...Not sure how to explain this one. A little assistance, @Ugolino?

...She ended up choosing the life of a Meguca, and as such we could help her make the most of it? To show that we are there for her despite the circumstances?

We're already showing that though with the hospital visit and the training session later. Here we haven't even seen Sayaka's power yet but we're already banking on her fighting skills not being good enough? Or that Mami isn't good enough to handle it?

I'm not comfortable with the message being presented here.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!...

Masami closed her eyes, "oh, for fu-"

"Let me in!" Came shouting from outside the door, "I belong in this! LET ME-"

"You've no worthy cause, Hamasaki!" Yelled Hiroko back.

A moment of silence.

"WHAAAAT!" Akiko exploded.

Hiroko flinched at the noise reverberating throughout the room. She yelled back, "What did Sabrina do to you that was so bad, eh!"

A muffled sound was barely heard through the door.

"Did she stood you up?" Asked Ono out loud.

"Kicked you off a building?" Pitched in Kyuubey.

"Will embarrass you in front of Madoka that one time?" Piped in Homura.

Hiroko nodded to herself. "See? Your silly grudge can't compare to our-"

BLAM!!!

The door shook in its hinges, creaking ominously.

"FUCK YOU!" Yelled Akiko.

Everybody watched the still closed door, listening to the stomping footsteps of the retreating Magical Girl.

"Well," said Feathers, "now we can finally move onto important things."

"Yes," came a new voice. Two more girls climbed through a trapdoor in the floor, "like the proper treatment of Gyokuro tea," finished Oriko Mikuni.
And then it turns out they where right to hate Sabrina...............they just did so for the wrong reasons.
*After leaving leaving Masami's house Sabrina returns to warehouse-kun all alone*

Sabrina: I have done as you ask of me my master.

*Suddenly one of the walls of the warehouse twists to resemble the face of a witch long thought dead Kriemhild Gretchen*

Kriemhild Gretchen: Good and the looper in unaware of my survival?

Sabrina: She is ignorant as ever my master.

Kriemhild Gretchen: Excellent, it was a good move to twist your nature to my liking back when you where first being formed, your good side is completly under lock an key.................it's a shame that's also the side that doesn't microwave tea, but alas no plan is perfect.

Sabrina: Yes, it is very fortunate we managed to get a man on the inside of her little conspiracy...................right Kyubey?

Kyubey: Yes I must say it is, I might have been deprived of my chance to get revenge on Akemi if you hadn't............nobody shoots me in the ass and uses time travel to get away with it.

Sabrina: Heh the fools, they shouldn't have rejected Akiko, for her little minion Sakura is the only magical girl alive that knows my true nature.

Kriemhild Gretchen: Good, and the other threat to our plans:

*Sabrina takes out a grief seed and see and holds it up as Kyubey jumps into her other hand*

Sabrina: She won't be an issue this loop, good thing she Akemi won't listen to her or we'd be in deep trouble.

Kriemhild Gretchen: Mwhahahahahaha! Very good my minion! Now to go over it one more time you all know your parts?

Sabrina: Yes when Walpurgisnacht arrives early tomorrow I will witch out Oriko's little pet, driving that stupid little seer to despair and disabling they're ability to react to our fellow conspirators.

Kyubey: Then I will tell Mami of the true nature of magical girls, and she will in turn kill Sayaka before taking her own life. I will also naturally keep Oriko from using telepathy to warn the others about your true nature and inevitable betrayal.

Sabrina: Right, after finishing off Oriko I will then go to 'assistant' Akemi against Walpurgisnacht, but just when I get within range I will fill her soul gem to maximum capacity and detonate all her grief seeds, preventing her from 'undoing' this little mess when everything falls apart for her.

Kriemhild Gretchen: Ahahahaha good, and with the others preventing any interfierence Madoka will be forced to contract, thus allowing me to be born into the world anew! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kyubey: Why is she laughing like that?

Sabrina: I don't know the mistress is weird sometimes.

Also why are we offering to pay with grief seeds (which we only have one right now and intend to keep it), when we can offer to make a clear seed?

Because we're further away, we can amend the offer, and nothing's wrong with some quick witchmurder. Added in to offer a clear seed.

I'm not particularly comfortable messing around with Sayaka's training too much. That's still very much Mami's thing.
This is longer term and a supplement at most- plus it's an excuse to get Koko social links. Yes, Mami's in charge but we're laying groundwork for later side stuff.
 
