*whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee*

I got tricked by a trail of pretty lipstick into going to the gross Occult Research Club nerd room, and then I was put in a gold cage, and asked to sign something, and now I'm a member of their club, and made their club real, and now I have nerd stink on me and I'm ruined used goods!

Noone will ever want to touch me except fat 500 lbs nerds!

... Okay, humor me a moment.

How do you have "nerd stink" on you?

[morethaneverauburn]

I'm in the Occult Research Club!

The other 5 girls are losers!

[memoryistime]

How're they losers?

[morethaneverauburn]

They read weird old books and anything called "Occult" makes you a social pariah by like,

default!

[memoryistime]

Okay, but bear with me here.

If they didn't read "weird old books" or anything like that, would you consider them to be losers, then?

[morethaneverauburn]

Occult whatever is stuff only losers do.

[memoryistime]

So they wouldn't be considered losers if they didn't do "occult stuff", right?

[morethaneverauburn]

If they were the Make-Up or Fashion Club, they'd be cool.

Or they were a club focused on Vivi Valentine...

[memoryistime]

...

I feel vaguely like on the official records it's called the "Occult Research and Kissing Club" or something like that.

[morethaneverauburn]

So a bunch of fat sexless nerds trying to pretend they can get laid with one another. Groan.

[memoryistime]

Uh-huh.

But if they weren't in an "Occult club", they wouldn't be... what you just called them, right?

[morethaneverauburn]

But They Are An Occult Club.

It's like pouring rat poison into a cake!

[memoryistime]

Wondering if the curriculum should start integrating more sensitivity awareness or something...

[morethaneverauburn]

What in the what now?

And it's bad enough the black haired girl is trying to teach me how to Duel, if I kiss them, I'll wake up 700 lbs heavier!

[memoryistime]

You're kinda in a Dueling school.

Of course she's trying to teach you how to Duel.

[morethaneverauburn]

But only nerds do that!

And this Pendulum stuff is stupid!

[memoryistime]

Welcome to a school that literally centers around Dueling.

[morethaneverauburn]

I got sent here by two scary ladies who cackled ominously as I was shoved on the train thingy, they were both 6 feet tall!

[memoryistime]

Well, you're stuck here now.

Learn how to Duel.

[morethaneverauburn]

But noone will want to touch me!

[memoryistime]

You're in a school where everyone is Dueling. Connected to a city where you're basically required to have a deck.

Live with it.

[morethaneverauburn]

*whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine*

[angelinthemarble]

She's at least learned the Red and Blue Pendulum scales don't mean anything.

[memoryistime]

Oh, good, there's some kids who still don't get that part, it feels like. Feels like an abandoned quality that I2 just never got around to removing before release...

[angelinthemarble]

Getting her to understand what a win condition is however, has been a harder time, Mx. Samasu.

[memoryistime]

Just how badly are we talking here.

[angelinthemarble]

She doesn't want to use Selettrice Vaalmonica as a material for her Link Monsters, Performage Trapeze Magician, or Chaos Angel, because the Graveyard is scary. And Selettrice would get lonely in there and cry its eyes out.

Also, how Pendulum monsters work in general has been... an uphill battle.

[memoryistime]

Oh, she's... Empathizing in a sense? That's probably a good thing.

[angelinthemarble]

In a sense.

But the way she prioritizes things seems so. Disorganized. Like she was almost just told to think certain ways with no interconnecting tissue or logic.

I'm concerned about her ability to function if it wasn't for the fact she's connected to V.R.A.I.S.S.H., which is probably keeping her going.

It's fascinating and somewhat horrifying, Mx. Samasu.

[memoryistime]

Oh she's got a lot more going on than I know about, that explains a few things, okay.

That sounds pretty apt.

[angelinthemarble]

If you wish to know more, we can talk in private, Professor.

[memoryistime]

Oh, sure, that'll help out, maybe.

[angelinthemarble]

Physically or Digitally Private.

[memoryistime]

You're a student, right? Just come to my office sometime.

[Event Thread]

[angelinthemarble]

Alright. I'll bring a gift with me as well, Professor.

[morethaneverauburn]

Graveyards are scary. Who'd want to be in a Graveyard.

[memoryistime]

You'd be surprised, some monsters flourish with a Graveyard around.

[morethaneverauburn]

Yeah but those are bad things.

Kegare and all that.
