Room 205- Monday morning before classes

For the last two weeks, Janet had had daily phone calls from her parents. They wanted to make sure she was doing okay, and honestly she missed them, even if she knew she probably sounded a little annoyed when she talked to them.

"Yes, I went to church... Umma, I'm not going to have them write a note that I was there. I can send you a selfie next week... I'm pretty sure if Jesus was around today, he'd take the occasional selfie in front of a church... I am too funny."

Walking as she talked, she just so happened to see something through the window, flying somewhere off in the distance. It looked too big to be a bird, so she moved closer and peered out, frowning as it swooped back around, and... yep. Not a bird. Super not a bird.

"Umma I've gotta go. Homework emergency."

She hung up without thinking, and debated just not going to class today. And then she thought, maybe she could get some good pictures.

Shuri looked up from the dice she was finishing for her weird crafts class. "I can write you a note," she offered, smiling.

"I did," Shuri said, making a little face. "Think it's a people-eating lizard?"

"I'm finishing up with these," Shuri said, rolling the dice and smiling as it came up 20, complete with a glitter explosion and a jaunty little song, "so I can make you a...lizard taser, or something."

"Well, my home had a tiny...civil war...not so long ago, so lizards are easy," Shuri said.

She had not seen a T-Rex yet, no.

"Two men fighting each other in panther suits?" Shuri offered.

The charging rhinos were just normal.

"What's a furry?" Shuri asked.
scoffs_at_tradition: (ooooh)

Too late! Shuri was already googling and without the safe search on.

Her eyes went very wide, and then she was laughing so hard she was having trouble breathing.

T'Challa was never going to hear the end of this. NEVER.

Shuri held her phone out where a 3-D rendition of the Black Panther suit rotated above the screen.

"This is what I meant. Not the other thing."

"Sure," Shuri said. "Doesn't your phone do that?"

"Oh, me too," Shuri said, texting away. "I'm telling my brother you think he's a furry."

"Oh, he'll learn all about you," Shuri said with a little grin. "He probably has the War Dogs on it already."

Shuri paused, then laughed. "That...is a good point. That's our intelligence organization. It's been named that for many, many years."

"Well, you're roommates with their princess, so...yes?"

Did she not mention that? Ooops?

Shuri gave her a slightly sheepish wave. "Hello. Still me."

"King, actually," Shuri said, "but it's totally fine. He's just my big brother. He's not special."

Shuri giggled. "Really, it's fine. It's funny."
scoffs_at_tradition: (ooooh)

"Probably not," Shuri agreed. "He's very busy."

"I've never been anywhere," Shuri said, "and so when T'Challa opened up Wakanda to the world, I asked to go out and see some of it."

"With giant lizards, so that's different," Shuri said. "We only have regular sized lizards."
