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........]

[riverbeans]

And leave poor Gregor all alone up there?

[expiries]

Gregor put networking on his list of skills, he's like, a way better choice.

[verminous]

That doesn't mean I can make a speech!

[expiries]

It means you can do it better than me!

[...]

But if we both vote for Temenos he'll have two votes and we'll each only have one.

[verminous]

...say, that's a good point.

[writes temenos down]

[riverbeans]

We have other classmates, you realize. Besides, being voted for valedictorian might look good on your university applications.

[expiries]

Yeah, or on yours.

[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.]

[verminous]

I can't write a speech, anyway-

[also do you really want to subject him to NOT being voted for?]

[riverbeans]

Just speak from the heart, Greg! I'm sure it'll work out.

[verminous]

Speaking from the heart didn't work on Mutti when SOMEONE kept me out late the other week....

[riverbeans]

Skill issue.

[verminous]

I'm never sneaking out with you again.

...where are you going, anyway.

[riverbeans]

Aww, come on, Greg. You know, I found this really good place the other day... [At the question, she stops to think.] ... Good question.
