I propose we sign out all the equipment we take as "The Tokusatsu Rangers" and the notes section "to defend Tokyo against Queen Walpurgis and the Night Witch forces."

I also propose we leave behind some hard to produce, highly valuable substance as collateral.
We should also give them a throw-away email address or something so they can tell us how to return it when we're done.
 
I was thinking weapons-grade Plutonium. Should be easy to make, right?
A big pile of miscellaneous radioisotope-tagged pure chemicals would be worth a shitload of money. Apparently it's gotten easier since I last looked, but still thousands of dollars per milliliter. They're used for biological research, pick a single atom in a compound and swap it out for a radioactive isotope of the same atom, then feed it to some organism and use radiation detectors to see exactly where that one atom goes after the compound is used for biological processes. It's pretty neat.

Exactly, we should make some for them. After all, what's the worst thing that could happen as a result of Grief-assisted nuclear fusion?
 
"Yes, it's only 160 meters long, so if I was standing in the middle, it would be completely in my control radius, but we can't crew a naval vessel with chibis. It's undignified. I mean, we could, but..."
Oh, hey.

Mahou shoujo who made the appropriate wishes would make the best Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio/Kancolle/Azure Lane cosplay.
 
Honestly, the impression I get from Sayaka in these updates is that she very much likes the idea of justice and righteousness but she's presently going off her gut feelings rather than the results of analysis and so still kinda struggling with what that actually looks like and requires in practice.

Which... yeah, she's young yet. She just needs time to learn how to deal with the actual workings of what she wants to embody.
Correct!

Mitakihara Middle School is Mitakihara Middle School, but there's still only so much philosophy and jurisprudence you can drum into a teenager's head.

Anyway, that aside... Votes?
 
"No, Homura, it's a bad idea. The Arleigh Burke destroyer has a normal crew size of 275 people, and we don't have nearly that many magical girls available, even for Walpurgisnacht..."

...

"Well, yes, Sayaka can create a lot of clones, but it's still very..."

...

"Yes, it's only 160 meters long, so if I was standing in the middle, it would be completely in my control radius, but we can't crew a naval vessel with chibis. It's undignified. I mean, we could, but..."

...

"Look, it's not reasonable. Somebody would notice."

...

"Well, we're naming it after Mami."

*Requests transfer to Chibi DDG*

I can provide training on how to use some of it! : P

Just a wrinkle that might not have been debated yet... but since we are Sabrina....

Just by finding the right persons, at the right moment, then...

We ask the admiral and / or general, and get them to volunteer to fight the 'kaiju.'

Fully crewed weapon systems, doing what they swore an oath to do. Nicer than Grand Theft Boat?

A world without weapons, where we own all the guns.
That means we make the rules.
Governments have been founded on this principle.
Some of them lasted for months!

So your first line has just the right cadence that I thought you were going to burst into song or something. Or at least couplets. Now I feel the need to try and continue that idea. Let's see... Well, not entirely sure where this ended up, but, here we are then?

Tentative title:
"Even wonders and clocks."
because I was using something specific as a reference to keep the tone, and I can't un-associate it, so I might as well have a title.
===

A world without weapons, where we own all the guns,
That means we'd make the rules- when our battles were done.
We'd have snuggles with Mami, and hug all our friends-
Time for science, and picnics- and making amends.
Then again, what's to say that there isn't time now?
(It's always the people, not what power allows.)
We've got fighting to do, and a system to break-
But of equal importance are friendships, and cake.
So we'll SCIENCE! at Soul Gems; turn Grief Seeds to girls;
We will fight all the Witches; take on the whole world.
For the coming of Walpurgisnacht, we'll prepare,
And threats to our friends better damn well beware.
We'll steal yakuza guns, take their gold, burn their drugs-
But we'll also remember: give Homu-mom hugs.
We'll eat lunch on the rooftop- chat, joke, reference memes-
And we'll earnestly ask our friends: What are their dreams?
We'll spar with Kyouko; we'll give Nagisa cheese;
We'll offend Oriko when we microwave tea.
Talk oujos with Kirika; with Madoka, chairs.
(Perhaps draw some attention to Homura's hair.)
We'll make dinner with Mami, and glide through the skies
And believe in a world where our friends will survive.

Save the world, save one girl, save our friends; it's the same-
Daunting goal we've picked up and attached to our name.
But someday, we'll succeed, and we'll save everyone-
And then maybe, just maybe, this Quest will be done.

POEM.
Gaaaahhh half of them feel like they have the right cadence for Still Alive and it keeps tripping me up.

Adhoc vote count started by Onmur on Apr 7, 2018 at 2:30 AM, finished with 135744 posts and 8 votes.

