[ 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
    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
    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
    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
    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
    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
    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.

Of all the things to do on this dumb island, taking care of a fish seemed like one of the least boring. It was still dumb, but the last one had been fun. Well what counted as fun around here.

"You are Fish Ball." if it hat a gender, it didn't matter to Andrew. It got a name, good enough. Was that a small smile of affection on his face? No you were imagining it.

She had made it back to the pet shop, with all of the weird fish but, at least, she wasn't alone this time. Then again, it was that man from earlier...It was fine.

Nia thought there were few things she was incapable of handling; her companion was not one of those things.

Peering at her chosen fish, she debated what name she'd select. A long finger tapped her chin before she went, "Costia." The name wouldn't mean anything to anyone but herself, which was exactly how she preferred it.

Amber-eyed gaze flicked over to Andrew, her own lips curved in a strained smile. "What do you think will be the most effective tool for 'training'?" She asked, feeling as if it wouldn't hurt to make one attempt at conversation.

Oh she gave her fish an actual name. Ahh that was weird. Ok then. His was still fish ball.

"I like the treadmill." And that was totally just what Andrew picked for his Fish. He turned up the speed to a fairly fast pace and watched as the fish flopped all about the treadmill, trying to stay on top of it.

"They look so weird trying to do that." he laughed.

"Go faster you dumb fish ball."

The fish flopped along with no heed to Andrew's "encouragement".

Nia, personally, found the other hunter's station choice, well, peculiar, but didn't comment as such. How was a fish to run on a treadmill?

Well, to each their own, she mused.

For one brief minute, the dark haired woman watched Fish Ball flop about on the treadmill, with Andrew's encouragement at least keeping it on the thing it seemed.

"That's...not what I imagined, but yes, it's an amusing sight."

For her and Costia, however, she picked a jump rope, testing the weight of the handles in either hand. They were going to do this workout together, apparently, with Nia turning the rope and being mindful of the fish at her feet as it flopped and gasped with every turn of rope.

Their employer meandered by and told her to continue until 100, which was doable but...not idea. Oh well, she was committed.

"Keeping from stepping on Costia, was more difficult than imagined." Her nose wrinkled as she wiped sweat from her brow and returned the jump rope to it's proper place.

"Alright, moving on..."

Was she trying to jump rope with her fish? Andrew totally watched her for a bit too. But then he had to herd his own fish back on the tread mill. Finally he settled with giving his fish a treat for the effort.

"Alright Fishball, you do me proud." he whispered to the fish. For a moment he looked like he might even pet it till he suddenly remembered fish were gross and he wasn't touching that. Instead he stood up and coughed a bit before moving it to the jumping zone with Allen's fish.

"Fishball go." Fishball flopped. It wasn't super high but it was higher than allen's fish.

Andrew looked at her and smiled. "Can your fish beat that?" his attitude suggested he thought her's couldn't.

She stood back, after having joined Andrew and Allen in the right zones she watched, with hands folded behind her back and her head tilted just so, as their fish creatures jumped. Sure, neither were terribly impressive but she did offer Andrew a congratulatory smile when his fish bested the shop owners.

Stepping up for her turn with Costia, she let her polite smile twist into a haughtier smirk. "I guess we'll find out."

Costia looked a bit tuckered out, to her dismay (curse you Allen) and the jump was lackluster and, ultimately disappointing.

To Andrew, she looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes. "I suppose, this time, you've come out on top." She wasn't bitter or anything, nope.


[[28 total ): Allen and Andrew remain victorious]]
