Who: All New Arrivals and Curti Center Staff
When: April 15th-30th
Where: All over Vaikuntha, starting outside of the airship hanger
What: Ganeshan, the resident Job Expert, will be taking the new arrivals around the the various Guilds so they can collect their chosen Job Asterisks as noted in their applications.
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.]

TARK VARENTAIN - Ninjas

[Anyone who's met Bonnie up to this point without having known her previously would be excused for perhaps dismissing her as a serious contribution to any party composition beyond cheerleader. Considering her time has mostly been spent fluttering around and looking for someone else, she wasn't quite putting her own best foot forward.

Here in the Ninja guild though, the moogle seems to have gotten serious. At least for the moment. She signs up for the guild and accepts the asterisk at the first opportunity, much to the bewilderment of the guild clerk. But once she's set up she takes to the obstacle course they have set up for free running training to the best of her ability. Her diminutive size works against her more than her wings help, but she tries her hardest to finish the course once she begins and without any pity help, collapsing at the end as she tries to catch her breath.]

Kupo....Mary always made this look so easy...

Ragnarok - In transit

[Picking out her first job was the easy one. It's the second one that's a source of pondering as she looks through the different flyers and notes shes been able to gather.]

Mmmm, maybe Dragoon? But Monk might make me a better fighter, kupo.

[She furrows her furry brow as she looks between the two when Kuvon twirls over and slaps a third down on top of them.]

'Ganeshin spoke wisely when suggested Dancer. You should take this, improve movement. Be less of furry slug.'

[Bonnie very nearly appreciated that advice until he got to the end, and turns away with a huff. Kuvon pays her offense no mind and resumes his own practice steps.]

Kiddilion

[There is...one other thing. Bonnie's been going over the world map since her arrival and the similarity to Crystallis in shape had been the first thing to occur to her. But since her own experience in world travel was limited she wasn't sure what to expect. The names though, that took a bit longer to click and there was one that stuck out to her in particular.

The moogle flutters through the streets of the smuggler town on her lonesome, her new ninja knife slung over her shoulder. Nobody has accosted her yet, but perhaps nobody wants to risk having their next moogle mail arrive in poor condition or mysteriously get lost. Or maybe they're just ignoring her. Or maybe someone's lurking in the shadows and is about to get the drop on her and needs to be dealt with.

Bonnie's own attention is focused on the buildings she passes, looking to each one with a slow buzz of concern filling her little body. At this point she's not expecting much but maybe...just maybe...if she sees a certain symbol...well she's not sure what she'll feel, but it's something to hope for, right?]

[It hasn't occurred to Uendo that moogles could use Jobs, but that sure is a moogle poring over Job flyers. And considering some combat-heavy ones too, from the sounds of it.

...Maybe he shouldn't underestimate moogles just because they're cute.]

Hey now, that's not a very nice thing to say. [He walks over, giving Kuvon a pointed glance before smiling at Bonnie.] Having trouble picking your Jobs?

[Taking care to not underestimate moogles because of their cuteness is a good idea regardless of fighting prowess. Even those who flee at the first sign of trouble might be fond of playing pranks.]

Mmm, not trouble, kupo. I know I want to be a ninja. I just need to decide which one to use with it. Dragoon might help if I need to attack someone from above, kupo.

'Need to be able dodge strikes, kupo! Dancer grant you good fluidity, mobility. Move along battlefield with grace!'
