@Redshirt Army, maybe throw in just sitting back and relaxing with Homura for a while in timestop? I'd say she needs all the decompression she can get, but I don't think she'll take any of her own initiative. If she objects, point out that we've got all the time in the world.

Well if we're gonna furnish the warehouse into something fit for human habitation, we could turn that into a group activity with all the girls (maybe include the Asunaro girls too), have them help pick beds and furniture. It would also help throw off suspicions, as it's now a bunch of teenagers that decided to remodel their rooms at the same time, instead of just a couple of girls that are buying enough furniture to fill out a dorm room.

Edit: Oh, and votes opened around 4 hours ago BTW.

It's been abandoned for a while. Does it still have electricity and running water?

The useful thing about Oriko's little hideout is that she already had it outfitted for human habitation. It just needs more beds. (And we should probably return the fridge we took.)

Since, as you noted, Oriko already had electric appliances setup there, I'm gonna guess the power's running and paid for in advance.

You're getting confused. He was saying that Warehouse-kun, the warehouse we do science experiments in, doesn't have power, not Oriko's warehouse.

For the sake of clarity, I propose that we call Oriko's warehouse "Warehouse-hime" from now on.
 
[x] Wrap the conversation up. Let Homura compose herself. Some light conversation if it seems appropriate. Perhaps about your new surname?
-[x] Ask Homura to get back to you with a time for that shopping trip and that science session.
-[x] If she has any issues at all... you're always happy to talk.

[x] Dinner Date Dinner time with Mami.
-[x] Drop Homura off somewhere, if she wants.
-[x] Be sappy and affectionate.
--[x] Keep conversation light during dinner, if you can. No heavy topics, just Mamifluff.



For next update:

[ ] Go home. On the way, contact Kyouko and confirm that training with Sayaka will be happening. You might be able to come by tomorrow to discuss particulars, but your schedule is busy enough it might take till Tuesday.
-[ ] Once home, practice enchanting a bit while Mami finishes her homework. Help her if she needs it, of course. Focus on your "natural magic" exclusively.
-[ ] Look up flight directions to Asunaro, as well as the region in general. While you're at it, do a brief global overview.
--[ ] Also, Google if humans have bones.
---[ ] Also also, check if Google exists.

Adjusted schedule for tomorrow:

• Wake up, breakfast, make lunch for exchange, escort Mami to school, etc.
• Prolonged defensive speckled magic enchantment session, focussing on immediately useful long term practical effects.
• Ask Oriko for permission to use Warehouse-home for lodging if needed.
• EXECUTE PLAN: CAW CAW (But actually just pick up Kazuza like a sane person. Well. Mostly sane.)
• Gib cler sid.
• Asunaro Social at lunchtime, wheeeeee~!
• During afternoon classes, give Kazuza the tour and ask where she'd like to stay tonight. Even if she agrees to stay at Mami's, go outfit the Warehouse anyway while she tags along, discussing the Shiogama situation and your overall plans.
• Maybe some Sayaka training or witch hunting or something, while involving our visitors. I dunno.
• Sleepover with Kazuza, probably.

More broadly, we could turn the entire Mitakihara-Kasamino rust belt into a secret meguca city: We have access to a illusionist, and will soon have access to a matter manipulator. The illusionist isn't even that necessary, because of Kyuubey and muh masquerade.

There's also the flying grief house idea, which I will never stop advocating for, particularly as a way to mobilize the Kures. We already lug around tons of the stuff, so why not use it? The abyssal nightmare geometries just add character. :V

Sabrina: Oriko is paying for the land
Homura: No
Sabrina: I mean we are stealing her cash to pay for it
Homura: This is ok.
 
[Q] Put Sayaka in a Grief bubble with us to check if she's an angel.
~Are you an angel?~
The fractal nightmare sphere of grief closes shut, and then illuminates softly, lighting the whole of the interior with a soft purplish glow. Sayaka shuffles awkwardly, brow crinkled as she looks around at the walls. You turn to face her, placing a hand on your hips and raising the other to rub your chin thoughtfully.

"Okay, Sayaka." You say, causing the blunette to stop examining the walls and look at you. "Before I get into it... I want to warn you that this sphere will only allow absolute truths to be spoken while we are inside of it."

Sayaka looks slightly spooked, raising a single eyebrow. "That's creepy."

"It's necessary given the content of the conversation we're about to have."

"You know I won't lie to you." Sayaka says, waving a hand in the air. "I'm your friend, remember? Even if you are kind of a secret-keeping meanie sometimes."

A moment of silence. "I'm a meanie?"

"WELL I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY 'BITCH', BUT OKAY, SABRINA!" Sayaka says, stepping forward aggressively. You shrink back, holding up your hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Fine, fine. I'm a huge blah blah bitch. I'm glad to know the sphere works, at least."

"I mean, I would have called you a bitch anyway."

You wave Sayaka's tangent off, before starting on the main topic. "Sayaka, we're here because I want to ask you something-"

"-Something Kyuubey and apparently even Mami can't hear, yeah, you said."

"-Something important." You grind out through your teeth. Someone'd been spending too much time with Kyouko, it seemed. "Sayaka Miki, Answer me truthfully... Are you or are you not a angel?"

Sayaka stares at you. It goes on for like, two whole minutes.

"What?" You say.

"Who the fuck just asks that?"

"What do you mean 'just asks'?! I literally made a Sphere of Truth and Obscurantism just to ask you if you're an angel!"

"Are you trying to tell me that angels are not just real but look like me?!" Sayaka says, pulling at her own cheeks.

"Are you dodging the question?!"

"Are you dodging sanity?!"

"You are! You're totally dodging the question!" You say, pointing a finger at Sayaka.

"Coming from a girl who- Oh, I get it. Is this why Mami wasn't allowed to hear?" Sayaka says, bluster leaving her and blushing slightly.

"What."

"Look, Sabrina, I'm sorry to tell you this and I really appreciate it-"

"Wait, no, that's-"

"-But I'm just really... I don't really like girls like that-"

"That's not it at all!"

"-And I can't return your feelings. Sorry."

"Oh my god, I don't have a crush on you Sayaka."

"Oh."

There's an awkward moment in the bubble where you both blush and try to look anywhere other than each other.

Finally, Sayaka speaks. "So, what did you want to ask me again?"

"ARE YOU AN ANGEL?! I ALREADY ASKED THAT." You're frustrated enough at this point to double-knifehand at Sayaka, eyes bulging out of your head.

"Like, angel in what way? 'Cuz I thought we just established not in that way..."

"Shut. Up. About that. I mean, are you in contact with - Or have you ever been in contact with - A divinity or other cosmic entity, supernatural or otherwise, with powers on par with supernatural law, and a sapient consciousness."

Sayaka blinks and struggles to process all that for a moment, before finally sighing. "I don't think so?"

"SON OF A BITCH!"
