I agree we need at least an entire vote, if not more, dedicated to the Homu talk. I'd like to get it started this update, if we can get that far, though.
It'd be easier to start with Homura's first reactions.
I'd rather be cautious not to cut off the work we're doing now by committing too far into the future. Even with a 1.9 and 2.3k update the talk itself was
long, and post-talk planning may not be much shorter.
If we want to know if Asuka Yuuri is still alive, there's a simpler way:
[ ] Contact Kazusa again. Sorry, you spaced and forgot something.
[ ] Are there any other magical girls in Asunaro we might be able to help while we're there?
[ ] If they don't have a Grief Seed handy, they shouldn't worry about it. We can hunt for one when they get here.
[ ] If they ever need any help... with anything... they just have to ask. We'll be there right away.
If Asuka is alive, Kazusa should mention her. If not, she won't.
Yeah, the green vote was kinda absent last update wasn't it?
I've been hemming and hawing about the
when of it, but I do agree with shouting out to Michiru again. At the very least we didn't
really mention the fact that we have spare seeds. (Not in a way that was unambiguous at least.)
The "we can help with anything they need" can wait until tomorrow but for the rest...
...Yeah, screw it, I'd rather do it now:
[X] Contact Kazusa again; You forgot something.
-[X] If they don't have a Grief Seed handy there's no rush: We can flat out
loan them our spare clear seed for a while and scrounge something up later.
-[X] Are there any other magical girls in Asunaro they would want us to help?
[X]Make sure Mami's Okay. Ask her thoughts and feelings.
[X] Restore privacy field
[X] Discuss...
-[X] The implications of what Michiru said.
-[X] Asunaro's 'villains': Motives, strengths and powers. Oriko's prediction that the Soujus will come to Mitakihara at some point.
-[X] Tomorrow's visit
[X] Warp up, say goodbye to the Kures.
-[X]In parting, bemusedly ask Oriko if she's ever seen herself in her visions using a skill she didn't know or doing something she didn't agree with.
[X] Talk to Homura

Pulled a few things from Onmur's vote.
I'm very leery of talking about Jyuubey or his creation too much given how
deeply tied he is to the witchbomb. Even at the basest level, his "cleaning gems" in canon has little to do with Kyuubey, and far more to do with the Saints not wanting to deal with the fact the effect of gem purification is effectively cannibalizing the corpses of former magical girls.
Subvote in consideration for "Make sure Mami's okay"
-[ ]Would being in contact with Michiru regularly help?
Because the more Mami's the problem lies just not being able to regularly contact her friends person to person, the more having regular contact with Asunaro would help if we can find a good reason. And we
have a good reason: Scientific partnership. Working with Asunaro could help us work towards our long term goals. Though that said I'm wary here and I especially think that the idea of scientific partnership itself shouldn't be directly brought up this vote. Mami's been a bit too much of a pushover and it's become clear that if we suggest something concrete she'll go along with it. We need to play it softly.
There's also a strange possibility I want to bring up along the talking about clear seeds to Michiru. It'll probably come up later, rather than now, but I think it's worth mentioning. Basically, I think it may be worth telling her that clear seeds are step one in
another process, one that could help save
everyone. If Michiru is privy to the witchbomb... It could give her a bit of hope.
