Why don't the Magitek knights have their own knight order? Or squads?

We have a buncha people going out and saving the world in awesome mecha! We should be like some sort of amazing super team! What does it take to get recognized as a knight order, anyway? Some kinda oath? Or a castle?

[After a few minutes, a curious addendum appears. Apparently, Red had found some sort of new tablet app for his iMog slate; a series of scribbles become attached to the message, saved and shared one after the other a few minutes apart:]

[His thoughts are continued with a message that comes a little later.]

How do you make a good emblem for a knight order?

[Corrin looks tired. She gets what sleep she can where she can, but these loops are playing merry hell with her internal clock and all the traveling and working and planning are taking their toll, even with recovering at the start of every loop; physically at least. Still, she has a wan smile on her face and her expression is hopeful.]

Okay, so I'm just going to get started; I don't know how many of you saw this, but yesterday I made a televised speech to the people of Myste Aura to answer some questions about the Calamity I know people were having. My hope was that airing the address to the people before the queen and king gave their speech might cause it to succeed, especially with Uendo and others working the crowd afterward. In previous loops, it hasn't done much to improve morale or the situation in Myste Aura.

It was...somewhat successful. But not enough to change the situation. By myself I couldn't convince enough people that I was telling the truth or that I could be trusted. A sizable portion of the people who saw my address even thought I was crazy,

Fortunately, I think this has provided a solution; next loop I want to try giving the address again, but I need more of you with me to help address the people of Myste Aura as well. I think if there were more of us, a diverse group of Heroes all answering what questions we can about the Calamity and ensuring everyone that we will save them and stop Bahamut, with Uendo and the others working the crowd afterwards, we can make the following royal address a success and keep the people of Myste Aura from losing hope.

I especially would like the assistance of some of the native Heroes among us; having actual Vaikunthans amongst us when we give our address would go a long way to helping convince the people and help put them at ease. It will show unity, and the bonds we're forging with this planet and its people. I've worked with Serge and Dante before, and there's also...Sylvarie, I think? I apologize if there are any others I've missed I am...[Corrin stifles a yawn.] ...Sorry. My brain is kind of mush right now. I think I'm going to try and have a nap.

Anyway, if we can get the speech to go off, then I can get the king and queen to stand down from sending ships and men to fight Bahamut. I was thinking instead we could send those ships to Arito. The riots are taking longer to break out now, but they still happen and I think with Myste Aura's help we could stop them completely. Then I can approach the general in Safer Osu and with his assistance and Myste Aura's withdrawal get the rest of the Safer Osu military to stand down as well, so we can send them elsewhere too; I was thinking perhaps Port Dia-ugh, no sorry, mind slipped, I meant Nohr Port; that shark monster's attack is still proving troublesome, right? With the Safer Osu airships they could spot it approaching more quickly and provide air support to take it down once it attacks. We might be able to solve...[Corrin's brow furrows and she mutters the next part under her breath] let's see, the speech, Arito, Safer Osu, yeah, and Nohr... four ongoing problems in one go if we can pull this off.

If you would like to assist, please reply to this message so I'll know how large of a group to expect, and then meet up in Myste Aura as soon as you can at the start of the next loop. Uendo, if you and the other entertainers in the group could also be there to help keep spirits up I think that would also help tremendously as well. We can work on the address I used to ensure that everyone who appears has something to say to the people. I will turn away no one who wants to help.

I know sometimes it can seem like we're not making much progress, but we are, I can feel it. Together, our voices will reach the people.

I'll have to check back on this in a few hours, I...[Another yawn] I need a nap.

Invitation to linkshell "troll groundhog day." Accept? Y/N

( >Y )

alborada

Some of you may have heard, or this is otherwise very last minute, but tomorrow there is a local festival celebrating the contributions and cultures of Otherworlders. It takes place in Min'To, the scholars truly dedicate themselves in the efforts to learn and preserve as much as they can about the Otherworlders. Though it might not seem that way at times, we've always greatly appreciated them throughout our history.

[And with how things were shaping up, maybe this was where they needed to focus their efforts to address the oncoming Calamity. ]

The celebration doesn't have to be limited to Min'To, I don't know if we were successful in distributing enough pamphlets about regional holidays this month in time. If you're comfortable sharing what you love about your cultures and worlds, I'd be honoured to listen and perhaps pass it on to the scholars. Or we can meet in person another time, it isn't something that should be limited to one day.

There is something else I want to ask, however. [ More like several things, in all honesty, but this would already be pushing boundaries. Breathe, Sylvarie. ]

Has anyone else felt they are searching for something... else, here in Vaikuntha? Something more? Something that has been lost.

