As far as you can tell for this, the only rule is, 'everyone has to make something'. He wasn't very helpful or specific, but maybe that was the point?
If you want to involve other people, then youd have to convince them that's the best thing for them to do too.

A. You could turn it over and use it as some sort of colander or strainer. For uh... stuff?
B. Use it as some sort of awkward shaped fan
C. Use it as a basket, you'd probably need to make some sort of carry strap or something.
D. Put it on our heads as some sort of shade. Or hat.
E. Make a 'thinking hat'. You're not sure what exactly you want to do with this, maybe draw the letters spelling "SMART" on the hat?
F. Ask other students if they'd be interested in a group project.

Some of the ideas so far, and now in the update post.

Initia Fabricist Iustrio beams at the class.

“Welcome one and all to the most fascinating, nay the most important thing you will ever learn - Anterology! Welcome to delving into the mists of time, grasping at what has been lost to us all. Just three hundred cycles past, this land, our land, was a place of chaos. The sweat of men was naught but yet another resource wasted, foundered away by those that we call the Magi. What they created from us, is almost to heinous to consider. Almost to terrifying to grasp. Almost too harrowing to confront.

But we must, students. Almost is not ‘certain’. And there are very, very few things in this existence that are writ in iron. You have the opportunity to scrape open the cork of time. And I will be your guide.

"Forget what you have learned. Forget what you know to be true, and I will show you such wonders. Such wonders. You will see magic. Oh yes magic. For there is no other explanation that suits. See this here? A twig of birch painty all gaudy-like? Well when I wave it like so… oh er like so. Darn it well it sometimes shines bright like a candle and... just like... no well like th... LIBERATOR PRE.. Ahah! Yes! Excellent you see? Magical luminescence completely on demand. Pretty much. Very briefly.

"This item, this wand was found just last cycle at a Delve not three weeks from where we stand. Completely intact, apart from this slight chunk missing from its underside and where a teeny, part of the shaft has broken off but, yes MAGIC. And several of the helpers may not have returned, but that is really besides the point isn't it?

Ah yes the magic! And what do we do with it? Oh well we must compile a report describing said item, where it was found et cetera and then demonstrate it to the Administration. Then if it’s deemed safe and not blas... uh not blas-tingly useless well then… we study it, boys and girls. We learn. And we improve.

"Now until you can read i’ll be doing a lot of talking so you’d best pay attention. Item one - .
Responsibilities of a Delver. Firstly, to follow the orders of the Primary Delvist in all regards. Item two, should the Primary Delvist be rendered ineffective, incapacitated or inhuman due to any of the five known spheres of magic, the Secondary must rise, but only should at least two-thirds of those remaining effective Delvers remain.

Once a Delve has concluded, all Delvers must prepare a Five-zero-thirteen report, signed and approved by the Secondary...."

There is a lot that is certain about your lot in life. It is fact that the Liberator saved you all from slavery and death. It is a fact that every adult must do their Duty. And it is fact that regular, like clockwork, the tenth month of every cycle culminates in earth-shattering Storm.

Well, except that time it didn’t. Then the next time it didn’t too.

You’re sitting in a rough semicircle on Stormgazer’s Bluff with your fellow students, and the tall and slim silhouette of Fabricist Yang leans across the grass in front of you.away from you. She raises her arms to greet the dawn greets the sun. You’re not sure whether you feel excited, earnest or frightened. Perhaps a mix of all three. You have had...intimate experience with the Storm, and of talking about it.

Yang exhales softly as dawn’s warmth brushes you all.

“Prentices,, close your eyes, hold your palms out like so, and look to the sun.”
You hear a few curses in pain beside you. “Close your eyes first please children.”
“This warmth you feel is the life of the world coming to greet you. Greet it, and accept it. What do you feel? What do you see?”

“Burning?” pipes up Trevor to a few chortles. “I feel safe,” you hear Parise say softly to your left. “I see sunflowers growing in a field,” and “I see my eyelids” come simultaneously from two others.

But you, you see nothing. Not the muted red of your eyelids, nor the sunlight pressing through. Just emptiness, and it scares you. As you remain still, you do start to feel something however. To your leftright. Wait, no it’s just herethere. It’s within reach, but horribly far. You shake your head irritably but the feeling doesn’t dissipate.

“Well children,” Fabricist Yang snaps you out of your reverie. “What you’re feeling is your life. This warmth and the images it conjure up are what we must remember. Why is this?
“Because of the Storm, Fabricist?” a timid sounding Vivan asks.

