We really don't have that much time, what with having to fly to Asunaro and back.

I'd be more interested in meeting Nao than testing liquid Grief? What would we be testing for, anyway?

@Onmur

I don't want to bring up that we know that magical girls become witches to QB. It might make it count as "fair game" to discuss around Mami to him or something equally stupid.
Well, maybe just ask where she is and check...

Actually, would KB tell us where Kuroki/Albertine is?
 
we can basically cook food at any time
So, our mobile oppression fortress can dispense fresh pancakes as well as oppression freedom?
"Do lasers just pass right through her?"

"Yes, they do," Kyuubey confirms.
The heat from the lasered air on either side would probably be unpleasant though, if we end up doing that for some reason.
Then again, it might, if only from reading joke books. The mental image is disconcerting, to say the least.
Speaking of which, I recently had the mental image of Kyuubey having a romantic candle lit dinner with someone. He is far too small for the chair.

and catch the free end with bits of Grief coalesced instantly out of seemingly thin air. You grin.

You could get used to having a utility fog.
We'll have to see how fast we can make it solid enough to block attacks, although it seems fairly quick.
and carefully, carefully, you slide a tiny marble of Grief along the ribbon until it exits your sphere of control, still intact. Still under control.
If Mami doesn't veto this and future tests, we'll determine how far from the ribbon the range expands, and whether it needs to be continuous Grief?
-[ ] Formally apologize: You won't have time for lunch this time. Terrible thing.
Do we have time for brunch?
 
[] To Mami: In hindsight, maaaaaaybe you should have expected that? You'll show her at lunch, if that's OK -- you basically pushed your magic into her magic...
-[] engage worried apologies. Is she ok, is her gem ok, you should've waited for her to be there for it...
 
Anyways:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO KAWAII WHEN IT DEVELOPS

WE JUST TOUCHED PART OF HER SOUL WITH PART OF OUR OWN AND THATS WHY IT FELT INTRUSIVE BUT THATS A GOOD TOUCH ONCE WE FIGURE IT OUT KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

*tacklehugs @ArcadianPhoenix*

YOU'RE TOO DAMN HUGGABLE MUMI NYAN
 
[Q] After explaining things to Mami:
-[Q] Take the Ribbon, and instead of pushing your magic through it, envelop it in your magic.
--[Q] Magic hugs!
 
I want to make contact with Nao, both to make sure that she's okay and to make sure that she knows we're coming. Otherwise Kyubey can go to her and tell her, "A powerful magical girl is looking for you. She wants something from you."

I also want to ask Kyubey to connect us to Kuroki if she's alive. Acting as a go-between is actually part of his usual role.

We're going to have all afternoon for experiments when we're stuck babysitting the Asunaronians. Reaching out to girls in need is more urgent.
 
Wait... wait... Kyubey can joke? Kyubey is capable of lying?! He just said a magical girl could die of old age! Did he mean heat death of universe old age or something? What the heck?!
 
So, with the grief nanoparticles achieved, we have successfully figured out how to do the "trench coat billowing in the wind as we make a Clear Seed" trick!

Also, Kyubey was very forthcoming and helpful. I say we reciprocate that (within reason)--a helpful, cooperative Kyubey is VASTLY preferable to one that is antagonistic or quietly hostile.

I think Kyubey views Sabrina as a potentially huge payoff for the system as a whole, to an even bigger degree than contracting Madoka. Because Sabrina is not only completely unique and unprecedented in multiple ways (her strange soul, her power--which is all about controlling something that the Incubators consider to be a magical energy source, etc.), she has the potential to lead to new discoveries that could reform the whole system for greater efficiency/efficacy across the whole. In a past loop, Kyubey considered Madoka Witching out to be simply fulfilling Earth's energy quota considerably early--a blip on the radar, at most. It's possible that, in Kyubey's eyes, Sabrina has the potential to improve the radar itself.

Thus, we have a lot to gain by establishing a cooperative relationship with Kyubey. Yes, there is the obvious trauma involved for Mami, but we should be able to keep the two separate without any deception involved. So long as we're cooperative (within reason, which is easy--Kyubey hasn't even really objected to our plans to distribute Clear Seeds, for example), he should abide by any request to not bother Mami or show up whenever she's around. We could tell Mami--truthfully--that we're willing to be cooperative with Kyubey for mutual benefit, even if we know that he has no intention of actually being anyone's friend. A purely business relationship, in other words.