You don't have to answer, I know it sounds strange. You can ignore this altogether if you wish. Thank you for listening.

musicinmysoul

Admittedly, this is...very unlike me, but I'm going along with this before the excitement wears off. It took far longer than I thought to put together my asterisk, but I finally have something both complete and a bit more towards my style. That much isn't so out of the ordinary, but...oh, I'll just get to it. Lucian?

(There's a brief moment of discussion with her moogle before Matilda finally goes and dabbles with her iMog. The flash of a job change is nothing unusual by any means, nor is the shift in attire, but a full on shift from her normal fox appearance to that of a dragon? Not a whole lot bigger than she normally is, at least, but that's definitely a dragon there. One with scales that look as if you're looking up at space itself, seeing the stars and swirls of a blue nebula. The dragon rubs her head, the voice coming from her very much Tilly's.)

Once I learned I could call upon my draconic power in times of emergency, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep this a secret for long. And...while this is liberating, I suppose it's also a heads up to not be alarmed if you see me like this elsewhere? It may not be the greatest to go about towns in, now that I think about it...

...A-anyway, yes. This much is part of the asterisk and I'm quite happy with it. I thought I'd share that with everyone else...

(A smile. See? Nothing to worry about at all, promise! God, she's being so awkward right now, she's just...gonna end this before it gets agonizing.)

[Prior to this post being made, Corrin is quietly-and admittedly somewhat embarrassingly on her part-readmitted into the Heroes of Light linkshell after she left it several days before when her self-loathing was kicked into overdrive.]

Hello, everyone. I apologize if I had any of you worried after my last post. I was...not myself. I gather that was true for many of us the last few days.

However, now that whatever was afflicting us appears to have abated, I'll get right down to business; the day of reckoning is fast approaching and there is still one Eidolon Temple left to explore before Bahamut's arrival. Before my...episode, I had reached out to the Great Cloud Observatory in Cloud City about an expedition. With the news about Bahamut having been leaked to the general public, the staff at the Observatory were more willing to allow us entry and the chance to explore, and have granted my request.

So here is my call for help; in four days, meet at the Great Cloud Observatory, find an entrance to the Temple of Zodiark, and discover whatever secrets might be within that will help us when Bahamut arrives.

Ah, since we have some new arrivals with us, if you're interested in joining this expedition, you should be aware there will likely be danger, and not just monsters; previous Temples have included traps and puzzles of various kinds to overcome before we reached the information we sought. I expect Zodiark's Temple will be no different.

[Corrin is packing a towel this time.]

Anyway, thank you for your time. [Corrin bows her head briefly in thanks.] I have faith in this group and our ability to see this through to the end. Together, I know we will be successful. Bahamut will not find us unprepared when he arrives.

[Setting: Kitchen. The arrangement of kitchen tools, handmade homey art and a surprising number of hung-up aprons and oven mitts dot and decorate the room. This had to be some kind of studio for a cooking show, right? A guy that looks like this can't possibly have a cute kitchen, right?

Yet adorned in his black, skull-printed apron, brandishing a pair of whisks like weapons, none can know what's truly real anymore... but he slammed the handles down and gave the camera an intense stare.]

A'right, punks, listen up!

Y'got a little over a week before Valentine's Day, and a lotta you might not have any ideas on what to give people, and people are counting on you, damn it! It ain't just dragon gods and shit-talking green cloud bastards out there, y'know!

[He set his jaw and smirked.]

I'm here to help you guys out in gettin' better at talkin' to each other! Friday, this Friday, I got space set aside in the Curti Center to teach anybody n' everybody - that includes you guys who just got picked up from the Dream Width earlier today - how to make chocolates! White truffles, milk truffles, dark truffles... hell, we'll make some cookies, too.

Don't worry about materials or things to box or bag 'em in. I got you covered in all that. Just bring yourselves to the cafeteria, 'bout 2 after lunch gets out.

[He balled a fist.] Now let's make some cute shit and make some friends, damn it!

[This stage is familiar, but the decor is the beginning of a passionate spring, roses of red and white gabbled with bits of pink tucked in here and there. The statues are dressed in crowns of bright flowers, and the little cherubs are extra polished today to really stand out.

