So it seems to be true. There was no fairy branch! Unbelievable! Freya got from her seat, and headed towards this Jax man. Perhaps he could point her in the direction to the one's in charge. "Excuse me, sir. If I'm not mistaken, there is no Fairy Branch. I wish to speak to those in charge, and understand why this is."

"Aha! I shall explain to the best of my ability." He exclaims. "It's quite simple, really. We only recently discovered that Fairy was actually a Pokemon type. We really have almost no information on them. Therefore, it'd be irresponsible of us to try and teach what we do not know. So unless you can find us a certified Fairy-Type specialist that'd be willing to take up the position, I'm afraid that a 'Fairy Branch' is simply impossible at this time." He leans in extra close for some reason. "Does this answer your question, young lady?"

Freya shook her head, and tapped her chin. "Oh...How troubling...Um. How about myself, good sir? I have a fairy type of my own, Gabriel the Cutiefly. I preach the good word of our savior, Xerneas. The fairy type is closely tied to my entire purpose! Also, you said there wasn't much to teach. Well, why not it be a researching branch instead? I believe I have what it takes, and I'm sure I can find others willing to further research into this glorious typing! Please, sir?"

Jax laughs. "Ahaha! Wonderful, simply wonderful." He claps his hands together in mirth. "Alas, I'm afraid it cannot be so. You are required to be at least twenty years of age before becoming a Branch Head, as well as have documented research spanning over the length of several years. Yes, we already have people researching this bold new Type of Pokemon, but none of them really have the right mindset to be a Branch Leader. You understand, yes?"

Emil shrugs his shoulders. "Honestly, I'm pretty sure what branch I'm gonna join, but we can take a tour, sure. Nice to stick together. What do you folks... think." Aaand Freya's off already to go bother the juggler guy about something. Probably Xerneas-related. So he turns to Sapphire and Stephanie, since they seem more levelheaded anyway. "Okay, what do you think? Wanna take a tour before we decide what branch we go to?"

"Hm. Unfortunate." Freya says unusually cold. She walks away to ponder what to do next. The fairy types were what was most important, but the guild was in no hurry to further its progress. Very troubling, and unbecoming of the guild. She needed to take much more desperate measures. This entire guild was in need of salvation. Stray lambs were lost in the dark, and she would light their way with the guild's help, or not.

Sapphire nods. "That seems sensible. I'm fairly sure I'm going to end up in either Grass or Poison myself, but even if I'm right it won't hurt to see some of the others. Shall we start with the Normal Branch, since their leader is right here?"

Ruby grabs Emil by the arm. "Well, come on then! Let's get going!" She says, pulling him forward.

Emil flushes a little as he's dragged off again by Ruby. He's beginning to be afraid this will be a recurring thing.
By the end of their impromptu tour, Emil hasn't really seen anything that's changed his mind. "I dunno about you all but I think I'm gonna head back to Bug Branch. What d'you think, Ruby, you change your mind or are you still going for Fighting?"

"I'm going to go and talk to some of the people in Grass and Poison, see what they have to offer - and what they want from members. Meet back up with you later?"

The others couldn't find Stephanie for lunch, who had slipped away from their brand of madness. She's her own mad, stop stealing her thing! A new stranger Ruby seemed to know popped up. At least that's what she could tell from a safe distance.
Hearing the brief discriptions, she has two clear options. Psychic or Ghost. Both aim to be something she'd be a part of real quick. Psychic seems a little calmer but ghost... If she ever could learn Dream eater herself, those would be the kind of people to help her get it. But best to stay with the 'safe' option for now. She needs to head to Psychic and start there.

Stephanie re-orients herself after a moment.
"Ah ha! I knew it! We figured it out Dest-"
And then the woman of the cloth falls on her, with Freya's supple 'bibles' in her face. Stephanie seems unperturbed by this, and merely looks up.
"Do you think accidental lewd acts will attract others to you and join your 'flock'?"
She carefully reaches and adjusts her glasses back into place.
"A shrewd tactic, but as Xerneas is the god of 'life' afterall. I'm sure she's supportive of that. Commendable."
She turns to the woman who teleported them, and doesn't seem to 'care' that Freya is on top.
"Anyway, yes, I 'am' welcome to the branch. I'm very interested to hear about your branch's library, as well as I'm sure with all of you being so 'of the mind', I assume there's a lot of psychological research being done here? At least in some capacity?"

The woman nods. "Yes, indeed." This time her voice is projected to Freya as well. "Oh, before I forget: my name is Nemae Velaross, and I am the leader of the Psychic Branch. For libraries, we actually have two. One that is meant for the 'general public' (non-Psychic Guild members), and another that is restricted to members of this branch. They share much of their content, but the members-only library has more information on occult rituals and psychic ability. Non-members may access the 'public' section through another entrance that any Guild Staff member could tell you about."

Freya isn't sure what just happened, but she rubbed her lower back. "Ouch..." She then notices Stephanie firmly planted in Freya's chest. She quickly pulls away, and shields her chest away. She looks at Stephanie as if she was at fault for the situation. Looking quite uncomfortable. "Kyaa! Uuugghh...Please don't touch me like that! Please don't speak of l-l-lewd things either!" She brushes herself off while fighting off embarrassment. "...Oh! The voice of god in my head!?....Oh, the psychics, of course. Greetings. I'm sister Freya, and I'm interested in this libraries of yours."

Nemae raises an eyebrow, as if asking whether she plans to join Psychic Branch or not. It does, after all, determine which libraries you may access without special permission/extenuating circumstances.

Freya blinks while the silence remains for the moment. She finally speaks up. "This guild sorely lacks a fairy branch, so I will stay here in the Psychic branch."

Stephanie looks non-plussed as Freya gets up.
"'You' landed on 'me', woman. But sure, keep lying to yourself. Make the person feel guilty when your first tactic fails..."
She gets up and dusts herself off. She looks to Namae.
"Ignore this one for now. I'm extremely interested in the library, but even more in the branch's delving into the mind. You could say I'm a 'psychologist chef'. So being surrounded by others who can delve into minds literally is going to be a good help to that. But what exactly would be expected of 'me' by joining?"

"Psychic is one of the most research-heavy Branches of the guild. All that is expected of you here is to contribute something meaningful to our library; whether now or in the future. The only restrictions on subject matter are things that may lead to someone actively harming another. If you are unsure if the subject of your research project qualifies as such, please bring it forward and we can discuss it." Nemae explains.

"Well my research won't get anyone harmed, for sure. (Why do people keep assuming it does?)"
Stephanie doesn't realize that any other pokemon using dream eater probably hurts more but she's only experienced a Mushrana's and that was just a lack of dreams. Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? She 'hmmms' thoughtfully.
"Ok, I'll have to consider this. I have realistically only one other stop. Having my research be done un-impeaded is valuable, for sure. So far this branch is in the lead!"
Stephanie beams. She turns and- oh right she was teleported in here. She waves her hands in front of the walls in a vain attempt to open them via visual code.
"Erm, how does one exit if you were teleported in here?"
Also get me away from Freya before she tries to accuse me of untoward behavior again! I'd only put her to sleep for SCIENCE. I'd only engage in lewdness if someone could challenge my intellect or is willing to let me use them as a subject in every way I can think of!

Surprisingly enough, there is a door right there. Stephanie just didn't notice it at first. Nemae explains that the door was always there, merely hidden from sight. Of course, the reason for the 'teleport you into the room' is to get those with psychic abilities used to using them. Teleportation seems like it's "not such a big deal", but for humans it kinda is. Anyway, door exists, door will open from either side with just the slightest application of psychic energy.
