Hey Jade!

Sooooo...

I don't suppose that a gal could ask a favour by any chance? Just a teeny tiny one and I promise to pay you back so...

Write back! ASAP. This is a life or death situation complete with a distinct lack of glitter this go around?

Everyone:

Now that all the celebrations and whatnot are out of the way, we can return to focusing on the saving the world business. From the looks of it, there's not much time until the entire world is overtaken by the Calamity. That means we have to come up with a strategy now.

I spoke to Biggs last week, and he mentioned an upcoming meeting with world leaders on the 25th to discuss what our plans to save this and other worlds will be. Not that all of you have to go to that one, but I'd rather our group be prepared and have a solid opinion to bring.

Therefore, I suggest we bring back the old tradition of holding a meeting in the Old Observatory this month, possibly on the 13th. There's been a lot we've discovered the past few months, and if there's something that must be shared with the group, bring it there. And if you're a new arrival, all the better as your questions will be answered there.

I expect to see everyone there. Even if you'll be in another city without a return flight, remember that I do have a personal airship. There's no time to be lazy when the fate of the world's in danger.

Oh, and if you're the sort to cook or set up the meeting room, please please please respond.


[Ales kind of wishes he knew how to host a large group. He's no Zelda.]

This might be our last chance to get together before the final stretch.

Okay, so.

I was going to write this letter as a grovelling letter. It's Christmas, I see that no one's going to try to get those shiny new jobs that are being offered and I got thinking "Hey, this'll be a great Christmas present!" But, I don't have any money! So, I tried to ask Santa and he said "no", that I had to ask you guys for help because I can't pay him back. I mean, it's, like, four million gil! And we can do this, right?

And I started writing... or rather, I started getting my Moogle to write... and then, I got thinking: why am I coming to you to ask for help? I'm probably the only person who has ever thought about doing this! Why haven't you guys decided to do this?

I mean, let's put this on simple terms here, people: it's Christmas, it's the time for giving and buying expensive gifts that you probably won't use after a month or two, but here you guys are making everyone else happy and yet, you guys would rather sit back and hope one of us can make the save? What, are you guys expecting one of those scientist guys that work in the lab to make the incredible save here? I mean, who's the closest to reaching head honcho? The dweeb with the glasses everyone makes fun of? The pony?

Come on, people, don't tell me I'm the only one making sense here! Don't tell me that you guys are all okay with hoping those two will be able to save the day so you can go and buy presents for now?!

At this point, I'm willing to make the dinosaurs extinct to get the money! If you guys aren't willing to put up the dough, I'm just going to spend the entire holiday standing outside your houses and singing the worst feel-bad Christmas song I can think of, and trust me, you do NOT want to hear my rendition of "Do They Know It's Christmas?". And I will do this until either someone kills me or you guys pony up!

[To Whom it May Concern,

Unless you happen to be Sephiroth or other individuals that Selphie knows to be particularly grumpy, you are about to receive a very colourfully decorated envelope that looks puffier and fuller than your standard mognet letter. It has also been meticulously taped shut for reasons that are purely scientific. Some people may receive a cardboard tube while others are getting the envelope.

Should everything go off without a hitch, the receiver of said tube or envelope will be greeted to an assortment of sparkly delights that will be a pain in the ass to clean out of everything. Some people will receive easier to clean up glitter while others are definitely getting the variety that will take ages to get out of everything.

Housemates in particular may realize that Selphie is up to some sort of mischief and may retaliate accordingly.

To everyone else that Selphie knows? Congratulations. You've just been glitter bombed.]

Fellow Heroes of Light.

In the aftermath of our battle with Palitutu, questions have arisen as to how we will face the Emperor. Some amongst us are following what lead we have on the Calamity, others are trying save what can be saved or find what clues those before left for us. However, Garland's defeat will mean nothing if the Calamity is allowed to devour all worlds.

We have been told countless time victory is impossible, yet evidently this hasn't deterred us-- If anything all attempts to discourage us have only served to renforce our convictions, our belief in an eventual victory. And whilst I do share this belief, time is running short.

But nothing is set in stone. Thus my question: what are your plans to deal with the Calamity?

Dear Selphie,

You don't know me, as we haven't officially met face to face. But I had to write and tell you that your performance yesterday was fantastic! What a funny and inspiring story about the mighty adventures of the Chocoboman. I was actually hoping to write a more light-hearted song, and when I heard your tale, I knew that would make the perfect subject.

I'm working on the lyrics right now, but the melody is strong in my mind. Drop by the saloon some time when I'm working so you can hear it! And thank you again, it was a very entertaining story. Maybe you should consider being a bard yourself!

Sincerely,
Rialynn K.

Who: All Heroes of Light
When: September 4

Urgent: Does anyone know the previous Heroes of Light Nebilim or Igor?

