"Sorry," you apologise in response to the glares. "I saw some reflected light, and I thought it looked like a sniper's scope. Have you ever watched a war movie or something? Like that."

"... really, Sabrina?" Sayaka asks as she checks on Hit.

"Look, in my defense, it actually was a sniper's scope," you defend yourself, smiling sheepishly.
DAMN. THAT WAS A PERFECT OPENING.

Seriously, kind of annoyed that Sabrina didn't take that. Just say "Yes, really. Because it actually was a sniper scope, and we're lucky it was Homura. You saw how fast Mami stopped Hitomi when she tried to slap me? She was ready for it because she's used to meetings devolving into violence at gestures like that. That level of paranoia is the only way Magical Girls survive. You should start cultivating it yourself."
 
A few minutes of flight later, you start to descend toward the Mikuni mansion, the onrushing wind dipping to a low roar. There's a faint glint down below, something glassy catching the light, which kind of makes you think of a sniper's sco-

Raise hands for "ORIKO!!!" reaction.

Too many speeches lately :/ seikyu getting tired of them.

Okay, that all went pretty well, didn't it? Sayaka clearly wasn't listening when we explained stuff to Hitomi last time, so she didn't fucking comprende on the initial line, but Mami filled in the logical continuation.

We didn't thank Mami tho. DX

That's true.

I think it went well, yes. Got all the points across that needed to be gotten across, and they at least have some perspective now.
violence

There's no kyusiko here

not that he has the right accent anyway, it's violin not violeeeeen

Nope it Homu planning on gunning us.

Looks like Hitomi going to be trouble, I wonder if she going to use Mikuni Hisaomi corruption and death as a way to verbally abuse Oriko by linking her with it. Sound like something that hits deep wounds for Oriko.

Plus Happy New Year.

Happy New Years.

Come on now, girl has an outburst once and people are already thinking she's some sort of bully.

Hitomi's a patient and competent lass, and a friend of Madoka. Let's at least trust her that much.
 

Okay, uh, I don't really even... Like what?

[] Go with the flow. Meet with Oriko and Kirika.
[] Stay close to Mami. Keep holding her hand. Chat on minor topics with her via telepathy if it seems reasonable. Should help calm her down.
[] Apologize to Homu for no advance notice?
[] If anybody tries to commit violence, restrain them. Except Homura or Mami. If Homura tries to commit violence ask her to timestop first and talk to us. If Mami commits violence... I dunno, Gemyank whoever her target is. She's probably doing the right thing.
-[] Break to voting if its not a quick fix?
[] If anybody does anything completely out of line, call them on it. Like, bringing up Oriko's father in order to hurt Oriko.
[] Stay honest except as needed to not metabomb/witchbomb anybody. Try to follow Oriko's lead, if she provides one, so long as she's not being an asshole.

I'm just tossing things and trying to see what sticks, here.
 
We should status update Homura.

[Q] Update Homu.
-[Q] Preliminary preparations done with minimal casualties; Table-chan's funeral will be held tomorrow at 11 am, followed by Table-chan's attempted Frakenresurrection at noon. We don't know if that's against her moral code but either way she should come 'cause there'll be food.
--[Q] Oh and the thing with Oriko looks promising.
 
Do we want Homrua to stay outside or come in with us? Coming in gives Sayaka and Hitomi more of the picture and a better idea of what other magical girls look like - especially if Homura renews her argument that we should be executing O&K instead of helping them - but would likely raise tensions.

[] Ask Homura if she wants to come in.

More to the point, I have:

-A plan for if Homu gets backlash for wanting to kill O&K
-No problems if Homu stays outside
-Even less problems if Homu comes inside and no backlash

The moment's not far enough gone that we couldn't vote to bring it up.
 
I'm an optimist, nyah~

I'm ludicrously pessimistic about all things.

Realistically speaking though, have you considered maybe having this initial meeting outdoors? Setting up things in a way that allows both parties to stare each other down from a distance, out of melee range, and far enough away that you can catch Sayaka before she kills herself on Kirika's claws trying to put a sword in Oriko's gut?

We said things to oriko this post that resembled "get an area ready". So, wherever o&k.
