>Natalie Gears stands before Tali. Her hair is a mess and sweat runs down her face. The girl sways and pants as she pushes the newly created artifact towards Tali.

"So," She says. "You'll join us now, right?"

>>36252719
>Fool/Death
Worry intensifies

>>36252769

Science and Dungeon clubs are the ebst. They go well together, adn the orb can really help both of them by analyzing magic.

>>36252769
Do it you pointy-eared moron. We want to science.

>>36252769
Um. Yes.

>>36252769
Take the artifact and run.
Tali, don't you want to have fun with Fuwa and watch anime all day? Or go diving with Katherine?
YOU CAN'T DENY IT, KNIFE EAR.

who /maq/ here?

>>36252769

We'll think about it. Still want to check out the rest of the clubs real fast, since coming to a decision seems to be coming fast.

Eastern club best club.

>>36252769
Of course accept you dimwitted tree hugging brown flattie.

>>36252769
>"So," She says. "You'll join us now, right?"
Yes

>>36252769
Well, yeah.

As long as we can steal your secrets at the end of the day.
And create an artificial body for the orb so we can escape.

>>36252769
Say yes.

And put the cat thing on the orb.

>>36252769
"Look, Tali."
"The science club sounds useful, but remember your true goal here. Will these science guys allow you to keep a low cover in this sneaking mission?"
"Remember the basics of Glamour."

multi clubbing is discouraged but not outright forbidden.

>>36252769
Don't forget your mission, Tali. This is the best way to get those secrets.

You haven't been slacking, have you?

>>36252769
hell yeah you'll join
they can actually do stuff
what important knowledge are you gonna steal from the beauty club?

>>36252773
Why? Fool OP. Now we can has all the personas.

>>36252769
She's club leader, right? And this little thing wore her out. Tali... Do you really think you could do much with your current skills?

Honestly think dungeon diving will get you farther along. Especially since it's already been shown Ceer level artifacts can be in there

>>36252769
Go for it Tali.
She worked really hard to recruit you.

>>36252769
I guess

>>36252769
I want to go see Vaisi

>>36252896
This, dungeon diving and literary, I guess?

If they keep all their spellbooks in the library, it'd be easy to steal something under the pretense of doing SCIENCE!

>>36252769
What such impulsiveness, what could possibly go wrong? Join the club!

>>36252769
Tali, remember the Basics of CQC.

>>36252773
I think one of those is Tali and one of those is the Orb.

So are we the fool or are we Death? I want to say we're Death since we're the unseen thing behind the Fool.

>>36252945
With* goddamnit

>>36252958
Yeah, but remember. We aren't the Orb of Good Ideas for a reason.

>>36252958
>While it is associated with foreboding and of doom, Death Arcana also symbolizes the metamorphosis and deep change, regeneration and cycles. In the original Tarot deck, it is the only Arcana that doesn't have a name, but the drawing of a skeleton wielding a scythe led people to call it Death.
Sounds like Tali's both.

>>36252773
Nah Death is perfectly fine, in Tarot it just signifies change, usually an important one, I mean it could be us, but it's not a bad thing

>>36252769
Treasures from a dungeon are not secrets, we are here for secrets. join up.

plus she worked really hard and she possibly saved your life

>>36253027
Death is obviously because Tali is about to summon Nyx and provoke the Grand Fall through his sheer stupidity.

>>36253046
Dungeon can contain secrets though, both ancient secrets and secrets belonging to those who failed before us.

>>36252719
Only if they let us go dungeon diving too.
Not only do we get artifacts there, but thats also where people will use the really interesting spells.

>>36253075
Well, we can make artifacts for the dungeon delvers, in exchange for them letting us examine what they find.

Then we can analyze the old relics, learn their secrets, and "misplace" a few by accident.

>>36253075
Secrets?
Yes.

The secrets we were sent here to steal?
No.

Get your head in the game senpai.
This is why we're trapped in a fucking Christmas ornament instead of having limbs.

>>36253157
>The secrets we were sent here to steal?
>No.
They hand all the other stuff out for free anyway.
If there are any secrets people could have trouble getting it would be in those dungeons.

>>36252769
Can you see spoilered text?

>>36253157
We weren't here to steal specific secrets, we're here to steal ALL THE SECRETS.
Now stop being a faggot and let's get to it.

>>36253027

Yeah, I think if people want the actual concept of death in the tarot I believe it's tower, right?

I'm not too familiar with tarot, but I always like to read up on it to try to understand it further.

