Still nothing, people. Since there wasn't enough to make a full update out of, I've done what I always do and stapled what I wrote to the back of the most recent update. New vote now, looking for if there's anything anyone besides us might have to say, since we're SOL on finding anything.
And no, we can't just vote to change over to Homura to try and force a witch encounter there.

Maybe it's because I'm about to crash for the night but I don't really understand what we're voting for. Is it for conversation topics with Rider and Assassin or am I completely misreading this?

Uhhh, not sure what to vote other than what I already voted (return to Mitakihara and getting that debriefing out of the way). Not to mention the Grief Seed distribution subvote from a vote or two earlier (which may need to be changed to a max of 2 per person if other groups have had similar luck as Archer's). :/
EDIT:Y'know what, how about this?

Maybe we'll finally see if Mmaagha Kamalu can pull it's (conceptual) weight around here, and this could verify whether or not Rider was just seeing things (who knows, maybe it's another illusion-wielding Witch).

You're voting on "whatever you want to" because I didn't have enough to say this most recent update to have an idea of what direction we should be going either.
I have no idea what you were even going for with that, because from he way you worded it it looks like you were hoping for each group to possibly hit multiple witches in one night?
Archer won't be finding a witch tonight. I'm not going to durdle us around for an update and a half not finding anything, only to spring "Oops we found something" on us immediately afterwards. That's stupid. If we were going to find something we would have found it already.

Okay, edited vote, though it's mostly just a rehash of what's already been voted on.

Just a heads up while we wait for more votes- Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday we will be finding witches, just not tonight and not Saturday night either. There are only three left for me to use out of the roster I've been pulling from (and I'm not interested in making OC witches). So plan accordingly, and if there's someone specific we want Homura or Archer to work with on one of those nights, then for the love of God you'd better pray for my dice not to screw us over like it has been every night so far.

