Absolutely not. We've avoided talking about this explicitly where QB can hear, and it should stay that way.

Sure. We should pay O a visit before Riona arrives, then, if possible.




Now, this is for when we get around to doing that 'experiment' with Homumom:



"OK, so..."

Sabrina and Homura looked up. They were standing on a greyed out desert, far, far away from any sort of civilization. Nothingness surrounded the girls far as the eye could see. The silence was absolute....

A titanic mass of floating Grief bore down upon the magical girls, high in the empty, colourless skies.

"Think it's enough?" asked the Grief controller with an easy smile.

In contrast, Homura's lips curled into a grimace.

"You think I should add more?" grinned Sabrina, palming an extra blob of Grief.

Violet eyes glared.

As if to torment their owned, the glared-upon girl giggled, but mercifully put away the handful of the magical-physical representation of despair.

"Weeeeeeell, if we're ready to go..."

Homura nodded and reached for her shield.

"Wait."

The slimmer girl stared up at her friend, to find her face contorted into a thoughtful look... and recognized it as the sort she got before she said something annoying.

Homura did her best to push down the urge to slap her palm over her friend's mouth, better yet, put some tape over it so she wouldn't be able to finish speaking out her thoughts -no telepathy in timestop!- and just keep going with the 'experiment', and thus maybe avoid having to deal with whatever came out of her latest bout of brain damage.

She managed. Barely.

She immediately regretted it as those sky blue orbs settled on her.

"Homura?" said Sabrina with utmost seriousness, "I'm gonna need you to un-stop time, but then re-stop time after one thirtieth of a second."

Said time traveller bit back a groan, and answered with a long, languid blink.

But the other girl just nodded to herself, deep in thought.

"And then repeat it after I observe the Grief... I might need extra eyes! I should make sure to not miss anything, who knows what'll happen when I release all this Grief, we might not get another chance..."

It was too much.

A long suffering groan erupted at the back of Homura's throat.

Sabrina stopped and blinked, turning back to her friend and confidant with a surprised look.

"You're right!" she exclaimed, smiling. "One thirtieth of a second is so last year. Homura, I'm gonna need you to stop and unstop time every one sistieth of a second. Thanks for bringing it up, I knew you had my back."

A hand easily reached to squeeze the shorter girl's shoulder, who wanted nothing more than to reach back and pull at the despair controlling girl by her cheeks and erase her easy, nice, trusting, comforting smile off her face.

Homura's head twitched down minutely.

"Great! Let's get started..."


"It's for Madoka," Homura repeatedto herself two relative hours later, while Sabrina took frantic notes about the Grief's behavior with multiple sets of hands.

One second had passed.

She's how we know Rionna's coming. I'm sure she's smart enough to identify her own murderer.

What if she had wig, Torg?

WHAT IF SHE HAD A WIG?!

Or she felt like omitting details because reasons. Or she didn't get a good look (though in that case, asking wouldn't help).

I feel this is the kind of thing where asking and making sure is common sense; sure my first thought is that Oriko should've said something, but she's Oriko.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

And it would be a really stupid mustake to make if Riona was the killer and we didn't know because we didn't bring it up... :p

Excuse me, I must flee.
 
I just had a thought.



* Niko



*Successfully de-Witches Anri*

"Buh what? I'm alive?"

"Alive and not a Witch. I'm sorry, but you'll have to..."

*Grief sunglasses*

"... Turn in your Witch card."

"What?"

*Stares*

"Oh, right, you wouldn't-"

*Snickers*

"... know what that means."

*Looks at Sayaka*

*Looks at Sayaka*

*Looks at Sayaka*

"... I just remembered a good joke?"

"... Was the punchline pants?"

"No."

"Was it 'I am not a Witch'?"

"... Yes."

"Sayaka..."

*Turns in her Witch card*
 
Ummm I still think we need more seeds to ensure proper experimental controls and sample size. Collecting them should be possible since we don't need to use them.
 
Onmur said:
"No way. Capes are much cooler."

*Poses with cape fluttering behind her*

"Nope. Trenchcoats are better."

*Poses with coat failing to flutter*

"See? Capes are way cooler."

"As your senpai, I say coats are the cooler pieces of clothing."

"You might be my senpai in being meguca, but not in fashion. Dork."

"Mami, tell her I'm right."

"..."

*Faraway look*

"Mami?"

... 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...

As someone who's currently trying to snag a smartphone that isn't available in the US... ...I just realized that most of my experiences are a useless comparison. Sabrina has an address*, fake ID's, and is in 2011, when the Iphone and Galaxy2 were the best smartphones.

*She can use Mami's, at least currently.

"Alright, Kyouko. Simmer down a bit. I said let's be friends, you said bite me. I said how do I prove it, you said church. I churched. Pretty well apparently. Gonna have to look into that more later and see how far it went. Now we're here. Is there something else I can do for you? Are we friends yet? Can we drop the whole grr thing and get to the laughy smiling thing? Play some DDR together? That's what I want. Happy magical girls who don't growl or cry and who can hang out and have fun together. How am I doing? You owe me smiles and giggles! Do you see white fur or beady pink eyes here? It's not like I was asking you to make a contract for a wish or something."
 
