Career Expo event [October 3-5th]

[wrnpcs]

[It's the Career Expo! Headmaster Cid thought it would be a good idea to let cadets have a chance to explore the different specializations provided by Garden. In the Quad, there are booths set up for each specialization. SeeD are manning each of the booths, and they all have little pamphlets and brochures regarding the specialization as well as little freebies such as lame awesome office supplies (think post-it notes, laser pointers, stress balls, frizzbies.) There's also a cotton candy and popcorn machine, just for the cool factor.

Come forth and explore the specializations, cadets!]

[Mod note: Subthreads have all been posted! Cadets are free to mingle around with each other or inquire NPC SeeDs about the specializations. Players are also welcome to create their own subthreads for general interaction in the Quad. Have fun!]

Comments

Weapons Specialist, ALL

[wrnpcs]

[All those interested in any of the weapons specializations should find themselves at this booth!]

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

[Luki's got a definite interest in gunblades. They are easily the coolest weapon she's ever seen, and that's counting her own knives that hs'es still quite fond of]

Hi! Are you going to demonstrate how to use weapons?

[zeroth-card.livejournal.com]

[Minato takes a look around the booth - while he prefers to just know enough about each weapon type, he has to admit there's something about being a gunblade specialist after the Commander's class.]

[Even if it's just a back-up specialization, Gwendolyn takes a look around this booth - maybe they'll also hint at some spear techniques unique to SeeDs.]

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

[What's the harm in more knowledge, especially when something completely foreign to the boy becomes readily available?]

So what makes all this stuff different from just a regular old sword?

[redcinemareel]

I'm using a chain whip and scythe. What do you have to offer?

[Right down to business! Grell's skeptical about them, and such a feeling is mirrored on his face. He's not sure if these people could convince him otherwise.

AAAnnnnnd, he'll just pick up a laser pointer, wondering what the hell it does.]

Para-Magics Specialist

[wrnpcs]

[If casting spells tickles your fancy, this is the booth for you!]

[eggplantallergy]

[He never thought he would need to go to something like a career fair in his life! He already has a career...back home. He's glowering on the inside about all this, but tries to maintain some composure and looks approachable--

Are those stress balls?! He's lured in by them, not imagining those being here! He's currently playing with a purple one.]

[zeroth-card.livejournal.com]

[Minato takes a look here - the way his Personae have been acting up, learning to apply para-magic more proficiently through them sounds intriguing.

Now if only there was a way to use mass buffs and debuffs through para-magic...]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[Hello, random SeeD. Tobias is going to be looking curiously at everything you've got there.]

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

You know, where I come from, magic takes years of study. Para-magic works, but it feels like cheating. Of course, the cast time of some of the advanced spells makes it worth looking into, even so...

Hello! [ Indicates the brochures. ] May I take one?

International Business

[wrnpcs]

[Got negotiation skills? Can you charm the pants off of anyone? If so, you might want to have a look here!]

International Business

[fierybluebird]

[Nibbling his blue cotton candy and shooting a look that clearly says "Okay sell this to me" and trying to keep it from being too challenging.]

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

[Bulla honestly hasn't given a lot of thought to her future, but she has at least considered one of her specialties. She's been pretty good at getting interest in clubs she's started up, so there is a chance she might be successful in business. It doesn't hurt to check out the booth]

Hi! So you can be a SeeD and still work in business? That's pretty cool.

[zeroth-card.livejournal.com]

[Honestly, International Business sounds more like something Mitsuru-senpai would go into, but Minato knows any of his friends might want him to take the lead again in the future, so it pays to keep that option open...

With that in mind, he leafs thru the pamphlets.]

[birdwhoseeks.livejournal.com]

[This is it, then: the specialization for leaders. Gwendolyn's self-imposed goal for her stay here.]

Excuse me, I wish to know more about what International Business requires. [she already has a pamphlet in hand, implying she'd prefer a more in-depth explanation]

Intelligence

[wrnpcs]

[Are you the brainy type that likes to stay behind the scenes? Maybe you're the right fit for Intelligence!]

Intelligence

[fierybluebird]

[Luckily with his glasses on, Marco IS the brainy behind the scenes type! And looking interestedly through the pamphlets.]

Covert Operations

[wrnpcs]

[Good at being sneaky? A great liar? Excellent at reading body language? Covert Operations wants you!]

[dangerousthings.livejournal.com]

[Luki doesn't really get what Covert Operations means exactly, but she is good at being sneaky and she's good at hunting people down in games of hide and go seek that can sometimes get violent. She tilts her head slightly to the side and regards the SeeDs at the booth curiously]

I'm the best at hide and go seek. Is that good for being in Covert Operations?

Piloting

[wrnpcs]

[Like driving fast? Ever wanted to pilot an airship? Maybe even a spaceship? If so, cruise on over to this booth!]

Piloting

[fierybluebird]

[Marco is starting blankly, trying to make process of it all. You'd think someone who could fly would get this somehow easier, but he could never even man a helm of a ship.]

Go on...

Battlefield Medicine

[wrnpcs]

[Always the one that people run to when they're hurt? Have a passion for biology, or an interest in the human body? Battlefield Medicine might just be your calling!]

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

[And here was stop number two on his list. Growing up with his brothers taught him a great deal of home remedies and natural cures, as well as the healing magic that seems as natural as breathing. It was good to keep his options open, after all.]

I can't say as I really know much on how people work, but I know how to make them better.

Computer Science

[wrnpcs]

[Are you a techie nerd? Do you dream in binary? Or maybe you just really like messing up other peoples' computers. If so, check out the Computer Science booth!]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell's picking pieces off his cotton candy, which he found so fascinating! It's cotton...but edible! And it melts in your mouth instantly! They didn't have any red flavor, so he opted for pink.

Waltzes over to the Computer Science booth (literally waltzing, with the cotton candy) and looks around at the people standing behind it. Such...greasy hair and bad skin! DO NOT WANT.]

...oh dear, we definitely need a fashion club.
