FINAL FANTASY: XIII. (The RP.).

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

All right everyone! today we begin the RP!! i'll start off :], ahem:

 

Across the World, at all of its known settlements was a message being spread, by the man named "Taison Moore", saying "My fellow subjects, rejoice! for today, the Fal'Cie have chosen yet again a L'Cie, now the Thirteenth, destined to lead us all into prosperity that is the next World after this one, rejoice!! my fellow people, rejoice!!! for soon, very soon....the start of the "Reimaging" will begin." said Taison whilst people all over the World started to exactly, as he put it, rejoice at the words of a new L'Cie having been born and will go on to create a whole brand new World for them through the journey that is called the Reimaging.

 

(This song plays, as the news by Taison is spread out practically everywhere-https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=As6Bv1e68hE.).

<Why do I have a bad feeling about this "Reimaging" thing?>

"Frog legs taste of flannel!" Dagnet exclaimed as he heard Taison's call.

Several people jumped from his sudden voice then jumped again when they saw the owner was a muscled, 7 foot giant.

<Yeah, not helpful. Go look at something shiny for a bit while I think about this, okay?>

Dagnet stared at the people around him for a moment, then turned and lumbered back the way he had come.

Deep within the Ymir Forest, in a village named Heimdall, the message given by a man named "Taison Moore" arrived.
A red haired woman was running towards one of the biggest buildings in the whole village.

"Milady! Milady Aura! I bring news! The Fal'Cie has chosen a new L'Cie" the woman said once inside.

In the middle of the room was a black haired girl playing an instrument, having her eyes closed, deep in meditation.
"So the next L'Cie has been chosen. The new Light that will bring about the old World's destruction and replace it with the new one. Thank you Kooru, you can return to your chores." said the girl to the red haired woman.
A couple of minutes later, the young girl stopped playing the instrument, putting her hands together to pray.

Oh Heavenly Etro, deliver unto us the promised salvation
  In the Impending Days, restore the lost faith to the disbelievers
  Guide the hands of the lost shepherds, wandering ages long
  Bestow the forgotten knowledge upon the faithful and devout
  Cast aside the evil and impure in Your Heavenly flames
  Restore to us Your Love and endless Wisdom
Oh Heavenly Etro, we pray You protect and help the faithless
  To lead them back into Your embrace
Ever are we Your faithful servants
Rest in peace, Divine Etro

"Well, isn't this just lovely," Iona said, receiving the news of the Reimaging. She knew she should be happy, but she just couldn't. The Reimaging was supposed to be a beautiful event, but Iona just couldn't be happy about it. Iona sighed heavily, and lifted her staff. She spun it once, it's familiarity comforting. Iona walked back towards the village without saying anther word, just thinking on what would happen next.

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

"....Do they....do they have to announce it like that?" said the young Adam towards an adult cloaked in what looks like a L'Cie robe from Final Fantasy XIII, as he lastly replies to Adam saying the words "When your older, you will understand, young Adam, trust us, the Reimaging requires the upmost support of the people and without it, it is doomed to fail entirely." said the man whilst Adam merely listened on, showing a displeased look upon his face, as both he and the man could be seen sitting in what looks like a governor's office.

[Arya Stark 1,337]

(Could you give us a little direction please?)

[Elrandir 783]

After praying, Aura ordered for every citizen of Heimdall to gather in the main courtyard for an announcement. After nearly 30 minutes, every women, and the few men, were waiting for the announcement of their Queen."Dear citizens of Heimdall! It has come to my attention that at last, the Thirteenth L'Cie has been chosen. That means that the Reimaging is going to happen sooner or later"Most of the women, and the few men, looked at each other, some with worried looks, others happy by the news, and others not showing their emotions."I understand that this should be a moment to rejoice for every village and city around Terra Crystallinus! So for the rest of the day, each and every one of you can rest from your chores, spend your time with your families and celebrate the moment!"With a loud shout, the citizens began to leave to their respective homes to, as Taison Moore put it, rejoice and celebrate the coming of the Reimaging. Aura on the other side went back to her meditation room. Once inside, she sat seiza-style near her musical instrument and began to play it once again."With the noise of the celebrations and the cries of the souls" Aura let out a small sigh. "This is going to be another sleepless night for me" the black haired girl said in a tired tone.

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

(First, have all of your Characters express their reactions to the news in their respective home towns please :].).

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

"Velvet peals of destruction!" Dagnet exclaimed as he walked out of the town he had been in, gesturing wildly as he spoke.

<You got the destruction part right. Can't make an...egg dish...with out breaking some eggs.>

"Omelettes of chaos!" The large man yelled.

