WHO: Sarah Petrelli, Roy Harper Jr., Lian [Ben Braeden, Toby, Simon, Monty also referenced] WHERE: the Hyperion WHEN: Monday, May 22, 2006; afternoon [backdated] WHAT: Checking out Sarah's school! RATING: TBD STATUS: thread; in-progress
After making certain that the front desk person knew to expect Roy and Lian, Sarah had rounded up the boys and herded them into the classroom to get settled in for the morning. They were clearly more interested in the soon-to-be visitors, but to keep them from overwhelming the little girl in their eagerness – the novelty behind their excitement lay both in her being a girl and being the youngest of all of them – she'd chosen to take the edge off their energy with some games.
However, they were four boys under the age of twelve, so the reservoir of energy there was still quite large. Still, it kept Sarah on her toes and it was welcome reprieve from the darker tenor of some of her other responsibilities, just the same.
Letting out a sharp whistle, she ended the din that had come with answering the last trivia question.
"We don't want Mr. Harper to think he's coming to a zoo instead of a school."
