#and the connection with sol (her chocobo) as well

[lavampira]

the name of alia’s carbuncle is helios — something about the name calls to her, some sort of instinctual pull to it that she can’t describe even if she wanted, but it seems right for her little glimmery topaz being of aether. and after she learns of astraea and concepts and familiars, a part of her wonders if it’s somehow lingered across lifetimes that she can’t remember and transferred to this one in a connection between soul and aetheric companion, even if she isn’t the same. she doesn’t know if she’ll ever get the answer, but it doesn’t really matter anyway at this point, having found a semblance of purpose and peace with the legacy left to her.

[terraxcloud]

I was looking at cutscene videos to get images. It's still a bit too early to talk about Aerith/Zack stuff so I'll stay with Yuffie for now. There's an Aerith sidequest in Costa Del Sol called "Rendezvous in Costa Del Sol" where three girls make Aerith and Cloud go on a date for "inspiration".

Well, first off, I immediately noticed this.

Also may be tied to that moment where Cloud tells Yuffie to fish the Weapon for its materia, I guess (that was at the Corel reactor).

This sidequest is basically "what Cloud prefers in a date". It gives weirdly cryptic hints...

Rebirth has multiple Aerith & Cloud "dates" where all they do is realize how bad they go together (sorry, I didn't make the game). To summarize Aerith & Cloud's dialog towards each other in this one though:

Cloud's wants a simple date where he...just walks (on rooftops?).

He wants to get paid for this "job" rather than see it as a date.

He's not romantic (kinda, sorta mentioned in Yuffie's date, but what in the world happened in Tifa's date?).

He wants swimwear that allows him to fight underwater.

I think the three girls in this sidequest represent Aerith, Tifa, and Yuffie. I think the red-haired girl is Aerith, the blonde is Tifa, and the black haired one is Yuffie.

I guess the hints above show that. Tifa has a notable stare, Aerith has a connection with Red XIII, and Yuffie is all about the "make Cloud smile" bit.

That's all fine an dandy, but the reality is that The chocobo girl has a moogle on her shorts and the chocobo is full of 5-petaled flowers. It's also her's is the only one where Cloud fights anything.

The moogle on her shorts is probably being used the same way as that 2nd Crisis Core wagon that connects the dialog Zack has about his shared dream with Aerith to Dissidia.

Ironically, I thought the three hints they gave fit Yuffie more than the others (I've gone through the entire game, so maybe I know too much). There's two whole protorelic quests that star Cloud-Yuffie-Red XIII and Yuffie actually treats him like a dog. Also, Yuffie stares at Cloud a lot, so who's to say she's not blowing it out of the water here?

Also, all of Cloud's hints fit Yuffie, the one who wants to get paid in materia, who only cares about fighting, who "sucks at feelings", she walks on rooftops, etc. The epic conclusion of the FF7R trilogy is Yuffie? Decades of love triangle debates were very useful in finding this out.

Maybe Cloud is just not his real self yet to know what he wants, although he's supposed to get motion-sickness when he reaches that point...and there's only one other character with motion-sickness.

At the end the girls "hint" at who they represent. The red haired one mentions love (Aerith's thing), I think the blonde one is hinting at Barret with the shooting stuff (I guess that's their way at hinting Tifa), and the black haired one is above saying stuff Yuffie actually says.

This is only one sidequest tho`.

No, this one didn't have anything about Terra herself, sorry.

Requested by anon: Hi!! I'd like to request a ficlet of Cloud and female reader spending a day at the beach in Costa del Sol, I'd love to see Cloud's reaction to seeing her in a bikini and maybe trying to cover her up or protect her from other guys' stares! They could even go swimming or play games together! And then maybe they could go to the Gold Saucer and try the gondola ride or other attractions? I can see Cloud trying to win her a teddy bear but refusing to admit he did it for her haha ;) // Ooh I have another idea, what about Cloud and reader doing a run in the Chocobos? Like maybe Cloud could teach her how to ride a Chocobo, or they could ride one together and maybe fall to the ground together hehe ;) thank you for considering my requests, hopefully any of them will inspire you and I hope you feel better soon 

A/N: I struggled a bit with this one for some reason, it’s a bit messy and quick paced, but I think it turned out pretty cute and fluffy! Enjoy :D

You knocked on the bathroom door, where Cloud was getting changed. After getting no response, you knocked again, growing impatient. How long did it take to put on some swim trunks? You couldn’t wait to go to the beach!

