Hana shook her head in frustration. This would not do at all. Beyond the fact that she didn’t feel comfortable leaving these people in this state, and beyond the fact that she needed their positions filled to operate the school, there was also the fact that the statue looked horrendous as breakroom decor, and the birds were already shitting on the bottom of their cages.
“Janice wanna cracker!” The Macaw shrieked again. That was going to get very annoying very quickly.
What a fucking mess, Hana sighed. Well, not like she couldn’t try again. The camera didn’t appear to need any film, obviously working off of other magic. She raised the camera and snapped another photograph.
It was a lateral movement at best, she decided, staring at an infant child surrounded by three puppies. The infant started shrieking. Hana exhaled. Frustrated she snapped a third photograph. This went a little better.
At one table sat a young African American woman with a neatly maintained natural hairstyle. The woman was smiling at an infant swaddled in a pink blanket that was sucking at her large breast. Hana caught a glimpse of a chocolate colored nipple and felt a slight shock of arousal in her crotch. It was becoming pretty apparent to Hana that she was into women. She was curious if she was also still into men.
At the other table sat a very pregnant brunette, knitting baby socks. The woman also appeared to be early thirties. She had a kind face and a warm smile. The woman looked up and noticed Hana. “Oh, hello boss!” the woman exclaimed.
“Hello, Joan,” Hana responded, realizing this must be John. “How are the students doing?”
“Oh just great. Just great. It’s hard to get them excited about algebra but the challenge really keeps me on my toes!”
“Oh good,” Hana turned to the African American woman. “And how are you today, Roberta?”
“Oh I’m great. I’m trying to get Janice here to try food but all she seems to like are crumbled up crackers!”
“Well, give her another month or two. They grow up faster than you’d think!” This was especially true of baby Janice, who Hana fully intended to figure out how to return to adulthood. Hana took her leave and made her way back to her office. Once there, she put her considerable brainpower towards figuring out how to use the camera in a more controlled way.
