For some reason punching Akiko before very conspicuously moving her soul gem out of range was supposed to protect the Tokyo girl from the lich bomb; unless she already knows, in which case it just makes Sabrina look like a dick. Or something. I don't remember the exact thought process there.
...but it says to DC Sakura as well without punching her in the face first, regardless of her cooperation, right? How's that supposed to work out?
We're going for the Renegade interrupt this time? :p
Great, our first Renegade interrupt. Right in front of the person we want to have think we're the good guys.

I wouldn't say it's our first, and it's a little late for positive first impressions.
 
We broke Mami so badly that the same character who once lied to Madoka and Sayaka about having her homework done for appearance's sake is now happy to skip school. In Japan. Where that's kind of a big deal.
Yeah, yeah, I know - just bringing it up in the context of 'things that we might need to consider before going off to Kazumi-town or whatever crisis'.
I'd assume the plan is to give her a day or two off, then back to school daily for the support that a normal routine would provide for her damaged psyche. /amateur-psychologist-ing
 
Does our phone have a camera? We totally need to take a picture of all the soul gems, and should we ever end up in the place that shall not be named, show it to Ayase Souju and brag about how were a better collector than her.
 
We're talking to Sakura, Sakura's been more reasonable and level with Sabrina, and Akiko seriously deserves it. Sabrina's not actually a saint, messiah complex aside.

Excuse me I thought I already canonized Sabrina as an actual divinity step off.

Re:Asurano, we should go.

1) Kazumi is precious best girl and should be protected at all costs.

2) All arguments of bad writing are irrelevant because Firn is a good writer and would not punish us just for Kazumi Magica being a piece of shit or whatever.

3) Oh my god the SCIENCE we could do.

4) Homura butting heads with the Pleiades would be the most hilarious thing and I cannot abide anyone who is not excited by the prospect. Probably incubators.

5) Sabrina already knows about it and is characterized as butting her head into shit that isn't her business in order to SAVE. EVERYONE. AND FREE THEM FROM THE SYSTEM. Like, holy hell, the Pleiades have enough common ground with us that they're more Oriko-tier than Akiko-tier. They'd probably give us a fucking research grant.

6) what if kazumi and mami tho.

Oh, forgot 7) Most of the craziness of the Pleiades is canonically attributable to the fact that they weren't cleansing their gems. Like holy SHIT we are tailor-suited to completely defuse literally all their bullshit as soon as we show up turn off the shadowruns.

Oh wait also 8) Like seriously let's be real I'd rather deal with the Pleiades than Akiko's bullshit atleast they never put civilians in fucking danger on purpose. They're atleast THAT ethical, even at their worst.

So far as going to school: we have better things to do. In SQ and PQ it was important so as to give the rather depressed MC's some sense of normalcy. Sabrina is the furthest thing from normal, and moral failings aside, she's totally okay with that. I'd only go for that if Mami seemed to be pushing for it.
Edit: what about our grief science? Time spent in school could be spent doing extremely important grief seed research. I don't think some fluff and maybe a few questhooks is worth losing time for grief science.

The Mami social link and ability to influence things with Madoka and the others does seem tempting though...Maybe when things are more stable?

Also, slice of life fluff. :D

Y'know as cute as that would be, following Mami to school when we could be doing other things seems kinda counter-productive to giving her a life outside of us. Like. "Hey Mami you can be friends with people at school we're just gonna be there ALL THE TIME so you have no breathing room when we're not there! Totally not sugar-coated abuse tactics, we love you~!"

It's still a lot of dangerous bullshit that we are in no mood to deal with right now. We'll probably do that awhile later (if at all), since we're pretty much booked with projects, R&R, and grief science right now.
 
Krecart, maybe you should go take a break.

No, really, go get a drink or something before we start yet another flamewar.
