Wandering through graveyards!

...okay she admits that's a bit weird, but how the heck does anyone here knows this if they weren't wandering through graveyards too?

Ivan heard it from Sam who heard if from Alice who says she saw Cally going into one.

Ah huh.

The gossip mill disperses in response to the teacher glaring in their direction.

And she can pay attention to class.

Later, there's gym class. Cally is in it with Sadde.

And Cally is so uninjured she can even participate in it alright, right?

Yeah, though she has to demonstrate a bunch of wrist exercises to the gym teacher before he lets Cally do anything.

Cool.

Gym!

Gym. Volleyball Week is the current activity.

Cally's pretty good at it.

Yeah she'll definitely want to catch Cally after class.

"...Hi again. Sadde?"

"Hello. You're really good at that!"

"Volleyball? I guess so, I do lots of sports stuff, you know?"

"Yeah. Fast recovery with the wrist thing, too."

Cally hesitates. Then, "Oh, this again? It looked worse than it was. Just a dislocation."

Uh huh.

"Makes sense. I'm not very good at sports, myself, but mostly because I don't really practice and don't have extremely athletic leanings."

"Aww, sports are great! If you don't have the time or the body for it, though, yeah they can be bad."

"Oh I don't dislike them, it's really just a matter of never having really dedicated myself much."

Nod, nod. "I thought, 'I'm going to be a professional athlete' - a soccer star, olympic gymnast, whatever, when I was a little younger. But it's just not going to happen, you know? Unless you're the second coming of Michael Jordan or something."

"Yeah. I aim lower than that—just total world domination."

With a wry smile she asks, "Perhaps you need to attend a realistic goal-setting class?"

"Yes, that sounds like a good idea. When I take over the world I should be able to coach people on how to best achieve their goals."

"This whole taking-over-the-world business seems like it might undermine the ideals of democratic elections a bit, doesn't it?"
