Keeping magic secret is also completely pointless. If we want to keep discussion light all we need to do is refer questions to Madoka for after we leave and move on to discussing curry recipes.
 
This is not the argument I expected to erupt over this vote. -____-

I'm having trouble finding reasons to not do a reveal in the long term, but I think that now is absolutely not the time to do it. Schedule that shit. Get Madoka's permission and input, they're her parents and it's her home life. Doing it now is not only dramatic and unnecessary, it's incredibly impolite meddling. If she wants to keep her home a refuge from the drama of magical girl life that she can retreat to when she's getting stressed out by helping everybody else, we let her keep it.

All else aside, can we not have another huge vitriolic debate right now? We've had enough of those recently and our entire plan for the upcoming few updates is to relax and destress. Please?

I'm pretty sure Homura and Mami would understand that we're just making something up on the spot and not necessarily committing to it or remembering shit or anything.
They would, it'd just take them a second. I don't think that Madoka has a good enough poker face to beat her parents.
 
[x] Kyouko: Nothing else important. Thank her for helping Sayaka decompress, wish her and Yuma a good night, and sign off.

[x] Before arriving, group telepathy with Madoka to make sure nothing awkward happens during introductions. If necessary, coordinate a cover story.
-[x] Foreign, last name Vee, semi-recently arrived, met through Mami who met you on the internets.
[x] On reaching Kaname residence, let Madoka do introductions all around.

-[X] When appropriate, make sure to thank them again for the picnic basket, it was delicious. The food was delicious, not the basket. People don't eat baskets, they'd be all woody. They know what you mean.
--[x] Madoka mentioned you should swap curry recipes at some point. His must be pretty special, Madoka used half a bottle of chili powder getting a bowl of yours seasoned right.
-[X] When you greet Tatsuya, congratulate him on being an absolutely adorable baby, and to keep up the good work.

-[x] When appropriate - destress first, no need to cut hanging out short or anything, no emergencies here - talk to Madoka.
--[x] Ask her how she's doing. Anything she's thinking about or worrying about, that kind of thing.
--[x] Ask Madoka for advice on Sayaka. She's Sayaka's friend and knows her better than any of us do.
---[x] Give her an overview of the situation. We found the girls that burned down Sayaka's house but were kind of stressed out and afraid of how everybody would react, so we procrastinated on telling everybody for way too long. We told Sayaka and Hitomi today and now they're mad at us and probably don't trust us and we feel really guilty about it, so...
---[x] And, yeah, we probably should've told Madoka about it too. :/

What argument did you expect to erupt?
More pressure for dramatic shit with Madoka. Arguments about what kind of tone to take when explaining Oriko+Kirika to Madoka and level of fault to admit, same as when explaining to Sayaka+Hitomi.

"me" instead of "you", else it's kind of confusing?
Yeah, I realized that the quotes were causing problems and reformatted it.

Also removed the bit about going to a different school, we'll just hope that that gets completely skipped or let them come to that conclusion on their own when we say that we met through Mami instead of being a classmate.

I don't like lying to them, but for now I'd still prefer it to a masquerade break or putting Madoka on the spot. Just minimize the actual outright lies. Foreign close enough, last name Vee close enough, semi-recently arrived yes, met through Mami not really but she's the resident magical girl sempai and that's good enough.

But we did meet Mami through the internets. :V

 
@Vebyast Can we go with Velociraptor instead of Vee? :V

Or maybe Valenzuela, since that's Christina Vee's Real Surname.

What makes you guys so certain that they would question Sabrina on not telling what her last name is? Absolutely no we've run into so far has. Not even the adult who leaves his niece with Sabrina for extended periods of time has. People have always just wordlessly accepted it. for some reason.
 
We chose a few potential last names by voting on them, so if we get asked (not that people usually ask) we can just pull out one of them. The top winners were Vee, Victoria, Veidt and Vesa, in that order.

Actually, we're gonna need at least three or four last names when we get our fake IDs made. Because if we're going to be hanging out with a bunch of teenage girls (and sharing a bed with one), our ID had better say that we're of a similar age if we don't want to catch all kinds of hell. But if we're going to be opening bank accounts and buying property, then we're going to need ID that says that we're a legal adult to do those things. And the shadowrunner in me says that we need an identity that's unconnected to anything that we care about for when we want to act covertly, and an identity that we never use for anything to keep in reserve in case we have to go on the run.


I'm aware of that, and that staying out late drinking with the bosses is probably required for her to move up the corporate ladder. But when you're passing out drunk on the front doorstep and your own kid has to help out of bed every morning, it's time to join a twelve-step program. :p


Any reason why somebody put a Cat in my Ratings Box?
@BunnyLord is just going nuts with the Meow rating - he's just going through old posts and rating them all.
And here I though he was implying that the tone of my post was "catty." :cool:

The Meow rating is anything you want to be. :V

That all sounds reasonable for me. Veidt is obviously for black ops. Have to keep up the tradition. Vee for magical girl stuffs since it's the most distinctive. Then Victoria for business things, since it's a reasonable and common name.
