Everyone is DELIGHTED, though a purple kid has suggestions about her accent.

She will take accent suggestions!

Now she sounds very grandpa-purple-y! Everybody else with a role puts on voices too as best they can, inspired. (Onis has been given the role of lighting manager and is dimming and raising the lights for night and day scenes.)

This is good! Voices are a really fun part of doing plays.

When they've done a few scenes they discuss character development and themes.

She has a lot of insight into characters! Less insight into themes, but learning about Amentan literary themes is fun.

Apparently this play is representative of a genre called "rural microcosm" where a cast of tightly knit characters in a low-population-density backdrop are used to create a legible analogy to larger sociopolitical movements! Anyone who likes this play might also like these books and these movies and these other plays.

Neat! (She makes a note of the books and movies and other plays.)

All the schools that have two recesses seem to do four classes separated by recesses and lunch; they have recess next. The playground is not as huge and fancy as the former grey school's, but it does have wheelchair swings and stuff.

She'll do her usual of making friends and learning games!

At this school it is apparently popular to do a game called "trick or fact" where everybody on their turn can decide whether to perform a commanded trick (usually something like doing a certain number of jumping jacks, but occasionally more exotic tricks; one kid keeps getting asked for repeats of his ability to dislocate and relocate his own shoulder) or produce an interesting fact.

Oh, that's a fun game! She mostly asks for facts, and is very enthusiastic about doing tricks and giving facts.

(She suspects she'll get a lot of asks for shapeshifting tricks, though.)

She gets almost exclusively shapeshifting asks. Someone wants her to turn into a chair so people can try sitting on her!

She tries that! It feels weeeeeeeeeeeeeeird!

Can she be this imaginary kind of alien from this kid's favorite TV show??

She needs a picture first!

Here is a picture!

She will turn into that, then!

Kid wants a selfie of himself hugging her as this alien!

That's alright!

The game sort of degenerates almost entirely into asking Bright to turn into stuff by the end of recess and then Onis has her dance class.

Dance! What are they doing in dance class?

Today they are doing a social dance to warm up, then a more serious form of performance dance, and then a different social dance as a cooldown. Bright might have trouble keeping up with the middle part since it's pretty practice-intensive but she can pick up the social dance fine!

She decides to spend the performance dance watching people, paying really close attention to how they move - she doesn't often get to see what reasonable physical limits for movement are, since most people make very limited movements.

They are practicing this specific kind of spin!
