We really need some kind of mobile internet so we can do our Google and our IRC while traveling, because I swear, most of our 'free' time is spent in transit or on telepathy-talk, both of which are things that we could probably multitask during.

In terms of transit, we then have speed restrictions even if we had the coverage (the first source I found with the info for 3g/4g said 200 km/h, which while not bad, is still slower then we are traveling atm), but we still defently need a good phone for interneting

She's demonstrated some info-gathering capability in the past. Although I'm still wondering if the Shizuki's, being rich, might know of someone exclusive and discreet that the wealthy and powerful use.

Yuma: No! I don't want to leave big sis!
Grandparents: Big sis?
>Meet Kyouko<
Grandparents: Oh aren't you adorable *dot on Kyouko*
Kyouko: .... wut

But Kyouko snaps!

"I don't need you doting on me!" she yells at the old married couple!

The poor grandpa's heart clenches in pain.

Unaware of the effect her sudden yelling had, Kyouko turns away grandly, and addresses the reunited family of three over her shoulder:

"I'll be fine on my own. You just make sure to take care of Yuma, and don't die too soon, old peeps."

"But I want big sis Kyouko to stay!" yells a desconsolate Yuma.

Red eyes meet blue for one long second.

Kyouko turns and walk away, an echo of finapity resounding with each step's worth of distance she puts between her former protege and herself.

"You've got a real family now, Yuma," the redhead's voice seems to fade away as she leaves, "not a fuck up like me or your mom. It's better this way..."

The old grandma, having watched the scene with wisened eyes, finally speaks up once more:

"Wouldn't you accept a cookie before leaving, young Sakura?"

Kyouko stops midstep, one foot frozen an inch above the ground.

"If not a cookie, perhaps a slice of cake?"

Almost magically, Kyouko turns on her heel, allowing her foot to step forward towards Yuma and her grandparents, the redhead's long hair snapping around with the movement.

"I guess I could have a slice," she grumbles, grabbing a Yuma missile before she crashes onto her. The little girl's arms wrap around Kyouko, her head buried into her big sis' belly. "I mean, I have to make sure they'll feed you well, and not make you eat, say, raisins..."

The old couple smiled.

"Our little Yuma really cares for that girl."

"Yes," nodded the old man, "it wouldn't be a problem to keep her around. We've got enough savings..."

"Now listen here, old man," snapped Kyouko, disentangling herself from a teary eyed Yuma, "you can't just buy me with food. I got a home, you know?"

"I see," he nodded, no hint of judgement in his eyes.

"So I might drop by to check on Yuma-"

"And eat our sweets," chimmed in the grandma.

"But that's all, you hear me?" grunted the blushing Kyouko.

"That will be..."

"... Just fine."

The old couple smiled together, one smile stretched across two faces.

Yuma clung to Kyouko's hand.

Kyouko visited every day for lunch. And dinner. And sometimes for tea, if she wasn't still hanging around after lunch.

I mean, probably. I'm mostly thinking we want a dossier so we have a good idea of how things generally are in the area, so we go into the discussion with the Shizuki's having some idea of what we're talking about, as opposed to relying on OOC information that may not be fully accurate in PMAS's rendition of Japan. Pre-preparation and increasing our credibility and showing we're taking this seriously, with notes and specific questions and whatnot. We want a serious talk where we're taken seriously, we go into it as such. Kind of like a business meeting or a job interview, except more casual. Probably.

Relatedly, we do probably want to have talking points written up about how we're explaining meguca to Hitomi's dad, and in general any points of conversation that we want to make sure we remember to explain or decide to avoid, e.g. possibly infohazards that they should avoid even talking or speculating about or trying to figure out, ever, in case someone not-bombed overhear, or stuff like that.
 
We need to bother Homumom to have that trip to the Amazing Yakuzaland.

We need our allowance, mom! Gotta get a shiny new phone. Flipphones are so 4 years ago.

Inb4 Sabrina spends all day chatting with foreigngucas.



"... Yes?"

"I'm glad you like your new phone -which I could've bought you- but..."

"..."

"..."

"... Yeah, Mami?"

"I feel you're not paying enough attention to me anymore."

*Crushes phone*

"Oops! I think I gripped it too hard, don't know my own strenght, what with being two weeks old, you know? I feel so bad and guilty about breaking it."

*Gives Sabrina comforting hugs*

*Hugs Mami*

"You were telling me about science class?"

"Oh, right..."

Not gonna lie, I'm really not a fan of leaving Mami with just a chibi. I also don't think talking to Kyouko about the church thing is urgent.

Discussing the Iowa group, working on speckled enchantment equipment, and progressing towards artificial grief seed substitutes are all long overdue. The last one is particularly important, given we're gonna be Witchbombing Sayaka soon.

I agree, prefer staying with Mami over leaving a chibi. Makes science more efficient, too.

What about Riona? Just not dealing with her right now?

We decided not to contact her until she shows up in Mitakihara or contacts us, yes. That said...

In retrospect, did kyouko also develope a rep for holding her own city?

Still want to see kyouko meet sakura the teleport for a swear off. About sabrina. Too Nice impression vs meddler impression.

Sending Sayaka with a Seed is not a sufficient replacement for the cleansing that we promised Kyouko. Once she uses it to cleanse the grief she accumulates training Sayaka, it won't leave much for her and Yuma to live on.

[X] (Background) Kyouko:
-[X] How's their grief seed status? Is she cool using Sayaka's Clear Seed after training?

[X] Sayaka:
-[X] Give payment and seeds (bird and grief). Ask her to check on their Grief status, and to copy Yuma's power!

[X] Mami:
-[X] Appreciate the surprise. Provide setup time if necessary.

-[X] The Iowa group. How should we prepare, gather info?
-[X] SCIENCE!

RE: Science. Now that Mami's here, I kinda want to look into any ideas or necessary precautions for finally figuring out who Feathers is.

Something like

[] You need to figure out what attacked Sayaka last Wednesday, and how do deal with it. Discuss approaches (including Psychometry) and safety measures.

As far as hammer-space goes, can I recommend a line about a ribbon pulling stuff out of our storage? Seems like a possible safety feature for some possible tests.

--[] Can our hyperspaces be linked? Test Mami's ribbons pulling things out of your hyperspace and phasing/ fast (global) travel.


So I'm just going to do just that.

We got metaknowledge confirmation about what we told Sayaka, at least. Green eyed blonde.

In-universe, however, this may come across as making dangerous assumptions. Our meta-knowledge is fine, but unless we want to let on that it's continuously updating, we probably want to avoid making the impression we took an implication and assumed.

Eh, we know our info is right, no need to explain where we got it from. Wouldn't be the first time.

We could ask if we wanted more details, but didn't we already had this on a vote only for Firn to confirm metaknowledge and not in update?

Can't check right now.
 
I still wonder why we don't just ask Nadia if she'd be comfortable calling Riona and being all like, "Hey, I heard a rumor you were heading towards Japan. Everything okay?"

That change of vote makes me happy, we can judge if Kyouko is willing to try a clear seed from that and if shes not we can adjust and attend anyway.

Edit: Was meant to refer to the Kyouko's seed situation in general
