Still need to find a good answer for Mami, we should have time before Sayaka's training...

[X] Mami and Sayaka
-[X] Agree on a good time to go for cleansing to Kasamino (does Mami need more time to preparae her surprise?)


[X] Madoka (and Homura).
-[X] Let them go with your blessing.

[X] Sayaka.
-[X] Accompany her to training with Kyouko
-[X] Dump the birdseed on her
-[X] Make sure Kyouko and Yuma are cleansed, leave them with a seed, two is possible
-[X] Remember to ask to copy Yuma's power!

[X] Madoka (and Homura).
-[X] Let them go with your blessing.

[X] Mami
-[X] Be surprised
-[X] Tell her about your day: Mami is internationally famous!
-[] While on Kasamino, channel a bit of magic on Mami's ribbon every now and then
(not sure on this one yet)

[X] Telepathy Mika.
-[X] Thank her. Seriously.
-[X] Clarify we were not expecting her to go this far, without insulting her.
--[X] We're all for everyone helping everyone, but not in a favour exchange way, if that makes sense?
-[X] Ask for details about the church deal.
-[X] Without pressuring her, ask about ties between the Nakano and the Shizukis. We've got a Walpurgisnacht incoming, and there might be a lot of need to rebuild afterwards...

[X] Kyouko
-[X] Update her with the conversation with Mika
-[X] Ask Sayaka to connect Kyouko with Inoue Yuuki, the hackerguca. Explain to Kyouko she's the meguca you wanted to introduce to her in the first place: change government records like legal guardians, making fake IDs, etc.


Yuma's mother still her guardian, Kyouko seemed interested in fixing that. And if Sayaka is who makes the introductions then it doesn't have the issues of "Yuuki owing Sabrina" which looks like happened with Mika.

"So you're telling me that after offering to contact a magical girl for me who went as far as stopping my church from being demolished... she was the wrong magical girl?" *eyebrow twitch*
Yuma has grandparents who'll take her in if she asks.
 
Yuma is afraid to ask for help, because her mom hates her so she hates herself and believes she's not worth the trouble it would cause others if she asks for help.

Yuma believes she just needs to be a good girl and keep her head down.

Like Oriko.

Getting over this is how Oriko and Yuma solve their issues in that one side manga.
 
My apologies if this has been covered already, but I feel the need to comment:

Some of these timestamps are awful suspect.

Code:
[14:50:50] <EleseCanGoDie> oh cool
[14:50:52] <EleseCanGoDie> GriefBeGone, you're cool

I find it hard to believe that writing that sentence in proper CamelCase only took two seconds. It's not totally impossible or anything, it just needs a pretty high WPM.

Code:
[14:51:14] <GriefBeGone> you can ask Nadia to confirm this: my powers let me cleanse Soul Gems
[14:51:15] <GriefBeGone> genuinely cleanse them, as opposed to moving the grief elsewhere

There is no possible way that these sentences took three seconds and one second, respectively, to write. Assuming of course that you're a human and not, say, the anthropomorphic personification of a discussion forum..

I mean, if nothing else, we spent a full 13 seconds on "cabbits are for punting".

Code:
[14:55:32] <GriefBeGone> er
[14:55:32] <GriefBeGone> hello?

I feel like there should be a longer pause between these two lines, for effect if nothing else.

Code:
[14:56:25] <GriefBeGone> yeah
[14:56:27] <GriefBeGone> I'm trying to just get in touch with groups, see if there are crises going on, that kind of thing

Again, should take more than 2 seconds to type that.

Good update otherwise.
 
Is there anything urgent or can we tell Sayaka that Kyouko is angrily grateful at us and we're trying to figure out how to respond to that before we see her again, hunt a witch and then go home and social Mami a good bit? I've got some things I'd like to vote in...

For example I'd actually like to ask where Mami's parents are interred. I swear this hit me last night, but depending on where they are, well... Fuck Walpurgisnacht.

Did I already post this? I'm still a tad disoriented...
 
Possibility 1) Quota focused. Once quota is reached, they stop giving a shit about Earth
Possibility 2) Madoka Witch is simply that ludicrous of an gold mine, and it would take us multiple lifetimes to even come close.
Kyubey outright states #1 after Madoka witches out and destroys the world, and the fact that she can meet the quota singlehandedly implies #2.
 
