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.

"And if it didn't work? I'm pretty sure your friend here wouldn't be very happy with me right now." Even though Cor gets why now - and part of him is intrigued with seeing some kind of odd-looking canine being able to teleport. But he's much too angry to focus on the wolf right now.

He eyes the katar, and takes in the scar on the younger man's face. He seems serious, and he doesn't seem to be a novice fighter to Cor. "You're sure about that? I could easily knock you flat if you're not careful."

"If it didn't work, my friend here would be the least of our concerns." Because there's another bond; one he can feel much better in this space than just outside the room. Yet he doesn't specify; instead, he relaxes his shoulders slightly. "I'm sorry for being so reckless, but I won't make it easy on you."

He'll have to catch him, and like the Lion who originally chose him, he's fast even without his companion's assistance.

Cor grunts, nods, and shifts into ready position. "If you didn't, I'd really kick your ass for insulting me like that." On the one hand, he really should wait until the next session to even consider re-testing them around others. And yet, the idea of having a sparring partner while having his original skills back is too tempting to resist.

Which is why there's a tiny smile trying to form on his lips, despite his lingering irritation.

Keith nods back before retorting, "Guess I'll just have to try even harder, then." Keith's stance widens slightly, bayard held over his right leg defensively and ready to strike at a moment's notice. Kosmo moves to his left and his muscles tense under the dark blue fur as the wolf's head lowers the same time the paladin's does. Yet he doesn't touch the strands so close to his fingertips. Instead, he shakes his head, and Kosmo steps back. He'll sit and wait until his friend requires his help.

He hadn't shown any teleportation skills and he wasn't about to cheapen the spar if he can help it. Keith moves to his right, circling the other; always keeping his left hand in front of him. Cor's a quick draw; he noted that earlier. Likely unexpected, he throws the bayard; not directly at him, but to the side and past him as said Altean shield forms to cover his now exposed right as the bayard easily cuts into the wall and deactivates before reappearing in a flash of red within Keith's left as he charges forward after it.
