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.]

That's just for today. Most of the time, people here are just too busy to care.

[ Lean doesn't even try to match her level of excitement - he's not sure if he would be capable of that - but he awkwardly exchanges the handshake. ]

Lean. [ A small nod. ] I could show you around before you make any decisions. The guild masters don't take Asterisk changes lightly, so commitment is important.

[cidsgirl]

Right-O.

( She makes a fist prompted by her determination )

I've got tons of experience mixing items around, watching things explode and... coming across the odd dud here and there.

It's kinda my niche~

[piume]

[ As much as you genuinely wants to believe in their newest recruit, the mention of explosives does make him pause for a moment. Caution is an underestimated trait among Chemists, so he needs to make sure Rikku realises there's a bit more to it than making things go boom. ]

Do you happen to be familiar with healing potions? It's our primary subject of research, you see... many seem to forget that.

[ And as if right on cue, he's interrupted by a sound akin to a firework going off coming from a nearby table. ]

[cidsgirl]

( Rikku doesn't get the chance to answer, but, like, who cares with all of the excitement going on? She spins around to face where the sound came from, but the vicinity is clouded with smoke. )

Aw, man! ( She turns to Lean with a mischievous grin. ) Someone's in troooouble, huh?

[piume]

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.

[ Just because he knows how it usually goes from there. As soon as the smoke clears, there's nobody to be seen behind the station - the unfortunate Chemist probably didn't fancy being caught red-handed and ran off before anybody could see. As he's come to realise after all those years of living in the town, proud Ariteans would rather die than admit their mistakes, if his time at the university is anything to judge by. ]

Just what I thought. Well. [ He turns back to Rikku, motioning towards a large door in the far back. ] Maybe let's move to the garden while they clean things up.
