You should just hug her. From behind.

I've run the numbers. This shit is backed by all the science.

I'm liking the idea of holding her hand. Silently, there's no need for more words.

it took a lot of guts to say that, some form of response should be done im inclined to agree with the hand holding thing

Touch her chin with your cowlick.

>>364466
Man, that's so weird!

Hold her hand.

Now is your chance Rocco! Show her your feelings!

Give her a hug.

Ah- Wh- That- No, I-
But- Oh- Huh?
No- Wait!
Please don't be angry at each other!
I think- Maybe- Maybe you're all correct.. I-
Yes, it's true that I- I never had to do anything on my own. Ricci always took care of everything. But I- I never thought of it like I was depending on her. It felt more like.. like we were one, Rocco and Ricci, and we each were a part. But- But maybe you're right and I- I was really depending on her. I know that's bad.
I- Yes, that's probably right- Because I never had to do anything, everything is so difficult now..
But- But if I- if I could make people happy as long as I had Ricci, then- then wasn't that good?
I was happy back then, despite not having any friends like I do now- But, I can't go back to that anyway- But if I could be a bright light and be comfortable myself by depending on someone- But if I could grow and not be a burden on anyone- But maybe someone will be happy to carry me- But it couldn't be like with Ricci- But this is something bad to want? But it's easier- Ah- You're right, I'm lazy! Or- Or am I scared..?
Aaah! This is so confusing!
Ah, but.. couldn't I depend on someone and grow at the same time..?
Wait-
That's what I'm doing with you now!!
Ah! I'm sorry for depending on you!
Ah!
No- I mean- Yes! Yes, I am- I am very happy that she- What she said is- Yes-
Uhm!!
You're right! I should-
I should respond to Taisha!
Y- Yes! I am very happy- I mean- uh- I- Yes, it was very sweet of her to say!
Ah!
Wh- What do I say?
O- Okay-
H- Hold her hand?
Yes, okay-
Ah!

I want- I want to say so many things- But- But I don't even know what I am feeling- or thinking- or anything right now.
Oh.. Y- Yes, okay- That- That's true.. I don't really need to say anything- Taisha can probably feel the- uh- my- uhm.. something..

Taisha smiles- uhm- warmly..? Then continues walking.
I let out a deep sigh of- of relief. Somehow I am able to relax completely now..

Yeah, you're right. Eventhough I don't know if being dependant is what I should be, it- it does feel really good to know that- uhm- that I am valuable either way..
Thank you.

So, next step:
How does it taste?

Relax about the whole depending on us thing. To be honest, helping people is alllll we can do so we do this shit for shits and giggles.

Beware searching for someone to be dependant on while you grow and stuff for real people though, they could be taking advantage of you. Hell, if it's your eventual wife/girlfriend your dependent on, you're going to be her bitch for the rest of your life.

Shit son, somewhere else in your world, in the future,past, or present that already happened or is going to. A girly dude pretending to be a chick like you gets bitch-slapped, gets married to a girl that tried to cuntpunt him, which ending up being a testiclepunt and while that dominant girl and bitch husband ends up being rich their kid has emotional scarring and has to be competitive with everything for his mother's love and his father just goes along with whatever his mother says.

We should know, we helped that chick become what she is. A horrible, competitive bitch of a mother.

now break the tension by tripping and falling on your face and flipping your skirt over your head.

Hold her hand for real now, smile and thank her.

>"I'll be a boss one day!"
My silly friend, you're already a boss. Our lovable boss. I already pledged my allegiance to you, Rocco. I have trouble believing that you said that, anyway. Now... Why... Of all times! You stop to think about THAT right now... Look. We'll have time to discuss it later. You're too confused at the moment, and there is nothing we can do about this now. So be it... I would like to know Ricci better, and I really want to discuss this subject...

I hope you understand this without further ado, that depending and being helped are different things. Absence of dependence doesn't mean living alone, means becoming the center of your own life, being able to move forward even without the presence of a companion. No need to rush, though. You're becoming an adult, after all. Everything in its right time and place, you know.

