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.

Comments

Smash cut to a very confused Nanamo?

[sassafrisk]

Frisk takes a deep breath in, clasping their hands together with mischief flickering in their eyes. This was going to be fun. "It started back in the 1950s of my world and many others like it, with a hand-drawn animation named 'Astro Boy...'"

Yes yes basically

[nanaimo_bar]

20 minutes later...

"Thy world is very weird."

[sassafrisk]

"You don't even know the half of it." Frisk shakes their head, looking quite amused. "I haven't even talked about the horror that was Transformers XIV yet."

[nanaimo_bar]

"I can't hardly wait to consume the media in your world," said Nanamo with a dry, deadpan statement but there was a amused smile on her face.

i say as i put in a regain for frisk's anime/terrible movie/meme collection

[sassafrisk]

"Yeah, well, I wouldn't bet on seeing it anytime soon," Frisk says, shaking their head. "What a daring dream, though. To introduce memes and anime to Vaikuntha."

hehehe excellent

[nanaimo_bar]

"Well, if anything it would be an interesting time well spent during our downtime." said Nanamo with a shake of her head.

[sassafrisk]

"Serious. I would do unspeakable things to just kick back and binge My Paragon Curriculum and just ignore how the world's going to end unless we do something." They purse their lips, absentmindedly petting Nanamo's cat. "You know what I miss most from my planet, oddly enough? Weird pop culture. The random stuff that takes, well, twenty minutes to explain to somebody with no context. Silly, ridiculous things that make you look at it and go 'wow this is weird and kind of dumb' and still have fun with it. All of the stuff like that on Vaikuntha is either super serious or a potential deathtrap where I have to worry about getting crushed to death by giant cleaning appliances."

[nanaimo_bar]

"We don't have much of that back home, unless you count the songs that the bards sing," mused Nanamo. "And then, there's the plays and things that people sing and dance to. Your world sounds more relaxed until it gets serious."

[sassafrisk]

"Yeah, that's... a pretty good description of it, actually. I didn't even know magic existed before I fell into the Underground, and boy that was a trip, learning that your race collectively attempted to commit genocide on another species and trapped them in a big cave beneath a mountain when that didn't work."
