Far as I'm concerned every moment we continue to interact with Sasa makes the situation worse. I'm voting for DB because it ends this encounter quickest and most efficiently.

Eh, they all do that. Both of the leading options and mine all contain roughly 30 seconds of talking; the only one that doesn't is... Higure's? I think he's the only one who is still voting to continue beating our head against a wall, if he didn't change his vote when I wasn't paying attention.
 
Hm, so these seem to be the leading approaches for a "parting shot" to dealing with Sasa. The thing is, I'm not sure either one leaves us with a lasting impression, especially after five minutes of being annoyingly pushy. Do you think it would be better to tease that we have an ulterior motive for talking to her when we leave? After all, she seemed most interested in us when Sabrina was a mystery, not when she was dismissing her mysteries as being "complicated". Something like:

[X] Okay, clearly you don't want to talk; I get that. But the way you've communicated that tells me that you match the profile I'm looking for, that you're more important than you know.
[X] I'll probably be around here again tomorrow. Don't bother looking me up, though; I'm pretty sure I don't have a legal identity to find.
[X] Talk to Kyoko when you're finished with Sasa
-[X] Um, yeah, sorry about that.
-[X] Be right there.
[X] Head over to Kyoko

The only positive thing I can think of is that now Sasa might be ticked off enough that she won't want to talk to Kyubey, either. Wouldn't that be an interesting way to prevent a contract? :)
Line two gives her an order with "don't bother to" and comes over as arrogant- maybe reword? Line one's wording could use work tonewise too if you want to. Just my two cents.

Anyone else and it'd be fine, but Sasa is kind of crazy about that sort of thing.

Throwing Sasa under the bus isn't right. Do you want to deal with a crazy, hostile Sasa later? If not, we need to handle this as best we can, even if it's not the fastest.

Nono, the point of the vote would be to make her assume QB is trying to fuck with her when he cones around. She already hates us, if we make her hate us more and "pretend" to be part of a shadow cospiracy with QB we could potentially engineer such a situation. But I think as funny/interesting/inventive as it is, trying to out-social QB is probably never going to work here :/
 
You make it sound like one mundane annoying encounter is going to cause her to have a genocidal rage for Sabrina later.

But... It is. QB is trying to turn meguca against us, and at this point all he has to do is tell her that crazy foreigner was a meguca and she'll assume we were trying to bait her into a trap or something. At that point she'll be hostile, whether actively or passively. Depending on how he manipulates her she could send multiple witches after, say, Sayaka, or Kyoko. Sayaka would scream for help, we'd call up Homu, timestop and Sasa would end up on ice. Kyoko, hopefully, would decide to ask for help once she figured out the situation. But imagine if she went after, say, Yuma. We're invulnerable. Our friends are not.

That's a bit of a far-fetched scenario, admittedly... Except the part where Sasa becomes hostile.
 
Ya know the only way wally would a challenge to us ;is if we have to social her.
Constructive criticism involving that her performance should probably be less destructive to the environment around her. :V

You make it sound like Kyubey's going to send all the Magical Girls of Japan after Sabrina. Kyubey probably doesn't give as much of a shit as you guys think he does.

Oh no, a girl who's completely justified in disliking us after we pestered her for about 5-10 minutes is going to turn our entire world upside down. Someone sound the alarms. If she contracts, she'll go from a moody girl into a shit-tier Meguca whose mind control is so bad that it gets outclassed by another Magical Girl whose wish didn't even involve it in the slightest (Satomi Usagi from Kazumi Magica). She only knows who Sabrina is. She doesn't know who her friends are at all.

Yeah, you're right about that. How about:

[X] Okay, you don't want to talk; I get that. But the way you've said it tells me that you match the profile I'm looking for, that you're more important than you realize. Don't be so willing to give that up, especially not to, well, you'll see.

The point is to be a mysterious stranger, possibly a competitor to QB when he comes sniffing around. Sasa seemed to be most interested in Sabrina when she was a mystery, not when she was being arrogantly dismissive of her own mysterious-ness by calling it "complicated" (wouldn't you be?), so let's play up our mysterious-ness and then flee. Leave her wanting more, so to speak.

And how would she even know about Yuma? This is very, very unlikely.

Ahem. Please.

...

Anyway, clearly Ono was made aware of us, and QB was responsible for that. QB can and will escalate if he feels we are obstructing Madoka's contracting. Which we are, very clearly. If I were QB and I had the ultimate goal of isolating Madoka so as to force/provoke her to contract, and I had a crazy meguca to manipulate (Sasa), I would try to point Sasa at the weak links in Madoka's near relations: AKA the people farthest from Sabrina / Homura / Mami.

Why would it contract a shit guca like Sasa for that then.

I was going to say something, but this largely sums it up.

If you want to keep her attention, you need to give her a hook, and ice cream and offers of friendship aren't going to cut it.

Oh god that second red line's Sasa rage bait.

Why add lines that'll drive Sasa up the wall? :o
