Or even better their cell phone could be a Nokia 1 with actual buttons on it.  And of course, Esperanza will use Telcel América.

Oooo… he’s a walk down memory lane.  Trying to find stuff that might apply to a teenager.

Minimum wage went from $5.15 to $5.85
2/4/07 Colts defeated Bears in Super Bowl
10/24/07 Red Sox sweep Rockies in World Series
Movies Transformers and Toby McGuire Spider-Man 3 came out
This is before the 2008 Recession
Computer games out in 2007:  Call of Duty 4 and Assassin’s Creed

I'm in the process of starting the game.  Don't post anything in the story thread yet until I say it's okay.

You got it jefe!

Esperanza- slight change of plan.  You are now the Slayer as of this morning.

You went to bed last night, feeling normal.  You slept through the night and woke up feeling stronger and healthier than you ever have in your life.


Everybody can post now.  It's first thing in the morning at Sunnydale High, first day back to school since New Year.

What kind of weather was it during the break?  Where I’m from it would have been snow.

California is relatively warm in winter.

No recent snow.

The weather would be in the 60s in the daytime and the high 40s at night.

NdD Billy, una mujer spoke to you.  Una mujer guapa!

NdD?

Nombre de Deos (roughly equivalent to OMG)

We have a new addition to the group.

Say hello to Tori Hart.

Tori is a cheerleader and plays other sports as well.

As you can see by the latest episode thread post, Tori was late for school and didn't get a chance to socialize with anyone.

She is also in Coach Keel's 6th period gym class, so Esperanza, Billy, and Liam would know her from class.

Hello Tori.  Are you the Tori who was all over Scott right there in the Bronze?

Welcome Tori!

Hi!

The name was originally a weird coincidence, but I've agreed with the GM they're the same.

Tori being Tori, she did it on a dare. The description has undergone some teenage exaggeration...

Welcome!

Ooh... will Napoleon Dynamite be encouraging Pedro to stand as class President?

Which of us is Napoleon Dynamite and which of us is Pedro?

Unrelated (or maybe very related), my family dressed as Napoleon’s crew for Halloween once.  Wife was the Llama.

Brittany is the only brand new student here.

Hopie, Liam, Billy, and Tori have all been in the coach's gym class for the first half of the school year, so they should be somewhat familiar with each other.

Got it.  Thanks.

Just to clarify, Tori didn't quite perform the vault as intended: she didn't put her hands on the vaulting horse, but relied on hitting the springboard fast and hard enough. Hence the less than graceful landing :)

Thanks.  I just had the coach yell at her too, though not as harshly.

We made it past our first hundred posts.

The last two games I joined as a player died before getting to a hundred posts, so that's worth a celebration.

Hopie, don't forget it's 2007.

Nobody knows what Descendants 2 is yet since it won't be released for another 10 years.

To be fair, I had no idea what it was either, and nor did Hopie. I had to look it up.  I just assumed Hopie was in contact with a time traveller.

I’ll wait for Tori’s response before I post arriving at the Bronze.  I can see it going a couple of different ways.

Would you believe that in Scotland they have deep fried snickers bars?  Actually they'll deep fry anything.  After the ice cream wars in Glasgow in the seventies, they started selling deep fried ice cream fritters.
