1) can simply be fulfilled by flying away. but this would leave it wholly upon luck if our mother dies in the crossfire. not really acceptable.
to fulfill 2) we need to do something else. I suggest simply asking them to move their fight elsewhere. if they endanger mother we will shoot at them. neither girl seemed especially eager to hurt civilians, so i do not see much trouble with that.

Uh... I guess I was not clear enough about it. If you run, they will not just start duking it out with civilians right next to them.

I will be nice and tell you that both Judge and Brave Heart have a Story-Affinity.
 
Only reason I'm not turning to murder to keep our secret is two things. One, the mental and emotional damage that'd cause. And two, I don't want us to lean towards murder as the solution to everything. But I fear that this may be one of those times to keep our secret to... not murder by god don't murder her!

I highly doubt she'll let us simply kill her, by us claiming we have orders to do so. that's sound simply ludicrous to anyone.

Let's approach this from a priority goals stand point.
1) don't get ourselves killed (we have no idea how strong any of those MGs are, but our sister called us weak)
2) don't get our mother killed
3) don't get outed

that should be our goals, and should be our goals in that order.
1) can simply be fulfilled by flying away. but this would leave it wholly upon luck if our mother dies in the crossfire. not really acceptable.
to fulfill 2) we need to do something else. I suggest simply asking them to move their fight elsewhere. if they endanger mother we will shoot at them. neither girl seemed especially eager to hurt civilians, so i do not see much trouble with that.
if they are unwilling to change their venue, we should take mother and move her away from the fight while protecting her.

fulfilling 3) is very very hard, likely impossible here.
we'd need to make sure there is no report to the military of us. we'd likely have to kill brave heart to pull that off. She seems to have bought her brainwashing.
we'd need to make sure there is only signs of the two known MGs. we don't know if Judge uses fire, but most likely not. so there mustn't be any trace of it.

I don't see us fulfilling 3)

NO! DON'T MURDER JUST BRAVE HEART!

The reason I'm panicking is because I just realized that Brave Heart helped us. Killing Brave Heart would involve Judge trying to kill us because we back stabbed Brave Heart.

We'd have to kill both.

...do you think 3v1 will help us win?

Yeah, and Nightmare Child is Fable. What's your point?

Edit the second: Never mind my panicking guys. She won't attack us for killing Brave Heart.

Any ideas yourself on what to do while attempting to keep ourselves hidden as long as possible?

I don´t think staying hidden is possible anymore, because we transformed right away. If Brave Heart survives, she will give a report. This will blow up our cover in the end. Naron created a situation where we have only 2-3 choices that wont end totally bad:
1. We run away. But we wont have the same support from our sister like Anastasia.
2. We search if someone in the car possess a cellphone and call our sister. IF Brave Heart let us do this and we dont cause too much trouble for Mother and big sis.
3. (What I would prefer.) We search for a cellphone and run away with it (if it isnt broken) to call our sister later. In the hope Naron isnt too mean towards us.

Uh... wat?
Judge did not backstab Brave Heart because she does not like doing it; does not mean she will judge (heh) you for doing that.

Oh. I'm just in full panic mode. Thought she'd be more strict. Though I suppose she'd understand wanting to keep identities hidden and all that.

Though we'd owe her one. A big one. Would we be willing to get that debt guys?

He has a point there.
The problem is:
- if we fight we will suffer (at least mentally)
- we give up and go with Brave Heart we will suffer
- we dont fight, we wont get EXP and maybe suffer in the long run
- we do anything, we will suffer

That is how I see this situation, therefore I think running away with a cellphone to call our sister is the best option. we can EXP elsewhere (at least I hope so).

Fair enough... but yes, some of the most badass girls are still there.

I think our girls are at least willing to fight to protect people. But to kill to protect their secret? That's the damage that I'm beginning to view as a necessary evil at this point. Hopefully our sister and mom would help us through the trauma. After all, the warning never said they can't get better.

The problem is, how we do esplain that we and the others arent hurt and our clothes arent damaged like you pointed out. Our cover is obliterated. Even if we fight we should run. Maybe we can defeat her without killing and then run away. (with a cellphone to call our sister later XD)

you have also shown us that they lack spatial awareness and may get others hurt/killed on accident :p


[] Plan: Seed doubts
-[] Try to talk them down
--[] chide them both for getting your mother hurt. make sure they understand she'd have died, if you hadn't healed her.
--[] tell Brave Heart you won't be coming with her, because you are scared of the military
--[] ask Judge if she is with any group and what her grudge against Brave Heart is.
---[] if she is not with Yggdrasil and depending on her grudge, team up with her. Make it clear you won't kill and won't allow her to kill either.
---[] strike out on your own, if she does not back down on the killing bit.
---[] make sure you do not kill any of them. watch them a bit or test their defenses before using our more destructive spells, if a fight starts.
-[] if negotiations break down or it seems she only stalls for the military to arrive
--[] moon will get our stuff out of the car, while sun stays ready for attacks
--[] moon goes to look for a phone to get in contact with your big sister. use it after you have gotten away to get instructions. (I assume we know her number?)
-[] say good by to mother. you are sure neither of the MGs will hurt her.
-[] was ludger with us? check on our dog

[] EXP Plan: Take This Else Where

thoughts on that plan? I'd especially appreciate some thought on which grudges we'd deem acceptable.

We can have Rico, out of a mix of anger, confusion, and fear, fire off a level 6 Scorching Sunlight at Brave Heart. Considering how the girl is the lowest tier? Unless she has a damage immunifier like Big Sis, we can accidentally kill her.

Oh I am aware. I just think that at minimum base damage with no Resilience reduction that 1280 damage is a lot of damage against a Story Affinity MG.

Edit: Obviously her Resilience and Magic Modifier exists to, but still, 1280 is a high initial hit.

Edit le second: For those wondering why I'm raging, remember, clothes? That one, tiny, little detail? That would have connected us to the Magical Girls back at home? Yeah, that, but more extreme here. We are walking away from a crash without a bit of blood on us. Unlike the two normal humans. Healing we can pass off on Magical Girls. But the lack of blood and clothing damage? Yeah, no.

If both of the magical girls who just appeared die in this encounter, we can just say that the car got caught in a fight between two magical girls, but one of them decided to heal us before they both left.

Our Mom's head is caked in blood. Not quite sure how the driver is. Regardless, while we can say that, say, a pink and blue magical Girls came and healed everyone, that doesn't explain our lack of blood on us.
 
*Drums fingers* ...We'd have to kill at least Brave Heart. And do quickly, because she probably has some form of mundane support en route.

More likely, we'll need to run.

The bluff would fall through anyway as well, we look too much like Bianca, it's not hard to guess who we are from there, and Brave Heart will know it was a bluff as soon as she's back to base.

she also saw us crawling out of the car window.
hiding time is over.
question is, if we want to side with Judge, try to shame them both into deescalating cause they hurt mother, or make a run for it.

[X] Plan Just bugger off.
-[X] Pick mom up and fly away at top speed. Head for the forest or anywhere you can break up their lines of sight. Those two girls would probably be busy with each other.

Busted. Trouble mitigation time.

Healing magic could clean the blood stains.

And I meant not even mentioning the pink and blue ones. I meant saying that one of the other two, who would be too dead (must destroy the corpses) to say otherwise, did it.

Not too out there to say that a magical girl would be a bit nicer to young girls than to other humans, and would thus heal them a bit extra.

We could probably kill her quickly with level 6 Scorching Sunlight. 65% Armor malus is no laughing matter against a 1280 minimum attack.
