I had planned to do detailed research and design for the college campus, but I ended up "winging it" for this page. The whole setting is from my imagination with no actual reference of any kind. There might be some similarity to my alma mater of Marshall University since I did spend seven years practically (or actually) living there, and the city of Used Books is also loosely inspired by Huntington, WV.

I originally scripted this as two pages, but it works as one. I had to drop two or three lines to get it to fit, though. Before asking how he is, Seiko was going to ask what brought him there. He's making a donation (as an alumnus). I also toyed with the idea of having Hecate with him, but I left her out for simplicity.

LanceDanger: Words to live by. XD

DAJB: I have. Doctors get paid the same either way. Pharmacists, on the other hand…

Tantz: Thanks. Transitions are a little choppy for this chapter :P, but I like the individual pages so far.

Peipei: It's actually a fair-sized city, but they do interact like townies. XD

Warpedwenger: Haha. Well, if I ever get a social life or a career, you'll know it – because updates will suddenly stop for no apparent reason. XD
