Nerds of a Feather Learn Together

Who: Open to everyone!
When: Consistently in the evenings of May 9th-12th
Where: Curti Center Library, a larger conference room.
What: The howling hordes of airship pilot- and engineer-wannabes gather in one poor, poor place. And other nerds could probably study there, too.
Warnings/Notes: Feel free to write your own top-levels like with Makoto's birthday.

Wholly out of the blue, a message pings into your iMog slate, through the Kali Shashidhwaja Linkshell. When you open the notification, a horrible sound plays, and the text message's contents burst onto the screen in an explosion of confetti.

So I might've raided the Curti Center's library for everything on space, airships, piloting, and magitek. I also might have conquered conference room 3A in the library for the next few evenings. Come keep me company!

Please. It's quiet and lonely and I'm scared to leave by myself.
And I have cookies! ლ(❛ω❛ლ)


For whatever reason, you decide to head on over to the Curti Center, and you're met with a large conference room, with piles of books on the table divided by a few trays of cookies, and a few dry-erase boards because chalk is for bohemians. One, clearly at Hunk's corner of the table, has a sketch of an airship with arrows and chicken-scratched notes pointing to seemingly-random areas, as well as a blue-marker doodle of a bizarre creature circled multiple times and surrounded by question marks.

Another board across the room is partially taken up by a chart titled SKILLS! and broken into three columns: PILOT, MECHANIC, SCHOLAR. Hunk's name is written beneath each, but maybe you should write your own- there's a reason you're here, after all! And resting in the marker tray are about seven pamphlets on the Vaikuntha Pilot License Examination.

Oh, and there's a moogle sitting sternly upon the lectern next to the door, munching on a kupo nut as he gestures towards the bowl next to him, with "Donations" scribbled onto a piece of paper taped to the side.

Go wild, but shhhh! You're in a library!

( Potential baby top-level ideas include "asking your study neighbor what in the world something means," bellowing "HELLO YES I AM PILOT," and "I wandered in because free cookies but I don't want to be here and can't leave without causing a scene, help." )

Adults actually asking her for help? What kind of crazy mixed-up world is this? Before she knew it Connie could end up singing along with Weird Al to the tune of "Everything You Know is Wrong." Goofs aside, Connie was more than happy to help.

"Sure! I'm pretty familiar with libraries--funnily enough, the Dewey Decimal system apparently carries across universes--so I could probably help you track a copy of whatever you need down," Connie says. Libraries had practically been Connie's temples in her early youth, the organization system her god, the books her angels, and the librarians her clerics. Okay, maybe she didn't have quite that freakish level of devotion, but still. They had been one of the few places that she could guarantee that she could get some non-academic reading time.

Selphie clues in fairly quick that the Dewey Decimals relate to the digit on the side of the library books and nods politely at the explanation. That it may be yet another correlation between many worlds is just a little mental note that the perky brunette catalogues away for later random factoids at the dinner table with friends. Honestly, though she'd never really spent much time in a library aside from research for schoolwork.

"That's great! You'll be a huge help then," Selphie agrees happily as she picks the book up off the table and points in the direction of where she'd first found the tome. "I'm pretty sure it was over in this direction but we should probably go by the codes on the side of the book. I remember that much about libraries at least."
