On a side note, in addition to a general welfare check and such, when we get a chance to talk to Homura we need to ask her if she knows of any other Yakuza targets we can hit. We're getting short on spending money.


Though if her Dad was competent in stealing, he should've managed to get a lot of money, and I do say "a lot".
They live in a mansion with a rose garden big enough to park an excavator in and a gazebo for taking afternoon tea. That would cost tens of millions of dollars in the U.S. In Japan?
 
Putting forth some ideas:

[X] Tracking:
-[X] The same ribbon method that Mami used to track Anri should also work to let Sayaka track Oriko and Kirika. If they leave the areas we designate or break the connection, she'd know immediately.

(I don't see a need for any wild ideas about animal sidekicks when we already know this works.)

[X] Where to move them:
-[X] Move back in with Kirika's parents? Would they accept their daughter's lesbian lover, even if she's rich?
-[X] Oriko's warehouse hideout?
-[X] What to do with Oriko's house?
--[X] Does Sayaka want to burn it down? Only seems fair.
--[X] Does Sayaka want to keep it? Only seems fair.
--[X] Use it for refugee housing?
--[X] Sell it to pay back all the people displaced by the apartment fire?

(It wasn't only the Miki family that lived in that building, after all.)

[X] Regardless of O&K, the issues of a justice system are still something we need to address:
-[X] Getting adults involved?
-[X] Is this something Sayaka would want to share with her parents?
--[X] Would she want Oriko to confess to them?
-[X] Legal scholars? Maybe the Shizukis know somebody?
-[X] We really do need a psychologist to try and rehabilitate people like Anri. We can't just imprison her for life, especially when meguca are effectively immortal. Have to try to cure her.

(We should not let this be forgotten. We desperately need a shrink.)
Why no lie detector. Why.
 
If she can't, we can help her with that. I mean, the whole thing is about "restitution", "redemption", "responsibility" and other "re"-s, and if Oriko genuinely recognizes that Arson is Bad, then yakuza we can share. Though if her Dad was competent in stealing, he should've managed to get a lot of money, and I do say "a lot".

We'll see.
Recycle.

We've agreed to hit another Yakuza base soon-ish.

I'm not sure about details, but I remember when we talked about it, we asked if she wanted to go then and there, but she just looked at us.
 
In Homura's eyes? "Do you intend to hurt Madoka?" "Do you anticipate that changing in the future?"

That won't help with Sayaka, but we have much more leverage over her and we can hope to appeal to her principles.

Right, and that's the issue. Because the only honest answer Oriko can give to that is "if necessary, yes." Oriko would absolutely kill Madoka if she thought that otherwise Madoka would become Gretchen and, y'know, kill everyone on Earth.

"anticipate" is asking her to make a probabilistic prediction, not to invent spurious hypotheticals. Even disregarding that, Oriko thinks Madoka is required to save the world. If Madoka's continued survival dooms the world, then the world is doomed no matter what and we can probably get Oriko to agree not to do anything in that case, which lets her truthfully say "no" to the second question.

I do not recall this. I remember us asking if she wanted to go on an long-distance arsenal-stealing trip, but not about more yakuza raids.


EDIT: Searching the story only thread for "yakuza" did not turn up any mentions of it.

Depends on what JSDF base we hit when (nation states have these things called gold reserves, that they sometimes leave under armed guard in supposedly secure locales).
We have an at least 100m^4 radius of extra-dimensional storage space. At this point, we can't just steal from the base, we can steal the base.

We are the Azure San Francisco. She is us.
