Is it me, or does it seem like Kaoru, Umika, and Kazumi really are in a relationship? It's super-cute either way, though.

Niko has a minder, lulz. And perhaps someone with a crush on her.

Mami is having a good time, it seems. And wow, even the truancy officer tells us to take care of her. It's practically blatant to everyone that MamiXSabrina is a thing, it seems.

Oh wait, I just had an idea! Perhaps we can create a Grief construct that serves as a lie detector, and prove to Homura and Sayaka that it works. Then we could question Oriko (with Homura and Sayaka present) and put their concerns to the test--whether or not she'll ever intend harm for Madoka, whether or not she'll ever intend to betray Homura and Sabrina, whether or not she'll ever kill an innocent, whether or not she'll deliberately manipulate Sabrina or her friends into doing something that truly harms their interests, etc. Even when it comes to lies of omission, we can check for that with additional questions (like, "have you been earnest and forthcoming in your answers?").

I mean, it won't resolve Homura's trauma where Oriko and Kirika are concerned, but Homura is ultimately pragmatic. If we can prove that Oriko intends no harm to Homura/her friends/innocents (and, bonus points, prove that Oriko cannot, at present, utilize her precognition), Homura should grudgingly accept a sort of parole for them.

Sayaka should still try to copy Kyouko's power. If nothing else, we need to test if Sayaka can copy a power that the original wielder cannot (currently) perform. We just need to remind Sayaka to be tactful about it, and not ask for details or push if rejected.

Also, does this vote have Mami come with us to meet Kyouko? I'm not sure.
 
I believe the term that would be best used to describe our relationship so far would be:
Ruddy cute.


That's all I have, I have nothing to contribute to the discussion
 
I have a question:

Could we encourage Mami to put some time in working with Ribbon Clones? Al la the one in Rebellion?

As in, with arbitrary threads running across the city, she could be in multiple places at once, and with practice, not be too distracted/etc? With Clear Seeds the magic cost is irrelevant. In fact, given Clear Seeds, this opens the door for some other large-scale magic experimentation that has never been feasible in the past. Mami has always been a prodigy with evolving her magic. This could allay some of her concerns, and even make her feel less lonely if she was always with someone, somewhere.

Just tossing out ideas.
 
Brina-Mami kiss +1!

That makes 3.

Now we just need to wait on the Mami-Brina kisses. :p
I wonder how we could hint to Mami that we would like some...

*pictures Sabrina with a giant grief-neon sign over her head reading KISS DE GIRL in flashing colors*

Nah, too subtle.


But more seriously, I also want to see Mami bluescreen the Brina. Happy bluescreens are the thing I love most in the world on cute grills.
 
I'm just here to say that I noticed Firn's subtle implications that the Pleiades are all gay for Kazumi and in an actual relationship with her, and I appreciate it.
 
He ships it.

We'll get Kazumi to wear pants one day, you'll see. One day they will realise that pants can look great as well. It will be glorious.

Better keep an eye on her; before you know it, she's got her hands on scissors and cutting the legs off.
On the upside, hotpants is +1 social link for Kyouko!

I'm just here to say that I noticed Firn's subtle implications that the Pleiades are all gay for Kazumi and in an actual relationship with her, and I appreciate it.
Kazumi a harem protagonist?
Not all of them; one of them's gay for Saki instead.
 
We should think about calling Kyouko on her claims of familiar farming one of these days, directly ( to her face) or not (telling Mami we think it's BS). She wouldn't be having anywhere near the grief seed scarcity if she was really doing it, I feel like. Am I wrong about this?
 
We need to bring up a question about why none of them seem to like pants. I mean, our meguca outfit has pants, and they aren't too bad.
 
She was telepathically involved in the conversation.
I had thought we hadn't decided the schedule before Sayaka got out of the conversation, but apparently, we did.
"Cool," you say, and extend the telepathy to include Kyouko. "Right, so now that we're all here, when would be good for everyone?"

"I'm free every day," Kyouko drawls. "Not like I got anythin' to hold me up."

"Uh, I've got class?" Sayaka says.

You purse your lips in consideration - Sayaka sounds busy, which means you should probably rush this along a bit for her sake.

"How about every other evening?" you say. "Monday, Saturday, Friday? Do you have evening plans, Sayaka?"

"Um, going to the hospital," Sayaka says. "How long will we be training?"

"You need to be home for dinner, right?" you say. "Do you have club activities?"

"Nah," Sayaka says.

"So, after you finish school to around dinner time?" you say. "And we'll try Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings for now?"

"Sure," Sayaka mutters distractedly.

Faded red eyes regard you warily for a second before Kyouko responds. "Sure, I'm good with that," she drawls. "After Sabrina here settles payment."

A confirmation would be nice, though.
 
Sayaka should still try to copy Kyouko's power. If nothing else, we need to test if Sayaka can copy a power that the original wielder cannot (currently) perform. We just need to remind Sayaka to be tactful about it, and not ask for details or push if rejected.
Get her to copy Yuma first, though; healing is super-valuable.
We'll get Kazumi to wear pants one day, you'll see. One day they will realise that pants can look great as well. It will be glorious.
Just show her and her not-girlfriends skinny jeans.
 
No copying the Kyouko. Just like no copying the Homu.

Their powers are touchy subjects.

OK, about the vote... @Redshirt Army,

--[X] Try to keep Mami and Kazuza talking with each other.
---[X] Telepathy Homura, discuss where Sayaka's training should happen.
[X] Discreetly let Mami know Sayaka's training will be soon after school. You'll come back for the group hunt... and maybe karaoke~~?

---[X] Telepathy Homura, discuss where Sayaka's training should happen.
What's this about? Why telepathy Homura about this, why not Mami, or better, everyone involved, maybe Mami?

We probably can combine this with confirming the schedule with Sayaka. Also with the 'telling Kyouko about it' part. Like, we can telepathy multiple people together. :p

-[X] Make sure the mood will remain pleasant after excusing yourself and Sayaka.
Not to make Sabrina seem like an contrl freak and a worrywart, just kiss Mami goodbye and promise to be back soon?
 
[X] Redshirt Army

Soooooo cuuuuuuuute. Ahhhh I need moooore cute.....

Karaoke ideas... I feel like Eyes on Me could make for an interesting Blue Screen of Swoon, possibly involving some direction of Mami and lost students, but would it be too romancey and not platonic (as i think those usually were?). Definitely need to go for CuteOverloads here.

Ahh, productive discussion... I support the glory of skinny jeans! And questioning Kyouko on her scarcity versus familiar farming claims (maybe she's only recently stopped, to try and reconcile with Mami, and thats why its a recent scarcity?). And possibly the lie-detector idea, though we may want to test it with Oriko first to make sure we aren't frolicing through a minefield unless thats too keikaku.
