Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 9:17 amMiranda had contemplated trying out this "hot tub" thing that she'd heard some of the students talking about. She finally figured out the school swimsuit that she'd gotten and made her way down. As she approached the hot tub though, she stopped in her tracks, just 'staring' at Altamira.

"I apologize for the temperature, but I don't think it would be safe if I turned it up to something that would be truly comfortable for me."

Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:33 pm"I'm new here. My name's Miranda."

Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:07 pm"I was. I...took some time off for my work, but I'm hanging around here now."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:08 pm"That's cool," she said, making a studious attempt not to look at Altamira. "Like it here?"
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:09 pm"I....suppose so. It's quiet. Quiet's good sometimes, right?"
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:20 pm"I've had my share of too quiet and too busy."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:29 pm"I'm sorry to hear it.
How do you like it here, so far?"

Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:03 pmMira closed her eyes for a moment.
"Yes. Yes, I can see that. It can be hard, adjusting back to normal life."

Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:04 pm"Still trying to remember what normal's like."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:30 pm"Well, don't look at me. I haven't the faintest idea what normal is supposed to be, either."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:36 pm"Well, I'm in good company the, I guess."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:38 pm"The best company, sweetheart. We're all mad here, don't you know."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:45 pm"I'm beginning to get that."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:55 pm"So, just relax and let yourself fit right in."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2014 7:50 am"It's harder than I thought it would be."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2014 1:51 pm"What are you having trouble with? Perhaps I could help."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2014 1:52 pm"There's just so much I've apparently missed. Music, movies, news, I feel like I'm pulled every direction as I try to catch up."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:17 pm"Don't focus on everything at once. That will overwhelm you."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:21 pm"But where do I start?"
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:54 pm"Well, what interests you? Don't try to decide what's important, straight off the bat."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2014 5:48 pm"I think maybe I should start with reading," she said. "Just need to find some good books."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 2:58 pm"Oh? What are you interested in, then?"
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 2:59 pm"Don't know," she admitted. "Something with a happy ending."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 3:00 pm"Ah. Fantasy, then."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 3:00 pm"Is a happy ending that unlikely?"
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 4:29 pm"I suppose it depends on your definition."
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 4:31 pm"How would you define a happy ending?"
Re: I13DT: A Truly Hot Tub
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 5:11 pm"It depends on what makes you happy.
And, what you define as an ending. Most of what you consider an ending aren't so, and the ones that are are rather permanent."
