<</nobr>>Sunlight filters through your window. It's your last day of class for the week-- you might as well end it off with a bang. You pretend you didn't get less than 6 hours of sleep today and groggily make your way to your bathroom.
<br><br>

You hop in your car, phone connected to the radio, as you scroll through your playlists. <br><br>
No, too depressing... too energetic... well, that would be the mood for your commute, but you've overplayed that album, so you're a little sick of it now. <br><br>
Undecided, you eventually settle on your 'daylist' and don't think about it too much as you drive, watching the historic university come into view.<br><br>
<<case "Middle-class">>
You wait for your car to run, wondering if this is the day your babygirl finally calls it quits.<br><br>
You hold your breath...<br><br>
<i>Brrrrr...</i><br><br>
You let out a sigh of relief, patting the steering wheel of your car, as if it'll register the bit of affection, then drive. Soon, you see the university campus come into view.<br><br>
<<case "Lower-class">>
You feel a little ridiculous, running down the block to the bus stop with a piece of toast in your mouth. Still, you manage to catch the doors right before they close, and you scan you bus pass with the glee only comparable to getting an email saying that class is cancelled.<br><br>
Speaking of which...<br><br>
You take a seat, popping your headphones in. You pull up your music app of choice, rolling your eyes when the advertisements pop up before you even get to listen to a song. You stare out the window, watching as your community college comes into view.<br><br>

