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.

Happy Holidays everyone! ♪

I’d like to cordially invite all of you to Cuppa Kupo’s first annual holiday party! ♥ Selphie and I were talking, and with both the starlight celebration and Christmas coming up, she felt like it was a good idea to do something festive. We’ll be closing down the restaurant for an evening, and everyone’s welcome to come party. ♪ Right now, we’re thinking of having it on the 23rd, if nothing changes.

There’s plenty of things to take care of for the party, so we’ll also be asking for volunteers! ♪ I know the heroes of light are very helpful ♥, so we shouldn’t have any shortage of people signing up. We’re asking for people to help set up, run games, and bring extra food.

Oh! And it’s not Halloween, but to help everyone get into the spirit, we’re making this into a costume party, too! ♪ I can’t wait to see everyone’s best Santa and elf costumes! If you don’t have one, don’t worry, the cafe has a few extras. ♥

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there! ♥

[The following letter arrives on pale blue stationery, elegantly written by a decidedly feminine hand. It doesn't appear familiar...]

Dear Heroes of Light,

I write to you from the contaminated city of Trano Golsaucia. As most of you are no doubt aware, the threat of powerful monsters is especially prevalent in this area, and they will not be daunted by city walls. The Tarutarus who live here will not be persuaded to leave their home in spite of the danger, nor do I believe they should have to. As Heroes who possess the skills and courage to fight these monsters, I would expect at least five of you to come to the city immediately and drive off the current threat. Needless to say I will be assisting you in these efforts.

In the meantime, the rest of you would do well to search for a Diamond Crystal in order to decontaminate this area from Narayana's vile influence. Security details made specifically to fight monsters is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the root of the problem. These people deserve a safe place to live. Please make your way here promptly so that we may begin our work.

Sincerely Yours,
Princess Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear

[OOC: Who is this bossy new hero? Who knows. You might ask the Moogle delivering the letters, who will cheerfully answer any rudimentary questions, just like he answered Natalia's barrage of questions over the past couple of days...which might explain why she knows about Narayana and crystals. Natalia might need someone to go get her since there aren't any airships available. A prompt for this will go up on the intro log!]

Letter to All Heroes

Allies, I regret I must make a request. It troubles me that I cannot do this alone, but I am in need of the Death ability -- or, more precisely, another Hero who possesses the skill. Please respond with haste. You will be compensated for your aid.

Letter to Levi

Levi,

You have proven yourself most competent, both on the battlefield and in the smithy. I find myself wanting the help of a seasoned Alchemist, and I would be honored to work with you again.

-- Albel


Letter to Jade

Jade,

I realize that our duties both here and in Esdham leave us little time to pursue individual projects. And I know we have not always seen eye to eye... though, I must admit, I have agreed with your decisions most of the time, however distrustful the others may have been. That aside, I must ask -- you have possessed the Alchemist job at some time or other, correct?

-- Albel

Hiya,

I know stuff has sucked lately but the Calamity is still moving and there might be clues being stolen each day. There are so many fronts to fight on.

If anyone wants to explore these places let me know. We need a group of people we trust.

We'll watch each others back.

Hey hey hey!

It's Selphie here and it seems that the powers that be like making me a Red Mage. So learning magic isn't a big deal and I've got the experience to handle weapons and all but I have a problem!

I don't know how to use a sword. There seemed to be some golden rule about not letting me have one where I came from but I'd really like to know how to use one. I guess I could always fight hand-to-hand but if anyone is willing to teach a gal how to use a sword properly so I don't accidentally topple into people and send swords flying through the air to attack a defenseless tree...

Well...

Let me know!

[ This letter comes in a purple envelope, sealed with the crest of the royal family of Aqures Ixen. ]

You know, the people root for you. They really, really like you and think you'll save the world. Not just the people in Aqures Ixen, but to a lesser extent in Trano and Balicea too, and probably a bit in other cities as well. They truly believe you're all a bunch of heroes out to save the world. Even children look up to you. And that's great! I'm rooting for you too, in my own way.

But then, you've got the morons. People named, I don't know, Deadpool or Reno, maybe? That kind of morons, who think cheating in an official election is the best thing to do. I actually like Merlose and think she's deserved her victory. But then, we've got people over here who asked, did she win because she's competent or because the Heroes of Light rigged the election?

And suddenly, you're no longer heroes in the eyes of the people, you're just another bunch of crooks in a rotted world. Now, Wedge is pleading for you and that accident probably won't have lasting consequences. Merlose won by quite a margin so I doubt what these two idiots did changed much anyway. You may have a few Moogles side-eying you for awhile though.

