Fritz is a first year grad student and has to study for a test in his computer graphics class. Office hours are no longer available that day, but he knows that he will have questions. To remedy this, he goes to the Steam cafe, places himself on the map as feeling studious, and says that he is studying for the computer graphics test and would like some people to study with. His two friends Troy and Demetri have been working together on an assignment in the architecture library. They are tired and have lost motivation to study, but see that Fritz is working just a couple floors above them, and decide to get some coffee and meet up with him. Demetri gives Frtiz a call and takes the elevator with Troy to the Steam cafe.