Anyway, and this was said already, we just help you. Decisions and actions are yours. In return, you give us color. For that, we're grateful.

It is extremely ironic that I'm the one to say this, but... Back on track! Enjoy your good mood and the improvement of the situation. Talk to Taisha. Talk about her beautiful hair and munch it too. We need to confirm if Ricci's hair is special or not! That or touch the other possible topics: the unfinished business of the council, what Rachel had to talk; Deadmount, what to expect from them; and what you two will do together in the evening.

>>364848
Patrick and Janine, you say? And their son, Bernard? Regardless of all trips and falls, each meet a happy conclusion for their problems. Even now I treasure all these feelings about them and their stories. They were faster than Rocco, however.

>>364846
Hold her hand. Also, I bet your feeling of relaxation is because she smoothed down your hair-dongly. It was conducting bad vibes from the aether so make sure your hair doesn't stick up like that again.

>>364846
Well now that your finally alone with her and the feelings are good, let's get to know her some more! What kind of music does she like? Oh! Or maybe what kind of anime is she watching now!

>hold her hand
The moment has passed, there is no need to make things awkward.

A- Alright- Okay.. Well, even if you can't do anything else, I'm still grateful you're helping me..
Oh- I- Thank you for accepting me as your boss, but- but I don't mean to be your boss! I mean- I mean- I did pay for you, but- I don't know, I think that money is kind of meaningless when it comes to people- or- uhm- voices..
Oh- Oh, I see- Well- I'm happy I can bring color to your world- Would that be like your payment in exchange for helping me..?

Oh? Ah- Well- Y- Hmn- I didn't think about being dependant being something bad for me.. I thought more about being a burden on someone. Would I- Would I really become- uhm- a bi- uh- Would I get slapped around? I- I don't want that!
Do you feel slapped around by me sometimes? I hope you don't. If you are incapable of being independant then that will be really sad.

Ah! I- Y- Yes, you're right- I'm thinking too much at the wrong time. I must seem like I'm spacing out to Taisha!
Ah- uhm- Y- Yes- Alright- I'll try to stop and focus on the moment. It just- I just- I mean- I am happy that Taisha felt that way, but- uhm- if being dependant is bad then her support isn't good... or- or the other way around. But-
Ah- Y- Yes, right right! I'll just- I'll focus on how kind Taisha is.
Uhm!

Y- Yes, I'll ask that.
>Rocco: "Uhm.. Do we- I mean- Would you still like me to come over- uhm- play today?"
>Taisha: "Yes, of course! Oh- But we might not have t-time because of the gang and having to clean the office.. I'm sorry."
>Rocco: "Oh.. Uhm- Well- Maybe another time..?"
>Taisha: "Definitely~"
Ah- Now things got a little tense again.. Or maybe just me..

H- Hold her- Try holding her hand again?
O- Okay.. I- Maybe the moment is less right for it, but- uhm- It- You do make it seem like the best way to- uhm- to express myself without- uh- uhm- confusal thing.

I reach out to take her hand--

I remain still- But- uhm- Taisha takes my hand as well. Her hand feels really large and cold.
She smiles down to me- It's a really warm smile.
For a moment she looks really- uhm- really... uh... something impressive- My heart beats a little faster.

Ah.. Her hand is really big..

>"Oh! Sorry, the printers are unavailable right now. The computers are locking up."

S- So big that our hands don't really fit together.. It's a lot different than holding hands with Ricci.

>Taisha: "O- Oh.."

Ricci's hands are warm and a little sweaty, and our hands fit together perfectly. This is so different.. It's really different.
It's- Actually it's making me a little uncomfortable now..?!

...I need an adult.

Ok, do you know what they say about people with big hands?

...They wear big gloves.

But really, all joking aside. Be cool about it. Don't make it an issue. I know you've always held hands with Ricci, and now you're holding hands with Taisha. Different people, different hands. Just chill.

