Okay, so many questions that we don't know the answer to....
Are items in Homura's shield frozen in time? Homura probably doesn't even know yet. If so we could just throw the Seed in there to deal with later.
Is Charlotte really a threat if Nanami has Homura's help? A few railgun shots from timestop, maybe restarting time for a few seconds to let her change forms, then a few more railgun shots from timestop.
What the fuck, Simona? Are you seriously wasting time being jealous of Asami right now? Are you endangering the space-time continuum because you couldn't get your rocks off with the girl you had a crush on? That's like some Ikari Shinji level bullshit right there.

[x] Advise maximum exploitation of unlimited timestop. Fire multiple rounds from timestop, get to safe distance, restart time briefly to observe results, restop time immediately, repeat.
[x] Continue call with Kyouko. If she can give us her location, we may be able to get her there in time.

Not yet, she isn't. There's plenty of ways for things to go sideways and Nanami to decide to play the hero. It would be too much to ask for everything to go to plan; the universe seems hellbent on giving us problems to deal with, trying to make life as interesting as possible.

Going to agree with The Narrator on the plan, that will keep people safe.
Also we do need to share this with Ryouko since it relates to the proplem with Simona.
therefore:

It occurs to me that Homura and Nanami are going to end up spending a lot of time holding hands while they run across town.

Shouldn't the color be golden?
With respect to the amusement value here, if your vote deliberately evades the SV tally software's capabilities, I can make no guarantee I'll correctly count it.

Relevant to earlier discussions: I've been rereading some of the earlier story posts, and Ryouko confirmed that she still has her soul gem cover. So she's well protected in that regard.

Which doot, because I've been working on the assumption we don't as of waking up in Hitomi's house.
Edit: Don't bother, I looked for it, its checked for in 'do you have a crush on Hitomi?'

I think it would be useful to consider the manner that Simona contacted us. I'm going to assume its from the future for this.
Given the way we were contacted it makes it out to be only possible to send information, not actual objects. The more interesting point is given this is from the future, how does infuencing time work? The best guess is that current!simona won't know about this little chat and maybe never have it. They mention 'Well, alternate-us tried' when talking about Ryouko's death. This would lead me to conclude that by doing this they make it so the circumstances that lead them to make the contact won't happen and so we might not need to worry about this conversation impacting our relationship with current!Simona.

I think the opposite. Simona was worried about self-consistent ontological loops, which suggests that they can only safely send us information that won't cause them not to make contact. Current!Simona won't know about it either way though, since she hasn't had it yet.

Ryouko of course we have to tell, but the reason I want to tell Nanami is she's been thinking everything is on her, but we were just told that someone was fucking with her wish. Some of this crazy 'why did Nanami wish for this' stuff may not have been her! Letting her know that would be a weight off her shoulders, because it also seems she's more important to things being okay then previously thought.
There's other stuff too, but lets wait for combat-mode to be over before we tell people that Ryouko's girlfriend is now classified, why Yanderes are a bad thing, and the best way to interact with time-line clones of other people. For one, we need to figure that shit out when we aren't being pulled six different ways.

Maybe YOU should try relaying information to your past self through a hostile Simona.

ok.....
Okay, there are at least three different versions of Simona in play. We have 25th century Simona, who is aware that this has happened before, but may or may not know the details (though her confidence in her actions suggests she's been given a plan from somewhere), and doesn't have anything against Asami:
We have 21st century Simona, who we haven't met, but Kyouko describes as being totally obsessed with Ryouko, which Clarisse notes they hadn't seen before.
Finally, we have ceremonial dress!Simona, who is doing time travel interventions with future us, and who... thinks Clarisse and Asami are trying to keep Ryouko to themselves? Something like that anyway.
I think we can assume that ceremonial dress!Simona is the latest version of Simona we have seen so far, since if 21st century Simona post-dated her then there would be no need for time windows to convey a message. 21st century Simona probably post-dates 25th century Simona, because of the increased obsession, but it's not clear that they actually come from the same timeline. We also don't know what her powers actually are, but they're probably time-related. Seeing how future!Clarisse is working with ceremonial dress!Simona, I think we can assume that Simona isn't, generally speaking, our enemy, though she's clearly not totally reliable either.
He's my proposal for answering some of these questions: get Ryouko and Homura to track down 21st century Simona in timestop, and demand some god dammed answers. Ryouko so that we can take advantage of Simona's obsession to prevent her from running away (might not work), Homura so that no one except Simona can intervene, and no one else to avoid setting off Simona.

I've pretty much assumed that her motives weren't pure since she started putting her lips all over Ryouko without permission.
There's a difference between having impure motives and hating Ryouko's girlfriend and wanting to forcibly seperate them though. I feel like that represents a lot of time passing for Simona, either to outgrow her youthful obsession, or to spiral downward from repeated failure Homura style. Promising to protect Asami just doesn't fit with the Simona we just saw, or the Simona Kyouko told us about.I've pretty much assumed that her motives weren't pure since she started putting her lips all over Ryouko without permission.
Also, 25th century Simona was confused by Ryouko's "again". This must have been an early loop for her or she would have seen that reaction before.
