HIGH SPEED LIBRARY POST

[worldlyafflictions]

Who: Anyone
Where: IT MATTERS NOT TO THIS PEP but you guys get to be at the hotel or the library.
When: Day 41, midday-ish

[HEY IMEEJI, THIS ISN'T A LIVE!! (eta: jk it's a live now)

Instead there is a pink super-speed blur racing around the lobby briefly, definitely going more than fast enough to slam people with a strong breeze in passing, before it materializes into a pep!pep! when he slows down to drop a bunch of miscellaneous looking stuff next to him.]

'Morning-morning~! I found out not too long ago that we got that library people were wanting~! Soooo~ Let's say 50 points for an unbelievably quick and convenient ride over and back, but free ta anybody who can make a useful contribution ta this endeavor! You'll be heading over... in this! [Reaching down to pick up... AN EGG CARTON. Wiggles the egg carton. Yeah.]

My team is already riding for free, of course, as is AlcheME! for making this project possible.

Who's interested~? Outbound rides will be ending in two hours!


[You're free to ignore him and head to the library three hours away on foot yourself though, of course. Or possibly you were unlucky and already left and missed this ONCE(?) IN A LIFETIME CHANCE.]

Yeah, but if we get started now we can cut out the middleman.

[unbr8kable]

I dunno if we get points for teaching them... Just make them do the boring parts I guess. They can get 'em done super fast with super speed, right?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Man, that would be kinda cool. Gives speed reading a whole new meaning.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. I wonder if you speed understand it, too? Or if it's just in one ear, out the other.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Only way to find out, right? They better get on that.

[unbr8kable]

Special speed studying techniques...

[crossmyheartandhope]

What even is that? Like flipping through a stack of flashcards in .5 seconds or less?

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. If you can remember and recall something you saw for less than a tenth of a second, score, right?

[crossmyheartandhope]

For real. Man, I could pick up all kinds of stuff.

[unbr8kable]

How long you think it'll take to read all this stuff?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, the whole library? At super speed?

Like two hours, tops.

[unbr8kable]

And how long do you think it'll take to forget it?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Thirty seconds, tops.

[unbr8kable]

I feel like that's not the best ratio of work to result?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess we better stick to the old-fashioned way, then.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... That shortcut was pretty shitty.

Anyways, what about this?

[pulls out a book on the history of production lines from a shelf. it does have a robot on the cover at least, though it's the kind that welds doorframes or something]

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, maybe if we wanna assemble a bunch of stuff?

[Taking it from her to flip through it.]

...this one's pretty heavy on the history, though.

[unbr8kable]

Ehh...probably not the best to start with, unless you wanna knock yourself out.

[Turns back to the stacks, skimming through for something more the size of a photobook]

...Like, how far back to we have to go? Circuit boards or like electronics basics or can we skip some of that? You need programming stuff?

[crossmyheartandhope]

No clue. Guess let's start with all of it and see how it goes?

[unbr8kable]

...Guess it won't hurt. Maybe there's a how-to section, then we don't have to get bogged down with a lot of theory that we don't care about.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... there's gotta be something that'll take you through the basics somewhere, right?

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... Let's keep looking. Hopefully it's not too far away.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You think it'd be in another section? Like some kinda such-and-such for dummies area?

[unbr8kable]

Huh, maybe. This place needs a map.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well... let's grab this stuff first, since we're here.

[Pulling a couple of books at random and plopping them down on a nearby table.]
