The vote was leaving an undefended opening, so made a tweak.
As much as total honesty is great, Madoka is not on anyone's menu if we can help it. Homura needs to be somewhat concealed to effect that. Hitomi should not become visible for the same reason. That means we don't broadcast too much about our internal relationships, other than that Mitakihara is moving forward as a group. We are operating a fairly normal "celebrity public relations campaign." Mami is our co-star, Sayaka Oriko and Kirika fill the rest of the stage. Until we move the world enough, we need to gain the bonus of infosec for Homura and Madoka. We act as the lightning rod, and crazies will preferentially target us. That is far and away the best protection we can offer them right now.
Yuki does remember Homura, but much to our chagrin it isn't time for her to understand and meet Homura. I aim to be consistent, so Yuki gets the message, that is "Sabrina is here, talk to Sabrina."
[X] You're not sure you understand the question. They're here, you're here, why wouldn't you meet them?
-[X] There's no real deeper plan to this meeting, if that's what she's asking.
--[X]
At the moment we're mostly relying on Nadia's advice when it comes to who to contact. Nadia
has agreed to spread the word to people in need, but in the meantime you're just reaching out through your existing connections to help people.
[X] Who would Yuki recommend contacting?
-[X] Tokyo is huge, of course, but are there any other "regional power centers" that call for more in-depth negotiations?
-[X] What are some groups that might cause trouble?
[X] Meet with the Hirano Group.
-[X] Be *slightly* more formal than usual, since Yuki is here. But only a tad - you're still Sabrina.
--[X] Standard offer, standard warnings.
---[X] The only thing you want in exchange is for them to be nice to others.
---[X] Offer to demonstrate Privacy. Enchant the construct, explain why they need it once inside.
Privacy Enchantment is a great way to offer our new contacts proof of our intentions. At the same time, it defines part of our morals and politics. Asking them to make and test their own is an affirmation, as well as acceptance. I think offering to demo Privacy has superior innate value, as well as gives our introduction to the Hirano group conversational branch points we want.
My issue is that I can conceive of a series of events which would lead to Mami actually creating a reputation for isolationism, and that until I discount that possibility I cannot react to this "reputation" by nuking it in the face so that people will approach Mami more often
Reading all you had to say about this, our ideals and actions are cure. Sabrina is already exactly the cure Mami needs. Most other girls don't have the Incubator focus on them so much, or for so long. Yuki doesn't have the same sort of goals and outlook, thus she is asking us to explain. It defines what Yuki has been thinking all this time. Making rounds to all the neighbors is exactly the sort of behavior that washes away Kyuubey's curse. Mami shares in everything we achieve, and we can only do these things because we have world-class support from all our friends. Sabrina is the new public face, but we all instinctively grasp that it is a group activity. No one can do this alone.
