attached it to the bulletin board in the middle of the district. Hopefully, the Heroes who were still well enough to aid in the patrol would see it.

[The message Ramza leaves has a brief explanation of the patrols, a few routes sketched out, and a series of days and times that a hero can sign up for. Most of the routes circle past houses, so that, if a Hero falls ill, help will not be too far away.]

B. On your Patrol Route

Darkness had fallen. The streets were quiet, with the lights from the Moogle's decorations casting a eerie glow. Not knowing what enemy they faced, Ramza tried to coordinate each patrol so that no hero went unaccompanied. There was strength in numbers...he hoped.

[Note: The heroes on patrol will not be able to locate whatever it is attacking the moogles. If any moogles are sent out.away from their heroes during patrols, they will most likely be injured, and if a moogle actively attempts to guide the heroes to the attacker, they will be wounded.]

Overture
It’s market day in Aqures Ixen. People stream out of their homes and into the common areas, carrying all kinds of items, for bartering is just as popular on these days as buying things outright. Market days always bring with them a special kind of energy. Anything is possible on these days. One never knows what treasures one might find for sale. Except, of course, for Baltoro’s Blooms.