If you're uncomfortable about holding hands with her, then next time don't. Simple as that.

Note for future: get Taisha some fingerless gloves to keep her hands warm.

I propose we offer to help with the computer!

Let's install Arch Linux for the good girls!

mumble that you know a little about computers. we'll help you make it better.

Payment? Friends don't do this, Rocco. You're happy with us, we're happy with you. That's all. Anyway, as much as I enjoy this exchange of compliments, your schedule is full. Let's move on.

How are you feeling? Uncomfortable as when Ricci demonstrates her passion, as when Rachel stares at you? Think about this. You need to know. It's lack of experience, loneliness or just your big heart? Not now, however. Later, when you're not overwhelmed by this feeling.

Now, focus! The posters. We need them. It's time to show your initiative and ability. Luckily, some of us are able to help you. Stay as calm as possible. Listen to our advice and calmly proceed as indicated. Don't be afraid of mistakes, nor ashamed to ask.

I don't want to touch this subject now, but... For you, life at an all-girls boarding school can be quite... exciting. No need to be ashamed! You're a healthy boy! This is natural! Anyway, are you sure that you don't need some... relieve? I mean, in the shower... Without us and lube, of course! Unless you really need our help with this too...

Scream "I HATE COMPUTERS," and leap out the window.

Disengage hands. Step up to desk, cutely peek around, asking if it's anything you can help with.

If there's one thing the voices in this orb know how to do, it's inappropriate relationships. If there are two things, it's fix problems with computers.

>>365263
Inappropriate? Inappropriate!?

Preposterous! I never... You uncultured swine! How can you doubt the purity of their love? How dare you try to tarnish the honor of Miss Ricci!? This aggravates me deeply! A duel! Choose! Weapons, place and time! This insult shall be washed with your blood, despicable and vile creature!

>>365283

Take it to the discusion thread, you guys.

>>365226
Let's FIX THAT COMPUTER! Also try not to act like holding hands is a big deal. It's not like you two are like, walking close together holding hands and smiling, lost in eachothers eyes.

computer problems eh? well that sounds like something straight up Taisha's alley, ask her if she would like to help them out,if yes provide support with a hand squeeze a thumbs up and the like.

>>365226
Do you dislike it?

Its interesting that you have your hand on the inside. Most guys will just automatically do the opposite.

Well- uhm- Yes- I mean- No, I don't- I mean- Yes, I do dislike it right now b-because it's making me uncomfortable..
Y- Yeah, that's true, maybe it's just another thing I need to get used to.
I didn't know holding hands was so important to me.. I wonder if Ricci feels the same?
But- Yes- Okay, I'll try not to make it a big deal thing.

Oh- You mean giving her gloves because her hands are cold? That would be a great gift I think! But- But- uhm- ..Won't she take it the wrong way? Well- I don't know where to get gloves right now a- anyway..

Ah- Oh-
Uhm- Y- Yeah, you're right, we should- uhm- We can talk about you and me later. Maybe I go to sleep maybe? And we can talk about what happened during the day too. Though- uhm- maybe that's too much of a wait...

B- I don't know anything about- uhm-
I'm really bad with technical things.... D- Don't you remember? Even with your help it was really hard for me. I- Thank you for encouraging me, but I can't help here.. I- I'm sorry..
Ah-
Now that I'm- uhm- I'm really confronted by it like this I do feel- uhm- well- useless again- Oh!
Oh, y- Yeah, th- that's true! Uhm-!
Taisha did say she was good with computers, d- didn't she? And she said she liked working with people.
Hmn.. Y- Yes, th- She doesn't look like she's going to say it herself- Ah- Yes!
This is where I can help!

>Taisha: "Excuse my int-trusion.."
>"Thank you very much- We do photography and graphic design- We don't really know much about computers apart from the editing software."

Taisha looks pretty tense- She keeps looking at the girls and I think trying not to bump into them or- uhm- block their view or something... She seems really nervous, but- but at the same time also like she's really enjoying herself..

scoot up across from her and just smile

Get the girls to back off. Nobody likes working when there's someone hovering over your shoulder.

