As much as she likes to explore and meet new people, Door found herself a bit worn out from talking to so very many of them in Constant Vigilance on Friday. Thus after her shopping trip to town with people she was at least a bit more familiar with, a weekend spent mostly in her room (aside from Saturday evening, when she'd handwavily taken a wander up to the roof to read in order to let Seely have his movie night with... someone she hasn't met yet) had proved a relaxing change.

Having not quite got as far as learning how to find the World Wide Web by herself in internet class on Wednesday, and with her meeting for Sunday tea with Walter temporarily cancelled, Door spent quite a bit of said weekend poking at the computer on her own -- in between studying for the first real lesson in Cross-Species Communication, and enjoying the fruits of having finally discovered the library. She's not entirely sure about her chances of being chosen as a library aide considering the next-to-nothing she knows about the way this library is arranged, but hopefully the fact that she's trying to learn more will help with that. And even if it doesn't, it should help her find things for herself, so there's really no bad there.

Now, though, Door's getting a bit restless. She's lying on her bed with the laptop, already dressed in some of the new clothes she bought on Friday, and still diligently trying to hunt, peck and click her way past the school website without getting lost on the ever-branching number of paths the internet seems to offer, but she's left the door to the room open, glancing up every so often to see if anyone's wandering past, and pondering the idea of taking a wander herself. Possibly back to London to see if de Carabas has sent some sort of reply, but she's not sure how safe that is, so she might wait a few more days to try that one.

[OOC: The door is.... oh come on. I refuse to say it. The post, however, is totally ajar.]

"Yeah, I can imagine," Cally said. "Computers take a bit to get used to. I'm no whiz with 'em, I'm more of a gears type of girl, you know, but I can handle 'em okay if you need any help."

"Oh," Cally said. "I'm kind of mechanically minded. Like, I can fix machines and stuff. I can even build 'em, given enough time."

"Mine too!" Cally said, smiling. "Even after the accident, he just wouldn't stop tinkering."

"Oh, he lost a foot," Cally said. "I never got the whole story, but it sounded like it hurt a lot and totally wasn't his fault."

Cally nodded. "While he was working on a ship, actually. He was part of the military, back home."

"No, not a sailor," Cally said. "Erm, like, the Colonial Fleet is spaceships, actually. So, they go through space, not the ocean."

"I'm from another planet," Cally said. "So yeah, definitely."

"Well, after a particularly rought night, I might look a little sub-human," Cally joked. "But this is me. Always like this."

"All the ones I know," Cally said. "Oh, but there used to be a guy in town who looked really, really different. Oh, and there's Zhaan in town, too. She's blue."

""Well, she runs the Sanctuary, if you ever get the chance to stop by," Cally said. "She's pretty nice and helpful, actually."

"I could take you sometime, if you like?" Cally offered.

"We'll figure that out later, then. 'Cause I'm not sure when it's open," Cally said, standing up. "I should probably get ready for my class today, now."

Cally smiled and waved. "See you tommorow in the common room later," she said, before taking off.
