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 grabbed a chair, rolled it over to the computer Tyler had chosen and seated herself on it beside Tyler’s. She watched and listened intently as he described just what he was doing. He wasn’t going too fast at all. She was able to catch on relatively fast. It wasn’t the simplest thing, but the basics of the workings of a computer weren’t so hard to understand. By simply watching and listening, she learned how to use a mouse and bring new things up with it. Windows where the squares with information in them. “Why are they called ‘web browsers’?” Browsing was an obvious one. A person could peruse the contents of the window.

“Don’t worry, Tyler. You’re doing just fine. I think I’m keeping up all right. It makes more sense than it would have if I’d been doing it on my own.”

Her eyes scanned hastily over the glowing screen. There were so many things on which a person could click. It was a wonder anyone knew exactly what they all did. “How do you think you’ll be able to contact your family?” She wondered if anyone knew she was gone. It was certain that they missed her as much as she missed them if they did. Were they looking for her? Was anyone in trouble, needing her help, and she wasn’t there to assist? A sinking feeling started to set in her gut. So many things could be happening in her home world, important things that she could help her friends and family with. While she was here learning about strange technology and relaxing, they could all be busting their butts trying to do something else. How would they ever forgive her when she returned, if she returned. No, of course they would forgive her. It’s not like she sent herself to this odd Planet.

Katara desperately hoped that if Tyler could contact his family, she could contact hers.
