OK, so... are we going now? Or are we waiting?

If we go now, we could... wake up everyone so we can get their input... or not.

Maybe after getting the details from Niko, tell her to stick close to the rest of the Pleiades and go back to sleep?

There's a problem in that going there right now... might not achieve anything, as Asunaro is a city, so we're unlikely to just find Hijiri by flying around.

... If it really is Hijiri who stole the Seed (if the Seed was stolen).

We should also keep in mind the Pleiades are meguca, and they can pull their own weight. So telling them to stick together and going back to sleep could work rather well.
 
I'm definitely voting for go now. Whoever stole that Clear Seed is a threat to the Pleiades and to our plans for peaceful distribution, and we need to make sure they understand that shit isn't going to fly.

Not to mention the danger if it's one of the villains active in the city. It may not be, but if it is we need to stomp their operation into the ground before they become Lex Luthor-guca and develop Grief Kryptonite like Kirika.

... Idea: Ask Sakura for help, so we can move back and forth between Mitakihara and Asunaro as needed.

After all, if we're gonna search a whole city for one meguca thief, that's likely gonna take a long time. Not something we can do now and be back before 10, or to do in between 10 and 15.

So, if Niko's health wasn't targeted, go the fuck back to sleep. The Pleiade can start searching for the culprit in the morning, and we can join them later.



[] Calm down Kazumi. Telepathy conference with Kazumi, Mami, Kaoru, Umika, and Niko.
-[] Ask pointed questions: Is Niko hurt? Does she know what was stolen and broken? When could the robbery have happened, and has this happened before?
-[] Ask everyone back at Asunaro to stick together.
[] Check the time.

-[] If Niko wasn't hurt, reassure everyone of that fact, and ask them to go back to sleep. Ask her and the rest of the Pleiades to start searching for the culprit in the morning. While sticking together.

[] In the morning, pull everyone into telepathy, including Oriko and Kirika. Then include Rin and Sakura, too.
-[] Inform everyone of what happened, and ask the Sendai meguca for Sakura's help. You might need to move back and forth between Mitakihara and Asunaro a few times.

[] Plan how to deal with the situation.
-[] Ask Oriko and Kirika to help. Argue that you need all hands on deck; you know of a few very dangerous magical girls who could be the culprit.
-[] You'll go with Kazumi, Kaoru and Umika after you receive the Shiogama girls..
-[] Mami can join after school, with Sakura's help.
-[] Ask Sayaka if she wants to join.

Way I see, it, we're not at the point where we should commit yet. We still need to assess the situation and solve everything that can be solved by just talking.


I think that, plus some preliminary preparation, is this vote. (For instance, do we want to consider taking Oriko and/or Kirika? If so we should probably mention them and their role in our intervention.)

Once we have a handle on everything then we can decide for certain.

We'll also need to select people to leave behind. For one thing, if we go we will need people in Mitakihara to hold the fort and deal with our responsibilities here in case Asunaro is in a sensitive place and we can't afford to leave it when Nadia arrives.
 
Better to ask Sakura to give/sell us a copy of her power, rather than ask her to ferry us around.

We need ways to make Sayaka feel useful, and putting her on transportation duty will do that.
We also want to minimize contact with Sakura, especially woken-up-early!Sakura.

I would feel more strongly about this if it weren't, apparently, a fifteen-minute flight to and from Asunaro.

Setting Sayaka up with teleport powers also factors into my "move Oriko and Kirika to an unmapped island somewhere and leave them there until they recover so they stop stressing Homura out" plan. I know Sayaka doesn't like Oriko, but I'll bet she'd be willing to cooperate with actions that actively remove Oriko from Mitakihara.

OK, if we were going for a full vote, I'd go for something like this:

[] Calm down Kazumi. Telepathy conference with Kazumi, Mami, Kaoru, Umika, and Niko.
-[] Ask pointed questions: Is Niko hurt? Does she know what was stolen and broken? When could the robbery have happened, and has this happened before?
-[] Ask everyone back at Asunaro to stick together at all times.

[] If Niko wasn't hurt, reassure everyone of that fact, and ask everyone to go back to sleep.
-[] Searching for the culprit can start in the morning.

[] In the morning, telepathy conference: Include all your friends, including non-meguca, Oriko, and Kirika. Also include Rin and Sakura.
-[] Explain the situation to everyone, including that you're tied up until 10 AM.
-[] Ask Oriko and Kirika to help. You need all hands on deck.
-[] Ask Rin and Sakura to help. You might need Oriko's arm healed, and transport back and forth between Asunaro and Mitakihara.

For now, voting for short update.

@Onmur Can you add checking everyone's witch names while we're at it? It's a good easy way for us to detect if someone ever gets replaced by Airi Anri.
I guess it can't hurt.

