[At least, that's what it feels like when she looks at that ghost bird following her. She knows that this colony is known for hallucinations, weird things, ghosts, even - but seeing it there, making pitiful little noises at her, doesn't make the pill easier to swallow. It can't affect the world around it, she's figured that much out, but... She wants to help it, desperately. Yet, it stays wispy, just out of reach.]
[She's only been in this school two weeks, not even that, and yet it seems like the worst waste of time. Nobody's enthusiastic, she's really not learning much she didn't already know on her own, and... Well, she has no idea how to make friends. During study hall, at least, she can work on her own projects: her robot prototypes, sketches of new parts done meticulously on graph paper, waiting for when she finds a machinist to custom-make her some of those parts to build. There are a few sketches of CyBuddy internals in there, too; she has to catch up on her work.]
[But she's not one to let people hurt in favor of work, so when Rise squawks and starts falling all over herself, Sulla's there in an instant to swing out an arm and catch her right around the shoulders like she weighs nothing. Heels, in a place like this??]
Ohmigod are you okay-- Wait... [Sulla looks to where Rise's eyes had been cast, just above the floor... And belatedly lets go. Whoops, almost forgot she was holding this girl she doesn't even know.] Those birds. I mean, this is probably crazy, but, uh. Do you have one, too?
a!!
