You're currently inside the Inner Sanctum of the Ninth Incubator, Kyuubey, himself. Sakura Kyoko and Miki Sayaka are in there with you, along with Tomoe Mami who seems to be serving as the mutant cat's secretary for now. You've just been handed three envelopes - three high-priority missions that you need to choose at least one to carry out on your own, and the rest to be delegated to the thousand or so Magical Girls now directly underneath you. It seems a lifetime away - four lifetimes away - that you once got your missions either hand-delivered by Mami, or through a local courier service. Being able to pick was a rare treat - you usually got just one, and it was that or go into voluntary unpaid leave until you got back into the active rotation.

Three missions. The first was a typical smash and grab mission, a type of mission that, if you'll be honest, you were never really that good at. Simply for the reason that you tended to leave whatever you're breaking into a burning, smoldering wreck. You always got whatever the objective was, of course, that was no question - but for assignments that specifically asked for the location to be left as it was before you arrived, you didn't score all that well. Good thing, then, that the clients specified that they could care less if you bombed the place from orbit after ransacking it.

The second was...a strange request, all in all. While you're aware that your current rank as of the moment isn't a secret for those in the know, it's still strange for someone to ask for you specifically. You're not sure what strikes you as odd about this other than that.

Is it because you're still not used to the idea of being Warmaster? Or is it something else, something much more serious than that? Who is this Kirishima Ruri? Is she someone you used to know, like Malal and Kharn, but have no memory of?

[1/2]

>>24917379

The third is a search and recover mission. Straightforward, but the objective's been missing for a while. Chances are you'll be hunting for a corpse, which you're not all that looking forward to. Still, an assignment is an assignment.

After mulling it over, you make your decision, and you say this to Kyuubey, who's been waiting for your answer for a few minutes, now.

"So you're taking up two assignments instead of just one, Matsuda?" The Incubator blinks at this. "Today is indeed a day of many surprises. I was prepared for you to delegate them all, and spend the entire duration nursing a bottle of spirits. I mean no insult, of course - it's simply an assumption based on your past behavior."

Stupid asshole cat.

"Yes, well. Mami, please contact the client of the first mission. Notify them that the Warmaster will personally accomplish their service request. After that, contact Kirishima Ruri's people and tell them that the Warmaster has accepted her invitation." Mami nods at this, and writes something down on her clipboard. There's an unreadable smile on the blonde's face as she does this. Maybe she's pleased, somehow...?

"We'll discuss scheduling in a little while, to figure out which assignment you'd like to partake first.
Kyuubey continues. "Kirishima Ruri's weekend concert is two days from now. You're required to report to her the day before, and spend four days with her. You can, conceivably, take the first mission before or after that, but...well, do try and remember that our clients don't take kindly to delays."

You nod at this. Sure.

"Now, the third mission. I assume you're going to delegate this one? Who wil you delegate this to, then?"

How do you respond?

"You're the one with the computer skills, you fuzzy little nerd. Who do we have that's good at searching and recovering?"

>>24917381

To an elite retrieval team.

If its an important client, we need to give it proper attention.

Perhaps attach a few new new recuits for observation training as well at the same time. Like that new cute magical girl with that delightfully short skir-

>>24917381
We ask for recommendations, first and foremost. We don't have to know everything, we're new at this. If nothing else, we can get Mami's thoughts on who would do well here.

>>24917418

Is that the hat talking? Yessss

We're not familiar with our entire roster so ask for a recommendation on who would be good for such an operation. Then maybe attach Sayaka to oversee if necessary.

>>24917381
Tell Kyoko to put together a decent retrieval team, good mix of experience and a rookie or two. She's our Aide now, this is the kind of shit she'll be doing.
Blueberry can go with to observe and/or stab shit. Up to her.

How about a mixed squad? One/Two Vindicare's and Eversors and a what was Midori's class again?

I'd say two of each because you never know when things might go to shit.

>>24917418
This. Short skirts always go a long way towards getting a promotion. Perhaps we're even looking at a new character introduction here.

>>24917444
We'll need Blueberry for the idol gig, though. So she's free only until then.

>>24917469

Ah, right. Social Skills.

Switch Sayaka for Kyouko in my vote then.

We haven't forgotten we'll want Blueberry and Cranberry for the smash-and-grab, though, have we?

