We went into trance to create that thing.
We're telling Mami that we're working on a thing. She's not going to panic if we zone out for a minute or produce witchy vibes.
UPDATED VOTE:
[X] Talk to Mami. We had Kirika doing some research for us, and there's a magical girl named Kuroki who hasn't been seen the last few days. We want to try a couple things to see if we can get a fix on her position.
We're probably going to be too distracted to be much help with the rest of the picnic prep. Sorry to flake out on her like that, but we're really starting to worry. If Mami has any ideas, we'd love to hear them.
[X]
Do Kirika's search results include Kuroko's phone number? If not, tell Mami that you're going to conjure something, create the privacy construct again, and go somewhere with no uncovered windows to consult Homura's book to see if it's in there.
[X] Try calling the number. It's probably already been tried, and if she were answering her phone she wouldn't be missing, so I'm not expecting an answer. Grief up a magical computer like all those "hacker" characters on TV have, which can connect to our phone, hack into the phone company, and trace the location of Kuroki's phone. Does that work?
-[X] What about a detector for any EM or particle emissions produced by telepathy or soul gems? Form three of them and try to triangulate sources. Plot them on a grief map of the city.
Does that work?
[X] If that's not viable, telepathy the Ishinomaki group. Let them know that we plan to be up there to refresh their Grief Seeds tomorrow. Oh, and can we get their computer expert to do us a favor? We can pay her for her time.
-[X] Give her Kuroki's phone number and ask if she can track its location. Even just knowing which cell tower it's talking to would help narrow it down.
--[X] We might also want to commission some identity papers tomorrow. We'll let her know more when we see her.
[X] If those all failed or got vague results, then we don't have any good leads on her, and we're not in the greatest position to run off to do detective work, so we were thinking about hiring some of the magical girls we know from the surrounding areas to ask around and try to find her. Would Mami be okay with letting them pass through her territory to search, and hunting any witches they might encounter? It's not like we need the grief seeds.
Am I missing anything?
EDIT:
I considered putting this in there somewhere...
-[ ] If Mami asks why we're not going out to search ourselves, it's because we don't want to leave her side right now. She asked us to stay with her, and her happiness is the most important thing to us.
...but I thought that might be saying too much.
