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.

"Pfft. Of course! But i didn't expect the treasure to be the thing guarding the treasure!" He explained poorly before trying to explain.

"I keep going out there looking for baddies to fight so I can level up right? Wait...do you play video games?" The idea of Poison Ivy sitting down with a gamestation for a round of Mega Monkeys is almost enough to make him laugh. Harley Quinn sure, everyone knew she loved online gaming. But Ivy?

"You have trouble focusing on one subject, don't you petal?"
changelingdude: (O.O)

"Guy like me's always changing! Just gotta go with the flow!"

He paused and then groaned.

"See I keep forgetting I can't shapeshift to make lines like that cool or funny. I was thinking of turning into like a dog, then a bird, then a lama. The lama always gets a smile." He explained wiggling his ears a little.

"Plus if I stop talking I'm afraid you'll send me away and I wanna be friends!"

Ivy rolls her eyes and attempts to go back to doing something productive while holding this conversation.

"Okay, one, I feel like no amount of shapeshifting is going to make your lines funny and definitely not cool."

Althaea snickers, sitting down upon the desk as she eats to watch Ivy speak.

"And two, why in the name of The Green do you want to be friends?"
changelingdude: (Bashful gwash)

"Well I mean...we are from the same world more or less. So that's kind of important isn't it?"

Not particularly but he already knew he was grasping at straws here.

"And besides, you're a plant lady. I'm an animal dude. We should be friends! I mean we both dig nature in our own ways. You literally in some cases...because gardening."

He was hoping at least she wasn't as much of a man hater as her reputation hinted at. That would make befriending her a lot harder and since she was all he had from his world it felt important. He felt responsible for her in a weird way.
toxicodendron_isley: (The shit?)

"Is it?" Pam appears skeptical at that.

She groans and rubs her temple at the joke.

"You'd really have been better off trying to make friends with Harley."
changelingdude: (Wha question mark?)

[personal profile] changelingdude 2018-10-08 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah but she's not here! And I mean...yeah OK everyone knows she loves animals but like...you must like her to hang out with her so much!"

Poison Ivy didn't seem like the desperate type after all.

"So what is it about Harley that ya like?"
toxicodendron_isley: (Buisness buisness buisness)

[personal profile] toxicodendron_isley 2018-10-09 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Harley is my friend, so I enjoy her company. But I'm not about start on a dissection on our relationship for you." Her tone is dismissive as she write some more notes down.

Althaea laughs and mocks. "Yeh! Why would she do that for you?"
changelingdude: (shrug)

He wilted at the outright rejection and shrugged.

"Alright yeah there's no reason. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up."

And then after a moment he added "I mean I am for now because like...you're working. I'm annoying but I'm not gonna be a jerk about it." And frankly he was still afraid of her.

"Sooner or later, when you least expect it? I'll figure out something nice I can do to prove I'm worth being friends with! then we'll be a lean green heroic machine! Nature's protectors or whatever."
