Who: All
When: September 10th to September 30th
Where: Curti Center and mines around the world
What: Characters assist Ganeshan in developing Custom Jobs.
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post

A. The Lab

As much as Ganeshan requires supplies to create Custom Jobs, he need help at home base. With the large number of potential applicants, outworlders and Curti Center employees are invited to help out in the lab, not only with testing transfer of Jobs to crystals, but in developing the abilities and running safety tests.

Easier said than done when all of these cats aren't roaming throughout the center and claiming everything to be their sitting spot. The interns are trying their best to catherd to little avail.

B. Job Development

The break room contains formal submission papers and pamphlets describing the steps required to develop a Custom Job. Senior employees are available to help characters workshop the abilities, but they mostly want to remain in the break rooms to avoid Ganeshan's constant Job mania. His booming voice is muffled through the doors, interspersed with allergic sneezing.

A room has been prepared for those to practice using their basic job abilities, primarily in making sure they're stable yet not too weak. There is a chance that an improper ability extraction can go wrong and hurt the user, so Ganeshan has group of White Mages are on standby in case things go south.

For those that would rather have all the fun without the work, there is the Ability Simulation and Modeling Room, where characters can design their abilities on the computer and see them play out on the screen before them. There's no limit here, and since Jessie is too busy to keep an eye on everyone, the outfits and visual effects have the potential to get...very, very silly.

C. Heigh-Ho

It's off to work you go. Those crystals won't mine themselves, and anyone strong enough must enter the mine in search of the necessary material. It's tedious, difficult work, and some of these are embedded so deeply in the rock that they might be more trouble than they're worth. Not to mention those gross bugs might not like their homes to be disturbed.

There's also the fact that monsters have a tendency to wander inside and attack, so they'll need some reliable body guards.

There should be more crystals deeper inside, but someone else will have to scout the area...

D. Explore the Dungeon

Which is where this team comes in. All the good stuff is deep in this mine, and reliable navigators are necessary to map out the tunnels without getting lost. There's also the fact that the previous owners of a time long ago didn't want opportunists to take their precious resources and outfitted the rooms with puzzles.

Door Locks are puzzles. Pressure plates activate traps. It's the ultimate test of critical thinking. Some of these don't make sense if you think for too long. Why did they go through all the trouble to program time-based puzzles with falling blocks and symbols? The Pupu are strange. At least the bats here are easy to fight, and the mine cart rides are fun.

[Huh. The way the gown fell really accentuated the hips and the broad shoulders.]

The city, with cars and buildings gettin' smashed to shit like a big-budget movie! I was thinkin' ocean, but maybe after we make sea monster 'us'es or somethin'.

[righthandstand]

Dude, maybe they got a chase scene?

[He scans the list, which...is kind of short. There's a streetfight and a store, but no car chase scene.]

Man, what's even the point if you can shoot your own movie on this thing? [Maybe...] What about on top of a train? That's more like an action movie.

[topgun_textiles]

Shit, the train sounds awesome! Maybe the train's full of innocents and it's goin' outta control.

Ooh, what if the cops are gonna show up soon and we gotta fight and see who gets stuck with the cuffs!?

[righthandstand]

Or one of us betrayed the other and we gotta fight out our differences. Or one of us was the bad guy all along!

[Traintop fight! He selects the two new characters, which stand out among the lineup of previous models made by designers taking their job seriously.]

Ok, ok, we gotta let the computer fight it out. Loser buys both of us ice cream.

[topgun_textiles]

You're on. I like caramel sundaes.

[SLAM THAT GO BUTTON. Your ass is grass, Okuyasu and his green abomination!]

[righthandstand]

[Kermit and Leggy Arm Man anticlimatically appear on opposite ends of the train roof, and the former rushes forward with his arms raised in front of him, like a guy who didn't get the full memo on the Naruto Run.]

[topgun_textiles]

[Meanwhile, as a reverse Naruto Run is happening, the other is clomping along like a frickin' AT-AT on his horrid monster feet, arms flopping around. It's like a toddler just learning to walk, or perhaps a mutant who'd gotten into the mini-bar.

Were they perhaps gaining a bit of an audience? Indeed... of kind of annoyed Curti Center employees. But they were ignored for now.]

YaaAAAHH EAT SHIT, FROGBOY!

[righthandstand]

[One of the employees snickers, but is quickly silenced by the unimpressed looks their coworkers give them. Kermit slams his hands on Leggy Arm Man's torso, and a sick guitar riff plays with the initial attack.]

[topgun_textiles]

[Leggy Arm Man pinwheels his horrid arms as he stumbles back, but not without firing off a torrent of lasers, hitting health bars, score numbers and even frying parts of the landscape. Kanji kept mashing the button because he was pro at fighting games, knowing if he just shot enough lasers, he might have an edge.]

[righthandstand]

[Okuyasu may not be an arcade pro, but he's better at video games at Josuke, which is a low standard to begin with, but he knows that mashing buttons only makes you look stupid. Which is the point, but he has ice cream resting on this.]

Take this!

[He has Kermit do a standing split to kick this opponent in the chin.]

[topgun_textiles]

[The character from hell reeled back, but crouched down to begin a floor slide spam. If high attacks and lasers didn't work, how about CHEESE!?]

Try that kick again!