The music is, in short, appropriate thanks to the in-house band. Orchestral sweeps are joined by the petite horned woman twirling into the frame wrapped in a vintage white dress decorated in hearts. She then stood at attention, clicking her t-strap heels. She wore a pair of tiny white wings on her back, and gave a prop heart-topped scepter that looked better-suited in the hands of a magical girl a twirl.]

einspine

[The feed clicks on to show a familiar (or not so familiar) skeletal face. He greets the camera with a smile and a wave, along with a big, toothy grin.]

GREETINGS, EVERYONE! I HOPE THE HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES HAVE BEEN TREATING YOU WELL. WE'VE CERTAINLY HAD OUR HANDS FULL OF LATE, BUT I SUPPOSE A LITTLE DOWNTIME EVERY NOW AND THEN ISN'T SO BAD.

REGARDLESS, I HAVE SOME VERY IMPORTANT NEWS TO SHARE! YOU SEE, DURING THE EXPLORATION AT THE CRYSTAL TEMPLE, WE UNCOVERED A CRITICAL HINT TOWARD THE OTHER GREAT EIDOLONS...

[He pauses in order to attach an image provided by Regis- namely, a map that reveals some juicy details.

To the west, the Crystal Temple, marked as the Temple of Bahamut. Where the Great McGard Library stands, the Temple of Alexander. Mad'ni Shrine, as they discovered before, holds the Temple of Phoenix, while the I.B Tower's location holds the Temple of Asura. Perhaps most intriguing is an island out in the sea, directly below where Cloud City now floats. The island itself is not upon any modern Vaikunthan maps.

He lets the image linger before returning into view.]

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE LOCATIONS FOR THE REMAINING TEMPLES! I'VE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO THE TRIUMVIRAT TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE I.B TOWER, BUT PERHAPS WE COULD ALL BAND TOGETHER TO INVESTIGATE THESE SPOTS AS WELL AS THE EVER ELUSIVE SUMMONER.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS! IN FACT, LET'S USE THIS POST TO DISCUSS AND PLAN OUR NEXT MOVE. AFTER ALL, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

[Shortly after the message goes up, Papyrus adds a text addendum:]

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! I'VE JUST GOTTEN PERMISSION FROM THE TRIUMVIRAT TO EXPLORE THE AREA BENEATH THE MAGITEK TOWER!

THEY GAVE VERY STRICT CONDITIONS, HOWEVER: NAMELY, THAT WE NOT STEAL THEIR RESEARCH OR VENTURE INTO RESTRICTED ZONES. SO THAT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY THAT I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER!!!

[ooc: Feel free to threadjack and talk amongst yourselves, too! Papyrus will gladly respond, but this seems like the kinda thing to merit an open discussion as well.]

[It's the interior of a theater, THE theater, decked from top to bottom in shiny tinsel, balls and snowflakes. The statues have been given comfy scarves and they hold strings of fresh green garland, and the room has some sort of added sparkle one can't deny. There's a slow sweep of the chamber in all its grandeur before its placed somewhere to rest, facing an unoccupied piano upon the stage.

Until the music starts from off-camera. Hopping to have a seat atop the piano was a familiar tiefling dressed for the occasion: Little red dress with white trim, black corset belt, black boots, red satin gloves to the elbows and that feathered cap replaced wholesale for the signature red hat with a fluffy white end. With a cheeky little grin, her black tail gave a little shake, jingling the sleigh bells tied to the end with a red bow.]

'Tis the season, dears! It may be deathly cold outside and doubly deathly in just a few months, but it's oh so warm in here. Here in lovely Sparks Golsaucia, we at the Lady of Bliss have been angels all year, and have cooked up a few wonderful surprises just for you:

-Our Friday Night Burlesque has taken on a holiday flair! Come and sip on a little eggnog and enjoy some song, dance, and a few little winks and nudges. Tuck the kiddies to bed and swing on by on any old Friday night through December~

-On Saturdays the 8th and the 22nd, we have a wonderful tale of the Nutcracker, grand for audiences of all ages! Enjoy a tale of magic, music, and sweets!

-On Saturdays the 15th and 29th, our very own Adrien Agreste- with hair and heart of gold- will be heading a magnificent Holiday Concerto. Let his music fill you with just that extra cup of cheer!

Ahh, but that's only what's new! The Lady of Bliss would be happy to provide a platform for all you singers, dancers, musicians, and comedians alike! Why, if you've got a story burning at your heart and you wish to make it known, then here's the place to do it!

For instance, our very own Kuja is working on an upcoming tragedy in three acts! All you performers and would-be stars out there are invited to come and audition for all roles from the 3rd to the 9th. That's two whole days from now! Warm up your vocal cords and all those dancing muscles, and come show us what you're made of. What's it about? Ohh, but that's telling. Dear Kuja would be happy to fill you in when you come to audition. Don't be shy!

