Unconventional Tactics, Tuesday, Period 2
Today, Reno's class had been told to meet in the library for their lesson. And to bring something to write with and a notebook, because they were going to need to actually do, like, research and crap today.
Not in those exact words, really, but what the inflections of what Reno thought often bled into the messages that he passed on regardless.
"Yo, Rookies! Today we're coverin' one of Fandom's finest traditions in time of crisis, zoto. Today, we're goin' to talk about the people who roll up their sleeves an' make their way here when we're faced with somethin' we don't quite understand, because there ain't no place on the island with more information available to us than right here in the library. We can cast spells and punch things in the face and burn barricades all we want, but it's the island's researchers who find out what it is we're up against, and how the hell to get rid of it."
He grinned, leaning back against the Library Aide's desk with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Your mission today is to pick something, any something, that has already hit the island or that you think potentially could, and to find out everything you can about it. Take notes, Rookies. I want you to hand in what you found by the time the period is through. You got everything in the library at your disposal, from books to newspapers to the computers over there, but first person I see who tries to sneak into Special Collections gets detention for life."
What? As much as he loved the idea of going in there after you, he really had better things to do today.
"Rinoa here's been nice enough to agree to help you mooks find what you're lookin' for, so don't be afraid to pester her with questions. Keeps her day interesting, yo."
[Open!]

Re: Research
It wasn't easy, either, when she had to keep Archibald Charles the robobaby from tearing pages out of the books, so eventually Kennedy found herself parked at a study carrel with a bunch of picture books to amuse the droid, a couple of volumes on demons for herself, and a harried look on her face.
Those demonology books weren't going to get looked into that much; Archibald Charles kept tugging at her hair and trying to knock the books off the table.
Parenthood: so not her thing.
