All I know is that we should be appropriately surprised about Mami's surprise.

... Hmmm... thoughts on hearting Kyouko out and holding off on voting on any further actions for now? Take is slow?

Maybe we could multitask the IRCs while talking with Kyouko a bit, then cut to voting?

Difficult, we don't have a computer with us to IRC right now (I think we can't chat on Sabrina's phone either)

    ---[X]If you think things with Mami are salvageable, you could try rebuilding bridges with her. Learning how Kyubey was exploiting her... it affected her a lot. More people in her social circle might help her internalize she isn't on the edge of being alone.
    ---[x]For another idea, you could compile a list of witch locations in Mitakihara for later hunting by us so we don't need to spend time searching for a while.

149 words.

I cut the clone thing from Sayaka because I felt it was extraneous and distracting, and I streamlined the Kyouko talk - I think she'd appreciate getting to the point.

As long as we're appropriately surpriseed for Mami's surprised, I think everything else can be safely ignored. :V
 
[x] Redshirt Army

Because, as predicted, things have come up, and this looks like a solid vote.

But I'm still going to keep the "A quick Google for availability of Western-style mental health specialists in the Mitakihara area, particularly LGBTQ+ friendly ones; take (physical) notes." subvote on deck for the next time we have literally any time at all free, because either that, or giving Kirika an assignment really should happen sooner than later.

... also we really should use some of the Yakuza money we get at some point to get literally any sort of mobile internet-capable device that can use wi-fi, because all things considered, having to run to the library or something to do anything with the internet is really rather bugsome...
 
Is that better?

Don't overdo it, else Mami will think we're faking it. :/

I'm going to laugh if someone takes one look at our username and asks us if we're that grief controller they've been hearing about from Japan.

...Which brings up an important question. What is our username? Names are important, after all. You can't even lurk without one, that's how important they are.

Hmm. It seems there is quite less bigotry and prejudice than expected.
Then again, it might be just the people we've met are all more or less open-minded.
Also, I don't really know what level of prejudice to expect from 2011 Japan, so there's that.

Considering the universe is a setting for a shoujo ai anime, well, someone in the past could've wished for girls to be able to love girls. :V

One of those awkward questions you sorta have to ask your teenage friends. Oh, wait.

[] Ask your grandma whether she supports your relationship. Don't call her "grandma", though.
-[] Ask for the general consensus of Japanese people and government on the question of homosexuality, transsexualism and genderqueer identities.
-–[] Listen to the Talk. Don't plug your ears. Try not to cringe. After all, you've asked for this yourself.

Edit: forgot there are no umbrella terms for the questions of gender identity and sexuality.

I'm pretty sure we've never had Riona physically described, much less confirmed as sharing the only two physical characteristics we know about the mysterious Orikiller.

Oops? :V
Ugh, you know what? I'll tweak it a bit when I do the edit pass, but take it as a freebie. Riona is blonde and green-eyed, yeah. Along with the planes being sucked into engines.

Derping aside, can I get some more votes?
 
Hmmm... This might actually disqualify Riona from being the Orikiller.

Depends on whether Oriko saw her arrival, I guess... I'd like to shoot Oriko a quick question about it. Maybe next round.

[] Telepathy Oriko asking to confirm that Riona isn't her mysterious killer.

We should tell her Sayaka comes with the witch clearing deal as a minion while she workins in the city.: p

Did I say minion? I meant guide.
