Event || Custom Fit

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.

"Whoa."

It was amazing, really, his ability to trigger every trap in existence. Pidge was starting to genuinely worry a little for his safety. But he didn't seem terribly upset by it, aside from having to be constantly in a state of dodging and rolling. It was something she could admire, if she was being honest.

Fortunately, she hadn't been anywhere near where he was standing at the time, and now she turned to watch him scramble. "How do you keep doing that?" Was he doing it on purpose, or...? Either way, she nodded at Melody and marked down the latest trap.

"Dude I don't know! It's like this dungeon is out to get me!"

"I mean logically speaking it's not targeting you specifically but yes it is trying to kill you...and the rest of us I guess." Melody pointed out earning an annoyed look from the normally laughing Beastboy.

"Hey I didn't actually ask anyone but what are the rules about death in this game? To I get a respawn or does someone have to pay for it? Because I'm still kinda broke." He wondered out loud while dusting off his trousers and dragging himself to his feet.

"Yeah maybe just focus on not dying? Can we try that?"

Ordinarily, it might've seemed like a silly thought. But having been here for a while now, Pidge was almost inclined to believe that something like that could actually be the truth. "I'm sure it's nothing personal. Whoever decided to booby trap the place was probably not thinking specifically of you when they did it." Because that would just be ridiculous.

At that, though, she had to pause, because she had no idea. "I'm... not sure." Definitely not the most reassuring answer. Sorry, Beastboy! "Neither of my asterisks have that type of skill, though." Also not terribly reassuring. Oops.

"Hey, yea! That's a good idea. Let's just not die. Or get injured." That seemed more reasonable.

"I can promise one but probably not both. Especially not if we want to solve these puzzles. What's this next one looking like?"

"Some kind of match the tile thing. I'd guess that you were stepping on all the wrong ones."

Beastboy turned his attention back to the hallway that had attacked him and studied the images on the tiles already starting to look confused.

"But they don't match? So how do we know which ones go in which order?"
