TO DO:
[X] Keep playing dumb. You were just hoping to meet a friend.
[X] Enquire after your friend, Tomoe Mami.
She was always friendly in her biographies, as well as being magical girl for several years now.
You are past friend passing by, heard that Mami was in town? Any better excuse?
[X] Enquire after this stranger, Shizuki Hitomi.
Suggest Ryoko to say "Might as well see what is who is she. Never heard of her. Maybe she is distant cousin or likelier just random chance?"
[X] Play along, to meet new people.
Social protocols are rusty in this instance of prediction process, so we aren't getting rid of them in way that is easy or not awkward. They caught fun mystery, a juicy gossip to spread. We are going to follow by them for some time, so running away or, even worse,
teleporting away, will just bring unnecessary problems sparking their teen girl gossip spreading imagination.
[X] Mark location where we appeared and set alarm to remember later.
We came here trough wormhole trough time? When we have free time, we could check place again to see if we can find wormhole and travel back to our time... hopefully without crazed looking Homura waiting us... Or to see if someone else will follow from out time.
Hope for best, expect worst. Could be nice if worked, but I don't think it will work. We probably already missed time to find and reopen this wormhole.
[X] Check how many grief cubes we posses
Do we have enough to cleanse at least one full gem of grief? Less or more of cubes?
Started rereading story and Reviewing Ryuko's memories there is historical film of time when Mitakihara four went for trip to countryside. It has heart-warming scenes every film maker or book writer should try to include for milking money, so likely that Ryouko has seen it.
Important thing is Group having to gather stash of cubes to pay nearby team for taking care of their territory,
as well as announcing own presence to team in which territory they passed of own non hostile intentions, paying grief cubes toll to them at MG they stayed at.
More reason to be polite and announce ourselves to Mami, as well as
bribe her for goodwill gift her some grief cubes for as sign of our good, non hostile intentions, asking for help?
(OOC who knows. only Kyubey might recognise cubes, but them not having existing for 2-3 thousand years? Or wraith rarely spawning only in locations where witches are rare, which Mami wouldn't know with how little MG are organised on national and higher level... none at all...
and wouln't be much worth from low grief capacity, but still interesting curiosity that should not exist)
To NOT DO:
[ ] Enquire after your friend, Nakihara Asami.
[ ] Enquire after your friend, Simona del Mago.
Let Ryuko search for them with telepathy and gem as she will likely wish, but not ask those girls about them. If we lie they are in some random class, in same school as those girls who are likely to follow us, we will be found fast. Also we do not know any nearby coffee/candy/icecream shop near current location where we were "supposed to meet them". Hard to make believable plausible lie. Or any other past liked by girls of this time period like visiting those extinct animals called "shopping malls", what ever they were.
Then again those girls might be expecting we are setting up joke with Hitomi and to make false excuse for being here anyway. *shrugs*
Also hasn't Simona said she will take care of Asami? ... This ride includes only us and they will be waiting for us? Ryouko might hope/think differently, but as Tactical advisor we should take this under consideration.
[] Enquire after your friend, Sakura Kyouko.
We are Clarisse, Ryuko's Tactical advisor, we wish very best for her. And Kyuko is not that in this period of time. If memories and histories on Mitakihara four are correct, then Mami and Kyouko dislike each other, as well as Kyouko being delinquent. No way we will allow Kyouko to teach our charge how to rob ATM or drink until drunk (not like it will happen thanks to implants) or other bad habits... if Kyouko decides to help us in first place, that is.
Also repeat, Mami and Kyuoko are disliking each other, we are possibly in Mami's territory... We are too far from Kyouko's place and Mami might not be happy.
(out of character there is Kyouko being highly selfish to let familiars kill peoples, until they grow into witch that provides grief seed, finally making it worthwhile to spend magic in fight)
[] Enquire after your friend, Akemi Homura.
No point really. Isn't she supposed to transfer few days later, not contracted yet? As well as her being sweet, shy, sickly and clumsy girl? Lets not bring her more problems then she needs at moment.
To not take into consideration, just a joke:
[] Go read "How to swear like professional Sailor - intermediate course"
Confirmed that we, Clarisse, have a soul. That is probably highly dimensional energy pattern aware of parallel universes. That higher dimensional part of us that can only watch us, but not influence is learning to swear.
Insane looking Homura? Warning of true enemy? ...
Has Quest master set us up and sent us into Rebelion related timelines? Like at start of film into Homura witch labyrinth or after she became Devil Homura?
I so
hope there will be no need to use all this swearing that's going to be learned.
Probably no need, as Ryouko is a bit unsure of relationship?
Now Asami would be much more ready to declare this.
On future.... random ideas.
Ryouko has lot of diverse education that would need university and is too hight tech for current time? Later to look for Some job for her and us/Clarise over Internet?
But something legal and not going too far.
So no hacking with TacAdv to make money (to make intelligence agencies wonder are we lone hacker, group, cyberwarfare division of another nation using supercomputers or even aliens) or mining cryptovalues like bitcoins (bitcoin started at 2009, we are in year 2011?).
Also Knowledge she has on MG...
Clone bodies for magic loss.
MG IS Soul gem, as well as 100m range, but we still think gem and body just... disappear... into thin air when overfilled with corruption.
Trained in military. If girls starts to go too deeply into depression (Sayaka moments before witching out or Mami after finding how MG transform into witches)... We could later set up a deal with Homura to use her time stop and our teleport for taking gems out of range from body, then tie depressed girls for bed and provide therapy with gem covered in grief seeds... Was this called "befriending"? Protective Confinement? Homura might not care about anyway not Madoka, but reason of having more firepower to kill Walpurgis might convince her to help.
In month or two real Clarisse will come for founding of MSY! Maybe she could help us as she her power is tied to history? We just have to survive long enough! (... yeah I know she will come... but as Witch...)
Those wraiths (familiars) look weird. Made of paper thin protection and no grief cubes! Also those weird Boss wraith (Witches)! And miasma (labyrinth) made of drugs!
Knowledge of Kyouko's future as... Cult leader for Church of Hope... Very likely deleted at first chance... but giving Kyoko back... "The Book"... she wrote and gave Asami and Ryouko.
EDIT: I should apply axe to this wall of text, right?
