Warnings/Notes: Guild prompts can be found here

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.]

I LIVE THE WAY YOU TALK, FRIEND!

[Sure, the newcomer is a Skeleton, but he seems like a perfectly friendly one who wants to take Jobs and not blindly attack people, so Ganeshan is willing to help him out.]

THE MOST SCIENTIFIC JOB IS CHEMIST, ALTHOUGH MAGITEK KNIGHTS ARE ALSO TALENTED AT ENGINEERING. THEY MIX SCIENCE AND MAGIC! CHEMISTS ARE MORE PURELY SCIENTIFIC.

THERE IS A GOURMAND JOB FOR THOSE WHO LOVE COOKING AND/OR EATING. [Ganeshan may be slightly less enthusiastic in recommending this job than he is the others, but don't let that stop you, Friend Skeleton!]

AND IF YOU LIKE PUZZLES, YOU COULD CONSIDER TACTICIAN. THEY EXCEL AT GAMES OF STRATEGY AND MENTAL SKILL.

NYEH HEH HEH!!! THANK YOU! I ALSO APPRECIATE YOUR POWERFUL PROJECTION.

[He beams at the fellow monster (?). Well, he looks like a fish. Undyne is a fish. Seems straightforward enough!

At any rate, he listens intently. All these jobs seem very appealing. Cooking! Science! Engineering! Even puzzles! How could he possibly say no?]

ANYWAY, THOSE ALL SOUND PERFECT! BUT HOW MANY JOBS CAN I TAKE AT ONCE? I'M A SKELETON OF MANY TALENTS, YOU SEE. I CAN'T JUST SETTLE FOR ONE!!!

[eternitynpcs]

AH, I SENSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE SOMEONE WHO ENDS UP WITH 10 JOBS! SO AMBITIOUS!

YOU CAN ONLY HOLD AN ACTIVE AND A PASSIVE JOB FOR NOW, BUT ONCE YOU TAKE ON THOSE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO STORE A THIRD JOB. AFTER YOU MASTER YOUR FIRST JOB, YOUR BODY WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ON EVEN MORE ASTERISKS! KEEP MASTERING THEM AND EVENTUALLY, YOU'LL END UP WITH 10!

[Ganeshan tilts back his head and laughs heartily. Job asterisks are so magical!]

[einspine]

INDEED! AMBITION CONTAINS AT LEAST SOME LETTERS FROM MY NAME! ERGO, IT'S PRACTICALLY ETCHED INSIDE MY SOUL!!!

[He deflates a little, though. Only two for now? But that's so limiting! On the other hand, it does allow for a certain degree of specialization. Hmm... what a conundrum.]

WELL, AS LONG AS I'M ABLE TO CHOOSE MORE LATER... AH, BUT WHICH TO START WITH? PUZZLES, SCIENCE, MACHINES, COOKING?!

WELL, AT THE VERY LEAST, I AM OBLIGATED TO TAKE ON THE ROLE OF A CHEMIST!!!

[eternitynpcs]

CHEMIST IS A WONDERFUL START, AND WHEN YOU UNLOCK MORE JOBS, BEING A MASTER CHEMIST WILL ALLOW YOU TO TOGGLE JOBS WITH EASE! IT'S A STRATEGY THAT WILL PAY OFF IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS![Ganeshan knows those feels, Papyrus. It's hard to wait to unlock more Jobs when you want to master them all right away! But fear not, your patience will pay off!]
