Sable checks her email for the fifth time that morning. So far, still nothing but spam.

It's not that she or her headmates dislike their classes. Second year computer science is honestly pretty interesting, most of the time, and they don't really mind the core curriculum classes either. It's just that they signed up for the limited-access trial of Gates of Eternity, the very first fulldive VRMMO, and they've really been hoping to get in. 

Dysphoria is a bitch, you see, and a fully-sensory virtual reality experience might be the most powerful relief from it they're likely to find.

But as much as they want it, they still haven't gotten their acceptance email.

So Sable whiles away her class periods, doing her best to stay focused.
