Point of order: where do we put Anri on the way back?
Do we need to specifically vote for that, though?

Anri's anti-magick'd and her powerset doesn't quite contain hax anyway. She's a very strong fighter, but as long as she's restrained and kept away from everyone else, like we did with Hijiri, it's all fine, right?
 
I thought Rin's eyes/soul gem were green?

It would be trivial for us to create a separate compartment in the MOF to transport Anri, maybe with a Sayaklone to watch her.

I went with an in-between of eye and hair colour for her.

She's so weird, having different eye and hair colour, who does she think she is?

I mean, besides obviously being that mysterious meguca who's gonna kill Oriko. Obviously. :V

Oriko grimaces. "You must understand, if it's a magical girl, then it happens... early. But of the already few times that it is a magical girl... many times, it's Akemi Homura. Other times, Miki Sayaka. Seldom, it's a blonde magical girl with long hair, and green eyes."
See, blonde, green eyes. Open and shut case, if you ask me. :V :V

Inb4 the whole 'windows match the curtains' phenomena only occurs in those of asian and primarily japanese descent. Everyone else in the world sees it as just one of those weird japanese things.

Maybe it's how you tell apart the real people from those weird people that come from extra-canonical continuities.

Basically, people with different eye and hair colour are aliens.

[Q] Tell Mami you're an alien.

Homu gets a pass, tho.
 
Oh god.

Oh my fucking god...

I just realized.

Hijiri's meguca costume HAS PANTS.

I... how? I don't even? It doesn't make sense, so many things about reality don't fit together.

Hijiri has pants.

Pants are how you know the guca are crazy. I mean, look at us. :V
This does raise a problem.

I'm checking because in the Day Planner we've got two Taniguchis, both from Tokyo. We've got two Taniguchis because we're not sure there are two, or whether there's one Taniguchi that was mentioned at different points, for different purposes.

So we've got a Taniguchi Emi, from North Tokyo, who's got Boundary Manipulation powers, and likes to pass herself as Yakumo Yukari.

We've also got a 'Taniguchi', from Tokyo, who wears pants.

Now, I believe the main reason why we suppose there are two Taniguchis is that, well, Yakumo Yukari does not wear pants. That'd be crazy.

But that's just it. Now that you bring up this insightful point, we need to realize both Taniguchis are the same person.

Because Taniguchi wears pants, showing the fact she's crazy, and Taniguchi pretends she is Yakumo Yukari, which is crazy!

It all makes sense once you think things this way.

EDIT: Relevant quotes:
Homura gives her a gimlet stare, before looking at Mami. "One of the Tokyo girls?" she suggests.

Mami claps her hands together. "Ah! You're right, Homura! Uhh... Taniguchi, I think?"

"Actually pants?" you ask, raising an eyebrow.

"It would have been... good to have Hamasaki," Homura says, frowning. "It doesn't matter. The ones from Fukushima: Akiyama, Koizumi and Nishimura. Taniguchi Emi from North Tokyo, she's a..." She trails off, pursing her lips.

"Homura?" you prompt, raising a curious eyebrow.

"Do you know... the Touhou games?" she says, slowly and hesitantly.

"... yes?" you say, second eyebrow joining the first.

"Taniguchi likes to pretend to be Yakumo Yukari," Homura explains, still hesitant. "Her powers are... not dissimilar. Within reason."
 
Also, since this made me remember we need to go recruit the meguca Homu's told us about...

Homu's face once she realizes Oriko will be the one actually doing the recruiting. :D

...

Like, geez. Poor Homu.

[hughomu] Remember to hug the Homu.

This... Is not okay.

1) Mami missed school. She's going to want to get caught up on her work, etcetera, and we need to facilitate that. Sayaka or someone at school should get stuff for her, unless--
1.5) Mami missed part of school. She could go in after we get back if she wanted to. In fact, by WoG it's about 9:50 AM right now and MMS started at 7:30.

2) Nobody here has eaten anything since dinner last night.

3) We want to meet up with the newcomers at some point. As Homura is currently on that, it would be bad to bring Oriko, Kirika, and/or Anri.

4) Most likely, nobody here has thought about what they intend to do for the rest of the day except us. We all got up in the middle of the night and rushed over to Asunaro and everyone has been either yelling at people or throwing around magic ever since.

I'm going to suggest a new approach here, which basically is going to be "instead of having these conversations while flying back to Mitakihara, let's instead talk about what we're going to do when we get back to Mitakihara and lay groundwork for having these conversations when people are free for the rest of the day.