Maybe UKG's Seed simply provides more energy than the entire calculated energy Earth will provide in the longest most probable run.

Did I already post this? I'm still a tad disoriented...
I was voting for going with Mami, but the fact I'm not certain whether Mami would prefer some time to prepare her surprise,
She smiles back, and opens her mouth as if to say something before closing it and burrowing into your hug once more. "What are we doing today?"
(Maybe that's why she's asking for our plans, instead of whatever she was going for at first?)

... and the fact we got enough Grief for half a clone (so, should be enough for a Chibi), made me change to answering Mami and asking her what she'd prefer.

We could stay, we could go, we could do both thanks to Ribbon connection and primed Grief ready to be turned into a Chibi.

Feel free to share ideas, at any rate. :p

By the way... we really need to start finding info on Iowa. >_>

My one idea about it is that, after we science our max travel speed, we go and find cities the Iowa groups has passed through, and try to help and get info from their victims.

I can't think of any other channels that wouldn't have a higher risk of our info-digging getting back to the Iowa group.
 
There's also the whole discounting over time thing.

Just like with monetary income, it's likely that to the incubators, grief right now is more valuable than the same amount of grief later.

It's quite possible that a single enormous quantity of of grief from a Madoka contract today is worth more to the incubators than a perpetual grief income from the Earth's normal magical girl output. Just depends on how they actually use it, and whether they can invest it in some fashion. (Which is likely. The universe is a large ship, and if you want to change its course, the sooner you turn the rudder, the better off you are.)
 
The specula that Elese is a local name for QB makes me wonder.

Elese = LSE?

Little Scurrying Enemy?
Elese - Meaning of Elese, What does Elese mean?

nobody on the other side of the conversation will suspect otherwise, because they're definitely not analyzing what we're saying just as deeply as we're analyzing what they're saying.

Germanic female name, "Noble." Therefore, highly probable that this girl somehow knows the name of a witch. Think about how that could happen. This would follow, she is our first candidate to test for the witchbomb.

The girl behind this handle is also FOCUSED on getting access to us. Motivation, much? Survivor, exploiter, researcher, hero, what do you think her deal is?

If we want to go with acronyms, a distant second in light of my proposal, it could be LC - the (L)ocal (C)ontractor, or most naturally LS, perhaps a (L)ittle (S)ister she is in conflict with.

Resolving this sure would be safer and more effective if a trained, experienced specialist was within Sabrina's social contact range...."
:whistle:

Please tell me how to completely convince you of the important benefits that this path will gain us?
 
Her grandparents are pretty decent, so that won't be as much of a problem as you'd think.
Her parents can go die in a hole, tho.

Yuma: No! I don't want to leave big sis!
Grandparents: Big sis?
>Meet Kyouko<
Grandparents: Oh aren't you adorable *dot on Kyouko*
Kyouko: .... wut

We should probably stop using our grief tentacles to type...

The only CamelCase there is Sabrina's nick. Don't some IRCs clients allow to quickly complete nicknames of people on the chatroom?

Yuma is afraid to ask for help, because her mom hates her so she hates herself and believes she's not worth the trouble it would cause others if she asks for help.
In that case we can still make Kyouko the offer, if she wants to take it she will. Reworded the line a bit.

Forget grief tentacles, we clearly need to griefhax up a usb plug with a keyboard driver, and type with our brain directly.

@Filraen you included the madoka section twice

However, I should adjust my vote given your ideas and trim it to 149 words

This. I'm staring to wonder what the thread has against psychiatrists.

**shrug** Time investment? I've accidentally'd my scheduling in that regard in real life in the past, and I wasn't juggling World Conquest Salvation: The Quest, so, **shrug**. We really need some kind of mobile internet so we can do our Google and our IRC while traveling, because I swear, most of our 'free' time is spent in transit or on telepathy-talk, both of which are things that we could probably multitask during. There are I think several things we could prolly get some of the background information collection done on in our spare minutes that way.

(Or, seriously, we could drop the local-psychiatric-care-dossier-research on Kirika. Anyone, thoughts on how useful this would be?)
