[Sarah looks sadder than she has in a long time. Maybe ever. It turned out that pearl had really been helping her keep various emotions at bay.]

Hi Nathan. You know that message that went around? From Sam? Well, I got rid of the pearl, like he said. I didn't want to, but he said it was bad and... I don't want to be influenced by something that was bad. But... I'm sorry. I... I really did like it. And it doesn't mean I don't want to be your friend. OK?

Action

Sarah spent most of her morning in her room trying to make everything better. Happiness wasn't exactly something she had a difficult time with, but here she was, just sad. Toby was still kidnapped, and everyone here seemed to have friends from home. Sarah hated it.

Finally, realizing she'd spent enough of her time moping, she made her way to the Pet Cafe. Puppies at least can make you smile right? Which, they helped. It wasn't perfect, but it was something. She spent quite a bit of time there, eventually feeling the sadness reach a point where it wasn't quite so present.

Her next stop was the library. Though she still looked down compared to normal, Sarah was determined to get back to normal. Besides she had two topics on her mind - how to be a functioning adult (even if she was still a teenager), and how to kiss better because of those stupid bots. Next time they came around, she'd be prepared. Only she didn't want anyone to see those books, so she grabbed a giant book on art as well, to cover them both up.

[Find her either in the pet cafe or the library. I'm cool with either.]

[Have a bright-eyed boy addressing the network, Marina. Well, okay, they're actually black eyes, but his spirit is bright!]

Let's do it! [Motivational, right? Vague, but motivational.]

We should go ride horses! We can race! [He may be coming up with this as he goes, but Veridical did mention the stables in this morning's announcement.]

I'll be at the stables, so you should to. It'll be fun!

[It's true! You can find him there. He might be grooming or saddling a horse when you arrive. He might also be having a one-sided conversation with one of them. He has it on good authority that horses like being talked to.]

[Video/open]
Class is happening soon. If you're not an engineer or computer genius you should probably check it out.

[She lifts up a camera.] We're going to learn about these today. [The class originated for people from worlds or times where technology wasn't as developed as it is in the prison, so it's to help them close the gap, but she's not picky.]


[Beginning Technology Class Mingle/open]
[There's a camera—each different than the one before it on each table and Kitty is sitting on the desk. Chairs are for losers!]

This is a camera. It's great for artists, people who like looking at things forever, and stalkers.

[She goes on to explain the basic parts and the concept of how it works. Then she picks one up, balancing it on her palm.] Give it a try. See if you can figure out how to use it. We'll go from there.

[Instead of seeing Kitty you're just going to see this at first. Kitty can be heard humming the Jaws theme though.]


(OOC: Respond to video to Kitty here. Mingle everywhere else! Before, during, after class. Whatever you like!)