"I... Might. I still want to see the others but you're definitely my top choice right now."

"Sooo... That's a yes?"

"It's a definite maybe. The other ones just sound really really good."

"..."

>Dr. Gears leans forward and grabs Tali by his cloak. She pulls him in with a strength Tali would not have expected from a girl so small.

"Look," She says. "Do you know how many people I almost killed making that for you? I should force you to join just to repay the dozens of mana crystals I burned through. My goddamn life force is in that artifact. You WILL join!"

"O-okay..."

>At that moment Kuro approaches Dr. Gears. She tilts her head as she watches the Doctor rough-handle Tali.

"Doctor. Why can't Tali join more than one club? I'm in the Science Club and President of the Appreciation of the Eastern Arts club."

"...." She stays silent.

"Hey, yeah." Tali says. "Why can't I? You just said it was discouraged."

>The Doctor says nothing.

>>36253189
I don't believe he can, based on larro's previous quests.

>>36252769
You know, Dr. Gear is kinda hot when she's all hot and sweaty.

>>36253202
A boys academy can raid dungeons too though. What they can't normally do is see what the girls science club is doing. That's our mission. Our school has others on the dungeon raiding.

>>36253075
it can but see >>36253142 and >>36253157

>>36252769

Toss us to her. As she catches it, point out that making that artifact seems to have taken a lot out of her, and she's pretty smart and apparently physically fit. Then ask her if she's willing to expend significant resources in order to nurture your potential to its fullest potential in both terms of magic theory and physical ability, given your inexperience in both.

While science club might be the key to getting secrets from the school, they may just put you in a lowly position if you do not meet their high expectations. Alternatively, they may already be accustomed to such subterfuge, making it difficult for you to pry such secrets from them.

>>36253211
Oh she was lying

Well okay then, you'll totally join this one and then you can hang out with the comfy club too

>>36253211
Tali, you obviously have to wholy dedicate yourself to the science club.

aka the Dr. Gear's sex slaves club.

>>36253211
SHE SIMPLY WANTED YOU ALL TO HERSELF, TALI. As a sex slave.
JOIN THE EASTERN ARTS CLUB, JOIN THE DUNGEON DIVING CLUB.

>>36253211

Join both make weeaboo magic arftifacts

>>36253204
Less actual death. Destruction, usually caused by being too arrogant or proud.

>>36253211
she wants to monopolize tali

>>36253179
If it absolutely comes down to it, we can probably go into the dungeons on team-up missions or something anyways, and we're really not cut out for dungeoneering while keeping our cover.

besides, >>36253179 has it, if we stick with science team we can probably check out recovered items anyways.

>>36253211
Join the club. It's the best way to learn magic and get secrets at once.

>>36253211
Touch her with the orb so that I can make screeching noises at her.

Hit her with both of those at the same time.

>>36253211

Tali, have her handle us while you three talk further on the subject. We will be your ears in this matter.

>>36253211
She wanted you all to herself Tali, she was attracted to you, Human Girl you at least

>>36253229
Lets be real here.
His former school was rubbish.
When he entered, he couldn't even solve their entry exam.
Did the old one even have a dungeon?

>>36253211
Don't want to stress youself too much, do you? I think the shenanigans that !!SCIENCE!! can cause will be more than exhausting.

Although... Which club was Fuwa in again? You could use her for naps.

>>36253229
No proof they have the same dungeon complex though.

>>36253211
Tell her if she lets you join Dungeon Diving, you will join Science Club too. Swear on it if you must

>>36253211
Whatever else you do. JOIN THE SCIENCE CLUB

>>36253280
pls dear god no!

>>36253211
Tali, make her a deal.

Offer to field-test her artifacts down in the dungeon.

What can possibly go wrong?

>>36253280
You should have linked Justin Bieber music.

>>36253297
Fuwa was in the anime club I think

>>36253211
I'm against touching Gears, we need to be careful about that or Tali will get found out eventually

>>36253211
Tali, start your own club and then invite everyone to the Group Bathing and Sexy Calenders Club.

>>36253211
Just offer to test the artifacts in the dungeons for her. Everybody wins.

>>36253211

I think it's time for us, the orb and Gears to have a talk.

Maybe she'll be fascinated by us?

Too dangerous.

Say nothing. Wait for her to cool down a little bit. Channel the comfy.

By the way, I've figured why Beauty Club girl wears no pants and flashes her undies for everyone to see. It's to distract people from her massive eyebrows.

