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?

I'm starting to get a little exasperated with Koko's Tsun, and I really wanna skip over to that part where she finally goes Dere.
I realize that it doesn't work that way IRL, but the thing is we're not some shady narcodeale, whose each word she needs to verify for possible caveats and hidden clauses, we are a person who cares for her and, more importantly, for her worldview at least, are able to help her and not suffer consequences of dying horribly. So hey, we can be friends, can't we?
As long as she plays nice with Mami.

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.

If all of you feel that comms should wait, that opens an issue!

There are 40 (or more) unused words in the vote as I crafted it by that thinking. What will you do with those 40 words?

Certainly, don't be idle! Sabrina needs you to keep the initiative.
Use your vote. Fully.
 
Can someone help convince me that the hunting offer I tentatively offer Kyouko isn't terrible and dumb? Because I feel like it might be and need reassurance it isn't.

... Kyouko is so Tsundere for reasons that she's very likely to bite at anyone trying to help her. BUT this is framed as payment, albeit payment available due Sabrina being HAX. So she might take it, though her history with Mami might influence her as well.

50/50 odds.

random aside: I suddenly want to see Kyouko as a Shrine Maiden.

Sabrina: ... does this make you a heretic?
Kyouko: OK Stabbing time

Unless we are koko's psychiatrist, its probably the best we can hope she is willing to do to pay off the "debt". Mami reconcilation is too early and anything else would be too unSabrina. We want to help, do getting rid of witches fits both of our and her motives. Only thing might be iffy is where does she patrol, kas has too few witches and mit is close to mami.
 
Can someone help convince me that the hunting offer I tentatively offer Kyouko isn't terrible and dumb? Because I feel like it might be and need reassurance it isn't.
Sorry, but I honestly can't say I like it.

From our own perspective, yeah, we're getting her help to deal with a hazard, but the picture I get from Kyouko is that she sees things in terms of territory.

Taken that way, letting her into our territory, to hunt, is taking what she'd consider a gift and framing it as her doing us a favor. Given her not wanting to be seen as a charity case? I don't think she'll look kindly on it.

EDIT: Really, I'd suggest something myself, but I can't think of any good ideas. Making up with Mami, fighting WPN, and hunting all have their own issues.

I'm honestly considering just saying that we don't know what to ask of her, precisely because the things we can think of all have their problems.

I actually had some reservations about it as well. Mitakihara isn't Sabrina's territory. It's Mami's territory. We're the wrong person to offer that, given the history between the two. Kyoko would need to hear such an offer from Mami, and we're not there yet.

It's a favour for us if we get the Seeds, though.

Not sure how many, but we'll probably need a number of Seeds. If nothing else, so we can have Clear Seedsd on hand.

She will complain because we both know this would be cheap as hell. Yuma will probably let Sayaka copy if she asks, for free, even.

You know, there's probably some favours we could ask for that would benefit both of us, us because we could Kyouko to help us with meguca saving things, and Kyouko because repaying the favour might help her self worth.

She is, after all, a teenager.

We could frame it in ways, too... say, we won't demand she repay us, but sometimes we get in trouble and might ask for help, as friends. Or say we really need help cutting down the Witch population and getting Grief Seeds to use to help meguca, so maybe she could help us there, as a friend. Maybe we're gonna need experienced meguca like her to look after some newbies after meguca flood Mitakihara, so if she could do us a solid, you know, as friends?

:p

Of course, I still advocate not rushing to make deals, and asking Kyouko to think about it.

I guess something else to consider is, well, actually exchange favours. It might not advance our shipping of Kyouko and Sayaka, I mean, the reconciliating of Kyouko and Mami as quickly, but it might be easier on Kyouko.

Okay, I'm with Onmur here in that that's... a pretty milquetoast thing to ask. To the point that past history shows an excellent chance we could get it by just asking nice. I don't think Kyouko's going to see it as a fair payment for saving her childhood home.

Kyouko's indebtment: "all ideas are terrible" vs "no idea"? I don't want to give Kyouko a cue to ask about the "terrible" ideas.

Now that I think of it, do we even know if where the library is or if we can just use the computer there just like that? (without a second ID, for example)
