Hmm. I'd like to work out our schedule for the next few days. Some of our more successful time periods in the quest so far were ones where we took the time to plan things out ahead of time.

Here's my preliminary schedule, but I'm very much open to suggestions. ( @The Phoenixian 's point about doing witchbomb related things Friday is well made.)

-snip-

My own thoughts:

Today:
• Enchantment practice.
• Discuss Oriko.
• Brainmail groups in prep for future actions.
• Get back on the #nyantokanyaru IRC. Get to know them. Make them your standard offers. Also offer to hire them?
• See if Homura is willing to spot a dewitching experiment for us.



Tomorrow (Friday):
Morning:
• Meet with the Fukushima Mercenaries.
• Discuss dewitching progress.
• Try to therapy Airi.
• Discuss Tokyo in more detail.
• Have Fukushima share their general "contacts list".
•Prep for the Sojous with them?
• Meet with the other Fukushima Groups, distribute Clear Seeds.
• Contact, Ishinomaki, Sendai, Tohoku, Tome. Ensure Sunday visit is on track.

Lunch:
• Have fun with our friends.

Afternoon:
• Check the Shiogama refugees Witchbomb status. Introduce them to the Animators.
• Ensure our locals are warned about the Sojou sisters.

• Additional dewitching science.
• Figure out the deal with Feathers.
• Sayaka will probably make her decision about the secret by this point.
• Check on Sasa?

After School:
• Go with Sayaka to Kyouko's training.
• Try to clear the air with Kyouko in general.
• Talk about recruitment plans and strategies with everyone.

Saturday:
Morning:
• Go shopping with Mami.
• Open a bank account in prep for meeting with Hitomi's family.
• Deal with other administrative things?
• Contact Mika and ask about magical girls in business.

Afternoon:
• Time permitting, make a trip to provide Clear Seeds to a group? Kyushu?

Evening:
• Meeting with the Shizuki's.


Sunday:
• Cleansing trip.
• Involve Tome too.
• See if you can make longer visits. Hang out a bit.
• Bring Homura, start recruiting.

Monday:
• Sojou Sisters arrive.
 
Also important: What is the relationship between the soul's fursona and an individual's patronus? Identical? Mostly independent? In a committed relationship? Druid and animal companion?

Mostly independent, of course.

The patronus is both a guardian to the wizard who casts it and a symbol of significance to their character, in the symbolic language of their culture and their inner life; that Harry Potter's patronus is a stag speaks to his relationship with his late father, for example. It says that James Potter is a symbol of emotional (if not physical) safety and protection to Harry, as a man who unconditionally loved Harry while he was alive.

The fursona, on the other hand, is more than just a symbol of personal significance to the person it belongs to; it is, in some sense, a symbol of the person it belongs to, a direct symbol of the self. The fursona is more than an extrinsic guardian to the person it belongs to; it is, in some sense, the intrinsic person himself. It is, if only superficially, everything that one hopes and wishes for, an earnest statement not of what the self "is", but of what the self "could be".

The fursona and the patronus are independant, but as they come from the same person, they can of course overlap. It's not a coincidence that when Harry sees himself casting the patronus charm for the first time, he sees his father: this shows us that Harry is comforted by the image of his late father, but also that Harry aspires to be like James, and takes some comfort in that. (And that's also why Harry feels doubly betrayed when he learns that his father wasn't perfect, etc.)

The current discussion is making me half-want to write an AU where Sabrina wished to be a furry and Firn had to figure out how to bullshit-potential that into being as rad-awesome as Griefbending.

See, what could be more powerful than being a furry?

On a superficial level, to become your fursona is merely to assume "the shape that you wish you could inhabit" (the 'soulshape' or 'eigenself', perhaps, if we're lame and we wish to dispense of the terminology of anthropomorphism).

And make no mistake, even that power is supreme. It is the transubstantiation of an abstract idea into physical reality; it is the outright Materialization of the Soul.

But on an esoteric level, what does it really mean to become your fursona, to become your eigenself?

If the fursona is what the self "could be", without regard for "what is", then to be a furry is, if only in some measure, to embody that ultimate possibility which lies outside of conventional human existence. To become a furry is to escape "the self and the story which you have been given" and to become "the self and the story which you have made for yourself".

