I guess this is the opposite of when she was being respectful. Seemingly, kids in Japan are taught to llok below their teachers' eyes.

I remeber something about never looking the Emperor in the eyes, and only looking at his robes or collar. Not sure from where.
IIRC thats how you do respectfull/submissive in Japan.

I bet it bothers her that we always look her in the eye.
That gets a response. "I'm sure you are," Megane says, eyes refocusing on you. "That's why you simply dropped me, right?"
I wonder if she's looking at our eyes, or under?
 
frankly there are any number of girls that were in Sendai that would have a reason to steer people away from us.

Most of the Sendai group aside from Rin probably does consider us too meddling and are probably a bit sore for somehow sending their strongest megurca and 'best' leader into a catatonic state. Setsuko probably finds how everything ending in our favor rather suspicious since she never even seen the fight.

Fukushima group would be a toss-up depending on how they take our words. If they consider our chewing out either hypocritical or wrong, then they would be bitter about how we beat them all. and even if they do agree with us, they probably still don't think our actions were all that altruistic.

Ishainomkai group is probably alright with us by now.

University Group would be suspiciously nice about us. especially when compared to how anyone else feels about what happened in Sendai

And North Toyko is probably scared shitless about Mitikhara all Intel about us must be straight up terrifying to hear about. their advice to any newbies about us is probably "don't, just don't. whatever your planning about them just let it go and run the other direction."
 
[X] You hadn't wanted or intended for things to go that way over there at all. But considering the alternative was allowing a war to escalate that would have killed at least a dozen magical girls and who knows how many more civilians...
[X] How did you find out about that? Can you tell me what exactly you heard about the Sendai and Ishinomaki conflict?
[X] Listen to what Megane has to say. Don't interupt.
[X] Ask her if she will listen and not attack again if let down. Leave it to Mami.
-[X] If she does get let down, prepare to grief bind if she attacks again.
[x] Offer to cleanse Homura. We've been in timestop for awhile.

[X] Talk about the Sendai and Ishinomaki conflict.
-[X] You had heard about fighting going on in both Sendai and Ishinomaki. At first, it seemed like a battle over territory.
--[x] Tell her about the scale of the conflict and how other cities and groups were getting dragged into it. The sheer numbers of magical girls involved would have resulted in many of their deaths and who knew how many innocent people.
-[X] Several girls you knew were already getting attacked, so you decided to over there and try and end the conflict peacefully before it escalated further, perhaps by offering free grief cleansing services. Mitakihara also would have gotten dragged in regardless, since some girls from there knew of you.
[X] Except it turned out that the Sendai group had been extorting the University group of their grief seeds. Tell Megane about the effect it had on the UG including about how one of their members had already died and another left because of it.
-[X] Not to mention that Sendai's leader, Akiko, wanted the entire Ishinomaki group dead.

[x] Sendai? So you heard about that mess. Or a version of it. I certainly did make mistakes down there but overall I'd like to think I helped change things for the better.

Idea for a rough draft of a vote.

[] If by 'toed the line' you mean 'agreed to end the war that would have killed at least a dozen magical girls and god knows how many more civilians'... then, yes. Yes, I did. The University Girls would have died before going back to letting Akiko extort them of grief seeds, and Akiko has some sort of complex about having a stock of grief seeds that would have kept her from backing down.
-[] Why, what would you have done in my place? Let them kill each other over territory and grudges?
-[] If she asks what we mean by extortion/dead civilians/dead magic girls, explain the basic situation prior to our arrival and involvement. If she doesn't believe us, offer to put her in contact with members of the University group and Rin.

Basic idea is that if she only knows a partial or distorted version of the truth then the first bit should hopefully make her question what she's heard (or at least consider that she doesn't know the full story), and the 'what would you have done?' bit is a roundabout way of pointing out we didn't exactly have any other options other than putting our foot down. Very much a first draft/idea than a finalised vote, though, and I'm not sure if it's pushing too hard/trying too much to cast us in a good light.
 
Hmm, that's something to bring up. If/When talking about what happened in Sendai, make sure to go into how Akiko's wish did bad things to her head; might help to get Ono to chill out a bit on the power usage.

Edit: And I'm 99.999~% sure it's the bunnycat. Ono's had all of a day, the odds of her bumping into one of the girls involved, let alone someone with a motive to cast negative light on Sabrina, is incredibly slim.

The basic gist of NSMS's draft seems good. Also, this raises the strong possibility that Kyubey is already gunning for us.

Only issue is we don't know just how distorted her view is. We need information before we can counter that information.

Well, we can work with this at least.

[x] Muramasa

Actually, several votes are tempting right now, but more information would be helpful.

Actually, could we offer to go right now? I mean, we're not attached to doing this in her room.
 
Definitely want to hear what she thinks happened in sendai from an outside perspective, even if it most likely a twisted story influenced by kyubey.

[x] Muramasa
 
... Actually; nobody involved dislikes us as much as they dislike QB, Sendai included. If we get her talking to any of them (in person, by telepathy, whatever) but without making any attempt at spin control beforehand - it'll rapidly become clear that she's being played.
 
Something to point out, perhaps: One of the Girls from the group being extorted, died. The rest were on the brink.

Doesn't even have to have been Kyubey. Could have been word of mouth.
True, but other than Akiko (who was catatonic the last time we saw her) we left on pretty good terms with everyone.

I'm leaning toward Kyubey as Megecus not becoming witches affects his bottom line and from what we know that could have been up to 11 witches he didn't get.

While we're here, in case this comes up at some point, remember we told Kyouko (and Masami?) they could send any stray megucas our way?

What is our plan with that?

Supposing a meguca appears out of the blue, and tells us she got kicked out of her city, what do we do? Go back with her to her place and negotiate with the territory holder meguca? And if negotiating doesn't work, beat her up?

Or what?

Plan would be, I presume, to let her stay in town. If she has no means of getting cash, we use some of our yakuza loot to put her up. Now if we get a mass migration, that'll require a different plan.
 
Hopefully an experience meguca will see more value in an unlimited grief seed.
Hopefully.

Though it's a thinking, walking, unlimited grief seed.

And, crazy as Akiko might be, the main Sendai group shows how not every meguca fights necessarily for their grief supply.

I'd assume stray megucas are likely to want to go back home. It's nice to offer them a place to stay but, specially for a newbie, recently kicked out of her city, that'd still be really harsh.

On the other hand, if we try to help stray meguca get back to their homes, that's a perfectly valid excuse/chance to expand our influence.

Ehh. I'd rather not go after every city while we've got stuff to do- I think if we reach too far the magical girls at large will become aware of, and not very pleased about, our presence. Look at Ono. Now they may not be the most powerful magical girls, and even the most powerful can't really beat us if we go all out, but it only takes one idiot a few seconds to do something... drastic.

We should prroooobably stick to stuff that's at least tangentially related to Mitakihara for the duration of the quest unless we hear some real horror stories about people.

And frankly, we'd best stay away from Tokyo. That many magical girls is going to be impossible for us to beat without going lethal, just because powers can be so weird.

I guess it'd be nice to open The Best Exotic Mamigold Hotel.
