When did we hand Sendai's soul gems back?
When we woke them back up. Tamiko's gem went first to Sakura, and then Tamiko took over handling Yumi's gem to wake her up.

You remove Tamiko's Soul Gem from your pocket, a small, domed orange disc, and hand it to Sakura. She grimaces as she accepts it, and moves to kneel by Tamiko's side before pressing it into the girl's hand.
Again, you pass the Soul Gem to Sakura, but Tamiko rather firmly takes it from the teleporter's hands, before moving to wake Yumi up herself.

Thanks, fixing the vote then.

[]Please do.
[]This way'll be better for everyone in the long run. We promise.
[]We're hanging onto Akiko for now until we can talk to her. We want to try and find out what's wrong with her, and help her if we can.
[]We're going to wake Fukushima, and talk to them, ask them about how many seeds they have back home.
-[]Did they say anything about that to you? Anything about them you can tell us?
[]Start with Moe. Keep her restrained with Kirika's help. Ask Sendai and Mami to help keep her calm.
-[]Her friends are okay. We don't want to hurt her. The war's over. They lost, and hurt a lot of people doing it.
[]Before we let you go, tell me about your group. Why did you take Akiko's offer?

As GendoKyubey pointed out, the last question doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe ask if they would go for our offer on the condition that they stop their mercenary business. We don't want to fuel conflict, after all.
 
What? Are you kidding me? This scenario is a cakewalk compared to the clusterfuck that is Asunaro.

Also, no, her wish was to specifically manipulate connections. There's nothing that indicates that the connections that she is limited to manipulating are the Pleiades, and she has one of the few powersets that we can't defeat outright. Worse still, her powerset also counters that of our trumpcards. I know we have a habit off assuming that we are invincible when we go all out, and that is mostly true for most megucas, but this does not apply to Kanna. If we aren't careful with how we approach this she will wreck our faces and eat us for breakfast.

Sorry for responding to this after it dropped. Sleep cycles.

Re:Asurano's difficulty; When I say it's 'easier', I say this because, well, we know what they want. Assuming Firn keeps their basic motives the same, we can metagame them. Ditto their powersets. Really the only reason this war proved difficult at all was lack of information. Atleast, if not the only reason, then one of the biggest ones. The powersets, if they exist as we expect them to, do have problems though, but I fully expect we can handle them.

So, reviewing everything Hijiri-related, you're right. Sorry about that. So worst case scenario she can copy our Grief powers. But I still think we can Sabrinaplomacy her because we were also (probably) created by a Wish. And like, Kazumi diplomacy'd her pretty goddamn easily once she kicked her ass.

If we have to, timestop and break some gems. You can't copy shit if you're frozen in time, bitch.

Other interesting things about the Pleiades and company: If we can save Niko Kanna and have her diplomacy Hijiri herself, things might go better. They never really talk at any point and Hijiri's crazy stems from her perception that she was created to play house and be a doll, but this could possibly be addressed by learning Niko's true intentions.

I mean it's not a guarantee but I'd like to save Niko anyway because she's one of the few Pleiades who doesn't go apeshit and start fragging her teammates.

Other interesting ideas: If we befriend Umika and can actually fucking trust her (or have Hijiri do it if she becomes Limpet #2), could she fix our lost memories, if we indeed have amnesia? If it doesn't work, then Wish Construct basically confirm.

Kazumi is bestgirl and must be added to our group at all costs.

Seriously Ayase what's your deal and what did you wish for and shit? What's going oooon?

If we befriend the Pleiades and effectively remove their Grief Limits, the sky's the limit. Like one of them can create and reconstruct things FMA Alchemy style and another can perfectly control body functions to the point of growing embryos to fully grown bodies in a matter of days, tops. And Teddy Bear Girl's teddyzilla monstrosity kept doing stuff after she died, implying she made an actual lifeform that could outlast her.

Like goddamn they're crazy but I legitimately think they're worth the headache.

I also want to mass-produce Jyubey and completely supplant and replace Kyubey with a benevolent counterpart but that's a pipe dream.

They're all crazy...but we have much better people to help and better things to do than untangle that particular can of worms right now. Plus a lot of the stuff there's simply bizarre by PMMM standards and doesn't mesh with canon, so we have no idea what the actual situation there is and what to expect.
 
How about we look back at it in a week, when we're twice as old and experienced, and decide then?
 
I get the sense that if we don't go to Asunaro... Asunaro will come to us. Word is going to get out about the magical girl that can cleanse soul gems afterall.
 
Though if they do, Mami is liable to be exposed to some things which may not be good for her mental health. Russian-videogame song things.
 
Yea, hell no Asurano does not bring the fight here are you guys stupid?

This is exactly why we should address them sooner instead of putting it off. Sabrina isn't going to stay Mitakihara's Best Kept Secret anymore, and I'd rather have the Pleiades sane and on our side for when basically everyone in Japan (the world?) gets interested in us.
 
I don't think that's going to be the case given that the whole city's bottled up if the cast's still alive, and been gutted by its meguca's own stupidity if they aren't. In either case, we have better things to do than go poke the City Where Everything is Terrible right now- like fixing the problems at home once we're finished here.
 
I have no problem with going to Asunaro. I don't like it, but we should go if for no other reason than curiosity's sake. We should not, however, go right now. We got shit to do first.
 
Grief Science, Mumi Therapy, getting Bestgirl on our side, preventing Mado and Saya contracts, prepping for WPN, there's lots of things we need to do we've been ignoring thus far. We'll go to Asunaro later, 'k?
 
This reminds me. We've been talking on and off about creating familiars, but have we ever tried stealing familiars from other witches? We usually disolve them, as I recall.
[q]Stuff the familiar's grief into an empty Grief Seed
[q]Throw grief seed at next witch
[q]I choose you!

The only reason I could see us doing that is to get a better look at familiars and see if maybe we can do something productive with that information.
