I see.

In that case, can I get someone to count them up for me again? I'm using a laptop borrowed from the college, so I'm rather hesitant about putting/installing programs on it. Not that it'd probably let me.....

Bad time for me to miss the update..

Oh well, let's make do the best of this situation.

Nightblade is correct. The first time, I asked for a tally but left the coting open. Second time, I locked it.

Although I kind of did have that sort of reaction, Ardion....

Still working on the next update. My health seems to be on the decline, as is usual for this time of year....

Yeah, never doubt that SV will choose an option, no matter how sub-optimal it may be. Only put up an option if you're cool with it happening.
 
Update 14 - Jotaro puts Moka at ease by scaring her further. Outer Moka Social Link GET!

<shrug> Live and learn, I suppose.

Moka looks surprised to hear that you were raised by humans, but it doesn't seem like she's going to make a big deal out of it. Perhaps she's assuming you're a changeling of some sort?

__________

"But the very worst, and scariest thing of all about this is... while there isn't any such monster as the Boogeyman, at least that I know about, JoJo isn't just a fairytale - we learned in Monster World History Class this morning that he's actually a real person, named Joseph Joestar, and he's a famous user of a weird human martial art called Ripple, and in 1938 he went on a rampage across New York, Mexico, and parts of Europe, killing two S-Class Monsters on the same level as Vampires like me... and then he supposedly fought and killed an SSS-Class Monster the next week! And he's still alive, to boot!"

Oh shit, now Moka's started hyperventilating. Aono wraps his arms around her, trying to make her feel safe.

[x]Reassure her that your grandpa is actually a pretty swell guy.

You decide to let Moka know that her fears are unfounded. Or at least, considerably less founded than she thinks. "My gramps is actually a total goofball. If you met him, you'd probably think he's a pretty swell guy."

Moka abruptly goes silent, and she and Aono look at you for a long, awkward moment.

You begin to wonder if you somehow took a wrong turn in this.

After a tense moment, Moka lets out a huge sigh of relief, and chuckles weakly. "That, er, wasn't a very funny joke, senpai. Thank you for trying, though."

... Moka thinks you weren't being serious. Well, if this is what helps her get to sleep at night, you'll just leave it be for the time being. Yare yare daze...

_________________

Your afternoon classes pass without incident.

On your way out of the last class for the day, a girl with blue hair accidentally bumps into you. She quickly apologises, and then runs off.

Taking a moment to pat yourself down (this wouldn't be the first time someone thought they could pickpocket you), you carefully observe that all your personal belongings are in their proper place - the girl didn't try and lift anything off of you. Since it appears to have truly been an accident, you move on to your other, more immediate priorities.

How will you spend the rest of the day? (pick two)

[]Go to the library and... (pick one)
-[]Learn about monsters. Since most of your opponents for the forseeable future will likely be monsters, you'd better start brushing up on how to beat them.
-[]Check out some study materials for your various classes.

[]You're frustrated with how you wound up handling that incident with Moka. Take a walk around campus to blow off some steam. Maybe bust some heads, if the situation should arise.

[]Call your mom, let her know that you made some friends and you survived the bus trip. That annoying woman is probably already worried sick about you.

_________________

You are now affiliated with Moka Akashiya (Outer). By any given standard she's pretty attractive, though she doesn't exactly appeal to your own tastes. Despite how docile and unthreatening she looks (and behaves), Moka is a vampire. ...although you wonder how exactly that's supposed to work when you're continually seeing her in broad daylight without ill effect. Their mutual shyness aside, she and Aono are pretty much an item, not that you care. No, really. You probably couldn't give less of a damn if you tried.

Relationship status: Quite frankly, you intimidate her on several levels. ...but after an awkward demonstration of your compassionate side, she seems to have decided that you're a cool and reliable (though still very intimidating) senpai.

Addendum: Moka (Outer) is completely and pathologically terrified of your gramps, Joseph Joestar. You attempted to inform Moka of your relation to the legendary "invincible monster slayer" JoJo (and also tell her that he's a total goofball), but she went into denial and interpreted it as a bad joke.

There MAY, I repeat MAY, be a chance for you guys to obtain Ripple before the in-quest day is out.

Also, ongoing canon screwage has begun.

-[x] There'd better be a decent television around here. You don't know if you could handle missing your Columbo reruns while you're stuck at this monster school.
[x]Call your mom, let her know that you made some friends and you survived the bus trip. That annoying woman is probably already worried sick about you.
-[x] Let her know that you'd like to talk to your gramps when you get a chance.
Edited to match the timeline.

Yeah, let's not chance learning the Ripple, let's just get gramps to come teach us.

The ripple is good and all, but a lot of monsters have exploitable weaknesses that make them much easier to beat than just knowing the ripple does.

Because Jotaro is nobody's fool.
Also because there might be dolphin monsters.
 
Is mentioning that Grandpa is apparently famous to the school an option for the phone call? Because we should if only to send it up the chain to Jojo.

Also don't want the Ripple if only because of the assholes who go around pining and whining for it and young Joseph. Didn't know it was possible to get tired of part 2 Joseph but HEY GUESS WHAT, it is. Thanks assclowns.

Huh, that went much better than I thought it would, at least she recognises we were trying to comfort her, albeit with horrible humour from her point of view.

Hm, I definitely think we should be mobile, I want us to be somewhere we can hear trouble happening if need be. Tsukune and Moka are trouble magnets and Saizo is enough of an asshole to go after them when they're not near us.
Getting the Ripple would be very handy and I doubt that an Academy Library will have details of that martial art just on display, then again it might have tips on how to survive and/or defeat a Ripple user.

Decisions, decisions.
