No clue what you're going on about.
I'm talking about the "Hijiri is behind it, but let's pretend like she isn't to the Pleiades /because approach.
Also, we'll definitely go back to unassisted tracking if we don't propose new approaches, and I'd rather try to opem that door of possibilities.
I can fit in the tracking suggestions from the vote in abeyance, if you think next update will get that far.
And confirm whether the Seed Airi was likely looking for is within reach.
Unacceptable witchbomb risk.
We may have to Gem or even Kill Meguca at some point, but I would prefer to exhaust any and all possible alternatives before that.
We aren't capable of reasoning with Airi, and compromising with her is unacceptable. The only solution available to us is to remove or mitigate her motive for plotting the deaths of the Pleiades.
Kirika and Oriko were worth saving, Hijiri and Airi are worth the attempt as well.
I would much,
much rather gem Airi than witchbomb everyone present (including Mami!) at this point in time, and I don't believe we can pull the grief seed gambit off
without a witchbomb.
[X] Thank Kazumi, but you'd like to stay, if she'll have you.
-[X] Give her the lead. Only step in if Hijiri is treated inhumanely.
[X] Oriko: Confirm Hijiri is the mastermind.
-[Q] Ask Oriko for advice on talking around capured former villains.
[X] Mami, Sayaka, Kazumi:
-[X] Share your gathered info. Hijiri's probably the quote-unquote "brains" behind this mess. Stress that it's still be possible to get through to her, though.
-[X] That said, Airi remains an unstable lunatic with an unlimited magic source. She'll need to be hunted down.
[X] Hijiri:
-[X] Ask how the Niko talk went.
-[X] If she makes amends, you can help her set up a life anywhere she'd like.
--[Q] But only if she doesn't plan on replacing all humans everywhere with clones.
-[X] Non-accusatory tone: Talk about Airi's issues, and about wanting to help her too. Mention her comments.
-[X] Ask Hijiri to volunteer any information she can. Being honest will help her.
[x] Hunting: Vote in abeyance.
