[Editor's note: found this post from September of 2016. Posting what I had. Foy was renamed to Zeke, I was still playing around with the name of the college and where it was. The real name would probably have been chosen in editing, but I don't want to edit these.]
I came to Kodo for college. I'd never been in a gods-2.1 world before. Didn't really know what I was getting myself into, but mom and dad encouraged me to see the sims.
In a world where all travel is instantaneous, leaving to go to college no longer carries the same weight as packing up the used car dad helped you pay for and crossing a timezone or two. It simply involved walking through a doorway.
I stepped out of Buchard and into Kodo. It was a similarly-themed terminal. I was approached by a friendly local named Zeke who welcomed me. Zeke knew enough about me, knew what I was majoring in and the names of my parents, and took me on the twenty-five cent tour - whatever that is - of the precinct's capital city, Cedar.
We flitted above the city in a light plane and Zeke gave me a brief history of the sim and the formation of the precinct. We landed on the campus of Takona University and continued the tour there.
Zeke was a junior, studying terraforming, and was my mentor.
The tour concluded with a dinner for almost eight hundred incoming freshmen and their mentors. The Dean spoke to the class, gave us the usual pep talk, presented the parade of professors who spoke to us of their classes and the various paths to a degree the students could follow.
When she finally got to the topic of gods, I stopped fantasizing about diving off a cliff into an active volcano.