And don't think just because you're called Heroes of Light, we'll think of you as Heroes regardless of what you do. If you start acting like criminals, the people will think of you as such. I know most of you know better, so keep an eye on those who would compromise your reputation.

[ On Christmas day, and out of the good will of his heart, Yuri sent Repede and Acrisius on a delivery spree, giving his closer friends and others, gifts or ridiculous trolling letter. All those receiving them will be seeing a trotting dog with a pipe in his mouth along with a Santa Hat that Yuri made him wear. He doesn't look the least bit amused with the outfit.

The moogle unfortunately, was dressed head to toe like an elf. The notes were written rather nicely too in some sort of fancy paper her made Acrisius hunt for. Merry Christmas, people~ ]

To All Heroes of Light:

From everything I've seen and heard, Christmas and the Starlight Celebration sound really nice, but I have a question.

I don't want to put a damper on things, but I can't help but wonder why we need a special day or event in order to let friends know just how much they mean to us. Shouldn't that be something that's done all year round? Because you never know what can happen, right?


[ Such a cheery thought...sort of. ]

My apologies if this offends or depresses anyone.

~Sheena Fujibayashi


[ A note soon appears at the bottom. ]

Could someone please take Sheena out to do something? She's been doing nothing but work at the Library and stay home since Zelos went into stasis, and I think getting out will help--especially since yesterday was her birthday--but she won't listen to me.

~Corrine.


[ ooc: As Corrine said, Sheena's depressed that Zelos is gone and isn't really getting out and enjoying the season. If you'd like to "kidnap" the ninja at anytime from work or home, just shoot me a PM, since we all know how well plurk works at times. ]

Residents of Crystallis,

Or would you prefer "Heroes of Light" as you're so carelessly named? This letter is not written as means to forward the overzealous need to celebrate a holiday only a few have sentiments for.

If we all share the same goal in resisting The Calamity, then I would be happy to oblige. This unified movement is imperfect, however, as not even Crystallis' divided nations can seem to agree to disagree and work together in spite of different values. I'm writing this letter because it would benefit us more to focus on the challenge at hand instead of celebrating festivities. The odds are unfavorable, but not yet deemed impossible.

The sooner we deal with this threat, the sooner we can return. Who here shares similar beliefs?

[ This letter comes in a black envelope. ]

Fellow Heroes of Light.

In my time spent here, it has become apparent to me that our future is grim. I have heard of the past cycles and of what happened before my arrival. Palitutu manipulating all of us to achieve her goals, Garland's ambition to have the cycle begin anew and the idea offered by Kalki to become the Calamity so as to create a new world.

Yet, I have seen none of you giving in to despair. At the contrary. In spite of all the hardships and trials you have faced, I have seen more hope and happiness among you than I have among the people in my homeworld. As a physician specialized in psychology, I find this fascinating.

Thus my question: how do you envision the ending to this story? Do you agree with the ideals pursued by the aforementioned people, or do you believe there is an alternative to their designs?

[This letter is sent along with a small package on Tuesday evening. What's inside? A Santa hat and a couple of bells, a sprig of pine, and a bundle of mistletoe.]

Season's Greetings!

I am writing to you from the Santa Village. Yuki and I boarded an ocean ship this morning so we could get a look at the village for ourselves. Work has only just begun, so I regret that there isn't much here at the moment, but there is certainly a great deal of promise. I'm certain your Moogle companions have already told you of what they hope the place becomes and how we can help. I would encourage you to do so. Even if there is much work to be completed, the village has an aura of peace and good will. I would like to ask those in charge if we might use it, and expand upon it, as a place of refuge should we be able to evacuate those who are currently threatened by the expansion of the Calamity. I do not know if my suggestion will be taken under consideration, but this is my hope.

In the meantime, I believe I will transfer my belongings here for the month and stay at the inn, possibly a house if I am able as I would like access to a kitchen. As I will be assisting with appearances as 'Mrs. Clause,' I believe the role would be greatly strengthened if I were able to bake seasonal cookies and treats. If you have any recipes, please send them to me. I would be exceptionally grateful, and the sooner I can practice, the quicker I can produce satisfactory results.

Please consider doing what you are able for this cause as well. Knowing what's coming, I believe that spreading joy and peace to the denizens of this world will help to strengthen and unite them. I hope to see you here soon, even if only for a couple of days. Whatever you can contribute would be greatly welcomed.

Sincerely,
~Rukia Kuchiki (Temporary Mrs. Clause)

A letter goes out on Monday, posted in several spots around the center of the city for all to see.