Now, carry on with your weekends, your naughty or nice deeds! Don't let me hold you. Shoo!

[She made a shooing motion, grinned, and cut the feed.]

Hey guys.

[Tidus's apartment looks even more cramped than usual. Looks like someone went overboard on his recent shopping trip. He greets the camera with a tired wave.]

So...maybe it's not my place to go poking around into everybody's business, but I'm getting the feeling that things are kind of a bummer lately. We've lost a lot of friends and family. And I know I didn't really know them, or most of you, that well, but I had some ideas to help with that? Maybe?

First idea: laugh about some ridiculous stuff they did. Helps if you do it with a friend, so they can make fun of your goofy face. Or maybe that's just a me thing? Anyway, laughing helps.

Second: It's okay to be sad for a while. Maybe you have to ignore it for a bit if there's something really important you need to focus on, but it's okay to take your time.

And finally, you could always kick a ball really hard. Hey, I've got plenty?

strawberryredgrave

Dante, this is stupid, even for you.

Just hold the slate for me, alright? It's important.

(The video feed opens up with a familiar zora and his moogle coming to the end of their bickering and finally focusing on the zora himself. He greets his viewers with a fistpump and a proud grin.)

Hey! For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Dante. For everyone who does, then...hey! You guys probably know me from the Curti Center or a slew of adventures across Vaikuntha. Things have been pretty busy lately, huh? Can't say I know more about it than any of you, but something's been bothering me lately. Might be more of a personal thing or one too many shifts at the center. Can't say. Anyway, here's the deal.

(The zora gestures for his moogle to focus the video feed down at the table before him, looking over a diorama of a city the length of the table. On one end is a tower, another a small office with a statue of a man who looks mildly familiar.)

So in these dreams, this is me. Crazy, right? Still don't wear a shirt, but I can respect that. I'm just chillin' and doin' my thing when BAM!

(A small collection of scary reaper looking dudes is dropped into the office, surrounding the red coated man.)

All these guys start swarming the place! I'm taking hits like a champ and dealing it right back to 'em. And it's real stylish and smooth.

(Cue a few moments of a fully grown man playing with dolls over a broadcast. It clearly looks a lot cooler in his head.)

So I deal with these guys, right? And it's happening 'til I get all the way here, when I gotta deal with this guy!

(Improvised noises of a large creature dropping in is paired with a matching figurine of a ice-based three headed dog standing in the man's way.)

So we fight and, of course, I win, and some pretty other cool stuff happens that I can't remember right now. See, it's a weird situation right now that I can't really piece together, but I got an idea that might help with that. Hear me out here:

The Monster Arena

I'm thinking if I deal with some of these creeps myself, it might help paint a clearer picture in my head. A real hands-on experience, you know? Course, I'mma need a little help to get through it, so anyone's itching to fight some of these guys or do me a favor, I'm open for business. I'm cooking for anyone who joins in, don't you worry.

beariot

So.

This may seem like a strange question to ask, and it may have even been asked before, but I'm personally curious

Did you have magic in your home worlds? What form did it take?

I'm still getting used to how different things are here. The very idea of ignoring leylines and being able to use magic most anywhere in the world still kind of baffles me. Where I come from, if you're too far from a leyline or a Sorcerer Stone, you're out of luck if you want to tap into any mana, personal or otherwise. I mean, there were exceptions to this, but on a global scale like it is here? It's taken some getting used to.

defenestraighttomyheart

Hi. I'm Richard Conway, if you haven't seen my public ID. I sometimes do detective stuff.

I, in fact, did some detective stuff a while ago with a few associates. Reno, Kuja, if you're there, well. Thanks for your help, but the situation seems terribly unresolved. Typically, I don't name names, but I hardly see the point in hiding it for this matter.

We were commissioned around Halloween to go find out what was going wrong with this house that the client had bought not too long ago. Bottles of wine missing, chills in the air. That sort of thing. I was guessing this was a matter of kids getting in, drinking all of my client's wine, scaring her, and moving all of her stuff and exploiting superstition. After talking her down, my associates and I checked out the downstairs area and found a wall that looked like it was recently bricked over.

After tearing it down, we found a skeletal corpse of a moogle in a jester outfit, surrounded in wine bottles. Turns out ghost stories aren't just fiction in Vaikuntha. The victim seemed to have been killed multiple times over. If it wasn't the fact that he was bricked over and thus suffocated, there was evidence of a stab wound. If it wasn't the stab wound, it would have been the traces of marlbaro sap that laced the inside of the wine bottle.

