Kyuubey's greatest power was convincing people it wasn't worth mentioning. Should we let that stand?
Also, intending more action congruent with Magical Girl success. And squeezing out words, see if that lets us consider adding more intentions.

Leaving things undone is not pro. If we are supposed to wrap this soon, then we just have to get all the events done faster. Why be in too much hurry to go - how many minutes of conversation are we at? How many more are available in one or two updates? Not impossible to fit it in. Not engaging the Tokyo setting fully is a waste of our QM's effort to create it, as well as dishing out a blow to realistic flow.
Also expected, but missing. I'll have to be the one...

Avoiding the Psychology Department seems like a bias we should not honor. I use the word bias, because no other explanation is more present. Sabrina, as contrasted with any particular player, has no reason to act against that goal. I suggest players should support their personal feeling on the matter with some posting.

Better done during trip home, and Not In Front of The Eavesdropping Functions. Or empath-scanning. Or whatever surviellance they have, which may not be limited to five senses. Certainly, make Kyuubey work more for it - using telepathy is the worst form of partitioning in that direction. Do we want it to have a copy of our plans? And we are referencing the Witchbomb in front of Kyuubey. It knows, but that violates our aesthetic. Gotta say no here.
[sidelining!] By telepathy, to Sayaka: It seems pretty likely that Chiyoda have some kind of memory manipulation available, and are using it to forcibly keep things secret. You don't approve, but given how destabilizing some secrets can be, there's a twisted logic to it. Meiji's behaviour might be because they learned some secrets.
-[sidelining!!] You doubt much good will come of poking at memory gaps with Osaki, but you'll need to develop some countermeasures before dealing with Chiyoda. Something to work on during the enchantment practice session.

Power of Friendship needs to be considered. It is natural to what we are. Politics will be somewhat the school standard of the humans we OOC know, and partly reliant on norms that exist for these girls in particular.
Choice of friends is no joke here. Sabrina has to seem like an option to them, due mostly to her obvious good personality and her obvious positional advantage. We yet have a few steps between us and friends in fact, so we should take those steps and see if the other characters want to follow. Magical Girls that aren't in crisis stay out of crisis by having good friends. It is a matter of survival balanced on a sharper edge than muggle humans walk. This is common sense for us all.
The step we could do here is "promote association." Our interview is kinda done, barring juicy tid-bit during talk of references. Our "conversation with new Magical Girls" is still a few kilos short. Establishing a reason to see them again is only good? If it isn't bad, why is it not important? Without listing them, there are lots of reasons important enough to call these characters over to our side.
This may apply to a bunch of other girls very soon too. In addition to random assassination and war for survival, we must deal with popularity. Let's be proactive! Whether my player-self likes it or not, Sabrina has strong appeal to certain girls. She will gain a fanbase, but they will be people at close range. Real people - yes, NPC's are real people. This isn't an Instagram account, the friends in our expanding circle need appropriate reciprocal behavior.
Starting to seed actual friends in Tokyo is only one overlapping path to insure we can achieve our best aims in the cleanest manner.

Worthwhile, but I'll specifically note that I think that should come after school's out, since we can do it with Mami present. Before then is better spent on things we can't talk to her about. Especially as we'll be talking about Dewitching progress tomorrow, but even if we choose to do that with Homura present instead, there's still stuff like Feathers to look into.
I'll note that while the talk of Tokyo's Council's policy controls does answer our question to their views of hiring out, we didn't exactly talk about our hiring plans this update and I think it may be worth informing folks explicitly and in so many words that we will be looking into hiring girls from Tokyo to aid Mitakihara in dealing with Walpurgisnacht.
Even if that's just as simple as "We're expecting Walpurgisnacht to hit Mitakihara around the end of the month, and will probably look to hire help."
-----------------------------
As a final note, it's not for precisely here and now, but one other thing comes to mind. We talked with the Shiogama girls about the possibility of hunting witches, but there may be another thing that they can do if their sight is good enough and they do indeed know about soul gems and witches.
We've been meaning to talk to the potentials at Shirome and Yokosuka for a while and... never really got around to it. It might be worthwhile to instead put that into the hands of others who can spot potential and know enough to give them the warnings they need.

Fiddled with the vote a bit to include more actions and condense it down to 150 words. Cut off the post-Tokyo action part of the vote - we can decide whether to talk with Shiogama or go on IRC next time, it doesn't need to be part of this vote.
[x] You'd like to talk with other Tokyo groups to get their perspectives and address concerns before making any major moves.
-[x] Gather contact info for:

--[x] The "belligerent" groups. You'll try to talk them around after meeting with Chiyoda.
--[x] Any non-Tokyo groups Osaki vouches for.
[x] By telepathy, to Sayaka: Mention your suspicions of memory magic being used to keep "the secret". Mention that Meiji's behaviour might be related to finding out.
[x] You'd like to offer psychological help to refugees coming to Mitakihara, and Rissho has a renowned psychology department. Osaki's thoughts?
[x] Ask Kurenai's group if they have any questions for us?
-[x] Answer honestly, barring the bombs.
-[x] Once everything's answered, thank them for their time and leave.

I think Tokyo tourism should be done with Mami. If we've got time we could run by one of the nearby non-Council groups.
Anything we can't talk with Mami about, we also can't do with Sayaka here. Unless you mean scouting for date locations.

If our next date is less than three weeks away, it might work out as a group date, roughly speaking? Getting too isolated from the several other girls with Doom hanging over them is something we have avoided. Our anomalous transportation power allows that it's safer and easier to tote everyone to Italy and back. We could select individual romantic spots for the various dates and tourism for those abstaining, all within a radius. Do you think Kyosuke will be able to avoid reading the mood? Will we commission in advance a small platter presenting one loooong strand of spaghetti to our moms? Does Kirika already know how to drive a Vespa?
About an hour for commercial flight. We subtly out-perform turbofans?

Subtly? Subtly?! We can outperform scramjets. The only limits we have are the fact that passengers don't do well in 1000 g acceleration
, and that we don't want to cause collateral damage, be it broken windows from our supersonic wake or something else.

So the worry is that cleansing or Clear Seeds would cause power imbalance in Tokyo.
So ... we take them out of Tokyo? If you want free cleanses, joinSabrina'sMami's Empire?

Why are we using notebooks? Just scrawl base-4 into Magnetic Tape. We read it by touching a finger against the tape and spinning it, looking like the world's biggest sci-fi dork.

"Well, I've got nothing."
Let's not break their soul gems, or our own, alright?passengers don't do well in 1000 g acceleration
Because it should be something that Sabrina can easily notice and figure out if her memories of making the record are removed as well.

okay the whole base-4 thing was more of a joke, but it was more on me ruminating on whether we can (hand?)write video and be able to play it back on VCR machines.

we actually totally could do that. we could also use our grief to encode a hard drive directly or physicaly manipulate any storage medium. flipping some transistors would be child's play for us.