>>36253379

>Let's tell everyone that we're a magic orb on a mission to steal their shit!

>>36253211

She wants you all to herself. This may put you in a position to bargain. If the clubs are as competitive as she makes them out to be, you could possibly be a source of influence for her in any other club that you join. Even if this is not the case and all this competitiveness is just a delusion in her mind, doing this may placate her while allowing you to explore more aspects of this school than you could with just joining one club.

>>36253315
>>36253211

Also, he can get first-hand data on any artifacts that the dungeoneering club might get their hands on. Getting information on ancient artifact construction techniques could be very handy for a science club, depending on who made said ancient artifact.

See, that's awesome except I am not a human girl. And she's kinda scary.

>Tali waits until Gears calms down a bit. She lets go of Tali and sits back down, but not before shooting a glare at Kuro.

"I'll join your club but I want to join the others too. If I can join the others then I would have no problem going into yours."

>As soon as he says that the Doctor is all smiles.

"Well," She says. "While I would prefer you -didn't- I suppose I can't force you. And don't worry about paying me back for that artifact. Consider it a gift"

"Thank you."

"So, have you decided exactly what other clubs you'll be joining?"

"Not yet. I'm still looking at all of them."

"Well we meet up every day after class. Of course you don't have to attend every meeting. It's all on your own time. Consistent attendance is, however, rewarded with further grants."

"So... Do go every day?"

"If you can." She says with a smile. "And sign here."

>She hands him a basic looking sign-in sheet. Tali signs his name.

"You're an official member now," She says. "Welcome to the Science Club."

>A group of students are making their way towards the table.

"If you'll excuse me." Gears turns her attention to them.

Well that was intense...
Kuro is here, I could join her club.
There are still a few others around though.

>>36253740
Hands off creep, I saw her first. My lovely waifu doctor Gears~

>>36253697
Ask them what times they meet it, and important attendance is.
I don't mind doing eastern club in the weekends, but it is too much for daily.

I would prefer just science and comfy, but if we do join more, make them a lower priority than the "main" clubs so to speak

Join the science club and comfy eastern club. The former is for your mission, the latter is for leisure.

Make money, get bitches. Simple as that.

>>36253697
Is there a healers' club? Or magician club?

What club is octopus girl in? Or Lan?

>>36253697

Dungeoneering club.

You can be a part of the support staff. Or at least make friends with a person who knows how to get swole and smart at the same time. Because frankly, you're going to need to bulk up your brawn and brains if you're going to do any type of significant spywork here. Nobody will let a student who's going nowhere anywhere near anything important.

>>36253844
>octopus girl
Do you mean octopussy?

>>36253697
Go check out the other clubs, then ask the Dungeon Club what they're expecting of you.
You're here to do a job, not be a worthless lazy bum.

>>36253729
wasn't the eastern club and the comfy club the same thing?

>>36253697
Well, the way I see things, it boils down to Comfy and Dungeoneering. You probably can't pick both at this point as you've already joined one club here.
Dungeoneering can be more profitable, call gibs on some artifacts and stuff, but let's be honest here, you're more of a lover than a fighter. And, no offense, you're not even THAT much of a lover. But don't worry, we're working on that part.
Arts club would let you relax but at the same time, you can learn a bunch from the other members.

Now let's add to it that Dungeoneering is selling stuff they dig up,which means you can keep eye one them even as a non-member and just buy it if they come up with something you (we) like... where you get money for that, well, we'll get to it later.

As for right now, my suggestion is to join Kuro's club. Might as well do it right away.

Do we actually need to officially join the delving club to go on delves?
Especially if we intend to do it in a support role to primarily provide healing?

>>36253844
>Lan?
Slut club?

>>36253844
Lan has said clubs arn't her thing

>>36253876

Fuwa's in it so it might as well be the comfy club.

>>36253868
Yeah, her. Tessa.

"Kuro, you wanna look at the other clubs with me?"

"Sure." She says. "Fuwa is managing the booth at the moment. I have some time."

>>36253768
The cats on Kuro's head, I assume? Or the four trailing behind her. She has a lot of cats...

"So can you tell me more about the other clubs? What time does yours meet?"

"We usually meet once or twice a week. Sometimes on the weekends. We watch Eastern Animation or discuss the latest Eastern Comics. The Land of Dragons has some really great things."

"Oh? I used to read Magical Girl Cleaver."