It is nothing less than a path towards the completion of the Great Work and the union with the Higher Self.
 
It's not strictly an animal theme. Sabrina went with plague doctor because that's the role she plays in Worm, and the bird thing was probably a bonus. I'm pretty sure the Kures would stick with their existing wedding theme, just with a more opaque veil on Oriko and a mask on Kirika.
Heh?

I've never heard of this, but it shoulds heck of a interesting is it an Omake in thread.

My goodness I've been out of action in this for a long time.
 

Good insights. @Godwinson , @Vebyast , @Muramasa , @Kaizuki, and everybody in general, have a look and share your thoughts. If we can come to a general consensus, I'll write it up in the day planner and wiki.

Only Saturday and Sunday have changes compared to @The Phoenixian 's suggestions.

Looking at a map of Japan, Kyoto is actually basically smack-dab in the middle of the path we'd need to follow to go all the way south down to Kyushu. Hozuki, on the other hand, isn't so far north that we couldn't get there after heading to Sendai and Ishinomaki, especially if we're dedicating all of Sunday to it.

It's a Godwinson's ( dead ) PMAS/Worm crossover
There is also a APGTE/PMAS one, by Lord Chungus
Also dead, sadly
*Looks at dates*

Ah that explains why I missed em, I wasn't exactly in the headspace needed to enjoy the thread at the time, but I've been recovering.

Heh it's a shame weapon magic isn't our thing or I'd suggest we pull a Dedede on the hammer we make and see if we can't improve it.... a waste of time compared to just grief bending of course but eh.

Could we get Sayaka to do some enchantment practice with antimagic? If she can do that, we could use antimagic enchantments for a second layer of defense against mind magic (in case Umika's thing doesn't apply for some reason), make antimagic armor both as a supplement to our grief armor and as something to protect Madoka (Homu would definitely approve of Madoka having an antimagic jacket or something), and have some offensive antimagic rounds (we can make some barbed antimagic darts to shoot at magical girls outside of our control radius, they'll stick in the target and make them unable to use magic).

Even if Sayaka can't pull that off, Kirika probably could.

Think we could fit a date with Mami in there, maybe during the Sunday cleansing trips?

Oh, and regardless of that, what could possibly ruin our plans, that we'll have to adjust for?

Mmm, fitting in a date with Mami would be super nice. And yeah, Sunday would be the place to try to fit that in.

We can't predict:
  • When Sayaka might make her decision about the Witchbomb.
  • When Sayaka might have an epiphany about Homura.
  • If magical girls in need might contact us asking for help.
  • If other refugees might arrive.
 
[x] Kazumi:
-[x] Given Toshimichi is strong enough to control Tokyo, maybe we should err on the side of caution?
--[x] Ask for Mami's advice - you trust her instincts.
-[x] Tell Kazumi about Fukushima - hiring them to contain Airi, and them wanting to ride the wave you're creating and agreeing to a mutual defense pact.
--[x] Inform Kazumi that you'll ask Fukushima if they're interested in sending a representative.

[x] Contact Yuki from Fukushima:
-[x] Inform her about your goals in Tokyo, and what you've learned.
--[x] Ask if she's interested in sending some representatives to a meeting with Chiyoda.
--[x] Ask to discuss what she knows about Tokyo in more detail during tommorow's meeting.
-[x] Ask if she'd be willing to help you contact the other Fukushima Groups tomorrow, to spread Clear Seeds.

[x] Oriko discussion:
-[x] Per vote in abeyance.

[x] Enchantment studies:
-[x] Follow Mami's advice.
--[x] Else, per vote in abeyance.

[x] Discuss future groups to contact with your friends. Take suggestions for other groups, and for scheduling.
-[x] The other groups in Fukushima.
-[x] The Tome Group.
-[x] Sono Mako's Kagoshima group.
-[x] The Murasaki Shrine Maidens, in Kyoto.
-[x] Tsubaki Mikoto, in Hozuki.
 
Just had a thought. In case Madoka will say "I have no special talents" or something like that again sometime, we should keep a spray bottle in 4-space, spray Madoka with it, and hand it to Homura for future use when the situation arises.

This is very important.