"... So we were the only ones to not find anything."
Archer looks around the room at the assembled team as he relays word of his unsuccessful party's hunt. "Figures," he says, shaking his head. "Well, that's fine with me. If the rest of you all managed to accomplish something, then that's still a success in my book."
"Indeed," Tomoe-san says. Even with one group having come back empty-handed, that's still four fewer witches roaming the streets that we can show for our efforts."
"We will have to be careful in the coming days," Mikuni Oriko says. "We've been more thorough in eliminating familiars this time around, so once the current crop of witches is gone that will be it, at least for the time being. For now, we might have no more than three successful hunts, from what I can see."
"Just three?" Nagatsuki Miyuki asks. "That... That can't be enough, can it? I... I still don't know if I'm ready. I can't have gotten enough combat practice in..."
"Do any of us know if we've gotten enough practice in to be ready?" Kirika asks. "I mean, besides Homura." She gestures to you, adding "She and Oriko are kind of the only ones that have any of what we're up against." Eyes fall on you and Mikuni Oriko expectantly, and Kirika asks you "So, what do you two think?"
"I don't know," you're forced to say. This timeline has been one surprise after another, and with witches being far stronger than you've ever faced before you find yourself dreading what Walpurgisnacht might have in store for you. "If we keep at it like we have been, then I think we'll be in the best place we can be, given the circumstance."
You look to Mikuni Oriko, hoping she might have some better insight to give you. "I... The future I saw then was black and fraught with destruction," she says, clenching her fingers together tightly. "I would like to say I agree with Akemi-san, that we will be int he best position we can be, but I cannot say whether that is a good position to be in.
Your sigh might as well have been for the entire team in attendance. You know nothing will be good enough to stand against Walpurgisnacht. Just luck, hope, and your willingness to do this over and over again until you get it right. "Shall we talk of more pleasant things, then?" Tomoe-san asks. "Fretting will get us nowhere and accomplish nothing." She turns to you, asking "How should we divide up tonight's haul of Grief Seeds? Some of us have so many, while others-" Tomoe-san's eyes spare a pass on Nagatsuki Miyuki in particular. "-have too few." You know Tomoe-san is probably including herself among that number, all things considered. Inwardly, you shake your head. Despite her seniority, she has a pitifully low store of Grief Seeds to her name, when considering the number that some others on the team have.
"We brought back four Grief Seeds tonight," you say. Those four Seeds sit at the center of the table, and you group them into two groups of two. "If no one else has any objections, then I think we can spare to give two Grief Seeds each to the two of us who have the fewest."
Kyouko scowls at your suggestion; you're guessing she thinks she put in more work tonight than some others, but miraculously she holds her tongue as Tomoe-san and Nagatsuki Miyuki each take their two Seeds. You still haven't figured out how to evenly divide the other Grief Seeds your team has collected this week, nor have you given any thought as to whom the Grief Fruit dropped by Elsa Maria should go.
"I also think we should discuss how to divide up the Seeds we've been collecting that haven't yet found a home," you say. "So far, our team is up six Grief Seeds, as well as the Grief Fruit we got from defeating Elsa Maria. I think now would be a good time to talk about how we should divide those Seeds up as well."
"Well, two of'em aught'a go ta me," Kyouko says, breaking her silence exactly as you expected she might. "I put in a lotta work , a lot more's worth than just fer two, so I think it's only fair that I get at least that. Ya can give the rest ta Four-Eyes, or split it between her and Mami if ya want. I don' care, s'long as I get at least some'a the credit fer my work."
You look to Kyouko. Everyone else also looks to Kyouko. Some look to Kyouko with less acceptance than others. "It's not like you need that many more Seeds, ya know?" Kirika says. "You've got more than either Tomoe or Nagatsuki, so why are you being so uptight about the number of Seeds you get?"
"Like yer one ta talk?" Kyouko says. "You, Big White, and Spooky all got more than me. I'm just saying I want fair compensation fer the work I put in, is all."
You interject before this argument has a chance to take a turn for the worse. "We're getting nowhere bickering like this," you say. "Frankly, it's a silly argument for us to even be having, considering we don't even need to be so concerned about the number of individual Seeds each of us has." you look to Kyouko, and say nothing as you slide two of the six Grief Seeds in her direction. She looks like someone begging for more food when they're in the middle of a full meal, but "If it'll keep the peace," then you're okay with letting her have the two.
"How many Grief Seeds do you and the others have, Nagatsuki-san?"
"Counting the two I just got tonight?" Nagatsuki Miyuki asks in response to Tomoe-san's question. "Uh... Four, I think; for all of us."
Tomoe-san shakes her head, pushing the remaining four Grief Seeds over to Nagatsuki Miyuki as she says "That just won't do at all. Please, Nagatsuki-san, take the rest and make sure you and your friends have enough."
In addition to Tomoe-san's generosity, you're inclined to contribute one of your own as well. "This should be fine as well," you say. "It's not like any of us needs a massive stock of Seeds anymore."
Hesitantly, as though she expects you and Tomoe-san to go back on your word, Nagatsuki Miyuki claims the Grief Seeds as she asks "So, uh, what's this Grief Fruit you mentioend before?"
"It's an oversized Grief Seed that dropped from the witch we fought two weeks ago," you respond. "We have no idea what its limit is as far as the amount of corruption it can hold, and so far we haven't had to test it out." Your eyes dance from Tomoe-san to Mikuni Oriko, and you ask them "Do either of you have an idea as to what we should do with it?"
"We can keep it in communal storage for right now," Mikuni Oriko says. "It should be safe enough. But perhaps, once we've established ourselves with that secret base idea of yours, we could store it there for safekeeping. I'm sure that between Lancer and myself we'd be able to set up adequate defenses around the Grief Fruit so that no one could take it from us if they managed to sneak in."
"Yeah, that should probably work," you say; if it's Mikuni Oriko saying it will work, then you can trust the chance for success. But how silly is it to be making all these optimistic plans for the future, when you don't even know if that future will ever come?

There wasn't much I could think of doing for how little I was given. If one of you wants to fill in the blanks as to what other witches we might have come across, feel free to; or not, it doesn't matter to me if it's made explicit or if it's left implied.
Looking for an answer to Kyouko's demand- Not just from us, but from the entire team as well. Do you think everyone else is okay with what Kyouko is asking for? When we're done with that, I'm looking for what our plans are for the rest of the night, though keep them brief-ish* if possible, as I'd like for us to be able to finish today off by the end of the month.

Let's see... Given an hour or so for club practice/for Oriko to come down from Shirome, Archer and co. take at least two hours to sweep their part of Shirome twice, give it some time before and after the hunt for basic discussion stuff+everyone else pretending like Oriko and Kirika aren't being overly-affectionate goobers who need to do that at home, etc...
Probably close to 8-ish, if I had to pin it down, maybe 8.30-ish?
We could spend some time with Madoka, Archer could spend some time with Minako, we could intrude into Oriko and Kirika's affectionate goober-ing and spend even more time with our big sis, etc... There's stuff we can do.

