[X] I have the standing offer of free cleanses for soul gems and free restoration of grief seeds. You are right that I can't be attached to you at the hip, but would it be sufficient for your purposes if you were free to visit Mitakihara to ask for those? With Sakura, it shouldn't take too long.

[x]Begin increasing the intensity of the questions
[x]Point out the irrationality of Akiko to the other magical girls to get them on your side, maybe even ask them for info on Akiko.
[x]If there is any dirt on Akiko, try to use that to your advantage.
[x]If Akiko continues to stonewall you, advise Mami to stay strong, and then point out that she is playing right into Kyubey's hands. The very mention of the little jerk should get blood flowing, which, while not always advisable on a mediation, is likely to band the other magical girls against her.
[x]If Akiko cracks on the other hand, then thank her for being reasonable.

[x] To Akiko, telepathy:
-[x] What if I told you that there may be a way for grief seeds to be more than that? Not just safety and security, but hope for a return to something better?
-[x] I can't promise it. I've only barely got a hint of that as a possibility, and have been crazy busy the last few days, so haven't been able to really test it. But that hint
is there.
-[x] Maybe it's only a pipe dream, but I'm not going to give up on it. But the more fires I have to run around putting out, the less time I can spend on such things.
-[x] I'm offering this â€"
have been offering this â€" since the beginning. You can cling to safety and security, but that only keeps you tied to the here and now. If you want to try for something better.. if you want to
hope for something better...
[x] Fallback, in case the above fails:
-[x] Stand up. Sorry, an emergency has just come up. Save my seat for me, please.
-[x] To all Sendai: Sit tight, I'm coming over right now.
-[x] Pull down enough grief for a small carpet and jump on it to head directly to Akiko's position.
-[x] Start cleansing Akiko's soul gem as soon as feasible.

Aranfan,

[x]Reassure Rin. This isn't her fault.
[x] Telepathy Akiko
-[x] I can't be around you 24/7? With Sakura's help, I practically can. Anytime you want your seeds refreshed, you can drop in and I'll cleanse your seeds. If you want to stay above a certain number of clean seeds, I can do that too. How many seeds are enough? Would having 30 seeds ready to use at all times forever be enough for you? What about fifty? 80? Because that's what I'm offering here. Infinite grief cleansings. All I'm asking in return is that everyone stop fighting for a reason I've made obsolete.
-[x] Please, Akiko, work with me. This doesn't have to end in tears. I just need you to stop hounding the University group. You don't have to do that anymore.
[x] If she reacts negatively or rebukes our offer:
-[x] Start talking to her teammates. Rin and Sakura, mainly, and ask if them can relay the message to the other girls. Tell her what we've just heard. Do they really want to go with a plan to try and demand 30 seeds from a group that they know can't afford it and force us to side with the University group if they refuse, or would they be willing to work for peace with us?

[X] Speak to Akiko privately. Ask her if this has something to do with soul gems and Witches--and if it does, to elaborate. Heavily imply that we already know what she would be talking about. If she says that it doesn't, then ask if this has something to do with Walpurgisnacht.
-[X] If Akiko refuses to answer or gives an unsatisfactory answer, then go all-chat telepathy and point out all of the contradictory answers Akiko has given. Call her out on her bullshit, and explain that the only person who is not amenable to peace in exchange for Sabrina's services and a promise to keep the peace is Akiko, personally. Not the Sendai group, just Akiko.
-[X]Present ultimatum: Sabrina will enforce the peace and provide free, unlimited cleansing to everyone whenever they need it. Future disputes can be taken up with Sabrina and worked out. The Fukushima group will not be called in, or will be called off it already called in. Lastly, Akiko will be taken in for house arrest. The rest of the Sendai group will be free to go, but if any of them try to defend Akiko, they will subdued and taken in for house arrest as well.
[X] If Akiko presents a satisfactory or sufficiently compelling answer to the original questions, then we will determine our response in the next vote.

will crush you like I crushed the Ishinomaki group, don't make me fight you. Please reconsider this position.

[x] Reassure Rin. I know this isn't your fault.
[x] To Rin and Sakura:
Is she okay?
[x] To Akiko: Point out that she knows a teleporter and we're fine with her dropping by whenever for cleanses or to refresh Seeds. All we're asking in return is that everyone stop fighting for a reason we've essentially made obsolete.

Safety, security, commodity doesn't explain why you told us you were in Ishinomkai to heal Kato Setsuko. There's clearly more to this, and I can't help you if you won't let me. If you want, we can go somewhere to discuss the issue in private.
[x] If she reacts negatively or refuses our offer:
[x] To Rin:
Akiko has informed me that Kato Setsuko is dead.
Did you know about this? Why would she take you to Ishinomaki to heal a dead girl?
-[x] Relay to Mami, via telepathy what Akiko just told us. Thoughts
?
[x] To Akiko: One way or another your extortion of the University girls is going to stop. If we can't come to a peaceful agreement, then for any further payments you'll have to go through us. Please reconsider, I don't want to start that fight, but I will end it if you force my hand.[/b]

[x]Reassure Rin. This isn't her fault.
[x]To Rin and Sakura: Is she okay?
[x]Telepathy to Akiko:
-[x]Do you actually believe that, Akiko? Kato Setsuko is dead. Yet you're trying to heal her. Grief seeds bring safety and security. Yet they've brought you a war. STOP LYING TO YOURSELF. There are other ways. Allies you don't have to pay. Soul gems and grief seeds emptied of corruption, without sacrificing your reserves. Freedom to pursue your real goals, without being attacked or sneaking around.
-[x]Point out that she knows a teleporter and we're willing to accommodate visits any time.
-[x]I'm certain I can even help you with what you were trying to do in Ishinomaki, if you'll let me.
-[x]All I'm asking right now is that you stop hounding the University Group.
-[x]The enemy of the magical girl isn't each other. It isn't the witch. Our enemy is the system. I want to change that, but I need you to work with me. Please.
[x]If we're met with stonewall or refusal:
-[x]To Akiko: One way or another your extortion of the University girls is going to stop. If we can't come to a peaceful agreement, then for any further payments you'll have to go through us. Please reconsider, I don't want to start that fight, but I will end it if you force my hand.
-[x]Start talking to her teammates, Rin and Sakura and relayed to the other girls if possible. Explain what we've just heard, with a focus on all the contradictions. Do they really want to try and demand 30 seeds from a group that they know can't afford it and force us to side with the University group if they refuse? Or would they be willing to work for peace with us?
