A. RETRIEVAL

Dreams fade slowly, and awareness returns in increments. The hum of machinery, the smell of recycled air, the murmurs of others waking up around you.

The interior of the ship has been outfitted with cots for those Biggs and Wedge retrieve from the Dream Width. Outside of the makeshift infirmary, windows set into the walls of the worn lounge area offer a view of space.

It’s time to meet your fellow new arrivals who have been brought together on Biggs and Wedge’s airship. None of you know how you came to be here or where you are going, and the door to the cockpit is locked as the pilots focus on navigating the treacherous obstacles of the Dream Width. You might as well take this moment to introduce yourself to your fellow travelers.

B. CURTI CENTER

There’s an almost overwhelming aura of excitement in the tower as researchers rush to document this unprecedented number of interdimensional travelers. Over the commotion, the leaders of the Center struggle to explain, ‘Welcome to Vaikuntha. We don’t know why you’ve been brought here, but this is your new home.’

The staff will do their best to help the off-worlders settle in. They answer the questions they can, provide maps and pamphlets about the world and the destinations within it, and even guide the arrivals to a neighborhood where housing has been provided for you. Yes, due to the strange influx of arrivals, you’ll be expected to share, but the Curti staff are doing the best they can under the circumstances.

Experiences like these bring people together. Perhaps you are the only one here from your world, but at least you are not alone in this experience. Others are right beside you, learning the same information, planning trips to visit the same new cities, checking out these Job things, and settling in to their new (temporary) homes.

C. UP IN THE SKY

There’s a whole new world to explore. It’s almost enough to distract from the fact that there’s one place you can’t go- home.

You are on an Airship, the main mode of transportation between the major cities of Vaikuntha. While the majority are owned by airlines, perhaps you hitched a ride with a friend that has their own. You can go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness.

D. GUILDS

Proud representatives of the Guild are lined up, ready to demonstrate their skills for the new initiates. Make sure to stay behind the designated line, this might get dangerous.

So you want a new Job? You'll have to first travel to the Guilds, sign the papers, go through the orientation and introductory lectures, and get basic training. Afterwards, you can freely chat and practice with your fellow members, celebrating your new powers, and checking out your new wardrobe.

E. LET'S BE ADVENTURERS

Separated from all of your material possessions, connections, and everything you know, and really, what you’re left with is time. Better try to make the most of it.

Enough expository banter. It's explorin' time. Maybe instead of spending every day in your room, you'd rather spend it living it up in the city of Lavode, or betting on Chocobo Races in Sparks Goldsaucia. Or maybe you'd rather go and explore the caves and ruins near Arito. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere!

F. SIDEQUESTS

Maybe you’re telling yourself, ‘I didn’t sign up for this.’ But wait, you did. At least it pays.

It all started when you checked the Quest Board. All you wanted was a few gil to spend, and here you are in the wild, hunting for a Malboro Vine. Or maybe you are in some ancient and decrepit ruins looking for an artifact. Or you could be asked to be janitor for a week. Consider yourself lucky though, at least you don't have to do that alone.

G. GET A JOB (THE OTHER KIND)

You’ve got a Job, but Claire keeps sighing and muttering about layabout space-people not earning their keep, so it might be time to seek out Employment as well.

There are plenty of opportunities to earn some gil in Vaikuntha, no matter where you choose to settle down. Your iMog slate includes listing for employment opportunities. Hopefully you can find something you can live with so that you can start saving up for an airship or the security payment for your permanent housing.

H. MOGNET

*Ding!* You’ve got Mog-Mail!

Thankfully, you can instantaneously chat with your friends around the world thanks to you iMog Slate. And unlike old-fashioned Moogle Letters, you can even send messages to everyone in a blink of an eye! However, despite the change in technology, the old tradition of Mognet Strikes have never gone away. Nobody knows any more whether the Moogles have legitimate reasons to go on strike or if they are just lazy. But today, Mognet is down, and to get information you have no choice but going to the public boards or risk message corruption and mishandling.

I. RANDOM ENCOUNTER

The ground trembles, and out of nowhere, something hostile appears! ~~Is that battle music playing?~~

You were minding your own business walking around, and suddenly monsters attacked you! Time to put to use the skills you've learned with your Jobs! Will you try to fight on your own or seek help? And remember, you die in random battle, you die FOR REAL. There’s no shame from running from enemies that are a higher level than you!

[Bloom couldn't help but give off a light chuckle, watching the scene in front of her. It was nice to see a man and a moogle be so happy to find each other again. It was always a positive sight.]

It's like watching a reunion.

[She knelt down to pick up the hat, keeping a firm grasp in her fingers before holding it out.]

And I am also pretty sure you do not want to lose this.

[His ears twitch as his moogle covered face turns in the direction of the all too familiar and unforgettable voice. Muffled though, he speaks, rising to his feet as he tries to pull Pakku from his vision.

When his words and breathing are free to live again, he blinks a few times before a wide-spread smile over takes the features of his face. Hurriedly he approaches her, not minding the hat as arms wrap about the girl's waist to lift her from the ground and spin her about with a hug.]

Bloom! Wow, it's Bloom! I don't believe it!

[Setting her down, he looks her over, eyes practically flashing stars from the excitement of seeing a beloved friend in his company once more.]

Ha! This is great! I get to see my nakama again! Pakku, did you know Bloom was here?! And you didn't say anything?

I don't think he was aware of me being here. I think he was more focused on the fact your here.

[She walked over, handing the hat back over the hat to the other before she looked to the side.]

I guess this means the gang is getting back together, right? On another adventure.

[Confidently, the Captain brushes a finger under his nose. His brow lowers, eyes going narrow as he places the hat back atop his head where it belongs.]

Mmn-.. Not sure who else is here. Pakku here says there might be a few more people from Crystallis here, but they aren't gonna' remember anything that happened.

[His lips purse into a childish pout, arms crossing over his chest as he surveys the crowd a few times more.]

What the heck is that supposed to mean? "Aren't gonna' remember anything"?

Maybe memory wipe or something.

[it was not exactly something she had come across before, so really she couldn't quite say. But for the moment she folded her arms over her chest in order to think about it.]

Though not sure if that really is it. There could be many different reasons overall. But I guess we will come cross that problem when we get to it really.

[Luffy had only briefly encountered a memory-stealing creature once before, but there didn't appear to be any evil looking seahorses about.. But that was a story for another time.

Hands on his hips he looked about the area, turning his head this way and that to get the full scope of the Center.]

Bump into anyone else you know here? I wonder how many others made it, or if there's anyone from my old crew here!

I haven't really explored all that much yet, so right now, no. But I am always up for exploration.

[That was probably going to be the first thing that she did really.]

What about you?