Less urgent: Since the city didn't get attacked this year, I have got a wonderful crop of watermelons freshly picked. I think last year's fire might have helped out this year's harvest? Isn't that some metaphor for our situation?

Anyway. I'll try to get them out to everybody, but anyone who wants one, come on by the house. At least give me some warning first, though. Half the moogles coming through here aren't here for me. It seems somebody held a little party while I was gone, it looks like half of Mognet was in my kitchen.

Somebody is also pretty grounded right now.

-Ryoji Kaji

Cloud:

Interesting that, in the end, it was your suggestion that won the day. Palitutu is alive, comatose, and under guard. Gonna ask me again why people keep looking to you for leadership?

What are your plans next month?

To My Friends and Allies,

This is just a reminder that the training school is always open to those who wish to take combat lessons and train against others. You can be a beginner or a veteran, as classes are designed for people with multiple experience levels. The class I teach deals specifically with swordsmanship, but I've done my best to hire instructors well-versed in multiple weapons and abilities.

That being said, with the continued encroachment of the Calamity, I may be required to assist other cities with evacuation, as well as offering my services as they are needed to the people of this world. Should you have need of me, you have but to ask. I will not be charging any kind of fee for my help, so do not fear if you believe money is an issue.

Monday I would like to venture out and obtain a chocobo. The last attempt did not yield any fruitful results, I'm afraid, but now that I'm attempting to master the job of a Chocobo Knight, it's not a task I can put off any longer. If you wish to accompany me and seek a chocobo of your own, I would welcome your presence.

May the light you hold continue to shine for the rest of our days. Godspeed.

Signed,
Chrom

ADDENDUM

Dear Heroes,

We have received a reply from the Tarutarus of Trano Golsaucia. They are asking for our help to save their region from the Calamity, and I can see no reason why we should not give it to them. As far as I have been made aware, their city is in the most danger at the moment, and it has been estimated that they have perhaps a month left.

Should any of you still hold a Sapphire Crystal in your possession, I humbly ask that it be used for this purpose. I should also mention that they did offer a monetary reward, but I don't know if it would be right to accept as it may cause others to believe that we prioritized their salvation for the sake of greed.

Sincerely,
Chrom

What do you do to pass the time? Not all of it can be spent working toward the cause of snuffing the Calamity. (Can it?) Things are little more quiet now that some of the kids have succumbed to the Crystal Stasis phenomenon.

Hello,

I’m looking to acquire a Magitek Armor. New or used- as long as it’s functional and in good working condition. Preferably with ice elemental equipment but that can be discussed. Can discuss prices or I can provide additional work on side-jobs if needed.

If you have one available, please let me know.

Thank you,
Squall Leonhart

[Squall would rather not steal one from the Empire, so he puts this out as a way to gauge if he can get one without having to do so. Purchasing from O’aka for his exuberant price is out of the question for Squall at this time.]

RE: War

The content of this letter isn’t for everyone. Pretty sure the concerned parties will recognize themselves soon enough.

We got a report from what’s happened on the 03rd. I don’t know if you’re Heroes of Light. I know even less what Heroes of Light are supposed to be. But that’s not important. You’re people and you’re fighting in a war, whatever your reasons are. That’s what matters.

War isn’t pretty. People die. Sometimes people we care about, sometimes people we couldn’t give any less of a damn for. Some of you get it. Some of you don’t. On the 03rd, a great number of people we don’t care about died. We don’t even know their names; they’re only numbers on a list. You’ve had a chance to prevent more of these people from dying, but to do that you would have had to kill one of your own. Of course, you prioritized her safety and more of these nameless people did die.

I don’t care what you believe in, how things work back in your home world or whatnot. You’re not going to save anyone with poetry and flowers. If you can’t or aren’t willing to fight and kill when necessary, don’t get in the way of those who can do it. You’re being only a hindrance and nobody will applaud you for standing by some stupid moral standards.

Short version: if killing is too much for you, then stay home and wait for the Calamity to destroy the world.

Biggs

[Selphie had felt the pain of Zelda's death and the people that could have explained it weren't handy or in a talking mood. Instead, the perky brunette is left to hear from word of mouth of the death of a Hero of Light and thought long and hard about what she could do to help. As Cuppa Kupo has fallen into her hands, this seemed like a logical step for her to take.]

To Everybody,

I... don't really know what to say right now. This doesn't feel right, or fair and I know it's gonna be hard for everyone involved.

That said, if anyone wants a safe place to sit and think for a bit, Cuppa Kupo is open to you. I learned that a cup of tea and a person who's willing to listen can help more than any other action. Please know that you don't have to suffer alone.

Anyone is welcome and you're not alone.

Dear Friends and Allies,

I know we have difficulty collecting and sharing information, given the number and variety of tasks we are faced with. I thought perhaps we might discuss where things stand, as time seems to be running out far more quickly than initially believed in the Sage's vision. What crystals we have available to us, which regions we are protecting, these are all things we should be well aware of, as well as plans for what to do next.