Usually, my job is to either get myself stuck into a corporate battle of egos or to find lost pets and junk. I'm a tad out of my element when it comes down to magical murder cases.

I think a good place to start is to try to figure out who owned the house before the current inhabitant, dig through real estate logs and maybe talk to the mayor to see if I can't find the history of the place. Any other ideas?

[It’s a sunny, cheerful morning when Azusa greets the network with a smile.]

Ufufu~. Some work was suddenly called off, so surprisingly I’m free for an entire week. There’s no ghosts, no exploration, and no kidnappings for me to deal with.

[She pauses, blinks.]

My, when was the last time I was able to do so much? I’m not even sure what to do with my break...and to think, I was so happy to get time off that I just started talking to everyone without a clear direction in mind.

[Ara, ara.]

Ah, I know~. I still should earn some money this week, right? I’m well-respected in the Astrologian’s guild these days, and they’ve been teaching me all sorts of ways to tell accurate fortunes. Would anyone be interested in that? I can tell you all about how lucky you’ll be in love, or your future in romance, or what the stars say about your crush...or other things. Or you can just stop by to have tea and cake with me in between clients. How does that sound?

[She places her hand to her cheek.]

Please tell me you’ll come visit me~.

[ooc; Because of all the player plots, this takes place sometime after the second and sometime before the third and fourth one, but the laws of time and space might be bent a little. It's okay, we'll be flexible.]

bladeofconquest

[Hey everyone have a video of Corrin looking somewhat perplexed at the screen; her Moogle Anya is floating silently behind her, judging you all, and finding you lacking.]

Um...did I do it? Is it the..."video" function on? [She taps the screen, then turns to Anya.] Did I do it right? [Anya turns her head to regard her. Silence.] ...Right. Good talk. [She turns back to the screen, stares at it intently for a moment, then decides she probably did it right. She clears her throat.]

Ah, anyway. Hello! My name is Corrin. [Pause; awkward wave.] Good day, everyone. I haven't exactly been here long, but I just found out from Mr. Biggs and Mr. Wedge that they've picked up something matching my...signature? Out in the Dream Width. Something that apparently belongs to me! I have a few hopes about what it might be, but I still need to go reclaim it. They offered to take me out there, but they said if there were any other pilots who have their own airships and might be willing to help me, that would work too. I thought it might be a good chance to get to know some fellow off-worlders, so I was wondering if anyone was interested?

Thank you all for your time. Please let me know if you'd be willing to help me out, I would be most appreciative.

[Pause. Another awkward wave. Then she reaches over and seems to fiddle with her iMog for a moment.] Okay, so I think it was...this? No...oh wait, I think maybe it was-[video ends]

chosennobody

just wondering is there anyone else new here who doesn't have a moogle helper? everyone i've met has one but i never got 1 and it's been a while now. will i get 1? is it late for some reason?

[Note: Roxas has a moogle. She doesn't let him see her.]

zanarkandian

[Tidus is out by the water on the Curti Center island, as he usually is. There's a sunglasses-wearing moogle, Zunne, sunning on the beach behind him. But for anyone who knows Tidus, it might seem more odd that his eyes, usually bright blue, are now red.]

Hey guys, me again. I hope everybody's doing okay after that trip---and if you've run into any chocobo eaters, rest up. They're really tough!

Anyway, I've just been thinking. Does something about this place seem off to anyone else? I don't really know how to explain it, I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help but wonder why we're really here. It's just...I see these little things everywhere that are familiar, but they aren't? And I have to wonder if something big's lurking out there that we should know about?

Maybe I'm just homesick. Or hungry, that could be it.

[Distantly, from the Moogle's direction: 'How astute.' Tidus mumbles and ducks his head.]

All right, he's right. That's enough. If anybody's still up for blitz practice, I'll see you tomorrow!

fatefulprincess

[ Well Corrin seems in pretty decent spirits, all things considering. NO, she hasn't heard anything about her other siblings. Or friends. At least two of them are here and that's a start. Also this world tour thing? Definitely good for Corrin. She's pretty excited to be traveling to see all these places. ]

So... Jobs! At least we're not going to be completely powerless here after all. It's a little comforting. I didn't really want to sit around and not contribute in some way.

[ Since she's had enough of being cooped up and unable to leave. ]

I've met a few people here already and they've been great. And all these Jobs look interesting. That's why I'm curious. What Job to you think you're going to go with?
