[http://witchesreign.dreamwidth.org/profile Here.] Characters find themselves in Balamb Garden twenty-one years after the events of [[Final Fantasy VIII]]. Thanks to the sorceress Ultimecia's attempts to make time one single moment, people from different worlds were drawn into the unnamed world of FFVIII thanks to the resulting "Time Compression."
 
As either Cadets, Instructors, or SeeDs, characters are expected to learn the rigors and rules of a top-notch mercenary organization and accordingly work with it until they can find a way back to their homeworlds. That, however, is much easier said than done.

Line 24:
* [[Food Fight]]: During the superpowers event, fuelled by Zephyr's sudden ability to generate baked goods and Kiden's sudden invisibility.
* [[Fundraiser Carnival]]: Subverted: The carnival was originally just part of homecoming, but then the Garden Festival Committee decided to give the funds to charity.
* [[Guest Fighter]]: [[DC Comics|Impulse]] holds a superhero party, attended mostly by the DC and [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] casts, but also [[Alternate Universe|Miracle]] [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya|Mikuru]], [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Pinkie Pie]], and [[DOGS Bullets and Carnage|Luki]].
** Played with when ''enemies'' from other worlds start turning up and destroying things... including [[Com Mons]] from [[Pokémon (Franchise)|Pokémon]] in the tall grass.
* [[Gym Class Hell]]: Jecht's swimming class.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: [[Sonic the Comic|Espio]] goes through one when he sees his home reality implode.
* [[High School Dance]]: Valentine's and homecoming dances are added to the graduation ball returning from the original game.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Sharpay breaks curfew to have a New Year's countdown with Tom, and clears out the secret area to do so by telling everyone off for breaking curfew.
* [[Informed Judaism|Informed Islam]]: Subverted with [[Batman|Damian Razem]]. Although he seems like a Muslim who's more show than tell, his constant use of Arabic and subtle obedience towards his religion indicates that he's more than just talk.
* [[Instant Fanclub]]: That same NPC [[Girl Posse]] happen to be Trepies, and also think [[Hot Teacher|Snow]] is quite good-looking.
* [[Is That A Challenge]]: By Mewtwo to Bulla, quoting [[Pokémon: theThe First Movie (Anime)|the original film]].
* [[Leaning Onon the Furniture]]: If there is any furniture, it's [[Final Fantasy VIII|Seifer]]'s now.
* [[Military Superhero]]: Played straight for any of the characters from either the [[DC Comics|DC Universe]] or [[Marvel Comics|Marvel Universe]], as they're superheroes who have graduated or will graduate and work for Garden as part of its mercenary force.
* [[Mistaken for Pregnant]]: Espio leaves his turnip stash in Marco's dorm room without telling him; Marco leaps to the conclusion that it is a message from Grell in vegetable language.
* [[The Napoleon]]: [[Invader Zim|Zim,]] since his classmates are mostly normal-human-sized... and he ran into [[Final Fantasy XIII|Snow]] not long after enrolling.
* [[Next Sunday ADA.D.]]: Despite being set twenty-one years after [[Final Fantasy VIII]], it appears that [[Science Marches On|Science Has Not Marched On]].
** [[Reality Subtext]]: Until the game's move to Dreamwidth, when the characters receive wireless-capable laptops and much of the world outside Garden also gets a technological upgrade.
* [[Organization Withwith Unlimited Funding]]: Now that students are sponsored by outside groups, Garden has the money to quickly build an adults' lounge on a newcomer's request while they have the dorms renovated.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: [[One Piece|Marco]]. Another reason you don't mess with Tobias.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Characters applied as SeeDs have at least a year of handwaved history within the setting, and including CR in this handwave is an option.
* [[School Play]]: The drama classes put one on every quarter, having so far performed ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' set in the first Sorceress War {{smallcaps|WITH LASERS!}} and ''[[Cats]]''.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Did they talk to each other? Miss Tattler ships it now.
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: The subject of an entire event within the game.
* [[Subject 101]]
Line 56:
** [[Mind Over Matter]]: Cid Raines.
** [[Prehensile Hair]]: Goose.
** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Rolo gets Zuko's Firebending; Espio also gets firepowers.
** [[Super Speed]]: Danny again.
** [[Super Strength]]: Danny again; Tavros gets Equius'.
** [[Time Stands Still]]: Zuko gets [[Blessed Withwith Suck|Rolo's Geass]], making people think this has happened.
** [[Winged Humanoid]]: Rinoa gets stuck with the wings from her Angel Wing Limit Break ''all the time''.
** [[X-Ray Vision]]: Redglare.
Line 69:
* [[Two-Teacher School]]: Averted! Many SeeD PCs are instructors.
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]: Seifer, after the entire events of [[Final Fantasy VIII]], had no trouble getting back into the Garden and resuming his classes. Not everyone has welcomed him, though.
* [[Youth Is Wasted Onon the Dumb]]: Applies to practically half the cast, but special mention goes towards [[Invader Zim|Zim]] for publicly asking for people's DNA samples on the BBS where the teachers could spot him... and Damian for hitting a weapon at Souless![[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Colette]] and getting attacked with freaking Judgment in retaliation.