To Those Brave Enough, To Those Who Do Not Fear Death, To Those With a Thirst For Adventure,

An expedition is set to leave the harbor closest to the city within the day. Preparations, supplies, and all manner of readiness is currently underway as the Mugiwara Crew, piloting the vessel known famously as the Chasing Joy, will be embarking on a search for the mysterious vessel that has recently been seen sailing through nearby waters.

The Mugiwara Crew is currently allowing those who feel both courageous and bold, who have a strong sense of will and a sturdy pair of sea legs, to set sail and confirm the superstitions of this ghastly ship as either fact or fiction.

If you feel that you meet the above qualifications, please meet at the docks by 5:00 PM this afternoon. We'll set sail during the evening once final preparations and crew have been introduced and set on board the ship. We shall sail for a short time, no more than a few days to a week at most.

Be advised: There may not BE a return voyage, depending on how successful we are in our venture. The danger is real, and not to be taken lightly.

Any questions, concerns, opinions, and the like, can be brought to the attention of our Captain, Monkey D. Luffy. Please meet with his moogle, Pakku, at the pier. He will be wearing a bright red bandana around his head. The Chasing Joy is easy to spot. Look for the large Behemeoth head at the bow of the ship.

Deepest regards,
Pakku, Monkey D. Luffy, and the Mugiwara Crew

[Everyone gets at least a letter telling them to be careful around spirits. She worries for you. To her friends, they get a little bit extra. Ramza and Graham both get brief apologies, requesting a raincheck for their dates until the ghost matter has been cleared up.]

Friends,

I am departing for Esdham early Saturday morning to take the tests required to join the military. I will be unable to return until Saturday night, or even Sunday morning. Until then, I cannot sufficiently stress the importance of what I must say regarding this sudden surge of spiritual activity: Do not engage any of these spirits alone. If you have the means necessary to deal with them, then you may certainly do so. But if not, I beg you not to engage a single one. I am sorry for the brevity of this letter; my ship departs in an hour. In my absence, I hope that you will all be safe.

So I've noticed throughout the past week, ghosts have been popping up more often. There are some though that are are admittedly obnoxious or harmful and dangerous, and yet we can't judge all of them-- Many were people once, don't want to hurt anyone, and need help. Plenty the kind who had regrets and can't move on to rest in peace; but it doesn't have to be that way.

The thing is, we're able, as people who are still alive, to assist in reaching that peace. It's not always an easy task. Some have been content with having someone listen to them, and others have more detailed requests I've had to leave off and wonder about how to go about accomplishing.

But I'd like to ask the other Heroes to once again, as they're inclined, to take that word in our fancy titles and put it to work. There's only so much one person can do, so I'm asking.

You can check out the quest board if you have the time and are interested, I've listed some that I'm not currently working on. I can't offer a solid award in mind (and I think priorities here would be a bit... misplaced given the context) but they themselves are fairly likely to have something to offer you.

Thanks.
And sorry if this comes across as preachy. Basically put: They're good ghosts. Let's do something.

[ So Yuri decided it was would be great to throw his fellow teammate up for well, work! ]

To All,

Man, I'm not good at writing this but here's a heads up.

There's an old man that goes by Raven, he belongs to Brave Vesperia so if you find him somewhere, return him to Brave Vesperia, alive.

Being Brave Vesperia's property means he's got to do work around here, so if you folks have some heavy lifting and stuff that you can't do on your own, give him a message and he'll come flying. Especially you're a pretty lady.

[ Yuri scratches out the last line pretty badly so people could see it but whatever. ]

Oh, wasn't suppose to write that.

[ Seriously, he's just fucking around now. ]

That's all I got for a public announcement. See you on the flip side, Old Man.

P.S. Make sure you do a good job alright?

--Yuri Lowell.

Okay!

So I've been in Aqures Ixen for a few weeks now and I've seen my first ever Fire Crystal. We don't have them where we're from so it's a new thing for me... Well... I guess a lot of things in Aqures Ixen are new for me.

Frankie is new to me as well but he's my pal and if anybody gives him any trouble or picks on him in any way, you'll be hearing from me. If you have an extra one lying around, give him a kupo nut and a kind word, that's all I ask.

So I'm a Red Mage by trade in this world and... I'm actually looking for a specific weapon type or I have to find someone who can teach me how to use a sword.

So... nunchaku or swords.

Or... directions to a weapon shop because the makeshift set I made while locked up in that research facility kinda bit the big one.

Overall, if you've encountered this message, congratulations on encountering Frankie, faithful friend of Selphie.

PS: Bonus points if there happens to be a train or two in this world because they are way more awesome than airships.
