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.]

Comments

Connie snickers slightly as well even as Nyx cuts himself off. "I don't know, Nyx. He has surprisingly powerful puppy eyes for such an old man. Withstanding those would undoubtedly be the most challenging feat of my career as an adventurer."

And as much as Connie hated to admit it, there was something about Clarus that put her at ease. He almost reminded her of Doug. And if she really was stuck here- no. Nope. Not an option. She would find a way back, no matter what it took.

"Puppy eyes?"

Nyx couldn't stop the sudden burst of laughter. There was no resisting such things when a young girl described a man such as Clarus as having puppy eyes. Here Nyx had assumed Iris had gained them from her mother but alas, the whole time it was apparently from her father!

"Well, out of anyone to have as a parental figure I have to say I'd put Clarus near the top. If only to have someone here to go to, until you go home."

Because she would certainly be going home. Nyx had promised himself to help make that happen for everyone here.

[conniemaheswaran]

"Like you wouldn't believe!"

When Nyx brings up Clarus' qualifications as a dad-surrogate, he's simply saying things that Connie already knows. From her conversations with him, Connie's well aware that Clarus is a good man qualified for taking care of her should the worst come to worst and they couldn't get off Vaikuntha before the Curti Center kicked them out. But that wasn't an option. "...I was thinking that too, honestly. I just hope that- no, we will find a way back home before that becomes necessary."

[nyxmare]

"You certainly will." Nyx agrees softly. He could tell the girl was willing to claw her way back to her own world. So many seemed like they needed to get home. That there were broader issues they needed to get back to.

He motions to her gauntlet, smiling at her.

"Show me more. I have nowhere else to be and even if I don't understand it I don't mind watching."

End here?

[conniemaheswaran]

"Alright!" Connie smiles at Nyx. If he was willing to let her ramble about her complicated, intricate, and occasionally boring process, Connie was more than willing to oblige. "So the primary problem here is the power channels. I could technically activate it now, but..."
