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

[It's warm in Arito. The streets are clean, the cafes are many, and there's bound to be more giveaways at the Guilds. Okuyasu steps out of the airship with only hope in his heart, following Sakuya's lead on the tour.]

What's wrong?

[The Elezen and the oddly-dressed boy are easy targets for a group of Lalafell who make a beeline for the pair.]

They're... here...!!

[ He's so grim. So, so grim. ]

There's no escape. Prepare yourself!

I've been saving for that necklace for my girlfriend for ages and you know what she does right as I buy it! She dumps me on the spot! Well who cares! I'm going to find someone new! I totally don't care about all the gil I wasted on someone not worth it!

[ Sakuya looks to Okuyasu, who is probably extremely confused. ]

It's the holiday where everyone yells about their problems in public. How did I forget...!

[Indeed, he is confused as to why someone went up to him to complain about a girlfriend. What he understands is that his Lalafell is a jerk and needs to leave them alone.]

Seriously? Why'd they do somethin' like that?

Speaking of exes, my boyfriend never bothered to mention breaking up until he asked out another girl! How can someone's brain like that? Didn't he know that makes him look worse?

[The Lalafell woman groans while Okuyasu's eyes dart at Sakuya then back at her.]

Look, lady, I'm sorry about your relationship troubles but is this really--

[Their eyes shield immense fury when they glare at him.]