>>24917482
I don't think we have much of a time limit on that.
>>24917469
>>24917479
Eh, why? The Hat endows us with all the social skills we're going to need for this.

>>24917482
We can do that immediately, though. While we do that, information girls find out as much as they can about the third mission. Once we start the idol mission, whoever is free from our entourage can go do the third mission.

>>24917507
I think we'll be needing different social skills than the ones the Hat can provide.

We don't really have much of an idea of who to send.

Alright, just making sure we weren't going to ship somebody off to start on mission 3 without thinking.

>without thinking
Nonsense. We ALWAYS pick the most logical and best choice in any given situation.

Thinking about it however, I wonder if we should brink Sayaka and Kyoko with us for the first mission.

So we can see how they can fight together

No hat & overcoat?

>>24917381
We will run the first job ASAP, we will take Kyouko and Sayaka with us just so we can get a feel for working as a team.

The second job we should take Sayaka along to smooth things over, she won't have to be there constantly but for first contact and on call for any important things that come up during the task

The last job will be delegated to Kyouko as a leader, she can pick her team from whoever she thinks is best for the job but she must take Midori and a couple of rookies along, this should be a milk run so we use that as on the job training, Sayaka if she is not needed at the time can help or liase with this team as needed.

If Kyouko could also report back to us once the third task is done on how things went and how the girls worked together that would help us with learning how and where to direct our subordinates talents while also trusting our senior assets

>>24917558

We'll bond over killing the shit out of people.

>>24917586
Also wear the hat for the Idol gig, we want to go out showing that we are fully the warmaster, not a pretender, if we can't control a hat we can't hope to control a goddamn officio

Since we actually need to show up for the idol gig tomorrow, we should meet with Iori today, do the smash-and-grab tonight, and meet with our principal tomorrow afternoon.

>>24917586

Sounds good, although I still think we should tell QB that he shouldn't have expected us to have everyone memorised in such a sort space of time.

>>24917600
When next we're alone, take the hat off, stare deeply into it's adorning skull's beady little eyesockets, and whisper as threateningly as our Kong-and-tobacco-ravaged voice can manage:

"I will tame you."

>>24917552
>>24917629
This is what we have Kyoko for, now.
We should be delegating this to her, not to QB.

>>24917629
Oh yeah we give the little furry bastard what we think as well
That was just from a planning standpoint

>>24917586
>>24917618
These.

>>24917600
You say this? But I think you just want more idol pussy.

>>24917465

Callidus, basically masters of espionage and subterfuge.

>>24917381
First, ask out backup duo for advice regarding who to send on the third mission. They actually know people, so can reccommend an appropriate team.

I think we should do the smash-n-grab first. Lightning raid, fast in-and-out. No sense delaying, and a bit of mad rapid violence will help us take the next four days a bit better.

To get 'more' requires that some was gotten in the first place...

>>24917674
...Touche`.

>>24917655
Not that guy, but I think we should wear the hat, and we should USE what it gives us, but not actually sleep with the Idol. We should torment her while asserting our dominance.
She thinks she can just buy her way into the Warmaster's pants. We need to dissuade her of this notion in a manner that will cause her to spread the word that Warmaster Matsuda fucks who, when, and where she pleases.
>>24917668
It is for exactly that reason that I think we should save it for after.
Also we might get stuck there. That would be bad.

>>24917668
>Lightning raid
This made me think of the air fleet we have in our shield. I think softening the base up before we go in personally is in order here.

Grabbing my vote from the previous thread (with adjustments):


First Job:
Us, solo. We need a relaxing mission where we just shoot the crap out of anything that looks at us funny. If we must, grab a squad of mixed Eversors/ Vindicares just in case.

Second Job:
Also us and Sayaka, but with off-site backup in case things go awry. (And considering this idol's request, it will probably happen.)

Third Job:
Midori with Kyouko, and probably an extra Eversor/Vindicare or two for good measure.

As was mentioned a while ago, we ask Kyuubey for recommendations on which Megucas to take as backup.

>>24917692
Not arguing the first point, it's not a bad one. As for the second...
Getting stuck there WOULD be bad. If something happened that put us out of commission for the other mission, it'd be bad too. Or if there were fallout that could complicate the other mission. It might really be a better idea to do it after we're done with Ruri.