“Cloud!” You whined, also excited to see your boyfriend in a swimsuit. “Are you done?”

The door suddenly opened, and he stood there looking at you. His hands fell on his hips and he nodded his head in your direction.

“Ready” You had to chuckle at his words, because he still wore his tank top and carried his sword. The only change in his attire was the swimming shorts, he even wore his boots.

“You’re unbelievable” You walked behind him. “Taking a sword to the beach?”

“Just in case-” When he noticed you were trying to pick it up, he jolted up. “Careful!”

You yelped when you felt overwhelmed by the weight. Luckily, Cloud moved fast enough to support you before you could fall over. He put the weapon away, eaving it against the wall, and turned back to you again.

His eyes fell over your body, to the curves hinted under your sarong, but just for a moment as he blushed and quickly looked up into your eyes again. Sometimes he was adorable. Now that you were dating, you didn’t expect him to be as shy as usual, but he hadn’t changed.

Trying to save him the embarrassment, you picked up the bag where you kept everything you could need -towels, sunscreen, cool beverages... -and threw it over your shoulder. Before you could take even one step carrying it, however, Cloud took it from you to save you the effort. He didn’t say a word, but the gesture endeared you even more to him.

“Come on!” You held his hand, dragging him out of the room with you. “The beach is waiting for us!”

You started running, excited to finally reach it. Surprisingly, Cloud played into your game and began jogging by your side, not letting go of your hand either. Soon the salty scent of the sea reached you, and you smiled to yourself. Luckily, the beach wasn’t too far, because you were already panting from the dash.

Once you reached the sand, you didn’t lose one second. While Cloud took his shirt off and lay the towels down, you got rid of your sarong and flip flops and watched the soothing sight of the waves calmly crashing on the shore.

“Cloud” You turned to him, slightly bashful as you tried not to stare at his bare chest. “Wanna go for a swim?”

“Maybe later” His eyes didn’t meet you, too busy focused on the people around you.

Following his gaze, you realized what had him so upset. Certain people had no problem in taking a good look at you in your swimsuit. It made you self-conscious but you didn’t really mind. You weren’t the only one they were looking at anyway. Turning back to your boyfriend to allow yourself to really take in his slim but strong physique, you understood why.

Suddenly, he pulled you flat against him. Bracing yourself, your hands instinctively flew to his stomach. You could feel his defined abs against your palm, causing you to blush. But he didn’t notice, tightly wrapping his arms around you to hide your exposed skin.

“Cloud?” You peered up at him, finally locking eyes.

“They’re staring” He replied, frowning as his blue eyes fell over you. “Should’ve brought my sword”

“You don’t think people stare at you too, handsome?” You giggled, amused by his pout. “Let them look, you’re the only one who can get close”

He paused for a moment, but then sighed and loosened his grip on you.

“You’re right, sorry... I just got-”

“Jealous?” 

“You’re making this real hard on me, Y/N...”

You laughed a little, and repressed the urge to pinch his cheek. You had been teasing him enough already and you didn’t want to make him uncomfortable. Instead, you pointed a thumb over your shoulder. 

“I’ll just go to the water for a bit” As you took a few steps back, Cloud nodded his head and sat down on the towel. “You’re welcome to join me whenever you want”

“Got it” Was his dry response, despite the fact that his eyes never left you.

You walked slowly, feeling the drastic shift between the hot sun kissed sand and the fresh ocean water under your toes. You feet settled on the solid wet sand under them as the water softly went up and down with the tide, circling your ankles and then retreating once more. 

Walking further once you were a bit accustomed to the lower temperature, the water now reached up to your knees. A wave returned to the shore, making you stumble with its force. Turning to Cloud and smiling to yourself in pure enjoyment of the moment, you saw he was still looking at you.

You energetically waved at him. Seemingly annoyed at your playfulness, he only stared. You stuck your tongue out at him and waved again. Resigned, he waved back at you. He was always trying so hard to play it cool... Well, you were determined to enjoy every second of your holiday. 

