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.]

[ Amanda's eyes widen a little at the description - and a lot at the, um, sound. ]

Wow really feels just like home now.

[peninhand]

[ ... What kind of home was that. ]

... Your home sounds like quite the place to live in, heh?

[witchwithoutacause]

I know a girl who'd join that guild just to get some of that and then bail once she figured out how to make it herself.

[peninhand]

[ She laughed nervously. ]

Well, I don't think she could do that here if that's any relief. You need the asterisk to be able to concoct this powder, so she couldn't just leave and keep making more of it.

[witchwithoutacause]

I guess she'd have to follow the rules at least that far.

[ And then run off to some far corner and raise her mushroom zombie army. ]

You thinkin' of joining that one?

[peninhand]

I don't know, that Ghoul Powder thing kinda freaks me out...

[ Maybe... It could come in handy. ]

But the creepy stuff aside, it sounds like it could be a handy job.

[witchwithoutacause]

It sounds pretty nasty from out here.

[ Although she's seen some weird stuff. ]

All the jobs seem pretty useful, though, really. I think that's the idea.

[peninhand]

Ahaha, I suppose you're right. Besides if no one else take it, that would be advantageous for at least one of us to bear that burden.

[ An excuse as good as any. ]

[witchwithoutacause]

You say that, but if it's really too creepy for you then it's not worth 'bearing the burden' either. Do it if it's cool or it suits you or whatever. I won't judge.

[peninhand]

I guess I'll ponder some before we move to the next city. Thanks for the advises.

[witchwithoutacause]

[ Amanda holds up a fist. Pound it? ]

Name's Amanda.

[peninhand]

I'm Monika, nice to meet you.

[ And then nothing. What's that fist for anyway?

... Oh. After an uncomfortable delay, Monika does finally reciprocate embarrassingly. Right, that's how some people greet each other in the real world. Not really something she had ever done before. ]

[witchwithoutacause]

[ Amanda opens up her hand and waggles her fingers. ]

See? You got it. Nice to meet you.
