Puella Magi Adfligo Systema

@SynchronizedWritersBlock
Yeah, science is something to be done at some point- though I'd really rather focus on the more grief-seed related parts- but the morning stroll and Kasamino visit aren't really the time.

@moonstne
That'll probably be put off for when we don't need to stay with Mami constantly for her peace of mind.
 
Also want to note that we want to make sure that as much of our time discussing things with people happens while physically present, where possible, rather than just telepathy. The main group is fine; telepathy during the good morning bit is no problem, and we're all meeting together for the walk to school, so it's all good. The quick check-ins with the other groups over telepathy is also OK.

However, we should also make sure we make a regular physical appearance with everyone we know, and not relegate all contact to telepathy. To an extent, we'll already be doing this with the grief seed cleansing. However even with that, we want to be a familiar presence, not just a 'duty' presence. Masami, Sendai, UG, Ishinomaki (including the independent), Kyouko, and further afield, should all feel like our being around is not an unusual thing, or a warning sign of impending craziness.

Favors.

Akiko was really good at favors. Sabrina has not been, thus far. To an extent, we're avoiding obligation, but that's a key element of not only magical girl economics, but of Japanese culture as a whole. We want to actively be doing things for other people beyond the simple grief cleansing schtick. What influence do we have?

Speaking of buying favors.. we need some cash (at the very least, we'll probably be buying Kyouko lunch). Guess ask if Mami can let us have some.

Kyuubey & Therapy

If we want to look into therapy, we need to talk with Kyuubey to ensure no memwipes. Where do we want to set up the first office? Sendai, for all those girls (particularly Akiko)? Or Mitakihara, to start with Mami?

We also need to ask Kyuubey about some of the grief system numbers, still.
 
All right! Crisis averted! (Or at least postponed)

As far as Kyouko is concerned ... if we don't want to insult her with charity, but still want an excuse to keep in contact with her while making sure she's not performing questionable practices, what if we offered to ... *hire* her? We'll "pay" her rather than just give her charity and then we've got a good excuse to keep in contact with her and encourage her to follow "proper magical girl practices".

Familiars are easier to kill than witches, right? We offer her a free cleanse for each she kills or something like that?

Just a rough idea.

I don't agree with checking the notebook, but the rest is structured right.

Honestly, I'd prefer to check it before even going to bed tonight, but figured it would be a bit awkward. Since we tend to get up earlier than Mami, figured that would be a decent time to deal with it.

We've already let a few people die (definitely at Gertrud; possibly at the chicken witch) because we're not even trying to account for such things; I really hate to continue to be willfully ignorant.

We should experiment with sensory-blocking effects with grief, including selective antimagic, before checking the book. If we can make a grief sphere that "blocks observation", for example, that would be perfect.

This does seem reasonable, though doing something that causes a witch effect before Mami wakes up is probably worse than awkward. Would like to get it done as early as possible, but leaving it til we're free of immediate presences is probably OK too.

There's a time and a place for science though...and is the morning walk with Mami really it? I mean the science in and of itself is fine and perfectly interesting...this just isn't really the time.

The 'science' in this case is not new science; we already know that the gauntlet boosts our magic powers. I just wanted to make use of that to get as wide a coverage of the scan for potential magical girls as possible. If we're going to do the scan anyway, might as well get an answer for the range value.

Also, not doing it while directly with Mami and the group. It would be "while in the nearby woods" thing, like before with Kyuubey, after they've already entered the school grounds.
 
Compromise. Try it right after we do our scan, which should be made clear should be after we've parted with Mami. It should not take more than twenty minutes to figure out if we can make an observation-blocking sphere on a rooftop somewhere, which is also time in which we can telepathy multitask.

Are you referring to pre-contract potentials? Or just untransformed meguca?

Why?

Because doing grief science while walking/right after parting ways with Mami in the middle of a populated park really isn't the time or place and we have other priorities. Same goes for the notebook. It's better done later once we get the actually relevant things out of the way.

For megucadar, our regular griefsense works just fine.

Revised version:
[x] Next morning
[x] Check the news
[x] Good mornings for everyone in Mitakihara (Oriko and Kirika handled separately from the group chat)
[x] Walk to school with Mami
-[x] Let Mami know that you are going to be going around talking with several people today, including Kyouko and perhaps Masami
-[x] Ask if we can borrow some money, as well. (If Mami doesn't have any money on her, bum some from Homura.)
[x] After parting with the group at the school entrance, find a nearby isolated patch (rooftop or woods or whatever).
-[x] Warn Mami and Homura you're about to do something with a witch effect
-[x] Use Infinity Gauntlet to boost magical sensing range. Also get estimate on what new max range appears to be.
-[x] Do a scan for unexpected magical girls at the school, and any witches in the area
-[x] If any magical girls are detected, let Mami and Homura know so that they can check during school hours
-[x] If any witches are detected, let Mami and Homura know that you'll take care of it
-[x] Attempt to make a grief sphere that "blocks observation".
--[x] If successful, consult the notebook for any witches that appear today or tomorrow.
[x] While doing the magic scans and science stuff, make some telepathic calls.
-[x] Call Rin and check how things are going with the group and with Akiko. "Say hi to Sakura for me."
-[x] Call Chouko and check how things are going for them.
-[x] Call Kyouko and ask for a time that's convenient to meet today. It was about time to handle some cleansing, and there were some things you wanted to talk with her about.
--[x] If she's reluctant, insist that you really do need to talk with her today. Note that you can be there in as little as 5 minutes.

These votes are always about 50% taller on the forums than in my text editor...
 
[x] Kinematics

It's a long vote, but a lot of the stuff takes little time or happens simultaneously.
I think it has the most important things covered.
 
The science is unhelpful and this is not the time or place for random dabbling...especially after we traumatized Mami with it yesterday. That part is NOPE and there is no good reason to randomly bring out the notebook right now.
