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.]

[ Well heck she should've expected to see Tidus here right? ]

Tryin' to figure it out, at least.

[zanarkandian]

Hey, if you've got a question I can probably answer it. What's weird about it?

[Ugh, he just wants to jump in there and play! They should totally let them do an exhibition game, but he has a feeling they won't go for it.]

[witchwithoutacause]

I dunno, like, everything? Do they fill that whole thing up?

[zanarkandian]

Well...where I come from, our world's magic held that whole thing together. When the stadium's ready, it's a giant floating sphere of water. There are locker rooms near where the goals'll be that we swim in from.

[witchwithoutacause]

Huuuuh. So you just... hold your breath a long time?

[ Amanda's pretty good at that, but she'd need practice. ]

[zanarkandian]

Yeah. You've gotta slowly work your way up to a game, though---there's no getting around training for it.

[witchwithoutacause]

I'm in good enough shape...

[ She could seriously give it a try. ]

[zanarkandian]

[He gives her a look-over.]

Yeah. Okay, then we'll do a tryout! I'm gonna be taking a class on when the tour's over, but if I can find somewhere to practice now...we're in the middle of the ocean, there's gotta be water.

[witchwithoutacause]

...what, are we just swimming in what we're wearing?

[zanarkandian]

I do? Most blitz uniforms are designed to dry fast.

[It might not look like it, but...]

But if you want to grab something else, it's no problem. I'm sure they've gotta sell something.

[witchwithoutacause]

Mm, right, mine's not... exactly that. It wouldn't be a PROBLEM

[ Yelling at the sky. ]

if I could just use my WITCH MAGIC

[ She sounds annoyed. ]

on my clothes, but that's fine.

[zanarkandian]

I didn't see anyone using spells like that in the guilds, but man, that's annoying.

[He tries his best to look sympathetic.]

There's gotta be something here if it's the blitzball capital, though.

[witchwithoutacause]

Not like we're flush with cash either, so I guess I'll be looking for second-hand huh?

[ Scuffs her foot against the ground. ]

And yeah it's annoying.

[zanarkandian]

Hey, maybe it won't be that bad.

[He casually glances through a shop window or two.]

I'm really not good at this shopping thing, but that one looks like it might have something! Want to meet up a little later?

[witchwithoutacause]

It'll be a little bad.

[ But she'll deal. Or maybe she'll shoplift she's actually really good at that, do they have like, security stuff on clothes here? ]

I'll get it figured out, so yeah.
