Game of Chance, Monday

[suitably_heroic]

Today, Atton had asked the class to meet up at Fast Eddie's. "Morning, class," he said. "You're going bowling. Go get your ugly shoes."

... Nobody could prove he was doing this to avoid another chicken-related embarrassment. Nobody. "I want you kids to look into the factors that lay beneath the concept of odds," he said. "Sure, chance is a big part of what we're looking into. But you can boost your chances in certain ways, and kill them in another."

He picked up a bowling ball. "I want you all to pick a partner," he said, "And keep track of their stats while you bowl. At the end of the class, share your stats. Would you bet on yourself based on those? Why are they the way they are, and what can you do to make them better?"

Peridot was basically going to lose the entire class period over here, trying to figure out shoes. She'd never worn a pair in her life, unless her limb enhancers counted. She had no need to know her shoe size, as every Era 2 Peridot was created equally, and shoelaces? What was even the point of shoelaces?

Getting shoes onto her feet that fit took basically the entire class hour, right there.
