DAY 2

[riverbeans]

MORNING

[riverbeans]

[Hello... it is time to start thinking about which universities you want to go to! You have various options. Do you want to go to the local university so that you can stay near your family, even though it doesn't necessarily have any programs you're interested in? You could go to a farther, prestigious university. What about what your parent(s) want, or where your friends are going?

You'll have to decide for yourself what you value in your post-secondary education.

Also, while you're at it, it's time to nominate a class valedictorian, who'll be giving a speech at your graduation ceremony. Your classmates are putting up a list of potential names, where you'll vote on one afterwards.

Temenos looks at Arthur dead in the eye and writes his name on the board as a nomination. After a pause, Rodya shrugs and writes Gregor's name there too for funsies.]

VOTING

[riverbeans]

[Individually vote for a valedictorian candidate. This does not have to be Arthur or Gregor... I guess...]

[verminous]

don't worry jan he's actually voting for arthur he's just not saying so.

[riverbeans]

[this betrayal...]

[expiries]

votes for temenos unaware of the betrayal occurring above

[riverbeans]

[have fun with that speech, arthur.]

CHAT

[riverbeans]

[Discuss university plans, class valedictorian, etc. Again, this will be a FFA where I may jump in with your NPC classmates.]

[expiries]

[as he watches temenos write his name]

—Don't! I don't want to give a speech!

[riverbeans]

Oh? I think you'd be quite good at it, though. I'm sure everyone's curious as to what you'd have to say.

[expiries]

Please cross it out.

[his (definitely a) teenager stage fright....... wow........]

[verminous]

Rodya! C'mon, that ain't funny.

[no way this will work.]

[riverbeans]

I think it's kind of funny, actually... [rodya is unmoved by your plight, gregor.]

VOTE RESULT

[riverbeans]

[I wasn't originally going to do this but given someone's BETRAYAL, if you want to react—

Wow, Arthur is voted as class valedictorian. Congrats!]

[expiries]

[ET TU GREGOR]

[verminous]

-hey, congrats~ It'll look great on the resume, right?

[expiries]

Dude! What the hell!

LUNCHTIME

[riverbeans]

[After the vote result that I may have put in the slightly wrong place...

Today, for lunch, your class is... having a pizza party! One of your classmates is feeling generous and providing for the class. Sorry, Arthur, you're not going on that date today. But also, theoretically, these days are not happening literally consecutively so you could've gone on a date with her by now...? Anyway.

They'll get about two different pizzas, keeping in mind people's preferences. What kind of pizza do you two like...

As everyone eats, hanging around the classroom, chatter among your friends starts up.]

You know what we should do right after we graduate? Have a graduation trip! Aren't those pretty standard?

Ah, that sounds like a fun idea. I'd be interested.

As long as it's not too expensive, I'm in.

Yeah, sure. Sounds like fun. Where to? [as i start to struggle keeping track of who your classmates are but anyway]

A casino! [You should probably not go to a casino for a graduation trip.

Still, a trip does sound like fun. You do get along well with your little group of classmates—you think of this year's cultural festival. At first, not a lot of people were enthusiastic, given how tiring senior year is without worrying about the silly things, but in the end, it was pretty fun. Your class did a maid/butler cafe. (You just try not to think about how it was the girls as butlers and the boys as maids.)]

[expiries]

[have us leave this cyoa in maid costumes jan you coward

anyways]

Is a casino really a good idea...?

[verminous]

We're not going to a-- not all of us are even going to be eighteen!

[things that are so funny coming from a 35 year old man actually

gregor's pizza preference is beef and onion for the record and DO IT JAN I CONCUR

[riverbeans]

[:thinking:]

Then you two can come up with something!

SWIMMING COMPETITION

[riverbeans]

[You've got your graduation trip sorted out, and the rest of the school day goes by uneventfully.

But after school, you've got a swimming competition! Again, I must stress I don't know how swimming competitions work. One step on your road to the nationals. You'll be swimming in the order of Lovelace, Sinclair, Arthur, Gregor.

Lovelace nails her part of the relay, beating her opponent easily. Unfortunately, the momentum is lost with Sinclair, who loses to his.

Next up... You can chat a bit before doing your part of the competition if you want, but also, do a roll when you're up.]

[expiries]

[he's mediocre......... again...........]

[verminous]

[it can always get worse!

gregor had a sudden and severe leg cramp or something i rolled ANOTHER 1]

[riverbeans]

[Oh my god.

Arthur is mediocre with a 10, while his opponent fares better than him with a 15.

It probably goes without saying that Gregor, who barely succeeds in swimming at all, does not beat his opponent despite his opponent being a mediocre 11.

Lovelace looks like she wants to die. Thankfully, she did so well that somehow she compensates for all of your losses, because I cannot actually cancel your nationals, so your team wins... just barely... JUST BARELY!!!]

You two almost gave me a heart attack. You're going to do better in nationals, right?
