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.

So maybe it wasn't the best idea to be peeking at what someone else was doing, but Marinette was curious. She hadn't quite figured out what she was going to do with her own yet, so maybe this would help her come up with some ideas.

If asked, she'd probably say that she was just curious to see what kind of outfits people were going to go with. But more accurately, she was just fishing for ideas. So when she spotted someone she didn't recognize at one of the computers, she felt only slightly guilty for creeping up and leaning over to peer at the monitor over their shoulder.

"That looks really nice!"

[pishirogane]

"Hm?"

Naoto raised her eyebrow at the unfamiliar teenager leaning in while she's working. It did make her feel uncomfortable having her personal space breached, but she can only lean away slightly in order to keep working. It wasn't even the armor of the 'job' she was working on - she just wanted to make sure her Persona would be able to appear in their usual outfit.

"Thank you..."

[doodlebuginette]

That reaction was... probably not a good sign. Oops!

"Sorry! I was just walking by and saw you fiddling with clothes, and I was curious."

And clearly, invading someone's personal space was the best next step in that situation. But in her defense, she did straighten up and back off a little.

"I wasn't trying to bother you, but it really does look nice."

[pishirogane]

"I see... If that was the case, there's no harm in asking..."

Instead of, you know, abruptly showing up. Shaking her head - what's done having been done - Naoto turned back to the console.

"Hmm... it should almost be done."

[doodlebuginette]

That probably would have been a better way to go about it. But she's used to dealing with Alya (who is in turn used to dealing with Marinette's eccentricities and general demeanor), so she really wasn't thinking about it.

"Do you mind if I stay?" It's a little late for that, too, most likely, but she means well at least.

[pishirogane]

"At this point, there's no reason to leave. And if you intend on trying out the customization, it's all yours."

Naoto stepped back, finished with her playing around and left the board open to the other girl if she wanted to try.
