Day Four

When: Late afternoon
What: Coffee then computers.
Where: At the coffee bar/ computer room
Rating: TBD
Status: Complete

Tyler's third day on Mirage began much later than the day before as the blond man didn't haul himself out of bed until at least noon. He had stayed up late the night before poking around the resort on his own, partly to get a feel for the place and partly to see if he could track down Brigitte. Yes, the last time he had seen the brunette she had locked him outside to face certain doom but she was also the only person Tyler knew before arriving here so he felt driven to track her down and see if she knew what the hell had happened. Of course, fate conspired against Tyler so he had absolutely no luck and finally went back to his room around 3am. When he awoke at 12pm, he practically fell out of bed and stumbled toward the shower.

There was nothing like a piping hot shower to wake a man up though and soon Tyler was feeling more energetic by the time he got out.He soon remembered that he had promised to meet up with Katara that afternoon at the coffee bar. Deciding that he wasn't particularly hunger, Tyler simply brushed his teeth, combed his hair and got dressed. It was kinda cool that his room came equipped with almost everything Tyler could need, like clothes and junk. He picked out a pair of dark blue jeans and a white button down shirt with a wife-beater under it. Was he dressing up a little? Perhaps but c'mon, he was meeting a pretty girl for coffee! He couldn't exactly go in stained shirts and ripped jeans, could he?

After leaving his room and unit A, Tyler made his way to the main building and down the long corridor toward the coffee bar. Aside from one golem, he saw no one along the way and silently wondered what the other residents were up to. There hadn't been any mandatory activities for today, something Tyler was kinda glad for. Bowling had been fun but if he had been forced to go horseback riding or something like that earlier he might have punched someone.

It was about a little after one when Tyler got to the coffee place and since he didn't see Katara right away, Tyler headed in to take a seat at the counter. Another golem was there in the back so Tyler called out to him. "Can I get double double here?" Of course Tyler was speaking Canadian lingo for a two sugar two cream coffee so he realized he probably should explain. Yet just as he opened his mouth the golem came over and laid the coffee down in front of him. "Thanks", he murmured before taking a sip.

Katara made a good point. If whoever was running this place really wanted to keep them captive then it would they really supply people with a way to contact the outside word? And what would Tyler say anyway? Email his parents or friends with a ‘Hey, I’m trapped on another planet. Send help!’? They would think he was nuts. Have they even noticed I’m gone? Tyler silently wondered. Surely they had to have noticed by now. He felt a desperate urge to contact his family well up within and he was grateful when Katara suggested it couldn’t hurt to try the computers. It reminded him that he couldn’t give up hope just yet.

“Well”, Tyler started as he headed toward the one black computer with an LCD screen. “You push on this button like so”, he continued as he quickly bent over and turned on the PC. “That turns on the PC and then you push this button on the screen”, Tyler added, his movements following his words as he turned on the screen, “And wait a minute for it come on”. Within seconds the screen blinked to life as Tyler sat down in a black chair, showing the blue windows screen that Tyler was familiar with. After the desktop loaded, Tyler sought out the browsing using the mouse. “This is called a mouse”, he explained. “You use it to direct the arrow on the screen and to select items on the screen, like this web browser.”

If he was going too fast for Katara, Tyler didn’t realize it since computers were so second nature in his world but he tried to explain the best that he could. “This is a web browser”, Tyler continued. “And I really wish I was better at explaining this”, he added a bit ruefully when he thought about the best way to explain a web browser. “Is any of this making sense so far?”
