[x] Split up to cover more ground. Iroha goes with...
-[x] ...Matsuri
-[x] ...Arisa

Do they split in two teams, or is it "every girl for herself"?

    [Searching and Finding (Week 15)]​

    You all decide to split up to cover more ground, and you end up wandering around with Matsuri and Arisa.

    Unfortunately, all of you turn up nothing. The closest you get to a match is from a girl you're never met before named Sayuri Mikoto, who arrived in town very recently. However, she doesn't look like Kagari at all and has no idea who Matsuri is, so you all let her go. Oh well...

    Well, it's not like you've met every girl in this city, so she might be hiding out somewhere. You exchange numbers with Matsuri, and promise to continue your search. You also invite her and her friends to come back and search anytime they wish, and they wish you all well before departing.

    .

    .

    .

    A few days later, it's time for the weekly meeting of the Magius, this time with some guests. Ryo and Hinano have come by to discuss the Mirrors Witch, and Fujori is here as thanks for Ren's assistance. Aiko has come by to join the group as well, and so you all do a round of introductions.

    The three biggest news items this week are the completion of the Seals Network, the information gained on the Mirrors Witch, and the visit from the Futatsugi girls. You and Aiko briefly go over what happened with them, including the warning regarding the two specific Magical Girls that were on the way, and Hinano and Ryo promise to spread that news out across the city. You all also agree to set up a group chat so you can stay in touch, since the telepathy network remains down and without a substitute.

    The Mirrors Witch... is a complex beast. It's a recluse, hiding out in an abandoned building in Chuo ward. Instead of violently attacking Magical Girls, it prefers to let them freely wander around, fighting its Familiars... which can also take the appearance of Magical Girls. It must be able to feed off of this conflict somehow, which is why it never attacks people.

    Ryo led Mayu, Yukika, Chiyoko, and Musoko through an exploration of its Mansion, trying to get as much information on it as they could. And strangely, they encountered no interference while doing so, almost like the Witch wanted them to do this... they wandered all around the upper floors, going deeper and deeper, but getting no closer to where the Witch was located, though they did feel that something was there at the top of the Mansion, just out of reach. Once they returned to the ground floor, they thought about just leaving, thinking they'd just need to bring a massive force to smash their way through everything...

    ...when Yukika happened to notice a random bit of wall that looked different from all the others. And it turned out to be a hidden door that led down into a dark dungeon! And when they descended down into the depths, not only did they find something with the magical signal of the Witch itself, they also found Mikoto Sena!

    All of you gasped in shock.

    "...but how?" asked Hinano. "She became a Witch years ago!"

    Ryo shrugged. "It must have something to do with the power she had as a Magical Girl. According to Kanagi, her magic was that of suggestions. It seems like Hanna Sarasa got that power in the first place by copying it from her."

    You have a realization, and it looks like a few others in the room have as well. "She must have commanded her Witch to save her, somehow!" you exclaim.

    "Indeed, which means if we remove Mikoto from the Witch's grasp, she may be able to live again as a normal human," suggests Fujori. "I will, of course, help you deal with the Witch. It will definitely attack us once it realizes what we're doing."

    "We'll have to be careful. We think that it's using the energy it gets from us to keep both itself and Mikoto alive," Mayu notes.

    "There's also something else to be concerned about," Chiyoko adds with a frown. "There's several copies of Hanna Sarasa down there. We're lucky that they were too pre-occupied with tending to Mikoto Sena to notice us. If she really gets her abilities by coping those of others, we'll have to be careful in deciding who gets sent down there."

    That's something you can all agree to readily, and it's decided to strike sooner rather than later. Hinano will, of course, get in touch with the other faction leaders. She's also in touch with several girls from Chuo Ward who will want to help out, particularly some that she wants to keep a close eye on.

    And finally, Touka, Nemu, and Ui have put up seals all around Kamihama City, making the entire city safe. The three of them aren't sure what to do from here. Mainly, the conflict seems to be between Touka and Ui, with Touka wanting girls from other cities to become loyal to us before we help them, and Ui wanting to help girls free of requirements. Nemu would be satisfied with a simple alliance, such as what we're starting to build with Mitakihara and it seems like most of the group – including yourself – are aligned with her. Speaking of Mitakihara, the girls from there are going to come next week to search for Reihi, and it's agreed that some of you should go and help them. At this point, it seems like they'll be the first ones outside Kamihama to benefit from your work regardless.

    In smaller news, there's been some progress in developing Magia by some girls (though Kokoro and Masara ended up filling up their Soul Gems on accident), other girls have trained and will be training themselves, and you had an encounter with your Witch. It seems as though control over the half-Witch transformation might be possible.

    That's something to investigate later.

    Ui's excess Grief Capacity resets (including the Impurities from Ryo, Mayu, Chiyoko, Musoko, and Yukika). 234x2 Impurity was removed from Touka's and Nemu's Soul Gem and is now in Ui's excess Grief Capacity. 234 Impurity has been added to Ui's Soul Gem. Further additions to Ui's excess Grief Capacity: 190 Grief from Ayaka; 39 Grief from Asuka and Sasara.

    QM Note: Sakurako and Iroha must go on an action together this week. You may have multiple girls take the same action. Aiko is a permanent addition. The character sheet will be updated accordingly.

