Fielding questions, as I understand it:
1) This is not baking goods thread. Obviously. Whatever that means. Buuuuut Mami does bake goods, and we do help her, so it's "baking goods with Mami" thread, as well.
2) I don't think Mami would allow anyone in the vicinity of her kitchenware if she didn't date them, so since it's "baking goods with Mami" thread, Sabrina logically dates Mami Tomoe.

It looks like my semester of philosophy is finally paying off.
 
Darnation, it's too late.

If only I had realized this sooner... I'm sorry to inform you all that Sayaka has been taken over by the pigeon people.

I realized this earlier but didn't have a chance to vote, and now it's too late. At least, I can explain.

See, the previous update we saw Sayaka standing around with a pigeon on her head. At the time we took this as a simple humorous action, but failed to consider the implications.

Would Sayaka make a fool of herself for fun? Probably, she is, after all, a fool.

But think this? Isn't there a far more simple and logical explanation for this event? An obvious explanation, dare I say?

Wouldn't someone who doesn't understand the intrincacies of human societies be far more unprepared to act like a normal human being in a strict society and more likely to draw attention to themselves, without even realizing their error?

What I have realized is obvious, too late, far too late, is that Sayaka, while talking with random animals to set up a watch network, became frustrated with her efforts when her targets appeared 'dumb' towards her requests, and not knowing this was a mere ruse by a low level pigeon agent, attempted to turn her mind editing powers to upgrade said agent's mind, and facilitate communication.

But Sayaka thought she was dealing with a small brained creature, and the application of her power was wholly inadequate to deal with the naturally quantum enhanced mind of the pigeon people.

Thus, in a moment of distraction, the low level pigeon agent was able to turn Sayaka's uneducated mind altering attempts against her.

Now this pigeon has complete control of Sayaka's mind.

It flying away was it recognizing, perhaps thanks to interacting with us, natural enemies of birds, that it was acting in a suspicious manner.

Comrades, I call you all to drop our current plans of action and pursue the pigeon threat. Quickly, before Sayaka's very Soul is consumed, if it hasn't been already.

Luckily we do have an excuse to give Oriko for why we stopped by: telling them that we've arranged for a loosening of their house arrest.
 
On a non-pigeon related note... Is Firn playing us?

The diary was in a wholly different place than in the manga. It wasn't even hidden.

@Firnagzen is there dust on the diary, or is it suspiciously not as dust covered as everything else?
 
She went straight to the last page. Either she assumed that the worst dirt would be the last thing that he wrote down, or she already knew. Maybe knew and then erased it from her own memory? "Forgetting" things that were irrelevant to making Oriko happy was something she could do in the manga.
 
Soooo, I guess we're gonna respect Oriko's affairs' privacy and not read the diary?

Though we should learn the relevant parts once Sadness Prayer 4 is translated? :V
 
What would happen if we read the diary then the manga turned out to be something completely different?
I was thinking if we wait, Firn can use the canon if he likes; otherwise, we'll see what he's thought up by himself.

The raws from SP4 point towards the involvement of head of the main house of which the Mikunis are a side branch.

That's all we know for now.
 
Everybody Sayaka knows must now live with the possibility that every small critter in the vicinity is listening in, waiting for something to happen that Sayaka can then use to tease people. Still waiting for Sayaka having a heated argument with a squirrel, though.
 
The enemy has many spies in her service. Birds, beasts.

Sayaka will need a fashion upgrade now. Some cap or hat, if she wants to keep up being a roost. Also, are critters able to see Kyuubey without interference?

"Do I have to pretend to be asleep much longer?" Oriko's voice speaks in your head.

"... I don't know what you're talking about?" you say,

Is Sabrina trying to score Oujo points here? Mirth! Bewilderment!

THIS is where the cop-movie analogy can come into play! Squirrel takes on the role of unwilling informant / amphetamine addict, Sayaka has to corner the flaky dude to get her intel.

Good god, Oriko and Kirika are fucking adorable together.

And Kirika's method of cooking is hilarious.

Glad to see she picked up the maid outfit trick from us. We'll have to use that for Mami soon.
 
[] Oblige Kirika
-[] Burn the fucking thing ( discreetly).

I don't think there's anything we need to know about Oriko's Dad and his affairs. Not when he seems like a guy who would give Gendo a good run for his money in the "Worst Parenting Ever" nomination.

It isn't wrong to read a bit, as we will be involved in her issues for a long while. We might gain insight that will help. And then, we mulch/burn/erase such a thing.... Daddy dearest obviously left a last message if the diary was waiting on his desk. It may be actively hurtful, of might simply be hypocritical. My only concern, would be that Oriko already read this a long time ago. Knowing what 'poisoned' her will help her therapist, IMHO. Sabrina is able to arrange things Kirika cannot, such as that.

Didn't Sayaka request proof?
Interesting, but contentious if done wrong. Beware inciting Drama?

Nope. Excuse me, Muramasa, but I don't think showing Hisaomi's diary to Sayaka is a good idea.

Leaving moral and ethical concerns aside, if Kirika ever finds out, she'd do her damned best to murder us and Sayaka.

Edit: I'd have suggested mailing the diary to the nearest police station, but since Kirika obviously doesn't want Oriko to find out and explicitly trusts us to get rid of it, nopity nope.