>>24917701

That is a waste of a good air wing. We can do the same by timestop + judicious use of C4.

>>24917655
Technically >>24917674 is 100% correct but I actually did think this was a good chance to force ourselves to beat the hat down and learn to use it to our advantage

Because let's be honest, this girl isn't expecting us to be much different from Kharn so even if we do fuck up and lose it we won't actually cause a big a fallout as we might from things going bad at another time

Also we need to meet Iori BEFORE we go to the idol job

So first job > Iori > second job

>>24917710
I think our shield is broken and we don't have the luxury of timestop spam for now.

>>24917716
We definitely need to meet Iori first, and we might be able to ask her about Ruri if we don't think it's going to have some tremendous, horrible yandere fallout. And this is a good chance to...
I still don't believe this hat actually has power, aside from being sexy. I'm not going to sit and act like I do. This is silly.

>>24917716

Can I get an idea of how the time on each mission + our meet with Iori will go? I'd rather not leave said idol to stew.

>>24917725

Hmm, true. Still, I'd rather save the planes for something nasty like Walpurgisnacht's estranged cousin.

can we get a hircut before we go? I miss the short hair

>>24917746
But anon, Long hair is sex hair.

>>24917726
I think it is a funny idea but really it is just an incredibly sexy hat that wears well on almost anyone

Having said that the effect it had on Chiaki and the entire crowd outside of the officio does make me think there is something more than just a hat

>>24917716
>>24917726

This, settling things with Iori will save us the needless angst when/if she bites it.

>>24917746

Yeah, I miss the short hair too, personally. Though Midori asked us to wait. She probably wants to try putting it in braids like Moemura.

>>24917746
Can't, the hat won't let us, it requires long hair to sit upon.

Besides long hair looks dashing in motion and means we can distract Midori, or some other girl, by letting them play with it instead of actually interacting with them.

>>24917761
I vote we shoot her legs off again if she tries to put our hair in braids.

>>24917768

I can agree to this.

>>24917727
The first mission is a smash and grab. Problem? It's on an oil rig.
Iori is just lunch. Probably fine.
We'l want to sneak in a chat with Pinky somewhere. Ask her how she's doing since our fuckup in Siberia, her thoughts on the Idol gig, see if she wants to try the Hat on,, stuff like that.
>>24917746
This reminds me; our story for anyone who asks about our hair (and eyes) is 'An Incubator did it.'

>>24917768
Yes. Go wild or go home, no braids.

Well, if she asked us to wait with cutting, then we wait. Can`t have an unhappy Midori.

We do plan to take her along on our assigments, do we?

>>24917789
Short hair can be sexy, but long hair is even better in some respects, works much better with the outfits we wear and should we choose to wear one is suits a greatcoat more than short hair, and it also works better with the hat.

>>24917794
Except Iori is lunch tomorrow, and Ruri is tomorrow afternoon.
I really don't think we have time for the first job before the Idol gig.

>>24917808

The third one, I think.

>>24917815

At least we can go full murderhobo on the last one.

Anon. I know how you feel. I feel the same, too. However.. Midori asked us not to cut it just now. And we can`t say no to that.

It can`t be helped.

Maybe we will cut it at a later date.

>>24917826

Okay, how about this?

We meed Iori today.

With Sayaka, we go do the Idol job after that, tomorrow.

While we're on the idol job we have Kyouko and Midori scout the location for the first job, set up an entry point, extraction routes, and maybe get some HUMINT on the ground if Midori's up for a sneaking mission.

Then, when the Idol job's over, we have all the prepwork for the smash-and-grab done and the whole thing should go of smoothly.

Decu summoning time?

>>24917850

Why don't we just settle the first job today, get it out of the way.

>>24917850

Even better than my old post, I agree.

Just have Kyouko and Midori do the third job with some backup while we're doing the first one and we're good.

There is no need to mess the order around

First > Iori > Second works fine

>The first job won't even take a half day
Assuming it doesn't go to shit, yes.
When has anything ever not gone to shit?

>>24917904
If it goes to shit we get done quicker

The job is "shoot motherfuckers grab object" if we took red, blue and us that wouldn't even be a warm up

>>24917904
It's a pretty safe assumption to say: Never.

