a sight for sore eyes,,, four computers, some used,,, im sure everyone else has something theyre already planning on doing, but what will i do?...
we're in a mystery, where do i start?

wrangle swiss into this. he can totally help you Crack The Case.

also, friend request Jaden and Swiss on Discord. or Telegram. or anything. you're a secret agent, so you need Contacts and Assets.

go on the deep web and look for liveleak videos of evil teachers. or car crash compilations

Go on the computer and play some random games on websites. Like flash games and the like. It'll be good to distract and de-stress yourself while everyone else figured it out.

>>1131820
Is that the squirrel lady on that computer. You can't harass her so search really weird videos on youtube and play them loudly to clal her attention.

Get on a computer and start typing things!

Check out browser history on a computer. Maybe somebody who was once as lost as you knew what they were looking for and asked the right questions online.

Browse google maps (or an equivalent internet map) of the town. You can look up your school (and from there, employees/teachers), your home, your current location, clinics, public transportation (bus routes) as well as phone numbers to any of them.

You can also look up Swiss's boy scout troupe.

DO NOT look up anything sketchy like porn, this is a public area and the owner/other people can later see what was browsed, or kids might stumble on it later. It might be pre-blocked anyway.

>>1131826
This is a library. We've already been scolded about being loud once.

Maya maya mayamayamayamayamayamaya look up car crash compilations on youtube right now.

You know I said that as a joke but there's a non-zero chance that could actually go somewhere

You gotta do some flash games. Is Nitrome still around?

>>1131820
You get on a puter.
Then you do the most awesome thing ever.
Search history an see what the FrEaKs who were on before you were into!
Lets deep dive into the twisted psyche of the average library user.

Oh! This looks really cool! One of thooose things.

Have you guys gone over how her world will end once the "God" is done or bored?

The "existentialism crisis" talk? I feel like this has already been done. I'm new here!

Is Maya gonna romance Jayden due to him being the first waifu? Swiss because he's roughly closer to her own age? Both of them to form a polycule or whatever its called?

>>1131820
I want Maya to play Madness Interactive on the library computer
Surely her life will be better after playing Madness Interactive on the library computer
The change she wants might be closer if she plays Madness Interactive on the library computer

While you are at the library, why not look up books that might interest you (or have high ratings online) and borrow one to read?

Probably one that won't trigger negative thoughts, that won't be too long/exhausting to read in your spare time, or one that you can focus on when you want to just drown out negativity for a bit. It's also a form of change.

Any genre you like? Comedy? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Comics? Something else? You could ask the polite librarian or Swiss for a recommendation.

>>1131820
Okay Jayden needs to do the serious looking at the computer or i Maya will just get distracted by flashy games and doujins like a of a small chunky cute cat getting wrestled into chokeholds by dogs

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else think Maya and Jayden should hold hands and kiss?

I feel dumb.

What happened to Maya's backpack? Does she still have it? was it left in the car or lost somewhere when she fell out of the car?

What will become of Jayden's car? Is he insured? Did he remember to grab his phone? Does he have any accumulated vacation days to deal with his loss of transport and whatever adventure he'll end up getting into with Maya? I the worse case scenario, could he sell his car for scrap and buy a used car? I don't remember what form of currency the animal people use, so I'll assume it's the dollar or pound, and that they haven't had to deal with inflation as of late, so at most Jayden might have to shill anywhere between 1-3k for a used car of good quality off of Craigslist or an online market?

Will Jayden recover all of his belongings from the interior of his car (glove box, trunk, center console, etc.)?

>>1132014
The car is not Mayas problem, nor a reason to overthink it (does a pedestrian getting hit by a car worry about the car being damaged?). That's what car insurance clerks are paid to do.

Getting the backpack is valid though. Maya last had it before getting in Jadens car, so its likely still there, probably in the back seat. Swiss/Jaden could help fetch it maybe?

Maya: "anyways!... you seen a squirrel here?"
"U-um, um, m-maybe?"
Maya: "great! let's chat!"
never done a 'questioning a witness' type of thing before, but theres a first time for everything, i suppose.

No reason to beat around the bush? Ask what they saw/recorded of the car crash and subsequent encounter with the teacher, in a sincere 'we need help' kind of way?

hmph. look at that nervous expression. they OBVIOUSLY saw something. GUILTY! obviously GUILTY! question this strange and cute Bear-type they/them!!!!!!!!

