[x] Escort Chizuka back to the border, as planned.
- [x] Let Chizuka know that she can use her magic again, first.
- [x] Maiko and Minami keep to hidden-but-within-spying-range as backup.
- [x] Talk to her teammates a bit, if possible.
-- [x] Cheerful introductions. Explain that you have for them a delivery of one (1) Chizuka, slightly scuffed but with no serious damage, following a terrible misunderstanding involving exactly where people who don't work for you are allowed to ambush others with high speed giant floating metal spikes. No hard feelings.
-- [x] Make sure they know that they should really not be crossing the Tokyo-Nagamioka border without sending you a brainmail or text or something about what exactly they're up to and getting your approval.
-- [x] In fact, Chizuka had some concerning things to say about recent events in their territory and you'd be very interested in hearing more about that, if they're willing to share. Try to figure out their team social dynamics while getting the news.
-- [x] You have an interest in having a secure Nagamioka with stable border territories, and in making friends who share those interests- which they probably do. If some or all of them care to move, you're also in the market for reliable subordinates who don't mind living in Nagamioka. You'd like to see if you can cut some deals.
[x] Minami can keep scanning for calligraphy girl's new location if it's not a serious magic cost or distraction from supporting you in escort and negotiations. Otherwise, wait until Chizuka is gone and you can focus properly on finding her while working together.
[x] Pout adorably. Alright then, I get it, you don't want to let the power of friendship flow through you. You're missing out! I make a great friend to people (who don't endanger my city's population or infrastructure), I think. If you change your minds, just contact me and we can meet up over ice cream or something like reasonable superpowered teenage girls.
-[x] Oh, and? I'll be keeping an eye on my border all along Toyko. Please don't test me, alright? That won't be fun for anyone.
--[x] Ask Maiko if you're forgetting anything important, if not, go look for the calligraphy girl. Have Minami switch her focus to monitoring the group until you either get close to where calligraphy girl is or they get far enough from your border, for now.
[x] Okay, this conversation's getting real boring. I feel like I'm the only one contributing! So when you guys feel like holding up your end of a conversation and, like, actually introducing yourselves and all, brainmail me and we'll talk, 'kay? Byyyye!
- [x] Go look for the calligraphy girl
-- [x] Keep searching until you find her or need to head home
[x] Escort Chizuka back to the border, as planned.
- [x] Let Chizuka know that she can use her magic again, first.
- [x] Maiko and Minami keep to hidden-but-within-spying-range as backup. - [x] Reassure Chizuka. Even if her entire group doesn't want to join you, you can probably take her at least, take some of the load off them. - [x] While walking, ask her about her teammates.
- [x] Talk to her teammates a bit, if possible.

[x] Tell Chizuka there are girls waiting near the border, and let her return on her own.
- [x] Give her one of your smaller Grief Seeds as a token of goodwill, since it sounds like her team is low and she might need it.
- [x] Trail her out of sight to make sure she leaves.
[x] Escort Chizuka back to the border, as planned.
- [x] Let Chizuka know that she can use her magic again, first. - [x] Tell Chizuka that you know this can be a hard world, but that doesn't make what she did okay. You are willing to forgive her and let this go because you have enough power to have that luxury, but you wouldn't be acting so chill if Chizuka had injured or killed one of your friends. We have to try to be better. We know that Chizuka can be better.
- [x] Maiko and Minami keep to hidden-but-within-spying-range as backup.
- [x] Talk to her teammates a bit, if possible. -- [x] Don't joke about what happened. We're willing to let this go this time, but if it had been one of our friends who was hurt, we wouldn't be this nice. Right now everybody needs to cool down a little, but we'd be happy to exchange phone numbers and email addresses.

[x] Continue attempts to negotiate with the Nerima girls in hopes of establishing some sort of agreement.
- [x] Chizuka said they were worried about being attacked, offer to help with that?
-- [x] Suggest a mutual defense pact of some sort
-- [x] Just offer to help defend their territory, no strings attached
- [x] Be a little more aggressive with the "too powerful for them to ignore" angle
- [x] Send Maiko and/or Minami off to search for calligraphy girl while you negotiate
- [x] (write-in Yuiplomacy?)
[x] Thank the Nerima girls for their time and move on
- [x] Go look for the calligraphy girl
-- [x] Keep searching until you find her or need to head home
-- [x] Do a quick search in the likely area and do something else if you don't find her
- [x] Go check on one of the other leads Maiko and Minami had
-- [x] Investigate the might-be-a-Witch incidents in the Saitama historical district.
-- [x] Look for the girl in Yoshikawa Ward.
-- [x] Look for the girl in Kawaguchi Ward.
- [x] Just hunt some witches
-- [x] (write-in?)

- [x] Send Maiko and/or Minami off to search for calligraphy girl while you negotiate
- [x] Chizuka said they were worried about being attacked, offer to help with that?
--[x] They probably don't trust you to watch their backs, or enter each other's territory, so set up communications, exchange phone numbers so you can talk without brainmail range, arrange to have free passage if they are passing through your territory on civilian business, prior warning/permission if you are passing through theirs on magical business and offer to share information on regional problems.
---[x] Would be nice to reciprocate fully, but not strictly necessary.
[x] Continue attempts to negotiate with the Nerima girls in hopes of establishing some sort of agreement.
- [x] Write-in Yuiplomacy: You guys wanna go get some ice cream? My treat.
- [x] (In case of a 'no'): Look, it is unlikely for a teenage girl not to like ice cream, and it's completely impossible not to like me, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
- [x] I'm getting the sense that you guys are not having a super easy time of things. And I get that, everybody has problems right? You know, invisible invaders or exploding buildings or whatever. But we can talk things out instead of trying to murder each other!
- [x] So here's what I'm offering: you guys ever need a place to crash? You can come talk to me. I mean, if somebody comes in and attacks one of my girls I will totally beat them up and stick their not-corpse in my basement. But polite girls who aren't being mean are always welcome, at least temporarily! So don't be a stranger, okay?
[x] Continue attempts to negotiate with the Nerima girls in hopes of establishing some sort of agreement.
-[X] "okay look, I actually was trying to do something before I got sidetracked here so I'll make this short: I'll leave you my contact information and with the promise that I will not interfere with your business if you don't interfere in mine."
-[X] "If you want to set up a more formal arrangement later we can do that. I'd honestly prefer it, but I won't force the issue"
-[X] "that said, I'm willing to help you, no strings attached, all you have to do is ask"
- [x] Be a little more aggressive with the "too powerful for them to ignore" angle
- [x] Send Maiko and/or Minami off to search for calligraphy girl while you negotiate
[x] Continue attempts to negotiate with the Nerima girls in hopes of establishing some sort of agreement.
-[X] Ask for Maiko's read on the situation
- [x] Send Maiko and/or Minami off to search for calligraphy girl while you negotiate
-[X] "okay look, I actually was trying to do something before I got sidetracked here so I'll make this short: I'll leave you my contact information and with the promise that I will not interfere with your business if you don't interfere in mine."
-[X] "If you want to set up a more formal arrangement later we can do that. I'd honestly prefer it, but I won't force the issue"
[X] QBmail Chizuka: "Listen, you've seen that I can be reasonable. If you or your team get in over your heads, contact me and I'll be at least as reasonable with them as I was with you."
[X] Invite further negotiations at a later time but mostly thank them for their time and move on.
