Class was, once again, in the Danger Shop. There was absolutely no way to do today's class in the real world without fear of getting his ass sued. Loki might have been immortal but he wasn't fucking rich. Unfortunately.

"Most of us will only live once," Loki said, smiling at the assembled students. "And I don't want to get into religious beliefs on resurrection and second lives and that shit. Not here for that. For the most part, we'll only live once. And if we live boringly, it's going to get carried with us in the afterlife. You really want some schmuck who's been dead for fifty years to make fun of you for being boring? I fucking hope not."

Loki got the simulation going and smiled widely. "You're never going to have any fucking fun if you don't take risks. Some of you, I'm sure, are used to taking risks. Some of you are probably sticks in the mud who wouldn't know what risk was unless it was a fucking board game. Some of the risks are gonna pay off and some of them will probably have you eating pavement somewhere. How unfortunate. If that happens, pick yourself up and go on with your life. Don't fucking whine, it's so unbecoming. Today, today's all about taking risks. It's putting yourself through situations you typically wouldn't try because you can. It's amping yourself up, getting your fucking adrenaline going and realizing that being a fucking stick in the mud is boring. Boring as hell."

Wow, he sounded like he was giving a pep talk. Loki dialed it down a notch. "The sim is set up for a few situations. The first one? Running through traffic. Yes, there's one choice of trying to dodge traffic on a busy highway. See if you can do it. If you get hit, well, it's only pretend! There's another sim where you get behind the wheel of a car and play chicken with someone else. If you flinch first, you fail the sim. If the person driving the other car flinches? Way to fucking go. If neither of you flinches and you crash? Well, buckle up! Pick either and let's see how you take risks!"
