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.]

A dragon?! [ Hunk's eyes go wide like dinner plates and he lets out a whooping cackle of excitement. ] That's so cool, Ena! And fireballs, and invisibility, and...

[ He pauses for a moment, in deep, deep thought. ] Yeah, my friend Allura revived a dying, sentient planet. And that was great and she's awesome for it. But your magic is cooler.

[ The razzle-dazzle factor is just undeniable. And turning into a dragon? Awesome!! ]

[ :') She's incredibly proud of her feats for a moment, thinking about how she might possibly get her hands on a spellbook from somewhere so she can demonstrate to him sometime, but then the reminder that all of her natural magical prowess had been stripped of her creeps into her mind, and the subsequent rage swells in her chest... But she manages to calm herself before it reaches her head, her eyes. She takes a deep breath and smiles a bit. ]

Your friend's powers sound much more altruistic, much more noble than mine. I don't heal; I am lost when it comes to aiding others, much less a planet. You should give her my regards when... if you have the chance.

Psh, noble magic. [ Hunk scoffed at the idea. Ena's magic is shinier and cooler, and he will accept no dissent. ] It's just a matter of how you use it! A fireball can cook a ton of food, or take out an angry monster.

[ But he shrugged. As a mechanic and chef, he found himself coming up with new ways to use some of the things around him. ] At least you can do a bunch of cool stuff- Allura's magic seems kind of... situational? And it takes a lot out of her.

[ Hunk knew that when he'd have the chance, he'd tell Allura all about Ena's awesome, dragon-and-fireballs sort of magic. Or maybe they'd get to talk about it themselves. ]