<I'm pretty sure it's omelets, but whatever. If this is right, then we've got some prophecy completion time. Which means, there are going to be others.>

"Rip out their entrails and make socks!" Dagnet added, again gesturing wildly.

A peddler traveling in the other direction as the giant l'Cie gave him a wide birth and started to move faster one out of his peripheral vison.

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

Speaking across monitors everywhere was Moore once again, saying the words "Citizens, the Reimaging shall commence by the end of tomorrow's dusk, as it has been proclaimed by the Fal'Cie Ultima, until then, please, let us welcome our saviours with all do respect and grace." said Moore upon revealing the existence of the Fal'Cie Ultima within the story.

[Elrandir 783]

Although in a deep state of meditation, Aura managed to listen to Moore's new message."How strange that the Reimaging began so soon,but who am I to judge the decisions of those above a mere human like myself"Aura suddenly stopped playing her musical instrument, the guqin, and went to the nearest window in the room. Outside, the citizens of Heimdall were having a huge party in commemoration of the Reimaging."While I am glad that everyone, or at least I think it is everyone, is happy for the news...I can't help but to feel a little depressed." the young oracle let out a small sigh and reasumed her current activity. "I do not know if it is because I feel so far away from my people and their happiness....or because the Souls are crying louder than any other day"Aura kept looking as the whole village of Heimdall celebrated the beginning of the Reimaging.

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

"You should not petty yourself with the scum that are the meager class." said a both strange and mysterious man, lurking from within the shadows near to the side a little away from Aura, as he seemed to know her.

[Elrandir 783]

Without stopping looking outside, Aura offered a response to the newcomer."I think you misunderstood my words, I do care for them for I am their leader." the young girl said in a somewhat sad tone. "But my "gifts" do not allow me to fully enjoy their happiness, because I can only listen to the laments of the Souls that are no longer on the world of the living"Aura looked at the mysterious man with a questioning look."Now, care to tell me the reason you are here? I don't think you only came to have a little chat with me, right?"

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

"Heh, I guess you know me too well, lady Aura." said the man before giving off towards Aura a flirty evil grin.

[Elrandir 783]

Aura began to feel somewhat annoyed by the attitude of the man."Then tell me, what is the reason you are here? It is true that I cannot take part of the festivities, but this is my private Meditation room for a reason" she said in a serious tone. "Tell me what you want, or else get out of the room, I rather have silence than company"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

<Okay, stop at that sign.>

Dagnet glared at the thing with letters coming towards him. Or maybe he was going towards it. Details like that didn't interest him. As far as he was concerned, the thing with letters could just pass on by.

<hey, stop. Stop. Stop! Stop!>

"Fresh gigaplots!" Dagnet yelled as way of defiance, and continued walking.

<Don't make me stop you like I did back in Depal. You don't want that, do you?>

The large l'Cie growled then stopped.

<Now, turn our head.>

Dagnet huffed a moment, then turned to look at the sign.

<Hmm. Heimdall's close. We didn't go rampaging through there, did we?>

"A wolf in clown's trousers!" Dagnet answered.

<Yeah, what ever. Just start going towards there, will ya?>

Dagnet let out a burst of laughter, then started lumbering towards Heimdall.

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

Walking through town, could be seen Adam, pondering to himself "Sigh....I don't know WHY people have such high hopes for me, im just a little kid! seriously, why was I chosen to be a L'Cie!? it just doesn't make any sense!?!?" said Adam to himself whilst ruffing through his hair with both hands, as he wondered upon the fact of why of all people was he chosen to be the 13th L'Cie that would take part within the Reimaging.

[Elrandir 783]

After waiting for a response of the mysterious man Aura huffed in annoyance."Apparently I will not get an answer from you, right? Sadly I have other matters to attend to."Aura looked through the window towards the Silva Deae, or Ymir Forest as the rest Terra Crystallinus called it, she could feel that an outsider was coming to Heimdall, a rather powerful stranger, perhaps another L'Cie."Do not touch anything or else I will have your life in exchange" the young Oracle turned to the man and bowed slightly. "Please, excuse me."With those words Aura left the Meditation room and her home and walked towards the village's gates."There is so much happiness coming from everyone" was Aura's thought while watching the rest of the villagers celebrating. Some with their mates, others with friends, family or alone, everyone was in such a happy mood, everyone but her. "What would I give to..." she shook her head. "Doesn't matter. I must know my place."Once at the gates Aura took a last look at the festivities that were behind her."Better let them have their fun while I go meet this stranger, I do not want to ruin their happiness"The Oracle said in a somewhat sad tone, she then went into the Silva Deae in search of the outsider.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Dagnet stood at the edge of the Ymir Forest, looking up at the trees.

