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.]

Time and an active effort of exploring. Having these jobs will make that a little easier. [It hadn't seemed like a reaction to sudden change. But he lets that matter drop.]

Like I said on the network, I'm going to see what I can track down about that legend and the different versions. If scholars are really studying one version...that's a lead. One to follow up on when it isn't their exam time.

[despairing_hope]

That is a good start. Though, consulting the scholars is a good start, going to the source and researching as well is important.

Though, research focus should be on the ones that aren't studied as much.

[spaceforged]

I'm going to them to learn more about the studied version because of what the lesser told version says.

That girl...she said, 'I like the one where the heroes don't die.' [It bothers him. Coupled with the words said later on the network...

He has to find out if something bad is going to happen here and stop it.]

[despairing_hope]

Hmmm... then reading the one where the heroes don't die is the most important start.

[spaceforged]

It was. They might even let me compare them side by side. Have to see when I get there. Either way, it becomes a question of what does it mean that this ‘she’, the goddess of death might find us?