(Legend: [V] means I'm omitting it because word count.)

[X] Niko: politely, gently turn her down.

-[X] If Mami wants to go in to school, you'll show up with a bento and fresh tea for her at noon.

-[V] There's a lot to talk about after this, but it should wait for the moment.
[X] Say goodbyes, hugs, etc. Leave.
[X] Improve Anti-magic charm as per thread.
[X] Tell Kirika about magic mingling via telepathy.
-[X] O&K: you're going to speak with the team about getting them more privileges later today.
--[X] If you could put them up in an apartment out of town with full mobility...?

148 words.

Note that I believe we can both do what we need to do wrt Anri / newcomers as well as make bento / tea for Mami if we keep things short on both ends and don't go back to the apartment to cook. Use a mobile grief-based kitchen. People won't mind as long as we explain why we're in a hurry.

Mami going to school is the plan. Meeting the Shiogama girls, too. And Nadia, we need to prod Nadia for witchbomb status because if she is witchbombed, then she would more readily be able to help find Anri a guard.

The reason I'm not voting to call the Fukushima girls just yet is exactly that. We could just go with the Fukushima (we've got business pending anyway), but we've (maybe) less of a guarantee, then.


I guess food is a thing. >_>

I guess we need to wait for Oriko to be done with Anri, so we can chat with Mami and Sayaka while we wait.

Also, if we want a guard for Anri today, we're gonna need to go to Fukushima. We can wait until afternoon, if we don't want to miss lunch with Mami, I guess.

... I don't think this is actually a 'new' approach? It fits pretty well with what's planned already. And actually, I guess we do need to postpone some things, like offering Sayaka the Witchbomb, simply due to time constrains?

Vote V.605.1.09 or so. :V

[X] Niko.
-[X] Gently disagree. It can be an useful, voluntary therapy tool, or a better 'last resort'.

You know what would be great? If Oriko picked up food.
"Oh!" Kirika says. "Shopping!"

"Ah, yes," Oriko nods. "Sabrina, could we trouble you to look after the bags? It would be... less than conducive, to have these within sight."

Extending

Room for more concerns, if these are a good start. Best fate for the Memory Field Device is storage with us, and best secondary choice is to isolate Kyuubey from Madoka. We don't have any other good way to control this weapon ATM.
Say yes to Niko, keep Niko engaged, by asking her for something we need. Maybe an even more difficult construct. She seems to think in terms of weapons, so battlefield information tech might be a great subject to get her on. Scanners, to let all of us get even better situational awareness, and see odd things other girls might enchant before we are spellbound by them. Niko might be in an arms race without knowing it. Our custody will be more secure if searching for an escapee if fast and easy, as well. Radar is fundamental.

Set up our destination before we hit the road, it is likewise just common sense.

Break our fast at a street food place, all together, carry out?

We are going to hold Anri, we should know if anyone will miss her. Find out now.

Pay for Hijiri to get educated. Nadia is the travel pro, we want to let her answer questions from Hijiri at some point. The truth of the world will only help our cause.
 
Wait, who is that actually?
We don't know; we know that Oriko's powers predicted her inevitable death, either by Feathers, Homura, Sayaka, Sabrina, or some meguca with blonde hair and green eyes.

Meanwhile, Rin does have blonde hair and green eyes, but if it was her, I believe Oriko would've said so by now, so we simply don't know who this mysterious Orikiller meguca is.
 
*abruptly delurks*

Did you know there's Magical Girls who Wished to be fictional characters? I know we're, well, Magical Girls, but can you imagine walking down the street and meeting, I don't know, Sailor Moon? Or Nanoha?

Since I've been on a bit of a DDLC kick the past few days, this line made me wonder: what if someone wished to be Monika?
 
[X] Onmur

Kaizuki and Onmur have pretty similar votes at this point, but I like that Onmur involves Mami in talking about O&K.

Also, wouldn't an out-of-town apartment have Feathers problems?
 
Since I've been on a bit of a DDLC kick the past few days, this line made me wonder: what if someone wished to be Monika?

Not really an issue in PMAS, since it's only 2011 in universe. That said, if Monikaguca's magic treats reality as just a computer program, I wonder what she could do if she partnered with a hackerguca?
 
On the other hand, Monika is defined by her limitations and set-backs, so imagine reality having a much harsher rubber band effect than other Magical Girls.
