Certain colleges get ruled out right away, SUNY Purchase comes up before zara's eyes and well

'Visually speaking" Earl says "It's ...ah , if one is a fan of Brutalist design I suppose"

"It's horrid!"

Earl says "I didn't want to sway you but this place is..." a nod "Yeah."

"Like.... Camazotz!"

"I... look out" He says and guides her to the side as a Flash mob of performance arists burst into some weird stomp dance. One of them is a satyr. another a rhino pooka, "At least it has some fae presence, but I.. don't think it's your style of creativity either"

A soft hiss. "No."

He pulls her away as they stomp rhythmically to celebrate the Earth's natal joining or something "Hope you have your earplugs with you"

"Always, aye..."

They move on... and move onto another college.

Well, which is redundant, but they have a guide. Sir Bachdion of all folks waits for them. "Great Dance scene here, but not your cup of tea?""

A soft sniff. "I suppose it works for some. But everything is so new..."

"Understood, " the Satyr grump nods "Any particular place in particlar next? I can only take you to where I've been but I have traveled and educatio nis of interest to me so I may have been there or can at least get us closer. Thanks to Sir Earl I have plenty of dross."

Earl blushes and looks at his shoes.