"Ah, she is good. There was someone in our club who used to like her a lot." They stop in front of the Dueling Club. Natalie Cross appears to be in charge of that one. A lot of the people from Tali's school are lined around it as they try to arm wrestle Lyra.

"I think I can cross that one out."

"Not a fighter?" She asks.

"Not really."

"Me neither. Our club focuses more on the arts. We're one of the few clubs that do."

"Really?"

"Yes. Us and perhaps the Literary Club. I don't count the Beauty Club as art, really." She pauses, as though considering something. "Tali, would you like to see my drawings?"

"Huh? Sure."

>Kuro reaches into her cloak and pulls out a small book. She hands it to Tali.

"Here."

>He takes it and opens it to a random page.

"That's Dr. Gears." She says, pointing to one drawing, "And my cat, Chester."

...

"What do you think?" She stares at him.

>>36253984
Kawaii.

>>36253984
Tell her she's a shit artist

>>36253984
Your art is so awesome, we need a new word for it. Like Deviant.

>>36253984
The cat is very cute

>There was someone in our club who used to like her a lot.
I wonder who this could be, I bet she was an armful though

>>36253984
The cat's good. Gears looks like a pizza slice.

>>36253984
Perhaps... slightly too much eastern influence for you.

>>36253984

Kawaii as fuck, or however the easterners say it.

Watch Tali say kowai instead.

>>36253984
She should probably stick to cats.

>>36253984

Could she be trying to get you to make a remark about her eyes, since they really stand out amongst the drawings?

>>36253984
very cute
so, you like dr gears as much as your cats

>>36253984
what is this deviantart shit

>>36253984
Pizzagears?

You any good at art Tali?

>>36253984
That's actually pretty nice.
Ask her if she could draw one for you one day.

>>36253984
Evade the subject, ask about the forbidden clubs

>>36253984
The cat looks super cute.

> There was someone in our club who used to like her a lot.
I guess she's talking about Vaisi.

>>36253984
Seems like she likes cats a lot, but I guess she likes Gears a lot too

>>36254062
oho, asking her to draw tali. nice idea.

>>36253984
So she has a crush on Dr. Gears?

>>36253984
Ask her if she has ever read Magical Vampire Rena.

>>36254096
Eh, I bet Adventures of Rena the Rock is much more popular than that washed-up mahou shoujo.

"The cat is really cute. Gears is looking very... Eastern."

"Thank you."

"Can you draw me?"

"Hmm... Well, it is difficult for me to draw when I'm not in the mood but I can try. Come here."

>She leads Tali to a bench and has him sit down. She studies his face before drawing in her book.

"So... You really like cats huh? And Gears."

"Cats are amazing..." She says as she draws. "And Dr. Gears is an amazing woman. Tilt your head.... Perfect. She is probably the best leader Root has had in, well, forever."

"Is she mad at you? I hope I didn't make her mad at you."

"She will be but she'll get over it. She always does."

>>36254064
"So, are there any, like, unofficial clubs?"

>Kuro stops drawing and stares at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, clubs that aren't really being advertised."

"... None that I'm aware of. Now stop talking. I need to get your mouth just right..."

>She draws for a few more minutes. She stops and smiles a bit.

"Tell me what you think," She says.

>She shows him her drawing.

Shit, it's shit, tell her it's shit

How long has she been drawing, why hasn't she stopped being a shit?

>>36254328
>>She draws for a few more minutes. She stops and smiles a bit.
So, where is the secret cabal club?

>>36254328
That's a bit better. Maybe she should relax a bit when drawing?
Ask her for ow long has she been doing it.

Is there a form of magic that involves drawing stuff?

>>36254328
I think she messed up a little.
Tali's not that cute.

>>36254397

It's probably due to the very exaggerated eastern style that she's drawing with.

>>36254397
Remember that she's seeing the glamour, not real Tali.

>>36253211
>QM_railroading.jpg

But seriously, yes, because SCIENCE! And mana batteries. If there's a rune for everything, why isn't there a rune for "everything?" We could draw ambient mana, store it in an infinite loop.

>>36254424
Wouldn't our glamor fail if she focus too hard on it?

>>36254437

I think that since the glamour isn't too far off of how Tali actually looks like, she shouldn't be able to break it that easily.

>>36254437
Apparently our glamer is pretty powerful. I'd be more concerned of mind readers.

>>36254430
>>QM_railroading.jpg
It's not railroading when you don't even attempt to steer.

>>36254488
Hopefully the orb confuses the fuck out of mind readers and can't distinguish Tali from all the other voices.

