So, negotiations were going to happen today. I guess Akiko didn't arrive thaaat early."You said that Sendai arrived early? When, exactly, were the negotiations supposed to take place?"
"Today," Yuuki replies. "Why?"
I wonder how much we're hurting Mami's agency by taking the lead. It was necessary in order to get involved in this whole affair, since she didn't want to, but now she's barely contributed anything in words, and nothing in decision making.Oh, wait-" you glance at Mami and Kirika. "Anything you want to know?"
Mami shakes her head, honey blonde coils bouncing. "Nothing I can think of," she says.
"Nope," Kirika says.
Yay...
Very direct and to the point.You chuckle sheepishly as Kirika bounces onto the carpet behind you. "I feel silly," you say. "I'm the only one who even got tagged in that fight." Absently, you lift the carpet into the air and begin heading towards Sendai instead.
"Don't be silly," Mami scolds.
Just curious, since:"Eeeeeh," Kirika drawls. "Hey, where're we goin', anyway?"
"Sendai," you say.
"Gotcha."
Do we actually know in which direction we should be flying this time?"...I just realized I don't know where Ishinomaki is," you admit.
"Oh, Sabrina,"
Now I'm really hoping Kato is not both alive and in cahoots with Sendai, else we just tipped them off.You close your eyes, sighing. "Well. One last thing, Mami - can you try reaching Miss Kato? I mean, she's ostensibly the lynchpin of that this entire thing turns around, so..."
"Of course," Mami agrees, smiling. "Hold on... Miss Kato?"
Silence.
"Miss Kato?" Mami tries again. "This is Tomoe Mami, from Mitakihara."
The response isn't any better, and eventually, Mami shrugs helplessly at you.

Maybe, but since we're the ones that know less about the situation, we should avoid tipping people off about anything until we can confront them in our terms.Tipped them off to stop fucking with us, amirite? I'm not sure how them knowing we're suspicious about Kato is a downside, since my plan all along was to confront Akiko about it directly the next time we see her.
Sure! Opposite direction we just came, til we get to Mitakihara, cause Sendai's on the other side. And then we keep going. That way... ish.Do we actually know in which direction we should be flying this time?
Here's an idea for next time we fly Meguca Airlines:
Ask Homura if she has an aircraft-rated windshield in her hammerspace, and if she does not, to acquire one. Once acquired, we simply hold the thing in place with grief, and then enclose our carpet-thingy (or at least provide an angled front). Viola, we can easily see where we're going and not have strong winds constantly blowing in our faces the entire trip!
Of course, Homura would have to accompany us to make effective use of that (to both provide and store said windshield), but still. Flying with style.
Why stop there? Throw in some reclining seats, a working air conditioner, and a flatscreen TV for in flight entertainment and we can officially declare the Sabrina airlines open for business. If we are going to be doing to often we might as well do it in comfort.Ask Homura if she has an aircraft-rated windshield in her hammerspace, and if she does not, to acquire one.

There's the tiny little problem that we creep every meguca out when making/breaking grief stuff.Well if we start going by Grief Plane to other cities for diplomatic missions, we may as well go all out and impress people with the Bling.

If you consider "didn't get over it at all" the same as "got over it pretty quickly", then yes. Yes they did.
Thanks!@Firnagzen : In the index in the OP, there's a broken link to a supposed entry #13 for the current scene, but at the same time I don't see any such missing post. At best it might refer to the clarification post on page 681?
And thank you, too!Sooo, I've done compiling PMAS as epub. Here's the link:
