[x] Let her know.
[x] Then deal with it yourself.
-[X] Unleash the CLAWS!!!

"Threat, Yellow girl Mami!" you shout as you pounce at the bubbles, claws extended.
A head rises out of the water before you slice it to ribbons.
You try and catch some, but it just falls back into the endless water.

Ears flat against your head, you pout. How do you deal with this?

[] Help Yellow girl Mami kill the fish!
[] Brilliant plan. Drink the water.

[x] Help Yellow girl Mami kill the fish!
With a grin, you pounce on the fish as it breaches again, scoring long claw marks on its flank as Mami riddles it with holes from her thunder-sticks.
Slicing off its fins, it thrashes on the water's surface, unable to dive.

"Get clear, Homura-san!" Mami shouts as she summons a huge thunder-stick.
You leap away, covering your ears.

"Tiro Finale!" she shouts, and you yowl at the deafening boom.
The water peels away like steam, and you find yourself in an empty room. There's a drained, abandoned pool nearby.

"Well, that went well," Mami smiles. You can barely hear her. Your ears are ringing.

[] Where prey?
[] Ring. Riiiing. Boom-stick, yellow girl, boomstick make ear ring.
[] Write-in...

[X] Mewl pathetically on the floor. Clutch your ears. Make the ringing go away.
-[X] Ring. Riiiing. Boom-stick, yellow girl, boomstick make ear ring.
You curl up on the floor, mewling pathetically as you clutch your ears. The ringing, it won't stoooop...

"Homura-san?" you hear Mami's voice dulled through the ringing.

"Ring. Riiiing... Boom-stick, Yellow girl, Boomstick make ears ring..." you whine in pain.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Mami kneels next to you, covering your ears with her hand.
It feels warm.

"There," she smiles, "Feel better?"
You pause. Yes, you do. Ringing gone.

[] Write in...
 
61
[X] Yes, ringing gone.
"Yes, ringing gone," you nod, looking around, "..."

-[X] Fish also gone.
-[X] Why is the prey gone?
"Fish also gone," you comment, looking at Mami, "Why is prey gone?"

"Oh, the Witch turned into this," she shows you a little black shiny thing, "This is what we get from hunting."

You take it, looking at it closely.

[] Lick it.
[] Eat it.
[] Give it back to Yellow Girl Mami.
[] Hold onto it. Gift for Pink Girl.
 
62
[X] Continue examination.
[X] This doesn't look like prey. How will Pink Girl Madoka know what it is if I give it to her?
"..." It's shiny and black. Smooth. Silver spiky thing.

"This doesn't look like prey," you whine, "How will Pink Girl Madoka know what it is if I give it to her?"

"Oh, this isn't for her," Mami smiles, "This is for you!"

"..." you tear up a bit, "I wanted to hunt for Pink Girl..."

"No, see, you were using magic, and you use this to replenish magic..." Mami purses her lips, then is struck with inspiration, "Ah, yes, it helps you keep being Best Cat!"

You perk up cheerfully, "It helps me be Best Cat?"

"Yes," Mami nods, "Just hold it up to your Soul Gem."

"...Soul... Gem.... Gem made of Soul? What is Soul? What is Gem? Is it shiny?" you ramble, looking around.

"Oh, it's here," Mami points to the back of your hand, "And it's around your neck when you're a kitten. And the name isn't literal."

"Oh..." you hold up the shiny prey to your Soul Gem, and your Soul Gem gets shinier.

63 - Best Cat Shiny Rock/Hunting for a Gift
[X] It isn't? Then why do we call it that? Wouldn't Best Cat Rock be better?
"It isn't?" you tilt your head in confusion, "Then why do we call it that? Wouldn't... 'Best Cat Rock' by better?"

"Er, that's not-" Mami attempts to reply before you cut her off.

"Oh, oh! I know, 'Best Cat Shiny Rock'!" you suggest excitedly.

[X] Beam with pride, because the Best Cat just got better.
You beam with unbridled pride. Your names are the best. Best Cat is the best, and you just got best-er!

Yellow girl Mami sighs and hangs her head. That must mean she has submitted to your greatness!