- going out for the night You dragging yourself to your first class of the day. As you wait for the professor to come in, you go through your emails. There's nothing of note, really-- just a handful of school events. You consider your schedule.
<<switch $class>>
<<case "Upper-class">><br><br>
You should be able to go. It'll be fun--it's downtown, so you could browse the shops in that area and see if anything catches your eye. You make plans to check in with your internship and see if you have anything to do.
<<case "Middle-class">><br><br>
You should be able to go. You'd probably have to watch your wallet a little, but a little treat never hurt.
<<case "Lower-class">><br><br>
You're not really sure if you can afford to consider going out. You're already subsisting off of instant meals more often than you feel comfortable-- not to mention the fact that you have <i>work</i>.
<</switch>>
<<if $gender isnot "Man">><br><br>
It's late at night though, and you're not too keen on going alone. You make a mental note to check who you can drag along with you.
<</if>>
<br><br>
You force yourself to look at the front as class starts in full. You've played with fire (not paying attention) before, and you're not looking to get burned (being faced with a quiz you didn't study for). There's something about a group project, and you can feel the resignation in your class when your professor tells you that the groups are already assigned.
<br><br>
You shuffle towards your group, introductions going around<<if $gender is "Woman">>, trying not to feel awkward about being the only 'girl' there<</if>>. There are a few ideas tossed between class,<<if $gender isnot "Man">> though you feel a prickle of annoyance when they repeat what you said, but louder. Luckily, one of your groupmates notices and asks you for your thoughts.<<else>> and you notice the one girl in your group is quiet.
<br><br>"Got any ideas?" you ask, and it takes her a second to respond. She gives some good thoughts you hadn't considered.
<</if>>
<br><br>
[[Next.|Day 1 - Afternoon]]<<switch $class>>
<<case "Upper-class", "Middle-class">>
You linger around campus after class, not having anything immediate taking your attention.<br>
(Well, you have assignments to do. But you pretend you don't <3.)<br><br>
You grab a bite to eat when you hear your name called out.
<<include "D1 LUNCH">>
<<case "Lower-class">>
Your brain is fried. Unfortunately, the world goes 'round regardless of whether you want to or not.
<br><br>
Without much fanfare, you drive to work...
<<include "lb">>
<<include "D1 WORK">>
<</switch>>
<br><br>
[[Next.|Day 1 - Night]]Work is uneventful. <br><br>
Of course, there's the work itself. It's not really something you're particularly passionate about, but money is money, even it <i>is</i> minimum wage.<br><br>
"Busy bee today, huh?"<br><br>
You turn around, customer service smile turning a little more genuine<<if $sexuality isnot "Aro/Ace">>, and your cheeks a little flushed<</if>>. "Hey Charlie. the usual?"<br><br>
"You know it."<br><br>
You make Charlie's drink. You debate whether you should say something about the even <<if $sexuality isnot "Aro/Ace", "Straight">>You're sure Charlie isn't the judgemental type, but you don't want to make things <i>weird</i> between you two.<</if>> "There's some sort of event happening downtown. I was wondering if you'd want to check it out?"<br><br>
"Oh, yeah, I spotted that around campus earlier." Charlie nods as you hand over 'the usual'. "I'd be so down to go! Text me the details when you clock out?"<br><br>
"Will do." You give a thumbs up. <<if $sexuality isnot "Aro/Ace">> You hope your forced nonchalance isn't obvious.<</if>> "See you later.""Hey Charlie," you greet, smiling. <br><br>
Charlie smiles back, taking a seat next to you. <<if $sexuality isnot "Aro/Ace">>Your mind immediately goes blank, mouth drying up as you register the fact that words being said to you.<</if>> "Mind if I take some?"<br><br>
"Knock yourself out." <br><br>
Charlie picks at your food. You watch, a little amused. <<if $sexuality isnot "Aro/Ace">>Maybe even a little fond.<</if>><br><br>
"Hey, Charlie? Are you doing anything this weekend?"<br><br>
"Mm... no, I don't think so. Why?" <br><br>
<<if $sexuality isnot "Aro/Ace" and $sexuality isnot "Straight">>There's an irrational sort of worry you have to shake off. Charlie's one of the nicest people you know, but still you wonder if it's <i>safe</i>.<</if>> "There's some sort of event happening downtown. I was wondering if you'd want to check it out?"<br><br>
"Oh, yeah, I've seen it! Yeah, I'm down!"<br><br>
You grin, relieved. It'd be a little lame if you went on your own anyway.You get home and flop onto to your couch. You're drained enough to consider take out... <br><br>
<<switch $class>>
<<case "Upper-class">>
It's not even a debate. You pull up the website to one of your favorite food places and order.<br><br>
It's midway through one of your favorite episodes of your favorite door when you hear the doorbell ring. You thank the delivery person and give a generous tip, eager to dig in.<br><br>
Damn. That really hit. You should take your friends out to that place.
You head to your bathroom, doing your nightly routine, and unceremoniously pass out.
<<case "Middle-class">>
You're tempted. You really, really are. But you're already planning to spend a little more than you usually do during that event downtown.. Something cheap, maybe?<br><br>
<<if $race is "White">>
In 'n Out it is. God bless you live in a world with Uber Eats.<br><br>
It's midway through one of your favorite episodes of your favorite door when you hear the doorbell ring. You thank the delivery person and give a generous tip, eager to dig in.<br><br>
<<else>>
Tempting. But you have leftovers at home, and you can distantly imagine your parents telling you not to waste food.<br><br>
Ughhh.<br><br>
Well, it's not too bad. You've been eating out too much anyways-- it's nice to eat food that reminds you of home.
<</if>>
You head to your bathroom, doing your nightly routine, and unceremoniously pass out.
<<case "Lower-class">>
It's not even a debate. You toss your phone off to the side, making sure that the devil of Uber Eats isn't whispering in your ear.<br><br>
There's gotta be something in your fridge, surely...<br><br>
...<br><br>
You have a luxurious meal of instant ramen. You debate adding an egg in, too, before you remember you don't any eggs. <br><br>
Damn.<br><br>
You head to your bathroom, doing your nightly routine, and unceremoniously pass out.
<</switch>>
<br><br>
[[Next day.|Day 2 - Morning]]You wake up, briefly confused why it's so quiet...<br><br>
You grab at your phone, squinting at the time displayed. It's an hour before you usually wake up-- not to mention, you don't have classes to wake up early <i>for</i>.<br><br>
You groan.<br><br>
Your morning routine is the same as yesterday. <<if $sex is "Female">>Well, mostly-- you have to make sure your lower half isn't trying to reenact jaws first. <</if>> You notice you're running low on the bath products you usually use.
<<if $race isnot "White">>
<<switch $class>>
<<case "Upper-class">>
Luckily, you've got the site where you usually order your stuff bookmarked. You can probably order your products before getting groceries.
<<case "Middle-class">>
You debate whether you should just go and get general brand-name shampoo and conditioner, or whether you should go out of your way to get something that works for your hair better...
Well, you might have plans to go out. Something nice it is.
<<case "Lower-class">>
You sort of wish you had products that worked better with your hair. Unfortunately, you're stuck with whatever Walmart's got.
<</switch>>
<<else>>
<<switch $class>>
<<case "Upper-class">>
Luckily, you've got the site where you usually order your stuff bookmarked. You can probably order your products before relaxing the rest of the day.
<<case "Middle-class">>
You decide to splurge a bit on something nicer later. You *are* going out this weekend, why not?
<<case "Lower-class">>
You wonder if there's anything to get at Walmart while you're there. You opt to make a grocery list on the commute.
<</switch>>
<</if>>
<br><br>
You go back to your room and get dressed, before heading out the door.
<<if $cis isnot true>> You immediately feel <i>off</i> You go back in and change, your new outfit more comfortable. You leave home happier.<</if>><br><br>

