Why can't you guys get creative with the EXP plans this turn to? I came up with each individual one in a minute each. Hell, it took longer to TYPE the damn post than to make them!

I dont know what you would do, but I know what Naron said to me. Sorry but I will trust Naron there. Because he know I would complain a lot about it if he would lie to me.

Well, that's certainly clearer.
So run away with her, and try to convince her to meet our sister, afterwards call our sister.
I am afraid that the city will be placed on high alert - a MG hiding in the city is no joke, - and it would be impossible to hold a secret meeting with a highly visible official, even though she is on a vacation. But if it works, then perhaps our sis comes up with a way for Anastasia to leave the town safely. Hmm, smuggle her out?
Not entirely sure it's the best resolution, but it's something.

...holy crap. You guys are seriously considering to smuggle her out?
Question.
Do you WANT to die? Because you are going to die if you get caught.

Kinigget. There were literal witch-hunts when the twins were younger. They remember them.
Their is very little that would be a worse idea.
... Well. This is weird and awkward for me. I'm agreeing with DarkKing. I think that says more about how bad that plan is than either of us though.

I can't work up the motivation to write it out right now. Maybe later tonight. I'll force something out by then at least.

Just because we disagree a lot doesn't mean we lack the common sense to see that hiding what amounts to a terrorist and traitor of the country is a treasonest act that will get us executed for attempting....

First of all, who are 'you guys'? I just tried to make sense of the plan that was presented, because I didn't get it before.
Second,
But yes, I can't see hiding her as likely.

Good question I look forward to the answer tomorrow.

I'll admit that a lot of my plan relies on working fast and her being cooperative, but the only other thing I can see working is us saying "fuck it", transforming, and running off with her
but honestly? I'm not seeing all that much difference between what you proposed and what I wrote up, outside of specifics
the basic idea is still to keep the class calm, get her on her own, then bring in Bianca
It's all about presentation. Both to the thread and the majority of the characters in the story. One says two surprisingly competent sisters of the MoD, the other says... well, it can say a lot of things. Most of them dubious at best.
[X] Eva: Talk to her. Soothing, calm tones.
-[X] Topics: Why she bullied us, our sister and how she doesn't hate magical girls, why she's hurting
-[X] If she asks why we're helping it's because she's hurting and we want to help and because no one should have to run and hide in fear
-[X] Try to get to how our sister does not hate magical girls before Rico calls her and how she's the best way we have to help Ana.
[X] Rico: Keep the rest of the class calm. Use our best "Commander" mode big sister voice.
-[X] "Alright! Now, no one is going to panic. Because if you panic, she panics. And no one here wants that. So, you're all going to keep quiet and slowly walk out of the room without so much as looking at her."
-[X] Call Big Sis after and explain what happened. Including how this is probably her first transformation from how it looked/when it happened.
I need more topics to talk about. Something good for an intro topic. The dog and family are likely not safe topics, though the dog's actually a bit of a coin flip if she really likes dogs.

If somehow your plan wins and bringing up loving family makes her Attack us, I will laugh.
And rage. Rage so hard. Because that BITCH!
Which is why I'm avoiding family where I can, but we need to bring our sister up. To let her know she still has a chance if nothing else.
We are not mentioning we are magical girls, just passing it off as something that came up in conversation with our sister at some point.

Of course. You're smart enough to not have them bring it up.
And I agree. Which is why I'd rage so hard. Because that means I'd have fallen into that trap too.

only thing I might change is saying that we know Bianca doesn't hate Magical Girls because she doesn't hate us, but I have no idea how to word that properly

Why do you want to screw us over so badly? I don't understand.
Can't without revealing ourselves as well. That and... And it's a reasonable if irrational jump in logic for the twins to make. "Oh. She doesn't hate us => She doesn't hate magical girls." Especially with how Bianca went on to acknowledge and talk about how mom hates magical girls without mentioning herself in any way.
Everything has been set up to imply she doesn't hate magical girls.
This might not be true, but the twins wouldn't think about that I think.
Also makes for delicious future trauma if we find her brain-washed and enslaved in the future.
*Shrug* There just aren't many ways to solve this. Outing ourselves is a loss, coming under heavy watch via running away with her is less of a complete loss but still a bad one, her going murder rampage and running away cause she got spooked is a loss. Us calling our sister at least has the potential to let everyone walk away from this.
Edit: Also, again, topic suggestions if anyone has them. Family and dog are off limits. Unfortunately the only real connection we have to her is her bullying of us, so...

As for an EXP plan, we're only 14 EXP away from being able to buy Shining Protector which, now that Eva's a bit sturdier, seems like something worth getting
So save it up just a bit longer for thst, then we can start going into the fiddly details on spells, weapons, and abilities

...... I do not really like that kind of attitude. And I do not do things just to spite another.
Warmth =/= heat. Pain =/= damage.
You are just shadowrunning.
Yes.

Mate, stahp. At some point you have to substantiate your objections with something more than that. Otherwise it just annoys people who have ideas dismissed without an explanation.
@ShadowAngelBeta, am I mistaken, or does your plan invariably suggests Anastasia surrenders to the military and puts her hopes in that our sis would prevent the worst from happening? So there is no way for her to run if what Bianca can offer isn't good enough?
I mean, we keep the option 'to run and hide in fear' for ourselves, as far as I know, not fully trusting that a life under the yoke would be better.

How does the plan allow that?
It pretty specifically argues for surrender, and once Bianca gets here in an official capacity, she can't just let a Magical Girl go because she says so.
See, this is why I am not overly concerned with presentation. Tactics (how things are done) should never come before the strategy (what needs to be done).
So far the four possible outcomes were proposed for us to work towards:
- Do nothing, let things play out as they may and let Bianca sort the resulting fallout.
- Hide her, let her escape the city in secret.
- Let her be pursued, but have Bianca conduct the operation in a way that deliberately lets her escape
- Convince her to stand down and surrender to Bianca's mercy.
If you want to gun for several of them and keep the options open, you will have to make the plans more complex.