Maybe distract them with conversation? For example, show them the 'secret agent' in your notebook and ask for pointers. You might be able to create a bond over your artistic endeavors.

Finally, Rocco, you're underestimating both us and yourself. Working with computers requires attention/accuracy and very precise logical thinking; we can provide the latter, while you are perfectly capable of carrying out our suggestions. This is no rocket science.

>>366249
Oh, by the way, isn't that a familiar face on the big picture on the board?

I wonder why was Taisha nervous...

>>366247
I believe Taisha wanted to be a teacher when she graduates so this is great practice. Unfortunately there seems to be only one screen so it will be cramped quarters if she is to show them how to fix things. Id say stay close enough to let her know you are there but try not to add to the small spaces You might need to get her to talk about the problem. make it so she explains the problem to you so
1. she isn't nervous
2.the girls who are actually watching will also benefit from it.
something like oh, "do you see what the problem is?" or " how does that work?" might work

investigate picture on the board there.

>>366251
>Oh, by the way, isn't that a familiar face on the big picture on the board?
Hello! Get a good look at that. Increase your Grit points by doing masculine actions such a oogling! Balance your masculinity and femininity! Let's make a game out of that.

Hey, this is kind of risky as fuck considering the way we operate, but why not give us to her for a spliiiiit second. As a good luck charm. We'll pretend to be her inner thoughts, hopefully she'll get confused as to her nature. This way, we get to help her out and put positive thoughts into her head! All it takes is one voice to fuck everything up though, so that's why it's a risk! But goddamn do I want to peer into that problem bit by bit and maybe just see how Taisha operates.

What's that plugged into the box on the back of that computer desk? a USB stick or something?

When's your next class?

Become the first IT cheerleader.

*ahem* DO! NOT! LOOK! AT! THE! BOARD! Not now! You'll be left useless if you do! Save it for when you're leaving! Trust me on this!

Now, leave the girls where they are. This doesn't seem like work for Taisha, but something she truly enjoys doing. Stay beside your friend. To give her confidence, to help her teach and answer questions, to give some support - we can help you with the last one.

Really, asking for Taisha's help instead of trying to solve it alone was a wise decision. Well done.

Oh! Hey! You found it! Just a little, but you found it! You can encourage people! You can help them to better understand the situation, to be honest with themselves! In fact, you've done the same for Ricci, Krystal and Dana! And that lady at the store! I can only wonder how much you're able to do, Rocco!

Wait... You really want to talk about... You and us? I mean... This reassures you or something? All right! If you're so willing to do so, I doubt that this will mess with your other activities! Have any question that you would like to do?

>>366254
Oh, yeah! Let's make Taisha be harassed by countless voices from nowhere! No! As much as I like your way of thinking, this will only end in disaster! This will probably blow Rocco's cover and scare Taisha for life!

>>366260

for your very SOUL, glance not at the board.

and another thing, giving us to Taisha will not serve any perpose.

Don't look at Rachel's butt. Don't look at it. Don't remember the kitty panties. Don't picture Taisha in kitty panties.

Ah? Oh- You mean Taisha is bothered by the girls? Or.. Oh- Y- Yeah, that's true. Taisha did say she wanted to teach at the computer club.
Though she's still very quiet.. I remember Rachel saying Taisha doesn't open up to others like she does to me.
Hmn? Oh! R- Right, yes, I should continue to encourage her. Okay- uhm- I'll ask her about the problem.. Maybe that will- uhm- remove- uh- the barrier a bit..?

Before we go check the printers, I'd like t-to make sure if it isn't a blah blah, so I go through this blah blah blah t-to blah blah blah blah..."
Uh- Uhm- Taisha goes on for a while- I- I don't really understand any of it, but the- uhm- the girls seem very interested. Taisha looks even more nervous now, but also more excited I think!

