Allen Hunter
With a glug-glug of your Potion, you are healed! HP Restored.

Selphie
"Alrighty! Going by it's attack abilities, using Thunder magic on it wouldn't go down so well~
Sorry 'bout your ocean buddies, but you attacked us! There's only two methods to madness, and that's Love and Peace, or blow them to smithereens! And guess which one you're getting!"
You let your giant nunchaku fly!

MrChearlie
You use a potion on Selphie! Selphie is cured!

Sephiroth
You whip back the hair from your face, and stare down the Seahorse. Leaping backwards, you land vertically on a mast. With a burst of energy, you leap through the air horizontally past the Seahorse. At the other side of the ship you skid to a halt, and are holding the Masamune to your side.
->5 Damage to Seahorse!

Gourd_Clae
By the time it takes for your moogle to fumble his little way over to you, receive a faithful pat on the head, Khos had already leapt past you.

Khos
Speaking of Khos, you charge your fist, jump into the air with the sun behind your back and land a grotesquely unremarkable normal attack on the seahorse.
->1 Damage to Seahorse!
Seahorse shudders and splutters! With one eye popping out of his head due to the shockwave of all these attacks, he turns red and slowly fades away!
The Seahorse is DEAD!

+75 LP!

"Hey, what's this stuff?" Gourd_Clae asks, holding up the LP Tokens.
Everyone looks puzzled.
Sephiroth steps forward, through the red dust that used to be Seahorse. "Seriously?" Taking his share of the LP, he holds one up for all your blank expressions to see. "These are License Points. You use them to buy traits and skills on your License Board."
More blank expressions as the Party looks amongst itself.
"License Board? LP?" Locke flips a LP token in the air and catches it. "Sounds pretty weird. How's it work?"
With a sigh of defeat, Sephiroth decides to explain whilst shaking his head slowly and shrugging the entire time.
"License Boards is a metaphorical board in your mind. These License Points, or "LP" will let you unlock panels on that board. Some panels cost more than others, so it helps to save up a little bit."
He wanders over to the starboard bow, and leans against the railing. "Everyone has their own personal License Board, so don't worry about someone stealing your stat increases. Sometimes you'll unlock Passive or Active Skills. These are just 'Skill Slots' that you can fill when you change your Job Class. There's also a few special slots to find, that give you extra bonuses."
"So, what, if we use LP, we'll get stronger?" asks Zeuzio, staring at hers.
"Yeah. One more thing, sometimes in your adventures, you'll find Special Panels; such as summon monsters, or limit breaks or other such things. Each Special Panels is predefined when you find it. What you do with these, is add them to your License Board so you can purchase them like any other panel. These Special Panels will be the only thing different on your board from anyone else's."
"Hold, ye lubber... All our License Boards be the same?"
"Uh, well, they have the same Panels, but the layout of the Panels are different on each board." Sephiroth breathes another sigh. "That's about it."
"This is kind of pointlessly complicated," Khos voices, but no one listens because they're busy using LP.
Stumbling forward, Storm announces, "I... remember..."
"Look, it's really easy. I shouldn't need to explain this to you," Sephiroth explains. "You pick any location on your License Board to start. Then you can buy any Panel next to a Panel you own. Got that memorized?"
The Party, previously oggling their new License Boards that probably took someone 10 hours or so to create, turn to look at Storm.
"These License Boards... They're... from where I was..." Storm holds his head, as memories flood back.


"Airships... Magicite..." Storm falls to his knees as memories pound back into place. "Palaces... Judges... Rabanastre!"
Standing up again, sweating now, Storm expresses this all to everyone around him. "Rabanastre! That's where I came from!"
"There was a bazaar, talking pig men, lizard guys, moogles---you name it! We all lived in harmony. Harmony? Is that right? No, I remember the Bangaa would hit me. Why?" Storm delved deeper into his memory. "I was... a citizen of Rabanaste..."

Sidestory, flashback you can skip.


"...it was at that time the shopkeep told me of the mine expeditions. Whilst I had no memory to work alongside, it was my quandary alone to bare. Meanwhile, it was in my best interest to earn a quick gil." Storm ended his story with a scratch on his head.
Everyone else was too busy playing with their new License Boards to notice he had even said anything.

(note: you can PM me any questions you have about License Boards, or your purchases if you don't want to bog-down our forum thread with purchases.)

ALSO
You can now find the Menu... HERE.
I was getting worried about running out of room... so the OP will now just contain the shops and a link to the menu.)

Cid
The old man pops out on to the deck. "Hey will ya keep down the racket? Alright, I've got the ship engines running, but it'll be a while until we're airborn again. I guess you'll have to steer through the water for now!" And then he popped back below deck to continue tinkering.

Yes.
