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!

Curti Center

“This is my new home? Sorry, but you’re gonna have to send me back, pronto. I don’t think Lord Beerus and Lord Whis would be happy I was stuck here.”

And among the various people is a man in an Orange gi with spiky black hair looking quite worried.

“And that’s not to mention Chi-chi! I got fields to tend and all!”

Guild

The Monk Guild! Goku really felt like home now! It may not be like his old strength, but it’s something awesome to try out.

“Eheheh, I haven’t trained in a school since I was 12!” Goku said, fixing his belt before noticing someone approaching him. “Ah, you’re part of the Guild, too, huh? Great! I guess we’re classmates, then!” With that, he drops into a fighting pose. “C’mon, I wanna see how strong you are! Let’s spar a little!”

Random Encounter

“HAAAAAAA!” A powerful kick dug into a beast’s face as Goku ended up saving someone from being their meal. Looks tough, but Goku’s tougher. Usually.

“Go on! Get out of here!” Goku shouter. “I’ll keep it busy!”

Connie sighs from beneath the hood of her heavy winter coat. "Um, sir, sorry, but," she shouts over the howling winter wind, "I know I look young, but, um, I can defend myself just fine! Get out of the way!" Connie raises her rod and begins focusing intently on the annoyance brought on the well-meaning stranger who had unintentionally blocked her shot, and the frustration of how the yeti had alluded her for hours. Remember, just like Palom said. Concentrate on your emotions, and... "Fire!" she shouts at the top of her lungs, and an orb of flames shoots out from the tip of the wooden rod and towards the yeti.

Amelia hadn't done much hand to hand training since she started traveling away from home, but there was something affirming about re-learning the skills her dad had taught her. A way of keeping him with her, even when she was far from home. So of course she'd joined the Monk's Guild.

"Right. I'm a proud student of Saillune's martial arts tradition," Amelia said. "Let's see how you hold up against the fires of justice."

“Heh, I don’t fashion myself like that, but the last guy who acted like that was a real jerk.” Goku said, Jiren’s antics still fresh. “C’mon, Let’s see what your Justice is about!”

With that, Goku made the first move, performing a Tackle to start things off.

Amelia had meant to dodge, but her luck at the best of times was not good -- this was the sort of person who could do a somersault and handspring perfectly, land on a single twig in an empty field, then fall on her butt.

This was better. she was knocked off-balance, but she could still give a pretty decent kick. None of the class moves, just a normal attack, trying to unbalance Goku in return.

Goku grunted as he blocked the kick. Normally, such a blow wouldn't really bother him. At all. Now? That stung.

"Man, why did this world take away everything? I feel... normal." Goku groused, throwing a punch at Amelia next.

Amelia managed to block it! Hooray! Not the smartest thing she could do; it was going to leave a bruise.

"I don't have my magic either," she commented, then tried to punch back. Sure, why not?

"So, we're all stuck in the same boat, huh?" Goku replied, blocking that punch. "You're pretty good at this!"

And he's going to return with a kick.

"I've been training with my father since I was little," Amelia said. She shifted, taking the kick as a glancing blow. Not what she had intended, but she was out of practice.
