I kind of want to ask Mami about her former club activities, if we have some casual conversation time. She left because she didn't have time, but I think the right approach could have her bring up the idea of returning herself. Something like "so you used to be in the archery club?" to start, anyway.
 
[] Find a remote location. Call for Coobs.
-[] Grief disposal. All of Hildegarde's former grief. All but 800 or so marbles in your sling bag. Aurora should be restored to an 'unused' state.

Do we have any questions for coobs right now?
Can we do this in less than 10 minutes? Or are we gonna let Mami panic when she finds we're not waiting for her? Not that I'm opposed to that, it might be good for her mental health in the long term.

I'm pretty sure we can. If not, a quick telepathic reassurance shouldn't be a big deal. It shouldn't take us ten minutes.
 
If we told Kirika to blast us with antimagic every so often, would we periodically remember? We won't be able to use our powers under AM, but we could use a grief seed.
I think that would only work if she was within range of the person maintaining the field.

Eh... not really, it would bring back to the forefront her worry that we will leave her. Healthier to be consistent. That said, yeah telepathy is a thing.

unofficial vote looks like this now.
 
Should we fully reveal magic to Nagisa, if we end up seeing her? We already gave her a heads up about QB. Might not hurt. Just a simple demonstration or something would work if we decide to do so.

We've told her to call us if she sees a talking white cat. Telling her about magic sounds like it would make her want magic. Specially if she realizes she can rez her mom.
 
Can we please stop talking about Asunaro bullshit before I get an Aneurysm?

Do we actually have anything we want to talk with Kyubey about? Or even a general approach? Personally, I would like to adopt an aloof, but not needlessly hostile demeanour when dealing with him, like it is simply a business transaction.

I don't see how it will help, really. She isn't Madoka, she doesn't have that high of a potential that will force her to get involved in the Meguca side of things, and if Kyubey hasn't noticed her by now he probably won't be.

There's no real need to do so.

Archery club would be a really good way to get her mundane social life restarted.
 
Kinematics' got some questions for Kyubey, don't see why we couldn't we ask them now:
Back on the Kyuubey topic, some questions that I would eventually like to ask him:
  • How many of the grief marbles, like the ones I gave you before, are equivalent to the energy you'd gain from 1 grief seed? Is there variance between grief seeds?
  • When you get a grief seed, how much of it is useful to you? Are you using the grief contained in it? And how much of that grief can you extract? All of it? Or only enough to drop it to what would be considered an unused state?
  • Is the process of extracting the grief destructive to the grief seed? If not, do you still have all the grief seeds you've ever collected? Or do you not extract it at all, and use some other method of energy collection?
  • How many grief seeds do you collect per day, worldwide?
  • How many of my marbles are equivalent to the energy you'd gain from one magical girl turning into a witch (not counting the grief seed it would drop later, when killed)? You can give a range that covers typical karmic potentials (95th percentile).
  • On an abstract power scale, and purely from the standpoint of energy extraction (not time efficiency), which (if either) is better: 10 girls with karmic potential 1, or 1 girl with karmic potential 10? How much of a difference is there?
 
Actually, if we want to keep this transaction within ten minutes, it's probably better not to go overboard with questions.

-[] Just treat it like a business transaction. You're not interested in answering any of the furballs questions.

--[] Ask Mami about the archery club she used to attend.
-[] Ask Mami if it's alright to invite everyone to her apartment. Nagisa too.

If we called Kyuubey, we should see whether he can process our supercompressed version of grief. IE: Compress one marble to a tiny grain, and see if he can use that. If so, that makes passing him the rest of the grief rather easy, instead of trying to pour a flood into his back.

We're rather close to the school. It could light up on Mami's witchdar.
 
"No, no, Mami, I'm like, halfway certain I'm not a witch. Put the gun down, Mami."

This bit's redundant. Flip around 'restore Aurora' and 'all but 800...' for clarity/OCD?
--[] Call Momoe Shin if Mami gives the OK. Ask to invite Nagisa over.
Maybe we should specify asking how's Nagisa doing first.

We need some votes for whatever we're going to do. Go to Mami's, have tea & cake, ask if everyone wants to visit the zoo at some point?

We can warn her... But we might have to mention KB for that... Eh...
 
I'd want to keep enough marbles to re-make the glove, plus 800-1000 or so.

Edit: On the issue of my proposed questions, I wouldn't want to go any further than point 4 for right now.

[] Telepathy Mami and Homura. Warn them, you're going to do something with your grief really quick. If their witch senses go off. That's just you.

[] Will all grief you're disposing into two or so grief seed sized orbs. Find out if coobs can accept grief in this state.

Isn't Aurora like Hildegard now? Are we okay filling her part way when we generally aren't with Hildy?
 
And Coobs can't determine that himself?
Edited quote:
"Oh, hey, Kyuubey," you comment. "Think you can do anything with these?" You pull one of the spheres of Grief out of your pocket and hold it up for the alien to inspect. You don't like it, but it seems likely that this is your best shot for getting rid of these.

"Intruiging," the Incubator observes, as Mami looks up with interest. "Place it in the slot on my back," it instructs, turning to present its back to you. A section of its back enclosed by a pink, ovoid marking fades to abyssal black.

The opening closes again, and the marking glimmers for a moment. The Incubator wiggles in place, chasing its tail around in a circle for a moment, before sitting up and looking at you again. "Most intruiguing. This can be processed, however, the density is considerably lower than a Grief Seed."
We had to actually put the marble in his portal and he had to evaluate it before he could tell us whether he could deal with it.