...Rewording the blueberry recommendation. :D

[x]...I kind of just want to drop in, if that's okay. Head over if she gives you the go-ahead. And I was wondering...Would you be interested in a job? I could pay with grief seeds.
[x]If Kyoko asks for details, tell her it'd involve sparring with a new magical girl sometime, to help her get better. Just...showing them the ropes, you know? You're good with that spear of yours. Really good, and she could use your help.
-[x]If she presses even more, explain that she's one of your friends- Sayaka Miki. We think you two might get on like a house on fire.

And we're not even going to bother asking Mami and Sayaka if they're going to be okay with this? We gave Megane of all people a choice if she wanted to be trained by Kyoko along with explaining what she was like, and we're not even going extend our actual friend the same courtesy?

Plus, we'd be asking Kyoko to train Sayaka when Mami is or was already going to do that. There's already a whole bunch of ways that could go wrong. And Sayaka and Kyoko seem to kind of hate each other when they first meet. Yeah, they get along a lot better later, but that's after a couple attempts of trying to kill each other.:V Seems like it would be smarter to wait on that until we can get the both of them to mellow out a bit.

Added the word "possible" since this is apparently a problem. :p

Honestly, this is just groundwork. Feeling her out. I really, really don't see the issue here with asking if she might be up for it. We're not taking her back to Mitakihara with us here and now- what's the problem here with checking something like this?

Kyoko'd be a supplement at most. Mami handling her training isn't inconsistent with a field trip or two.

And that was under them meeting under the ABSOLUTE worst possible circumstances. Put them together in a more relaxed first contact- and with a lot of Sayaka's old issues defused and with us to nudge her out of her canon mindset- and things should go differently.

This is a good thing for everyone, and vital for social links. It'd be a massive mistake to let this slip.

Us being there- even if Mami's the best choice to handle the specifics of training- giving advice, chipping in, generally showing that she matters to us and we care about her/ want to fight alongside her should build trust, make it clear that we're on the same page and avoid her canon issues where she wound up alone and then dead. We'll need all the trust with our friends that we can get.

Plus it lets us sell "save meguca" as a cause for her to latch onto- and builds her self esteem that we value her as an equal.

-[x]And...we kind of just wanted to hang out for a bit. To talk.
-[x]Ask about Yuma.
[x]If she goes for it, thank her and talk to Mami on the way about school, how she's feeling/how things are going, and our plans for for the rest of today. Gently remind her about Oriko if it seems like her plans mean she won't get healed. That, or talk about the picnic.
[x]Check up on Kirika too on the way. Make sure she's okay.

Yeah mentioning the gold in case she doesn't want seeds and maybe this time she won't see us as a goody two shoes

Ehh. Don't want to patronize her, but yeah, adding a line to that effect. She's kind of short on seeds regularly though, so she'll probably go for the seeds.
 
Just not really interested in the whole training thing right now.

[x]"I just wanted to hang out and talk for a bit, if that's okay with you. I could give you and Yuma a cleanse and treat you both to some food." Head on over if she give the go-ahead.

Again, I really don't see the gold as valuable enough to hoard rather than give to someone who might need it and who we really want to befriend.

With magic, money really isn't an object and we have plenty of gold bars to go around.

Please list the ways in order to acquire funds in good conscience. Just going to point out, we dont have that many gold bars and they dont just grow on trees.

Kyouko could probably use some cash. No one needs a gold bar. But it can be used to provide for many more then just one person. Im saying dont wastefully use them like that.

We could always raid more yakuza hideouts. It's fun and it's a good bonding experience with mom. Plus it's not like it eats into our schedule seeing as we'll be doing it during timestop.

Robbing other deserving targets. Doing good for a small fee if we absolutely do need the cash for something specific.

If giving Kyoko means to stay content and happy with Yuma is a waste, I'm happy to waste one (!) or more gold bars doing it.

How many yakusa establishments is Homura actually aware of? And how often can we set up these raids?
We only need one.

One gold bar is not the end of the world, and it's only there to give her options. It's a major mistake to NOT sound out Kyoko for meguca drill sergeant.
 
What would the most honest approach be, by chance?

We want to:
- Check on Kyouko.
- Check on Yuma.
- Give them an Empty Seed.

Anything else?

We could work with the bare minimum, perhaps.

Actually, Homura warned against being dishonest with Kyouko at all...

[X] I wanted to hang out... check up on Yuma. And you, too, it's been a while. Wanna go for a late lunch?
-[X] Actually, I've a project I've been working on. I want you to have a look at it, if that's OK?.