>>36254527
They'd be right to question Tali's sanity however.

>>36254498
Correct. Larro does a lot of steering though, so in this case it is railroading.

>>36254561
Well, the players are voices in the character's heads rather than the character themself.

>>36254527
The orb's more useful as an investigation/analysis device.
So far, it hasn't shown any protective abilities.

If you think about it, it's kinda like a magic eye.

>>36254328

I didn't say it was protective. I just said that Tali would be indistinguishable from any other voice.

I quite like it tbh, especially from the interaction and reaction.

Did you actually read the contract before signing it? You can't trust Dr. Gears. She already lied to you about joining other clubs and gave you a "gift" under false pretenses.

"I think you messed up a little."

>She looks at the drawing.

"How so?"

"I'm not nearly as cute as that."

>Kuro smiles and puts her book away.

"I'm glad you like it." She says. "I'll probably put it in our next issue of Easter Appreciation. If you don't mind, that is."

"I'm perfectly fine with it."

>She smiles again and gestures to the crowd.

"I should probably check on how Fuwa is doing. If you want to sign up with us I can grab the sheet."

"Sure."

>Kuro leads Tali back to the Eastern Art Appreciation Club. Fuwa is taking a nap on a massive pillow.

"Fuwa..." Kuro says with a sigh. "You were supposed to be watching the place."

>She pushes on Fuwa with her foot. The girl does not stir.
>She looks at the sign in sheet.

"And no one else joined." She sighs again and hands it to Tali. "You don't have to join if you don't want to. And I don't really mind if you have other clubs either. We're not that serious."

Hmm. Should I join all three of the clubs I was interested in? There might be others.
I might be taking on too many if I do three.

>>36254694

Go see what the dungeon club expects of you first. This club too, if you haven't already asked.

Keep in mind that exceptional students get trusted with exceptional things. This is conducive to being trusted with information you can use.

>>36254694
Don't formally join Dungeoneer Club until you git gud, but make sure they know you're interested. Maybe they'll teach you some combat and defensive spells

>>36254694
SCIENCE, DUNGEON DIVING, EASTERN ARTS
DO IT, TALI

>>36254694
Join science and Comfy club.

Dungeon sounds like a distraction from your mission.

>>36254694
It'll be fine, like they said comfy club isn't a very serious thing, it's only once a week after all

If it is too much, you can just not join Dungeon club

>>36254694

Sign on. We might not be here most of the time but we'll drop by to hang out and chill with the fluffys.

I wonder if it is carved into big stone heads.

I say we just stick to two: Eastern and Science. We really arent cut out for dungeoning.

>>36254694
Well, there's always the option of time manipulation. We could tell you how to abuse quantum mechanics to be a god, Tali.

>>36254694
Take all three.
It gives you a good excuse when no one can find you because we're breaking into secret roos and stuff.

>>36254694
Dungeoneering and Eastern Arts. They're both pretty cool.

Stay as far away from the Comfy Club as possible. The leader is a rapist. We have no reason to trust her again.

I'd say the same about the Science Club, but you already signed the contract without reading it, which is something you shouldn't specifically need a warning against.

>>36254694
Sure, go for all three. Then you can relax with them after a long and tiring day.

Hell, even make your own Eastern Comic based on your adventures in the dungeons.
Kuro can draw, you can be in charge of the story, and Fuwa can do something.

Then start your own comic, and offer others to write for you.
That way you'll learn their secrets as well.

"Yeah, I'll join."

>Tali signs the sheets.

"I think this and the Science club will be it for now. The Dungeon Diving Club sounds really really cool but I just don't think I'm strong enough for that yet. Maybe when I get a bit better with magic."

"Of course. No need to rush. You'll always be able to hop in on Dungeon Diving another time."

"Yeah. Well I think I'll keep looking around. Are you okay here?"

"Yes. It's clear that trusting Fuwa to watch the thing was a bit of a mistake... I'll see you later, Tali."

"Bye, Kuro."

>Tali goes back into the crowd. It's a lot thinner now and a few clubs have packed up. Tali hears someone call out to him. He turns and sees Vendal, Tessa, and Azul pushing their way through the crowd towards him.

"Tali!" Vendal says. "I've been looking all over for you. Did you join some clubs?"

"Yeah. Science and Eastern Arts."

"That's great! I was worried you wouldn't find any you were interested in. I just got Azul here into my little club."

"You run one too?"

