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.

Though she had met her current companion before, Naomi didn't know enough about her to decide whether it was alright to really leave them to their own. It was one thing to be enthusiastic about their assignment, but breaking off while monsters were a lurking threat was fairly unwise.

Still...

... only two eyes were trekking Pidge while the doctor continued working on her own portion. The pace was slow, but it kept them from getting separated. Sighing, she proceeded up the wall to examine the ceiling.

Pidge could, admittedly, be a little reckless at times. And sure, she was confident enough in her own abilities to gauge when it was appropriate to do so. But sometimes she didn't stop to think things completely through.

This... might have been one of those times. But honestly, she was more than a little excited about the prospect of mapping out these tunnels, and she just didn't want to be over-cautious.

But for the most part, she'd had very little trouble so far. It was slow going, but there was no real need to rush it. And they were less likely to run into trouble if they didn't go rushing in.

[chatwithdeath]

There has been no trouble for any of them so far fortunately, but all it would take was a rumble or even smaller shake to be alerted to a disturbance. At least, Naomi anyway. The tunnel system would be disadvantageous to fight in should anything come up.

For a second, she did stop writing and take a moment to look around... but then resumed her work.
