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

[spaceforged]

He sighs. "I'm 25, I've been a pilot since I was 19." He reaches up and tugs on his white hair. "This is just a byproduct of a friend saving my life." More like bringing him back but that's not a topic he likes advertising. "And yes, I'm used to thinking on my feet in and out of the cockpit. You have to in space. There are so many things that could and will go wrong."

He'd originally come into the testing room to see if he could help refine the paladin job. He can feel his connection to Black in here. But that's not all he can feel. "Anyway, I'm Takashi Shirogane, circumstances aside, nice to meet you, sir." He offers his left hand.

"Ah...that would explain things. On both accounts." Cor sheathes his own blade again and shakes the offered hand, nodding politely out of habit. "Cor Leonis. Pleasure, I suppose..."

He then thinks for a moment. "...don't suppose you go by any nicknames?"

[spaceforged]

That makes him pause as he lets go of the other man's hand. "Yes, most people call me Shiro." He takes the risk and adds. "...Have you heard of me before?" If he had there are a number of ways he could have heard of him.

The question is which one.

[immortalmarshal]

"Yeah, from Noctis. We're from the same world - even the same area." That much is true, yes. Cor understands that Noctis doesn't like being referred to as royalty, so he doesn't bring that up. Yet.

He glances at the training dummies off to the side with an idle interest. He should test if the skills he hasn't messed with could be drawn out. But, same area then that means likely someone among Noct's people. "I already know his status. I just don't bring it up. He asked me to keep quiet about it and I respect that."

He takes a second to think and adds, "Would you mind a spar? I have certain skills I need to see if they can really be drawn out. But I want someone to be there in case anything goes wrong." He might need contained if he truly isn't free. The power he'd seen Cor use...it would be enough. "You don't have to." He adds.