Oh, @SVS, also pertinent. It was never mentioned in the post following this vote, but could you let us in on this situation or do we have to waste another chapter asking about it? They gotta account for Miyuki's friends too so that they don't Witch out or anything.

[X] Plan Kyouko Loves Food Analogies
-[X] Agree with Kyouko's demands
--[X] While doing so look at her with the confusion of someone seeing someone else begging for food while holding a sandwich and surrounded by bags of groceries
---[X] While you understand that she feels like she needs to be paid for every good action she takes, you just find it very strange that she's demanding for Grief Seeds like this when they have a method of reusing them and while she's much better off than a full third of the team; it's not like she'll run out of her backlog any time soon even while only half-filling them, anyways
-[X] Like Kyouko suggested, a couple more could be given to Tomoe-san and Nagatsuki Miyuki in addition to today's haul; the Grief Fruit shall remain communal property of the Holy Sextet, and when they can set up a base of operations they could set it up so that anyone could dump their Grief into it at any time while having Runic defenses that prevent it from leaving a certain portion of a room whether spatially (normal movement or teleportation) or dimensionally (like with your hammerspace)
--[X] Depending on Nagatsuki Miyuki's past or future answer on her friend's Grief Seed situation: if they have incredibly low or nonexistent personal Grief Seed stocks, offer a couple of Grief Seeds to each of them from your own stash to be delivered to them by Nagatsuki Miyuki; seeing as they're noncombatants, a couple for each of them should be fine for now as long as they don't get into any pointless fights and seek aid from them when necessary
-[X] When the team meeting is over, see if you can't hang out with Madoka at her house for a while to just enjoy each other's company while watching TV or being shown her recent forays into art; if she needs any help with her homework she's welcome to ask as well
--[X] You don't mind that her parents and brother will be in the house while you're there, it's not like you'll be doing anything l-l-lewd or anything... except maybe doing a bit of hand holding *gasp*
---[X] Specifically, catch up with Madoka's life while you give her the rundown on your own endeavors like how the new girl - Nagatsuki Miyuki - is integrating into the team along with Saber (such as telling her about how the famous Miyamoto Musashi acts, and how she's apparently a woman like King Arthur was). Speaking of their lives, when would Madoka be comfortable going on a date in the near future? End up asking at some point about how Sayaka and Hitomi were doing earlier today.
----[X] Specific activities could include helping Madoka with her homework (more than likely the more logic based ones like sciences and mathematics rather than her creatively-minded ones like language or art), watching TV/a movie together huddled up on a couch/bed while eating snacks, showing her some photos on your phone of the impromptu sleepover you had last night, etc.
-[X] When you get home, do the usual Serenity thing while practicing Inguz
-[X] (Archer) See if you can't make some quick plans via text with Minako to head on over there to cook up something with her, and you may or may not use your Magic HandsTM to give her a (platonic) massage to relieve her muscles of any tension her previous working schedule would have wrought on her body
--[X] Ask her how she's been now that she's acclimatizing to an adjusted working schedule, about whether or not there's anything she wants to do together as a couple in the future (even if it's long-term like traveling to a specific country to sight-see or something), telling her what you know about Kirika's sleepover last night and how she seemed in high spirits, about her thoughts on her daughter's situation of being a Puella Magi and otherwise letting her pour out her worries to you, etc. If she propositions for something a bit more physical again, plainly tell her that you'll concede to absolutely anything she'll want to put you through after around a week (or maybe less than a week) has passed from today; just to make sure that the foundation of their relationship isn't going to be built upon that of course
-[X] During the dead of night, practice Tiwaz as per usual
Since SVS' last post was a little vague and since it's been a while, gonna post a vote anyways with a conditional depending on what we the readers don't know yet.
Archer definitely would have been put to work by Rin in massaging her and whatnot (since he was there only because of her vouching for him) when he went with her to the Clock Tower, considering her disposition and her crush on him (at least before he left the Clock Tower to travel the world to save everyone in front of him); at the very least he should know the basics and such... probably, maybe.

She may see that as teasing, and not in a good way, given we've declined to getting 'intimate' with her several times now. I'll admit that's kind of a stretch, though. Take it as you will.
