fandomhigh | Young Entrepreneurs Club; Thursday 2pm -- 12/04.

There were plenty of donuts and coffee available in the classroom today, as well as a relatively somber atmosphere, because today, there would be talk over Very Important Things.

"Hey, guys," Turtle greeted the little club once everyone was there, "we're going to spend some time on the tents; I want them to be ready to be sold after next week's meeting, and, this week, I think everyone should start promotion and advertisement. If you have any questions about how we can do that, let me know, and we'll chat. The main focus for today, though, is going to be something that's very important for any young entrepreneur. I know we're all from very different worlds and places, so the economy of this world might not directly effect your world, but it does effect you while you're here, and it never hurts to know what to do in a situation like this."

"Our economy is officially in what's called a recession, which means a period of decreasing economic productivity. It's not good. People lose jobs, the money uses value, and things become scarcer, tighter. Bankruptcies, foreclosures, lots of really depressing stuff and it can be really hard for people, especially in the economic market, especially if you're a young entrepreneur just starting out."

And didn't have over twenty cool million sitting in a bank somewhere. Turtle cleared her throat, and pulled out a stack of papers.

"So I put these together, lists of tips for starting entrepreneurs during a recession. When there's an economic downward trend, it's us, the upstarts and the newcomers and the forward thinkers, that can really strive to put a dent in things and get it moving back up again. There's no time like now to try to step up. Have a look over these, put in some thought, and maybe you'll be inspired."

Turtle's going to avoid calling it a lecture. Ask questions or start up discussions if you'd like, toooo!

Ned bit his lip at the talk of the recession. Man, he hoped that thing was over when he graduated. Getting a loan would be impossible if it wasn't since he had no credit at the moment.

Work on tents, muse about advertising, or just enjoy your donuts and shoe-candy if you have any of that left.

Turtle sure doesn't.

Ned wondered if he could sell tents and tack on a free pie or two. Sort of an incentive to buying the tents. It made sense to him.

He thought about this while he started working on the tents and packaging.

Dor was doing his best to get the invisibility spells to bond to the tents but the whole thing seemed a bit faulty.

"...So how do you think the spells are going, Dor?" Turtle asked, albeit a little nervously.

"Um. Kind of... blinky," Dor replied. "I think these spells aren't at full strength. They'll only last a couple of minutes to an hour."

"Blinky?" Turtle asked, wondering if that was a technical term. She frowned thoughtfully at the tents a bit. "Well, I guess that'll be okay. I mean, if you need to be in a tent for over an hour, you need to just suck it up already, really."

"I guess," Dor said with a frown. "Though we probably should add a disclaimer on it."

"Disclaimers are good," Turtle nodded. "Something like, 'Due to the natural volatile nature of magic, the Young Entrepreneurs Club can offer no guarantee to the length of invisibility afford to any given tent at any given time.'"

There was a pause.

"In very small print."

"But how are they going to read it if it's really small?" Dor asked oh-so-innocently.

"Exactly."

Dor frowned at that a bit before shaking it off.

And then his eyes opened a little wider as if remembering something.

"Oh! That reminds me!" he said and picked up his pack and dug through it until he brought a small potion. "Here it is! Remember our conversation a ways back? I had Grundy find and send me a flying potion for you to use."

"We're launching these right in the middle of the holiday season. I figure we could get a good ad out there about using the tent to hide from family," Dick said.

"Ooh, I like!" Turtle nodded. "Too bad we couldn't have gotten them out for last weekend, though."

"Christmas works just as well as Thanksgiving," Dick said. "So we get a good second chance."

When Mister Deadpool tags in!

Deadpool was there and wondering about what flavours of margaritas women like best...

I kind of love how Ana's action-rallying song We Are (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jQEnt8aJ84) started playing as I was typing this post. I love when my playlist is TOPICAL.

Also, I giggle because I got it from a Harvey Dent fanmix.
