letter + voice

[Early in the morning, almost as if it were timed, every single Native OC who was at the dinner last month and every Outworlder receives a similar physical packet. In it is, written in neat handwriting, a letter placed atop two different manila folders.]

Hey.

Most of you have never heard from me, but of those who have seen Futaba's notes on what we know so far, you may recognize my name. I am Takeshi Nakagawa, an Outworlder like most of you who receive this. Previously, I was a Hero of Light.

By now you've likely heard of the tale of Crystallis and how the journey ended for four of us. I was not one of them, but I witnessed their sacrifice along with countless others. It is because of their deeds that we are all here this day, for if they did not, all worlds and all universes would have been wiped out by a threat that posed to consume and assimilate them unto themselves and into an existence that doesn't know life or death.

I do not share this with the intention of scaring anyone, but to inform you all of what has been hinted at and danced around. What we may face in the coming months may well hinge on what we know.

As a promise for the future: I intend to keep sharing these words gathered here to every person who shows up in the Dream Width. 'Cuz those who turn their backs on the past risk history repeating itself.

I will post something on the network shortly after everyone should be receiving this. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me there or mail them to me physically. For those who arrive in the coming waves, you can always reach me via the contacts list if my name has not been grayed out.

We need to be prepared, and face whatever comes our way head-on.

Also, as some of this concerns a certain problem, do not share this with anyone outside our number until the world leaders agree to go public about it.

- Takeshi Nakagawa


[Said manila folders of information are labeled Crystallis' Status Report (outdated, obviously) and Addendum: the World of Ruins and the Aftermath. About three hours after the characters receive this, a post on the linkshell shows up. The voice is tired, likely from having worked on assisting with custom jobs all day. Yet his voice remains crystal clear:]

Hey. If you're not completely distracted by working on these custom jobs, you've likely seen the letters I've sent most of you by now. Ran out of paper while working on one for the Center employees. If not, take the time to read them before responding to this. For those who have: I expect you all have questions after the letter I sent. If I can, I'll try to answer them.

For those who don't know me, I'm Takeshi.

02 ♫ Text - United We Stand

[Finally finished with her moping, Selphie decides that in light of their invitation to the new empire, she wants to have a discussion with the entire group. She's hesitant about posting to the linkshell but this is definitely something she's put a great deal of thought into and hopes that her idea is one that everyone get can behind.]


Hey Everyone,

I've been thinking about these invitations that we've all received to go to Sen Devadatta for their upcoming festival.

It's really weird how all of a sudden they decided to open up their borders and let outsiders in and well, I don't really like this idea. Something seriously stinks about this whole thing, but we still need to go. There's still a lot about this world that we don't know and maybe meeting with this Empire might shed some light on the mysteries that we've all encountered.

With that in mind though, I think that we should pick some representatives from the group to speak on everyone's behalf. It would be beneficial to not only put an organized front together when we meet the Empress but to also show that we're capable of fully cooperating with each other. Not everyone is going to get along with the other and that's okay as long as we all share the same common goal.

We'll probably also need some people to take down information so that we can share it with those who decide not to come.

So let me know what you all think!

Moving Out

[The following is a message sent to everyone by Papashan, Nanamo's moogle.]

Greetings everyone who have arrived. Her Grace, the Sultana of Ul'dah Nanamo Ul Namo has formerly requested for all of you to attend her housewarming party. On the coming of the month when we are forced to vacate the premises, she has obtained a medium sized home in Sparks Glosaucia through hard work. Those who wish to share a room there for work purposes may request to live with her.

On that note, I wish to hold a surprise bbq for her at the turn of the 17th of this month, weather providing at the old Environs in the housing district. Please bring your own drink, food will be provided. Cooks are especially coaxed for this time.

Please RSVP as soon as possible.

Yours Truly,
Papashan on Behest of her Grace.

The people at the Curti Center said I needed a job to earn currency if I wanted to live in a city and not have to catch my own food. That... well, it's not a thing we do back home -- we-whales, not we-all people. Usually we just hunt as we swim, and pursue whatever our vocations are, and no one worries about having a fixed patch of ocean for one's self. I have some friends who are human, but they were considered too young to have jobs, so I only heard about what their parents did.

I'm working as a tour guide in Ka'pandol. Do you have any advice, if you've had a job?

[ Despite an... enlightening? conversation with a coworker, Sylvarie still found herself wanting more perspectives on a topic that had been increasingly nagging at her.

To ask those from different parts of Vaikuntha was one thing, but what of asking those who were from different worlds altogether? Maybe one could at least provide some sense of peace. ]


I understand everyone is still settling in to life here, trying to discover for themselves how our world works. But the truth of the matter is, those who have been recovered from the Dream Width have made their own contributions to Vaikuntha as well, with their technology, cultures and customs. molding our way of life over many generations.

With that in mind, I would like to ask what it means to be an 'adult' in your worlds, what responsibilities come with being deemed as such? Does it involve a rite of passage, or is a person merely proclaimed as such once they are of a certain age? Even here what a person may or may not do differs drastically depending on which country you are in.

... And would those adult responsibilities mean going to a chocobo festival is out of the question and childish?

[Text] [Open] || What Is Your Home Like

[ The post by Monika is open and public. None of the conversations here are private, therefore threadjacking is possible and encouraged. ]

Hey everyone!

The trip around Vaikuntha has made me realize we barely know anything about what everyone's homes are like, don't we? It's important to learn more about this world if we're to live here, but it's even more important to get to know each others if we're going to live here together. I think we could learn a lot by sharing neat details about what our homeworlds are like.

I come from a planet called Earth. We have no magic or magitek, no jobs or monsters between cities. Most of these things belong to the realm of fantasy and imagination where I come from. It is what the people of my world excel at, creating stories and imaginary worlds with words and images for people to enjoy. We have technology kinda like what they have in Oktavia, but not as advanced.

But anyway, that's it for my homeworld. If you'd like to share what your world is like, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks for reading,
Monika
