I don't know how the elementary schools in Toronto work.  I know there are after school clubs at some of the schools around here, even for elementary school students.<br/><br/>I sent a PM with a bunch of information, but here it is again:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=31397">Quote from: AribethAmkiir on 12-04-2020, 01:26:30</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">For connections:  Mila would have been a very quiet, geeky, wallflower at an earlier age.  Her experiences in Feria, along with the relationships and friendships she built with the other characters helped put her on the path to the woman she is today.  Even way back at 10 years-old, she knew she was attracted to both boys and girls.  It was something that made her feel very insecure and self-conscious at that age.  She was also, and still is, a smaller person, and not very athletic.  Even at an early age she loved to draw and drew many of the things they saw in Feria and kept it in a diary/notepad.  While Mila was a wallflower, she wasn't particularly shy.  She was more of an observer.<br/><br/>Something we had agreed upon with the first iteration of this was that Tee and Mila kept in contact via emails/text messages, etc.  Like keyotess said, Kay and Mila were neighbors.  Mila's folks were pretty cool.  <br/><br/>Mila is an only child.  Her parents were fairly typical, and a bit on the overprotective/conservative side.  If anyone ever ate at Mila's house they would likely have been introduced to some Russian cuisine like Pelmini (think Gnocchi), Bilini (think small wheat pancake with a sweet sour cream on top of it), or Pirozhki (basically a bun with meat inside kind of like a Hot Pocket, but fresh and much tastier).  Mila's dad was a laborer/blue-collar older man who was very much into the local sports teams, and her mom worked at a preschool, but always seemed to have time to make homemade dinners.  Neither one really displayed any artistic talent that anyone is aware of.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>She was in Toronto until she was 18, at which time she went to college in the states - specifically the Art Center College of Design, in Passadena, CA.  Mila returned to Toronto about a year and half ago after landing a position with a local game development studio.<br/><br/>@keyotess - considering it isn't that difficult to do a search on Facebook and find long forgotten friends, even though Kay went years without internet, they could at least have that minimal connection, no?
