Well, now that I think of it, shall we take advantage of the fact that the gang's all here and see what everyone's witch names are? (Because there are obviously too few names flying around at the moment :p)
 
We should also decide what to do with Sakura; we can't just leave her pinned on the ground indefinitely, and she might be able to shed some light on what's going on with Akiko.
You're right, we should probably address her somewhere in there.
First thing to do is let them know about the state Akiko's in.
Point. I say we get them to wait. Gathering the wounded takes priority. So, add this to the front:
[] "Akiko was practically incomprehensible when we captured her, so dealing with her will take awhile. Can we finish gathering the wounded, first?"
And this to the end:
[] Talk to Sakura for insight on Akiko's mental state. Why was she "No, not you" when we showed up? Was she expecting someone else? Ask about the Kato incident; we've gotten conflicting reports there.
 
We should definetely ask the UG what they want to do with Akiko and explain, how she is a bit of her rocker at the moment.
I just hope that they don't plan to do anything rash now that Sendai is at their mercy.
I would completely understand it after being extorted for a year and one of their frineds dying, but it doesn't help solving any of our current problems.

Getting Sakura to spill the beans would solve both the what to do with Sakura and the get more information on Akiiko's problems bit, so I'm all for it. Maybe a reassurance to Rin is in order as well, going by her reaction.

People we still need to collect:
  • Rin for healing
  • Moe, currently a nearly bissected corpse in the interior of some building
  • Sasami, lying on a rooftop somewhere
  • Tamiko either moved by Sakura or still on the rooftop where we started
 
*looks at votes*

No one ever thinks of thethe contract bait civillians :(

Still, it is understandable seeing that Rin's dead tired, and *might* be half way to grief spiraling with how hopeless she feels right now.

You stop pulling Grief from the Grief Seeds, instead settling what you've acquired into a loose orbit.
Akiko's Soul Gem halts in the air before you, and you pluck it from the air, before slipping it into your pocket to clink against the others. The motion draws looks from Noa and Mami.
This leaves us with a little grief mist orbitting us and a Sakura's soul hanging around as decorations.


Rin: We may not want to push her too much, but letting her know her group just put a lot people in danger who likely need healing will get her working.

We've got a list, it'll be fine. Its not like we're gonna start calling people by their Witch names. I am kind of curious though.

"Heeeeeey," Kirika chirps at you, turning to direct a grin at you. "You and your oujo decided what to do with Miss Wild Casey here?"

"Wild Casey?" you say blankly. "Sakura?"

She stares at you with her uncovered eye. "You never played Pokémon?"
Well, technically, no, but that's an awesome nickname! Kirika continues to be great.

EDIT: Oh, and she's calling Mami our oujo now? Pretty sure she was using ojou before...
The UG already got her for us.
I don't think they did. Chouko was just asking if her name was actually Ramiel. They brought Minami Yumi (gravity) and Akiyama Atsuko (Kuvira) with them, I believe.

They only brought Yumi (gravity girl) and Atsuko (metal girl), Sasami and the others are still lying around somewhere.
Chouko hovers over the roof, releasing her power's hold over her friends, and they drop gently to the roof, all looking triumphant. Yuko flips a body off her shoulders to drop unceremoniously onto the roof - a girl you don't recognize, dressed in a loose, billowy dress of brilliant red and black. Akiyama Atsuko, you suppose. You prefer Kuvira, really.

The other one, laid more gently on the roof by the Suzuki sisters, is... Yumi's, you guess, from the state of her hands. You have an overwhelming impression of grey - messy grey hair falls over an elaborate, multilayered kimono of a lighter grey. Bands of bright orange trimming our her sleeve and sash are the only splashes of colour on her form - apart from the thick smears of blood from her lacerated fingers, anyway.