"Sinister broccoli!" He yelled. "Waiting to devour the ungainly!"

<*Sigh* We've been through this. Those are trees and the don't attack people. *pause* okay, there was that battle in Gonga a couple of hundred years ago, but that's the exception to the rul- *pause* fine, there was also those unthinking adventurers who angered a fae, but that was clearly a one time...crap, trees are dangerous.>

"May the vegetable pyramid squash these freaks with the force of a pea shooter!" Dagnet cursed, then turned and started walking the other way.

<Whoa, wait a sec, there. We still need to go in there. We can't just leave a place unsearched because you are chicken.>[/]

The hulking l'Cie stopped mid-step. His whole body seemed to bristle.

"AM NOT FOWL!!!!!" He bellowed, causing birds to take flight over head.

<Prove it. Go into the woods.>

Dagnet spun around and marched into the woods.

[Elrandir 783]

While walking through the Silva Deae, Aura managed to hear someone yelling in the distance."Impressive...I managed to hear that despite the distance"The Oracle nodded to herself and reasumed her walking."It's faint, but I can feel it, this stranger is a L'Cie"Slowly making her way towards the source of the noise, Aura felt a source of powerful Cristal Energy."I never felt something like this before, the person who owns this Crystal Energy is really powerful"Moving through the trees at a silent, yet quick speed, the young Oracle got closer to the source of the noise. Instead of getting more close, she decided to climb into a tree and wait in the shadows for the one who emitted such a powerful energy source."Better safe than sorry I suppose."The girl said while closing her eyes, relaxing her body and breathing slowly to hide her presence to the one who was wandering through the Silva Deae. Aura moved her hand towards the side of her head, removing her hair to reveal a slightly pointed ear."Remain calm and listen to your surroundings. Wait for the right time, and if deemed necessary...incapacitate the target in a single strike"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Dagnet went stomping through the Ymir Forest, keeping an eye on the untrustworthy, possibly homocidel trees. He would be thinking that he hated it when the voice in his head manipulated him like this, but what little thinking space that the inner voice had staked out as his own, Dagnet now used to make sure the trees didn't try anything.

"Shrubberies!!" He yelled, taunting the trees.

<They won't respond. *Pause* I hope.>

[Elrandir 783]

Aura was getting tired, not physically tired, but rather sleepy, a side effect of one of her "Gifts""How many days has it been since the last day I managed to sleep?" she asked to herself. "How curious...I can't remember""Shrubberies!!" came a taunting yell between the trees.Now fully awake and with a quick movement, Aura took out her gunblade, ready to fight if necessary."That was quick, I wonder who is coming, it's not a common thing we get visitors in Heimdall." the Oracle thought, slightly annoyed. "Anyways, I need to-"And then she saw it. An almost 7 feet tall, muscled...man? was coming in her way."What in the name of Etro is that?" she muttered. "I need to be careful with this....whatever this thing is"While still in hiding, Aura was jumping from tree to tree, trying to get a closer look at the giant outsider.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Dagnet stomped through the forest, his wild eyes under his mask moving all around to keep the world in general in his vision.

<Okay, maybe you were right. This place probably doesn't have anything were are looking for. Maybe we can try to sneak into one of the bigger cities. They've got to have->

"MARCO!" Dagnet bellowed, drawing the large ax off his back.

Once out, he smacked the ground beside him rhythmical a few times before hefting it to his shoulder.

<What? What is it? Did you see something?>

"Marco!" He yelled again, looking up into the trees.

There was something there.

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

A curtain of Night was then spread over by a Fal'Cie Named Lumen, as the Days and Nights of the World were controlled by it, duss revealing that the World did not really have any Daytime and Night-Time.

[Elrandir 783]

Aura came to a sudden stop, remaining still behind the tree."I was careless, I ruined the chance of a surprise attack" the Oracle thought while looking at the sky. "Now the only way is direct confrontation. Lumen had a bad timing to change from Day to Night"Aura stepped out of her hiding place, jumping down the tree, gunblade in hand. Once on the ground the young Oracle let her presence be known to the tall outsider."Greetings" she said in a calm tone. "What business does an Outsider have in the Village of Heimdall?"The young girl was looking at the muscled man, reading his body language."As the leader of the people of Heimdall I can't allow you to go any further until I know your reasons. If deemed untrustworthy you will not be allowed to leave and you will be annihilated on the spot."Aura had her gaze focused on the giant in front of her while her ears were trying to pick any other source of noise, after all, there was the possibility that the giant was not alone.
