Harriet was looking solemn as the students arrived. Once everyone was seated, she stood up from behind her desk and smiled, though an astute observer might notice it was a little strained. "Welcome to the final class. When we started - and my, doesn't that seem like a long time ago? - I said that sometimes you have to make hard choices to try and do what's right. Hopefully some of what we've looked at might make that a bit easier. Today you get to put it into practice. It's really very simple." Harriet paused and looked at each student in turn, her hands clasped lightly together. "Survive," she said seriously.

After a long pause, she smiled brightly. "Only it's not quite so dire as that. All you have to do is make it safely to the end of the Oregon Trail." She gestured at the computers. "Weigh the options, balance the possible outcomes, decide what's most important and choose accordingly. You may work alone, or together, or even pair up and compete if you'd prefer. Most of all, think about what we've talked about, and have fun."

Harriet leaned back against her desk slightly as she looked around the room. "Thank you for being a wonderful class - two wonderful classes, in fact - of students. Wherever your futures take you, I'm certain you'll all be amazing, and I'll remember every one of you." She hesitated, then added, "And whatever happens here and now, I urge you to be patient and above all careful."

[ooc:

Please wait for OCD then

play the Oregon Trail! I promise and aver that the site is completely free of adware, spyware, viruses, and that your computer should take no harm from the game. (I make no such promises regarding your sanity - the thing can be bloody frustrating!) I've played it on all three of mine, and they're happy as can be. And seriously, thank you all for being a great couple of classes.]

[ETA: Anyone who's at cheer camp, consider Harriet having handwavily cleared their absence (mmm, alliteration).]

Naminé sat down and made herself a lovely party: herself, Valentine, Michelangelo (whose name abbreviated sadly to "Michelang"), Raphael, and Anemone.

She left in April, having taken a number of supplies from the very helpful seller, and every time someone got sick, she pulled the wagon over for three days' rest.

The second time Valentine got measles - following exhaustion and a broken leg - she laughed, and murmured under her breath, "I'm starting to think you're just doing this for attention, you know."

He promptly came down with typhoid, thus confirming her suspicions.

She arrived in October with all five members of her party in good health, and clapped her hands excitedly. "Oh, look! I've made the high scores list. This game wasn't so hard."

(OOC: no, seriously, I played as Naminé and somehow got all five people to Oregon alive, and in good health. I have never, ever managed that before in all my time playing. *fears her voodoo powers wtf*