Before you could turn around to face the horizon, however, a bigger wave came behind you, roughly crashing into you and throwing you to the ground. When you glanced at him, Cloud’s expression had changed from annoyed to worried as he ran to you. You held your head low, too amused by his exaggerated response.

“You okay?!” He urgently pulled you to your feet, his hands gentle around you, and you still struggled not to laugh. “Y/N...”

Taking your behavior the wrong way, he scooped you into his arms, concerned. Still trying to suffocate your laughter, you hid your face on his neck.

“Talk to me, are you hurt?” His words broke you completely, because how could you be actually hurt from that? It was really sweet, but also hilarious to you. He was always so dramatic.

“I’m not hurt, I’m...” 

“Are you... laughing?” Cloud let out a shaky breath, piercing eyes focused on you.

“Sorry... I’m sorry” You heard him loudly sigh as he gently carried you still.

“Don’t do that” He complained, and you could almost hear his heart still racing.

“Why, were you worried?” You looked right into his eyes and cutely tilted your head at him. “Huh, boyfriend?”

“Y/N...” His voice held a tone of vexation as he gently lowered you into the ground.

As soon as your bare feet touched the wet sand once more, you began running around him.

“Are you mad at me?”

“A little”

“Really? Watcha gonna do?”

“You’ll see”  

“You’ll have to catch me first, big boy!”

You splashed water at him, trying to finally get him to open up a bit. Knowing Cloud, he was holding himself back. You could see it in his eyes, that he wanted to have fun with you. Because he was stoic, strong, serious and hermetic. But he was also kind, sensitive, thoughtful and shy. 

“Stop it” Giving in, Cloud chased after you. Utterly astonished by this, you screamed as you ran away from him. The water around your ankles slowed you down.

When he caught up to you, Cloud took you by the hips and easily lifted you off your feet. He carried you back to the dry hot sand while you yelped and laughed at the top of your lungs. You even heard him chuckle in response to your noises.

“That’ll teach you” He said in your ear, and suddenly his voice was playful.

You laughed when he lightly squeezed your sides, effectively tickling you. You turned around to be face to face with him and pouted your bottom lip. As you expected, he yielded at the sight of your adorable expression.

“War’s over” You joked, brushing your lips against him. He immediately relaxed under your touch, giving into the brief kiss. “I win”

“You’re killing me here” Mildly embarrassed by your interactions, it was him who pouted at you know. “Why did I agree to this?”

“It was your idea!” 

“Yeah, ‘cause I know how much you wanted to go on a holiday together”

Cloud swore under hsi breat at the look of utter adoration you gave him in response to those words. He knew you well enough to realize it would only earn him more teasing. 

“You did it for me? Aw, Cloud” You put your arms around his neck and hugged him. “Don’t pout! Enjoy yourself, silly”

“Stop it with the nickames” He frowned, actually sounding upset.

For once you started to believe he was legitimaly having a bad time. Your face fell at the thought that he was mindlessly letting you drag him along but was loathing every second of it.

“Y-You don’t like them?” 

“I didn’t say...”

For a moment, you locked eyes. It was the first time since you arrived, even after your long journey, that you really connected with each other’s emotions. Cloud suddenly understood why you were so excited and eager. It wasn’t because of the holidays, or the beach, or all the new things. It was because you were sharing them with him. And you saw that he wasn’t being broody just because, he was trying to act cool as usual, but that he was truly flustered and slightly overwhelmed by everything.

“If you don’t like the beach we can go back to the hotel and-”

“It’s not that” His hand lovingly cupped your cheek. “Maybe dial it down a bit?”

You paused, taken aback by the sweetness in his voice and the amorous look in his beautiful eyes. Then you smiled and nodded your head.

“Sure” You chuckled, pressing a hand against his and reveling on his warm touch. “And you could let yourself go a bit more”

“Not happening” Cloud turned his face away, but you could see a flirtatious grin playing at the corner of his lips. He was trying, going along with your demeanor.

A sudden wave of fondness for him hit you. He could be so sweet... You could tell how much he cared, how much he loved you. And it made your heart sing.

