Adjust the Grand Plan for Sayaka and Homura already being here:
  • Early Morning:
    • Mumi fluff.
  • Morning:
    • Schedule Bennouna for today.
    • Schedule Cleansing Trip for today.
    • Schedule Kyouko for today.
    • Schedule Tokyo for not-today (today already full).
    • Appoint Homu Mitakihara on-call.
    • Discuss Kyouko with Mami.
    • Plan Bennouna with Mami+Homu+Sayaka.
    • Plan Cleansing Trip with Mami+Homu+Sayaka.
    • Spare time: Enchantments.
  • Midday: One of: Bennouna, Kyouko, Cleansing Trip
  • Afternoon: One of: Bennouna, Kyouko, Cleansing Trip
  • Late afternoon: One of: Bennouna, Kyouko, Cleansing Trip
  • Night:
    • Mami fluff
    • Discuss Asunaro
    • Spare time: Enchantments.


  • Kyouko: Goals:
    • Give $$$ for Sayaka training
    • Mention hackerguca, offer put in touch so can help with Yuma.
    • If Mami present: Assist social. Assumptions: "Discuss Kyouko with Mami" went well. Goal: Repair Mami+Kyouko friendship. Expected: Mami little bit less broken-up about kouhais, she and Kyouko can be in the same room at the same time without crippling emotional overflow.
    • If Sayaka present: Assist social. Goal: Dunno, they seem like they're on pretty good terms already.
    • If Sayaka present: Negotiate to copy Yumapower, especially if before cleansing trip.
  • Bennouna: Goals:
    • ???, honestly, some of this is in CKII territory
  • Cleansing Trip: Goals:
    • Possible: present Dewitching research to Akiko to help solve psych problems?
    • Commission false ID from hackerguca.
    • If Sayaka present: negotiate for power copying.
    • If after Kyouko: Mention Kyouko to hackerguca.

  • Enchantments:
    • Sayaka power storage (probably requires Sayaka present and participating?)
    • Artificial Grief Seed research
    • Useful enchantments for cleansing trip:
      • Lie detector
      • Mind Blank
      • Sniper shield
So right now, we're on mumi fluff, with upcoming discussions with Sayaka about her and possibly taking her on the cleansing trip, Homura about holding the fort while we go around cleansing, and with everybody about Bennouna. We schedule Kyouko after we schedule everything else because she's the most flexible. Homura after Sayaka so she knows if Sayaka's going to be going with us. But before all that, fluff.

-Talk with Homu about us going out of town (optional)
-Talk with Sayaka about Minmaxing her
-Telepathy Kyouko about payment
Pretty much agreed.

[x] A new day!
-[x] Of course you realize, this mean war. :p
-[x] Ask Sayaka what time it is.
-[x] Morning routine. Ask everyone if they slept well, if you get a chance try to help with breakfast, etc.
[x] After morning routine, discuss plans for today with everybody.
-[x] You're heading off to go cleansing and want to bring Sayaka with you. Not only for backup - they have a teleporter, gotta get that Deep Strike.

Discuss plans with everybody so Madoka and Sayaka don't feel left out, we want them to know what's going on with the cleansing trip and Bennouna and stuff.

Ok, hey, guys? Despite the disasters, the stress, the bullshit, and the general awfulness of it all...

Let's talk about the fact that On A Rail (plus Post One of A Red Letter Day, which counts, thank you) was probably the single most successful chapter to date? Let me just...

-- Mami gained several dozen happiness points and can now fly following Most Romantic Scene Ever
-- Oriko was reached by a social argument (fucking miracle)
-- Despite disclosures, Sayaka and Hitomi are still happily being friends with us
-- Madoka seems happy and satisfied
-- We made a big scientific discovery (Prima Luce)
-- Sayaka feels included and we've gone from "man she feels weak" to "oh here's how we're gonna minmax her to hell and back" which will (hopefully) let us shed much of the negativity surrounding her contract
-- Kyouko and Sayaka have met under essentially ideal conditions and Sayaka has gotten a good first impression of Kyouko, which is more than canon could've ever hoped for
-- We're much more comfortable with openly expressing affection for Mami

Like, in hindsight? On a Rail was a colossal and total success. Holy shit.

Fuckin cheers, mates.
 
Maybe, but she's still very fragile mental-health wise.


Personal opinion here, but that's a mixed bag for me.

Yes to the first, essay to the second. You do you and I'll do me.

We're still at Doka's house and will probably be eating breakfast. We could do this over telepathy. I also disagree with the presentation -- better to give Sayaka the whole set of ideas.

We should telepathy Kyouko; it's a nil-cost action.
 
You know, the idea of inviting Sayaka so she wouldn't be left out crossed my mind a couple days ago, but I dismissed it because of the past drama... Damn, Doka, you work good.

Also, of course Doka would play Strings, The Game.
 
@Firnagzen

Since it just happened this last update, and since my often repeated "37,000x" figure is based on rough estimates, can we get some IC numbers?

How much grief, volumetrically, did we pull out of Homura's Grief Seed to Clear it? And how much "empty space" for grief, volumetrically, does a Grief Seed we haven't cleaned have?
 
Wow, this was... fast.

Yeah. You're not really sure you could have slept, either. This, on the other hand... this is fine.

==I can't find you===​

Morning rolls around at some point, you suppose. There's someone trying to shake you awake. Sayaka, boisterously cheerful and far too loud. You mumble in sleepy annoyance and cling tighter to the warm, soft form in front of you, which clings right back. Which was going to happen anyway. You don't need to be up early.
 
How much grief, volumetrically, did we pull out of Homura's Grief Seed to Clear it?
Well, the total volume of the grief we're carrying after having emptied three seeds is approximately the size of a shipping container. The volume of a shipping container is ~2,720 cubic feet. (I know, should do this metric, but shipping container dimensions are nice easy integers in feet.) Each seed then is presumably ~900 cubic feet.