>>1132201
Ask them if the reason they turned around was because they like car crash videos like you. ask them if they're weird like you. You need to meet more weird people like you and collect them like pokemon

>>1132219
Maya said she if not the chest and eyelashes lie and its just a bare bear with suckable nipples that can choke hold a kitten

Since making this a normal conversation is already off the table, just get right into it. What was that weird squirrel lady up to?

>>1132201
I don't think there's a reason to play any mind games with this person. Let's keep it simple and straightforward. You and your friend were injured, and you think the squirrel might have some information that could help. Was she in here recently? We last saw her heading into the library around...

I think it was just before we met Swiss Cheese. Does he remember when that was? He's with us now, you could ask him.

>>1132213
This doesn't seem to be the squirrel we're looking for. She had big ears, a long tail, and long hair that covered one of her eyes, and she was wearing an open jacket.

>>1132251
If this isn't the squirrel who recorded you earlier, they might know who was using the computers last?

>>1132201
Resist the temptation to angle a lamp and shine it in her face.
It may work in old movies.
Here it probably wont.

Start out building a rapport by talking about a mutual interest.
Sooooo
Computers huh?
Neat how you can do... things on them.

>>1132201
Ask em if it's weird for teachers to get touchy feely with you and choke out strangers. Because your teacher sort of did that.

One second. Hey Maya, since you're already at the puter, try searching "teacher grooming student" or something along those lines. You are not really the first to uh....
Hmmmm. Yeah.

>>1132251
So I guess we're gonna be playing a game of where's waldo to find this squirrel?
Say, do you think this Library has cameras? I bet that'd help a lot.

Do you think Maya's school teaches their students hoe they can file their taxes, or explains what's a 401k plan? That's probably something they teach in Econimics right?

clearly Obviously this bear they/them must be a yuri-minded squirrel-stalker, and is afraid of Maya finding it out!!! this is great! yuri bear is going to know everything we need!

THEY'RE HIDING THE SQUIRREL UNDER HER HAT, "Ratatouille" STYLE! DE-CAP THEM, DETECTIVE!

why are they being so cagey?! they seem awful quick to want to escape. did they know the squirrel? are they covering for her? are they in... CAHOOTS?!
say something like "you seem awful nervous about that squirrel specifically. do you know her? she was recording my teacher assaulting me. did you know assault is a CRIME?? she has evidence of CRIMES!! against ME! do you see this black eye? that's the crime!!"
it's ok if it's a lie. just lie. pressure them!!

Anything they remember would be helpful

You have to lie Maya! Tell her you saw what she was doing on the computer, bluff about blackmail, say something that makes her think she can't just run away from you, because I know you aren't going to have the balls to restrain her physically! Things would be going so much better if she was afraid of you.

>>1132777
They know what the person was looking up on the computer but not what they looked like? That's rather suspicious. How did they know that?

Swiss: "Nice to meet you, Beartilda!"
Maya: "WHAT????????"

Aw Beartilda is adorable
Maya you aren't going to bully her right?

anyway now that she's lost her voice and can never live a normal life, she might as well stick around and answer your questions

>>1133245
Ah, I think I get it now. She's partially nonverbal and she was feeling nervous because you were drawing attention to her. I guess she's fine.

Now that we can communicate, would she be able to draw us a picture of the squirrel she saw?

>>1133243
Maya I think she just has social anxiety. Ask themif theyd like to be your friend and if holding her tummy soothes them or bothers them

on their notebook, that flag..... maya, that is a They/Them Nonbinary flag. this is a They/Them Beartilda!!!

Please explain to the They/Them Beartilda that this squirrel business is very important to you, and they are your only lead right now.

Grabbed by the Pussy has that effect on people just look at J-Dawg our D-Dog

What is so surprising about Beartilda?

Anywho, respect the pride flag. And assume they're a non-verbal, socially anxious mess. Not unlike yourself at times.

Good work swiss.
Thats gonna make things easier.

Daww beartilda is adorable.

Ok.
Explain its important you find them
You wouldnt have been so insistant if it wasnt.

I feel so bad for thinking beartilda has such a chrischan face when surprised with the cute double chin
