Okay, well, uh. Rachel thinks she'll sit somewhere nearby but not actually at the same table, in that case.

A few minutes later guess who comes in.

… Oh look it's Sadde yay.

She continues eating. If Sadde waves or smiles or whatever, she'll respond, but she won't do it otherwise.

Sadde apparently doesn't see her and goes sit with someone else.

Rachel will finish eating, in that case, and hang around a little to make sure nothing interesting is happening, and then she'll go back to her room, unless something or someone interrupts her.

Nope, no one'll go bother her.

Then she'll probably spend another hour doing whatever – woo, internet access – and then go look around to see if they have any other activities, because sitting in her room alone is pretty boring.

Yeah, there's another orientation class in twenty minutes.

She will arrive at that on time.

Hollister is there, as is Jayden. "Okay, now we just wait for Matt and we're ready to start!" There's a knock. "That must be him—" so he opens the door and is surprised to see "—Sarah? Come in, come in! I'm glad to see you."

She does, looking like she's regretting having shown up already.

Rachel gives a small wave.

"How are you?" Hollister asks.

"...okay," she mumbles.

"Terrific!"

There's another knock at the door!

It's Matt.

"Hello, come in! We're all here, good!" He ushers everyone to their seats.

Matt does not look too thrilled to be here but takes a seat.

Rachel tries to smile a bit, seeing as how she is likely the only one to try to make an effort, other than Hollister.

So Hollister launches on an explanation about job placement after Orientation and where to find what in the City and then starts explaining about the "layers" of the City.

"So, see, while we consider it all the City of Angles, the City proper, where we are, is just one layer—the center, so to speak. Beyond it there's the Suburbs, and after that the Outlands. You can't see the layers from each other, from here it looks like the City extends forever et cetera, but there are some non-Euclidean turns that will take you there."

Rachel nods. "Is there a map of all this, somewhere?"

"Yyyyyes. See, the City changes, all the time, so you can't really print maps that stay accurate; only good ones are electronic. Dee of Rezz maps are supposed to be the most accurate and up to date... But they aren't. You can get some unofficial maps much better than those."

"Do you know any particular retailers, or brands…? I'd rather not have to evaluate them myself, really."

"Yeah, I can hook you up with the best no trouble."

Nod. "Thanks."

And they continue to be Oriented!!

Matt seems like he might be a bit tired. He's not really paying attention.

Rachel tries to pay attention! Fortunately there are some interesting bits imparted.