  • [X] Propose making a robust Grief-construct lie detector, testing it among yourselves, and having you and Homura question Oriko and Kirika with it. If it works, you can eliminate the question of trust altogether. You could even make questioning sessions a regular thing, if absolutely necessary.
    [X] If Sayaka isn't willing to provide escort for them, you will. You've done it before, after all, and things went well. Besides, you've already trusted Kirika to have your back in combat more than once--and she's performed above and beyond expectations every time.
    [X] Tracking suggestions/ideas.
    -[X] Mami: Ribbons.
    -[X] Sayaka: Mitakihara Avian Surveillance System.
    --[X] Could she hypnotize the local fauna into doing surveillance work? Not just on O&K, but for Mitakihara?
    --[X] Powers: Dr. Dolittle + Hypnosys + Mind-editting?
    --[X] Mami could help setting up an alarm system?
    --[X] Consult with Satomi?
    -[X] Asking Yuki to claim wherever we move O&K to, in addition to the place Homura picked?
    -[X] Hiring someone with appropriate powers, like Taniguchi?
    [X] Where to move O&K.
    -[X] The Kures' place?
    -[X] The warehouse Oriko had prepared?
    -[X] Anyone (Homu) has a place in mind?
    -[X] What to do with the Mikuni mansion? Propose having it sold, and using the money to repay the Mikis.
    [X] Mention: Plan to involve adults.
    -[X] Benefits include breaking down meguca isolation.
    -[X] In the long term, you want shrinks.
    -[X] For now, meguca parents:
    --[X] What would Sayaka feel...
    --[X] Telling the truth to her parents?
    --[X] Having Oriko confess her crime to them?
    [X] Thank Homura and Sayaka for hearing you out. (Hug Mami).
    -[X] Promise we'll be extra careful for their sakes.
    -[X] Offer to share information:
    --[X] Oriko's foreseen death.
    --[X] Oriko's fear of 'Feathers'; her demands of us.
    [X] Ask Homura for a moment in private.
    [X] Plan Acknowledge Wrongs Done
    [X] Oriko and Kirka decisions
    -[X] Set dates for defendants to speak, later determination of sentence.
    --[X] Must learn how to do this despite the powerful feelings and belief difficulties.
    -[X] Move them, adopt a proactive boundary approach to security? The techniques must generally apply to other Magical Girl security threats.
    --[X] Sentinel animals, magical radar, tripwires, proximity, pick an approach to develop first.
    --[X] Check in by phone and neighbors in addition to GPS. Lie detector enchantment inspections on demand.
    -[X] Oriko reacted positively to saving others. Our job is to train her thoroughly to that. Sayaka should determine progress.
    -[X] Community service isn't just fighting / working for us. Most of their outdoor time will be mundane charity work.
    --[X] We choose the circumstances, in this case to maximize empathy.
    -[X] Back to school for them, if we can find a safe way. Too much free time.
    -[X] Confinement in a dormitory setting. Others do not need to be prisoners. They must be cooperative informants.
    --[X] Daily Supervised trips outside, if no assigned social task.
    --[X] Designed until you are all satisfied.
    [X] More on the GENERAL topic of adult help now? Anri is still out there. We still need civic development assistance. Refugees are in mourning.
    -[X] Emotion is the defining feature of our powers. We need to get better at emotion. There is training.
    -[X] Ask alternatives. Ask preferences for how they want to see this happen.
    --[X] If Rionna aides us we have no way to cement those gains, or spread the help once she leaves.
    -[X] We interview and hire crisis intervention psychaitrists NOW. Therapists for emotional skills development next.
    -[X] Older Magical Girls might be worth contacting now? Tsubaki?
    -[X] Watch DVD. Also enchant a little. That soft rock is ready for other magic now...? Pass it around. Or try to transform it into various objects.
    --[X] Try to transform the enchnated rock into ice cube? A candle? Fruit? Imagine strongly
    -[X] Telepathy Hijiri. Offer caring invite. Ask where she is bedding down. We could be helping.
    [X] Telepathy Masami & Hiroko about Ono and Kuroki.
    [X] Tracking:
    -[X] The same ribbon method that Mami used to track Anri should also work to let Sayaka track Oriko and Kirika. If they leave the areas we designate or break the connection, she'd know immediately.
    [X] Where to move them:
    -[X] Move back in with Kirika's parents? Would they accept their daughter's lesbian lover, even if she's rich?
    -[X] Oriko's warehouse hideout?
    -[X] What to do with Oriko's house?
    --[X] Does Sayaka want to burn it down? Only seems fair.
    --[X] Does Sayaka want to keep it? Only seems fair.
    --[X] Use it for refugee housing?
    --[X] Sell it to pay back all the people displaced by the apartment fire?
    [X] Regardless of O&K, the issues of a justice system are still something we need to address:
    -[X] Getting adults involved?
    -[X] Is this something Sayaka would want to share with her parents?
    --[X] Would she want Oriko to confess to them?
    -[X] Legal scholars? Maybe the Shizukis know somebody?
    -[X] We really do need a psychologist to try and rehabilitate people like Anri. We can't just imprison her for life, especially when meguca are effectively immortal. Have to try to cure her.
    [X] This day has been really long. Hug Mami.
 
What would happen if we just voted to hug Mumi and not to let her go?

Sabrina breaking down on the spot, or something?

*****

"This Tuesday is already too long, now leave me be and let me huggle teh Mami in peace."

Unexpectedly, by this very action, Sabrina fixed everything ever.

GOOD END
 
I'm honestly much more interested in hitting the Yakuza to drum up some cash. If Homura gets some small arms out of the deal, great.

Keep in mind that Nadia was warned us that the Yakuza does have meguca working for them. It may be safer to get one of our other money making ideas running, I'm partial to the idea of creating custom scientific equipment.

Unfortunately, that's going to take a while to get going, and cash is getting tight now, so we're probably going to need at least one more score in the meantime.
