Mmm... Oriko and Kirika don't really have skills to put on hunting.

No tracking skills, no movement skills beyond the norm.


I missed this on first read, but did Sayaka consider and dismiss copying Kirika just now?
"Umika can protect you too, Sabrina, Mami. Ah... I suppose you don't need protection, Kirika-san, Oriko-san. Miki-san, do you need it too?"

"Uh," Sayaka says, blinking. "I can copy... no. I mean yes, it'd be good to have it, Miss Kazusa."

There's also remembering for the whole group to link up when they find our culprit(s).
I have an amount of faith in humanity.

Perhaps it's misguided many times, but I think we can all trust this groups...

... Consisting of Asunarians...

... I mean they're smart people in general, but...

... Maybe a reminder is in order.

I think it's too early to discuss clemency considering we don't even know who it is yet and the Pleiades are stressed and angry as is.

It's not the time.

Yeah... I'm not to sure about clemency right now, either.

We can discuss our thief's fate after we capture her- alive.

Wait for combat to be over, tempers to cool, and then we can talk redemption.

Add in telling Sayaka to copy Kirika's power. I don't care if she grumbles about it; she needs to learn to be at least somewhat pragmatic, and there's too much riding on this to let something so petty risk success.

True. It might be due for some phraseworking. Would
[ ] Discussion on how to handle the thief
-[ ] We need her alive, and preferably talkative. If we can it might be smarter to approach her with a small group with minimal aggression
-[ ] Either way we need the whole team in visual range ready to fuck her day if something goes wrong
-[ ] If things do go wrong we intend to cause some pretty severe property damage. Shock & Awe is our Bread and Margarine.
 
OK, I guess it is too early. As long as we're there when the thief is neutralized... (Or, hopefully we can trust Sweet Cinammon Roll and her group).

Is there a reason you aren't including the strategy of contacting Homura for mental check-ns, @Onmur ? I know the range of the memory field is short, but it really seems like a why-not sort of thing. For now...

This works right?

[X] Onmur
-[X] Ask Homura if she's willing to make periodic check-ins, every half-hour or so, as the thief also stole a memory-deleting device
 
Sabrina doesn't need mom's help! She's totally an adult and can take care of her own problems!

Her and her 11 friends.

Hey, 12 on 1 is fair if you're just trying to hug the one...

or Kirika can stab you for posing a threat to her love of Oriko due to memory manipulation.

your choice.

We could give her a varient on the same speech I prepared for Taylor on heroism and acceptimg help from people you have legitimate reason to loathe.

"As a victim, no I won't ask you to to work with your abuser, you can simply leave anytime you want. However you want to be a hero do you not? And Heroes need to accept help from whoever is willing to give it, they can't just choose to let people die because they refuse to work with someone who is offering their aid!"

-[X] Telepathy to Sayaka: We know she has good reason to dislike Kirika, but hope she'll still be willing to copy her power. Anti-magic could be incredibly useful.
--[X] If she's still reluctant: Does she really want Kirika to be the only one who has such a dangerous power?

And Oriko could retort (truthfully) with "I got my head and arm blown off, and am under virtual imprisonment on threat of death by Akemi Homura. I think my debt is already paid."
Which isn't actually factually correct.

Or in-character:
"Those were not paying your debt - it was punishment for the crime, not restitution for the same. And even with (grumble) saving me from the Witch, you are still in the red because my parents were also there."

Restitution can be considered a monetary punishment or restoration of something stolen/lost. Forcibly copying powers is neither of those, and I hold to my belief that Oriko owes nothing further to Sayaka.