It's quiet in your area of town. You take a deep breath in and appreciate it, before you head out.<br><br>

You wrinkle your nose at the gas prices as you fill up your tank before you head to campus. Still, your car needs juice to run...<br><br>
You yawn as you hear the click of the nozzle shutting off. <<if $gender is "Woman">>Just in time, too. You're not sure if it's in your head or not, but you think that the guy on the other pump is staring at you. Eugh.<</if>><br><br>
It's only when you pull away that you think you should've gotten something to snack on at the convencince store. It would've kept you there longer, but at least you'd have something in your stomach.<br><br>
<<case "Lower-class">>
You're toastless today. Like yesterday, you put your headphones in-- and you're immediately startled when your phone begins to blare out in alarm. You look around, watching a few other people's phones go off.<br><br>
You finally decide to look at your screen, a missing person alert sounding off around where you live. You frown, the alert lingering in your mind even when it clears away and you play your music again.<br><br>
<</switch>>
[[Next.|Day 2 - Shopping]]You make your way to the store without any more fanfare. <<if $class is "Upper-class">> It didn't take long to order your bath products online, but you still do have to go grocery shopping, after all. <<else>>You gleefully pick at some of the free samples they have out, maybe you'll even get it later...<</if>><br><br>
You fill up your cart and make your way to the line. Threre's a little kid in front of you, clinging to their mom. You give him a little wave.<br><br>
<<if $race isnot "White" >>
The kid stares at you as if he's never seen someone like you before. After a second, the kid clings to his mother. You try and smile more politely, but it doesn't seem to do much...<br><br>
Their mother notices, pulling their kid closer, before shooting you an apologetic glance. "I'm so sorry-- we moved here recently from a more conservative city and he's still not very used to seeing..."<br><br>
"It's alright, I get it." You look at the boy again, seeing the toy in his hand. "Is he a big fan of superheroes?" <br><br>
The mother opens her mouth, before closing it. She gently nudges her son, who look up at you nervously. "Yeah..."<br><br>
"Me too," you say. You briefly talk about your favorite superhero, which seems to draw him out of his shell a little more. <br><br>
<<else>>
The little kid waves back, making his little toy wave with him. <br><br>
<</if>>
It's not long until his mother finishes paying for groceries. He gives a shy, but happy little wave as he leaves with his mother.<br><br>
[[Next.|Day 2 - Afternoon]]
You decide to get a drink from the coffee shop by the store before you head home and relax. To your surprise, you see another friend of yours there.

Well, there's nothing too pressing to do. You decide to...<br><br>

[[Next.|Day 3 - Morning]]You wake up, looking forward to the day. You take a shower, brush your teeth, get dressed...<br><br>
The sun's out and the sky is blue. You feel pretty good about yourself today.<br><br>

"Yeah. Ready to go when you are."
<<case "Straight">>
There's a knock at your door.<br><br>
"Coming!"<br><br>
You open the door, surprised to spot Charlie in the doorway. Before you can register what's happening, you find a single rose held out for you.<br><br>
"For you."
<<if $gender is "Man">>
She gives a nervous smile. "Don't tell me you're the type of guy who's surprised to see the woman take the initiative."<br><br>
"I've never gotten flowers before," you admit sheepishly, gently taking the rose. "Thank you for this. Let me get a vase for this and we can head out?"<br><br>
"Sounds good."<br><br>
You don't have a vase-- only a tall cup. Still, seeing the rose on your table makes your heart flip.
<<else>>He gives a nervous smile. "This isn't too much, is it?"<br><br>
"No, not at all! It's really sweet of you to do this..." You take the rose, pressing it up to your nose. It's fresh. "Let me get a vase for this and we can head out?"<br><br>

