Alyssa is intern of the year 2047. She is one of the few remaining non-robotic creatures existing and must work extra hard to keep up with her mechanical counterparts. She is pursuing her third year as an English major at Pomona College, a major that has become nearly obsolete with the advent of immediate communication and instantaneous absorption of literature. Her hobbies include anti-gravity dancing, drinking Tang, and trying to keep the printed book alive. At 826LA, she is inspired by the children around her, both robotic and human.

"Read, kids! or in robot speak, 'Bleep-Boomp-Bomp!'"--Alyssa M.

Nathalie liveth in the year 1604. A frequent understudy in amateur theatrical productions, she most recently starred as Desdemona in upcoming young playwright Shakespeare's Othello. As a woman, she spendeth her time practicing intricate needlework and attempting to eavesdrop on literature lectures, a burgeoning field, at Claremont McKenna College. In order to escape her mother's dreams of a suitable marriage, she longs for the convent, where she mayeth peruse the library to her heart's content. When she speaketh of her work at 826LA, she doth say "methinks expression lieth in the written word."
