@Ugolino: I assume then that the "declines" is for the tea/coffee thing:
@Muramasa: But would they respond? It might be better to leave a note tacked to the window in that case. At which point we'd have a completely different vote so not going to get into that.

-----Updated Proposal Below-----

[x] Continue talking to Hiroko
-[x] "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Wakahisa-san!"
-[x] "I understand that most of us magical girls are kind of... uh, I guess 'angrily antisocial' is a good way to put things. I'd rather not... be that kind of girl."
-[x] "Can I come in? To talk? Or, um, maybe we can have coffee[oc: or tea, whichever is more Japanese] somewhere public?"
-[x] "It's okay if you don't want to, but um... yeah...."

[x]If she starts to close the door, cut to the chase and tell her we can cleanse.

[x] If (Allowed_In == True|False ||Tea/Coffee_in_Public == False):
-[x] Give a bit more info about yourself--where you're from, the general status of Mitakihara, etc.
-[x] Explain about your powers--grief control. How you can freely and easily cleanse soul gems and even grief seeds at no cost to either party, and since it costs you nothing to help and it's always helpful to be on good terms with one's neighbors, you're dropping by to leave a standing offer for free cleansing whenever they'd like, as well as general assistance.
-[x] Also add that, as an extension of infinite free cleanses, you can basically do extensive healing, albeit slowly, so if there's ever an emergency...
 
Eh, I think as long as we're not being overly aggressive here, Hiroko is courteous enough not to slam the door in our face. But in the unlikely chance that it does happen, we can always ring the doorbell again.
Given lichbomb, there's a good chance she'd ignore it, courtesy or not. Right now, she's probably trying to get rid of us without being rude and is terrified we'd discover her friend's weight loss problem. Make it seem like we're a problem that can't bring a miracle cure to the table, and we're gonna have to break the door down to continue this.

Fair enough. I don't think Hiroko will act that way tbh but we might as well have a line in preparation for it just in case. Added your addition.

We've completely forgotten about Nagisa. We should pay her a visit soon.
 
We invited her over yesterday, and we just found her the day before. The timestop shenanigans really messed with our sense of time, but it has only been less than a day since we last saw her, chronologically.

Surface Tension pt. 19
You smile back. "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Wakahisa!"

She smiles faintly back, but you can see that she's clearly uncomfortable.

You sigh. "OK. I understand that most of us magical girls are rather... hm... 'angrily antisocial' is a good way to put it. I'd rather not be that kind of girl." You take a deep breath - time to force the issue. "May I come in? Just to talk?"

You do your best to look pitiful, but you're not very sure how well it works when you're half a head taller than the girl. As you are with most people you know, really.

The girl's eyes go distant for a moment, before she shakes her head. "I'm sorry, I'd rather not..."

"Or maybe we can have coffee or something, somewhere public?" you offer. "I understand if you don't want to, but um... yeah..."

Hiroko shakes her head more firmly. "Sorry, I'd rather not. Maybe you could come back another time?" she says, despite her tone and posture saying she'd rather not see you again.

"Ah, well, I wou-" she begins to close the door, and you hurriedly jam a foot against the door. "I can cleanse Soul Gems," you blurt.

Hiroko stops trying to close the door, emerald eyes blinking quizzically at you. "What?"

"I can cleanse Soul Gems," you repeat. "That's my power."

"Umm. That's impossible," she says blankly. "I think?"

"No, it's not, I'd gladly demonstr-" you say hurriedly, but are cut off by a new voice.

"Hey. I believe Hiroko said you should go away," the new voice sounds from inside the apartment. The newer voice, also female, sounds... odd, possessed of a certain gurgling, buzzing undertone.

... you could point out that technically, she hasn't, but you probably shouldn't, you decide.

"Masami! But weren't you hidi-" Hiroko starts in surprise, looking off to the side.

"She obviously knows I'm here," Masami replies, sounding disgruntled.

The owner of the voice stalks into view, gently nudging Hiroko out of the way and pulling the door open to the maximum of the security chain.

She's not what you'd expected. Masami, or so you presume this is, is a slim redhead, with delicate Asian features and brown eyes, and slightly taller than Hiroko is. She's dressed in a purple turtleneck sweater and long pants - covering up most of her skin, you can't help but notice.

... she looks absolute normal, though, frowning imperiously at you. "You're one of Mami's, aren't you?"

[] Write-in

=====​

You were expecting a skeleton? Too bad! It was just a cute girl! I've been waiting to use that line.
 
What exactly were we expecting?

[] "One of? It's just me and Mami as far as I know, but yes. I didn't come to try and recruit you or anything. Just wanted to talk."

Feel free to butcher or expound upon this.
 
I...wouldn't be so sure.


"gurgling, buzzing undertone."
"covering up most of her skin"

This clearly has no deeper meaning or significance. Or Masami's a Nurgle cultist. :p


WIP vote:
[]In a manner of speaking. We're a friend of hers, yes, but we didn't come to try and recruit you or anything. We just wanted to talk.
[]Discretely try and see how Masami's magic and grief are interacting like we did when first training. Something doesn't seem quite right here.
[]If nothing else, can we at least give them and their seeds a cleanse before we go? How are things for them?
-[]If something seems off...
--[]Ask them what they're scared of/what's wrong/why Masami was so keen on staying out of sight. If something's wrong, we want to help
