I think Ryouko is technically the leader being the highest ranking member of Governance currently present. Machina's status may be kind of weird and the logistics of communication difficult.
I am presently envisioning the pilot, who left a little bit of a gash while landing this vessel last time, attempting an East River approach to the United Nations in a post-9/11 aviation security environment, using only the navigational instructions which Simona has translated.
Logically, more recent claims to authority supersede less recent ones. That means Governance has a claim superior to all claims by other human entities and as their representatives that claim flows through to us and Ryouko.I think Ryouko is technically the leader being the highest ranking member of Governance currently present.

Honestly, I feel like making a scene would be a good thing? As an alien trying to make contact, your biggest issue is getting anyone who matters to notice you. If you just show up at the UN in weird cloaks you're going to get turned away, if you show up in a spaceship people will notice.Ok, tell them of a place in the middle of the woods near our house and/or near New York then they can walk to the relevant buildings in clocks similar to what they were doing already?
I'm not a fan of directing them straight to our house, since they're probably going to hang out there being attention grabbing to MiB types. Since the network plan seems to be a bust maybe we should just ask them to come back to Simona in ~6 hours? But we might need to ditch this place due to MiB, so let's just pick some random stretch of land and send them there.
We can go anywhere in the world, right? I mean a literal random empty stretch of land. The Australian outback comes to mind, just because I'm familiar with it, but there's plenty of places like that where no one lives or goes.So where would a good place be if not our house, should we say a secluded place near Mitikihara and visit them when we get time?
At the same time, the obsession with technology, the computer metaphors, and the fact that this dream is recurring suggests that she is influenced by the Clarisse who is a computer. We can also discount Governance-like future worlds since otherwise, all of this technology would be more advanced than what appears to be current day electronics.
I don't know if we've seen any world where there has been a "Mitakihara Academy." Governance has it named after Sayaka Miki, while Madoka Magica has it named "Mitakihara Middle School." Similarly, I don't believe we've seen a version of the school that has any dorms.
This suggests that her dreams are influenced by the SE timeline and Princess Ryouko, but this world's Ryouko is not a princess. Also we know that this Clarisse does not believe in our Lady and Savior Madoka Kaname as evidenced by "oh goodness" instead of "oh goddess."
Rebellion confirmed anyways? Akuma Homura is the only Devil that we know of within the Madoka Magica continuity, unless this is a more traditional Devil like in Christianity, which she probably isn't simply based on her gender."You, a little computer," continues the voice, laughing, and growing closer. And then suddenly you see the Devil., smiling, and she looks quite pleased with herself.
SLANDER. We always do alternate Clarisses on 1 April.To the surprise of no one, this appears to have absolutely nothing to do with anything that came earlier. Because non-sequiters are how Tomoyo rolls.

I'm counting on you, Thelxiope. <3Not one, but two songs? And before the opening credits, even? Oh goodness.
But... April 1st isn't for another 75 minutes!
Every episode of Princess Tutu opens with some narration. The narrator repeats a formulaic opening - detailing the death of an author, the charming prince and wicked raven who remained trapped in the author's unfinished story, their escape, and the prince shattering his heart to seal the raven away - and then usually has a short lead-in into the events of the episode proper.Once upon a time, a girl died.
The girl was a powerful sorceress, and to pursue her esoteric goals, she delved into many forbidden magics. Her final research was into creating stories; her death left unfinished a particular story about a brave and beautiful princess, who was supposed to defeat a monstrous alien entity. Now there would never be a conclusion to their endless fight.
"I hate this!" screamed the monstrous alien entity.
"I hate this!" screamed the princess.
The alien escaped the story, and the princess flew after it. Then, the princess took out her own soul, and using a forbidden power, sealed it away.
"Oh, this is perfect!" crooned the voice of the girl who should have been dead.
This is interesting to me - because the ongoing Princess Tutu homage wants the Devil here to be Drosselmeyer, I think?"Goodness," says a voice. "You're worried about her, aren't you?"
"Beep... boop?" you reply.
"You, a little computer," continues the voice, laughing, and growing closer. And then suddenly you see the Devil., smiling, and she looks quite pleased with herself.
"BOOOOP!" you beep, as all your interrupts fire at once —
The protagonist of Princess Tutu, Ahiru, is an ordinary duck to whom Drosselmeyer has granted the power to assume human form; and even to transform, magical-girl style, into the titular Princess Tutu, granting her magical ballet powers.Light shines in from the window.
It's a really cute dormer window, as you're on the top floor of the dorm. It's sort of a dumpy room, with a slanted roof, but you wouldn't have it any other way, for here you are afforded an excellent view of the quadrangle, and especially of the dorm on the other side.
You hum a little tune as you go about your morning routine: In the girls' dorm at Mitakihara Academy, morning has come again, it's come, it's come again. Doot, doot, dee doot dee doot doo doot dee doot dee doo, doo.
