Everyone,

I know it's been a while since I could have faced my Calamity self, but there was a lot on my mind for the past two months. I thought that since this is the new year, it's the perfect time to find out what I'm hiding and become a better person.

At least I hope that's how it works.

I don't want to do this alone, so if you think you'll be okay with giving me advice, don't be afraid to come.

I also got a box of T-Shirts on the 25th. They're the exact same kind we sold at my band's concerts at home. Tamekichi will hand them out right in the lab right before we get to work.

Regards,

Duster

Hello again!

It's December, and Santa Pyrrha is waiting for all of your letters.  I've worked on mastering the Job since last year, so on Christmas Day I can bring you each one present from your worlds.  After the past month of facing our Shadows, I'm sure we could all use something to smile about this holiday season.  I don't know exactly how the magic works, but I do know that I can't make it happen unless I receive a letter for Santa with a holiday wish written on it.  There are a few weeks left, so start thinking about what you'd like and I'll do my best.  And be sure to watch the sky on Christmas Eve for a sleigh pulled by a red chocobo.  That's how you'll know Santa Pyrrha is on her way!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

((OOC: Per the mods, these regains don't have to be asked for via the usual channels - as long as your character writes Pyrrha a letter, what they ask for will show up on Christmas.  It can't be anything larger than a standard suit of Magitek Armor, anything magical will show up de-powered, and small animals are fair game.  Apart from that, go wild.))

To my fellow compatriots from offworld!

I apologize for not sending a personalized missive, but the worthy Mogmi, the Moogle in service to me, informs me that it will take those at Mognet far less time to copy a single note to many than for her or I to write our own. Truly this world has its marvels!

I intend to undertake the Challenge of confronting my Shadow in two days, which I am informed is a Tuesday. I invite all interested to attend, as it may be of interest, and with luck, exciting. I will provide refreshments after.

Please respond quickly, so I know what manner of refreshment to procure.

Yours Sincerely,

Tazendra Lavode, Baroness Daavya, Finder of Penrose, Hero of Light.

Everyone,

Palitulu wants our answer, in almost exactly a month's time. What do we plan to do about the Calamity? I know our final plan is acting on a lot of fronts, but one of those fronts could be very close to completed, if I can get a little more help from you.

The Interdimensional Rift Project at the lab. I need more help, more money, even though we received an incredibly generous donation already, it isn't quite enough. I'm working on building a Rift Manipulator, as close as I can get to a duplicate of the device that I helped create back home that did exactly what we need. It'll control the energies of the Interdimensional Rift, and if anything is going to get us inside there safely, this can do it.

But why do we need to bother with the Rift in the first place? The Calamity originated from there. Depending on which reports you read, either the First Crystal is in there, or it's in the center of Crystallis. Another team should begin exploring the Crystal Tree of Life to verify which place we need to go. If this Calamity is going to be permanently stopped? Then we need to repair the damage to that Crystal. Either way, the source of the Calamity itself is within the Rift. So we need to go there to stop it.

Like I said, the final plan is going to take a lot of fronts, but the Rift is not one that we can ignore. If literally anyone can help out at the lab? If anyone has spare money to push us over the finish line to donate? I need your help if we're going to fix the core problem behind the Calamity, instead of just hitting the reset button like Garland would, and shatter our worlds to give Crystallis one more cycle.

How viable is the Lunar Gate project? It appears that we are going to lose that location soon, and if so, then I need to return to that place to retrieve some property of mine.

Sir/Madam Hero,

It is impossible to make amends for taking the life on an innocent, but that does not excuse us from doing all we can for the victims of the crimes these past month. 

I am starting a fund for the families of the Crystallian victims. Gil will not restore their lives, but hopefully, it will decrease the burden on their loved ones and make sure that the dead can be buried in peace.

You can donate as you feel lead to. Those without financial means can also donate meals to the bereaved. A roster for meals will be posted on the bulletin board and donations can be received at the bank.

I thank you for your aid.

By my own hand,
Ramza Beoulve

Keeping one for myself, and one already went to Ib. But if you're going to accept one of these, it comes with conditions. You're taking one because you actually need one, and because you're going to use it so you can use your strongest Jobs to stand with us in the defense of Aqures Ixen come August.

If I can't cut and run, neither can you.

But now that I've got everybody's attention. I need some assistance at the Observatory, if we're going to keep the place, and if the Guild of the Heroes of Light is going to continue. Her Highness Zelda was doing a lot to keep us afloat, and was coordinating with a number of the other remaining governments in the world. I was assisting her part-time, but since we lost her, and the other gentleman who was here a lot has run off (a decision I can't fault him for, honestly), I can't do this all alone. If I don't get some help here, I'm going to have to quit at the Laboratory, which is going to set back some of the research.

No experience needed, write letters, file paperwork, crunch some numbers, but if you've got some diplomatic or administrative background, you'd be welcomed. The pay's nothing, and the thanks is less than that, but at least the tea is good.

(All of the enclosed get copies of this letter, and all replies will be sent to all. Every time the moogles deliver one to Kaji, they seem to come back with Kupo Nut cookies to encourage them for all the extra work.)

If you're getting this letter, then the last time that there was a discussion about who could step up to lead the Heroes of Light if anything happened to Princess Zelda, your name came up. You are people who have exemplified what both the Princess Ashe and the Princess Zelda were trying to exemplify in leading us before. And you are people who other people have already started looking up to and listening to. You can feel free to decline, or to nominate someone else that you think is better for the job. The only person I'm gonna outright veto is Marshall Nevada. Even though he fits the exact characteristics I put up above, he's needed where he's currently at. Decide amongst yourselves, or pick somebody else, but we're getting a new leader.

