[ 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.

It wasn't too long later that Sheldon returned to the small pet store, completely diverted away from the grooming section once more and found his way towards where the large assortment of fish were. Waiting for patrons to come and train them in the silly outlandish little tournament.

The fish for this round would be ideally named Fishthree, for it was very conventional and practical to keep track of all of them that way.

Finally there was a location within the training area that made a small tiny bit of sense. In a way. Or at least didn't seem as ridiculous as several of the others that demanded a fish that was forced to be out of its natural element of water to hurl its weak body structure against an object in order for it to train for a jumping contest.

Sheldon might have just liked the idea of sitting down and closing his eyes. It was sort of like taking a nap, a deep serene sort of nap that concentrated on breathing. It was unclear how well a fish that flopped and wiggled would be able to handle such a feat - as he questioned each and every training exercise as it was already - but when he sat down and began to doze it seemed that Fishthree was going to handle it probably rather well. It didn't make a sound nor did it bother him.

What he was not expecting was to find Allen nearly nose to nose when he opened his eyes after a long stretch of time. If he was a more violent individual, he might have attempted to punch him in the face but all he did was jump in his seat, startled by the close proximity and then scowl.

Getting his hopes up of prevailing seemed futile, or even any of the smallest bit of interest. Failing twice had done that, Sheldon was rather sure his chances were going to be able the same. But as Fishthree jumped higher there was a little sparkle of maybe.

But in the end he had only lost by a small margin, making him frown. So close.
