It seems that it is once again time for a periodic reminder of what behavior is acceptable where. Congratulations, everyone: it has been eight (8) months since my last post on this topic. A new record! However, let us not rest on our laurels, as I have recently borne witness to some of the most horrifying behavior yet.

Acceptable Library Behavior:
› Reading
› Quiet contemplation
› Listening to music
    › This insistence on Philip Glass over, say, Chopin continues to grate, but that is a topic for another time.
› Studying without narrating your thoughts aloud

Unacceptable Library Behavior:
› Eating fragrant foods
› Making out like a pair of schoolchildren
› Loudly humming to the aforementioned classical music, and in the wrong key
› Clipping your toenails ‼️

You may be asking yourselves: "Niko, surely no one is clipping their toenails in the library. Why even add that?" I regret to inform you that I saw it with my own eyes (I will not name names), and that it is the worst thing I have personally witnessed since Shaq's album release party in 1993. (Did you know Shaq released an album? Now you do.)

It is a small ship. Let us try to be kind to one another! And, if at all possible, spare each other such unpleasant sights.

So stop and stare?

[backdrive]

Or do an activity to give yourself some cover. Sometimes I pretend I'm untangling my headphones.

[finotti]

How often do you get caught?

[backdrive]

Maybe never! But I don't know what other people notice!

[finotti]

You've told everyone your tricks now

[backdrive]

I don't think anyone here really cares if I ogle them...

[finotti]

Some people probably want you to and you'll find out when they start taking their shirt off as soon as you enter the library

[backdrive]

Hahaha not if we make a clothes on in the library rule! Another reason not to.

[finotti]

Most people don't follow rules anyway

[backdrive]

I follow the rules.

[finotti]

Me too

[backdrive]

But you're right. There are a looooot of hooligans on this ship.

[finotti]

So I think you'll still get plenty to ogle

[backdrive]

And hopefully I don't see ANY feet!

[finotti]

Always look up

[backdrive]

That's probably good advice just in general!

[finotti]

But not too far up

[backdrive]

Why not?

[finotti]

The ceilings not worth getting a sore neck for

[backdrive]

Oh haha probably not. I do have to look at it sometimes to make sure nothing's wrong with it though!

[finotti]

Oh yeah you should definitely keep looking up

[backdrive]

Usually it's fine! But sometimes there's leaks and stuff.

[finotti]

What's the worst leak you've had?

[backdrive]

Oh, right before you two got here there was a big leak in the hydraulics in one of the Battlest hangars. That was a real pain! Mostly just because it's hard to move those planes without the hydraulic lifts working! But the fluid is also kind of [...] sticky is not the right word.

Thick? Slimy? Gummy?
