Hunh, The idea of partially cleared seeds is something I hadn't considered before. We'll need to be sure they don't free themselves up further in contact with other seeds, but I think it's a good option to offer to groups like Ishinomaki.

So, I didn't see us inform them of not keeping seeds together, even though that's a potential risk.
We should telepathy them that if it didn't somehow happen offscreen.
 
Vote thoughts:
[] Does Yuki know if anyone in Sendai or Ishinomaki might be witchbombed?
[]During the flight home
-[] Make the MOF's windows from enchanted grief instead of normal active grief, pay attention how witchy they are as a result.
-[] Have you fed your Aurora today? (Do so, paying attention to if she reacts to your thoughts of IRC and politics)

That's part of the "usual spiel" that was glossed over last chapter.
Torgamus has the right of it here.
@Firnagzen

How long would the flight home from Fukushima take?

I scheduled a bunch of calls to happen during that time on the calendar, and I wanna know how much would reasonably fit.
Half an hour at a relatively leisurely cruise.

Neat. Enough time to knock out a few of the many, many calls we need to make today out of the way.

[X] Yuki:
-[X] What's the easiest way for her to expand her reach, anyway? Building mitosis?
-[X] In any case, that's all.

[X] During the flight home, contact:
-[X] Nadia:
--[X] Ask for a contact method that won't wake her up as our time zones desync. Text, email?
--[X] Ask for more info on the Murasaki Shrine Maidens. You might want to contact them later today to schedule a meeting.
-[X] Tohoku University: Ask for the contact info of the Tome Group.
--[X] Tome: Standard offer, standard spiel. Ask to meet Sunday.
[X] Ishinomaki: (Offscreen) Confirm our cleansing trip for Sunday.

[X] Lunch!
-[X] Hug the mumu

Hmm. With both groups having clear seeds, do we even need to make a cleansing trip to Sendai?

Also, @Firnagzen , would this work, or is it too much stuff?
 
Honestly, I'm going to cut some of the meeting talk here. I'm getting kinda tired of all the meeting and greeting, our research this morning was cut short, and we still haven't fed Aurora today. I want to pace ourselves a bit more in this.

[X]During the flight home
- [X] What happens when you make the windows from enchanted grief?
-- [X] Is it witchy?
-- [X] Can it be recovered if it's an active effect that wouldn't need a trance?
- [X] Feed Aurora. Pay attention to if she has any reactions, especially to the IRCs.
- [X] Contact Tohoku University: Ask for the contact info of the Tome Group, see if you can arrange a meeting with Tome.
- [X] Ishinomaki: (Offscreen) Confirm our cleansing trip for Sunday.

The Sendai clear seeds will be the oldest highly-used pair around. If anything is up or screwy in any way, those two will encounter it first.

We don't have to visit both, but we do have a responsibility to visit one to make sure everything is alright.
 
"I would consider it a fine payment if you facilitated my claiming of buildings in other countries," Yuki says. "As a general, ah, retainer, not just for this job alone."

"I... huh," you say. "That could work, actually, but I have to say that buying buildings or houses or whatever in other countries will be difficult."

"They don't have to be bought, just claimable," Yuki says with a distinctly wolfish grin. "The details we can hash out at a later time."

"I think I can agree to that, tentatively," you say. "I'm not planning on any globetrotting for the immediate future, but I'll send you a message when I start on that in earnest? And for now, as I said, I'm going to do more reconnaissance and consult my friends, but... pencil it in?"

We want this. We want this hard. We want to be able to be minutes away from any meguca on the planet, because one of the things we want is a fast response capability.

It's one of the things we wanted/tried to do with witch barriers, even.
 
[X] Lunch!

[] Before lunch...
-[] Talk with Homura in timestop
--[] Explain your tendency to worry about Kyubey potentially being more aggressive: for instance, for a while you didn't see any clear reason for why it didn't just... drop the truth of witches on Mami after she agreed to stop trying to recruit Madoka and Sayaka.
--[] Relate to Homura what you've heard about Iowa group, emphasizing their methodologies, and your suspicions about them having ties to Kyubey.
---[] IF you're right, then you've got two main points:
----[] First, you don't know why Iowa wasn't here in previous loops, and there's too many possibilities to do better than blindly guess, but it was probably some combination of the clear seeds not existing and... they would have given Mitakihara a clear-cut, common, outside enemy.
----[] Second, you've already moved to hire Fukushima to help with this, but your basic plan for this -- for anything Kyubey may try to pull -- has been and remains to rely on her. Because, you're really pretty certain she's the reason none of that has happened already. There are just so many possibilities that she completely invalidates, simply by being here and helping all of us. Obviously, it's hard to tell for sure, because Kyubey is a secretive little rat, but...
-----[] Hug Homura. "Thank you for protecting me -- us -- whether you meant to or not."

This sort of notion has been knocking around in my head for a while... (Like, a year at least >_>)... I do worry about its effects on Homura's paranoia, but on the other hand...

Homura: "... I want Madoka to say that to me."

Anyway, I dunno if we oughta be talking with Homura about Iowa at lunch or after school, though... And after talking with her about Iowa one-on-one we have to talk with her, Sayaka, and Mami about Iowa because Sayaka at least will be deeply pleased to know we're gonna fuck Iowa up and Mami... Mami will want them to fuck off cuz all she wants is a happy slice of life with Sabrina and her friends.
 
So I didn't follow the discussion between the updates, but any particular reason why we didn't mention that they can pay us back by not giving full grief seeds to Kyubey, but instead trading them to us for fresh ones? Every grief seed that is disposed of that way is both lost resources that MGs need to live, and and a soul that we won't be able to save anymore.

I guess it was covered in the standard spiel
If it wasn't, then we can retroactively include that in anyway :V
 
Idle thought: y'all should get Yuki a castle. As in, a real medieval castle. She'd like that, I bet.
Clearly, we get one in Germany. She can use it as a base from which to barter with Regius.

---------------------------

Some thoughts on lunch topics: Mostly chitchat we should get to eventually anyways.

1: Does Homura want to head out meeting and greeting with us this Sunday? If you act now you can arrange things to be stable one way or another.
2: Does Sayaka know when is Kyousuke going to be back in school, and if he'll have trouble eating on the roof? (Since we'll probably want to include him.)

Does she have preferences?
Japanese shiro?
German schloss?
Russian kremlin?
Maybe she's a modernist and likes star fortresses?

We can't give her just any castle, we need specifics, so that the most aesthetically pleasing option could be arranged.
