Orion: “You sure it’s fair to discuss it while Patrick’s still at work?”

Tiave: “Oh come on, it’s not like he’s in any danger not to go to college! He’s swimming in scholarships. Let’s be real: the girls will have to stay home. Don’t worry, we’ll leave you some money. We four have more than enough.”

Loren: “I pass.”

Orion: “What?”

Loren: “You’re all a bunch of sociopaths and if I’m stuck with you any longer, I’ll go crazy. No thank you. If I pass, we can afford to pay the difference for one of the girls. I have a well-paying job and good prospects of being hired full time if I want to.”

Kestrel: “But the inheritance?”

Loren: “Yeah, sorry, but this whole thing is creeping me out. Reviving a man? This is the stuff horror movies are made of. I’ll just forget any of this here happened.”

Orion: “Swan should come with us.”

Kestrel: “Why not me?!”

Tiave: “Because she still has a job, duh! You don’t even make an effort to raise the damn money!”

Swan: “I will think about it.”

Tiave: “Well, good luck, Kestrel. Have fun becoming a suburban housewife. Suits your look just fine!” 

Swan NOOOO! Due to a bad chance card, Swan gets demoted to Mailroom Technician. Which is bad, because it’s…

…scholarship time! Loren, Tiave, Orion and Patrick are each eligible for three scholarships (SimCity Grant, Orphan Scholarship and Young Entrepreneur = 3250$), Kestrel and Swan for two (SimCity Grant and the Orphan Scholarship = 2500$). Unfortunately, as each Teen has to be able to raise 4000$ to cover tuition costs (1 term = 500$), this means that with the 3600$ they currently have (if nothing goes wrong, 3900$ tomorrow when they’ll leave for college), only four of the Tricou teens will be able to enter college.