Wh- What horny bast- uhm- people? Oh- Wh- You mean you are the horny people?
So I shouldn't look? I should?
Is it porn? Is it the porn Rachel would look at?!
Ah- Uhm- I mean- uh- Oh- No- Wait- N- No, there wouldn't be- uhm- pornography on the wall like that...
So what is it you're talking abou--WWWHHHHH--?!
>Rocco: "--?!"

Wha- What?! Why is there-
President Rachel 2009 Autumn Lake Party Photo Album?! --Oh- Oh, it's just a swimsuit- Ah, but it's still really revealing! Right?
..Wait, why is this on the wall?! I- This- Isn't this kind of- uhm- disrespectful?
Or maybe- Maybe it really is just a photo- just- just a normal photo, and I'm the only one who thinks it's se-- I mean- uh- in- inappropriate. Though- But- It's the only print that's this big!

>>366909
She has many admirers. She admits this herself.

>>366909
Look at the other photographs and read the post-it notes on them. It looks like they're some kind of composition comments and what have you; maybe the yearbook club or the photography club or something are doing these. The girls here did say that they do photography and graphic design mostly, so it's a good bet that they have all these pictures here for that reason.

Though they obviously also think that having a pinup image of Rachel on the wall is a good thing, or it wouldn't still be there even though it was rejected.

Anyway, you're heading into yet another embarrassment/freakout spiral here, so calm down and get yourself under control before you totally lose it.

>>366909
Rocco! Read the notes! I can't read the note under the armpit hair one!

Disrespectful? I don't think so, she doesn't get embarrassed easily. And after all that picture was certainly taken with her permission and if she wanted them to dispose of it she would have had them do so. As to it being denied it might have been just to not put more fuel onto the fangirl fire or it might not have been Rachels call at all.

read all the post-its out loud

You resisted well. Since you're here, look for photos of the philosophy club. They have yearbooks? While Taisha is busy, flip through them quickly. Search for any particularity among the former members of the philosophy club, not to mention the former leaders of the sports dorm.

>You mean you are the horny people?
Please, you need to understand. There's no stimuli within the orb. That's why we act so "cheerfully" when a new owner calls for our help. It's the only way for us to live. Please, forgive our parasite nature.

The wisest holders simply break us into pieces before we can use our dubious influence. However, you treated us with affection and respect, more than anyone before. That's why payments aren't required. Being next to you is more than enough.

Anyway, we tried some different things, without much luck or success. Like that Globe of Death in 2009 (Earth 2), but such maneuver ended in various degrees of wrong.

I think these are propositions for cover page designs for... something. A magazine maybe?
0 (optional). Burn the details of Rachel's radiant image into your memory.
1. Examine the Philosophy poster, read notes.
2. Ask the girls about the story behind the photo. Why was it taken, what were they planning to do with it, etc - get as much information as you can. Evade questions about why are you interested.

.... Oh. Oh my. As usual, I realize something important after I've made the first post.

Oh... huh. Well we can't be sure it's an annual thing, they may have different plans this year. We can ask about field trips later.

don't get a boner.

>>366980
Taking into account that his genitals are tucked in, an erection would be extremely uncomfortable.

Calm yourself, Rocco. Forget that you're surrounded by beautiful ladies. Remember the reason you're here.

>>367017
>Calm yourself, Rocco. Forget that you're surrounded by beautiful ladies.
I don't see this working.
>Remember the reason you're here.
...To boink his sister?

We (and Rocco) should stop pretending "normal" is the word of the day and just go with the flow. Even if that flow leads into a gigantic lesbian orgy where nobody but Rocco knows they are participating.

...ESPECIALLY if it leads to that.

put your nose up against the picture of rachel's butt and sniff awkward and loud.

>>367021
You don't realize how tempting it is to let Rocco answer that. However, this would mean another further delay in his progress.

He just wants to be at his sister's side. While the nature of his feelings is still unknown, one of his biggest motives was the fact that he hadn't noticed her distress. Yes, guilt. The purity of her needs no defense. She sacrificed her love for the sake of her brother. Even against all doubt and uncertainty, he bravely offered his sister a chance to be happy, together or separately. Sex is just a consequence of a romantic relationship, which still shows no signs of appearing.

