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.]

[euphemia]

Do you think something is going to happen here? Is that why we're taking these ... these roles?

[modelcivilian]

... I think so. Even if it was just monsters...

... Did you see that post on the network a few days ago? They were talking about that little girl and the "Heroes of Light"?

[euphemia]

[ Euphemia frowns slightly recalling reading a bit of it. A lot of it didn't make sense to her, but she knew it was vital information and kept a friendly observance on it just in case. ]

... Heroes of Light. [ A frown. She apparently missed something that he might have understood better. ] What did you make of it?

[modelcivilian]

It... sounds like a possibility. It's the most we have to go on right now.

[euphemia]

[ Is very unsure about this. ]

I suppose there's no chance we can go to school here, after all.

[ Not if there's some purpose behind their being here. ]

[modelcivilian]

... We might be able to attend for a while. The danger isn't immediate.

[He's unsure about this too, but they don't know where to look for any of this yet.]

[euphemia]

[ She's going to try and remain hopeful that whatever danger lurks about will stay away long enough to at least let her enlist in whatever school they have. But now they were just going off topic. Wasn't this about Swordsmanship? ]

I've known Knights in my world that wields swords.

[modelcivilian]

[It's really about whatever comes to mind.]

You did? What were they like?

[euphemia]

[ Thinking happier things to avoid the negative! She tries! Except now she has to talk about Knights. Well. ]

The Knights in my world are an elite force of brilliant military men and who serve to protect our country. They're appointed to act as personal knights to certain members of the royal family.

Taking up the sword is a show of strength.

[modelcivilian]

[If there hadn't been some oddities to her world in their previous discussions, he really would think she's just from Great Britain.]

They sound like some knights in my world... [Just... not really in a present sense.]
