Careers something something whatever [Friday, period 1]

Today, the students met once again in the mindfuck room, which Cheryl had (somehow) programmed to look like an expansive, luxurious mansion. Careful observers may have noticed that the portrait on the wall had at least one pretty familiar face, though she wasn't wearing her tiara now.

"Hi nerds, welcome to my house," Cheryl said, welcomingly. "Or, like, what my house in Manhattan looks like, anyway. House-mirage. Anyway, today we're gonna learn about how to be heiresses. I know it might look easy, but it's super-not. You have to dress well, you have to develop a persona, and you have to find a fellow rich person to support you in case your money ever runs out. Which mine won't, but still."

She gestured over to where there were racks and racks of moddable very elegant clothing. "Make yourselves look fabulous, like heiresses. And then your assignment this week is to develop an eccentric heiress persona. Are you some charitable dumbfuck? Are you like Paris Hilton and you're gonna need a purse-dog? Are you a stunning railroad tycooness who works as a secretary to keep her overstimulated brain from telling her to set her ocelot on her students?"

At that moment, there was a roar from elsewhere in the house. "Speaking of, he's here. My pet ocelot. Or else that was Pam. She wandered off, too." Pause, frown, and then, "I hope they don't run into each other. Or get lost in our Underground Railroad tunnels. Or run into each other in our Underground Railroad tunnels. Oh, wait, yes I do, that sounds awesome."

"I've always wanted a knee-length black coat like this," Anders confessed, with a little laugh. "I wonder if I could smuggle it out."

"I don't think it exists outside of this room," Kathy said. "But I won't tell if you won't."

She looked at a few of the dresses she'd singled out and sighed. "I half wish we could, though. Not that I'd ever have the nerve to wear them in real life."

Since Anders was fully dressed and, for once, Kathy was wearing something her father wouldn't murder her over, she fully came around and struck a quick pose. "I'm pretty sure my pants are cooler, though."

"Yours have stars. Mine have a crotch around my knees," Anders observed. "If cooler is good, I'd say yours are definitely cooler."

"'Cool' is good," Kathy said, rather tickled at the idea of being able to instruct anyone in slang. "Unless you're specifically talking about temperature, anything cool is interesting, exciting, or fun."

She gave him a goofy little smile and flashed him a victory sign. "And who thought you might actually learn anything useful in this class today, huh?"
