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." )

"I do. I didn't want to disrupt my train of thought." He checks back over his notes and glances at the airship blueprint. Just like he'd thought. The larger airships need a much larger crew than the Castle of Lions. A given but he likes to confirm it.

"I used to do this for paperwork too. It looks slow but transferring it all to digital is simple and makes up for the speed decrease."

"Huh," she has to admit, she's a bit curious, "But if you typed it all on your tablet, wouldn't it already be digital?"

It feels like there's something she's missing. Admittedly, she's one of those people who would literally do everything digitally if she could.

“Yes but I have a lot more freedom with my notes and revising them on paper. I could use some kind of art program but, this is better for me. Did this all the time when I was a cadet.” He smiles as he flips the pen over his fingers. He opens the journal again and writes out the recent string of information.

Diagonal of the notes he put up before it. He has loose sketches of engines and key parts for the airships among them. He shows her by setting the book down on the table. “See?”
