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.

"Hard to say something's jinxed when it's inevitable by nature. Most of the cats seem to be from Sen Devadatta, but there's still a few that have already been here."

And if cats chose to be territorial, that was how it was. Thinking of, she did hear a low growl from somewhere nearby...

Cor turns around to find a certain blonde kitten growling back at the original source. "...how in the Six did you even get here?" He mutters as he leans down to scoop up the kitten. "Thought I left you at home..."

[chatwithdeath]

The arachne woman raised an eyebrow, looking between Cor and the blonde kitten. How in the Six, he had said... did she want to know who or what the Six was? Likely not.

"Didn't leave a window open by chance, did you?"

[immortalmarshal]

Not that this point in his life, no. "Or she snuck into a bag without any of us realizing it," he grumbles, even as he hoists the tiny feline up onto his shoulder. She finally quiets into a content purr. "Little monster refused to let me be alone for very long these days."

[chatwithdeath]

"Is that right?" Well, he's doomed. Giving the cat the shoulder to ride on is the final nail in the coffin. At least he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would feed his pet too much though so that's one thing. "Consider it fortuitous for today. She'll keep other cats away."

[immortalmarshal]

Oh, well, he'd say that she was nothing but skin and bones when he first found her. Imagine how much better she looks after just a few weeks under his careful, somewhat tender care. "Let's hope she doesn't make any rivals yet. She's a little young to be doing that."

[chatwithdeath]

"That? I wouldn't worry about rivalries right now..."

But the reality was still a cat. They'll do what they want... as long as it didn't require surgery, it'd be okay.
