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.]

[zanarkandian]

Ooh, I don't think I went in there. The Gourmand at the last one, though? Now that was a party.

[His priorities are very obvious.]

You done, or are you looking for another guild?

[songbird_slayer]

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the White Mage's guild. I haven't quite done any healing before, but I wager now's as good a time as any to begin, no?

Plus there's that too-good-to-resist juxtaposition of someone looking like me donning holy robes.

[zanarkandian]

Yeah. I knew someone who was a healer---she saved all our butts more times than we could count. We could definitely use more of you.

[He tries to picture the robes.]

But I'm sure you'll look great. They've got choices, right?

[songbird_slayer]

Certainly. If it's not my style, I can always make my own. I've always been handy with a needle and thread... well, you have to, if you're on the road aplenty.

It doesn't do to perform when you've holes in your pants!

[zanarkandian]

I can just see it. And with all the climbing we do?

But I'm sure you know how to make something last.

[songbird_slayer]

Oh, certainly! ...Except for socks. They bunch when you fix the holes and then all you feel is that little crinkle in the cotton.

Take it from me- dispose of your socks and stockings once they get a run or a hole. Some things just aren't worth the effort.

...With that wisdom...! [She curtsied.]

I've much singing to do and tomfoolery to get myself into. I trust you'll stay out of trouble, or are you the type to get up to no good with idle hands?

[zanarkandian]

I'm pretty good at getting into trouble, but I'm getting better at staying out of it.

[He grins and waves.]

But I'll remember that. Thanks!