In addition, a few months go I picked up a key fragment from the owner of the Monster Arena. He does not seem to know of any use for this, but if there are other fragments that the rest of you possess, we might be able to complete the key. (It very well may be just junk, but I have yet to see junk offered as a reward for a difficult monster quest.) I do not know what it is for. The Floating Ruins, maybe? Have we attempted to gain access to this place? It may be worth our while if we can figure out how to unlock it.

In any case, if you have anything unusual in your possession that you think might be of some use, I urge you to tell the others. We may be holding important clues in our hands, and simply be unaware.

Sincerely,
Rukia Kuchiki

Hiya,

It's been awhile but I wanted to announce that I have mastered all ten of the jobs in my crystal. Sadly, that seems to be where the cap is. It's still pretty cool though.

The good news? I'm even more awesome!

The bad news? None!

Anyway, I want to test out some of these combination things and see how much I can really do. So I'm up for adventures or questions about my awesomeness. If these adventures involve crystals that's even better! Hit me up! I have a few places in mind. More so before the Calamity does it's Calamity thing and you know...

To all Heroes of Light,

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help, I'm pleased to let you know the cure for our pesky virus is just about done going through its final testing phase. The vaccine should be ready to be administered at the hospital within the next few days.

I should emphasize that even those of you without apparent symptoms should take the cure. You may still be carriers and we wouldn't want this incident repeating when the next new Heroes arrive, would we?

To Everybody,

So it looks like a lot of people are going monster hunting to help make everybody else feel a lot better. Well... I've never faced off against one myself, but Cactuars can be nasty little buggers. Here's what I know from my classes back at Garden:

(before you all ask, Garden is a military style academy that trains mercenaries. So no, I'm not particularly well-versed in botany.)

[To the side of her notes, Selphie draws a picture of Cactuar.]

1. They're quick little shit heads so they're super hard to hit and I think you can slow them down with grey magic (magic that affects your status)
2. They're also pretty tough.
3. They're likely to run away if cornered.
4. Beware of their 1000 Needle Attack. Unless you enjoy looking like a living, breathing porcupine. I've only ever seen videos of it but it looks pretty lethal.

Don't ask me how you're gonna get that sap though. Like I said, I've never seen one before much less fought one so don't take everything I say as fact! Regardless, make sure you have a healer with you in case you get whacked by those needles. Be careful!!!

To all Heroes of Light,

I'm sure most of you are by now aware of the unusual illness that has been going around over the past week. Thanks to the help I've received from a number of you, I have some important information to share.

It seems the virus started spreading about a week ago from the Behemoth that was recently given to the Monster Arena. However, it's not a type that is normally carried by Behemoths, or by any other monsters for that matter. More tellingly, the virus only infects Heroes of Light -- though it might be more accurate to say it infects our Crystals. I won't bore you with the technical details, but based on its structure I can confirm the virus is man-made and specifically engineered to be very easily transmitted.

While I'm confident I can create a cure, I will need help gathering the necessary ingredients. Most are available in Aqures Ixen, but there are three particularly important ones that are harder to get a hold of:

1) Cactuar sap. Cactuar Island is your best bet here.

2) An extraction from a very rare toad that can only be found in Aerilon. The toad can change its genetic properties very quickly to avoid predators, so be wary.

3) A chip from three Hero Crystals: one red, one blue, one clear. The last one I can provide myself, so I need two volunteers with red and blue Crystals to visit the lab for the procedure. Do not try to break off a chip yourself if you value your existence.

To my knowledge, there have been no cases with severe symptoms yet. I wouldn't count on this state of matters to continue. Whoever targeted us wouldn't have gone through all this trouble just to bother us with mild inconvenience. With that in mind, I ask anyone willing to look for the ingredients to do so at the earliest opportunity.

Sincerely,
Jade Curtiss

[OOC: There's a log for getting the special ingredients here. Anyone can take part and the threads are not modded, so go wild! Duplicates of the same ingredient are fine.]

 To whomever might be reading this, 

My name is Miles Edgeworth and I am a district attorney from Los Angeles. I apologize for this strange method of communication but my cellphone is missing and I have lost my cellphone and there seems to be no way to access any other sensible form of communication, unfortunately. To be frank, I would be surprised if this bizarre talking robot bear actually has any effect, 

I arrived in this bizarre place several hours ago and must make my way back to Los Angeles post-haste. Unfortunately, none of the locals seem to be of any use, as they keep telling me the same bizarre nonsense about me being some sort of magical chosen one and appear to think that I am intellectually incompetent enough to believe it. 

There must be someone out here with a tiny amount of common sense. Therefore, if you are somebody who fits that description, could you please tell me the best way to contact the Los Angeles police department so I can get in touch with my detective and make my way home. You have my gratitude. 

Yours sincerely, 

Miles Edgeworth.
