Who: All New Arrivals and Curti Center Staff
When: April 15th-30th
Where: All over Vaikuntha, starting outside of the airship hanger
What: Ganeshan, the resident Job Expert, will be taking the new arrivals around the the various Guilds so they can collect their chosen Job Asterisks as noted in their applications.
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.]

[Sparks Golsaucia- Dancer's Guild]

[She felt like she was home, marveling the feel of silk against her skin, welcoming the sound of the occasional jingle of gold adornments over her hips and ankles. She opted for a lavender color scheme, and had tossed her shoes to the wayside for now.

She gave the shawl a flip and nodded to her moogle, who in turn fluttered over to the performers and bid them give something of a drum beat. She'd promised to help advertise, after all, as she didn't even need to see the demonstration to slap her information all over the paperwork to receive her Asterisk. The lessons would begin later. But for now... well. Gotta shake what your mama gave ya.

Madhuri clapped twice and widened her stance, then neatly retrieved a pair of harmless scarves from her belt. As the music began, she tread out of the Guild light as a feather, trailing lavender and glimmering gold. Should you be passing by, she will happily land before you and begin the sway of her hips, her long black tail weaving through the air like a serpent.

Congrats. You've become the centerpiece in a dance, the tiefling making circles around and wordlessly inviting you to join in. With eyes that practically sparkle with mischief and a curved smile, it might be a little hard to resist.]

[The Royal City of Myste Aure- Bard's Guild]

[To get her hands on a guitar again, oh, what a delight. Did Madhuri all but throw her info and decide to take things on before the ink dried? Of course she did. Once a bard, always a bard. Once she took a good five minutes tuning everything just right, she did as she felt in her heart as she always did: She took to the streets. Everyone was so stressed, and bardic song was meant to make folks feel good. Damn good, even.

So off she goes, straightening her feathered cap before she joined a group of bards from the Guild to tread through the streets, voices lifted in song. Feel that tingle of power making the goosebumps rise? Oh, yes... perhaps now you can do just about anything.

Or perhaps it was the gaze the tiefling was giving you that's given a little extra punch of courage. Care to toss a few gil their way for their efforts? A bard's gotta eat, after all. ]

[Lavode- White Mage's Guild]

[Oh my, so busy...! More importantly, so exactly what she needed for her own soul. What was a tiefling to do, really, looking the way she did? She was grateful that she only got a couple of stares for her efforts, but when she penned in her information, there seemed to be a sense of relief all around her: Someone wanted to do good and give their aid to others, rather than run in to get yet another wound that needed closing.

It seemed Sir Macaron the moogle was all in, too. With a little mog-sized pen and notepad in hand, he fiercely took notes as Madhuri joined the shadowing, watching these folks struggling and groaning in pain ease and sigh as pale white magic began to close their wounds of staunch the bleeding. She turned to another in the group- perhaps you?- and didn't wish to interrupt the instruction:]

I have to wonder how they keep their outfits so pristine. Do they get cleaning magic as well, you think...?

[Hey, it's Madhuri, the singer! Tidus is quite happy to see her in action...but maybe she grabs his attention a little more completely than usual.

He's already feeling more comfortable with one new skill in progress, so ever the showoff, he performs an excessive series of flips. And then presents a tip, grandiosely. Because he just has to.]

Wow. You didn't show me that before. Guess that's the new magic, huh?

[She laughed openly, and adjusted the timing of her play for the flips, granting Tidus musical accompaniment. Seems he found his jobs just fine. It looked like everyone had some extra pep in their step without bardic help!]

Got it in one! It's good to have something familiar again, but greater still to see you again, Tidus. How do you fare of late?

[He has to applaud. She's too good.]

Great! I found what I wanted to do, so I've been hanging back and watching all the shows.

Pretty sure this one was my favorite so far. What did you think of 'em?

I thought they were wonderful. It's impressive how creative everyone is in how they show off their craft to those curious. Such passion in how direly they wish for fresh blood to add to their respective colleges...!

Though, I suppose there could be more pep back in the Dark Knight's Guild...

Ooh, I don't think I went in there. The Gourmand at the last one, though? Now that was a party.

[His priorities are very obvious.]

You done, or are you looking for another guild?

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the White Mage's guild. I haven't quite done any healing before, but I wager now's as good a time as any to begin, no?

Plus there's that too-good-to-resist juxtaposition of someone looking like me donning holy robes.

Yeah. I knew someone who was a healer---she saved all our butts more times than we could count. We could definitely use more of you.

[He tries to picture the robes.]

But I'm sure you'll look great. They've got choices, right?

Certainly. If it's not my style, I can always make my own. I've always been handy with a needle and thread... well, you have to, if you're on the road aplenty.

It doesn't do to perform when you've holes in your pants!

I can just see it. And with all the climbing we do?

But I'm sure you know how to make something last.

Oh, certainly! ...Except for socks. They bunch when you fix the holes and then all you feel is that little crinkle in the cotton.

Take it from me- dispose of your socks and stockings once they get a run or a hole. Some things just aren't worth the effort.

...With that wisdom...! [She curtsied.]

I've much singing to do and tomfoolery to get myself into. I trust you'll stay out of trouble, or are you the type to get up to no good with idle hands?

I'm pretty good at getting into trouble, but I'm getting better at staying out of it.

[He grins and waves.]

But I'll remember that. Thanks!

[S'reee hadn't heard much in the way of land-dweller music, so she was paying a great deal of attention to this, especially as she feels the power raised by the song. Most whales and dolphins stick to what they can do with their own voices, so the instruments are novel.]

Well sung!

[She will stop mid-step and stare, mouth open in a little 'o'. Is-... is this a little whale speaking to her? A talking whale? Well, how does one converse with a whale without showing offense in some fashion?

Blinking owlishly, she found herself dumbfounded for the first time in a long while.]

O-oh... thank you! I... huh. Forgive me, this is a first.

First non-humanoid?

Well, not- not exactly... I've only seen creatures like yourself in water. Can they all move through the air like that?

Only when we are wizards and can tell the air how to act like water. Or in this world, where we get an Illusionist asterisk.

Oho~ Well, I'm glad you're able to move as you are comfortable. What kind of world are you from?

One not that different than this one, save that wizardry isn't practiced openly among humans. And humans and their evolutionary cousins are the only ones with that particular shape, and they -- those of them who aren't wizards at least -- are less than aware of how intelligent those who share their home planet are.
