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

You don't look that old, honestly. And if you want to help, I'd be happy to spar and teach you what I know.

[ The offer is there at any rate. Corrin isn't greedy when it comes to helping others. ]

Okay. Here I come!

[ Which means Corrin takes off, darting forward. The way she holds a blade isn't really much like fencing, but that can't effect things too much, can it? ]

[Corrin seems to know her way around it, at the very least. Everyone does, actually--it's strange how familiar it feels in his hand, despite the fact that his experience in this regard is of the limited variety. But relevant techniques are another matter, and even if he's got a few basics down, he's still far from being a match against people with more experience wielding a one-handed blade. While he manages to parry most strikes, a few do slip through, and the motions of blocking still don't feel quite natural as he would when wielding a spear.]

...Hmm, you're quite good. [He says as he takes a few steps back after that exchange.] I take it you're not unused to wielding one-handed blades?

[Her movements could be faster, he thinks, but they were smooth enough for him to surmise some sort of background.]

[ To be fair, Jade isn't that bad either. Norhians in general are pretty aggressive - focused on powerful strikes. Ryoma's style relies more on speed.

But Corrin leaps back, a smile making it's way on her face despite how serious she takes sparring. ]

You'd be right. My brother, Xander, taught me how to use a sword.

[ Now, however, she wants to test the magic. It's different than using a tome, but the channeling of magicks still feels the same. ]
