[X] In whatever order makes sense:
[x] Brainmail the Pleiades. Topics:
-[x] Current events. How are things? The situation in Tokyo.
-[x] Defenses against mind magic.
[X] Enchantment topics:
-[x]Ask Sayaka if her enchantment would lend itself to copying things, be it replicating existing enchantments or some other means.
--[x]Offer to use/share your enchantment booster for rapid prototyping.
-[X] Protective enchantments. Mind shields, antimagic, maybe danger-vision from one of the sight powers, etc.
-[x] Griefhax with emotion-enchanted grief.
-[x] Try to make a tracking enchantment using the emotions you made your wings from.
Added in the Sayaka basic enchantment talk, and made the prototyping a subvote of that.
Also added the tracking enchantment because it feels like we're close to it, and I think it would prove highly useful based on our conflicts and activities so far. How many times has a potentially significant portion of a conflict been just
finding someone in the first place and doing so i
n time? The fight against Oriko, finding Akiko in time during the closing moments in Sendai, finding Sayaka during
Our Benefactor, Kuroki, a huge bunch during the Asunaro fight...
Yes, we solved a lot of those with Oriko's help, but I do think this effect could come in quite handy, especially for finding
her if something happens to her. (Ideally, we should figure out what Feathers does there
before the deadline, but this may allow us to interrupt things while they're in progress if no research to that end pans out or things happen before we expect.)
Additionally, the feelings we used to make those wings are strong feelings for us, and may assist.
[X] Ask Hitomi about inviting Homura to the Shizukidinner.
Slight edit as everyone already knows. Hitomi
did ask when we were all gathered together.
[X] Sanitized summary of Tokyo for everyone
-[X] Light on details; you'll write the details up later so you don't mess up while extemporizing (and so you can run it past Homura first.)
[X] Mention wanting to bring mental health professionals into this somehow. Cite Akemi & Norikos as example of why.
[X] Talk about Oriko's new powers
in a privacy bubble. Same routine as earlier, explain how wish magic works, but
try to explain it both from both a logical and an emotional perspective to help Madoka, Sayaka, and Hitomi understand.
-[x] Subtly make sure that Homura is on board with your arguments too.
-[X] Ask that any discussion on the matter of Oriko's power occur in some kind of secrecy for the time being, to help keep details from Kyuubey for the time being.
I'll point out that we are also explaining things to Hitomi here. She has a more rational and analytical mindset than Sayaka and should be considered as a major factor in the discussion here, considering her actions and arguments in the past. (Someone else can probably tailor things better than I can, but this feels like a start.)
Additionally, while open discussion of Oriko's power will probably pop up once it becomes necessary, I'd like to keep it secret until she chooses to reveal it herself, and I think it could be useful blindside Kyuubey as to the exact nature of the change, if at all possible. Mostly however, it's because she chose to tell us in secrecy and we should respect that.
On which note: Cut telepathy talk, to avoid giving the game away to Kyuubey. Another specific method of doing so may be possible, but I'd rather not give the rat our cliff notes.
Though that said, I'm honestly not sure why we can't just outright say "Homura and myself discussed this earlier, and now that we have the opportunity you two should be filled in too."
[] Ask Homura to stick around for a while after by telepathy.
[X] Ask everyone besides Hitomi if they'll be staying for dinner.
I'm honestly not sure whether this will even be necessary. Hitomi specifically mentioned that she would not be staying for dinner, we talked about fattening Homura up in our inner monologue during that bit, and no one else said anything on the matter.
----------------------------
Also, as far as trusting Kyuubey is concerned, it occurs to me there's a line we should drop sometime:
[22:25:10] GriefBeGone: I'd like to say I don't trust cabbits as far as I can throw them, but that doesn't mean much considering how far those things can fly.