“Yes. Exactly, because of Storm, but perhaps not for the reasons you think. What does Storm mean to you?”
The answers come thick and fast, everyone has an answer. Dark. Scary. Deadly. Hungry. Red. Wet. Magi. Evil. Loud. Boring. Lightning. Red. Rain. Burning. Pain. Red. Ruby. Ruby. RubyRubyRuby RubyHim, you ^shout^

You open your eyes in panic. You’ve got a fingernail digging into your chest and you feel your body pulsing and you have to force yourself to move your hand away. It stings, but you didn’t pierce the skin. A half-crescent of angry... that-colour don’t think the colour mars your skin. You can’t see it, but you know it’s there. You are breathing heavily and blink, and you’re back on the knoll. Nobody is looking at you. Everyone else is smiling and relaxed.

You extend your palms again, but don’t dare close your eyes. You stare out to the east, across the broken ground and rough grasses that wind their lives toward the sea that you know exists at the end of it.

Eventually Fabricist Yang opens her own eyes and turns back to you all and tells you to sit.
“You’re all very right of course, Storm does mean all those things. It means huddling together. It means our cracked world. But what none of you said, and what none of you will have thought, is that Storm also means life.
“Just as the sun shines and warms us, Storm nourishes and saves us. There is safety in regularity. The bountiful rain it gives us flows across this land, and we know when it will be. What does this mean? It means we can plant crops at exactly the right time. It means we know exactly where the herds will be. It means we can order this manifestation of chaos. Wrestle it to our use.”
The class is saying nothing now, starting at Yang and hanging off her words.
“A cycle passes and we know when storm will hit, we can prepare for it. We can know it.”
She then sighs.

“At least… we did. The past two cycles are… somewhat troublesome. The Storm arrived early. You know it, we know it. It’s not exactly something anyone can keep secret. It is the great mystery of our time. It is what every Caelologist and Stormist has turned their attention to in every city. And it’s what we need from you all. New minds, new approaches, new eyes. We must see and observe this new Storm and we must understand it. We must, or…” she pauses. “We just have to.”
“But to learn of its future, we must look to the past, and note the present. For your studies, i will expect you all to memorise Storm patterns and rainfall. If we begin, Plenty sees the highest concentration of Storm rainfall in at least seventy of the past one hundred cycles. This is the primary reason its farmland is lush and bountiful. But in those thirty years it didn’t, Caolologists noted that Storm was particularly virulent around Vise. So, Fabricist Lia the Elder hypothesised that the two were linked…”
Yang enters into her prepared lecture and you try and
Yes. Him. the sad thought rises like a beat of your heart from your breast. You ignore it. It must leave and go away. It’s not real. The lecture is real. Focus on the lecture.



6th SecondToil, 261d

It’s your first study-day, and you’re hunched over a rickety and well-loved wooden desk in the corner of your room and hold your parchment up to the dim candlelight. You’ve made it through the first week of classes, and you are absolutely exhausted. You’re used to working hard, but you were not prepared for just how… repetitive everything would be! You’ve scratched out the alphabet hundreds of times, and done stupidly simple sums over and over again. You’re really struggling to get this whole writing thing down. Memorising the letters and numbers and concepts has been no trouble but your hands just don’t do what you want them to! You’ve also jotted down what you remember from your less, practical lessons.
There’s also the case of your stupid grass hat and what on earth you’re going to do about *that* little project.

Also also, there’s the little problem with how you’re going to earn your tuition.

The first week of Caelology and Anterology have been not much better, with your Fabricists pretty much droning on about basic knowledge on Storms and the Liberation. In Caelology you realised to your shock that some people had never even seen a Stormstrike before - not even from a safe distance. At least a handful of children lived in small farms or villages and spent the entire month holed up in their homes - their living and sleeping areas all being underground or dug into the side of a hill, with only simple, temporary structures built up around them and don’t even see the sky for the whole month.

At least Artiology you got to do something, even if it was holding different kinds of rock - something that isn’t very novel to someone from Gratitude.

You hear a yawn to your left, “This is so dull!” Trevor moans. He’s not wrong, and you succumb to your own yawn in response.
“If I have to listen to that old bugger Jantus moan on about the three hundred uses for sandstone again i’m going to just die! Rocks are so dull! I mean uh… no offense or your home city or anything,” Trevor laughs.
“When are we going to actually learn anything useful! I wanna DO something.
Like what, you ask.
“I dunno, we could explore the Academy a bit, we’ve got all day and exams aren't until Duty anyway! Well.. whaddya say Jeffrey?” Trevor looks at you his usual cheeky grin.

Vote 1 - A call to do something?
A. You tell him you’d love to… but you’re here to learn, you really just want to study as much as possible for the first bit at least! You don’t want to get kicked out!
B. Go exploring the Academy with Trevor! Let him choose where, you don’t care as long as it’s not here in this stuffy room squinting at newpyrus!
C. Say you really want to explore the city! Pick a spot on your map of Vise that interests you and go forth!
D. Say that you should go find some other students and see what they’re up to, maybe play a game?
E. Suggest you go and find one of your Initia Fabricists? Maybe you can find out more about something that interests you?
G. Something else?


