Clouds gently float by in the sky as she lays down on the bench. A month is not enough to really determine if the Academy has seasons, she should ask Groundskeeper next time she talks to her. She sighs, she should've borrowed a book or something, the lack of technology was, in a sense, very freeing. Not having her phone in her pocket twenty-four seven was an odd thing to get used to, before she had spent so much time in front of a computer, or a laptop, or listening to music. She would've never expected to survive without them, and yet, here she was, spending all of her time outside...

She let her arm drift off the bench, laying it on the grass.

...touching grass. And exploring. It was the exploration, she determined, that she really craved. The freedom to go wherever she pleased, without worrying about how far she got from home, or what she was going to eat or her expenses, or recovering from work.

But she had to admit that she missed electronics. The internet wasn't something she was going to have access too unless she took a trip to one of the Earths. She could get a laptop, maybe she could steal one, or try to get money somehow to buy one, but then what? How was she going to charge it? There was electricity here, but she was pretty sure that if she somehow managed to plug in Earth plugs into Academy sockets then something was going to explode. Her Bevin didn't have electricity, maybe Groundskeeper's did? She could... go to an airport or a starbucks? But going through all that trouble to charge a laptop... Maybe her powers might work, if she was careful, and was ok with tedium.

Once again the thought of going home came to mind, and an ugly knot in her stomach made her recoil from the idea. She had procrastinated, there was no way she had a job and had probably been declared a missing person by now.

She shook her head, she needed a distraction.
