It's my side of paranoia, then.A few minutes of real time at worst. I don't think she can do anything truly dangerous in that amount of time. I suppose she could beeline for Oriko and kill her, but that just sounds like Diabolus Ex Machina. And also really, really stupid, given her behaviour thus far.
I mean, I'm thinking we'd be walking away until we were ~175 metres away from Riona (still well within sensing range), Homura timestops (instant action), and gets us.
I doubt Riona brought that many shades, so I think almost two blocks worth of distance should be safe enough?
Bonus paranoia: Tell Homura to circle around and approach us in a direction that would put Riona directly and futher beyond our position:
I was so bored I made this :
FAKE EDIT: Sorry about long winded response. I feel pressured to act this way due to possible consequences if we do not.This is trickery that makes me unhappy. It's clear that 'next meeting' is just a ploy so that we'll either attack her then, or we're setting it so that she lowers her guard and doesn't anticipate we'll attack her before it.
I was unhappy enough for us to attack her in negotiations because negotiations broke down, I'm even more unhappy knowing we're planning in advance to trick her by setting up a future supposed meeting.
I'd like our word to have weight such that if we say "we're letting you go" it actually means "we're letting you go" and even our enemies can trust it -- and if we want to not let her go, we should actually say "No, we can't let you go."
Well, I'm not entirely happy, but 'next meeting' is meant for us to get answers from Riona.
Like, if we decide we're not going for that (Mami, Sayaka, Homura decide Riona's too dangerous), we just gank Riona in a few minutes from timestop with antimagic enchants... instead of doing the same after having that chance to get answers from Riona.
I've given up on redeeming Riona since after last update; at this point I just want this information we might not get another chance to get before it becomes crucial.
How else will we find out information about our weird Soul? Who else has a chance to analyze the feather and find if it's actually weird or just a normal feather (though I'm wary of actually letting Riona see the feather)? Who else can give an useful opinion about Oriko's Soul? What about Clear Seeds?
Some of this might be really crucial, specially if Riona can tell us anything about the Feather that might be a clue towards Feathers, and this might be the last chance we get to find out before we actually need to deal with Feathers...
Again, if Sabrina's friends decide to act now, I guess we'll go with that, but I think there's some really important information we need to get, and Riona's the only one we can get even hints of them from.