Not only that, our benevolent holder made ​​wonderful discoveries. Right now he begins to walk his path and find his place in the world, the beginning of his life as an adult. Truth be told, the stimuli and challenges are great, but the rewards for this adventure by far outweigh them.

>>366909
its just a photo of Rachel at the beach, granted its a good photo of her but nothing to get excited about. Altho that poster hung in the counsel room for the meeting with Deadmount might prove useful. always good to have the enemy slightly distracted during meetings.

Dont forget why you are here. you need to find out about the posters AND make sure of a positive outcome with Taisha and her teaching instructions.

>>367108
>another further delay in his progress
You mean /quest/ SOP?

>He just wants to be at his sister's side. While the nature of his feelings is still unknown, one of his biggest motives was the fact that he hadn't noticed her distress. Yes, guilt.
He wants to be at his sister's side because of guilt? Super cool selfless story, bro.

>The purity of her needs no defense.
What?
>She sacrificed her love for the sake of her brother.
Or we could just say she ran away from the problem.
>Even against all doubt and uncertainty, he bravely offered his sister a chance to be happy, together or separately.
Infiltrating a girls' school isn't a brave offer of a chance for anything.
>Sex is just a consequence of a romantic relationship, which still shows no signs of appearing.
Aside from that part of my comment being merely a blatant oversimplification of the matter, unless Rocco suffers from some medical anomaly, he wants to fuck.
In fact, if we discover that being surrounded by all these girls does not cause "problems" for Rocco, we and/or Rocco should be concerned.

>Not only that, our benevolent holder made ​​wonderful discoveries. Right now he begins to walk his path and find his place in the world, the beginning of his life as an adult.
That's quite the nice way of describing something which EVERYONE goes through unless they are CRITICALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL.
>Truth be told, the stimuli and challenges are great, but the rewards for this adventure by far outweigh them.
And what are these rewards you speak of?


Also ROCCO NO DO NOT EVEN THINK OF STEALING THAT PICTURE NO STOP DO NOT TAKE IT OFF THE BOARD AND PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET LIKE SOME SNEAKY PERV. THAT'S RUDE. Simply offer to purchase a copy. Or blatantly rip it off the wall and stuff it in your pocket while glaring at the girls. Shouting "ODIN!" and running away is optional.

Also make sure they're actually trying to fix the computer and not just playing Skyrim. Everybody's playing Skyrim these days and not getting any work done.

>Also make sure they're actually trying to fix the computer and not just playing Skyrim. Everybody's playing Skyrim these days and not getting any work done.
Or we can ask the girls for pointers and try to shout the Philosophy club into submission. Yay Dovakiin!Rocco!

>>367280
You dare to nitpick and take out of context? Miserable little pile of lies and slander, your arrogance and wickedness are abominations beyond my comprehension! But enough talk... I'll leave you to him! It's past time for Rocco to see our vileness and depravity! I want to see how he takes this blow and faces this obstacle!

>Skyrim
All true adventurers strive for the awesomeness of Skyrim! Blame your own lack of appeal, crude speech, imbeciles suggestions and dull jokes!

there is no need for such crassness. there is no point making a big deal of the poster, and we now know we shall have to discover how we will deal with... waring a swimsuit.

>swimsuit
Believe me, this isn't a problem as you think. The absurd shyness and easy excitement of Rocco are our real obstacles. It wouldn't be foolish to say that he needs some... training? To the bathroom!

After he gets some mental stability, buy a swimsuit, cope with an impending erection, print the posters, attend to his classes and solve any other problems until he finds some free time, of course...