"Mhmm. Undine Healing Arts. I know it's a bit niche but... My people have had a very unique way of healing that doesn't rely on runes and I try to get all the Undine to show up. Doesn't always work. Some just aren't interested... But anyway if you got some clubs that's perfect. It's pretty much just half days this week so you're free to do what you want for now. Go and explore the campus a bit."

"Alright, sure. Is Lan around?"

"Ah, Lan... I think she's in the Petal Tower. But I wouldn't bother her now. She's uhm..." She makes a cup shape with her hand and brings it to her lips. "So, yeah... Oh! It's Shara! Guys, come on!" She grabs Tessa and Azul and runs off to the Dungeon Diving Club, eager to speak to the armored Undine there.

Hmm. Well, I got the day to myself. Anything I need to take care of?

>Tali stops by the Eastern Arts Appreciation Club and asks Kuro if she has a spare copy of Magical Girl Cleaver. The girl doesn't even ask why and simply shoves several books in Tali's arms. She pulled them all from her cloak.

>Before Tali makes his way down to the dungeons he checks the front gate. Ninety-Nine isn't there.

Huh. Guess she actually went to go get lunch.

>He remembers how he got to the dungeon. Such a creepy room isn't easily forgotten. He opens the door again and is greeted by Vaisi.

"Tali~" She says. "You came back~ You can't imagine how pleased I am by this."

"It's the least I can do. I got something for you."

>He places the copy of Magical Girl Cleaver on the floor and slides it to Vaisi.

"Oh man! Magical Girl Cleaver!" She smiles even wider. "Tali, this is awesome but I just can't accept it."

"Why not?"

"I don't mean to sound ungrateful but in case you forgot I don't have any fuckin' arms. So this is super cool but it would just go to waste on me."

>Tali sits down close to the spell but not close enough to brush against it. He gestures for Vaisi to come closer.

>She scoots over a bit, a quizzical look on her face. When she's close enough Tali begins to read to her.

>He tells her of Magical Girl Cleaver and how she was given her weapon by an old witch. The witch gave her a very important mission... Kill all the monsters and bring back their parts for potions. Cleaver accepted and thus became what she is today.

>The first chapter tells of Magical Girl Cleaver's first mission against the Being of Many Angles. It was a tough battle but she won in the end.

>Vaisi listens, her smile never changing the entire while.

>When Vaisi finishes she nods at him.

"That was lovely. You have a great voice. Thank you very much." She says.

"Not a problem."

"Alright, for telling me this little tale I will answer a few questions. I know a LOT so ask away."

"Tell me about the Ceer."

"Surely you know about them? They are the Fifth Race. There's the Undine, Aelor, Elves, Humans, and then the Ceer. We were created by the god, Serin, he of Chaos and Law. From water he created the Undine, fire made the Aelor, earth made the Elves, and air made the Humans. The Ceer, however, were created from Void. They know a lot more about magic than any of the other races but they tend to keep to themselves. It's very VERY rare to see a Ceer and they will probably ignore you when you do see one."

"And they made my orb? And your book?"

"Yep. Artifacts that break the laws of magic laid down by Thomahar and Serin."

"Can you tell me more about your book?"

"Sure. It's fucking awesome. It lets me cast spells I would never be able to on my own. Found it Dungeon Diving. Best find ever."

"... Vaisi, is there any way I can get it away from you?"

"Oh, I'm sure there is. If you try though I'll fuckin' kill ya."

>She smiles.

>>36256246
Yeah that makes sense, who would want to lose a super cool book like that, just don't take it and get caught afterwords

Speaking of getting caught, don't go spending too much time in here, Gears told you to stay away last time, don't want to get caught not listening to your teachers

>>36256246
See Vaisi, we are trying to find a way to get you out of there permanently, which would mean not having that tome that made you murder people.

O-of course. It was just a rhetorical question anyway. (For now)

don't talk about her being let out. the door will probably explode your face if you do.

You gotta give one thing to her, she's admirably honest.
As her about dungeon diving. How to get properly ready, what to watch out for and stuff.

>Contract? It was just a sign-in sheet.
Ah, okay. You weren't saying anything, so I was worried it might have been cursed.

>questions
Since the Ceer know more about magic than anyone else, is there anything important she can tell us about magic that we aren't likely to learn from another source? I mean, something basic about the nature of magic.

Also, does she know of any other artifacts like her book in the school?

>>36256370
> admirably honest
Or likes to cast her lies far and wide.