[X] Kyouko-
-[X] Ask her to slow down, fully explain? Conversation details about Mika?
-[X] If Kyouko were in a position to do what we did for... Not Mami, for Yuma... Wouldn't she?
-[X] If she really wants to owe us, though, she's welcome to try to force us to accept it.
-[X] Confess you might not have realized the ramifications of your actions.
-[X] If forced, the compensation will be "spend time with Mami."
[X] A quick Google for availability of Western-style mental health specialists in the Mitakihara area, particularly LGBTQ+ friendly ones; take (physical) notes.
-[X] IRC after, as time permits
--[X] Observe. Be reserved.
--[X] Introduce yourself; show curiosity; Namedrop Nadia.
[X] Sayaka-
-[X] Reconfirm Riona's appearance if necessary.
-[X] Would she prefer us accompanying her, or go to training on her own?
-[X] Can she magically swap places with her clones?
[X] Mami.
-[X] Be surprised!
 
The IRC channel is a social exploration, and as such can find us resources, antagonists, friends or any number of untold branching paths. But the main connection we can find there is "people to save." We need to develop our infrastructure in order to save a greater population. We are not easily capable of this yet. Our plate is full right now.

"Gaining therapists" IS infrastructure rollout for our plans. We should prioritize that pathway. If

_for some reason_

Sabrina can't Internet hard enough to read five search result pages and lurk a bit in the same 20 minutes, then we should definitely choose preparation for therapist contact over more random encounters.

The Frankenvote above is the view that we can easily surf this conversation with Kyouko if we make the attempt to listen, and respond using her vocabulary.

So, uhh...

Nakano Mika apparently has significant influence over the Nakano Corporation, a multi-million development company? And she's established as a scary powerful nineteen(!) year old veteran?

Did we accidentally end up making close ties with essentially a self-contained major player in the Japanese guca sphere? Can we use that company for post-WPN reconstruction?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Reconstruction? Not going to say "Yes," only because my policy is that WPN will be just a small typhoon to the civvies. SHE SHALL NOT PASS. And by this I mean no "kaiju damage" to our fair city. Mika is absolutely one key to becoming an economic force, and we should try to partner up somehow.

Spectral Waltz said:
Do we really want to put out that we're a grief controller on a public forum?

We're liable to get disbelief, or banned for trolling, and even if we don't, it's public, we'd be putting out information out in a manner that's completely uncontrolled. We're not at the stage where I think that's particularly safe yet.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Right, we are not ready - yet.

When we go public, it'd be better to focus on what we mean to them, not our specs. Thus, "Greater Mitakihara and Mami Tomoe Welcome you to a better city for Magical Girls." "City of Friendship, City of Magic. Come say hi!" A small amount of Magical Girl tourism will go a long way towards making us super famous.

Raiseth said:
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.

You must have us DO THIS. Nothing says "playing up my brain damage" like engaging unrelated adults in serious dialogue! Most adorkable conversation we can aim for?!? Also, Junko has Words To Live By(tm) Cheap at twice the price.

Maybe better use of our time would be later when we are back at Mami's apartment? Grief Clone and use both laptop (Mami has it now, right?) and PC to dual wield IRC and browse. Sabrina can hold multiple conversations at the same time so I think just multuple IRC/internet search won't be too taxing for her.

You know what, I really want to see some variation of this in the update. So much, in fact, I'm gonna change my vote to
[X] rkyeun
 
First Fake Username will be WitchGirlMumi and we will always type in zalgo filtered throught that gangsta translator site to cover our tracks.

Its a plan for testing the waters.
 
I don't know if you can vote for me if I haven't actually made a vote. Does someone wanna phrase what I wrote in a less jokey manner, and I'll vote for it? Or do you actually think the way I wrote it should be the vote?

  • [X] Kyouko.
    -[X] Ask her to slow down and explain. You just asked Nakano to talk if she thought it'd help. What happened?
    -[X] Respect Kyouko's feelings if she feels indebted.
    --[X] Offer her a simple way out: You're friends, you're not gonna hold this over her head.
    --[X] If she insists, you might ask her to help keep Mitakihara clear of witches and familiars for a few days? Don't rush into making deals.
    [X] Cut to voting if Mika Nakano needs to be immediately contacted.
    [X] IRC
    -[X] Observe. Try to not step on anyone's toes.
    -[X] Introduce yourself; show curiosity; explain how you found the channel (Nadia).
    [X] Telepathy Nadia, ask for a physical description of Riona.
    [X] Sayaka.
    -[X] Reconfirm Riona's appearance if necessary.
    -[X] Ask if she'd prefer us to accompany her, or to go to training on her own.

    -[X] Ask her to slow down, and explain?
    -[X] Try to talk things out, make sense of things in both of your heads.
    --[X] Mika might have felt we were demanding payment for the Clear Seed, and gone beyond what we thought she even could do.
    --[X] This was unexpected. You just saw a chance to help, and tried to do the right thing.
    --[X] You're friends. You're not gonna hold this over her head. If she saw a chance to help Yuma, or anyone in a similar fashion, would she not?
    --[X] If you can't live with yourself otherwise though, I have two ideas but am very open to counterproposals.
    ---[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.