“C’mon, grumpy! You’re allowed to have fun!” You took his hand and pulled at it. “It’s only you and me now, relax”

“Fine” He gave in, beginning to walk alongside the shore. “Only for you”

-

Cloud clicked his tongue, turning to you in defeat. You watched him in curiosity, surprised that he seemed to enjoy those little games so much. When you suggested to go to Gold Saucer, you didn’t expect it to actually become part of the plan, and you certainly didn’t expect Cloud to get so into it.

“I’ll try again” Was all he said, buying another ticket.

“Since when are you so proud, Cloud?” You teased him, nudging him a little.

He didn’t respond, focusing on his aim. However, before he threw the ball at the bottles, you noticed how his eyes kept drifting to the big teddy bear at the top of the display. 

You smiled, reading his mind and the reason behind his stubbornness. Endeared by this, you leaned closer to kiss him in the cheek. He frowned and looked at you, but you only giggled and shrugged.

“For good luck” You said as an excuse, knowing he wouldn’t admit his reasons so you wouldn’t admit yours. 

The start of a smile grew on his lips, but it never settled there as the concetration took over his features. You watched in expectation, following his every move as he prepared to throw the ball. When he did, you happilly cheered after it collided with the bottles and knocked them all down.

“Congratulations” The stand keeper reluctantly said, clearly annoyed that Cloud won. “Choose your prize”

Your boyfriend didn’t hesitate, silently pointing a finger to the teddy bear. As soon as the man gave it to him, Cloud humbly handed it to you. 

“Was that why you were so determined?” You asked, hugging the plushie, even if you knew the answer already. “So you could win me something?”

“No...” He simply replied, averting his gaze. “I knew I almost had it”

“Thanks anyway” You winked at him, which was enough to fluster him.

“Welcome” He muttered, although his voice sounded slightly deeper than usual.

“Let’s go on a ride!” You took him by the arm, clutching the teddy bear in your free one. 

You ran at top speed with him closely trailing behind you, dragged along. When you reached the entrance of the roller coaster, you were almost vibrating in excitement. The ride stopped before you on the rails, and you turned to Cloud.

“Hey...” You saw how he eyed it warily, and how his muscles tensed under your grip. “Something wrong?”

“Um...” He blinked repeatedly, then turning to glance at you. “No”

To further demonstrate, Cloud climbed in before you. Hesitating yourself, you watched him for a moment. He tightly held on to the security bar while he waited for you to get in. Knowing him as you did, it felt like he was dreading the moment the ride started.

“Everything okay, Cloud?” You slowly sat by him, placing the plushie between you two. “You look a little-”

“I’m fine” He rushed to say, even if he didn’t look at you.

You opened your mouth to reply, but never got to say anything. Just then the attraction started. Cloud gasped in anticipation, but you yelped in excitement. Still, you couldn’t hep but to glance at him with the corner of your eye. You knew better than to think he was scared of rollercoasters, it seemed unlike him. Then what was the problem?

The issue momentarily left your mind as its speed claimed your attention, making you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms into the air. To add on to the many and incredibly emotions of the day, the adrenaline began racing through your veins. The ride climb upwards, only to throw you down again even faster. It made your heart race in a way only Cloud had before. You were thrown upside down with the last loop as the path went flat again and the rocky ride came to a halt.

Still coming off that high, you stumbled out of the ride. When you turned around to share your excitement, you looked over at Cloud. You saw the state he was in and realized it was worse than you thought.

“Ugh...” He struggled to stand, and he was extremely pale.

“Are you okay, Cloud?” Worried, you rushed to hold him up. He appreciated your support, resting his arm over your shoulders and resting part of his weight on you.

“Dizzy...” He held a hand to his forehead, shutting his eyes tight.

“Let’s sit down for a moment” You wrapped your arm around his waist, walking with him towards a close by bench. He took it slow but you were patient.

As soon as you neared the bench, he plopped down on it and groaned.

“Has this happened before?” You asked him, kindly stroking his arm.

Keeping his eyes closed, Cloud weakly nodded his head. You grit your teeth, equal times endeared that he kept it silent for your sake and annoyed that he put himself through that knowing the result.

“Why didn’t you tell me something?” You gently took at his arm, easying him down until his head rested over your lap. “Lay down, Cloud, as long as you need to”

Worried and empathetic to his unwell, you softly caressed his hair. Cloud tightened an arm around his stomach, letting the other one fall limply off the side of the bench.

