ClarisseOkay, update. We found Kyouko and have convinced her to join our side, at least for now.
ClarisseAlso, we've sort of decided that we're a side now.
ClarisseI hope this is okay with everyone; we've sort of been one, informally, since the rooftop.
Nanamiwoo! magical girls represent!
ClarisseActually, the magical girls are outnumbered at this point.
Sayakatechnological girls represent :p
Sayakawe need a clever name!
Wakabathe Gang of Nine
Wakabaor are we officially ten?
Yuukacan we be the Gang of Nice instead?
Madoka!!!
Madokai like it!
Nanamidoesn't sound very serious :p
Sayakaanyway, I thought you said Kyouko was dangerous?
ClarisseWell, it's a long story.
ClarisseShe was working for Oriko because she was dangerously low on grief seeds.
ClarisseWe suspect Oriko used future sight to find the witches first, and steal all the grief seeds.
ClarisseSo the three of us saw what Oriko did to Mami's apartment — another long story
Clarissebut Mami used to be Kyouko's senpai
Clarissesuffice it to say, Kyouko's had a change of heart
Madokaso we can be friends? <3
ClarisseProvisionally, at least.
ClarisseShe's a little afraid to commit after being used by Oriko like that.
Madokaoh, that's sad. :(
ClarisseThe real trouble is Kyuubey.
NanamiWhat? How's the fluffy fuzzball trouble?
Clarisseso, Kyuubey came to us, asking for our help taking down Oriko.
ClarisseThis was exactly what we were talking about doing moments before.
ClarisseExcept when he made his pitch, it was full of manipulative lies.
Wakaba?? like how?
ClarisseWell, he was giving us reasons to help take down Oriko
Clarisseand asked him about what a certain something does, and he said, "think of it as a weapon."
ClarisseHe didn't say it was a weapon, he said to think of it as a weapon. Future-secrets: it's not a weapon.
RyoukoWhat Clarisse said. It was pretty bad.
Ryouko(Carry on; I'm busy talking.)
ClarisseThis was disturbing, but then we got him to come out and admit several other ugly secrets he's been keeping from all the magical girls.
ClarisseSo Kyouko got mad at him, and literally squeezed him to death
Madoka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Madoka:( :( :( :( :(
Clarisse*he came back with another body after about ten seconds*
Clarisse*and then proceeded to eat the corpse of the one that she had just killed*
NanamiNani?!?
Sayakazomgwtf?!
ClarisseI'll spare you the graphic footage.
ClarisseSo we've thought about it, and Ryouko thinks that Oriko is actually trying to do something good, she's just trying to do it with manipulation and murder. Unfortunately, this is exactly what we'd expect of her, given what we know of her from the future. Which means she's definitely not one of the good guys, but it might still be a bad idea to fight her anyway.
Clarisse… We're working on it.
ClarisseWe think the key for now is to keep building our alliance
ClarisseThen we can face Oriko from a position of strength
ClarisseWhether that's fighting her or just negotiating
ClarisseSo the next thing to do is find Mami-san, if she's alive.
ClarisseAnd the more I think of it, the more likely it is that she's back
ClarisseThat means that she probably has future technology implants too.
NanamiYou want to just try to find her over the radio?
ClarisseMaybe, but the other piece of news is Simona.
ClarisseKyouko tells us he's been hanging out with Oriko.
Clarisseand we're not sure if she's been working with Oriko, too.
ClarisseIf we go looking for Mami with future signal protocols, she might notice.
ClarisseAnd if she notices, she might tell Oriko, or Oriko might notice it anyway too.
Nanamifuckity fuckfuckfuck, fuck
NanamiClarisse, darling ./~
Clarisse… yes? :S
Nanamiyou know how we have all these copies of Intro to FutureTech for Middle School Girls lying around?
Nanamiwhen the girl with future vision sees what sort of havoc that plays with the future…
Nanamiwhat do you think that scream sounds like?
Clarisse… I don't know
Sayakaehhhh that does not sound good
NanamiMight there possibly maybe be any way to go looking for her which doesn't threaten to involve Oriko?
Wakabaoh, guys, guys, i just realized
Wakabayou know who else has been looking for Mami?
Wakabathe Mitakihara Police Major Case Squad
Nanamifffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuu
Wakabawant to bet she's in a holding cell
Sayaka… omgwtf are we going to bust someone out of jail??!
ClarisseNO! THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA!
Wakabawe're not even sure she's there
Nanamiremain calm
Nanamido not make any sudden moves
ClarisseRight.
ClarisseI'll call Homura next, and warn her about Kyuubey.
Clarisseand … where's Hitomi?
Hitomi(autoreply) I'm ever so sorry, but I've placed this chat in silent mode, so that I can have some quiet time.
Clarisse… that's probably fine
Madokahey Clarisse
Madokayou sound like you're really busy over there!
ClarisseA little bit, yes.
MadokaI can call Homura if you'd like? :)
MadokaIt's no problem, I'd be glad to help! <3
Clarisse… okay, that could work
*It's less direct, but you figure if it's coming from Madoka, she'll be sure to listen.
Clarissejust don't use any text messages, okay? It's not safe.
MadokaOkay, I won't.
