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.]

[ Amanda taps her foot. ]

I'm pretty used to being light on my feet, so that should suit me more than any brute force garbo.

[ That's what teammates are for. ]

Oh, also, like, I heard something about school? Is that mandatory? I'd rather have that time to work on my job stuff.

[Well, if she wants to get her way, she just used the magic words for Ganeshan. Of course any upstanding young person would want to prioritize Jobs over all else!

But he imagines the lecture Claire will give him if he goes around telling children to drop out of school. Sigh. He should probably find out a little more.]

HOW OLD ARE YOU? IT'S SO HARD TO TELL WITH YOU HUMANS. OF COURSE, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ATTEND SCHOOL IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED YOUR EDUCATION IN YOUR HOME WORLD BUT I CANNOT FIND FAULT WITH YOU WANTING TO BEGIN MASTERING YOUR JOBS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.YOU MAY NEED TO SPEAK WITH CLAIRE TO CONFIRM.

[ That's why she asked fish man first - she needed to check with someone who'd encourage her to live her dreams. ]

Sixteen, and yeah, I bet I couldn't guess your age either.

[ That's just how it is. ]

I mean, schooling can last a long-ass time in my world, so maybe I'll just go until I think I've got a feel for this one?

[Ganeshan has always got your back when it comes to Jobs, kid. You get a thumbs up!]

HERE, UNLESS THEY WISH TO ATTEND UNIVERSITY, STUDENTS GRADUATE AROUND AGE 17. IT WOULD PROBABLY BE WISE TO ATTEND TO HELP ACCLIMATE YOURSELF TO YOUR NEW WORLD, BUT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE YOUR FIRST JOB ASTERISKS AND BEGIN LEARNING JOB SKILLS.

[Just, you know, part time. Probably.]

[witchwithoutacause]

Mm, I'll probably... start off in school anyways. Not like I wasn't stuck in school back home already.

[ Just to acclimate, then bam! She's treasure hunting or something. ]

Uh, thanks and stuff though.

[eternitynpcs]

[Claire-crisis averted! Ganeshan gives the girl a smile so bring it almost has a sound-effect.]

YOU'RE WELCOME. IF I CAN EVER HELP IN YOUR PURSUIT OF JOB MASTERY, JUST LET ME KNOW! GOOD LUCK, YOUNG LADY.
