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

[A. The Lab] she's so gosh dang cute i cannot even ;;

[keymemory]

[ Sora was on the prowl for something to do, hopefully something helpful. It was a lot different here than it was back home. He was glad for Nunumu, his moogle partner, for the sake of having someone around him always. He had gotten used to that prior coming here and the thought of trekking along by himself sure didn’t seem fun at all!

Sora makes an impulsive turn down the hallway and another turn into a room where something white (and fluffy?) is rolling around on the floor. He steps back and gives a small sound of surprise before he focuses on the moogle. ]

Oh! Whups! Let me help you, are you alright?

[ He squatted down and offered to take the cup from the moogle and offered a hand to help the creature up— well, if they needed it. ]

Sorry! This slipped off my plate

[kuposcreed]

[The impact with Sora's leg shocked Bonnie out of her intense focus. It wasn't until he reached down to take the mug that she realized that she not only saved it but she kept it from spilling too! This asterisk and all the practice she was going through was really working for her, and this was just the beginning!

She nodded, blushing a bit before handing the mug off, and free of her burden she did a half hop, half roll up onto her feet...though she still grasped his offered hand to pull herself back up the last little bit of the way.]

Thank you, kupo. I got the catmancer job but they're still not listening to me just yet, kupo.

Re: Sorry! This slipped off my plate

[keymemory]

[ Sora may have cooed. She was just so cute. He was happy to help and was glad she took his offer to do so. ]

You.. did, did you? [ He chuckles with a quick glance around the room before his sights settle back on her. ] I can’t imagine being able to control any of these cats.. I mean, even one cat! I think I’d do better with a dog. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat even do a trick!

Re: Sorry! This slipped off my plate

[kuposcreed]

[Well, the cat ears she's wearing are a clue, but Bonnie takes some honest pride in his seeming disbelief. She puffs up a bit even as she tries to brush herself off.]

Kupo, well, I'll get there eventually, I'm sure. At least if I can keep myself from being carried off again that's enough, kupo. Cats are smart and you shouldn't underestimate them, kupo~

[Of course moogles are a bit more at the mercy of the average household feline considering their size compared to the average human.]

Re: Sorry! This slipped off my plate

[keymemory]

[ Those cat ears on Bonnie are just about the most precious thing ever. It reminded Sora of the little booties he had gotten Nunumu. They should go shopping together, he bet Bonnie knew all the best places for moogle clothes.

He didn’t think he was underestimating them, just that they weren’t interested in doing any of his commands! Sora chuckles. ]

Yeah, maybe… I just don’t think they like to do what anyone says!

[kuposcreed]

[Bonnie did enjoy fashion, but she wasn't much of a moogle mogul. But cute things were nice. Her Assassin hood however was stitched all by herself, at least the original one was. She's gotten better at making those and repairs as needed just out of practice.]

Hmmm, so maybe the trick is to try to command them to do the things I don't want them to do? Unless then they think I'm telling them it's okay to do those things. That would just make it worse, kupo....hmmmm....

[This was a far more complex job than she thought, kupo!]
