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

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

[ohrlyeh]

you drive a hard bargain

are they good cat videos

[meowchanics]

They're cat videos. It's implicit

[ohrlyeh]

yes but they need to be of good quality

not shot on some shaky cellphone camera

[meowchanics]

HD
Deal or no deal?

[At worst, that should last the rest of the working day... Thank god for Souji's cat obsession.]

[ohrlyeh]

deal

can i come hang out in your office, the professor i work for hasn't shown up yet. might as well look like i'm doing something while doing literally nothing

[deathboss]

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

Do wℰ ⅁ℰt somℰ bonus points for doing this?

[meowchanics]

Yeah sure. But if you have time to kill, help me repaint while I make the video playlist OK?

[meowchanics]

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

[ohrlyeh]

fine

painting shouldn't be that hard, right

[meowchanics]

Not like we gotta paint every little thing, either. Enough visibility to get around should be everyone's first priority.
Think of the kittens

[ohrlyeh]

i will try to think of the kittens

where is your office anyways

[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.

[meowchanics]

[You know what, fuck it, just a bunch of GPS coordinates. The outside of this particular building is so poorly detailed right now, he can't see the point in trying to cite landmarks...]

[ohrlyeh]

[It takes a while, but THANK GOD FOR GPS. Here is the man himself, gaunt and miserable, holding his paint brush dripping a vibrant midnight blue behind him. He bumped into the walls several times and he's clearly not too happy about it.]

[He stares over at Sigma.]

I'm here. What do you need me to paint?

[thesettingsun]

None of this is fair. It hasn't been fair from the start.

Some days I feel like I just want to take a long nap and wake up when everything is normal and fine again.

[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!