    QM Note #2: Masara and Kokoro may only go on actions labelled with (MK). Iroha may go on two actions this week as long as one of them is with Masara and Kokoro. Masara and Kokoro gain +10 went sent on an action together. Ria and Felicia gain -10 when sent on an action together.

    QM Suggestion: It would be good to format the plan like:
    [] Plan Whatever
    -[][Girl A, Girl B, Girl C] Action A
    -[][Girl D, Girl E] Action B

    Kagari does not currently want to be found, so the difference was between 'get something that vaguely resembles a lead' (what you all voted for) or 'get literally nothing and try again later' (the other two options)

    Open to other ideas if anyone has any, don't really have time to compose a full plan at the moment. But I guess it makes sense now that we've determined that fighting the mirror witch might save someone?

    I would prefer if Nemu used this chance to make an Uwasa while everyone's gone but alternative telepathy is important enough.

    [The Search for Reihi, part 1 (Week 16)]​

    It's decided then.

    This will be the week you take down the Mirrors Witch!

    At least, you hope so. Everyone else seems confident, but you can't help but be a bit nervous. This Witch is dangerous!

    After the meeting, Hinano and Ryo left to alert the other faction leaders and various Magical Girls in the city about the planned attack, and asked for a few days to get everyone else ready.

    As such, you texted Mami and let her know that if she came sooner rather than later, you'd be able to help her and the others in their search for Reihi. And so, after school one day, you and Chiyoko met up with five girls from Mitakihara. You'd already met Mami and Koito, and they introduce you to Madoka, Sayaka, and Homura. Homura pulls out an odd compass, pointing in the direction of Minagi Ward.

    "This will lead us to her," she says.

    You nod. "Lead the way!"

    As you all follow her, Madoka hands you an empty Grief Seed with a strawberry emblem on it, and asks if you can save the girl inside. You promise to give it to the girl who can, and pocket it to hand over to Fujori later.

    "Hmmm... Oriko's power is to see the future, right?" asks Sayaka.

    "Correct," replies Mami. "Is something the matter, Sayaka?"

    "Well, doesn't that mean she'll see us coming?"

    "She's probably prepared some kind of trap," comments Chiyoko, "or maybe some kind of challenge like when she had Kirika kidnap Sasara..."

    "Wait, this has happened before!?"

    You nod. "We don't know why she's doing this either. She won't talk to us..."

    You sigh. "I might be too late now, but... I hope we can resolve this peacefully. I don't want anyone else to suffer..."

    Mami giggles. "That's very kind of you, Iroha."

    "And also naïve," comments a mystery voice.

    You all turn to find the source... and it turns out to be Kirika! She's lurking up on a nearby rooftop, already transformed, glancing down at your group with casual disdain.

    "With an attitude like that, will you really be able to lead these girls to salvation?" asks Kirika. "My precious Oriko seems to think you can if you're pushed, but I'm not so sure... but, regardless, she's ordered it, so I'm following through!"

    She then unleashes her black fog at your group, and you all transform and dodge backwards. Kirika takes the opportunity to lunge at you, specifically, but Mami is ready and attacks before Kirika can reach you. Looks like she fights with muskets... and ribbons too, but Kirika managed to avoid being ensnared this time. You fire several crossbow bolts at her, but she dodges them easily and makes her way in close...

    ...just in time for Sayaka to jump in and push her away with a sword attack, followed by arrows from Madoka & Homura and rifle-fire from Koito to keep Kirika at bay. Chiyoko, meanwhile, just seems to be sitting back and watching intently, an open book in hand.

    "Where's Reihi!?" demands Koito.

    "Please, let her go!" pleads Homura.

    "You want her!? You've got to go through me, Kirika!"

    Kirika then poses for some reason before getting into a fighting stance.

    What to do...?

    [] You've got to split up. Homura has that tracker to find Reihi, after all.
    -[] (write-in who stays and who goes)
    [] You've got to stick together. Your teamwork will take Kirika down.
    -[] (write-in a general strategy)

    QM Note: While I'm not going to give you hard numbers, here's a general ranking of combat ability: Mami > Kirika >> (Oriko) > Madoka ~ Sayaka > Iroha ~ Koito > Homura >> Chiyoko. In terms of weapons, Kirika has her claws and her paralyzing gas. Oriko is off-screen somewhere and you don't know if she's near or far away.

    QM Note #2: If you're interested, I could use a few OCs for the Mirrors Witch fight. They need to be from Chuo Ward.

    [X] You've got to split up. Homura has that tracker to find Reihi, after all.
    -[X] Mami stays to fight Kirika, with Iroha staying with her to act as healing support.
    --[X] Be prepared to try to disengage if the fight starts to go badly or Oriko launches an effective side attack. Have Mami fire of a musket salute in the other's direction if this happens to act as a prearranged (now, through telepathy) signal that it's gone badly and they might have to deal with Kirika. (And try to regroup of course but that may not be possible)
    --[X] Have Mami tie a ribbon to Iroha so they don't get separated.
    -[X] The others go after Reihi.

    reminder that telepathy does not currently work in kamihama, so this plan should be altered accordingly.

    iroha has the numbers of both chiyoko and mami. all the mitakihara girls have exchanged numbers.
    kirika has to fight close up to do damage, so if you can keep her at bay then calls / texts become viable.

    you could also have iroha split off temporarily with someone who's going to go search for reihi to agree on a signal before they go.

    there's various options.