Wh- N- No! I'm not getting a- an erection! I mean- Uhm! This is- Rachel looks good but- But it's a photo and- uh- she's- uh- she's in her bathing suit, so- I mean- I saw her panties, so- I mean- No! Wait! I mean- Uh!!
Yes- No! I'm not going to steal it either! I am also not going to steal her swimsuit-! I mean- Wait- You didn't say that..? Ah! I mean!
Okay- Well- Uh- Right-
Right- Right right, I will- I will calm down- It's okay- uhm..
Wh.. Why are you bringing up wearing a swimsuit though? O- Oh, so I- So I can get used to it..? Does that mean since I'm wearing girls underwear I can handle seeing that easier too..? Ah- Wh-! I'm wearing girls underwear!!

Ah- Okay! Uh! Uhm-!
Y- Yes, something else- uhm-
Yes- Yes, it does say 'Permission was denied' with crying faces. Yeah, you're right- They must have been planning to print it more, but Rachel didn't let them. I- I do feel kind of relieved knowing that..
It also kind of seems like Rachel to allow them to keep this up. She can be pretty easy going... I think she only got- uhm- strict with the three sports champions- ..and.. and with me..
Ah, Rachel- I feel a little bad leaving her behind now.
Oh- But- Yes- It is very good- I mean- I'm very happy I could help Taisha like this. They- They seem- uhm- Taisha and the girls are still occupied, so it seems things are going smoothly.

Uhm- Oh- uh- The post-it notes-
They seem to be comments on the posters. I can tell two people wrote on them- The handwriting is pretty different. Maybe those two girls..?
Ah- Well- Uhm-
The notes on the poster with Liberty jumping say.. .. uh.. .. C- 'Can we edit out the armpit hair', followed by 'Yes, then let's also add lipstick and enlarge her bust', followed by 'And add a thong'. Do you think they meant that jokingly..? It seems pretty rude.
Uhm, the one with Long says 'This angle is really awkward. Can we get better photos?' then 'I'll ask'.
The Rachel one says- Ah! That swimsuit is really revealing! Uhm!! It- Yes, the post its! Uhm! Uh! It says 'Permission was denied' with a sad face, and then 'sucks' with a crying face.
Ah? The Philosophy poster? Oh yeah-

You're right, this must be the poster for the philosophy club. It says 'Philosophy with Company' then- uhm- I'll lift the post it for a moment..
'You don't have to think alone! The same questions have been pondered through out the ages, and everyone has a different answer. Come share your thoughts, and learn from others!'
It's followed by a picture of two girls listening to a skull..? That's a bit- Y- Yeah, the post it says 'Hey isn't this kind of creepy?', but then 'Too deep for you?'. Well, I think it's kind of creepy...
Oh- But- That looks like Penelope and that other tall girl. Except they seem much- uhm- cleaner and not like they haven't been sleeping. Or crying..?
On the bottom it says 'The Philosophy Club. Extended building, room A210.'
Hmm.. So if I want to find them, that's where I need to go--

Wait- Actually- The way Taisha was looking at the board- Maybe this is what she wanted me to see?? After she- uh- after telling me the- in the hall way--
Or- Or did she just- uhm- Did she just want to show me the Rachel poster..?
Or maybe she didn't want me to see either of them?
Hmmnn..

It wouldn't be terribly surprising if she'd like you to see both, but the philosophy club poster is more useful. If you want to talk to them, that's your chance.

I will take back my words.

If you decide to meet the disbanded Philosophy Club, tell this to Taisha. Somebody needs to know where you are. Anyway, do not force yourself. Calm down, drink water and think about what you have to do now.

Its definitely worth investigating further, i agree tho if you do go tell someone.
Taisha may know more she may even answer some questions if you can get her to open up.
also we now know where the Supernatural Investigation Club is. Z000 is in fact the basement.

You should play with Taisha.

>>375281
actually, now that i think of it. you may have missed something important while examining the posters. she may have been looking to you for aid in something, id ask how its going.

There, on the SOS-Dan poster, isn't that Taisha? Maybe that's what she didn't want us to see?

>>375388
Nah, that can't be her. A lot of features don't match up. Either that or my eyes are broke.

Yes! Ask Taisha if she needs help with anything. Also you might want to check out that Supernatural Club sometime. You do like supernatural stuff right?

