Mable hurried through her work at the park and put her equipment away in the potting shed. She then used her master key and entered the business office building. She walked though the building in the dark until she found the back stairs. She then used her phone as a flashlight and went into the dark basement. Did she lock the door upstairs? She sighed and went back to the door and made sure it was locked. Then back down the stairs she went. She found the back little office, not much bigger than a closet. It probably had been a closet because there were no windows and justroom for a chair and a small computer table.

Mable sat down and turned on the computer. She lifted the mousepad that had a picture of a cat with a taco shell wrapped around it and found the password. Silly place to hide something like that but it made it easier for her to use the computer and who would try to steal secrets from a park. ‘Oooo I so need to know their fertilizer.’ Mable inputted the password, Meagan&Chris4ever. “Oh, mygoddess, how cheesy.” Mable whispered.

Once in, Mable began her searches. First up was Buhovina. She typed into google her search. Then clicked images. Maps filled the page, but a short scroll later there were pictures. Beautiful pictures of the lands. Farms, mountains, and trees. The architecture was amazing. There was what she thought must be a monastery perhaps and it was so colorful and the angles. Mable was in love with the land already. She would have to visit someday. She then switched to looking at the bare facts about it but the photos stuck with her.

Next stop was the Stalin order number 227. This one was easy to find but hard to read about. 'Not one step back' was the famous line from the People’s Commissioner for Defense, Stalin. The line was supposed to help boost morale, but the orders were disastrous. So many died, and no ground was really won with the order. No need to dwell on these horrors. She had only been curious because these things shaped Krieg into who he was today.

Time for a little shopping. She wanted to get a few gifts for people. First up was for Ale. She found her a little brooch that lookedlike a scepter to symbolize her new-found Prince-hood? Prince-dom? Anyway, for becoming Prince. Then she wanted a little something for the Deputy. She thought it was really kind that she took the time in court to talk with her. She found a Japanese hairstick. Perfect. Next it was the special gift for Krieg. A thank you for all he had done for her. She ordered a book for herself to read on her phone. The first novel ever written, TheTale of Genji. She did get it in the translated version.

Purchases done. She settled down to work on learning futhark symbols. She studied for hours in the bluish glow of the computer. She then saved the website on her phone, so she could practice at home. She carefully erased the history off the computer and headed home being careful to lock up when she left.