Also, we should definitely ask Kyubey to get us in touch with Kuroki Matsuko. For one, he just confirmed that she's still alive, which is a surprise (the latter part, I mean). We don't know how long she'll stay that way, though, and we should make it a priority to check up on her and provide aid if she needs it.

She might have Witched.

To be honest, KB's doing this because we have been ignoring it, rather than cooperating with it.

I think we should take what we can, then ditch KB. If it wants anything from us, he's gonna have to work for it.

If we give ourselves fake bulging veins around our eyes, would anyone get the reference?
Well, I'm pretty sure everybody's first reaction is "HOLY HELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR EYES/FACE" cause no matter the reference, bulging face veins look creepy as hell in real life.

Second, bulging face veins could be a number of references. the Byakugan is the first that comes to mind, but Neon Genesis Evangellion, That one anime with the twerp inheriting a ghostbusters company and uses his magic eye sealed behind a huge magic eyepatch to pull a Yami!Yugi, G Gundam all had the bulging face veins at some point and come to mind as well.

May it's a referanve to Jojo as Dio had an attack where he split his eyes open and sprayed people with the fluid inside(I think it's unlikely, but I'm putting it out there).

There's a difference between a lie and a joke.

And it's perfectly in line with what we know about Incubators for them to be able to understand that certain types of statements are considered humorous by humans without understanding why those statements are considered humorous.

As for old age, Kyubey could be alluding to the Witchbomb. Remember that the Incubators seem to consider Witches to be part of the natural life cycle of magical girls.
 
Remember to "only" make it 50 meters in radius. :V
75!

It's good to keep a trump card, but not to cripple ourselves. :V

Though, 50m radius would make the reveal sound better.

"Fu fu fu... You fools! The truth is I've been fighting at only 50% strenght! But now that you have threatened my Mami, I have no choice but to Go! Full! POWAHHH!"

Meanwhile, "I've been fightint at only 75% strenght" doesn't sound as cool.

[X] Apologize to Mami - you wanted to see if her ribbons could conduct your magic. You should have forewarned her.

[X] Ask Kyuubey:
-[X] About Magical Girls and immortality.

[X] Keep the utility fog up and runnings.
-[X] Measure how much more Grief you could keep without needing to give excess to Kyuubey.

[X] Before Kasamino:
-[X] Try to make an "active camo" system for your MOF. You can already do cameras with Grief and change colors; this should be easy.

[X] Apologize to Mami. Make sure she's alright; both her body and her Soul Gem.
-[X] Explain the experiment. Try not to gush about how awesome she is.
-[X] Maybe we can do some experiments later
Mami's health comes first, for me. It doesn't matter how awesome the experiment is, we want to know that Mami is safe and sound, because we Lo- We really don't want to see her hurt *cough*.

[X] Keep the Utility Fog
-[X] Do some basic experiments with Liquid Grief
-[X] Ask Kyuubey if he has the facilities to store and analyze samples. We'd be okay with giving him some if he'd like.
We can do grief density experiments at any time, honestly. Liquid grief is promising, and we should be able to do basic experiments with it whilst simultaneously following the next part of the vote.

[X] Question Coobs
-[X] Kuroki - how is her condition, and can he get us in contact?
-[X] Can he put us in telepathic contact with Nao prior to us actually meeting? We're still wary of him. Once bitten, twice shy.
-[X] Grief - If he could somehow break down incubator knowledge barney style for us, either now or at a later time (NOT AROUND MAMI), we might feel more inclined to support a working relationship with the rat.
Obviously, wording matters here. But in order of priority, we need to know how pressing Kuroki's situation is, specifically Kyuubey's estimated Mean Time to Witch (MTW), and if her power is blocking him from helping us contact her. If not, we can even call her to Warehouse-kun if we have time, and if that's not possible, we can always arrange a meet-up. Nao we already asked about. We don't really need to be doing the negotiations right nao, but we want to talk to her before we meet in case Kyuubey tries to poison the well. As far as the grief knowledge, I'm not expecting much. But if we could even get their equivilent of a Elementary School Science Textbook, it could give us all sorts of ideas. But Kyuubey's about as likely to hand over that as we are our metaknowledge. Still, we should ask, because it hurts nothing, costs nothing.

[X] Kasamono
-[X] Meet up with Koko. Sorry, but we don't have time for lunch today, just business.
-[X] Discuss Sayaka/Kyouko melee training. Mami okayed it.
-[X] Get the deets on the maiden voyage of the SS. Kyousaya from Yuma if we have time.
Just added the "if we have time", because we might be pushing the schedule and The Deets may end up taking too long. As much as I want to hear them, today's a work day.