“No...” He uttered, making an effort. “Don’t wanna ruin your day”

“It’s not ruined as long as I’m with you” You comforted him. “Besides, it’s not fun unless you’re having fun too”

He groaned again, and you hated to see him like that. Cloud parted his lips, but he must have been feeling so sick that he didn’t manage to say anything. You took mental note of his motion sickness to avoid it in the future.

“Can you do something to make it better?”

“No... Just wait until it passes”

“Okay, just breathe and try to relax” Hoping it worked, you put your teddy bear on his chest. “Mini Cloud here will look after you too”

“Mini... Cloud?” He repeated in confusion, opening one eye.

“Yeah, because he’s soft just like you, softie” You joked, and were pleasantly surprised to see him smiling in response.

Another wave of dizziness hit him, and he groaned yet again as he closed his eyes tight. One of his arms did wrap around the plushie, though.

“There’s no rush, Cloud” As a comforting gesture, you rested your hand over his chest. “We’ll wait until you feel okay” 

Continuing to sink your fingers into his soft hair, you didn’t stop stroking it. He didn’t complain, and in fact his tense expression relaxed slightly. After a few more seconds of silence in which his spinning world settled, his free hand fell over yours.

“Thank you, Y/N” The way he said it, you knew there was something more behind his words. Something that he was saying for the first time to you, and that caused your heart to skip a beat. Three words that, although different from the traditional ones, meant the same thing.

“You too, Cloud”

Chocobo - Who is your best friend? Tell the story of how you met! for Maayan

Prompt 7: Nonagenarian

Who: Maayan Delafontaine

What: Maayan indulges a beachgoing acquaintance.

Where: Costa del Sol, La Noscea

When: During the Moonfire Faire

Content: Mention of sexuality

"'Best' seems terribly narrow, don't you think?" Maayan recrossed her legs, stretching them down the length of the beach chair. "Perhaps I will choose the one with the best story." 

She hummed, swirling her frozen drink in its colorful glass. "Zedyr, then," she pronounced after a moment.

"The less interesting version of how we met was that he was apprenticing at the goldsmiths' guild while I was engaged with the Phrontistery. We made our mutual professional acquaintance when he was sent to put in an order for a number of reagents." Her dark-painted lips quirked -- just the smallest hint of irony. 

"The more interesting version? Well, some insist I courted him, but he'll tell you I did nothing of the sort. I hounded the poor man -- for sennights on end, as I recall. We had chanced to exchange a few words about one of my projects, you see, and I had never met anyone as passionate as Zedyr is about the intersection of aesthetic and physical pleasure. He makes a near science of it, and an art as well. And he does so with a pure earnestness that has never flagged in the epoch I have known him -- save after the Calamity, of course, but what light came through that horror undimmed?" 

She waved away the uncomfortable subject. "Regardless, I grew determined to see that earnestness cultivated, that I might see its full potential. I had need of a project in which to invest certain funds, besides, and a new venture in a new city seemed just what was called for. Certainly Ul'dah was doing neither of us any good, at the time -- and besides, its market is much too saturated." Maayan smiled, small and secretive. "And thus Harvest Fountain came about -- through many, many conversations into the small bells of the morning about purpose, and approach, and the philosophy of pleasure and connection." 

She gazed steadily at her companion as she took a sip of her drink. "I can hear the gears turning in your head, you know -- wondering if talk ever became action. It did, but only ever of the business sort, never the physical. Ask him yourself -- he has fielded that question as often as I have, and he will tell you true. But will you believe it?"

I’m not looking for RP connections QUITE yet. I just wanted to do one of these for funsies!

I’ve had the name “Ersa” before I knew about the name “Erna”. So, I’d like to think one of three things happened:

The name was misheard/misspoke

Someone couldn’t read chicken scratch and mistook the “N” for a “S”

The name was changed for the “cool factor”

[katalinhunter]

Sidetracked

The sound of the water had been soft, relaxing. She had always had a fascination with streams, brooks, rivers. Sometimes it was just a soft babbling, other times the roar of a frenzied rush. Lager bodies of water were nice enough but she never felt the same connection to them. Still, the sound was nice. She was returning from Costa del Sol after meeting with a merchant there.