And, before this discussion even gets started, I suppose I have to apologize to Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor for accusing them of murder.

We all need each other now. The first Hero of Light dying for real was what set off the division between Heroes in that vision the Sage sent us. If we want to avoid what we saw? We need to change that future now.

-Ryoji Kaji.

(One experience orb for Kaji, one for Ib, seven for sale...where is the tenth orb? In a package specifically marked for the Marshall.)

What I said to everyone goes double for you. This month would have been so much worse without your efforts. And you nearly killed yourself doing all that you could. This was the best way I could show that it was appreciated. And to let you know that we need you standing in Palitulu's way in a month's time. Specifically, you.

You're a leader, not just to the Heroes of Light, but the people of Aqures Ixen. We're all going to be looking to you when the time comes. There's not really anything you can do now to change that. So, maybe this will help you be there at your best.

Dear XXX,

I haven't been able to reach my brother Santa for the past two days. We usually talk all the time, so for him to be silent this long is more than just unusual, it's alarming. Have any of you seen him, or know where he was going? I'm getting really worried.

Aoi, if you get this, please let me know you're okay.

Sincerely,

Dear Friends,

I have many items of interest to cover, so I apologize for the length of this letter. First of all, the evacuation of Nabila went better than expected. To the five of you who dedicated your time and energy to assisting the refugees, I thank you, and the Nabilans thank you as well. Prajapati, should you receive this, we are grateful for the loan of your airships. Anyone who was willing to leave was able to do so. Unfortunately, there were a greater number than anticipated who could not be convinced. May the gods grant them rest.

Previously I had mentioned forming an expedition to the Mythril Mines. This coincides with Wedge's request to retrieve pure mythril and crystals to prepare us for whatever confrontation Palitutu intends to have with us. Tentatively we should leave sooner rather than later, so I suggest we begin tomorrow, June 7th. We should have plenty of time to gather supplies and assemble up north. Though this particular quest was assigned to Ales, Santa, and Miss Alice, others who exhibited interest are more than welcome. I will be bringing my specialty "toy bag" that will allow us to carry a great deal more than usual, so we should have plenty of ore to satisfy Wedge.

Lastly, I will be assuming responsibility for the Hero Training facility here in Aqures Ixen. I understand a very strong warrior was formerly in charge before slipping into crystal stasis. I hope I can preserve her legacy. I am primarily trained with the sword in matters of combat, but I would be happy to offer any other combat training as requested. Please contact me whenever you wish for a session. Civilians are welcome to train with us as well, if the desire is present. Knowledge of defense and combat is rarely unnecessary, particularly in a world such as this. If you would like to participate as an instructor, please notify me, and I will ensure that you are enrolled in the staff.

Your Ally,
Chrom

Everyone,

I know this is really late, but I've been sick for the past two weeks, so I couldn't think of doing this earlier, but I spoke with the old man at the Monster Arena, and he says that he'll give us some crystals in exchange for a Hamster. They were important-looking crystals, so I wondered why something so small meant so much to him.

Then he explained that they're really, really strong.

The Calamity is going to cover the entire world soon if we don't do something. If anything, getting one of those crystals would give us a lot more time to explore our options. Even if fighting a cute animal doesn't sound that dangerous, it's better safe than sorry. We'll need to work together to fight one of this things.

Whoever wants to help, please respond to this letter. Thanks.

-Duster

[Shortly after a huge wave of Heroes returned from wherever they were mysteriously transported, Duster heard news of the newest report. Compounded with what he saw on his travels, his day should have gotten worse, but one small implication stopped that: if he was here, that meant his world was safe. There was no way the Ancients would want to draw energy from a destroyed world.

That means it's in danger, but Duster feels more euphoric than upset because of that and another reason.

To everyone,

I hope you all made it back home safe and sound. I also had a long journey, but I think it's time we did something to lift our spirits. Now that we know the truth of this world, we can decide what our future will be before it's too late.

That's why I'm inviting all of the Heroes of Light to the Observatory next week for a slumber party. We'll get to know each other over food, music, and games and relax after everything that happened. Also, on my way back to Aqures Ixen, I finally got enough money to buy a double bass, so look forward to me performing for you guys!

I'm not too good at cooking lots of food, so I'll need help with that. If you have any ideas or want to help, you should tell me and we can sort this out.

See everyone there! Tonda Gossa!

-Duster

Dear Everyone,

I've been away for about a month, so I'm not sure if you guys found anything new, but I've gone back to talking to farmers about the animal kidnappers. Some of them have said that they know a person who knows a person who saw their cows get stolen. This world is gigantic, so I need your help in finding out more.

I'm going to stay near Aqures Ixen and talk to the farmers in the area, and I'll keep all of you that wanted to help out updated. We'll meet up later this month to plan a stakeout. Whether it will be a peaceful meeting or a fight, I don't know, but we have to be prepared.

Sincerely,

Duster

[OOC: The UFO Stakeout player plot is underway! You can post up a log with your characters interviewing farmers and I'll have an NPC respond to it! This will culminate in a final stakeout where we wait for the UFO.]

Dear everyone,

I came here only a few days ago, so please excuse me if I get something wrong.

But, the day I came here, I saw a mysterious flying object kidnap a Chocobo by the stables, and I was told that his has happened before, only with cows. Back home, there was group of people that took animals and combined them into chimeras, so I'm worried that these kidnappers are going to do something terrible to them. I want to stop them before it's too late.

If they're taking farm animals, we need to keep an eye on the stables and pastures. I'm planning to do a stake out and catch them in the act, then fight them off, but I can't do it alone.

So...has anyone else heard about missing animals? Or have good ideas how to get into one of those flying machines and stop those people?

Thanks,

Duster
