You know, I hope all these 'No, I don't' answers don't make it into the update. Way to look bad.Heh, I doubt it.
Still, it's not like we've ever let that stop us before.

@Agent Whiskers: You're not voting for saying anything to Rin, though...
Rin: "Sabrina, do you know what you are doing?"
Sabrina *ignores*
Rin: "Sabrina, do you know what you are doing?"

Ugo is correct.
Alright, I get it.
*sigh*
I never get to have fun...
It would be rather amusing if she had been asking that, and we missed it.
Rin: "You do know what you're doing, though, right?"
Sabrina: "..."
Rin: "... Miss Sabrina?"
Sabrina: *laughs awkwardly*

[q] "I hope so, too."
And there was one more. She has no name because she needs none. She was hopeful and cheerful, and a bit too loud and stupid. She goes around to everyone and tells them that all sorts of wonderful things would happen, if only they would listen to her. She and Stupid-Looking are two birds of a feather. Alone of the dolls, she is kind to Good-For-Nothing, even if she does not think she should do the things she does.

That looks really cool.

Yesssss more Krekian goodness!
Okay confirmation Fukushima has arrived. Akiko's (perception of a) strong position has increased further. I predict two outcomes; delivering an ultimatum of unfavourable demands at the negotiation table or just outright attacking. I could be wrong but the time of talking has passed. If they ever were a possibility in the first place and Akiko wasn't using negotiations to buy time. At least we used the time to start subverting Rin and maybe Sakura. To state the obvious again a fight seems inevitable.
Though I'm a little puzzled. In the update before the last one Sakura suddenly cuts off here:
And then in this update she specifically growls when addressed by Sabrina:

That could be the notification that Fukushima have arrived but then why the expletive? Is she displeased by the increased chance of danger to Rin due to possibility of more fighting or did Akiko say something that she didn't like such as planning an ambush?
And then in this update she specifically growls when addressed by Sabrina:
Is Sakura unhappy at Sabrina or about the situation is Akiko concocting. Of course it could be a bit of both but which part has greater importance in her reasoning? I think we have found some hints as to Sakura's dissatisfaction but I have a bad feeling about Akiko and Fukushima. We need more info on their powers.

Ah, the motorcycle suggestion was a way to keep magical expenditure down - unsure how much TK would cost when combined with timestop and whether the TK-FLY option would be quicker than the motorbike to the point where it'd cost less in the overall scheme of things.
Once again, not suggesting we do it, just pointing out to any who think that Homu would have to get here on foot that she does have options.
I go to bed and when I wake up only two pages have passed? Who are you imposters and what have you done to PMAS?
Gonna go with Ugo, here. If Akiko continues to show the same amount of sense as she has been then combat is immanent and I'd much rather be out in the open, away from the cafe's innocent bystanders and thus have the option of powering up and taking to the skies for the high ground advantage (without having to worry about breaking the masquerade). I'm going to trust Rin's 'hostage position' plus the innocent bystanders plus 'two unknown magical girls - wait, is that Tomoe Mami? I think I've heard of her...' to delay any fighting hitting the negotiating table until we've wrapped up on our end.

Amazing.
Not even one new page after going to sleep.
It could also be that Fukushima arrived and met with the other two Sendai girls. There may be trouble because of the changed situation and Akiko went to calm them down or renegotiate in person. I guess, I'm way too optimistic here.

