When: April 15th-30th
Where: All over Vaikuntha, starting outside of the airship hanger

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.]

Ahaha, thanks and I agree! It sets the mood too. Sometimes when I feel down, just listening or playing the right music can be enough to brighten my day a little. That's part of the reason why I started practicing. I wanted to play for someone in particular, but ah...

[ Well nevermind that, it'll never happen now. ]

How did you get that title, if you don't mind me asking? Silly or not, I can't imagine you were awarded such a title for no reason.

Well, where I'm from, there's a program where the government awards special privileges to students who happen to be pretty talented. I just happened to get one because of my talent with the piano.

I don't really get called it often though. [And she laughs awkwardly.] More people actually call me Piano Freak because I'd play the piano when I got bored and sometimes played it so much I'd forget to eat or to to bed!

[peninhand]

I can sympathize. I often got late to my club activities because I lost track of time while practicing.

[A pause.] I hope I can learn from you someday. I haven't had a lot of occasion to practice ever since we all arrived on this planet.

[conanima]

Hmmm.....well, maybe we can practice together. Maybe even play duets? That'd be a lot of fun!

[peninhand]

Ahaha~ That would be quite lovely, I'm looking forward to it.