The thing with the civilians is that only Rin can really save anybody, if they have serious injuries.
Civilians are far more squishy than magical girls and I doubt we could heal anyone that is seriously injured in a sensible amount of time.
We could maybe slow down blood loss or something, but everything else would take pretty long and might get trated better by a normal doctor.
We could of course rescue people that got trapped somewhere and clear the roads for ambulances.

Edit:
To clarify: I want to rescue as many civilians as possible.
I just think that only Rin has a real chance to save someone with life threatening injuries.
Hence getting her cooperation has priority.

May want to cleanse Rin first.

We should probably insist on saving civilians with Rin before/while running negotiations, since that's time sensitive and super important. Aside from that, I don't think we really have a stake in this other than "no killing each other, no stupid amounts of reparations because that's just going to continue the cycle."

(I don't think they're going to like "no reparations" after Akiko attacked the negotiations - they're human and very annoyed. But we can at least keep things away from Versailles level stupidity.)

They'd want whatever remains of their seeds back, at least.

We can do both at the same time, if we leave our collected soul gems with Mami we can go carry Rin around to various civilians and collect bodies etc. Mami's probably better at this than we are anyway.
 
Unofficial cast list
So, yeah, turns out keeping an extensive, up to date summary of each group is proving unsustainable. From now on, I'll be focusing on just keeping the characters up to date, to make it easier for me to update and also allow easier referencing.

5 members.
  • Hamasaki Akiko: Water powers, no apparent weapon. Decent leader and has some experience, but is basically defenseless against us in direct combat. Leader of the Sendai crew.
  • Tachibana Sakura: Teleporter. Uses a katana. Can make short range teleports almost instantly, longer ranged teleports require a longer charge up time. At full power she can make the trip between Sendai and Tokyo in less than 15 minutes.
  • Mori Rin: Dedicated Healer. Wields a jagged dagger. Can completely regrow flesh in less than an hour with manageable grief generation.
  • Tanaka Tamiko: Forcefield creation, no apparent weapon. Fights using her forcefields as kinetic weapons. Dresses like unit 00.
  • Minami Yumi: Gravity Manipulator, no apparent weapon. Grey costume and grey hair. Capable of limited flight and extremely powerful AOE attacks.
    Former members:
  • Kato Setsuko: Unknown. Claimed by Akiko to have been killed by Ishinomaki, which the IG denies. Uncontactable through telepathy.

More than three members, and each of their known members are extremely powerful. The three we know of are:
  • Akiyama Atsuko: Metal controller. Dresses in red and black. Is capable of creating a massive Katamari out of scrap metal and control it from a distance, along with throwing large pieces of metal around at immense speeds.
  • Koizumi Sasami AKA Ramiel: Fights with flashbangs and Laser beams. Capable of maintaining multiple lasers at once if she feels like it. Very dangerous, especially in conjunction with Moe.
  • Nishimura Moe: Shadow jumper. She gains super speed in darkness and can travel between contiguous pieces of shadow. In areas with plenty of shade, she can move fast enough to be practically untouchable.

7 members.
  • Koizumi Aki. Yellow outfit. Fights with Halberds and short swords. Can make copies of herself and dismiss them at will. Attacking the clones directly is pretty much worthless except as a gambit to fill her gem with corruption.
  • Inoue Yuuna: Concrete Body, silver and blue outfit She fight by covering herself with a thick armour made out of concrete, which provides a very potent defence against physical attacks without hampering her mobility. She also presumably has access to general earth powers.
  • Inoue Yuuki: Lady pixels, Silver and Green outfit. This girl's powerset is interesting. We didn't get to see much of it in the scuffle due to her getting Mami'd, but it looks like she can create pixelated versions of items and control them at will. More information is required to determine her exact powers, but if so her powers are essentially grief bending lite, only with magic instead of grief.
  • Sato Kimiko: Lightning, Pink and white outfit Can make lightning attacks from extreme range with very little advanced warning. This makes her very good at alpha striking and artillery support, but she is significantly less effective in a chaotic melee.
  • Tsukada Hoshiko: Repulsor aura, purple armour. Can create kinetic blasts on contact that sends anything touching her flying. Has a severe phobia of being touched/restrained.
  • Ueda Miyako: Unknown. Orange outfit.
  • Kagome Ayaka: Unknown, white and black outfit. Seems to know Mami previously, probably one of her former students.

