All the options were tempting. Joining up with the army was a big deal but having someone in your corner with that kind of sway and power? Could be worth it. And Auteure sure made it sound like they would be in your corner. But turning into a 'monster of the week' could also be useful and it came, supposedly, no strings attached
A mirror of our (the voters) actual thought process. Interesting.
You shake your head, reasserting your cynicism and resisting the urge to giggle like a schoolgirl with a crush. Because you aren't one. At all. No way.
The Nile is a river in Egypt…
You glance to the side, wanting to see what Fukumoto thinks, but given the intense look in her eyes, the way she's muttering herself and the occasional quiet giggle…
Wow. Uh, she's probably not gonna be on the nice side of The Six.
You want to find out what really happened to your sister and, depending on what you find, deal with whatever/whoever killed her. Turning into a monster and making deals with the devil… They could help with the second part of your goal but you need to take care of the first part first. And that means you need answers.
Kaworu's getting into her investigation mode, I see.
So, a question it is. You can't completely cross out the possibility that your sister was an unfortunate victim of this evil monster army organization, she did like sticking her nose places it didn't belong, but you can't just straight up ask, hey, did you kill my sister? Well, you can, but then Auteure will probably realize you're looking for revenge. If they did do it, there's an advantage gone.
Fucking Ace Attorney Logic Chess is going on in Kaworu's brain, goddamn.
Boss lady did warn us that you would be the clever one of the bunch… Alright. You're correct in all of your deductions there. Magical Girls are real and they fight against the forces of Correction. In fact, they've only grown more and more numerous, popping up in many cities across Japan
Alright, that's to be expected…
Auteure takes a brief moment to readjust and again, you suppress a spike of jealousy at just how goddamned comfy she looks.
Though, I do want whatever Auteure has for a couch/seat now.
Once it reaches a certain size, and if the proper methods are used during its crafting, Miraculite takes on… well, almost a life of its own. It's still a reflection, or rather, a concentration of human… No, this is off topic, sorry. The point is, there are special, powerful pieces of Miraculite that, if bonded to a human, can turn that human into a Magical Girl. Or a Magical Boy but that's more rare for whatever reason."
Somebody write that down on the Conspiracy Board.
…
What do you mean we don't have a conspiracy board, people? At this rate, we'll need one!
again. "That's right. Apparently the robots were just as eager to get her Miraculite as they were about retrieving the Catastrophites
The… Catastrophites.
Can somebody get Fate better naming sense?
This one didn't give a name but given that she killed one of the Correctors to take a Catastrophite, she ran away from Kindness rather than work with her and the one spell she used was 'murder',
Oh hey, that was us. Seems that we're currently seen as "unaffiliated."

Death is not our step parent. That would require them to know our mom.

"Unleash Catastrophe: Death."
Once again, everything fades away. For one brief second that lasts an eternity, there is nothing. Nothing but you and the cold void. And the void wraps around you, armors you, protects you. For a movement, you are…
And then the moment ends and you're back on the rooftop, expect now you're a Magical Girl. And that's still a ridiculous thing to say but here you are. "Alright, that's step one done. Next, what exactly can I do?"

You're not really sure what you were thinking (you were daydreaming about Miracle Maker Kindness and how cute she was) but suddenly you felt something different that you can't really describe (hot, shy, needy, happy) and the words came to you
I… feel like any jokes I can make here might get me shot dead by the moderators. MOVING ON!
Kaworu now fully understands her capabilities. Proper combat plans can now be made rather than vague votes.

No Change. Kaworu is still grounded for two more turns.
Checks out.
It's incredible that Mi-chan is back, right in front of you. But there's just one thing… "You're a guy?!?"
What is it with little kids and being unable to tell gender? I mean, even I wasn't immune to this, I saw a kid with long hair and immediately assumed "girl".
"Hahahaha! Yep! Ah, I knew you remembered me!" The boy (who is Mi-chan?! Somehow?!?!?) straightens up, laughing, and okay, wow. There's no mistaking him for a girl now.
I see that our childhood friend has been lifting.
