You wake up in Eorzea... What is your next step?

[RitsukoSonoda]

Step 1. Get ahold of a Fantasia potion so I don't have to be a boring hooman anymore...
Step 2. Pray to the Twelve that I don't have an exceptionally strong connection to the Echo that will result in me being pushed by people into being the Warrior of Light.
Step 3. Likely get labeled one of the most dangerous people in the world due to the inevitable mishaps that will result in my experiments as I pursue things for my own curiosity...

[Ayuhra]

I'd look for Aymeric. Don't worry about why.

[Johaandr]

Deny to Join Scions and create an alter universe

[Comrade_uri]

Go to the adventurers guild, attune to the city States aetherite, sign up to gladiators guild.

[BaconBits]

Get swindled out of money and/ or the clothes on my back and left for dead by either pirates or bandits depending on whether I wake up in La Noscea or Thanalan. If I wake up in Coerthas, then I'll probably die from the frigid cold.

The only places I can see myself surviving is if I wake up in Yanxia and help the village with odd jobs since I don't know the first thing about tending to farmlands, or I could go to the Ruby Sea and join the Confederacy. Gyr Albania, I could try to make a living as a salt miner or join the Resistance.

Gridania's an absolute last resort considering the blatant xenophobia towards outsiders as well as the elementals possibly deciding to yeet me out of their forest as soon as possible. The conjurers don't exactly have much of a choice when it comes to listening to the elementals due to the constant threat of Greenwrath. If it means facing certain death or tossing me out on my ass and denying me any services, I already know what they're choosing.

[tymora]

Find my character and ask her for help.

[MagicAura]

Find my character and observe one of two things:

a) Given that my character's mind was me behind the scenes all this time, she is sitting there like a mindless doll waiting to be taken over. In that case I pull an Ascian trick and take her over and live as her from that point onward.

b) Since her possession by me has now ended, she has her full faculties and mind. First, I beg for her forgiveness as it would be never my intent to take over someone willingly. Provided she forgives me and doesn't kill me on the spot, we sit and drink tea while discussing the illusionary concept of free will and the limits of our perception. In the end, I pledge my support to her and beg her to take me as her apprentice on anything she might want to teach me. We end up falling in love and roam the lands together helping people in need and kicking villains in the butt, happily ever after.
