[Open/mingle] Alexa Play The Completionist's Theme Song

Who: The Heroes of Light
When: Post-time loops
Where: Myste Aura, particularly the hot springs
What: Mingling! Celebrating both a job well done and 100% completion of the game
Warnings/Notes: Hot spring antics, hot wing antics, potentially washtubs





Everyone knows the Heroes of Light by now. They took the world by storm over the last few days (over and over and over the last few days) and with the calamity averted and Bahamut fended off? They needed a vacation. One on a brand new day would be great; the past few became a little too predictable for anyone's taste. The solution? Celebrate a brand new day at a place they're sure to be welcomed and are least likely to be thrown out. A job well done is well and good as a hero's reward, but a person's got bills to pay and feet to get off of now and then, so the ultimate destination place was an obvious one: the Myste Aura hot springs.

The invitation's an open one and Dante's one of the first to arrive, primarily to get the cooking all set up. There's a lot of it to be done, but given the zora's amused smirk through it all, he's having a good time. It's as much for him as it is everyone else. He could only bring enough for cooking and serving, so no vacation gear here! Gotta bring your own or pick some up on the way over. Either way, it's a stress free time that everyone really needed. Oh...and the invitation insists that the heroes bring along their Calm Deity Masks for an unmentioned reason...


THE HOT SPRINGS

Without a doubt, the main attraction of this trip. The hot springs are world renowned for a reason! Take a dip into the waters and see for yourself. The bubbling warmth of the natural waters are more than enough to let weary heroes and travelers alike unwind and let their troubles melt away for a little while. Some people have actually fallen asleep while settled in these, so be careful to keep your head above water!

Waterside refreshments are also available, particularly beverages. Remember: no underage drinking!


FOOD STANDS

There is. A lot of food. Including the shawarma Dante promised! He's got a few volunteers willing to help keep things clean and organized, but a majority of it is self serve with various kinds of cuisine for all kinds of tastes! As thanks for all the shenanigans Bass puts up with, there's a separate food table for moogles and dishes incorporating kupo nuts. Appetizers, entrees, desserts, it's all here. Dante himself is manning the shawarma station and offering anyone who asks a good, hearty slice of cooked Ochu meat. Trust him, guys; it's so good, it doesn't even need a sauce.


LIVE ENTERTAINMENT

The nice thing about being this close to Myste Aura is that the Bard's Guild is nearby. Once word got around that the Heroes of Light were gonna take a vacation in their neck of the woods, a few enthusiastic volunteers were more than ready to perform as a show of thanks for all they've done. Enjoy the concert of songs, some classics, some composed in honor of the heroes themselves. Naturally, there's little to stop anyone who wants to hop on stage and perform themselves. Hell, the bards would be proud to perform alongside a hero of light! Just don't mind the spotlight you'd be under.


COLLECTIBLES

So remember the whole thing about bringing your Calm Deity Masks? Surprise! Everyone who approaches the table of bagged goodies wearing their masks receives one! Each bag has a collection of goodies inside, from toy crystals to even figurines of the heroes themselves! Were you lucky enough to get yourself or your friends? Nothing's stopping you from trading until you get the one(s) you want!

Along with each bag is a free t-shirt. They have several different sizes just in case and all of them bear a familiar logo as a reminder of the great deed the heroes accomplished.


Wildcard

We're all kicking back and relaxing, I'm not gonna tell you what to do. Have fun, go nuts and remember to clean up after yourself.

(Make toplevels! Relax! Have fun~))

To be fair, it's a lot to summarize

Tilly listens to Kuja's story, refraining from getting her own drink. It's easy to tell Kuja's talking about himself most of the time; she could joke about his arrogance, but the subject's too serious for that. He's the one Garland created to kill off a world's people so his own could survive; he did so to help put together his own revenge, an act followed by an empty victory. It's tragic, really, but with how he looks when talking about Zidane, he clearly has his regrets. Much like a certain paladin back home, Tilly didn't know Kuja during that time; only him after the fact.

Gods help her if anyone from his world shows up.

"Thinking back on the what-ifs is dangerous, but you know better than to dwell on them for too long. While I can't comment much on the angel of death you once were, I can comment on the man I've known since we were plucked out of the Dream Width. He had a lot on his mind back then and seemed concerned when I mentioned my affinity for necromancy." She's clearly teasing him when she mentions that, playfully sticking her tongue at him.

"Still, you've made friends, whether you're willing to call them such or not. You've made your own living here, you've clearly done a lot of self-reflection...and admittedly, I have been studying Opal's reactions and behavior towards you. She really likes you, you know, so if my opinion can't cut through your doubts, then maybe the dragon who knew you then and knows you now can."

"Opalescence... She doesn't hate me, or fear me, and that's possibly the strangest of all. I wasn't a kind master. Silver Dragons, they're... magical constructs. Imperfect copies of a greater Eidolon, and I never saw them as anything other than tools. I was horrible to her, and my actions killed her, and yet... she consents to bear my weight, in spite of everything else. I can't imagine why."

He sighs softly. "I suppose you... are. A friend, Matilda. It seems strange, saying that, but... not a lot of people would have risked themselves to try and drag me out of Ramaa's control."

"You're worth the risk, Kuja. Even if you disagree with the idea, I stand by it."

She smiles, considering. "And as far as Opal goes...I think it's because she understands your pain the most. From how I understand it, you paid Garland's treatment forward, but doesn't hold it against you because you were a link in the chain. Here, where you broke free of those chains, she can be her and you can be you. And the you you've become is someone she wants to stay with."

Kuja frowned. "I... I did pay it forward, didn't I? To Opalescence, and..." he freezes, eyes going wide for a moment.

Oh, dear... the princess has such a bloodthirsty little puppet.

"... I'm just like him, aren't I."