>>24917884
Best to get Iori out of the way before something bad happens to her. Call it paranoia on my part.

>>24917883

The job is suppose to be 8 hours to a max of 24hrs.

It's morning right now. We can do this.

>>24917932

Agree to disagree then. I'm afraid I won't budge from my position of talking to Iori first before doing our job.

>>24917924
Yeah but doing Iori second means we can do some murdering to relax first then go deal with her shit

Then we also have a convenient out in that we have another job to go protect an idol

"Recommendations will be easy, if that's what you're asking for." Kyuubey nods. "If you want someone to be tracked, our Eversors will be more than up to the task. I can easily suggest a few squads you can pick from - ah, yes, Sakura Kyoko? You wanted to say something?"

The rest of you turn to look at the red-haired Eversor, who's been standing behind you, along with Sayaka. Kyoko reddens a bit at being the new focus of attention, but nods. "Y-yeah. If....if it's not oversteppin' or anything, and if it pleases the Warmaster..." She gestures towards you with a hesitating hand. "...I'd like to volunteer for the Search an' Recover. I've done it a couple of times before, and I kinda know how this thing goes." Her one eye sharpens slightly. "...Kind of shit that we're only being asked to do this three weeks in, but I'll do my best if I get the assignment. I'll have it done as soon as possible, too."

"...Well. As it turns out, I didn't need to recommend anyone after all." Kyuubey remarks with the slightest bit of amusement in its voice. "Sakura Kyoko's correct, Matsuda. Out of twenty search and recover missions she's been tasked with, she's only failed one of those. Although, if you take the circumstances back then into consideration, it wasn't really a failure, was it, Sakura Kyoko?"

"...As you say, sir," Kyoko says, her one eye narrowing. "I did find the objective, an' that's that."

That you remember, you note idly. Kyoko was asked to find a particularly rich client's son, who'd broken out of the psych ward. The Eversor found him hiding inside a warehouse by the docks - giggling and cackling as he crunched the bones of the preschool students who'd been declared missing only a couple of days after the young man's escape.

[1/2]

>>24917951

She called you to pick her up around after midnight, disturbing a sleep you'd drunk yourself into hours before. You did so soon enough, and what met you was Kyoko smoking quietly by the street while a warehouse burned itself to the ground behind her.

You'd never seen her so sullen before. So quiet. Didn't even talk to you the rest of the way back to the Officio.

Yes, if anything, it'd be Kyoko who you'd send for the third mission. She knows her way around, she knows how to talk to people you'd normally be yelling at on gunpoint.

"Your decision then, Matsuda? Do you choose Sakura Kyoko as the handler for the third mission, or would you like an alternative choice? Once more, I'll remind you that our client wants his daughter found as soon as possible."

"I was thinking of doing that anyway, bring Midori with you. She needs the experience"

I assume we agreed with the other load out, just if we should see to Iori first.

If he asks, just say we want to drink after the mission.

Midori will probably have a hard enough time adapting to the Officio, we all know how Teenage girls can be and I think it won`t help if we exclude her from the dangerous stuff, because people will start to see her as the Warmasters Pet or warming pen.

Othet than that, we know firsthand that Midori is a pretty decent Meguca, its just fighting that its not her forte.

Se if we have Jobs were we need someone who can do that thinking and make quick judgements, use Midori.

Oh, I'd been meaning to ask is the soul gem link thing we had with Midori-chan still intact or did it get cut in Siberia?

There are three other tasks that come to mind that we should do as soon as possible.

1. Get Yuma to fix Malal's legacy.

2. Talk to Midori about what happened in the barrer (do not do this on officio property QB should not know about the connection we share with pinky)

3. Find out where Oriko has done off to.

>>24918025
I agree, we might want to wait until Midori's had a little time to rest up from the hospital stay she was in because of the LAST firefight she was in.

Come to think of it, I forgot what exactly her injuries were, if one of the monsters got her or if RibbonHomuFragment shot her.

Latter would explain why ChiakiHomuFragment pulverized her not long after.

>>24918114
Can we request advanced weapons and movement (dodging) training for Midori? She's always seemed a little out of place in a fire fight to me, even if she has handled herself well for the most part.

>>24917967

>[]Have Kyoko take up the third mission.

I hope Midori can tag along, that would be a good way to start getting her settled in at the officio.

