Okay! (Tomorrow maybe she'll split friendship time a bit better.)

And then recess is over and she has Intro to Electronics!

Cool!

She knows nothing!

What is the intro like?

The teacher's doing review of what they've covered so far this spring to catch her up, but anyone who feels they do not need review may play with the circuit pen and stuff over there on that side of the room. (About a third of the students do so.) These are the things they've been doing!

She has so many questions!

They might have to do two review days, since Intro Electronics builds on previous knowledge more directly than history does.

She's fine with catching up homework, too.

School policy does not usually involve homework, but she can have copies of their readings so far.

No homework's good!

She'll take those to go over later.

After electronics is lunchtime! Onis spots her before Zon does.

She waves to Onis! She's pretty sure she ate lunch with Zon yesterday... She needs to arrange to combine friend groups.

Onis waves her over to where she's sitting. "How was your electronics class?"

"Amentan electronics are really weird! I'm going to have to do a lot of catching up."

"Did you know stuff about Earth electronics?"

"Only a little bit?"

"How come you wanted to take that class?"

"'Cause Amenta has a lot more electronics than Earth and I dunno how they work."

"It's kind of a purply class."

Shrug. "I only kind of halfway have a caste, anyways."

"I guess that's true. And it is rainbow school."

"Yeah! I wanna learn lots of different things. It's why I picked a rainbow school."

"I'm just here because I'm deaf. There's grey schools with like wheelchair sports but I wanted dance and if you can't hear the music..."

She nods. "That makes sense. Hadn't thought of dance as a music thing, though..."

"It usually is. My teacher thinks I could learn to do it okay by following other dancers and lighting cues if I work really hard. Or maybe hearing aids will be better by the time I need a job."

"I think humans usually do dance with music but there's any silent dances, and shoggoths don't usually dance to music? Could you memorize the dance, or do stuff with quiet dance?"
