"There is indeed much to learn, from past events.  I humbly submit my application.", he says with a bow.

"Registering for a club before registering for classes? That takes motivation. But hey, I'm not here to stop you."

"Technique is fine but craftsmanship really sucks. Put some effort on appearances." Dan sighs. He surveys his surroundings superficially. "I hope this isn't all the clubs, because alternative would be rather bleak."

"I didn't build this one. Is it really that bad?" asks the voice. "You think you could do better?"

"Sculpture is not immediately amongst my talents, but it cannot be too different from inking at the detail level.  So anyway, I can sign up here?"
((@Ao:Does it matter?  Answer if you want.))

"Sculpture is not immediately amongst my talents, but it cannot be too different from inking at the detail level.  So anyway, I can sign up here?"

"Sure, our meetings are held in room 142 at the Earth department building right after sundown. I'll make a note so we're expecting you, if I can have your name?"
The construct holds as still as a statue.

[IronyOwl]

Acquire uniform, ask statue what clubs are for.

You head on up through the gates, and notice some of the school's clubs trying to make an impression.

For the second time that day, Christine headed up towards the gates of the University, passing through without incident, though she did see a few guards in an argument with a pair of students, one a lizardwomen in sackcloths. Getting clear of tue crowds, she stopped for a moment to take in the view, which was as amazing as the stories she had heard made it out to be. Unsure what exactly to look at more, she let her gaze wander, fire to the massive sunray mirror that dominated the entrance, then at the many buildings and garderns that lay all over the campus, and then at the waterways that crisscrossed the grounds, which were still completely ice free despite the cold. Looking at the edges of the waterway closest to the entrance, she saw the tents and pavilions that undoubtedly housed the club recruiters. At first, she thought about heading over, but then reconsidered; the pack she carried was starting to weigh heavy on her back, and the day was still young anyway, so she instead decided to find the dorms instead.

Ask someone for directions to the dorms, and then head there.

[_DivideByZero_]

Christine, upon being asked if she was also making a last-minute deposit, shakes her head.
"No, that's all been done already. I'll probably be heading back up the university now."

Head to the University gates and try to get in

You head on up through the gates, and notice some of the school's clubs trying to make an impression.

"I understand."  Nix bows for the final time ( he really should rein it in, he felt, but habit's a hard thing to break ). 

Search for professors.

You wander about past the sunray mirror, heading between the two great halls and gazing upon a circular building enshrouded in pillars. The plaque above the quad-doorways reads: LIBRARY OF CLARITY.

Talk to the mechanic next, and see what that club is about. Ask how dangerous the work is, and how well it fulfills service credits. Then ask if there are any other good ways to get credits without risking my life.

"...dangerous?" She looks at her arm, missing. "Oh. Don't mind this." she rests her head on her (metal) palm. "There was an accident a few years back with the Wind Department. It kind of destroyed the whole building."

Varying schematics and designs on parchment litter the desk. The woman snaps her fingers, which ring like cymbals, and the sheets organize themselves into a neat stack floating a couple of inches above the desk, angled for your viewing convenience.
"Our club activities include work on agricultural machinery, some powered carriage designs, and prosthetics like the one you see here. We recently got a grant to build a crane for the new Wind Department building, so that should be fun!"

Acquire uniform, ask statue what clubs are for.

"What's wrong with having clubs?" the statue responds in its shrill teenaged voice. "Humans like to socialize, you know? Not everyone's rich or smart enough to stay on top of school while going places and finding Credit opportunities. Clubs let you have fun and work as a team. You get credits for inventing stuff with us."

They don't seem to be handing uniforms out nearby. That's likely the quartermaster's duty.

Ask someone for directions to the dorms, and then head there.

You notice an old woman, probably a staff member, planting a sign in front of the gates that reads:

NEW ARRIVALS
QUARTERMASTER
DORMITORIES
TO THE WEST
<-----------

It points toward the marble garden.

"Right, forgot about that. Thank you, I should get the other pre-class obligations sorted out." I should find where the dorms are, since uniforms won't be that useful without a place to put them.

Search around for the dorms. Ask directions if needed.

You turn around to look for directions-givers, and then notice a sign in front of the gates that wasn't there before. There's no text on this side, but on the side facing the gate it says:

NEW ARRIVALS
QUARTERMASTER
DORMITORIES
TO THE WEST
<-----------

It points toward the marble garden.

Go inside Library of Clarity.

[_DivideByZero_]

Go inside Library of Clarity.

The Library of Clarity

The library, from outside, seemed like a one-story structure a couple dozen meters across. Inside, bookshelves line the edges like spokes on a wheel, followed by a walkway with a glass barrier acting as a rail over a huge circular pit. The floors go down under the ground, and it would be difficult to see the bottom if not for a golden Orrery the size of the gap itself, mounted at the bottom floor on a pedestal. Spiral stairs on a steel frame lead the way down along the edges of the pit, and there's a whole floor for each consonant of the Higan alphabet (14 in total).

The builders engraved a slogan into the entranceway's granite floor: "Any fool can take power. Those who keep it require knowledge." This is a library dedicated to history, politics, and astrology.

[NRDL]

Keep mental note of Library's location, go to dormitories, still be on the lookout for professors so I can actually enrol in my classes.

[WunderKatze]

Raioyris takes note of when the Arcanist and Questing clubs are meeting then wanders off to the library looking for books on elementary Life magic. Maybe I can find something to charm a crow with.

((Added to OOC Thread for convenience))

The Library of Clarity doesn't seem to have what you want. The pathway splits at the entrance, however, and to the west you have a three-story structure with a gothic colonnade and arched windows. The plaque merely reads: Library of Nature

This library has a much more traditional layout, each story having every letter of the alphabet, with the stories divided among three Elemental schools: Life, Water, and Earth.

"I didn't build this one. Is it really that bad?" asks the voice. "You think you could do better?"

"At the moment, no, I can't probably do better. But I'm minoring in earth so eventually I can."


Follow directions to the marble garden.

[HighEndNoob]

Two birds with one stone I guess.

Head on over to the Marble garden to try and find the dorms and/or quartermaster.

[Wolfhunter107]

Christine pauses to read at the sign.

"Well, that's convenient."

Go to the Marble Gardens to look for the Quartermaster and the Dorms.

[_DivideByZero_]

In the gardens, you find a group of students in uniform. One of them, a young man with a winter coat over his uniform, seems to be speaking into a green crystal. The other two, both girls, seem to be complaining about the weather and their own lack of winter coats.
One of them sees you walking past and waves.
"You should go check out the Arcanist's club!"

Kyron continues existing at the Arcanist's Club table.