She had wandered the area for a while after her business was done, waiting for the ferry to return. She looked out over the water, wondering again why she was doing this. The answer was Knave of course.

Despite her rejection of the ranch, despite the anger and unease that the stench of chocobo musk brings back to her, he was still her responsibility. She had been on the outskirts of Limsa, looking around for some kind of interesting trouble, when she had heard his 'kweh.' She found the bird stumbling through someone's fields, looking exhausted and moving slowly in her direction. He should not have been there by any means - she had last seen him outside of Ul'dah. The distance he would have had to travel to reach her would've been immense, 'though he did look like he had traveled every ilm of it.

She had brought the bird back to the Rocinante, talked some with a man called Burrich as she made a stall ready for Knave and cleaned him some. The chocobo seemed to find comfort in her and be skittish of her at the same time - she had chased him off more often than she had welcomed his company, his unease was understandable.

She didn't know why he had escaped the ranch, why he insisted on following her, why he didn't just enjoy his life since he had his freedom. He just continued to follow, had even helped her out of a bad spot or two.

Burrich and she talked, the man explaining some of his plans for expanding the stables, caring for the chocobos. He seemed nice enough, competent, had given Knave a quick examination after their arrival. Had also looked to her blankly, insisting that she didn't need to take care of Knave and the stall, said he would do it. Katalin basically said she would appreciate that and continued right on with her work.

----------

All of that explains why she's here now, snoring softly as she lays against the cargo strapped in place on the lower portions of the ferry. The merchant carried several herbs and ointments that were unique to the area and she hoped that they would be helpful in Knave's recovery. These purchases had been carefully wrapped and were now serving as a passable pillow.

There had been some excitement earlier, a little bit of shouting. It was in the distance though, up on the deck, removed from her and insufficient to wake her up. The soft scraping of a foot on the wood though, the difference between the ship's creaking and the stair's, she was instantly awake.

The small room she was in was sectioned off but didn't have a proper door. No matter, she slid next to the opening, listening to the man as he approached. "Lessee here. Missus said scout the loot, she did. Missus did not say leave it, I'll just take a piece here, piece there, small things undernoticed. Missus won't miss what was never scouted."

She attacked as he came through the archway, two hard strikes, fist then palm, followed by her grabbing the miqo'te and smashing his head against the reinforced wood. Other than the initial "Gah..." and the three thuds it had been quiet and hopefully unnoticed. She considered tying him up but didn't want to waste the time. She borrowed his knife for long enough to make sure he couldn't be a threat, then dropped it on his chest.

----------

She could hear the female miqo'te long before she saw her, Twelve that woman could talk. Katalin couldn't quite make out what the Missus was going on about, just seemed unhappy with her life and was going to keep making noises until the others were equally unhappy. There were two more, pirates was probably the closest word, who were watching over their captives: a pair of male Roes who looked almost more browbeaten than the timid lot they were keeping in place.

Supposedly, that was all of them. The captain of the vessel was dead as well, but there had been two other ship officers she had found tied and gagged in the bridge. Counting the hyur she had taken out there and the man down below, that was five total. Apparently, the pirates had taken the ship with only minimal effort. If would be nice if she could take it back as easily. She had considered just swimming off and letting them have it, but she would've had to leave her shopping behind. Also, she wasn't quite sure which direction she should be swimming in.

The other two officers were supposed to arm themselves, make their way to the far side of the ship. They were waiting for her signal, probably wishing that the miqo'te would at least pause long enough to breathe.

Katalin had found a sturdy fishing gaff as she slowly made her way to the aft of the ship. Its hook was smooth with one single barb, the long shaft reinforced with steel splints. The sound of the miqo'te's own voice had covered Katalin's approach as she moved behind, maybe 10 fulm away now. The white-haired pirate was standing on a couple of crates so she could look down on the Roe as she berated them.

"One more thing! If I hear any of you call me by that stupid na... Aieeeee!" A splash followed as the gaff slammed against her and threw her overboard. That should be enough of a signal for the officers. As Katalin turned and headed back down, she could hear the Roe quickly surrendering to the pair of them. Along the side of the ship the woman was spluttering and shouting out that she couldn't swim. Katalin paused long enough to look over the edge, see her splashing ineffectively in the water as the local marine life approached.