... Taisha seems flushed. That's interesting.

Who is performing Romeo and Juliet? Who's advertising the meteorology club? Skim over the remaining posters to see if there's something interesting, then >>375379.

Hm? She didn't want me to see this poster?
Ah- You're right, it's the poster for the- uh- Supernatural Investigation Club. But- That's Taisha? No, this isn't Taisha.. Her hair- uh- Taisha's hair is really beautiful and silky- I mean- uh- Well- Yeah, they don't really look alike. Uhm- I'm sure Taisha wouldn't mind me seeing this...
I guess the basement is kind of appropriate for supernatural investigations.


...


.. Ah- uhm- This- This girl is really creeping me out. I- I hope it's not because of the eyepatch- I'd feel really bad!

Oh-
The other posters are- uhm- Romeo and Juliet as performed by The Thespian Gathering..? Oh, it says 'drama club' under it.
Oh! Uhm- uh- That looks like Laura from the- uh- from the culture dorm!

And that poster is- uh- "Predicting the future! We can't control weather, but we can understand it. METEOROLOGY CLUB!" Ah- I think I remember this girl from the academics dorm yesterday. Maybe she was the one saying it was- uh- it was going to rain..?

Ah- uhm- So you think I should- I mean- You are sure I should go see the philosophy club..? Ah- I- You're right, I should tell Taisha if I do- Oh- Now that you mention it, I- Uh- It feels like Taisha would be the only one okay with me going to do that..
Oh- You do think she wanted me to see the poster to help me..?
But.. You also think she wanted to show me the- uhm- uh- with- the Rachel one.. ..? Well- uhm- I suppose she would have wanted to show me that in any case..

Hm? Ah?! Uhm- Taisha needs my help?!
Ah- uh- Oh- I didn't know- uhm-
I'll- Y- Yeah, yes, I'll just- I'll ask if everything is- uh- going okay.
Uhm-!
>Rocco: "Uhm- Is everything working out?"
Taisha looks up to me.
>Taisha: "Yes, it is. I'm showing--"
Uh- She's suddenly startled-?
>Taisha: "Oh, Rosho, were you wait-ting? I'm sorry, I'll quickly.."
She looks at the girls, who look back questioningly.
>Taisha: "Ah..."

"What? No! I was just looking at the posters of the clubs and stuff, you were staring and I thought you needed something. Don't worry about me."

Something to that affect.

no, yo. chill.

"Don't worry, take your time. The Machine Spirit doesn't like it when you rush the maintenance."
Come closer, get a view of the screen.
"So, what were you showing?"

Well you can still help Taisha with Eye Power. Sit down and stare at her intently while she does her work and focus your attention and willingness to assist. Observation makes a difference. Quantum theory tells us so.

Also bet you it's the god damn print drivers.

You managed to restrain your erection? Are you sure?

> ...
Dignified composure with faint smile and eerie glare, as if she were able to see through your soul. Intimidating, is it not? It is easier to deal with someone like Rachel and Ricci, whose intensity and intent are clearer.

> .. Ah- uhm- This- This girl is really creeping me out.
I thought you would understand, since you are an enthusiast of the occult. Do you not feel an irresistible urge to meet her? To take a step in the darkness, away from the brightness of the president and your sister?

> So you think I should- I mean- You are sure I should go see the philosophy club..?
No, I just wanted to see your answer. Rocco, I doubt that the approach of Rachel is sufficient to solve this problem satisfactorily. However, you lack will. This way you will not be able to face them, let alone help them.

> I'll- Y- Yeah, yes, I'll just- I'll ask if everything is- uh- going okay.
I do not like to play the role of White Rabbit, but your schedule is tight. You still need to lunch, distribute posters and prepare for your next class. Not to mention the cleanup, the election at the sports dorm, the Supernatural Investigation Club and the date with Taisha.

>>375734
im sure she just looks creepy in the photo,
i bet she's a really nice person once you meet her, remember don't judge on looks.
