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."

It was so weird, to see the library bustling and full of people. She usually saw the stray patron here or there, not a teeming mass.

It was fun. She was going to sit here and try to look knowledgeable and helpful. She didn't actually know much about any of Fandom's past invasions, but guiding people through the library? That, she could definitely handle.

(fair warning, my availability will be nil during the daytime, but all pings will be answered sooner or later, for reals!)

I would say that's revolting, bb, but I've done my 750 words and am willingly and voluntarily at work an hour and a half early every morning.

... I cannot judge. XD (And it IS awesome, in case that was confusing, la.)

Ino always had notebooks and she could think of several things she wanted to look up, but truly she was more contemplating the fact that she... maybe owed Reno an apology.

Maybe. Ish.

... Ino was bad at the apology thing, shut up.

Considering the last time the island had decided to play with alternate worlds and snatching people she'd wound up not wanting to talk to people for a week or two... it was probably unhealthy that that was what she was looking into.

Coupled with timeline difficulties.

For no reason. Really.

Her notes, anyway, were going to be quite detailed.

Research work!

Zatanna could be a dork about some things, and considering she was an expert when it came to walk around books and look for information, she was going to enjoy the class. Too bad they couldn't mess with Special Collections.

It was as good as any other time to actually look for all the previous...oddities? -disasters sounded a little too strong, perhaps- that had hit the island. The weirdest, the best, she thought, considering it actually made some kind of sense in the end.

Raven hadn't been around for the Weeping Angels, so she decided to look into that, starting with books and working her way to the computer if necessary.

She took very good notes!

Chloe had bravely stationed herself and her research between most of the class and Special Collections.

She wasn't too close to it and she didn't have her back to it. She hadn't lost her mind, after all.

Chloe was doing some serious research on alternate realities and magical comas. In the time she had been here, she had seen the people on this island having to deal with things like that twice.

While she hadn't been one of the students hurt in the vampire alternate universe, some of her friends had. Let's not even mention how she felt when the island started falling apart around them and people had started disappearing to horrible places. Well, at least some people had disappeared to actual places and not just stopped existing at all for a few days.

Chloe's pen was moving quickly over her notebook as she continued to research her chosen topic.

There weren't actual spellbooks on the shelves, so Tara picked a few more general this-is-what-magic-is kinds of books and started reading.

She was likely to be all indignant about the Salem Witch Trials again by the end of class.
