Let's not be on Sayaka's case about making the decision 24/7, give her some more time to think. If she's come to a decision already she'll probably bring it up when we meet.
Yeah. Maybe something like
[ ] Don't prompt Sayaka about her decision. Don't mention it unless she brings it up.
--[ ] If she does, talk to her privately.

Now, is there anything we want to do before school? Any place we want to hit?
 
Well what are our options for places to hit up? Just the Yakuza and JSDF?

To be honest I'm a little reluctant to hit up the JSDF since we're 110% planning on this being the last timeline so whoever is in charge of security will get properly shafted for real. But if it's what Homura's planning I don't think we should resist.

Timestop over to Russia and steal some nukes.

Depending on how far/long Homura's willing to push it, we could go farther afield. The Russians, Americans, etc. If we really need a nuke, nobody will be too upset if we borrow one from North Korea.

Don't know why we'd need a nuke, though. We can get that level of firepower through means that won't set off WWIII.

You don't want to tip-toe around Mami and Madoka and the others, but witchbombing them is even worse!

    --[x] Don't mention the PotentialBomb, Homucifer, Madokami, or other topics you don't want to tell Homura right now.
 
The only particularly pertinent thing I can think of doing while walking to school is maybe contacting Kyouko and scheduling something? We should probably talk to her today. But she's probably still sleeping in.

Same goes for checking in with the Shiogama refugees, really. Maybe contact Yuki to schedule a visit to speak with Airi? She's more likely to be awake and it fits the chapter title, at least...
 
Alright, lemme be real clear about what we're gonna do.

Silly, we have to threaten to nuke Tokyo!

So much kissing. :o

Wait until Hitomi sees Mami and Sabrina behaving like this!

How will Hitomi react?

Girls can't love girls! OR Enlightment???

:thonk:

How will Hitomi react?

How will Hitomi react to MamiBrina kissing every other sentence?

[joke]
If I didn't know we got the Mission Oriented/Obsessive Attachment bits from Homumom, and the Save the World/Selfless bits from Madomom, I'd think we were actually the byproduct of OriKiri somehow.


I mean, this? That's straight Oriko, and there's no way around it.

Our behaviors have strong shades of Kiri, and our relationship with Mami parallels hers with Oriko.

Being Mission Oriented, Obsessive, Selfless, and focused on Saving the World? We could have inherited all of that...from...Oriko...

Wait. Wait wait wait. Rewind. Are we certain Oriko isn't our sister? Like, what if this isn't the first time Madoka's Wish has created a person? Because I could definitely see a Wish that "someone would save everyone" or something creating or influencing Oriko. That would explain our parallels with her too, if she's based on a similar Wish and derives her Karmic Weight from MadoHomu like we do.

Huh...I guess that means Kirika will need to ask Homura for permission, huh?
[/joke]
Oriko's sister?

I thought we were Oriko's daughter from the future! :thonk:

"You know, it would be nice to have a way to talk more privately, at range. Rionna demonstrated it was possible, which I suppose is the one good thing that came out of that mess."

"It would," Niko says, her voice suddenly preoccupied. "Knowing that it's possible, maybe if I..."

She trails off into unintelligible muttering and hangs up the mental call.
...

IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

Mami smiles at you, and joins you at the counter. You work in a companionable silence for a few minutes, humming cheerfully. Credens Justitiam, Mami's tune, and Mami harmonizes with you a few moments later, swaying beside you.
Humming.

I just (actually a few days ago but again now) realized we haven't used the Grief instruments in a while.
 
Y'know, I've been being all surprised by how well this is going, but maybe I shouldn't be. I said it, didn't I?

> Convince Mami of her self-worth

Check

> Convince Mami we ain't leaving her

Check

> Tell Mami it's attractive when she's being her normal confident self

Check

As for Kyouko... I don't actually understand Kyouko unfortunately. That relationship is gonna be tougher to handle. And yet.

And yet... Mami, here, healthy, happy.

AWWWAAAAAA THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVEN STARTED POSTING IN THIS QUEST FOR! ITS PERFECT ITS WONDERFUL IM SO HAPPY!
 
Re: Future shopping trips

If Homura needs some quality hardware, and the local crime groups can't provide it, might I recommend raiding Academi (formerly know as Blackwater) and other PMC armories instead?

Definitely agree that we shouldn't bring up Sayaka learning the Witchbomb. Any pressure to learn it is bad pressure. The part in blue I added on to Kai's bit, cause while we really should ask her about it, she may react badly to those memories. The parts in green probably (ie: certainly) won't make it to the update, given that we're going shopping with Homura, but I thought I'd put them in there as things to do after the shopping. Thoughts?

"Forget it," he says, eyeing the intruders speculatively and squinting as if it will make their clothes less colorful, or make their bells and whistles less frilly. "I know we just caught you looting us to the ground, but you probably need it more. Give the youma hell, or whatever. God, I'm way too old for this."

"I can probably fix that-"

"Sabrina, priorities!"

"...can I at least get him a drink?"
 
---[x] Be gentle. If Homura seems to be taking it badly, ease up. If she's getting emotional, ask if you can hug her.

Hm...

I dunno.

This stuff is supposed to be really important. Between the Spookiness of the potentialbomb and the Spookiness of last loop, which are (hopefully) interrelated, this is potentially mission-critical information.

I'd go for more like "comfort and slow down" rather than "ease up", idk.

... This is our only clear link to whatever is behind the scenes. My reply to people asking questions about feathers etc has always been "ask about last loop."

Yeah, I think that word choice is a bit better. It gets the same thing (making Homura more comfortable) while still getting the information. I meant ease up as in "slow down, take it easier", but I can see how it could mean "stop". Vote edited to reflect that.

Can't really think of anything else.

Only point to note, when we meet with Yuki, we'll want to also share contact information about other meguca teams we can BEFRIEND, and we need to arrange for professional mental help for Anri and Riona. It doesn't need to be mentioned in vote, though.

Added in a bit about finding therapists. Again, thoughts?
 
Honestly...

I don't want to talk to Homura about last loop right now. It's consistently made her feel awful whenever we've done it in the past, and we're just now cooling off from all the shit that happened yesterday.

Not every conversation has to be life-or-death doom and gloom. Can we just... relax for a bit? Please? There will be other chances to ask Homura about that.

Well, but we got Sabrina some Mumikisses, so Sabrina's perfectly relaxed.

Now we just need to get Homura some Madokisses.


"So Homura, for your next step in hug training, you're going to need to hug Madoka."

"..."

"And if you feel like kissing her-"

"Can we talk about something less stressful, like Walpurgisnacht, Oriko, the timeloops or, I know, I never told you about my horribly boring, dull, and useless life at the hospital, did I? Let's talk about that instead."

"I'm all ears."

"Right."

"..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."

What about targets? What kind of stuff do want to shop for? How far afield are we willing to go?
