Yue eventually must stop playing with the rodent Pokemon in order to conserve energy for traveling to the remainder of the Guild Branches. When shown the list, she recognizes a handful of the terms as relating to carving apricorn balls, but the rest fly over her head as well. Well, Psychic Branch is on the list of places to visit and is said to have a library (primarily related to occult stuff, but even so).
"Zzt~! So where are we going next? Zzt~" The mystery voice asks Yue.

"Well, we might as well head over to the Psychic Branch." Yue says to the voice, getting excited from the list of unfamiliar terms. "After that...Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there." She continues, folding up the list and pocketing it. "Alright, let's move out!"

Off to Psychic Branch indeed. Unfortunately, the map is once again only useful in reaching the general area. This is not the 'public library' entrance, after all, but the proper 'I want to learn/join' entrance. After ten minutes of nothing, it seems like they're not going to give Yue any hints. It appears that they've already decided that she is a poor fit for their Branch and are not allowing her access.

"Hey, if you were going to prank a bunch of stuck up Psychics by sending them a package, what would it be?" Yue asks the mysterious voice as they head for the Ground Branch. "I was thinking some kind of stink bomb."

Rei wonders if Yue is talking to her or just herself. She just follows, but after waiting with Yue for a while and just nothing coming to them, she realizes they are just denying them.
"Well that's rude. Well if they think that, maybe you are too good for them, Yue."

"Zzt~! That sounds like a most excellent idea ~zzt!" Mysterious voice agrees.
Ground, Rock, and Fighting Branches are all very close to one another. In fact, Ground and Rock are pretty much combined into a singular Branch. There's only a single door, even. However, unlike Electric, while this one is visible, it simply won't budge. No matter how hard Yue pushes on it to make it roll away.

Deciding to get the obvious method out of the way first, Yue pulls on the door instead of pushing.

Rei ‘hmmmms’ thoughtfully and peers around to help Yue.

Rei spots a slightly different tile on the floor just in front of the massive door. Let's step on it and see what happens! A soft click! is heard when Rei steps on said tile, and the door is now able to be easily rolled aside.
Inside, there is a short tunnel leading into a dimly-lit room. There are many people just...napping? all around. One or two might lift their head to see who is coming in, but they otherwise pay little attention to the two girls. Seems like either Rock/Ground has a designated 'nap time' (seems unlikely) or they're just lazy.

Yue gives them a curtsy. "Sorry to disturb you." She says as she rolls the door back into place. "Okay, I believe that's all of the dorms I wanted to check out. Which means it's decision time!" Yue says excitedly.

”Oh good! Anything you are leaning toward? And did you want to find the others again? We seem to have lost them...”

"Yes, actually. The Water, Bug and Grass Branches were great, but I'm leaning rather heavily towards the Electric Branch. There's just something about making something complex with your own hands that I can't get enough of..." Yue says, looking at her hands while a smile on her face, thinking back to the first Apricorn she made a few days prior.

"Zzt~! Electric Branch sounds great! Lots of fun toys to play with there!" Yue's mystery voice chimes in.

Yue nods. "Alrighty, let's go sign up with the Electric Branch!" Yue says, taking of at Yue speeds.

Yue dashes off for Electric Branch, eager to sign up. Having already solved the entry puzzle prior, she re-enters without a hassle. Seems like it's programmed to remember repeat visitors or something. She signs up easily via a special terminal. Since Yue had no idea how to operate it, her new 'voice' decided to help her out again by guiding her through it. She won't learn if she doesn't do it herself!

"Thanks for all your help...Um...What's your name, anyways?" Yue asks to the voice.

The voice finally decides to reveal itself. "I am Rotom! ~Zzt!" It announces. This sudden announcement/appearance seems to draw attention from the rest of the common room, a few looking impressed/jealous that Yue has befriended a Rotom. Whether or not they can understand Rotom is another matter entirely. To Yue, it's like she's talking with Bubbles, or another human. Being half-ghost herself, Rei also naturally understands Rotom.

"Oh well that makes sense."
Rei is surprised she hadn't seen that, it being a ghost and all. She's not sure why everyone in the room seems jealous as to why this is special, but hey maybe ghosts are new to them. Rei was raised by them, so she needs to appreciate her upbringing.
Well now that Yue has a friend and a branch, it seems their search is done. So the question is... now what. She has two clear choices while Yue gets to know her branch. Go back and find Leon and Schmooze with him... or find Sabine and explore that option.
Hmmm. Well with Leon, she needs to figure out how he fits in with Leanne and Nue before pursuing any further beyond simple friendship. Sabine on the other hand seems game.
"Hey Yue, I'm going to let you settle in now. Ya wore me out with all your dragging me around and all. I'll meet up with you later, hopefully with the others if they aren't lost trying to find us."
And then Rei is off to the bug branch once again.
