[ 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.

Ollie would have preferred a puppy, but he figured this was as close as he was going to get to an actual pet. Looking down at the stupid fish thrashing around in his arms, he tipped his head just slightly to one side and considered its vacant, wall-eyed expression, and a wicked smile flashed very briefly across his face as an idea came to him.

“I’m naming you Francis.” It was decisive, and amused, despite the fact that Ms. Francis wasn’t here to witness him naming the stupidest creature alive after her. Still, it pleased Ollie, and it meant that if something horrible happened to his new pet (something horrible always seemed to happen to the creatures they were given around here) he wouldn’t mind too terribly much.

He never, never did things by halves, did he? Ollie surveyed the equipment around to prepare his fish – the treadmill, the punching bag, assorted mats and jump ropes – and then his eyes settled on a massive boulder. It made a determined edge creep across his face as he crossed to it, not even pausing at any other equipment, to flop his poor floresce down next to it.

“Come on buddy, you can do this!” It was his best Hunter impression: pumping his fist as he said it to encourage his poor little mini to push itself, and hard. Ollie circled as it started to flop up against the bolder, pushing and straining and shoving and making not even a lick of progress against an immovable piece of stone. Still, Ollie shouted at it, and bounced next to it, and his enthusiasm must have infected the little fish because it worked its tiny fish heart out.

Assuming it hard a heart. Ollie didn’t stop to think about that part. He just cheered it on until it was so tired it lay still against the ground, body heaving with exertion and staring up at him with one big, round, flat, stupid eye. Then he crouched down to pat it on the side.

AMAZING effort, Francis.” Now, of course, he was gentler and nicer, gathering the floresce up into his arms. “You’re going to do so awesome.”

Francis: 126; Allen's fish: 36. WIN!


It was time to face off his dumb little fish against Allen, and something about the task left Ollie just a bit daunted. Maybe it was that Allen’s enthusiasm was enough to match his own, his determination impressive. It made Ollie lag a bit as he fell into step behind the man, still hugging Francis against his chest. It made him hesitate, just a touch, before putting the fish down in the Jumping Ground next to Allen’s.

And it shocked the hell out of him when, at the starting bell, his floresce practically flew up into the air, leaving Allen’s eating its dust. So to speak. To be fair, Allen looked surprised as well, a little bit impressed but mostly determined not to get this thoroughly creamed a second time. His words of congratulations and the offer of a prize before he left meant Ollie stood gaping after him, and up at Francis, unsure exactly what had just happened.