4 present members, formerly 6
  • Tsubaki Chouko: Met up with the Ishinomaki group and got them to join in the war. Fights with Prismatic wings and a scepter. Is maneuverable enough in the air to dodge lasers. Can bring others allies along with her.
  • Umeko Yuko: Met with Mami along with Ayano Chika. Possesses Invisibility powers. Weapons, if any, are unknown.
  • Suzuki Rei: Paper controller, green hair.
  • Suzuki Haru: Plant controller, white hair. Fights best when given fertile soil for her plants to take root on.
  • ??? Fukui: Left due to the inability to deal with the Sendai's tax. Currently with Tome city
  • Ayano Chika: Dead, killed by a witch

??? members, was helped out by Sendai in a previous conflict.
  • Ueda Noa: Samurai armour outfit, slate grey eyes, green twintails, fights with a Katana. Powers unknown, but possibly emotions based.

[*] Gaikotsu Masami: Powerful telekinetic. Another one of Mami's former disciples. Upper limits of her ability unknown.
[*] Wakahisa Hiroko: Illusionist. Masami's girlfriend, and can create powerful illusions within a certain range of her.

[*] Ono Megane: Third year student at Yokosuka Middle School. Seemingly newly contracted. Magical costume is a black evening gown. Met her teary eyed after taking care of a witch. Exact nature of powers unknown, but it appears to have some cleaning/restorative application.

Didn't we just say something about letting Rin do what she wants to do? Insisting that she come here to help us with civilians seems kind of... not that thing.
 
If Kirika's getting uncomfortable, or we need her help, Haru could takeover guarding Sakura. Cover with thorny vines or, if her plants can generate toxins, apply an irritant.

Though Sakura would probably be very cooperative once Rin's with us. We still have her gem after all, so she won't get too farfar even if she tries to teleport.

As for Rin... Convince her to help, yes, but let's not force her. While it is inefficient, our standard meguca healing magic should be enough to stablize any maimed civillians. More importantly, our grief control can easily clear out roads or make alternate paths for the ambulances, and we can cut open any cars with trapped passengers.

Meanwhile, UG could choose to help us too, or they can recover the bodies of the meguca casualties. If we need to convince them, collecting the 3 Fukushima would help a lot in avoiding any serious grudges from the rest of their group.
 
The sooner we get a proper ceasefire, the sooner we can get to search and rescue.

[]Tell Rin that she shouldn't worry. We're going to make sure everyone comes out of this okay. Including the Sendai group. We promise.
[] Ask Rin for her help healing the wounded.
-[]What does she want out of this?
[]Can Mami set up a ribbon awning?
[] Ask the UG if they know where the rest of the bodies are (Moe, for example) and ask if they can help you gather the rest. Apologize for not helping, but we need to stay in range of the grief bonds.
[]Cleanse gems. Everyone's. Give a warning.
[]Talk to Sakura while this is happening.
-[]Something's very, very badly wrong with Akiko. If she can tell us what happened or why she's acting like that, we really do want to help her later.
[]Akiko can't be allowed to dictate terms, for her own good and everyone else's. Look at what she's done already. This isn't good for anyone for Sendai to just follow her like that.
-[]Group conference with her and Rin. Who else can speak for Sendai other than Akiko now? Rin mentioned that Yumi could take over. Would that work for her and Rin?
[]Once everyone's there, suggest waking up Yumi to start with-carefully- and talking about where to go from there.

...can we make the awesome Grief awning now that there aren't any civvies around?

Everybody else is already scared of us from the fight, and getting rained on sucks.