>>24917967
>[]Have Kyoko take up the third mission.
>Also have Midori go with her

>>24918180

And then got better.

Man, these girls get some really fucked-up jobs to do.

If we're not doing any missions today, I say we get some personal training time with our golden weapons.

>>24918255
I think we should get Kyuubey to take a look at the Hat, and maybe get a handle on controlling it. Or at least get used to what it does.

>>24918278

>Matsuda, this is a hat...

and then he'll be all condescending and stuff.

>>24918278
Nah, as Warmaster it's our responsibility to master the mysterious powers of The Hat! Besides, QB isn't going to be helpful on this one.

>>24918206

agreed

>>24918180
>>24918204
While I love how simply you put it I think he wanted a more complete answer

Deculture never actually specified what got Midori but given that she was charging RibbonHomu before she suddenly got all dead and that Murderface charged and subsequently reduced RibbonHomu's head to a stain on her shield I think we can surmise that she was killed by RibbonHomu

>>24917987 >>24917991 >>24918013

"Very well. Mami, make a note of this, notify our client that a specialist is on the case, and his daughter will be found..." Kyuubey pauses at this, turning to look at Kyoko again. "Your timeline for this, Sakura?"

"Depends, sir," Kyoko replies after a moment. "It really depends on what kinda information's already there, and what leads I got. But I got a Plan B if we're fucked there. So..." Her one crimson eye swivels up to the ceiling. "...I'd say two, three days at the most, sir. Longer if she's gone overseas, of course."

The Incubator nods again. "Very well. Matsuda, please give her the third envelope." You do so, and Kyoko nods in thanks. "Would you be needing some sort of support, or are you going on your own once more?"

Kyoko was just about to speak when you cut her off. You'd like to have Midori join Kyoko in the third mission, as soon as she's up and about. Midori's proven indispensable to you in Siberia, and your survival is proof and testament of her having her wits about her no matter the situation. This would also get her used to the new environment of the Officio, which you think is drastically different from her former one.

That's what you heard, anyway.

"...W-well, I guess that's alright?" Kyoko blinks her one good eye at you, shrugging. "I mean, I'm used to workin' solo, but having someone tagging along'd be nice."

"No objections, then?" Kyuubey asks, which the red-haired Eversor shakes her head in response to. "Very well. Update the mission docket to show that Sakura Kyoko and Hanegawa Midori are undertaking the third mission."

"So noted." Mami replies, before turning to Kyoko. "Kyoko-san, may I ask you to take up one of our new recruits as additional support? She's fresh out of basic training. Vindicare, but has very good analytical skills. Just a bit...awkward, socially. But she's fine in everything else."

[1/2]

>>24918364

"Eh? Er....well..." Kyoko looks at you, before shrugging. "...Sure? I don't mind. Vindicare support's kinda overkill when I'm already goin' with Midori, but sure, why not?"

Mami smiles. "Thank you, Sakura-san." At this, the red-haired Eversor blushes, and looks down. Sayaka merely shakes her head, a small smile on her face, and nudges the other Eversor in the ribs with an elbow.

"That settles that. Surprisingly, that took less time than I thought it would." Kyuubey seems to smirk. "Now, another matter. With the second mission beginning tomorrow proper, when would you like to attend to the first mission? Remember, the projected time of completion is only a reasonable assumption. It does not take into consideration of any untoward incidents." A pause. "...And it is in an off-shore facility, Matsuda."

When do you want the first mission to be held?

[]Before the second mission. It'll be a piece of cake.
[]After the second mission. You've...got some things to take care of, first.

>>24918373

>>24918373

>[]After the second mission. You've...got some things to take care of, first.

if we run in to unexpected trouble during the first mission we can take our time recovering afterwards.

The client for the first mission can say for certain that the object will be kept at the off-shore facility for a while longer correct?

If the fighting alone takes more than 12 hours or looks to be heading there, we're already beyond fucked and should be calling in backup/reinforcements.

Either it takes less than a day or its going to lead to something like a war.

>>24918373
[X] After the second mission. You've...got some things to take care of, first.

Yeah, off-shore facility. What could possibly go fucking wrong? Never say a mission'll be a piece of cake, that doesn't end well. Our transport out could be compromised at some point, the mission could take a fair bit longer than expected, we might end up with injuries and require time to recoup.

