(1) -- a total shot in the dark, inspired by the Half-Life stuff, sponsored by catgirl, and funded by the fact that it's a minimal-cost action. "What could ever generate a chapter title involving 'Black Mesa'?"

Black Mesa Inbound is a Big Damn Heroes chapter where Brinas from all over the multiverse arrive to help us defeat Feathers. Obviously. :V

( Honestly? Undertaking actions in order to produce a certain chapter title from a game almost twenty years old seems a little backwards to me. I mean, I've got no problem with it, but Firn just might start naming chapters after Portal 2 to screw with us. )

Hasn't this literally been done in the last post? What's the idea here?

You guys aren't going to tell Oriko what actually happened?

The main problem is that the shopping trip will be long and Sabrins is already mentally tired...

How about a power nap on/with Mami while we wait for Kirika's enchantment? Just enough to reset our mood and get ready for the long night ahead.

I think the enchanting is a matter of minutes... I don't know, I usually prefer finishing things up before crashing, so I can actually relax, without worrying about getting back to whatever I needed to do... and there's not much else we need to do right now, just let O&K know what happened, get those enchants, and tell whoever we're gonna tell about what happened, which I left to be decided by the group as a whole.

Also left the decision of whether to take Riona to prison now or tomorrow to the group and Brinapilot, so I figure next update would wrap things up so we can go relax at last.

We can still talk later: a power nap can be useful with 10-15 mins of sleep, not that much time.

'm... really not sure about taking a nap at Oriko's place with Homu and Sayaka there...

Sabrina'd be sleeping on Mami's embrace, and I trust Mami to be fiercely protective of Sabrina's rest.

Power napping on time stop is a good idea though, (it's just that as personal preference I'd rather give Mami the opportunity to take care of Sabrina)

You know, I actually expected normal sleep.
Like, at night. In the bed.
While being in the same ( relatively ) linear timestream with the rest of the universe.
Stupid of me, I know.

Well, this was during the sleepover:
Firnagzen said:
"Would it help if I were to make an enchantment that detects danger?" you offer. "Or... could I make you a Clear Seed, and you can sleep in timestop?"

Homura hesitates for a second. "I- I'd appreciate the Clear Seed."

"Alright," you say, with a smile. You clasp her shoulder. "Homura, I know I've said this a lot, but I care about you. OK?"

Firnagzen said:
"'morning, Homura," you say, narrowing your eyes at her. "Did you sleep well?"

Her lips twitch a little. "Eight hours?" she affirms.

"Really?" you ask.

"Yes," she says. "Eight hours."

"Right," you say. You should probably take her at her word.

You should also probably get up, but there's a Mami wrapped around your waist.

I... agh, I don't know, how about something like this?

[} Ask for a few minutes to relax.
-[] Tea?

[] Mami:
-[] Cuddles. Snuggles.
--[] If you doze off for a bit, let it happen.
-[] Ask her to check Riona's flask.

[] Kirika:
-[] Ask for extra Enchantments:
--[] Handcuffs, something you can use on active enemy meguca.
--[] Bracelets you (all?) could wear for protection.

[] General (simultaneuos with other vote blocks as appropriate):
-[] Go over Riona's actions and claims. Get opinions on her and on the repercussions of taking her prisoner.
-[] Discuss what to do. Propose:
--[] Informing friends/allies of what happened (those in Mitakihara? Yuki? Nadia? Niko?).
--[] Taking Riona to Yuki's meguca prison (when?).
-[] Follow consensus.

[] Sayaka:
-[] Congratulate your Kouhai on a job well done.
-[] Also thank her for comforting you.

[] Thank everyone.

It'd be about plot elements, not trying to do anything with the chapter names.

So, that's not the idea.

I'm not trying to predict the future. I'm saying, "maybe those have a meaning? Let's ask Rionna Nadia about history, maybe there's is or was some black mesa analog out there?"

...

Or, more likely, some organization nothing like BM but which would stand out and could meet a black mesa chapter title.

E: meant Nadia.

Sure, why not.

[Q] Regem Rionnna
-[Q] Ask her for a history lesson.

Eh, why not. I'd be surprised if there's something standing out that is not godawful and/or amoral, but hey, asking doesn't hurt.

Shopping trip with Homura means long night, also reset mood so Sabrina isn't as irritable for better Brinapilot on all the rest of the vote.

To be honest, I myself would prefer to keep going until we're done with this Riona stuff, then take time to relax... We did get some relax and hugs while at the hotel, though that was right before the confrontation...

Not fully convinced, 's why I left it up to Brinapilot whether she wants to (can) doze off or not.

Leaving things like this to Brinapilot makes it easier for Firn to write, I hope. He can go whichever way his muse prefers to flow...
 
@Kaizuki

We already asked Nadia about any magical organizations of note, and didn't come up with much. I feel like if Firn had some super important group of note in mind, it would have come up then - the Half Life references really don't seem to point to a "Black Mesa" existing imo.

That said, the entire worldbuilding talk with Rionna was basically glided over in general terms, so I certainly won't mind if we just phrase the inquiry as "what groups in general would be worth contacting, globally?"

@Onmur

There's really no point asking what to do with Rionna - it seems like everyone's pretty set on keeping her prisoner like Airi. We'd be better served coming up with some security based points to discuss with Yuki, when it comes to holding Rionna. She's a whole other level of dangerous compared to Airi.

I mean, so, most likely it would be gone by now if it had existed. Rionna did say that was the date of most girls who worked on dewitching.

But... If nothing else, Firn's already had a major character come in from *Europe*, has content in America...

I'd like to know if there is or was something out there.

OK, what about the stuff I voted for?
-[X] Discuss what to do. Propose:
--[X] Informing friends/allies of what happened (those in Mitakihara? Yuki? Nadia? Niko?).
--[X] Taking Riona to Yuki's meguca prison (when?).

Who do we tell about this (right now? Later?); when do we take Riona to prison (now? Tomorrow?). Aren't these things Sabrina's friends should get to weight on?

Ymean Nadia? Cuz if we asked Rionna then lol.

@Kaizuki

Have we talked to Rionnnnnnnnna about that?
Or was it Nadia?
Cuz, you know, I'm starting to feel like I'm off the rocker here.

Also, I wanted to ask specifically about past entities. We asked Nadia about extant ones.
