(Star Ocean 3 x King of Bandits Jing) universe

PROMPTS:

1. COFFEE DATE ‣ You’re in Surferio. It’s like Venice, only more old-school. Very green. The houses are more like huts, and they’re connected by wooden bridges. And the city’s teeming with all sort of humanoids — a Featherfolk here, a Menodix there. Watch out for the Lousyds in the water!

One of the city’s newest attractions is a cozy little café, said to serve the best pumpkin and ginger pies. And potato donuts. If you’re lucky, the chef will be in; he’s said to be terribly cute, with his trademark red bandanna and black wings. If not, his wife will surely be around, or at least one of his two charming daughters.

2. BAR BRAWL ‣ Kirlsa is a sleepy little mining town. The action’s mostly contained in the large manor in the middle of the area, which is not only the Count’s home, but also the headquarters of the Storm Brigade, Airyglyph’s cavalry division.

Tonight, though, the town’s modest tavern is abuzz with activity. The soldiers are out to party, including their more notorious cousins from the Black Brigade, the heavy cavalry unit based at the nearby Training Facility. One can expect trouble sooner or later, however; the two divisions don’t exactly get along.

3. DRAGON DANCE ‣ Congratulations! You didn’t die from what was essentially a battle with an air dragon, so now you’re a member of the Dragon Brigade, Airyglyph’s elite military force. From this point onward you and the dragon are partners — go ahead, name him/her — and you will have all sorts of adventures! Fancy a scouting mission? Go randomly exploring? Or would you like a special assignment from the King himself?

4. MAGIC SCHOOL ‣ The queens of the rival kingdoms of Airyglyph and Aquaria have launched their special joint project, the Center for Runological Studies, a magic school situated in Aquaria’s capital city of Aquios. And you are among its first batch of lucky students!

Excited? You probably will be, if you’re from Aquaria. Runology is in your blood. You probably even know a spell or two by now. Nervous? If you’re from Airyglyph, you should be. This is new territory; Glyphians are soldiers, not sorcerers. But you must have talent, if you’ve made it here?

5. PRISON BREAK ‣ You’re in a high-security military facility. A state-of-the-art, very modern prison, reserved for the most dangerous of enemies of the Pangalactic Federation. You’re one of the prisoners, or one of the guards, or one of the infiltrators — either way, whoever you are, you’re inside when the breaking out happens. Sound the alarm!

6. UNDER SIEGE ‣ The enemy is at the gates! Greeton’s invasion of Airyglyph has begun, and the mech army is now arriving at the capital. Imagine giant robots, able to shoot fire out of their arms, climbing up a fortified city built on the face of a mountain. Airyglyph’s strategic location has protected the kingdom from being invaded in the past — but not today.

The city’s in chaos. The evacuation order has been given, but most of the kingdom’s forces have been deployed to ground zero several days ago, and have been subsequently annihilated. The remaining soldiers are doing the best they can, but it looks like all is lost; even the queen seems to have accepted that, as she watches impassively from the castle balcony.

7. MYSTERIOUS EGG ‣ What’s that? An egg? Why is there a name and a crown symbol on it? You take it home, and sometime later it hatches... into some sort of animal. Is it a bird? A cat? A dog?

Even stranger, you’ll soon be able to do tricks with your new friend. Latching on to some part of your body, you can then fire balls of energy and cause explosions. Where will this new power and partnership take you?

8. INFILTRATION MISSION ‣ The mech army has one weakness: a central computer coordinating and controlling its movements. Your mission is to infiltrate the kingdom of Greeton, find the computer and shut it down. It should be fairly easy, but... your team isn’t exactly in good shape. Not just physically; you don’t all get along, either.

9. ROYAL PARTY ‣ Welcome to Quentão, a shining white palace built atop a waterfall. You don’t remember how you got here, but here you are, in a nexus of worlds. The palace is not just exquisite, it’s stunningly magical. You won’t see any servants, but the place is squeaky clean. And it seems to be able to anticipate your needs. Tired? Oh, look, there’s a chair that wasn’t there before. Hungry? Go to the lavish dining hall and food will magically appear.

