Tentative vote, based on what you've all been saying. Suggestions welcome. Might need to trim it down a bit.

[x] Call Kirika and Oriko, ask to come over, offer to get groceries.
[x] Text Nagisa's uncle asking if it would be okay for her to come round today around 5.
[x] Practice 20 minutes roof-running on the way to the store and the way to Oriko's house, then fly the rest of the way. You've done these impossible mid-air momentum changes in battle without thinking, you know you can do it, try to tap into those instincts.
-[x] If they want groceries, get some groceries, and cake, and some ceylon black tea. If they don't, just the tea, it's a gift.
--[x] If short on funds, instead have Oriko write a list that we'll get later.
-[x] Ask her if Akiko is likely to recover ever without intervention.
-[x] Mention possibility of raid on gem collecter girl in the future to make her stop and possibly save her captives.
-[x] Ask Oriko if she can predict lottery numbers or something similar, caring for those captives is likely to be expensive.
-[x] Enlist her and Kirika's help to spot us while we science in an appropriate place. Kirika can antimagic pulse if things go wrong, Oriko can tell us if things are likely to go wrong.
--[x] If groceries not already acquired, pick them up on the way; Oriko can pay.
--[x] Pump healing magic into a clear seed. Try to focus on healing the girl within, pay very close attention to any small changes to the seed or if anything materialises nearby.
--[x] Try to make a witches barrier. Focus on the feeling you got when you studied them before.

Edited to change if akiko will "wake up" to "recover".

[] ping Oriko and Kirkira and ask if they need anything while we head over.

[] Commence SCIENCE, ASSISTANT EDITION with the new buddies. Their job is to help us brainstorm about our approach to our experiments, and remind us if we're doing something stupid. Move to appropriate room of house. Talk to them while you're working.
[jk] Labcoats and goggles for everyone!

[] Science tests (add specifics as necessary)
-Barrier reproduction
-subconscious grief responses and manipulation
-Seed Healing if it's appropriate.

The best of both worlds! The chance to hang out with best buddy and buckets, and include them in the problem solving process, and the opportunity to expand our science experimentation. What's not to like?
I mostly like this:

[] ping Oriko and Kirkira and ask if they need anything while we head over.
-[] Fetch groceries etc. as necessary
[] Practice roofhopping on the way

There are other experiments I want to do, but I'm willing to go with the order others think is appropriate.

(Also, don't joke about lab safety equipment and the importance and stylishness thereof)

EDIT: Ooh! I like some of that better:

-[x] Ask her if Akiko is likely to recover ever without intervention.
-[x] Explain that there's a magical girl who goes around collecting soul gems, mention possibility of raid on gem collecter girl in the future to make her stop and possibly save her captives.
-[x] Talk about eventual possibility of the Meguca Hotel being a thing. Now that Sabrina's here, there's no more reason girls have to fight than normal people. We can break the system.
--[x] Oriko does want to help people, it's just her methods were wrong. Explain we're offering better methods.
--[x] Oriko cares about her legacy, what better legacy than making life better for all magical girls?
-[x] Enlist her and Kirika's help to spot us while we science. Kirika can antimagic pulse if things go wrong, Oriko can tell us if things are likely to go wrong.
--[x] Pump healing magic into a clear seed. Try to focus on healing the girl within, pay very close attention to any small changes to the seed or if anything materialises nearby.

In this case grief labcoats could actually be dangerous. If we get mental feedback again they could crush the girls.
 
-[ ] Ask her if Akiko is likely to wake up ever without intervention.
I think she technically is awake, though definitely still in a bad state.
"Good morning! No, just checking in. How's things going, how's Akiko?" you ask.

"Acceptably," Rin says cautiously. "Akiko is... not well."

"Ah," you say as you squint up at the top of the school building. "Do you... need my help to cleanse her?"

A pause. "No need, but thank you. She's just... she's not responding to much. We have to feed her, or else she doesn't eat."

You wince. "... ah."
 
I was referring to this bit, but it seems I remembered it wrong:

We went hunting, but since we had our encounter with the familiar, there wasn't really any talking going on.
It was more that we wanted to talk with her and not the other way round. If there's no need aynmore, we can shelf it.
Why did we want to talk about anyway? I think it was just generally asking about her health?

I figure this talk that didn't happen is why she's been throwing glances at us.
 
If Oriko's got money... We could let them out for a bit of grocery shopping... Supervised, of course.

Else we could just get a list for next time. If we do the grocery shopping ourselves without asking, we're likely to bring them a lot of useless stuff.
 
What's the current date and time in-quest again? I've lost track.

I figure if they want particular stuff they'll ask for particular stuff
 
Don't see the point in lecturing Oriko on methods and goals. She literally apologized to us for the same thing yesterday. Wouldn't do it even if she hadn't.

We also need to make arrangements for Nagisa's visit now or it won't happen.
 
So, ideas about Nagisa's visit?

Just tea and cakes like last time? Take her somewhere like the mall or for ice cream or something?

Oh, and we still need to call about it don't we?

The idea is to use those methods and goals to get her motivated, not to harangue her about them. Ya'know, get her to believe in a grand ideal that coincidentally requires Sabrinas continued existence to fulfil. Proper allies of ideals instead of allies of convenience.

Her dad's at work right now isn't he? And she's at school. I figured it would be rude to call/we'd not get through.
 
With the progress we achieved in just a week, walpurgis should serve as a much lesser threat than it should be.
The way things are going, I think the Walpurgis fight is going to be an army of meguca with unlimited mana stomping a witch to the tune of Yackety Sax. Ignoring the likelihood of Mysterious Feathers fucking things up.
Guys this is exactly why I wanted to rob a bank :D
Or game the stock market
And Sayaka contracts, wishing for the power to strike us down for our crimes! Bad End. :p
 
What's the current date and time in-quest again? I've lost track.
It's tuesday, after lunchtime (~12:30?).
Going by this:
The current date is spring, 2011, so it's anywhere between March to May. The Earthquake itself happened on 11 March, 2011.
Each loop is 6 weeks: March 16 to April 30.
And checking a calendar, March 16 was a wednesday, while Sabrina's 'birth' was on a monday. So, the earliest possible date for today is March 29.
Also, going by this mostly canon omake:
This time, there's someone new. New is different, and different is dangerous.

She got to Madoka first.
We got to Madoka first, so I guess we entered PMMM-verse early in the loop, maybe?
