TEST DRIVE MEME
  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! 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! J. WILD CARD Feeling inspired to create your own prompt? The power is yours! |
I figure one day I might play FF13-3, see how it ends, scream at Snow. Maybe. 13-2 was... ew.
"You don't have to know much about the Paladins or Voltron. Just like I don't have to know much about the l'Cie or magic or Eidolons," Hunk shrugs, and shakes his head. "I mean, we trust each other enough to talk about our worlds and what we've been through, so we can definitely trust each other in a fight. See," he pauses, stifling a laugh, "the other Paladins and I didn't all trust or like each other at first, and we've done some great things."
Hunk shrugs, shaking his head faux-judgmentally. "I mean if the Paladins can work that well despite being rough, that means us and anyone else we work with would probably have a bit of an advantage!"
Excuse u, 13-2 gave me *adult Hope*, the greatest thing ever???
"I understand," He said. "I never met the others before we became l'Cie. So I didn't know who to trust."
He just followed Lightning because... well, he wasn't too sure anymore. She seemed the most capable and just as hell bent on revenge at the time as he was. And they'd changed over the course of their journey, changing their goal and she had become a lot more than just someone to follow. She was a friend.
"But being in the same boat as others... it does bring people together in ways that one doesn't expect. What I mean is... yes, you can bring the cake to the party."
Hope/Alyssa should've been the main characters instead of Serah/Noel, they were so much better.
"We're gonna have some great adventures, Hope!" A beat causes the glee to erode, to shift to a look and tone of concern and uncertainty. "You... you're a kid, so are you gonna go to school? That might make things trickier..."
And then he shifts his posture out of the hug, laughing with more calm than confusion. "But it's not like we'd be attached at the hip or something. So standing offer, whenever you want to put yourself in harm's way."
I actually didn't mind them! But I definitely would have preferred Hope and Alyssa :3
He shrugged with a helpless smile on his face. He really wasn't. It'd be a shame not to continue his studies and learn more about this world. But there was also a lot to explore! How did he balance the two?
"Depending on how long this whole... thing is, I have time," He grabbed his back to pull out his slate. He opened up his friend's list and went to search for Hunk. He only had one other friend on here, Tidus. "I'm staying with another person I met, he's a Blitzer. But I wanted to see what else was out here before I settled. May as well keep track of everyone I meet! And... there! Found you and added you."
He smiled brighter and showed Hunk.
All four of them in one party (plus some monsters) would've been AMAZING.
He shrugged, intentionally making it as played-up and comically large a gesture as he can. "All you have to do is tell me what in the world a blitzer is. That sounds incredibly unsafe." But he's morbidly curious.
Right? Weh.
But a tutor in engineering? That pinged Hope's nerd senses to its core. He was no real mechanic himself, and he really had no idea what he wanted to study. Chemistry was its own ball game too, if that's what Chemists do anyway. It sounded like it was. Mixing compounds to create things like potions and whatnot.
"So, you're a chef and a mechanic?" He said with a soft smile. "Guess I shouldn't find that odd. I also picked up Summoner, for the chance to maybe see Alexander again."
Even if it might not be the same Alexander.
no subject
"Hey, you'll see him again. He shows up when you need him to, so you must be doing pretty okay." Another smile, though it slips into a jokesy smirk after a few moments. "And since you asked, I am a chef and a mechanic." And like a soldier, a Paladin, a leg... "Cooking is basically just engineering and chemistry, if you think about it!"
