Just another day at Purple Crown Academy, as anyone would tell you.

Okay, maybe that wasn't quite the truth. For one it was a Saturday, meaning that there was plenty of time to kick back, relax, and unwind after all the schoolwork and the stress of the previous week. That was something that Masae could appreciate, and she was already looking forward to it. Maybe a bit of strategy gaming? Or she could work on that book she'd been meaning to finish. Either way, there was plenty for her (and people like her) to do. 

Oh, and there was the stuff that had happened in Deep Ground Online recently, practically dominating the rumor mill of the Academy, but she did her best to try and ignore it. that wasn't her life anymore, not after everything that had happened, so she did her best to pretend like it didn't exist. She found that it made things simpler for her. 

At the moment though she was currently ensconced within the sound booth in the gymnasium, seated in front of the computer set up as the monitors glowed and caught against her glasses. Various screens scrolled, text flying past as she worked and let various clicks and beeps fill the room itself.

"Seriously, what happened here," she muttered to herself in disbelief. This system had gotten seriously messed up, with junk files, programming messing up the system and making it slow if not outright unusable. All she knew was that it was connected to someone commandeering the school speaker system to blare out their music some time ago, though she didn't know why they hadn't fixed it up until this point. Maybe they just hadn't seen the problem until now. 

She got to work though, picking out affected areas and getting to work in tracking down the source of the areas. Quickly it became apparent that the problem wasn't just the initial error, but the fact that someone had messed up in trying to fix it which led to this jumbled calamity of errors. It was probably a teacher, and somehow she wasn't surprised. In her experience technology seemed to have an almost pathological hatred for those in the teaching profession, not working even when there was no legitimate reason for it to not function besides something ridiculously specific. Then again, most teachers only seemed to know the basics of how certain devices functioned, so perhaps it was to be expected. Even if she would admit that she might be a tad bit unfair to them given the situation.

Eventually she narrowed it down to a single spot and activated troubleshooting software, following along as she angled in on the solution. A few changes of settings, an altered command line or two, and just like that everything was back to normal. A more relieved sigh filled the air as she sat back, simply relaxing from the job well done as she enjoyed her success. A warm feeling suffused her, as she let herself stretch a bit.

But she couldn't be certain that she had actually succeeded yet, and straightening up once more she quickly scrolled through a list of options before activating the internal speakers of the booth to make sure that it was working. Activating it, she was soon greeted with the sound of music, cellos thrumming away in duet. She enjoyed it, yet cut the music after a few seconds and went on to put the computer into sleep mode. She had confirmed that it worked, so her job was done here. 

Picking up her bag, she slipped her stuff into it and headed out, quickly making her way through the halls and towards the exit. She could report her success later if someone didn't discover it by then. Right now she wanted to enjoy the weekend that she had left, and that would not involve sticking around here. She'd swing by her apartment, maybe see if Aderyn was in right now, and then on to some place a bit more interesting. Easy.

Humming to herself, she set off with a determined drive. The day would not wait for her, and she would not keep it waiting.
