Geology is one of those sciences that everyone forgets about. It sits in the middle of magic and ideology, blurs the line between history and knowledge, channels catastrophes and the ways of life to create a record that cannot be undone.
The gentry understand this blurring of lines; they, too, dance around their ideas to channel a thought that cannot be spoken. And yet.
They fear geology, for the formations beneath the school predate them. They fear the idea that what was once there will be again, that the earth will all become nothing but silence- for while they do not like being mentioned, they would hate to be forgotten.
It’s a small department: the building is modern, like it was built as an afterthought once the giants of chemistry and physics and biology had constructed their own homes. The outside is all faded cement, twisting in on itself in a way that doesn’t seem quite flush with the laws of physics.

Elsewhere University – Groundskeeping’s Addendum
[Elsewhere University] [my other comics] [my art] [my ko-fi]
When I posted the first Elsewhere University comic, I had no idea what it was going to turn into over the following months. The community that’s grown out of it – the stories and art and obscure bits of folklore and science, the fortunetelling asks and vague anon prophecies, all of it building on itself and branching into places that still manage to take me by surprise – has created a weirder and more wonderful world than anything I could have imagined. This comic is meant as a celebration of everything that’s grown out of the stories set in Elsewhere, and an expression of gratitude. I wasn’t even close to being able to include everything; the Library alone would need a dozen pages. For those whose works I did include, I dearly hope I did them justice. Words can’t express what this world and community have grown to mean to me, but I hope this comes close. Thank you so much, all of you. Keep making amazing things.
