CLASSROOMS

Now that Tex has been released from restriction by Medical, she returns to spending the mornings in the classrooms, preparing lesson plans and teaching those students who should decide to arrive during her shift. In some ways this job makes her restless, but she also enjoys it, especially interacting with the kids, who she has come to think of fondly. They're all unique and have interesting viewpoints, and she has come to see that as a valuable thing.

Whenever a student comes into the room, she ceases what she's doing and looks up, and she stands if she happens to be sitting. Most of the time she even offers a small smile, and gestures for the student to enter. "Hey," she greets them, and welcomes them to a desk.

TATTOO STUDIO

Use of the tattoo studio is strictly by appointment, of course, but she prides herself in being able to do the work, and she always makes herself available if someone contacts her wanting one. She always shows up early when she has a tattoo to give so she can sanitize everything properly and change the needles. When her client arrives, she's always ready to get started.

SHOOTING RANGE

Tex works in the shooting range daily, spending most of the afternoon there, preparing the dry-firing system that she and Ryuuzaki have devised. It means recycling parts from the scoring system, but by the end of the month she intends to have the system set up and ready. In the meantime, she also spends time each afternoon getting acquainted with her weapons again, shooting off several rounds and doing maintenance on weapons people should happen to bring in that need attention.

Unfortunately, with the scoring system out of commission, she has to score any contests manually, but that's no obstacle to her participating if someone should challenge her. And of course, she's always willing to give people a few pointers on shooting, if they ask.

GYM

Tex's major project now that she's off of medical restrictions is to regain her former strength, speed, and agility, and that means spending a good couple of hours in the gym daily. She stretches, then swims, then does the weights, and ends each session with a good spar if she can get it, or work with the heavy bags if she can't. She's still somewhat weak at the beginning of the month, but by the end of the month it's clear she's making real progress.

She's come to see each person who visits the gym in the evening when she's there as friendly competition, and she's not afgraid to challenge someone to spar if they seem to be on a similar level. She has to get used to not being the clear winner like she always used to be, though.

"The way I teach, everything is individual. I like you all to have something that'll interest you going on, and that's not necessarily going to be what's interesting to your classmates." It seems he's decided, despite all his questions, though.

The way she says that makes him smile a little at the corners and look back up to her. "You sound like you're trying to sell it to me, but okay, I'm in." And he means he is. He's convinced she would be interesting enough to try this out, anyway. It's what his dad would want and it's something maybe to help him pass the time.

And she's right about that. The finger he held on the button lifts up and his name enters into the system. He hands her back the tablet after briefly glancing to look at his success.