Even better, there seems to be a party going on! A pretty extravagant one, too. The main hall is bustling with activity, and just outside it is a fancy fountain with strangely mesmerizing rainbow-colored water. Huh.

10. HOLY HEIST ‣ So an important ancient relic just got stolen. Or is being stolen. Either way, it’s important, and you’re definitely going to lose it at some point, because it’s being taken by no less than the Bandit King. What are you going to do? Chase after the thief? Call the cops? Break down sobbing? Offer a sacrifice to the gods and pray that they smite him?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Nita starts, both at being greeted by a stranger and at realizing that her friend has wondered off.]

Oh! Er, that makes sense, yeah.

['Lady Vita', hm? She files that name away for later.]

I'm Nita Callahan. I was... sent here.

[And quickly, quietly, she adds in the Speech:]

/I am on errantry, I think, and I greet you./

So, what is your name?

[ Sent here has Marc assuming that Nita’s a representative of one of the city-states, or maybe a daughter of one of the prominent families that have been invited to the party. It doesn’t occur to him that, like his mother, the stranger might be from another world. ]

Marc Albert. [ He gives her a little bow; he’d seen her curtsy earlier. ] Pleasure to meet you, Nita. And that’s a very nice dress, by the way. It suits you. My sister would be jealous.

[ It’s an honest compliment, and it shows. He can’t smooth-talk for the life of him. ]

[Huh; the wizardry-phrase going over her head is a clue, for her; the state of sheer positivity and care-free-ness fades a little.]

Thanks.

[And, as if on cue, parts of it start going transparent. Nothing indecent shows through, but the 'light show' still makes her jump, and blush.]

I- I'd be happy to trade, really. Who's your sister, Marc?

[ Fortunately he’s distracted by her question about his sister, so he doesn’t notice the dress going transparent in places. Chuckling, he pulls out a vintage-looking pocket watch, inside which a picture of Aquavitae’s royal family is tucked. And it’s a happy family, all playful smiles and a closeness that’s impossible to miss. ]

My sister, Kahlua Cecile. [ He points to the youngest girl in the photo, beside him, and they look like they were attempting to tickle each other just as the picture was taken. Then he moves his finger to the equally playful couple standing behind them. ] And our parents. You probably recognize them; they get out more than we do. Paris and Nausicaa. [ Most people only know them by their titles, the Cajuzinho and the Caipirinha, hence he feels the need to introduce them by name. ]

[The 'spots' of see-through continue to wander despite Nita's fidgeting, and she has to focus more on what Marc is saying anyway.]

I- think I have seen them before, yeah, but I haven't met them.

[She smiles, taking in the pictures. They're clearly a happy family - though, when was the last time Nita and Dairine ever had a tickle fight?]

How old is this picture?

Almost a year ago. Mother loves having our photos taken; it’s part of our Hyv Joulua tradition now.

[ He smiles at Nita. He still hasn’t noticed her dress being all funky. ]

Would you like to meet them?

[For which she's very much thankful!]

That- would be nice, yes.

[She bows, well aware she's probably being overly polite - but this isn't the best dress to bow or curtsy in...

Still, at least she can run in this thing.]

[ People bowing in his presence is still something Marc’s uncomfortable with, so he laughs shyly when Nita does it. ]

You... don’t really have to do that. I know everything seems so fancy here, but we’re really not into that sort of thing. [ A beat. ] Except when Mother gets into a festive mood, which she’s been recently. She really knows how to throw a party.

[ He conveniently forgets to mention that he is the reason for this party. ]

Anyway, I can give you a tour of the palace along the way. Have you been to the waterfall yet?

[Nita straightens herself with an embarrassed grin on her face. This is a girl who prefers floppy shirts in her fashion, even though she likes dressing up once in a while.]

I think I've gathered that! I don't do too much fancy, myself; it's all a bit strange.

[She glances back towards the door.]

No; just the fountain... Is it a long walk from here?

[Wait, is it indoors? Nita can't make herself discount that possibility right now.]