"We've Got Hostiles" pt. 28
You're tempted to give Rin a snarky answer. 'No, I don't', maybe, or 'I hope so too', or something else along those lines.
So very tempted.
Alas, this really isn't the time for it.
Instead, you look back at the University girls sitting around the table. "By the way," you say. "What can you tell me about the other two girls with Miss Hamasaki? Minami Yumi and Tanaka Tamiko? I know they're gravity control and force field, but... how do they use their powers, what are they like, that kind of thing?"
Chouko gives you a curious look. "Minami can fly, a bit, and mostly she uses her powers to crush things into the ground? She... I don't think she has much fine control. Um... she's reasonable. I guess. She's let us have... extensions before," she says, lips twisting, before nodding slowly.
"Still right behind Akiko when it came to attacking us, though," Haru says. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Yuko grimace to herself, while Rin shrinks a little further, her shoulders hunching in.
Chouko shakes her head. "Well, yeah. But anyway... Tanaka... she's mostly quite defensive, but she can also use her forcefields to hit back. Hmm... I don't think we've talked to her much?"
Yuko shrugs. "I think she might actually be mute? I'm pretty sure I've never heard her speak."
"So there you have it," Chouko says, looking at you. "Why do you ask?"
"I'm... trying to feel out their intra-group dynamics," you say. "Homura?" you reach out for the time traveller.
"What is it, Sabrina?" Homura responds almost immediately.
"What can you tell me about the Fukushima group?" you ask.
A soft snort from Homura. "Hamasaki called them in?"
You sigh back, picking up your cup of tea, long gone cold. You take a gulp from it as you respond. "Yeah. I managed to get her to back off for now."
"From what I know of her, the easiest way to make her leave you alone is to just give her the Grief Seeds," Homura notes.
"It's not exactly an option when I don't have that many, and neither can the University Girls afford it," you say sharply.
"Hmm," Homura says noncommitally. "The Fukushima girls... they won't be sending everyone. Akiyama Atsuko, Koizumi Sasami, Nishimura Moe." She pauses for a moment, before adding.
"Right. Uh, this Nishimura-"
"Yes, her name is Moe, no, she isn't actually very moe," Homura says, cutting you off impatiently. A lesser person would probably be rolling her eyes. "Their powers are... metal, light, and shadow." She pauses, thinking for a moment, before adding, "If you fight them, be careful of Koizumi and Nishimura. The two work together very well."
"Alright, thanks, Homura," you say, suppressing your surprise at Homura describing someone as dangerous. "How's things, back home?"
"The shopping trip is done, Madoka is safe at home," Homura replies.
"And Sayaka?" you ask.
"Still thinks that magical girls are cool," Homura says, almost spitting the word out.
You sigh, taking another sip of your tea, and making a face at the taste. "We probably need to do something about that at some point," you note.
"Hmm," Homura says. You get the impression she would say more, were you face to face, but is reluctant to over telepathy.
"Well, thanks," you say. "And, well, as before - see you soon."
"See you," Homura says.
Alright then. A call to Akiko. "Miss Hamasaki," you say, putting your cup back down on the table.
"Miss Sabrina," she replies, voice cold, but collected - not a hint of her earlier... madness? Was it even that? More of an inexplicable hangup over Grief Seeds and that Kato Setsuko than anything.
"I would say that leaving negotiations unannounced is rather... unprofessional, wouldn't you?" you let your annoyance bleed into your telepathic voice to match the frost in her voice. "Might you share what you're doing?"
"Rin is my negotiator, is she not?" Akiko asks. "That's what I was told. And I'm still in contact with her."
"Hmm," you say. "We both know that really, you're the one negotiating. But that aside, what did you leave for?"
"I am engaging in talks with my allies," Akiko says.
"Allies from Fukushima, perhaps?" you ask, letting out a hint more of the bubbling annoyance you're keeping a tight lid on.
"Yes," Akiko says.
"What about, I wonder?" you press. "Miss Hamasaki, no matter how I look at it, I feel increasingly worried by your actions."
No response.
And that's not a good sign, is it?
Lamps around the cafe flick to life to drive out the encroaching darkness of night, and the tenor of the city shifts as the crowds throwing through the street grow more measured. A few more people have trickled into the cafe, settling in for their dinners.
"Mami, Kirika, we may have incoming," you say to them. Mami sucks in a sharp gasp, looking worried.
"Not here, surely?" she says, sounding horrified. "With so many people around?"
"I hope not," you say. "A group from Fukushima just got here, it seems like."
"Eh, we can take 'em," Kirika says, unconcerned.
"We may have to," you say. And that's what you're afraid of.
You look around the table. "Please stay calm, but I think Miss Hamasaki might be preparing an ambush," you announce.
Shock, followed by fear, flickers across Rin's face. "N-no, she gave me instructions to negotiate, and she said she was just going to talk to them. I-I'll talk to Sakura, she'll listen to me," she says, words spilling from her mouth and tripping over each other.
Chouko grimaces, looking faintly disappointed, though it's overshadowed by weary resignation - an expression repeated three times over in the faces of her friends. "Are you sure about this?"
"No," you say. "I said that she might be. Please, stay calm."
The blue haired girl shakes her head slowly. "We... thank you for trying, Miss Sabrina," she gives you a sad smile. "It's more... than anyone has offered us before." The Suzuki sisters, and even Yuko, nod in agreement.
"So what will you do now?" you ask.
"If... Miss Hamasaki plans to attack..." Chouko starts, and then throws a sharp look at Rin. "I suppose we'll see if... Fukui will still help us. And the Osaki girls owe me a favour. We won't give up without a fight."

So. Very. Tempted. To say "Welp, we tried." And then just show them why being able to manipulate your life-blood, grief, is among the most broken abilities there is.
But fucked if we're just gonna give up because Akiko has fucking issues with doing things nicely!
Think we can contact the Fukushima group and convince them to not fight? Maybe start with 'Whatever Akiko's paying you I can triple it?'
I dunno.

Goddammit Akiko.
If you are really just talking to them couldn't you at least answer us when we say that we are worried?
The powers of the Fukushima girls could be a problem depending on their versatility and to what extent they can control their elements.
Now it seems like the UG girls wnat to call in their allies as well...
So, fortify our position or crash their meeting?