Your cheeks grow warm. "You too. Uh, ready to head out?"<br><br>
"Been waiting for you," Charlie jokes, before starting up the car.
<</switch>>
<br><br>
[[Next.|Day 3 - Event]]You pull up to the event venue, taking in the sights and sounds. The downtown area is more decorated than it usually is-- part of the street is closed off for booths to occupy, and you can spot where the local high school marching band is about to play. <br><br>
You open your mouth, about to ask Charlie what they should do first, before your stomach growls. Charlie laughs.<br><br>
"Food?"<br><br>
"Food."

[[Next.|Day 3 - Event 2]]You wander around, enjoying the event. The high school band is pretty good, all things considered, but...<br><br>
You still can't shake the comment from earlier.<br><br>
"There's something bothering you," Charlie says when you two wander to a quieter part of the event. "Talk to me?"<br><br>
You're hesitant to say anything, but you sigh and explain what happened. You watch Charlie's expression grow furious, but after a deep breath, it settles into something more sympathetic.<br><br>
<<if $sexuality is "Gay" or $sexuality is "Lesbian" or $sexuality is "Bi/Pan">>
"Yeah, it really suck people are like that..." Charlie trails off and looks away, a little embarrased. "For what it's worth, though, I've been... having a really fun time with you."<br><br>
"Me too," you say shyly. It doesn't make the situation any better, but it's nice to know you arent handling it alone.<br><br>
It's quiet for a bit. After a few seconds, Charlie looks around, then looks at you. "We still have more of the festival to explore. I'm not going to let that bum me out. What about you?"<br><br>
You laugh. "Same here. Let's keep going."
<<elseif $sexuality is "Aro/Ace">>

Charlie laughs. "We're good." <br><br>
It doesn't make the situation any better, but it's nice to know you arent handling it alone.<br><br>
It's quiet for a bit. After a few seconds, Charlie looks around, then looks at you. "We still have more of the festival to explore. Do you still want to go out and explore?"<br><br>
You relax. "Yeah, I do. Let's keep going."
<<else>>
<<if $race isnot "White">>
"I'm sorry people are like that. Are you okay?" is the first thing that comes out of Charlie's mouth.<br><br>
"I'm fine." You give a small smile. "Talking helped a little, thanks."<br><br>
"Of course." Charlie holds your hand. "I might not get it completely, but I'll be here to support you if you need."<br><br>
It's quiet for a bit. After a few seconds, Charlie looks around, then looks at you. "We still have more of the festival to explore. Do you still want to go out and explore?"<br><br>

Despite everything, you had a fun day.<br><br>
<<if $sexuality is "Aro/Ace">>
Charlie drops you off, giving you a bright grin. "We should hang out again sometime." <br><br>

Charlie drops you off, giving you a bright grin. "We should do this again." <br><br>

"I'd love to."<br><br>

You blink as she gives you a kiss on the cheek. "See you later."<br><br>

!Presentation notes!
!!!So, what <i>is</i> your project?
My project is an interactive story that changes between 'playthroughs' as you also change your 'stats'. It explores a bit of everything covered in the class-- sex and gender, race, sexual orientation, and class, with the main ideas being that of intersectionality and privilege.<<include "lb">>
!!!What are you trying to explore with the project?
1. How do different power structures interact with each other?
2. How do differences in <i>people</i> affect people? <<include "lb">>
!!!What are some major insights on what you've learned this semester shown in the project?
I think my biggest takeaway from this class is that learning about difficult topics like this is important! In this day and age, ignorance and misinformation are rampant, and the best way to fight back against that is to keep an open mind and be understanding.

