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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

KIDDILION
A) [Look, he only cares about one thing here. Getting magic back and getting back on track. Kiddilion is his main and most important stop. Kiddilion is not a great place for him though and any by standers can witness pick pockets get very disappointed at finding he has nothing useful. One manages to score something that might have been half a small animal or maybe just a really unfortunate looking piece of fruit at one point. Who knows. It's gross, BM is gross, everything about this is gross.

At one point BM will find his way on his own and back to the group sporting a brand new bloody knife! Whose blood it is might be uncertain but BM's not looking all that great so it's probably his.]

B) [At the Black Mage guild he's super impatient. He's just listening to the lecture and doesn't seem to care. He just wants the spells.]

Yes, yes. Basic elemental spells created by the chaotic energy that tries to rip it's way out of all existence. Got it. When do we start? Who do I buy them from?

[Oh, forms. Stupid forms. Black Mage gets to work filling them out in hopes to just get this over and done with! The moogle that's been trailing BM just sighs as he watches the wretch get to work.]

Could you be any more obvious?

[If you trailed BM all day you'd feel justified in being judgmental and condescending too.]

VON OKTAVIA
A) [Luckily, BM is short. Not quite short enough and his hat does keep bumping things. He's very, very cautious to keep it on and to keep his face shadowed. When light gets close to touching it sometimes someone might see something moving funny. Funny in a weird, stomach churning way. Probably best to let the little monster keep his hat.]

B) [He grits his teeth and listens to the bards playing. All these Dark Knights though have something he wants, the ability to murder! Or maybe it's just their name and the fact that someone in particular went Paladin. Black Mage signs up and though will accept that he has gear he should be wearing, he puts it off because that'd take time away from his true passion.

As he's scribbling his signature down, the moogle trailing him continues to mock.]

I was wrong, you can be more obvious. This is going to make you even more insufferable.

[Okuyasu kept close to the group, heeding Ganeshan's warning and deciding that risking his life to check out the shops was not worth it. He could always come back here for vacation when he had mastery of the Monk Asterisk. That'll show those muggers!

He hears someone shuffling behind him, and as he prepares a right hook, he stops to see one of the tour members looking like he's about to die.]you? [His eyes meet the knife.] Didja get in a fight?

[This is what happens when you split up, gang.]

It was kind of like fighting. Just like a child drowning is kind of swimming.

[Of course murdering a helpless individual still got Black Mage lightly shanked. So best not explain it as it's totally embarrassing and it admits he's still pretty useless.]

Also, is there a white mage in the house? No real reason, just wondering.

[He doesn't make the connection between that and Black Mage committing murder because this guy looks like he's about to die.]

Shit, did he cut an artery?

[No white mage, but Okuyasu ~~stole~~ received multiple first aid kits from the White Mage Guild open house tables. If Black Mage is going to die from those wounds, he has gauze ready.]

I think Ganeshan can fix you up. He's got that White Mage thing goin' on.

Is... Is Ganeshan cute?

[Most important thing when you might be bleeding out. Seriously, maybe the fact that BM is in such bad shape after trying to murder someone who wasn't even conscious at the time should be a sign. Not today though. Not today.]

Uh...

[He looks confused for a moment, because this really isn't the time.]

I dunno? I'm not into fish dudes. [Is BM even human? He could be a seal man underneath his hat.] So I can't tell ya?
