To clarify, Yui doesn't have that kind of precise control. Or rather, the magic forces the conclusion ("this girl is legitimately in charge") and lets the target's mind supply a justification for that authority. If the target cannot rationalize a justification for anyone having the necessary authority (for any reason, including "no, I'm in charge" from Hisae or "who fucking cares" from the crowd of drunks you tried it on) the effect won't work.
About the only place where you'd benefit from Momoko's perceived authority would be if you pulled that trick on Maiko or Himari, which... isn't necessary anyway, and would definitely not improve your relationship with them.
Good to know. Dropping it.
Vote 4.2
[X] Follow Chizuka up to the Tokyo/Nagamioka border. Try configuring your wand for a multispread configuration of punchbeams while you're at it, then start charging it up.
-[x] Minami and Maiko should tag along in case you get double ambushed by more Nerima girls or something. Minami can search for the other Nerima girls and relay to Maiko as you go.
[x] Brainmail Yumi, with Maiko in the background of the line. Ask if she knows about Chizuka. Mention that she's from Nerima, her costume, and her magic. If she does, ask for the super abridged version, you're in the middle of a chase scene!
[x] Message Chizuka:
Would you mind stopping? I'd like to talk about this, and being in a whacky chase scene makes that hard.
-[x] If she agrees, skip the next section. Else:
[x] Boost ahead to physically get in front of Chizuka in a burst of speed. Land in a display of physical strength.
- [x] If she tries to approach you in melee or get past you, use nonlethal beams to control her movements and get her to stand still.
- [x] If she tries anything with metal, assert your authority over any magic she tries to pull up and shut it down.
[x] Once she's staying still, speak to Chizuka. Address her by name.
-[X] Nagamioka is a
governed territory.
Assert your authority as its pink and sparkly leader.
- [x] If her group is okay with cooperating, you'd be willing to consider bringing them into your organization
and letting them reside here. But they'd have to tone things down and follow the rules of basic decency — risking civilians and destroying perfectly fine buildings for tactical advantage is
not okay. Sheesh!
- [x] And what was she actually doing out here alone? Shouldn't she have had backup or something, or maybe any other teammates at all to patrol the territory they're apparently trying to claim?
- [x] Ask if she would like to stay and discuss things further.
-- [x] If she wouldn't, escort her to the edge of your territory.
If they wish to enter Nagamioka later, or discuss your offer you'll expect them to contact you. The name's Yui Aikawa. If they don't... you'll be forced to see it as a provocation.
[x] Have Minami spy on Chizuka without crossing the border; continue watching out for ambushes.
- [x] Try to use Chizuka to locate her teammates, in order to get info on them to feed to Maiko.