Regardless of what we decide above to ease our/Trevor’s boredom, here’s how this portion of Jeffrey’s life will progress:
Each cycle will comprise a vote on how to spend the whole cycle, based on a preference system.
Each voter may vote for up to 3 letters. You may vote thrice for the same option if you wish or split any way you wish among any of the options below.
We will pause if anything noteworthy occurs mid-cycle.

To reiterate: every voter has three votes for the below list.

Vote 2 - Academy First Cycle
J. Lexicography - practice reading and writing. You think that this will be difficult to master, but apparently it’s very important
K. Quantology - practice sums, equations etc. You think you can nail this with little effort, but you’ll still need to try a bit
M. Artiology - work on your Artiology project. You don’t even have a firm idea yet. The more effort spent here the better and more impressive your final project will (probably) be.
N. Anterology - find out as much as you can about history, you are excited by the thoughts of delving the earth for its hidden secrets
O. Caeolology - memorise the treatises and theories about the Storm. Understanding the Storm may help you understand that colourthing that definitely didn’t happen?
P. Working for coin - there are odd jobs around that will pay. You haven’t learned enough in the Academy yet to be useful for professionals here, maybe in future cycles. Still, a bit of work throughout the cycle should add up to the 2 Lead Knuckles you’ll need to make it to next year.
Q. Exploring Vise - it’s a huge, whole city out there. There must be interesting things and people to find out about.
R. Exercising like Ma showed you - you are much healthier than you were even a cycle ago. Your previous commitment has enabled you to maintain your health, but you’ll have to make more effort if you want to become fitter and stronger.
S. Meditation - something happened when you tried what Yang showed you at Stormgazer’s Bluff. It was terrifying, but maybe facing it head on will help? Or it could drive you mad.
T. Socialise - with Trevor, or the others. Play games, study together, explore together, compare Artiology projects...making friends may help in lots of ways. It’s not been a focus of your childhood, maybe it will be of your youth?
U. [Another area of your life that you want to regularly devote time to]

The Prentices jokingly and(somewhat erroneously) refer to it as the 'Taxology Exam' at the end of the first week of Duty. for most of them, being from Vise itself, their parents will pay it if they can afford it. For you and the other 'rusties', generally your support is much further away so you will have to figure it out yourselves by the time Duty rolls around.

I'll let this vote stir around for a day or so to see if I can catch some more returning readers as its be good to see the spread of intentions before I try and normalise it out to something sensible.

I am currently thinking one vote per cycle. I won't default you out of working completely in an area otherwise you'll have to resort to unfair vote manipulation. Assume that even if nobody votes for Lexicology, for example, you'll still be doing some study in it. The other way is if we have low vote turnout while we get going, perhaps we could have a secondary runoff vote without the main winners to choose our minor focuses.

If during the simulation Jeffrey realises he's in trouble in one particular area, we will halt for a mid-cycle vote to give you a chance to address it.

B. Go exploring the Academy with Trevor! Let him choose where, you don’t care as long as it’s not here in this stuffy room squinting at newpyrus!

You throw down your quill and crack your knuckles. Some movement about will certainly help you get these cricks out of your neck at any rate.
You pull out your Prentice-issued map of the Academy and squint over its squiggles. You've wandered about a lot this week and gotten lost any number of times.


Trevor sigh and drags you away by your robe. “Come on, we’ve been cooped up hunched over parchment enough Jeffrey! Come! Lets go look outside for ourselves!”

You leave via the exterior door and you are both greeted by the evening sky. You and Trevor amble across the way firstly toward the Antero-Labs. Your lessons haven’t been held in any of the external faculty buildings, and it seems you wont be able to enter now either, the entrance is open, but guarded by two hefty looking Academy Custodia. The Custodia, as you’ve been told, are there for the sometimes heated arguments between Fabricists, or more commonly, brawls from Prentices who have quarrelled a bit too hard in class and need to settle it with fists and not quills. They’re also guardians to areas that are off limits for the youths, or even other Fabrici. No Anterologist wants a clumsy oaf of an Artisan to mess up delicate, irreplaceable Delve spoils after all!



