Sex robot M3 end of day two.
I waited outside the pie shop for an hour and my bruised feet ached and pulsed. I was relieved not to be getting honks and abuse from passing cars. But plenty of tourists coming in and out of the Powerhouse museum Sydney took my picture and laughed at me in my pink with purple trim fairy costume. Finally I got a text:
--
Go to an internet café and open yahoo msngr.
--
I walked around darling harbor looking for an internet café with no luck. I headed back up toward the city and found a convenience store with a few PCs. The Arabic looking man behind the counter just starred at me and did not answer when I asked to use the computers. After a minute or so I gave up and walked up one block to the next convenience store. The Indian looking woman was very friendly and helpful and I got online.
Genie connected straight away but did not say anything. After ten minutes of my sitting in the window, tutu in the air looking at the computer the shop assistant came over to ask if I was OK. I said I was just waiting for yahoo to connect and she smiled and patted my head.
Genie finally sends a message:
AFK
I waited... and after I don't know how long Genie wrote:
--
Where are you M3?
--
I wrote just off Sussex street near China town.
A long pause before:
--
Go back to the library and collect your things. You have 30minuets, if you are late they will close and you won't be able to get your clothes, wallet and keys.
--
I logged off and ran out of the store. I ran in the wrong direction for a minute before looking at the time on the phone. 4.55pm I guess it must close at 5.30pm. I took a breath and got my bearings. I up to Pitt street, left and all the way up to the mall and then up along Macquarie to the library.
I looked again at the time as I walked up the stairs 5.08pm. Out of breath I pushed the door but it did not open. Some people in the Library started looking at me. I gestured that I want to come in. They just kept looking. After I tried the other door a woman inside made a point at her watch motion and I made one back thinking that the closing time was 5.30pm. I looked on the door and it said --Saturdays, Sundays and Pub. Hol. 5pm.
I was now stuck in the city with no money, train ticket, wallet or house keys wearing a pink fairy costume and tights with a lace mask glued to my face hand clasped zip-tied around a fairy wand I could not release.
I got a text:
--
Are you there yet?
--
I typed:
--
Yes -- it's closed.
--
Genie the med student's reply:
--
Take a picture of yourself waiting outside the closed library door, make sure I can see your face and the opening times. Then I'll tell you how to collect your things from the locker.
--
I took the picture and waited for a response.
The Library Guard moved me on and I walked down to martin place to sit on the bench.
I got a text:

There are three ways:
1.Wait outside the library like a garden fairy until it opens in the morning.
