[ 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.

Perhaps it was because he was already out but it really was a wonder that Sheldon was participating in other part time jobs beyond the base of Deus. It could have also been that since he had already dealt with some small creatures today, it might be fitting to keep going. Into a pet shop that was clearly not a lab like the others. And seemed to have just so many fish. Which seemed to be the topic of the day. Or shop. Whatever.

Very odd looking fish in a very odd sort of setting. Sheldon did a slow blink as he looked at the floppy thing that had been placed into his hands upon entering and inquiring in so few words about the positions available.

He had to name it. The very exuberant man was insistent. "Fish." Was what he decided. It had only taken a second; it was simple and to the point and also didn't seem like the kind of name that would allow him to get attached (like he would).

It felt like he had been given the worst possible task to endure in order for his fish Fish to train for the tournament he was apparently supposed to take part in. It required so much physical activity and just taking the sides of the rope into his hand made him feel exhausted.

Sheldon was not a happy camper and did the worst possible jump rope jumps he could muster, the kind that were slow and arduous with neither foot lifting off the ground at the same time. Like he was skipping lamely with a rope in his hands.

Fish seemed to be enjoying it and having the time of his life. He was doing great! Maybe it was because it was just that slow.

There was barely a response as this Allen person conversed with him, except maybe a small sneer when he was patted on the back in the man's hapless efforts to get him excited for the last part of this job.

It was a futile effort really and Sheldon barely mouthed a "go" when it was time for their fish to take to the air and then flop to the merciless ground below. There was a large part of him impressed that the fish hadn't died on impact, that they had managed to survive such a feat without splattering to the ground. In fact they left little fish sized holes in the ground.

But despite all that, he had lost. And only by so little, which really was fine by him. (He had seen the prize, that fish really made him question things). He got to keep Fish though, which he was unsure about really. "Uh... thank you." And departed.
