Enter the Master

[Each new arrival's iMog buzzes with a message instructing them to gather for a worldwide adventure to obtain the power of Vaikuntha. If they follow the invitation's instructions, they will arrive at outside of the airship hanger on the morning of the 15th, with their meager belongings packed.

An Enterprise-Class airship, the Ragnarok, hovers outside of the Curti Center. There is a flash of light on the top of the ship.]

"WELCOME!"

[A figure, minuscule at this distance, launches itself off of the ship and hurtles toward the ground. As he draws closer to the ground, he starts to flip, landing with a flourish. An armored figure, sans helm, turns his toothy Zora grin to the crowd. With a shimmer, his armor transforms into a white mage's robe, and he sends a rush of wind through the crowd for dramatic effect.]

"I AM GANESHAN, THE JOB MASTER! GYA HA HA HA! TODAY, YOUR LIVES WILL CHANGE FOREVER."

[Ganeshan shimmers again, ruthlessly abusing the Chemist's Modifier skill to once again shift Job Classes so he can lower the airship's loading dock with a wave of his hand.]

"I BELIEVE THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAS THE ABILITY TO MASTER THE JOB CLASSES. SOME OF YOU MAY MASTER MANY, OTHERS WILL PURSUE THE PERFECT MASTERY OF JUST ONE. BUT EITHER WAY, YOU'LL BE INCREDIBLE!"

[Ganeshan gives everyone a big thumbs-up. The out-worlders who are not scared off by this booming speech can feel free to enter the airship and prepare for their ride around the world. Hopefully some of the Curti Center's newest hires can serve as non-crazy less exuberant tour guides for the new arrivals.]

Around the World

[The Ragnarok will be stopping at every major city in Vaikuntha, with the exception of those cut off by the Imperial border closing. Characters can create top levels to respond to the Guild prompts and explore the cities themselves as the ship makes its stops. Each Guild provides information sessions, free food and trinkets for potential applicants, and once you're ready to receive your Asterisk, all you have to do is take some introductory lessons and fill out forms. Characters can receive up to two asterisks. Time to get to know your new world!

Questions for Ganeshan can be directed to the Ganeshan top level post.]

[ Ena offers a small smile. She wasn't either... but at least this town had something fun to offer. ]

Everything, actually. [ She holds up the small pad of paper and pencil in her hand. ] It's fascinating. Lots of tools I'm not familiar with. I'm not acquainted with any intelligent aquatic races in my home world, so how they managed to build an underwater city like this is very interesting. And yourself? [ Ena wasn't going to mention how she didn't seem the scholarly type, but then many of these humans of other realities baffled her. ]

[mythmaker]

Aquatic races...ah, we have those. They're called mermaids. But now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen one before. They're half-fish and half-beautiful-lady.

[How is that for scholarly? It's really impressive, right? She speaks as though mermaids are real as she looks down at the tools Ena is currently inspecting.]

These people are more like half-fish and half-human-fish, aren't they?

[rivieran]

[ Well, she has no point of reference for anything on Earth, so she taps her chin thoughtfully. Congrats Azusa, Ena now believes mermaids are real. ]

Indeed, they seem much more "man" than "fish." [ She chuckles briefly and looks around the room to see if there were any of the aforementioned fish people around, but luckily, they were alone. ]

Do you know if your mermaids have any cities like these? I would be interested to know how they might have built their cities, if they are indeed a civilized race. [ She stops for a moment. Didn't she just say she's never seen one before? ]

[mythmaker]

Hmm...do you think this is what they mean by 'swimmer's build', Ena?

[Like always, strange thoughts drift in and out of Azusa's head. She follows Ena's eye when she glances around the room, catching on. Ah, maybe they don't like being compared to fish...]

I think they have an underwater castle or two. Their king has seven daughters, and they all live in the same place. That's what I remember, at least.
