It's possible that Mami thinks the thing we wanted to talk to her about was telling Madoka & Sayaka the lichbomb.

We'd best disabuse her of that notion tonight, then. Wouldn't be right to lie to her.

Bah, Flying > Roofhopping.

Remember when roofhopping was useful in Sendai because we had to go quiet for once? There will be situations where flying around in full view and pinging everyone's grief senses is going to be a bad idea. A varied skill set can work wonders.
 
Roofhopping:
  • Better control of magic, which we have long neglected in favor of grief use. We likely need a better handle on the magic side of things to progress with the un-witching.
  • Possible relation to enchantment? An enchantment exercise that we can practice at will is certainly useful.
  • Better understanding of how magic affects our own body (which in turn has implications on body creation), with possible connections to how it works in familiars (which we also planned on studying) and witches.
  • Normality. Emphasizes that we're working in a way that Mami is familiar with, rather than emphasizing Sabrina grief power.
  • Time. Gives people time to gather their thoughts independently; physical activity to help burn off nervousness and uncertainty.
  • Familiarity. Homura actually reaching out to join us as friends; Mami (presumably) being willing to resume a bit of normal activity; work with them as equals (particularly Mami), don't force them to be your pet tutors in a cage.
We want everyone showing off for everyone else. Every 'weakness' is something the others can help us with; every idea is something everyone can build on to help everyone improve.

Thanks, but I'm bandwagoning Gadjo (?)'s vote this time around.

Plus honestly asking Mami for help for something we're terrible at seems more sincere/useful for support than playing tactician with powers and weapons...plus enchantment really seems like it should be its own thing. Later. Not now.
 
Are we gonna try to take control of familiars away from the witch?

Some day we need to ask mom how to air-step.

I'd like to learn roofhoping. I hope we can learn roofhpoing. What if we can't? Maybe it's a skill that you either get from the get go or not at all and Sabrina, being SV personified, will never be subtle enough to learn it. :p

Amusing though the thought is, we do know that Mami herself also had to go through a bit of a learning phase on it. Her rooftop showed evidence of poor landings, long weathered.

So far it just seems like observation.

Someday we can methodically, slowly tear a Witch apart from the inside in the name of understanding how they work...but not this Witch, I think. :p

Aw... It would be kind of awkward to tell Mami about secrets while we've got a familiar hanging around, I guess.

Gadjo, roofhopping aside, could you replace this part of your vote
Gadjo said:
-[X] Carefully examine any barrier entrances from the inside and outside.
[X] Take mental notes of the names of the witches we encounter.
[X] Later, review and update notebook within sphere of grief, so as to block Kyubey.
-[X] Do careful examination of some familiars, to get a better idea of how they can act independently of the witch.

I'm not terribly attached to the roofhopping vs flying thing, but I do want to make sure we aren't messing around with barrier science while people might be dying, ala Kristen or Anna.

I had assumed that we would stop screwing around and kill it if the circumstances were pressing, but I see no problem with specifying that. I'll add it.
 
Yeah, that seems like a common sense thing. Sabrina isn't going to stay in science mode if there are people obviously in danger.

Firn isn't going to punish us on things like that.
 
[x] Gadjo

The only thing that I'd kinda want to add is encouraging everyone show off a bit, and asking questions and offering suggestions to each other. Basically, not all 'serious business' among the group; get them to bring out a bit of their inner mad scientist.

...

Dammit, we never did buy that lab coat. Would look great on Mami. Only works for Homura if she's in an actual lab, though.
 
[x] Gadjo

Another advantage of roof hopping is stealth. Everything from wings to a flying grief fortress may be sensed by magical girls.
If we ever are in a situation, where stealth is the preferred course of action, but we still need to move fast, roofhopping is a good skill to have.

[X] Return Irene. Thank Mami for the loan.
[X] Tell her that Homura invited us out hunting tonight, and ask if she's interested.
- [X] If no, begin secrets discussion, if yes, tell Homura we're coming with her to hunt and move out.
[x] Else: Head out on the grief carpet when it's time to meet up with Homura.
[x] While on the hunt:
- [X] Ask Mami how to roofhop properly.
- [X] Ask for advice on how to properly work together as a team using our powers.
- [X] Ask for advice on how their own various weapons and enchantments work, and how we might enchant things.
[x] Once a witch is discovered:
-[x] Assuming no pressing circumstances:
--[X] Carefully examine any barrier entrances from the inside and outside.
--[x] Tell Mami and Homura that you are planning on doing some science, and ask them to try not to stop the witch too quickly.
--[X] Do careful examination of it's familiars, to get a better idea of how they can act independently of the witch.
--[X] Check if the barriers/familiars/witches feel any different if viewed from within timestop.
--[X] See if we can weaken a witch by peeling away all of the grief-substance of its barrier, working from the outside in.
[X] Later, review and update notebook within sphere of grief, so as to block Kyuubey.

Added timestop!Science and the scorched earth tactic for witch fighting.

[jk] make a white labcoat out of grief and wear it while performing any experiments.
