@Onmur , good points rolling in, let me stir them
Our first day with Anri is a bit haphazard. Lessen the burden, have Oriko converse with her in your presence about brining her personal effects away right now. It will give us some observation time of the two talking. Kirika stays in MOF with us, maybe Mami goes down with Oriko, check items for escape tool / other risks. Otherwise, if she has a few favorite items (and you already know what one will be?) those may help her calm down. Just offering may help, even if she has no belongings. Don't try a conversation without Oriko present yet. Check on Aurora to productively multi-task. This furthers our position as the worthwhile deal for Anri - she can see us messing about with Grief seeds already. If she wants to talk about it, we tell her not yet, there are rules and restrictions to the work.
Hiring Fukushima might take a dozen Seeds? So we should just hire the lot of them, exclusively. That is more like the value of the Clear Seed.
@The Phoenixian - If Oriko makes a space for them to billet, we can arrange a rotation between on-deck with Anri, off duty at the former Mikuni mansion. In exchange, we will ask Homura to grant them three patrols a week around outer parts of the city. She sets the routes and schedules, as is only right. That should keep O&K in verified locations and away from Madoka. Expect frequent commuting as the hired girls swap out. It will actually be better, as we will get some interaction time with the girls from out of town, without us traveling. We need relationship points for when things ramp up. If Homura doesn't like this, then our request for Fukushima will be to re-supply the residents, and notify if they leave.
We should make a Homura moment tonight for face-to-face interaction with her. She is our respected peer, and a heck of a significant part of what we are, and what we do. And it has become mutual. Not really any defined place to even consider "how we are handling her." It isn't a superficial relationship.
First thing we must do is have either Homura or ourselves listen to the immigrant's story once, lightly. Enough to understand if they may be Witchbombed already. That, and the standing compartmentalization talk might need to happen before others get in on the welcome wagon. Perhaps Nadia can be tested at the very same time.
@blast flame , Yes, Mami is the lead girl in Mitakihara, if anyone should ask us. We apologize for taking her away to help the neighbors, which went well. We need to have Mami set up her welcome conditions now, so we all understand them. After that, her experience is key. This is exactly where we should watch her do it right, Ojou Power is a thing. Prototyping the points it needs to include... Suspecting that we want them to "expect to behave as if they are subject to all the normal laws, with limited exceptions. Minor property damage (Sabrina, looking at you....), purposeful trespass, heroic deeds, not currently our problem." "All hunting is O.K., but optional. Save normals from Witches. Seeds do not get disposed of, call Sabrina. Cleansing and clearing are free. Hugs are free. Emergency healing is free. Combat with other girls only at athletic matches, ask us more later. Magic use encouraged, once a suitable location is assigned. Expect to become part of our community, not optional. You are the second and third volunteers, but not the last." "Penguin rule: Don't Swim Alone! In this city we want to live with Magical Girls. Don't risk it. Always call for help at the first sign of disturbance."
Promise them contacts and other courtesy to get into school, identities, whatever. Schedule another talk with them later.
OTOH, if we just got Rufus to handle all our new characters, including Anri, it could be most excellent,
@Torgamous
Our current logistics will have O&K watching Anri in the MOF for much of the day. What is a better alternative? Homura tags out after Shiogama welcome committee, and hops to Warehouse with them all? They set up, and we come there to ferry O&K away, while our help travels in to get hired? Sabrina and Mami will be sleeping in the warehouse tonight....
