Long-Term Finance Class [Community Center, Thursday evening]

[texted3times]

Eric and Jack were back in front of the classroom again, and laptops had been placed on each person's desk. "Tonight we will work with a simulation that will let you experience the importance of making proper financial decisions without risking any real money," Eric said

Escape from Planet Knab!

[texted3times]

Feel free to talk to each other as you run through the pretty short, really simulation.

Oh, ffffffffft. Bo swore at least three times. Those would be the three years she was virtually stuck on Knab, before she figured out the right combinations.

What she was even doing here again, she'd probably have to think hard about before she could answer, considering last week it was pretty much an accident. But hell, it wasn't like she knew how long her species of whateverthefuck lived.

"Oh Balls," Isabela growled at the screen. Really, it'd taken her long enough to figure out what the fuck they were doing. (At least she could spy on other people.) And now she had a debt.

"How is that realistic? I'd have won that easily gambling."

Re: Escape from Planet Knab!

[smartestone]

Hermione wasn't exactly sure why she was back after the cheating at gambling last week, but she was, and once she heard what this class was about today, she thought maybe she'd judged it too quickly last week.

Maybe. As it turned out, the simulation wasn't going as well for her as she thought, and she was beginning to look downright worried as she watched the money. Specifically, how little she had of it.

Discussion!

[texted3times]

Did you make enough money to leave?

Re: Discussion!

[onapalebicycle]

George swore near the end of the simulation.

"I went for the less-risky investment, and the nicer home, and I got dick for it," she announced. "I even skipped my vacation and I ended up two grand short. This Knab place blows."

Re: Discussion!

[texted3times]

Eric looked ever so slightly sympathetic.

...for him.

"Which job did you pick?"

Re: Discussion!

[onapalebicycle]

"The ... one that paid more to start," George said. "The other one said you could get a raise, but ... I don't usually ... get raises."

It was good to know your limitations, wasn't it?

Talk with Jack and Eric!

[texted3times]

After class or before.

Someone who definitely wasn't in this class showed up after it was over, looking... mildly twitchy, but also cold in that way Mitchell could occasionally manage. "Eric," he said, 'We should talk."

Re: Talk with Jack and Eric!

[texted3times]

Eric quirked up an eyebrow, then nodded. "Jack, get lost," he demanded.

Grumbling to himself, the pirate left the classroom.

Re: Talk with Jack and Eric! == NFB

"Kate mentioned something about a weekend," Mitchell said, once the pirate had scattered.

OOC

How did I live without Google to teach me stuff?

Re: OOC

[nookiepowered]

On nicotine and wishful thinking? Wait, no, that's how a succubus who doesn't feed on humans lives.

Re: OOC

[smartestone]

Have you tried food?

Re: OOC

[nookiepowered]

Yes, but milkshakes don't fulfill the same...appetites.
