Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ JOB LISTING ] Floresce Care Training
[ DIFFICULTY LEVEL ] gaia_star gaia_star gaia_star
[ TASK ] You are told that you need to train the floresce. Train them how? you might ask? "WITH A TRAINING COURSE, OF COURSE!"

You are handed a large and probably orange Floresce. Your job is to take it to the Pet Gym in the corner of the shop. "Help it become the GREATEST fForesce it can be!!" The Floresce flails in your arms, it's great eyes not betraying it's thoughts as you carry it to the workout space.

The training is actually pretty simple! The fish know what to do!! (This seems to be a very common activity around here.)

This is a Three-Part Job. Step one is NAMING, Step two is TRAINING, Step three is TOURNEY!!

Follow each step below.


STEP 1: NAMING: NAME YOUR FLORESCE. This is very, very, very important. Please bold your fish's name in your first post.



STEP 2: TRAINING:Roll 2 d6. The first dice is the training method you'll be using, and the second dice is the fish's effort! (So if I roll a 1, 4 - I go to Workout Station 1, and my Floresce gave an Effort of GREAT!)

1. Workout Station 1: The Uphill Treadmill
   show spoilerhide spoiler

   It's one of those treadmills that simulates walking up a hill. Put the floresce on it, and turn it on. Watch as the floresce flops and flails it's way along the belt! More than once while the floresce is flailing along Allen stops by to tell you, "TURN IT UP! Faster! Stronger! Harder!"
   
   When the floresce grows tired, turn off the machine and give it some tasty Floresce Food!
   
   
   
2. Workout Station 2: The Punching Bag
   show spoilerhide spoiler

   There is a great big leather punching bag. It looks pretty worn out. Simply stand back and let the floresce tackle the heck out of the thing!
   
   Allen stops by to check on you. "Encourage it more! *PET NAME HERE*! Come on! One, two! One, two!" He throws a few punches of his own as demonstration before running off to help someone else.
   
   
   
3. Workout Station 3: The Jump Rope
   show spoilerhide spoiler

   This is a workout for both YOU AND THE FLORESCE. YOU GET TO JUMP ROPE TOGETHER. It's fun. It's healthy. Please spend a lot of time jumping rope together!!! LIKE THIS!
   
   "Good Job!" Allen says when he stops by. "Keep going until you hit 100 jumps!" If you are being sluggish about it - he'll gladly show you how it's done.
   
   
   
4. Workout Station 4: The High Jump
   show spoilerhide spoiler

   A thin red-and-white bar is held aloft by two posts. On the opposite side is a cushion, and the near side nothing but a small platform. The Floresce simply jumps - and you raise the bar higher and higher until it can't jump over it anymore.

   ...
   OH NOOOOOO. In the middle of a jump - an escaped bird came by and STOLE YOUR FLORESCE. Goodbye fish!! ;-;
   
   
   
   Allen pats you on the back. "We always remember the Fallen Floresce in our hearts." He is quiet for a moment, his gaze distant as if remembering old friends long since passed from this world. Then his very determined eyes look back at you. "Get a new Floresce. Start over! Never give up!" He leaves you with a hearty pat on the shoulder.
   
   --Go back to Step One with a new Floresce
   
   
   
   
   
5. Workout Station 5: The Boulder Push
   show spoilerhide spoiler

   Yes, that IS a giant boulder. Yes, the Floresce is going to flail itself at it to see how far it can move the boulder. You don't think it's going to move very much, no matter how much effort your Floresce puts into it.
   
   Allan will stop by to show it how it's done. "Like this! Hi-ya!" His kick to the boulder will certainly crack it.
   
   
   
   
6. Workout Station 6: Mental Training
   show spoilerhide spoiler

   A strong mind is just as important as a strong body! Take your floresce to the meditation corner and sit down with them. Get comfortable, close your eyes, and breathe in and breathe out. Breath in.... breathe out... Let your mind clear itself.... With each breath, tell yourself that YOU are the strongest. You and your fish ARE the strongest team..... When you are ready, simply let yourself come back to the here and now. You feel refreshed.
   Your Floresce flops quietly next to you the whole time. It has no eyelids to close.
   
   When you move to get up from your meditation, you realize Allen has been sitting next to you for.. you don't know how long. "Feeling stronger yet?" The grin on his face make you worry he's about to challenge you to something.
   
   

--Now that training is over it's time to look at your floresce's EFFORT:
**Effort Roll (second dice):**
1, 2, 3 = Good Effort. +10 to your Tourney Roll
4, 5 = Great Effort! +20 to your Tourney Roll
6 = AMAZING Effort!! +30 to your Tourney Roll




STEP 3: TOURNEY
The whole point of training is to prepare your fForesce for the JUMPING CHAMPIONSHIPS!! Now that you've successfully completed some training, it's time to test your mettle against Allen and his Very Strong Floresce!!
"Are you ready?" Allen asks. His face is nothing short of determined. "My Fish and I will pour our heart into this match. I expect you to, as well." The friendly pat on your back nearly sense you flying. "Let's go," he says, leading you to the Jumping Ground.

Roll 2 d100. The first die is how high YOUR fish jumped, the second is how his ALLEN'S fish jumped. Whoever Jumped the Highest is the WINNER!! (Remember to add your fish's EFFORT to your roll!)
(Example: I roll 21, 33. My fish had Great effort for +20 -- so the final score is My fish 21+20 = 41 vs. Allen's fish 33. I win!)

If you DEFEAT ALLEN - He seems pretty impressed but it looks like him and his Floresce are planning to work harder. He gives you a cheerleading fish of a random colour as a prize. Wait... there feels something off about it...

If you LOSE - Allan congratulates you, and hands you your Floresce, and you move on your way. He seems pretty happy he won.

It was late but luckily the minipet petshop was open late. She waved at the owner as she entered and picked out a fish. "you shall be Marvin." She declared. As she moved closer to the training area she noticed another hunter. "Ah good evening." She said politely being sure not to make a comment about the other's lack of cloths. It was a good horseman disguise after all, since the horseman couldn't seem to figure out how humans dressed which was hilarious.

"Yup! Its super fun. You entering Pedro?" She asked as she grabbed the jump rope she was supposed to train her fish with and being the 100 jumps she and her fish had to do together.

"Yup! Go big or go home!" She grabbed a bottle of water and downed half of it once she finished jumping rope. "Now it's time to face Allen!" She cheered flagging the shop owner down for the fish face off.

She waved to Pedro as she set Marvin down in the ring, eagerly waiting to see the fruits of her effort. She had worked with this fish, she had sweated with this fish. They where bonded! Marvin did an amazing job jumping much higher than most people would think a fish was able too jump. Chao wasn't sure if it was higher or lower than Blubs' jump, he was the first winning fish she had.

"Yes!" She cheered grinning as Allen handed her a weird fish in a dress.

"Good Luck Pedro!" She cheered from the sidelines, holding both her fish as she watched him and his fish prepare for their big jump fight.

Good Effort. +10 to your Tourney Roll
