Finally got official hardass confirmàt̸i̵ǫn ͏from the university that exams are going ahead, for the most part. So, a few things:

1) Any affected students on this app: If it's unsafe or difficult for you to get here - hell, if it's giving you trouble unrelated to that - let me know. If need be, we can figure out how best to explain it. Everything is going to be fine, I͠ ̢promise!

2) Even if you intend to be here, check in with your professors. The comments here should be good enough, provided they're on the app too. It'll be useful to know for the bigger picture.

3) Anyone else: Little help with the buildings, desks, halls, computers for some students, other equipme͠nt? Would͞ b̧e real welcome right about now.

4) Take care out there.

i'm not a student but if no one else shows up in fifteen minutes, can i leave

[meowchanics]

[Goddamnit Howard, he's trying to be responsible today??]

I'll send you a cat video for every 15 minutes that you don't

[ohrlyeh]

you drive a hard bargain

are they good cat videos

[meowchanics]

They're cat videos. It's implicit

he's red but I'm lazy

[thesettingsun]

I don't have you as a professor but I can paint things for you between my classes.

[meowchanics]

Sounds good! Let's see -
If you can find your way to [building], they were trying to track down some of the papers themselves
Getting even one or two of them legible again would be better than nothing.

[thesettingsun]

I can't fail my final exams because of the world disappearing. I've been in college too long for this to happen.

[meowchanics]

It sucks that they won't postpone. I sympathise 🙀
Sure, we don't know when things could go back to normal
It's usually "when" not "if" right?
But that doesn't make it fair

[deathboss]

Oh of coursℰ they are ⅁onna kℰℰp going dℰspite what's happℰning. ⅁rℰat.

Do wℰ ⅁ℰt somℰ bonus points for doing this?

[meowchanics]

Sorry. I can look into awarding extra credit on mine, there's just kinda a lot going on
You holding up ok?

[deathboss]

Yℰah I'm as okay as wℰ can mℰ in this situation I guℰss

My parℰnts are frℰaking out a bit but how can you ℰvℰn bℰgin to ℰxplain this

[meowchanics]

Though if it knows how to paint, that would be worth extra credit for sure...

[flowrite]

oh no! as if pa$$ing this $eme$ter wa$n't hard enough already!

I gue$$ I'll be at the campu$ too, $o I can help if you need it!

[meowchanics]

I get the reasoning behind it, but at the same time... yeah.
Thanks for the offer, anyway. We probably do need͞ it. Even a few minutes' work on the buildings, footpaths or signs around here would go a long way toward it looki̵n̡g͟ ̛like a campus again.

[flowrite]

Hone$tly I'm kind of $urpri$ed I've made it thi$ far without failing, after everything that'$ happened over the la$t year...

Where on campu$ will you be?

[meowchanics]

I can imagine. Good work, honestly.
As for me, I've been in and out of life sciences all day. Still a lot of ground to cover, by which I mean literally the floor... Never thought there'd come a day when the building seemed too big
Don't tell me you need a chaperone to figure out which places nobody painted yet?

[mercurio]

i᷊ c᷃ǎn̙ help out with p͟a͠i᷆nting stu̹f̗f̵

[meowchanics]

Great, cause there's a lot of stuff.
How badly are you willing to mess up your clothes?

we imagine the glitches

[mercurio]

i guess i could always go shopping afterwards
i mean i'm not super willing but hey
i rather help out!

her text is a blood red I might edit in eventually

[matchbreaker]

[ Now recovering as best she can from the whole... you know... sun thing. She blinks at that name and she types in ]

Sigmund Klim, is that your actual name?

[meowchanics]

Yes? Need to get in touch?
Things are hectic over here, but I can listen.

[He types that, but he spends the next half minute or so squinting at the name. "Elda"... Elda... rings a bell, but - ah!]

Wait scratch that!
Holy shit
You were that little girl with the big house! on the street with the dogs!
How long has it been?!

[...That must be right, surely? Don't fail him now, memory, you're the one thing he can rely on... up until a month ago...]

[matchbreaker]

That's me! Golly, I thought the name sounded familiar! I still live in that same house, actually.

[ Still, someone from that long ago...? It's been years. ]

It's been forever!

[dulynoted]

Thank you. You're not one of my professors, but it's nice to see the staff involved.

I can help with the effort. Are there specific areas of campus that you're prioritizing?

[meowchanics]

Not formally, but right now? Classrooms
To be frank, it doesn't matter which ones for now. We can redirect students and share equipment, it's just reliant on them having somewhere to go.
No pressure though. One way or another, we'll figure it out.

[dulynoted]

That makes sense to me. A coordinate effort in the same location will give us quicker results, anyway.

I'll admit there is pressure, but it's not from you. Once again the wellbeing of the city is in our hands.
