[A primer sounds like a good idea to him. He's got the information he got from Miss Buckley, but more information can't hurt. Going through, he ignores the books and makes a beeline for the man with white hair.]

Excuse me? Hi. Are you Mr. Dist?

[buildstherobots]

[Dist looks up from shelving a book, grinning brilliantly.]

Yes, I am Dist! Are you one of the newcomers?

[ontoinfinity]

Yeah. I've been here for about three weeks.

[He offers a hand.]

Diggory.

[buildstherobots]

[Shakes!]

Excellent. How much have you heard?

[He produces a folded letter from the inner pocket of his coat and hands it over.]

[ontoinfinity]

Just what I got from Miss Buckley - what happened at Christmas, and the whole Maipole thing, as well as about the Milkman.

[buildstherobots]

Good; those are important. Not the most important, but significant nonetheless.

[ontoinfinity]

[He nods.]

She seemed quite insistent on the importance of them. There's more in your pamphlet?

[buildstherobots]

Oh, it wouldn't be as long as it is if that were all. It's not everything there is to know, but for a newcomer such as yourself, well, it's absolutely perfect.

[ontoinfinity]

Thank you for putting it together. I'm sure it'll be really useful.

[buildstherobots]

Oh, it will absolutely be useful. It's been updated fully, which it's needed for some time and I've finally been able to work it into my busy schedule.

[ontoinfinity]

Brilliant.

[Beat, and he tucks the pamphlet into his schoolbag.]

I look forward to reading it when I get home.
