[ Sarah's walking around Wonderland, device in hand as she talks, hair in a pony tail. She's in running gear, and though she's not winded, her cheeks are pink and it's clear she's definitely been exercising outside. ]

So, whoever said jogging is good for you? The worst. It's so bad for your knees. But sometimes it feels like running is the only way to get far enough past the latest...implosion of this place.

[ She sits now on a bench in the garden, sighing and looking at the camera. ]

Other than drinking, what do you do to take your mind off of how this place works? Some people, for example, run. Some people read, some people eat, even. I don't know. So what do you do when you need an escape when we can't go anywhere?

[ After she's posed her question to everyone at large, she wanders around the garden, wondering if she's allowed to pick the flowers or if it isn't that kind of garden. It's all beautiful, in any case, and she winds up finding a sunny spot and sitting again, stretching out on the grass and closing her eyes. ]

...Y'know I never thought of that. Max takes pictures and does scrapbooking too. I bet there's tons of other people who'd be interested in it. It's kinda like the knitting circle that the Once-ler and I almost started, before it became too sad to do it without him.

I can definitely understand that.

[ She'd never met the Once-ler, but she understands activities losing their appeal when the person you wanted to do them with was gone. ]

Jane, the tattooed woman I was telling you about? I bet she'd really like it. She can draw anything. And I mean anything. She's the one doing tattoos for people.

Darnit. There's a person here who could do my first bad life choice tattoo, and I'm never gonna be old enough to get one.

[ Sarah laughs quietly at that. ]

Well, she may not be able to do a tattoo for you, but she can give you your first bad life choice henna art. Not as permanent, but still pretty cool.

I don't know what that is, but it sounds amazing.

It's like drawing on your skin with a Sharpie pen, but with ten times the staying power and it looks like a tattoo. You could have it for a couple weeks, at least.

[powerofmabel]

Okay, but... Question. Can you do it in colors that aren't black? Like the pink sharpies.

[blackbirdsing]

Yep. Henna tattoos can be all kinds of different colors.

[ At least she's pretty sure; there was a rogue google search once a couple years back after her divorce was final and a lot of wine had been consumed. ]

[powerofmabel]

I know what my next big Wonderland adventure is then. [THUMBS UP.]

[ Sarah laughs, giving her a thumbs up right back. ]

Good luck. And have fun!