A shrug, then continuing on to retrieve the shopping parcel. "Probably going to be late. Damn it."

Naturally curious, Kikilu enjoys hearing about the lives of others, visiting places she's never been before, and experiencing new things.

Mun Stuff:

FAQs:

Where are we likely to bump into Kiki? Lucky Sparrow (Lavender Beds, Ward 5, Plot 17): A performance troupe. Kiki usually performs there every 2nd and 4th Monday night of the month. She also spends a lot of time hanging out there at other times too. Generally, when not at events, she likes to be around Gridania or Limsa (she’s attracted to places with water especially). Costa Del Sol is somewhere she loves to be, either swimming around, or just sitting and looking out to the sea. But if you see her wandering around anywhere with the “RP” icon on, feel free to approach her.

Kugane will be another place to find her in the future, but she’s never been there ICly yet.

Does Kiki attend any regular RP events? She does! And she has a variety of different hang-outs, so I’ll list her most frequent:

Lucky Sparrow (Lavender Beds, Ward 5, Plot 17): Monthly. 2nd and 4th Mondays at 8pm EST (2nd Monday), and 6pm (4th Monday). Stellazzio Pizza (Goblet, Ward 11, Plot 27): Weekly. Wednesdays at 7pm EST. Black Cat Cafe (Goblet, Ward 11, Plot 39): Weekly. Thursdays at 6pm EST. Happy Raven Cafe (Lavender Beds, Ward 8, Plot 44): Weekly. Fridays at 7pm EST. Haven & Hearth Tavern (Goblet, Ward 9, Plot 49): Weekly. Fridays at 10pm EST. Club Crescent (Goblet, Ward 4, Plot 42): Monthly. 1st Saturday of the month at

Is Kiki single? She is, yes. However, whilst I’d love for her to find someone special, her experiences with romantic relationships so far haven’t been positive ones. Both of her previous relationships ended very suddenly, and with no indication beforehand, so it’s understandable that she thinks very little of herself, finds it difficult to trust, and has some abandonment issues. OOCly, I’m also very wary of who I consider in terms of romance with Kiki. I never wanted heartache for her, and if I had known certain things in regards to her ex’s, I wouldn’t have let them hook-up with her. I’m also keen for her future partner to be a lalafell (she’s been with a mi’qote and a lalafell so far). And she needs someone reliable, understanding, patient (especially as their relationship would take a while to build), and for the character to be either someone’s main, or very active alt. There’s no point her dating someone who’s never around.

Honestly, I would love to find someone for Kiki, but it’s not the be-all and end-all. She’s perfectly fine as a single lala.

Will you RP previously established relationships? I will, but hit me up about them first so we can go work-out the basics.

Do you have any suggestions for RP hooks? At shows as a fan, performer, or just general attendee. Kiki’s usually there even if she’s not performing herself. But please bear-in-mind that it can get a little busy on her performance nights, so she might not get to spend as much time with people as she’d like. At RP events. Kiki’s very friendly and loves meeting new people. Don’t ever be afraid to talk to her, even if she’s attending with a group of friends - she’s always got room in her heart for more!

Maybe you know her from her previous job? Kiki used to work as a chocobokeep. She was based in Bentbranch, but she travelled wherever they needed her (including the Goldsaucer). She also still visits them to catch-up with ex-workmates and pet the chocobos.

Maybe you’ve seen her / trained with her at the Bismark? Kiki trained there a while back - specifically on a bakery course. Maybe you worked there or trained there yourself?

Perhaps you even know her from around the time of The Calamity? After her village in Thanalan was destroyed, she was taken to a refugee camp in The Shroud. There were plenty of others gathered there - maybe you were too?

Mayhap you just recognise her face from all the posters? As well as performing at Lucky, Kiki’s a member of the kpop idol group, 3B (Beat Breakerz Brigade), so her face can be see hanging from walls (both inside and outside), trees, etc, of pretty much anywhere, a lot of the time (which embarrasses her greatly - just so you know ;p). Other? That’s all I can come up with for now, but feel free to get in touch about any ideas you’ve got yourselves. :D

How to get in contact: Discord at Kiki#9246 /tell ingame DM here on Tumblr Please don’t just comment on this post, because Tumblr (as much as I love it) is broken as hell.
