Event || Worldwide Tourists

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.]

[Life is cruel. All he wanted was to save a few gil on an eraser, yet he must pay the price and face the ranting of two tired students. Is this truly what university life is about - complaining and dealing with terrible classes? If so, he's glad he's quitting after high school finding work. His poor brain would never handle this level of stress.

The Lalafell nods. Misery loves company, and having a target agree and vent with her heals her wounds.]


The tenure gets to their heads, they think they can do anything they want if they can't be kicked out. That's when they lose their soul and enjoy giving us a difficult time. Why else are we supposed to write essays every week?

[ Stressful as it is, Lean belongs to the rare category of students who actually enjoy this university life in almost all its darker aspects - including the tests. How else is he supposed to prove his prowess if not through careful examination? Nonetheless, whining remains an integral part of the whole process that even a prime student like him can't part with, strangely enough. In Arito at the very least, there is no better ice breaker than venting your school problems away.

Poor, poor Okuyasu. ]


Every week? I have reports due every other day. [ Which in hindsight is a bit ridiculous. He shakes his head. ] Do not even get me started on the overlapping class times - why are we expected to accommodate all these sudden changes? It's not like we can afford being in two places at the same time.

[ Unless...- Illusionist! Amazed by his own discovery, he makes a mental note to drop by their guild later... and also loses his train of thought a little bit. ]

So... yes. I would be grateful if you could include that in your report.

[The Lalafell nods vigorously.]

Every day? How do you stay awake? How does any of us stake awake? All this talk about higher learning is just a ploy to kill our souls! [She steps in closer.] Oh, we will write an anonymous letter, and it'll be a good one! Right?

[She turns to Okuyasu, who has been watching the exchange unsure what to do. Running would attract attention, but there is safety in numbers. He must return to the tour group, though his sudden pull into the conversation blocks his escape.]

Okay? Won't you get in trouble with the school? [He isn't aware how university functions differently from high school - big mistake.]

In trouble? So? If we don't die that'll be worth "getting in trouble". Does the faculty expect to run a factory where we're all little obedient students? Hah!

[Okuyasu clutches his eraser. He eyes Lean. He squints at the Lalafell, not answering but adjusting his stance as if he were ready to fight.]
piume: (( neutral ))

[ Lean returns the glance, quietly wishing the otherworlder would take a hint and play along - but he'll force his hand if necessary. Speaking of which, what is that he's so desperately clutching onto?

Looking back at the Lalafell, he makes a dismissive motion with his hand. ]


Hey, let's not fight one another. That's what they would want to divert your attention from the matters of the highest importance, and you don't want that, do you?

[ He allows the student a moment of self-reflection as he pretends to be checking something on his iMog slate. ]

Say, how about we meet up in fifteen minutes in that café around the corner? It's not like we can produce a worthwhile read on the spot. And, uh... in the meantime, I'll help him reunite with his group, since I think they're gone now.

[Such a wise thing to say. The Lalafell makes a small noise in response, slightly frustrating, but receptive to Lean's suggestion.]

That café would be a good place to find other people...

[To rant at, of course, while finding the energy to continue with the rest of the day. She turns to Okuyasu, unsure of how to deal with him.

He glares at her in return.]


You got a problem with me?
