WHO: Waver + open
WHERE: Gemini + Cygnus Academy
WHEN: 12/1
WHAT: Surprise facility upgrades!
WARNINGS: None

[Waver looked a little more stressed than usual today; his phone was being held up by a floating wireframe sparrow, leaving him to gesture in honest confusion with his free hand.]

So, er--I came into work this morning and things were...different? Let's go with 'different'. We didn't have a courtyard yesterday, for one thing. For another-

[He pushed open the door behind him, showing the expansive room beyond.]

My lecture hall's appeared overnight. The one I teach in. In London. How'd it-

[Something indistinct was said offscreen in a voice recognizable as Diarmuid's, with Waver looking off to the side like he didn't remotely believe what he was hearing.]

...the fuck do you mean there's a dorm building?

[He glanced back to the camera as if he'd almost forgotten it was recording, briefly scrambling to recover even the faintest semblance of knowing what he was doing.]

Uh...that is to say, I'm pleased to announce it seems Cygnus Academy has dorm space now? If you'll excuse me, I think I have to go remake the academy's barrier and hope I can still maintain the damn thing.

"You mean like, where you teach at the Clock Tower?"

Should she be keeping an eye out for more things from their world(s)??

do i need to expand the security camera coverage

[fionnuisce]

Probably. There's a lot more space now.

Sorry for the trouble.

[fionnuisce]

That's the one, yeah.

[killerapp]

unless you made a deal with someone for all this its not like its your fault

what are we gonna do with dorms tho

[fionnuisce]

Not that I know of.

And I can't say I know. Surely we'll find some use for it, given how many of us there are across students and faculty both POKEGO and otherwie.

[killerapp]

maybe new isekais can crash there if they dont want to deal with Zodiac

[prunedworlds]

"Huh... I kinda almost want to check it out now."

Because of course she did.

[fionnuisce]

That's a good idea, considering the Crystal Tower's apparently a magnet for trouble nd not particularly viable on the shelter front. Hopefully I can extend the academy's barrier far enough to cover the whole facility.

[fionnuisce]

I can't very well stop you, I'm sure you know where the academy is.

[killerapp]

its also Geminis server base

so

[prunedworlds]

"Well, sure, but I don't wanna get in the way if there's classes going on and stuff either, you know?"

[fionnuisce]

Good point. Better to keep that as the anchor point for magic-inclined nonsense and worry about housing elsewhere.

[well ain't that a thing.

thankfully we have takame's inability to carry a tone to balance out waver's Everything but also the first thing takame saw on arrival was a Sharlayan Cafe straight from his realm so]

If I may be so bold as to offer, if you'll maintain the primary campus space you may leave setting a barrier around the dorm space to me.

[fionnuisce]

Just come by around late afternoon, then.

[fionnuisce]

That would help a lot, actually. Courtyard might be pushing it, but so long as I make enough extra sigils I can probably manage that much on my own.

[prunedworlds]

"Well, if you're sure that's okay..."

As if Waver didn't basically run the place. Though, after a beat:

"Maybe you could give me the whole tour sometime, even."

She'd, well, not avoided it exactly, but never really bothered poking around the academy unless there was a specific need to. For reasons.

Huh, I wondered where this building came from!

[says your friendly roof cryptid, chilling on the dorm building’s roof.]

I’d assumed it had sprung up by magic, I haven’t seen any construction crews around recently.

[fionnuisce]

Would've been nice for magic bullshit to give me a quick warning, but I'm not about to complain.

[fionnuisce]

Sure, I can do that if you're interested. You know, Takame's got a pretty good self-defense course, if that's something you might want to look into.

[prunedworlds]

"It'd be neat to see where you work, yeah."

Work, literally run the place, same difference, right?

"Oh, like basic martial arts and stuff?"

[fionnuisce]

[Same thing, as far as Waver was concerned.]

Exactly--obviously I haven't taken his course myself, but he's definitely a capable teacher.

[prunedworlds]

"I do know a few things from Chaldea, but..."

Most her training time there had been naturally focused more on things involving the Servants. Anything else was just whatever she happened to pursue (or someone insisted on teaching) in her spare time.

[fionnuisce]

It couldn't hurt, if you were at all interested. That's far from the only class we have, either way.

[prunedworlds]

"I mean, it's an academy, right? Having classes is pretty much the point, I think..."

That... was not an answer as to whether or not she was interested. Even if it was admittedly the obvious retort.