They smile at you friendly enough, but you’re definitely not in the Anterology camp yet. Through the open door you see a standard stone walled room, but several broken (and you assume useless) but pretty baubles sit on a desk. You shrug, none of your business you guess.
You turn with Trevor and walk toward the imposing hunk of utilitarian grey monstrosity that is the Quantologic Compound across the western open courtyard. The building looks imposing in its simplicity from a distance, but as you get closer you can see the quarried blocks are all of different sizes, and even shapes, but still somehow fit together neatly with minimal cementing in between. It makes your head strain a little as you get near and your hair feels a bit on end and tingly and you say as much to Trevor.
"Yeah this place is weird Jeffrey. Can't imagine ever actually voluntarily going in there, gives me the creeps it does." He shivers a bit despite the balmy evening air. He gives the wall a bit of a kick, then scuttles away to the south, and you follow him.

In front of you is stark in its difference. Where the Compound is squat, misshapen and grey, the Library is marble, curved exquisitely like billowing cloth and carved by what must have been masons at the peak of their craft.



You’re along its northern wall and you follow it around to the main entrance. Its doors are hinged with enough brass it must have cost a prince’s fortune! A Custodian lazily watches you approach, but waves you off easily enough when they see your NewPrentice robes.

Imagine what could be found inside! Well, if you could read anyway. Still, as you walk away you think maybe next cycle…

You spend another hour or so wandering around with Trevor, trying to remember places on the map and matching them with the places you’ve already been. It’s a useful exercise at the least, and you and Trevor have a great evening.
As you get near the main Academy entrance you see a bunch of bunch of robed Fabricists up to the senior Fabrici’s first floor lodgings you see a bunch of robed Fabricists . You start to to continue on when you do a double take. Is that Oreologist Bortwin? You almost forgot, he’s the reason you even got invited here anyway! Maybe he forgot about you? Or maybe he didn’t expect you to be able to afford it? Or maybe he thinks you’re dead languishing in an Administration gaol cell somewhere.

Vote 3 - Wait is that...?
A. You yell and try and get his attention, and run up to the group of Fabricists! You’re excited to chat to him!
B. You walk over casually and try get a good eye in - is it actually Bortwin? It’s been a while and they’re quite far away, about 20-30 paces.
C. You shrug, if he wanted to talk to you he would have sought you out or welcomed you when you entered.
D. You nudge Trevor and dare him to throw a rock at the group before you both sprint away into the dark.
E. You throw it yourself! That’ll teach him to forget you!
F. Something else

B. You walk over casually and try get a good eye in - is it actually Bortwin? It’s been a while and they’re quite far away, about 20-30 paces.

You tell Trevor you think you recognise one of the Fabrici, and walk across to try and catch up to them and try and make sure. You manage to get close and without attracting scrutiny and see It is him! But it’s not just him, now you’re closer to the group of seven, you can see that it’s not just Fabricists in the mix, but one also wears Administration robes. And you recognise Lady Jinda all too well. And now that you’re primed, you recognise the shorter Fabricist wearing a green Stormist sash - it must be Stormist Chloy too!



They all look tired and dirty and from what you briefly overhear clearly have returned from somewhere.
‘...sick of finding rocks in my sandals, and in my bed! How on earth I end up with rocks in my bed I don’t know.’ Lady Jinda complains.
‘Jinda, let it be for tonight, we all need rest. We’ll convene in your Liason Office tomorrow after breakfast to get the report details straight.’ One of the strangers sighs and rubs his eyes, and yelps a bit when his accidentally rubs grit into his eyes.

They start to say their goodbyes, with Bortwin and three others about to head upstairs, Chloy and another younger Fabricist heading toward the inside, while Lady Jinda is turning grunts and turns away toward the main Academy entrance. You’ve only got a moment to decide whether to risk gaining everyone’s attention now. You’ve got classes tomorrow, no way you’ll be able to get near that meeting, let alone they’d never let a NewPrentice inside. Well unless you skip class.

Vote 4 - Dusty greetings
A. Announce your presence. Hey! Hey Oreologist Bortwin! It’s me, Jeffrey from Gratitude! You just want to have a quick chat with him and you don’t care about the others being there
B. Try and subtly get Bortwin’s attention. You’re not terribly good at subterfuge, but maybe you come up with a good idea (include your idea with vote)
C. Try and follow the Senior Fabricists upstairs. There is a Custodian letting them past, maybe you could try and pretend to be in their party and she won’t notice!
D. Follow Chloy and the other younger Fabricist inside and catch them alone to talk to them?
E. Follow Jinda and see where she’s going
F. Follow Jinda, but to talk to her
G. Leave them all alone. It’s too risky drawing attention to yourself right now. Go to sleep and head to class as normal in the morning.
H. Leave them all alone - for now. But skip out on your Lexicography class tomorrow to try and get near that report/meeting they talked about.
I. something else.

Vote 2 is now closed and is being worked on, we can continue this current slice of action while that goes on in parallel. If anything here starts having a drastic impact on that I can fix it or we can pause for a new round of voting.