[] Calm down Kazumi. Telepathy conference with Kazumi, Mami, Kaoru, Umika, and Niko.
-[] Ask pointed questions: Is Niko hurt? Does she know what was stolen and broken? When could the robbery have happened, and has this happened before?
-[] Ask everyone back at Asunaro to stick together at all times.

-[] Searching for the culprit can start in the morning.
-[] Check Kazumi's, Kaoru's and Umika's Witch names.

@Shadowhisker, @Muramasa, @Zeroth Jupi, @AuraTwilight

I'm hopping onto the 'go back to sleep' train, as I don't believe rushing right now would help when we need to hunt a lone meguca in a big city.

(If Niko wasn't actually hurt, at least).

Hmm... All right. I'd personally prefer to take action now, but I'm to tired to work up an argument.

EDIT: Yeah, when I think about it, I agree with Redshirt. Don't want to commit to a response when we know so little. So for right now,

[X] Null

I don't think commiting to any response, including going back to sleep, is a good idea with this little information.

I think the Pleiades would take blowing off their concerns badly at this point, too.
OK, idea:



[X] Calm down Kazumi. Telepathy conference with Kazumi, Mami, Kaoru, Umika, and Niko.
-[X] Ask pointed questions: Is Niko hurt? Does she know what was stolen and broken? When could the robbery have happened, and has this happened before?
-[X] Ask everyone back at Asunaro to stick together at all times.

[X] Ask everyone if they want to fly back and start hunting down the culprit now, or would rather wait until morning.
-[X] Check Kazumi's, Kaoru's and Umika's Witch names.
 
.... we really need a crisis center to meet in

like with tea and big TV's to bring maps up etc etc.

We should ask Hitomi if they have a spare office somewhere we can borrow later.
 
[X] Ask everyone if they want to fly back and start hunting down the culprit now, or would rather wait until morning.

Maybe:

[ ] Depending on the severity of the situation, as a group, determine how immediate any reaction needs to be. (On a scale of "worth telling them about timestop" to "it can wait till morning".)

More neutral in terms of judgement.

I think we can get their opinions, and make a decision next vote?

Another pro of taking Oriko along to Asunaro.

Her being free to walk in the open without people metaphorically throwing shit at her.
 
Yeah, this sounds dire, but we need more info to be sure. We don't even know if the clear seed was taken.

...Actually, what if the culprit IS the clear seed? How fast does Niko work?

"Poke... Oops, I dewitched it!"

"Hi there! My name is Joan Tart, Heroine of France- Wait, what are you-!"

"Get back in there, I'm not done dissecting your soul yet and you're presenting an ethical quandary! Just go back inside, dammit!"

Kanna Hijiri prefers to work through proxies; we don't know how many Hyades has, but Airi is the most likely culprit of the ones we know, either herself or through Evil Nut patsies. Remember, this wasn't just a smash-and-grab, Niko was attacked, and it's implied she lives alone, so Saki and the others wouldn't be immediately to hand as reinforcements. This is something that needs to be rectified going forward, as Niko is and always has been a VIP with a target painted on her back.

I'd favor an immediate and decisive response: Homura should know the stakes, since (if I recall correctly) we told her about the potential both for Dawn of Hyades being created and for the Pleiades helping us crack dewitching; we can explain to her that Niko is the key operator in that regard. Also, Homu doesn't sleep, she waits. We can ring her up immediately, discuss the situation, and decide whether to bring the Pleiades with us when we hyperjet in, but Asunaro is absolutely a snowball situation-- if we don't nip Hijiri's horseshit in the bud, things will spiral out of control.

Also, consider the following: The Asunaro Purge is likely to have inadvertently neutralized quite a few of Hijiri's contacts and proxies. Asunaro is implied to be overpopulated with meguca, and the/one of the primary power blocs in the city is currently at half strength. We expected someone to move on them while Kazumi and co. were away.
 
I'm with Happening. We need to drop in there and make them feel like they pissed off the USA and now the whole damn Air Force, Army, and Navy are knocking at their door, and there may or may not be a Marine breaching charge on the other side of the kitchen. They feel like they're sitting on a throne of gold, we tell them to look down, look back, the Throne is now made of TNT, and we're holding the match.

They just stole a rightfully gifted Clear Seed. I.E. Attempted theft of a Weapon of Mass Despair. We need to go in like Seal Team Six and so completely ruin their day that Meguca six prefectures away are whispering about how you don't fuck with the Mitakihara girls and sure as hell don't fuck around with Clear Seeds.

This is going to Tokyo too. Let's show them why they don't have to be afraid of anyone trying to powerplay and horde Clear Seeds. We Are the Power Play.
 
Mami should go to school since she can trust Kazumi and her friends with Sabrina or the other way around.
We could just get Homu to time drop us off then back to Madoka.

We should get Yuuki to hack err check the Shizuki's company in depth just in case.
Honesty it would be interesting if they're a front for Yakuza since Sabrina can deal with it more cold manner since they're adults and its organized crime.
