Should we alert Homura that we're about to get into a fight? If she wants in on this I see no reason to deny her.
Yeah. Rin has been helpful in these negotations, and I think letting her go is a good way to repay that kindness. At the very least, rin is a potential future ally and I don't wanna risk that.Do you reallllllly want to do this? Rin's a valuable war asset.

It's good but it is a wall of text. Presumably we are still trying to avoid that. I perfer ugo's cause it is short/sweet and covers all the important bits without being bogged down by minor details.

I said:I'be been wondering whether Sabrina could fight on if she gets her base bashed in... Would it be possible to stay functional without a full brain? It's not like she uses it all that much .
What a coincidence, I just found this:Don't think so. From what we've experienced, having a functioning brain (damaged or no) is a prerequisite for maintaining awareness.
It's from that time Homura shot Oriko's head off. Good times.Firnagzen said:[] Continue with the healing
- [] All the way
- [] To a 'not dead' state
- [] To a 'not visibly dead' state
The distinction between 'not dead' and 'not visibly dead' is in the little things like heartbeat and brain activity.
Unless I don't remember and we already checked these things?Silver said:...you know, next time we gib a meguca's head, we should try telepathically talking to her soul gem, finally find out if we actually need our brains to function1. Can't do it now, cuz Bunnycat's not in time stop to be our telepathy relay.
1: There are so many things wrong with this sentence.
We cross that bridge when we get to it. We can go it alone if we have to.And if the UG is leery of taking on Sendai and their allies again?
I'd rather ask than assume they'll sign up for the Glorious Sendai Liberation Crusade For Microwaved Tea.
They can wait the fight out, we can offer sanctuary...while, yes, them volunteering is a likely outcome, it's not the only one.You're asking them to release Rin. Without her or us around they're exposed. What can we do?
I'm favoring offering asylum in Mitakihara if they don't go for it.Since the UG doesn't really have a hostage to hide behind anymore, if we can convince them to let Rin go, we kind of have to either take them with us or leave some protection behind, since they don't seem to like their odds on their own in a longer battle, with the rain and all.

That's THE 'Kato witch' theory.Had a possible thought on what happened in the Kato situation that, if true, would mean both Ishi and Akiko would be correct in what they're saying. My idea is thus: Kato turned into a witch, who was then killed by the Ishi group (not knowing her from any other witch). Akiko, upon asking Kyuubey for a status report on Kato, received the answer 'the Ishi group killed her'- literally correct, but completely misleading.
No idea if this theory has been suggested before or has any holes in it, but it seems at least somewhat plausible to me.
Except...it's for Rin's benefit. Who does need the reassurance. And our allies, who need to know what our game plan is. "Nobody is going to die" also avoids giving Sendai motivation to do something stupid out of desperation because they think we're going to kill them.That `nobody is going to die` line is going to bite us in the ass. We`ve give so many `last chances` to akiko that telling her that she`s not going to lose much (since seeds are still a matter of life and death so everything is fair game) which means she`s got no reason to try deescalating and none of her group are going to try and convince her to stop since they don`t see any consequence.
Reassuring one side that we're not going to kill them while reassuring the other that we're in this for real? Easy enough: "No one's going to die today... You won't believe the kind of things a meguca can survive."/BloodthirstExcept...it's for Rin's benefit. Who does need the reassurance. And our allies, who need to know what our game plan is.

And they don't see any consequence? The griefbender avoiding the gem but hacking them up is a fairly major consequence. Her saying "I'm not going to kill you" while going FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS is still plenty intimidating, I think.
Not really. They know we're not perticually violent (see our trying to talk everyone out of a war) and they don't know or at least underestimate our abilities, so adding that we`re going over there and then not going to hurt anyone just means we're going over there to bitch and moan at her and not do anything.Except...it's for Rin's benefit.

Except that...isn't how we're going to handle things. At all. The plan is to talk down their incoming allies, not them, as our top priority, and we have no reason not to break out the grief wings for dealing with Akiko and any friends.Not really.

We`ve been completely nonviolent, and Akiko has shown that she doesn't care about what we think, so since we haven`t done anything, acually meaningfull, she can do whatever the hell she wants.
