Let's not add another secret to the "pile of shit we're hiding from Mami". As long as we emphasize that we'll be able to get her to accept our help, I think it'll be okay. It's not the most pleasant of news, but we shouldn't be treating every piece of (only somewhat) bad news like it's the witchbomb.
What secret? It's a problem we already solved, not an ongoing thing we are actively hiding from her. I see no purpose in making her worry by telling her about how poorly Kyouko is doing right to her face. If there's an actual purpose to telling her how poorly Kyouko's doing in Kasamino, then sure, go right ahead, but not if the only reason for doing so is so we can say that we are being truthful with Mami.
 
Explain what possible purpose could telling her that Kyouko's on her last legs and probably wouldn't have lasted long without our help could possibly serve during a fucking lunch break designed to make Mami feel better?

Enough with the attitude.

Part of being as honest and genuine with Mami as we can be is to actually 'be' honest and genuine and stop running everything through the happy filter.

Kyouko has problems. It does us less good to hide those problems only for Mami to find out about it later.

There's really no reason to keep sugarcoating everything for Mami. We don't want to coddle her forever, and she can take some (honestly not too) bad news once in awhile.
 
[x] "Kyouko seems like she's having a hard time taking care of herself and Yuma, she had no seeds left and her gem wasn't clear, so I gave her a seed and offered cleanses. Then I beat her in a spar (well, technically it was a draw, but I could've beaten her) and she said we aren't friends and that she isn't being tsundere, which is a huge step up from last time. Overall I'm calling it a success."
[x] "Also, I asked her to send over any girls she kicks out of her territory, so...that might be happening? Sorry about not asking first, it was kind of spur of the moment."
 
You reckon? I mean it's fairly in character and it is definitely true, we really don't want someone going off to witch out under a bridge. That it'll make Mami go all maternal is just a nice bonus.
Yeah, it's not like she doesn't already know that we're like that. It feels manipulative. Save it for Homu if she objects.

"At times, pinky rings have been worn with the intent to convey a message or indicate affiliation. During the Victorian era, both single men and women uninterested in pursuing marriage could wear a ring on the little finger of their left hand.[...]Especially in the United States, pinky rings also developed an association with criminal activity.[9] Grifters were thought to wear such rings, sometimes to provide their associates with a source of funding for their funeral expenses in case of their death,[10] as were made men in theAmerican Mafia.[11]"​

That's it! She thinks we're a made woman, here to marry into the Yakuza! It's all coming together!
I wonder if we've been making Momura feel uncomfortable. Or if she's been laughing at our backs for a while now.

We just tell it how it is. We don't need to overemphasize the bad, but we shouldn't hide it either.
That's not quite what the current vote has us doing, which seems to be going out of it's way to emphasize exactly how much of a hole Kyouko dug herself in. Maybe try something like this instead?

[x] "Kyouko had a grief seed problem. She didn't have any seeds on her, and was still taking care of Yuma, so I gave her a seed and offered cleanses. We had a fun spar and she said we aren't friends and that she isn't being tsundere, which is a huge step up from last time. Overall I'm calling it a success."

-[x] Telepathy Homura and Mami "I've been thinking that there might be a few girls coming here looking for me, after word about what happened in Sendai gets around. Just keep an eye out for new magical girls in the city, okay?."

Doesn't "held in abeyance" mean that it'll happen assuming we don't contradict it with the current vote?

Sounds good to me. Problem's kind of already solved, so details aren't necessary.

Probably should change "Inform Mami and Homura about the possibility of megucas" to "Inform Homura about the possibility of megucas"?
 
[] Ugolino.
We should tell her what's going on. There is no need to obfuscate or sugarcoat the truth about someone who was once her closest friend.
*actually reads gerbil's vote*
Oh, yeah that looks alright.

I assumed it meant it wasn't used because the actions couldn't be taken yet as written.

Now that I think about it, we need a bit more detail than "Inform Mami and Homura about the possibility of megucas" if we want to get through lunch without an interrupt.

We'll say "oh yeah some meguca might be stopping by in town because of things I did" and Homura will have a minor freak out because oh my god unknown magical girls threat threat threat panic! and start pressing about whether they're a threat to Madoka and then we'll have to have another vote.

Might as well pre-empt it.
 
Just a thought, but could we bother Oriko to look up when's Akiko gonna snap out of her catatonia, if ever?
 
What exactly do we think Mami thinks happens when a soul gem "runs out of magic"?

Because at some point, the best and worst answer to Homura freaking out about it is "What am I supposed to do, just let them turn into witches die ________?"

After we broke the lichbomb on her? Presumably, she thinks they just die. She has no real reason to think otherwise right now.

Even if she doesn't, making the claim that they just die if the soul gem fills up completely works for most purposes. It's not that far from the truth anyway.
 
Hmm, maybe just roll with "die" and deal with the consequences if Mami goes all what-do-you-mean-they-die on us.

Anyway, it's not like there wasn't a chance they'd die directly in a fight with Kyoko anyway.
