[] How likely are Madoka's and Sayaka's parents to know about this? You'd been feeling bad about hiding it, but if it's common knowledge...
[] Why did Hitomi have to find out about magical girls from us? Leaving a girl to potentially only learn about the system from Kyuubey seems dangerous.
@Firnagzen Could we just do a bunch of small question updates and adjust our questions from there?

Seriously, this is affecting her enough that she grimaces when her suspicions are confirmed, and her first action is to take us aside to talk to us.
It is probable that she knows the lichbomb. It is plausible that she has been witchbombed. It is certain that she understands, viscerally and completely, that being meguca is suffering. Whatever memories she has, they're strong enough that they still affect her twenty-ish years later.
No corny puns here. No theatrics. Her primary motivation right now, strong enough that she was willing to confront us directly about being magical girls, is that she is concerned for the safety of her daughter and her daughter's friends. And that means that helping her and reassuring her is our primary goal in this conversation.
Even beyond that... what do we want out of this? We've wanted an adult sympathizer forever. It would make things so much easier. We have one here for us... as long as we remain on friendly terms with her and can convince her that we are A Force For Good. We want her protective instincts behind us rather than in front of us. So being compassionate and reassuring is, beyond being the right thing to do, is our best play from a rational perspective.

I have been convinced that transforming in from of her is a bad idea on discord.
[] Yes.
-[] Visibly transform our soul gem from ring to gem
-[] Explain the current situation (eg Mami rules Mitakihara, Sayaka is a meguca, Kazumi's group is visiting from Asurano)
-[] Her daughter is aware but only became so recently - she doesn't have the potential to become a magical girl so you don't have to worry
-[] Explain who we are (eg probable wish construct, our wish and powers)
-[] Hint about the potential danger of exposing meguca to infohazards like the Kazumi group potentially not knowing the true nature of soul gems in case she knows the witchbomb)
-[] Hint at our plans (eg meguca apartments?)
[] Yes.

In light of that, we may want to offer our sympathies. We don't know how close she was to whatever meguca she knew, but we can bet the experience ended in tragedy.

On a side note, which is rather off topic at the moment: there were some ideas about Mamis ribbons being used as AND/OR gates for some tech to make a computer that can run on nothing but magic. Can we use a Mami ribbon that is enchanted to split the AND/OR enchantment every time the ribbon itself is split, along with our nano-cloud, to make a pseudo-femtotech processor without bothering to use matter at all?

I know it might be sort of cold, but if she is a ex-MG then she probably met with the only soul manipulator we know of. We could use her as a source of data.

Replanning is our job as voters! Voting to replan is nonsensical!
Unlikely enough that it's not worth planning for.

Well, we should probably include Mami and now Hitomi's mother as part of the planning process, so let's not do all of the replanning ourselves.

That line is mostly for her benefit. Letting her know that we were planning to bring her in I think is a good step. It gives us a smooth transition into asking questions with the implicit understanding that we're already on her side, where a more direct approach might raise her suspicions or make us appear defensive.

Note that despite being 3 of the strongest girls on the planet, that didn't stop Kirika from breaking Hitomi's arm. Since we are so strong, that means potential opponents are more likely to hurt us via our friends, so we need to be careful that this doesn't look like false bravado.
Maybe rephrase this in a way that does not imply hidden knowledge? If she knows about the infohazards, she knows not to mention them. If she does not know about infohazards it is counterproductive to hint at them. Maybe change it to something like "You know huh? So, what's your story?"?

I'll clarify the vote when I get more time, but the intent of "it probably hurt" was a note to Sabrina formalizing the inference I made in the discussion preceding the vote and telling Sabrina the context of the compassion, sympathy, and support she needs to be offering. From there let Brinapilot handle it; she's good at it and she has an OODA loop that's about 10x faster than ours.
Another observation: Hitomom knows enough about meguca social and political dynamics to identify Sabrina and Mami as the People In Charge of this group. Didn't look there was even much question in her mind. Also relevant, not just Mami, but Mami and Sabrina. Mami's obvious, but I'm not quite so sure that Sabrina is an obvious Leader when she's not wulfenbaching.

We can't be sure of that.
Maybe she saw her friend witch out but never quite grasped how emotions effect soul gems. Maybe her friend wasn't phased by the lichbomb.

[] Do not, at any point, tell Hitomom "not to worry" or anything in such a vein. She probably wouldn't appreciate that.
[] That makes this easier, you suppose. You have something of a business proposal. But perhaps you could speak privately? Tone: be serious foremost, but friendly.
-[] Privately:
--[] Make certain Hitomom isn't witchbombed, or that she isn't going to spread it around.
--[] You mean to keep Hitomi and Madoka out of this, although to your knowledge, Hitomi is not a potential.
-[] In either a public or private setting:
--[] A bunch of meguca will be coming to Mitakihara in the near future; we'd like to secure at least temporary housing for them and can pay for it.
---[] If asked, be honest about our funding source. Future incomes are foreseeable from other sources if needed (powers -> materials -> currency)
--[] Convey info on our powers.