[X] Submit to temptation: play with Mami's hair drills.
You cannot resist anymore. You must do it.
You reach out, hand trembling, and...
bat Mami's hair drills.

"Nya," you bat the one to your left, "Nya," you bat the one to your right.

"..." Mami sighs again.

[X] Ask Mami if she wants to go hunt real prey. She's got that boomstick, we have claws. We can definitely catch something tasty!
"Yellow Girl Mami," you ask as you play with her right drill, "Want to go hunt some real prey? You have boomstick, we have claws. We can catch something tasty for sure!"

"I'll pass," Mami declines politely, "I have something tastier than... prey."

[X] Hunt gift for Pink Girl Madoka.
This something tastier sounds important, but...

"I have to go hunt a gift for Pink Girl Madoka!" you exclaim, "I'm so happy that she's alive again!"

"Wait," Mami interjects, "I don't think she wants prey... why don't we hunt something different for her?"

"...What would we hunt besides prey?" you are confused.

"Um, we'd hunt..." Mami thinks for a minute, then snaps her fingers in revelation, "We'll hunt for..."

(Mami's response)
[] "...clothes, Homura-san! Girls like clothing!"
[] "...jewelery! Shiny things!"
[] "...A pet!"
[] "...Stuffed animals! Does Kaname-san like stuffed animals?"
[] "...the dessicated bodies of Yakuza criminals! I kill them all the time, about time I started dumping them on somebody, my closet is starting to smell!"
[] Write-in...

[x] ...Stuffed animals! Does Kaname-san like stuffed animals?
"...Stuffed animals!" Mami finally finishes, "Does Kaname-san like stuffed animals?"

"... why stuffed? Were they empty? Why empty?" you tilt your head in confusion.

"...They're fake," Mami supplies a bit impatiently.

"...I do not know," you shrug.

"Well, you should give it a shot!" Mami soldiers on, "Come on, let's hunt a stuffed animal for Kaname-san!"

Yellow girl Mami drags you around the city, to a large place with many people.
Some people stare at you, mostly curiously.
She points out a few places.

"Alright, Homura-san, where do you want to go?" she asks.

"..."

[] "Build-a-Bear?"
[] "Fluff Heaven?"
[] "Little Friend Emporium?"
[] Write in...

[X] Build-a-Bear?
"Build-a-Bear?" you point at one of the indicated shops, "What is a bear and why would you want to build one?"

"Just come in, Homura-san!" Mami cheerfully drags you inside and MOTHER OF NEKO-KAMI
FURS EVERYWHERE
THAT'S A CAT FUR. ITS EYES ARE DEAD
EVERYTHING HERE IS DEAD
OH GOD, YOU WERE TRICKED
YELLOW GIRL MAMI BROUGHT YOU HERE TO DIE

[] Calm down, realize that these are fake. They don't smell like real animals, after all. (Voters roll dice. QM will average. Must be under 70 by end average.)
[] Freak out.
 
66
[x] Calm down, realize that these are fake. They don't smell like real animals, after all. (Voters roll dice. QM will average. Must be under 70 by end average.)
You briefly panic, tensing up, before sniffing the air.
... They don't smell dead.
Getting close to one, you realize that it isn't real fur.

"Homura-san, is something the matter?" Mami asks, concerned.

"...No, nothing wrong," you poke a fake cat skin, "Fake."

"Yes, they're fake," Mami nods, "Did you think they were real?"

You shake your head, "No, I am Best Cat, I knew all along!"

Now, which one do you want to give to Pink girl Madoka?

[] White rabbit.
[] Grey cat.
[] Whale.
[] Bear.
[] Dog.
 
67
[X] Seal
You pick up a really fluffy, really white fake fur.

"Fluffy," you mumble, stroking it.
After a minute of trauma in which Mami helps you stuff the fake fur (you're so glad it's fake) you now have a cute white fluffy blob with small black eyes, whiskers, a tail, and a pink bow you tied around it for Pink girl Madoka.

"Alright, Homura-san," Yellow girl Mami smiles at you, "Aren't you hungry?"
