That looks a lot like something we're doing after promising to get back to her and hanging up.
It is, but honestly, there really isn't a rush to give her a reply here. We've checked with her, she's cleansed and seems fairly calm, and we can tell her if her idea of right after school'd work after seeing what the others want to or even later in the day.

There really isn't a need to bother everyone first thing in the morning about >are you okay with this yes or not give me an answer.
 
What are we gonna do with Ono? Meet her somewhere of her chosing, to see what she chooses? Go hunt a Witch and try leave something for her?
 
Meet her in a setting that isn't time stop, try to get to know her, have Mami introduce her properly to magic.


I don't see the point of stalling on this. Let's just tell her that we want to meet after school's out, assume 3 PM like ours, like we originally planned. Ask for a location of her choice and if she throws the choice back at us ask Mami for a meeting place that's casually public enough but allows private chats.
 
Why not heal Kyosuke first if Sayaka and the others want to go for that? There really isn't a rush for Ono after this update as long as we meet her sometime today.

We agreed to after school. It's rude to push back a meeting you agreed to first (one that's more important and urgent) over a friends request that came second and is less urgent.

Our priorities haven't changed. Megane needs a more proper orientation.

I could reverse that sentence for the opposite argument without changing the facts.



But this is what I mean:

"Would just after school be acceptable?" Megane replies.

This is her suggesting she wants to meet just after school. In the same polite, formal tones she's used for the entire conversation, which has revolved around deferring to us even when not necessary (just like offering back the seed). Just because she's left the door open for rejecting that suggestion doesn't mean we should. Given the tone used, it's conversationally expected that we accept.

People actually talk this way. A blunter person would say "we'll meet just after school", and just as we could reply "no, I have to check my schedule", I don't think it's necessarily a good idea. Not a disastrous one, but a minor faux pas.
 
And this is why I don't think it's a good idea.

1. We'd be unfairly imposing on Megane's time and delaying her orientation over a friend's request over a non-urgent matter.
2. We'd be introducing her to our circle of friends over a private matter when we don't have the best grasp of her personality and have no real reference to how she'd likely interact with the group, assuming she would interact.
-2a. Megane may have her own trauma buttons Sabrina or the group could accidentally press. We don't know yet.
3. Unknown magical girl in close proximity to Madoka. While I doubt anything would happen, Homura isn't likely to be happy with the idea.
4. We'd be teaching an almost certainly weak magical girl an expensive healing technique and another way to burn through her magic quickly when she only has the barest context of why preserving her magic is essential to her survival.
 
I think we have time for 1 more item for SCIENCE if we are willing to cut it somewhat short, like 30-45 minutes (barrier creation would be personal pick). It's not like we need 100% time dedication to immediate goals.

Other than that, Ugo's vote looks good so far. And it's not that big enough of a deal for me to split a vote over.

[x] Yes that's acceptable.
-[x] Ask for a location to meet.
[x] "Also as you were a solo magical girl, there's a trick I'm not sure you know. Can you pull the phone away from you for a few seconds?"
-[x] Telepathy. We can talk to each other this way too.
--[x] Assuming Megane didn't know, give the basics of how it works.
[x] Ask and remind Megane to hold onto that grief seed. You can refresh it when you meet her after school.
[x] Does Megane have any questions?
[x] End telepathy with Megane.
[x] Talk to your friends.
-[x] Telepathy Mami. Let Mami know about the schedule conflict and as it's important, you agreed to meet with Miss Ono first. See what she wants to do. Ask how long she expects Ono's orientation to take.

[x] Say goodbye to Mami and everyone, and take off for the warehouse.
-[x] Keep an eye out with your senses on your way. Cautiously but quickly stomp a Witch if you find one. Nothing fancy, just grief rend it to death.

[x] Check up on the Sendai Group and the UG (one at a time). Ask when would be a good time to begin your cleansing arrangement.
-[x] Don't commit to anything just yet. You still need to discuss this with Mami.

[x] Warehouse-kun, SCIENCE, and possible de-witching?

I was going to say that 5 seems like we're leaving a long time for meeting Ono, but then I realized I'm not sure what meeting Ono entails or how long it should take.
 
Mmm... I'm thinking, if we find a Witch, shouldn't we leave it alone so we could take Ono later on a witch hunt? Of course, the Witch might move away so that's a bad idea, but then I think: Do we want Ono to hunt Witches at all? We could just keep cleansing her so she doesn't need to fight. I don't think she'd like that, relying on us that much, but still.

On the Homura side of things, she already doesn't see Ono as helping for WP, so I don't expect objections there.
 
@Torgamous

It was us that called for the meeting. Not Mami. Mami may have a general idea of what we want to cover but not the details.


Personally, I see a more thorough introduction, a basic assessment of each of our powers, perhaps some practice and/or maybe a witch hunt. That's going to take some time.

I thought even 5pm was dicey.
 
We could try to get Ono to help with healing Kwijibo after the meeting. :V

"Hey, Kwi-Kyousuke! We brought another cute girl to help heal your hand!"
