It's a pleasant day outside. There's a nice breeze and the sun is doing its best. At very least, it's not raining and warmer than it was yesterday. This is, statistically, likely to bring college denizens out of their dorms and offices since rain seems to often be on Newcomb's horizon. Fall in not-at-all-New England is lovely that way.

Gansey, for his part, can be found throughout the day in several places! He likes hanging out near the clocktower to study, since he's found time works best there (at least for him). It's nice to have a watch that's doing something vaguely akin to timekeeping for once.

But he's an explorer at heart, so he can probably also be found in the library, the computer lab, and wandering the grounds. Gansey isn't sure he's interacted with anyone outside a classroom or on Fermii since the train crash, so he's more likely than usual to strike up conversation instead of waiting for it to come to him.

The real question is this: where's everyone else hanging out today?

[ i'll be throwing gansey at anyone who doesn't note that their tag is closed. please mingle! ]

Yeah, he doesn't know who that is, so he backs up: "Sorry, Rheticus?" There's a story here he thinks, but he's not sure how that applies to their situation.

"16th century mathematician and astronomer. Colleague of Copernicus, among other things. Reinvented trigonometry to the modern basis using right triangles instead of circles as a foundation of the six key terms. A bunch of other stuff. I could probably go on for days," she said, shrugging a little.

"But I remember one of his poems really helped with solving a problem back home. My brother would have been gone forever without it."
