Hmm... Since we're a Jane Doe, we're having trouble with our ID and actually getting into a school? Requires dropping the orphanage plan though.
That would imply we're also an amnesiac or some kind of homeless, since nobody came to pick us up and we're apparently not able to volunteer information for an ID.
... Yeah. Can't think of much. Kinda annoyed as well since it was kind of dumped on us instead of it being our plan. Not sure why Homura/the QM thought this would work in the first place as well. High School is optional in Japan and we could totally pass for a 1st year.
... *Shrug* We're fucked.
I do not disagree. It'd be easier to sell Ruby being Homura's older working nee-chan, except not related by blood, who puts food on the table for both of them. A reason for Ruby to drop Homura off at school, but not stick around.
I was under the vague impression that we were transferring in as well? Because that'd neatly wrap up any issues there, but I'm not sure if that's in the cards or not - Homura mentioned paperwork to allow the school to let us in, but that never got followed up on.
I didn't
think we were transferring in, but I guess it's possible? I thought Ruby was kinda just wearing a uniform and walking in, and hoping no one calls her out.
Yeah I don't know Ruby's legal status either.
Admittedly I was obtuse. I apologize.
It's fine, you're refreshingly polite about it.
What I mean is that, while the Catholic School plan does appear sound, there's no guarantee that some meddling force (Kyuubey) or suspicious associate won't look deeper at us.
Agreed on the risk of people taking a closer look at us. I think the hospital invites more of a close look, because Madoka may check up on us if she hears we were in a car accident recently.
We WERE in a hospital, but we don't have to say WHEN.
Not sure playing that particular game is wise. Us being recently at a hospital, especially when Kyubey most definitely saw us there, is the easiest for him to poke holes in.
Homura was
definitely recently in the hospital for her heart condition.
In fact, with the hospital plan, Kyubey has the most information readily available to poke holes in our backstory. Something to be wary of.
Of course he also knows we seemed to meet or have an incident at the hospital, but we're not doing omniscent Kubes, so I don't think he can deny the Catholic School backstory.
Either way we're opening ourselves up to some level of meddling. I don't think lying or being coy about when we were in the hospital will suit us well though. That one is fairly easy to poke holes in.
If we do a recent meeting, we need the backstory to be relatively sturdy and verifiable, at least to the sources they consult. If we do an older meeting in the past, we can aim for something so old nobody can verify for sure anymore.
On second thought: This, I think, might actually be reconcilable. Why don't we use both in some way? It might be even better.
Hmmm....it's possible, but we'd need to have a really good story that doesn't contradict itself, deny us the ability to improvise, et cetera.
I suppose if we say Catholic School for when we first met, there's nothing saying we
didn't meet again and recognize each other at the hospital.
The damned MMS uniform is still an anchor around our neck though...
