Library, Thursday 1/29

It was cold and Belle was rather over it. Bundled up warmly and with a very hot tea in hand she entered the library to find...

A kiddie pool. A palm tree. A small sandbox. And the heat was cranked up. Presumably fit the gremlins lounging in the sand.

"Well, that's better," she said. And then she noticed all the books set out that took place in typical climates.

"Much better!"

Caleb was relatively certain that weather like this wasn't supposed to happen anywhere south of Alaska. But at least the dorms weren't far from the school proper so he didn't have to deal with it for long to get to classes or the library.

And speaking of...

He eyed the Gremlins cautiously but they seemed much less agitated this time.

"Hello," he greeted Belle when he tore his attention away from their set-up.

"What are they?" He eyed them with new suspicion, at the mentioning of biting. They didn't look like any sort of boogers he'd heard tell of back home. "I'm Caleb by the way, nice to meet you."

If Caleb had left his time a few years later he might have heard some of the stories of Gremlins. As it was he wondered if any of the Granny Witches back home would've had use for Gremlin Venom. Probably best not to speculate too much about that.

"I am. I'm from Earth, quite a few decades in the past. I've been doin' my best to catch up." Oh wait, "You're in the movie class aren't you?"

"The films they've shown us so far have left me too confused t' even formulate a conversation about 'em so far. But I am enjoyin' myself, as bewilderin' as it can be. Th' weather's currently leavin' much t' be desired though. I'm not entirely opposed t' snow but the cold discourages one from enjoyin' it."

"I been tryin' t' ease my way into modern cinema on my own, so far watchin' films from th' 30's an' 40's so far.

"The information I got before I came mentioned travel opportunities, but sort o' like how the brochure didn't mention I'd be time travelin' it was kinda vague on where such travel might be to. Have they ever sponsored trips t' places not on Earth?"

"Crashed? Like, fell out of space and hit the Earth?" That sounded horrific.

"I would imagine it was. I'm havin' a hard time picturin' it t' be honest but I'm glad no one was hurt. Does that sorta thing happen a lot? By which I mean...I don't know what I mean. Somethin' incredibly disastrous resultin' in, no harm done, maybe." Oh sure the damage to property was no doubt terrible but as long as no one was hurt...
