"People notice everything even if they do not say anything. As far as boys go, boys do stupid things when they do start to notice any sex. I call that hormone surges but it happens to everyone eventually." She didn't think any of these kids would go without knowing what sex was eventually. "This is not one of those sex talks is it?" she asked as she continued to mix colors. "I am the wrong person for that all the way around," she said as she laughed. "If it is or if it is not just know if you feel like shit after it, then it meant nothing." She felt that needed to be preached more but she stopped. "That reminds me I do need to tell Gigi every kid under eighteen at the orphanage does need to be tested for sex. That's going to be a mess but we, as a building city and nation and such can not think that it does not happen just because they are kids." Sophie Chang |

Sophie shook her head and replied “it’s not that Avery. My aunt told me some things and my mother should be able to tell me the rest”. Then considered the rest of what Avery said as she added “I know Carmen a Sawyer had a baby. Given our closeness I’m practically Nina’s big sister but I knew of it happening when I was in LA. So it will happen here”. So how could Gigi test for that? “Normally sex ed does happen in high school”. Avery Ashford |

"Well with the females it's like a swab and technology has allowed for the same to be done with the guys though with the guys I think she is going with blood samples. I don't personally care kids help this community remain as it should be but also do not want a lot of std's or sti's because that could get in the water and we do not want that in our drinking supply."

Sophie listened carefully. This was a departure from what she’d known in California but every nation did things differently. It sounded more like a health procedure the way Avery was describing it. “I think I understand that reasoning. I also understand freedom of action and you have to think the possibilities through with any activity” she replied thoughtfully. Sex could lead to pregnancy and parenthood. It wasn’t a given and some babies could end up in the orphanage as well. “Is the water usually tested for diseases? Not just those ones but others” she posed. Poison in the water was a strategy as old as humanity itself. Hell her mum had even sneaked in to do it. One of her dad’s stories about how they gave a group of Italian mafia a hard time before a successful attack. One that drove them out of triad territory. Avery Ashford |

"The water is tested, filtered, retested, filtered three times and then allowed to be used as it's needed. The only water I don't really have access to test is the grotto but it's a different color, clearer sparklier than anything we would drink so it seems okay." It was the business side of business which was the non fun side. "We might have unsafe things from time to time but most the time we do what we need for the visitors and residents." Sophie Chang |

“So no chance of diseases in the water. That sounds good” Sophie replied. She was hearing things straight from Avery that others may not know as well as seeing the process that others wouldn’t see. “Everywhere has unsafe things. Usually it’s obvious what they are” she added. Here the dangerous things might also be weird as well as what you’d expect to find elsewhere. “Even with all that goes on here I like it”.

"That's good to hear," she said. "I mean it's always good to be proud of where you are from but never be too proud to not know that danger can happen but you are also growing here. You have grown so much and anyone can see that but so have a lot of adults and that is the most important. She had finally found a nice brown and orange and yellow shade. "These are going to sell fantastically once the fall comes." Sophie Chang |

Seeing what shade of nail polish Avery came up with Sophie could see what she meant. When she was grown more then she'd truely understand it but as the older children grew up and left the orphanage more of the duty of care would fall onto her. It was the nature of that peculiar family. "I'll always be a big sister to someone in the orphanage. Someday I might even have to fight an invader and that colour does look nice" she replied.

"Oh crap I never thought about what might happen if someone broke into the orphanage." She had that much on her plate. "Is the security system there up to date or do you know?" Hell truthfully it might not even have one. Sophie Chang |

Sophie didn't know much about that side of orphanage life but she could answer with what she did know. "We need to use our island id cards to get in the front door and you need a retinal scan to prove who you are while you're doing this. Beyond that I'm not sure" she replied. "There's also alert panels you can activate as a resident and I suppose there's security cameras in the grounds. Each door has its own keycard too.". So you could secure the living areas if trouble got in. Then it was up to the older ones to fight. Avery Ashford |

"That sounds secure enough the last thing I want is for children to be freaked out. The panels probably do need an upgrade though since technically I had nothing to do with the actual land that the orphanage is on. The paperwork for it was a bit hard to get ahold of but who knows what was there before hand. I need to send some of my scientists down there to check it out." Sophie Chang |

Sophie shrugged her shoulders as she didn’t have the full picture of what was going on so she replied “I don’t know for sure about the cameras but as we are so well looked after we must be valued. Though I don’t know for sure about the cameras. I’d assume they’d be there”. All that effort invested in them must be for some reason. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get the systems checked over anyway. There’s always room for improvement”. What she heard made her wonder what was there before. If Avery didn’t know who would? Avery Ashford |