Your personal chauffer drives you to the airport where you have your private jet. The staff nod to you as you board.
It's an uneventful flight. It's too short to get any work done, so you decide to schedule your classes for next semester. You grab your laptop and search for the classes, noting that one of your classes is in the Van Buren wing of the campus. You almost forget your grandfather donated to your university.
You meet up with a friend at Atelier Crenn. You invited them out, so it's only right to pay. It's only a little over a thousand dollars, anyway.
"Don't you have that event you sponsored today?" you friend says. "That festival in your hometown?"
"It doesn't happen until later in the afternoon," you say. It's a passion project you've been working on for a bit, so you're excited to see it come to fruition. You explain the event, what it means to you, and you friend looks thoughtful.
"Maybe if I wrap up early today, I'll come and check it out," they say, and you beam.
[[Next.|Day 3%]]
You part ways with your friend, taking your jet back to hometown. You dress down while in the air, so when you land and your personal chauffer takes you to the festival, you look more inconspicuous.
You meet with the event organizers, who thank you for your assistance. You brush it off-- it'd be embarrasing if you couldn't organize one event. You watch people go about, and it's satisfying to see all your hard work come together.
The event passes in a blur-- you participate where and when you can. You even spot your friend, and the two of you talk more until the festival ends.
You're called up to the main event stage, and you talk about wanting to give back to the community. You bring up the number you heard from the organizers earlier, thanking the crowd for supporting a cause near and dear to your heart.
It really is the least you can do.
[[Fin.|Thank you!]]"Jessie!" you greet. <br><br>

You groan. "It really isn't like that, you know."<br><br>
"Really? Come on, you two get along so well though!"<br><br>

<<if $gender is "Man">>
You're put in a lobby and it's a pretty average game. One of your teammates only communicates through the text chat. You don't pay it much attention until they speak up mid-game. The voice is feminine, and without so much as a breath, one of the guys on your team starts to act up about it, even going so far as to throw the game. <br><br>
You call the guy a loser. He asks if you're her boyfriend, or something. You roll your eyes and try and keep the game as positive as possible. You call out a <i>good game</i> when the round ends and report your teammate.<br><br>
You decide to go for another round. To your surprise, a feminine voice greets you-- and you don't even have time to register that before you realize the rest of your team are all girls.<br><br>
"It's okay, it's okay!" one of them speaks up when you annouce yourself, a voice you recognize. "You're one of the girls this game. Thanks for telling that guy off last match."<br><br>
You give a small laugh, brushing off the thanks. Admittedly, it was a pretty fun round. It turns out to be one of your best matches, and you decide to stop playing on a high note like that.

You're put in a lobby and it's a pretty average game. You keep quiet for a bit, before deciding to use your mic to communicate instead of the team chat. Immediately, one of the guys on your team starts to act up about it, even going so far as to throw the game.<br><br>
"Knock it off, dude," one of your other teammates says. "Who cares if she's a girl? She's top of the leaderboard."<br><br>
You're pretty thankful for that, though you feel bad when the other guy gets teased for it. You echo the <i>good game</i> he says out at the end of the match.<br><br>
The next round is much more pleasant-- the majority being other girls. There's one guy, but it's the same person from the last match. It turns out to be one of your best matches, and you decide to stop playing on a high note like that.

It's another instance of police brutality against African Americans. It's a little sad that you're not really surprised by it-- but that doesn't make you any less angry about it.
<<case "Asian/Pacific Islander">>
It's another instance of blaming Asians and Pacific Islanders of being unclean and disease ridden. There's clips of someone talking about how masks are supressing the freedom of speech-- you decide that you've seen enough and tab out instead.

It's another clip of a political debate. You think that if had a nickel for every time the phrase 'illegal alien' was used, you'd be a billionare.

It's another charactature of indigenous practices. You wince when you see a few spirits whose names should <i>not</i> be mentioned.

It's a post from a person talking about being proud of your identity and spreading awareness. You peek at the comments, a sigh coming out when you spot several comments along the lines of <i>you shouldn't be talking about an identity that isn't yours to talk about!</i>.

You wake up with the light filtering through the curtains of your windows. You take your time getting ready-- you'll be busier today than normal, so it makes sense to pamper yourself a little. You go through your routine, feeling refreshed once you finish, and you get dressed.
"Mr. Van Buren," Your chef greets you with a nod when you enter the kitchen. "What'll it be for today?"
You rattle off your order, going through your email as you wait for your chef to finish your meal. You thank your chef and start to eat, seeing the notes your personal assistant made on your calendar.
You've got a brunch in San Fransisco, and you were planning to see if there were any outfits that catch your eye. One of your favorite music artists is on tour in Europe, and you're still trying to decide whether you should go to the one in London or in Madrid.
You brush off the thought. Something to worry about later.
