As one who wasn't fond of young children, Forsterite had no qualms about going to a playground near a preschool to drain energy from the most rowdy and wild of the offspring she found there. It would probably have done the brats some good and their parents would probably be grateful if she helped them pass out early that night. The woman crossed her arms over her chest as she watched the energetic kids with some envy. She was pretty sure she hadn't been that hyperactive as a child. It would have probably been nice to have had that much natural energy even after a long day of work. She could have accomplished so much more with it working in her garden.

These days, though, gardening took so much out of her. Being a teacher was difficult when even something as passive as grading papers was so draining. Half the time she felt she was supervising the Romano's children at school, making sure they stayed in line, did their work, and didn't start fights or otherwise get into trouble. The other half of the time she felt she was trying to grade their tests or worksheets or trying to come up with a curriculum for the year and what to do for their next class or how best to teach them.

She thought she would have had more time to meet her Negaverse draining quota once she was finished with school herself, and she did have a little more time than before, especially on rare school holidays, but not by much, especially since it was a military-run school. Fortunately, she thought, she didn't really have much of a life outside of gardening, her day job, and working as a lieutenant for the Negaverse. She didn't know how more sociable people did it all.
