[ JOB LISTING ] Pet Grooming
[ DIFFICULTY LEVEL ] gaia_star gaia_star
[ TASK ] You've been asked to help with the pet grooming. "They come to us so they can look their very best!"
It's easy. Just bathe and dress the pet.

Step 1: BATHING: Roll 1 d4 to see how the bathing goes. Match the roll to the number below.


  1. OH NO. This little critter is a feisty one. It snaps and barks and bites at you. "Aw, look at how excited it is to go to the PARTY!!!" Allen is standing over your shoulder. If you complain about the pet biting you, he places a hand on your shoulder and solemnly says, "Be strong. Let your battle spirit win him over."

  2. This little critter is not bitey at all, but boy-oh-boy, is it energetic. The moment you have it's fur all covered in soap it knows. It makes a break for it, slipping out of your grasp and across the store, a barking, soapy, wet ball of fur. "A noble steed!" You hear Allen yell from another direction.
    Roll 1 d6 until you roll even. When you roll even you catch the critter. For every odd you roll, Allen gives you a should of encouragement. "Keep trying! Defeat the evil of your doubt! Believe it!"

  3. You make it through the bathing okay, but as you turn your back to grab the towel, the critter jumps off the table and heads straight for an enclosure holding several snakes. Roll 1 d6 until you roll even. When you roll even you successfully rescue the beast from the snake enclosure. Every time you roll odd Allen gives you pep talk: "Believe in yourself! Believe in the me that believes in you!"

  4. No matter how hard you try, you can't seem to get this pet clean. If you tell Allen this, he will give you a speech about how what really matters is our heart. "Two hearts must beat as one. Once it's heart is clean, it's mind and body will be clean as well." He gives you a GREAT BIG BEAR HUG just to show you how it's done. You can't breathe. You think your ribs might be broken. "Now you know how much I believe in you!"
    You decide that maybe the pet is just the color of soot naturally.


Step 2: DRESSING UP: This part is simple. Choose an outfit for your critter from the pile at the grooming station.

Roll 1 d10 to see how hard of a time you have getting the pet into the costume. 1 is easy, 10 is very, very hard.
No matter your troubles - be assured Allen is there to yell encouraging words. "You can do this!" Really Allen, it's okay to not yell so loud.

Pet grooming had been a strange job to take on, Jude had thought, and once he saw the creature assigned to his care, he thought it was even weirder. In his imagination he'd pictured old ladies with sharpays -- and while this little beast bore some resemblance in its puffy body and cute little ears, the wildly swinging puff of a tail, he was still certain this was a different kind of monster entirely. Its teeth looked too sharp, and when he met its eyes (black as night, with a faint shine) he felt a low shudder down into the pit of his stomach.

He did not find it cute. Maybe someone else would have.

Still, he set to scrubbing it down, his sleeves rolled up and his head down. He ignored the bites, and the water that soaked the front of his shirt, aside from a vague grimace. At least he didn't object.

Once the little beast was clean and dry, toweled down until it puffed up into a ball, Jude looked at it balefully. Apparently, now, he was expected to put it in a costume, one chosen from a handful of adorable and annoying designs. Jude didn't really recognize any of them, so he just grabbed one at random, and then grabbed his critter, and then the fighting began.

He pulled the pants on with the monster yipping and growling and struggling the entire time, and when he moved to the shirt instead, somehow it wiggled out of the pants. Fighting down a snarl, Jude pushed and pulled and prodded and eventually he managed to get the beast dressed, even if it meant at the sacrifice of his own shirt -- now torn at the cuff. And maybe the animal's shirt was on backwards.

It was good enough. A job done just okay
