"Ivan, where is Triumf?"
"I don't know Boris, Triumf is gone."
"Ivan, where is Triumf?"

Butwhy leave Vladivostok? Shouldn't a shipping port town be full of Vory v Zakone or whatever the pre-shadowrun equivalent is? Don't want to hurt the Shigures to dry out that easier well when we're already right here.

Don't mess with the Bratva, don't wanna do anything that may draw the ire of people who might have channels to the likes of Radical Revy-chan.

While we're vaguely on the topic of gathering ammunition, I'd almost want to ask Homura if she knows where we can get a ton of steel girders. Possibly literally a ton.

We can just use grief sabots as quick and dirty mass drivers to more or less decisively fix our range issue for anything short of Walpurgisnacht, and it's not like having a supply of metal to draw from in our hammerspace won't come in handy generally.

Well . . . the mall is under construction? Or we could just have Sabrina fly up into the sky and look for the nearest large scale construction site. I imagine a big city like Mitakihara always has something being built.

Maybe we can actually buy things to throw at WP. With Yakuza money, after we have talks with adults, maybe some of those adults can pull strings for us. Maybe we can spend an afternoon providing magical solutions to scientific research problems for much profit.

And use said profit to buy blunt instruments of great size.

To chuck at Walpurgisnacht.

I mean, the Nakano corporation obviously has the contacts to make a bulk order of I-beams. So we might be able to arrange a purchase through them.

No, it doesn't. Homura had hidden them underwater.

How'd she get them there? She couldn't have driven them there in time stop; those trucks are massive, and she would have had to plow through cars on her way there—not to mention positioning it underwater, and then the issue of the truck and missiles sitting there in the water—how would it have still worked?

Plus, the water would have been much too deep.

And how would she have driven the trucks across the sea?

"Ah. Thank you," Homura says. "... can you read Russian?"

"Uh... yeah," you say, shrugging. "Why?"

Now picturing Sabrina with one of those Russian fuzzy hats.

Those trucks in the video look like JGSDF Coastal Anti-Ship Missile systems.

She didn't hit Russia for the missile launchers in the canon loop, those are antiship missiles that Japan has in their arsenal. Positioning it in the river isn't really that much of a challenge either, it just requires her to have done so during timestop when there wasn't traffic in the area.

All of which ignores a far more obvious question -- why the fuck would she dive into the water if they were stored in her shield? Why not just pull them out there and fire immediately? Why is every other use of her storage trick clearly obvious that she's making something appear out of nothing, but the one time that it's something that clearly couldn't fit through it, Homura grabs them from where they could have been hidden beforehand? It's a fucking stupid fanon conceit that's used in shitty fanfiction to justify all manner of stupid scenes.

Rule of cool WPN likes a show so making something as DRAMATIC as possible ensures it will work!

We can get I-beams to use as railgun ammo. That ought to hurt Walpurgisnacht.

Why don't we use Grief control to build a massive cannon that can shoot such great ammo.

We can give it to Homumom as an advance mother's day gift. Though we should still get her and Madomom flowers.

... And of course, we'd also have to make another such cannon to gift Mami.

Well, you know what.

[Q] EVERYONE GETS GIANT CANNONS.
 
Anyway, that was a great update. Definitely something you can't get in any other story/quest.

The opening few lines were fantastic, and Homura's slow blink and simple "no" in response to Sabrina asking if she didn't like Sabrina's hugs was hilarious. Really wish we could have gotten POV into her head for that exchange.

Can't wait to tell the others about our little outing. "We totally drove some missile trucks all the way over here. Across the sea."
 
Would it help Homura's metaphorical digestion of Sayaka if we gave her some... magical bonding tea? :thonk:

[Q] Ask Mami if she's ever attempted to use her connection powers as a tea additive.
-[Q] Use Homu as a test subject. This could improve her bond with Sayaka!

EDIT: BTW, I wonder when will we take Mami along for a timestop shooping trip. I know she doesn't like timestop, but it could be fun.

... Which means Mami needs to be assertive and demand to be included in our activities more to really get to know our family business and be part of it, which means we need to drop SUBTLY hints for Mami to know to be assertive about this while at the same time praising her every time she is assertive and we also should talk a lot about guns.

Good idea, Torg.
 
We might want to start discussing some Walpurgisnacht strategy with Homura.

In particular I'd like to discuss the possibility of getting Tsubaki Mikoto to provide some "witchbane" enchantments to apply to the various missiles and explosives Homura's using.

It'd be pretty dramatically appropriate for Homura to be the one to strike the finishing blow, aided by the effort of all the friends and allies she's gotten in this one final loop.
 
Man the Russian government is going to loose it's shit with the amount of military hardware that was stolen.

And if it gets used, the Japanese government will loose it's shit at Russia over it.

Congratulations girls, some very highly placed people are going to be very uncomfortable soon.

Hey, it isn't that much. Besides, the rat'll cover it up. Probably.

At the very least, it doesn't want WWIII, otherwise it'd have set it off already.
 
If Kyuubey doesn't cover for us, it can't complain when we talk to any highly placed people that want to make an issue of this.
 
:thonk:

[Q] Wait. You got an idea.
-[Q] Steal all the weapons from all the world. That way nobody gets to explode anybody!
--[Q] And you get to watch as everyone postures and pretends to still be fully armed to be everyone else, it'll be great.

*Palms Sabrina's face*

"No."

"But-"

"No."

*Pouts*

Not really. A few SA missile trucks, some grenade launchers, assault rifles, grenades, mortars, missile launchers, and machine guns? They'll be concerned and frustrated, but not panicking.
