[X] Cuddle with Mami.
-[X] To pass the time, tell her about your idea of 'The Best Exotic Mamigold Hotel': A place where any meguca can go and have free lodging and food and stuff. Could take in some homeless meguca and just be a nice place to stay for meguca passing by. Mami could lead a place like that, after we provide the... resources? Well, of course that's a ways off, we'd have to take over the Yakuza first, and stuff.

--[X] Telepathy Noa back and ask if it would be possible for us to address the Council personally in the next couple days. You've developed something new that you think they'll all be interested in, and can make any arguments about who gets cleansing "first" irrelevant.

[X] For example, brainstorming silly ideas for businesses designed, run by, and patronized by only meguca. Like the Mamigold Hotel, or the White Ribbon Cleansing service, or the Sakura Medical Center. Hey, I mean, with that wonderful bedside manner... Just boke it up. See if you can't get Mami to Tsukkomi for you.

Letting Mami know more about our long term plans is actually a good idea. It keeps her in the loop )which has many benefits), makes us less likely to be distracted and shows that we can talk to her about this kind of stuff.

I'm not a fan of giving Mami expectations. Information, yes. Expectations, no. And BestMami is by our side, not running a hotel.
 
Phrase tweaking would be good. "How would you feel about..." or "would it be a good idea if..." might be better than presenting it as a completed plan.

Also, best comedic timing would place the name no sooner than the middle of the description, and ideally towards the end.

Mami could really benefit from a hotel the same way she benefits from being an idol. People depending on her is a positive.

I'm going to remind you one time of our undue influence over her.

If you want to present something like this it should be very obviously a joke (and she'll still think about it) or in company with many other suggestions and a "can always something else."

I didn't expect a close vote. :V

[X] Cuddle with Mami. Chat to pass time until picnic time.
-[X] Hey, silly idea, but you've thought it'd be nice if there was a place for meguca to hang out, a place exclusive to meguca and friends only. Does that sound cool? Maybe in time you could get a big building, decorate it, invite all meguca to drop by, or even offer homeless meguca a place to stay. You could call it The Best Exotic Mamigold Hotel, how's that sound?

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! To everyone else... have a nice Thursday, I guess? :cool:


'The Best Exotic Mamigold Hotel'
I have issues with that name. To anyone who isn't familiar with a fairly-obscure film that isn't even out yet at the time this takes place, it not only makes no sense, it sounds vaguely salacious.

Check if the movement pattern of her phone before it went offline can traced. This would tell us if she was heading in a certain direction, or just wandering aimlessly.
My first thought was, "Who would start moving in the direction of their destination before going dark?" but then I reminded myself that we're dealing with a depressed teenager, not a Shadowrun player. :p

I'm hoping that if we go to the last place her phone was before it went silent, we'll find something. Although I'm increasingly suspecting that what we'll find will be a Barrier with her witch in it. :(

Anyway, the large chibi brina shouldn't look like us. It should be a scaled up chibi. And we should exclusively manage all interactions with Sayaka through it.
 
(Would Mami feel bad if Brina can make a full sized clone with no effort while Mami can barely manage the Chibi version?)
We should try to help Mami with developing her full-sized ribbon doppelganger. We know she's capable of pulling it off. If the magic cost is the issue, we can certainly alleviate that. :cool: (Which reminds me, we need to give Mami a Clear Seed at some point so we know she's taken care of.)

That would be fucking terrifying to look at. Talk about Uncanny Valley. :o

Whereas if we make it look just like us, then we can give Mami twice the hugs!

I think at that point it wouldn't be so cute anymore, and Sayaka wouldn't feel so conflicted about something that looks like Sabrina being cute, so Chibi should stay Chibi.

Maybe ask her to try making a full sized clone, maybe we can see what the problem is?

Guys, I like the whole long term plans thing, but seriously, ditch the name.

The movie doesn't debut in-universe for another 7 months, and then only in the UK (the US doesn't screen it until mid-2012). Until it does, it's an in-joke without an in-crowd, which just makes it sound dumb.

I don't understand the joke. I didn't even realise it was a joke. I just thought the name praised Mami and was a bit on the charmingly silly side, but the name was never something I was concerned about. I was assuming Mami would choose a better name anyway.

EDIT: I mean, if we want, we can use something like Riposo Magico or something, but with real grammar instead of google translate grammar (I have no idea if Google is right or not here)

I mean, if we want a ref to a movie title, that's also an English pun on Mami's name, I suggest Mamificent Heaven
 
(Hotel has been replaced with a bar)

This is a FFVII reference now.
Jeez, people, if we want to do a reference that's not either extremely dated from our perspective or incomprehensible from the characters' perspective, let's go with something classy. "Mami's Café Américain". The name's even fitting to the theme of the place, too.

We just have to remember to act shocked every time there's gambling going on in the establishment. :D
