[Netbook]

[Someone's started sketching in their netbook, apparently unaware of how it works. It begins with a simple diagram of a grid warping around a sphere, drawn swiftly and precisely. Following that, more gridded planes, drawn warped into various shapes, some of which don't look very Euclidean. A few get scratched out. There's a pause.

And then, math. Complex formulas, written and worked quickly, bits sometimes erased and corrected, sometimes whole formulas scratched out. To anyone who might recognize it, it's a lot of calculations used when dealing with spacetime - and interestingly, some magical formulas in there as well, dealing more specifically with time.

Those magical formulas may be especially familiar to other Cookies versed in magic.

The actual values in use aren't from anywhere on the page, perhaps being pulled from elsewhere. Is someone trying to map or predict the movements of time here? Regardless, the speed and precision at which the formulas are scrawled is impressive, especially considering the handwriting remains sharp, simple, and legible, strokes made at neat and even intervals.

...It doesn't take long for the scrawlings to pause, however. Someone isn't used to getting headaches with this.]

[He follows it the best he can, but obviously the really crazy stuff starts going over his head pretty quick. That's okay, though, because its super interesting either way. He's definitely ...taking notes and scribbling some of this down.]

So, did anyone mention that the town can see the notebook you got when you arrived? I'm guessing not.