If we go for it first and something screws we'll have then screwed the pooch on the Idol mission as well and then it all just falls apart, like a watermelon getting shot by a .50 BMG.

>>24918426
Why would we want a hair cut? Long hair works better with the hat. If we put on a long coat it'll work better than short hair. It makes us look more mature and in charge which is something we want since we're Warmaster now.

While I admit the blue balling on the murdering is getting to me a bit we need to do a little more clean up and then we can cut loose

Also if we wait then Myouko should be available for the first mission which will mean it is more fun since we have someone to murder with

>>24918426
We can afford to wait a while before cutting it again. No need to do anything hasty.

Yes. Because with long hair its just another Homura.
With short hair, on the other hand, its definetly Chiaki "Murderface" Matsuda.

So I`d rather have a haircut that gives her her own character. Deal with it, Homufags.

>>24918653
Ok, now that I've seen this I'll throw my support behind long hair. Not switching sides on this, I just didn't care til now.

>>24918719

>>24918719
But we ARE another Homura. Short hair doesn't change that. It just makes us look stupid.

>>24918719

This is also part of the reason for me.

Besides, short looks better.

>>24918653

Wonderful. Keep the hair as it is, it fits the rank.

this.

we can keep the long hair for a little while but the short hair is when we changed for the better, short is when we said enough. we are NOT Homura Akemi we do not fail.

we are Chiaki matsuda
we are Murderface

I'm putting my support behind getting a ponytail. It lets us keep the long hair but gives us our own look, distinct from other Homus as, most importantly, distinct from Murderface. We're not her anymore. We're Warmaster Matsuda, who survived witching out, is mastering the golden weapons and has a bitching ponytail and hat.

>>24918767
Uh not really
Chiaki Matsuda was "oh shit we drank until we forgot everything including our own name again"

"Very well." Kyuubey doesn't even need to tell Mami, this time - the blonde is already noting it, no doubt to tell the client about your decision, whoever they were. Another first. You're no longer confined to what the client wants - now you're the one making them adjust to your schedule. It's...new. And kind of nice, actually.

"That about settles it, I think." Kyuubey suddenly stands up from his seat and hops up onto his desk, before leaping off and walking towards you. "Sakura, Miki, you're dismissed for the time being. Mami, please hold my calls - I'll be showing our new Warmaster her office. Matsuda, follow me."

"Yes, sir." Mami replies smoothly, while the two Eversors behind you snap to attention. You turn to follow Kyuubey out of his office, but not before bumping your fist against Kyoko's held-out one, earning yourself a disapproving glare from Sayaka. You tip your hat at her in response, and you savor her scowled reaction as the doors close behind you.

"...I appreciate you not breaching that particular subject with the others in the vicinity, Matsuda." Kyuubey suddenly speaks as you step into the elevator with your mutant cat of a boss, him sitting on his haunches by your feet as the lift gives a slight lurch. "I realize you have questions about the Research and Development base in Siberia. Inconvenient questions, but questions nonetheless, and as such, need to be answered. But, as far as possible, only answered for those who need to know. And most of the girls under my employ do not need to know."

Yes. That's exactly what you thought he'd say.

"Is it, now?" Kyuubey seems to let out a sigh. "Very well. Ask what you wish to ask." There's a slight tightening of the air between the both of you. "I am now speaking to you and you alone. No one else will be able to hear our conversation. If you wish to reply, simply think it - I'll be able to pick up your response then."

[1/2]

>>24918805

Ah. So it's like that pulsing thing, is it?

"...Yes. Exactly like that. Now, ask what you wish to ask. I only ask, in return, that what information I give you does not get repeated outside of this conversation."

What do you ask?

>>24918813

"Why is that thing being contained in Siberia?"

the thing is way to dangerous.

>>24918813
What the fuck is with everything that happened there

Since we set foot in there it was a clusterfuck of things we wanted to wring out of you but I suppose you could start with how exactly that other furry little bastard exploded a goddamned soul gem and work your way up from there

>>24918813

'Course not, boss. Why do you keep a witch in that base? What's her use to you?

>>24918855
You're forgetting "How Dickbutt," "Why amnesia," and "What Midorin", as well as the more general question of his interest in Faust/our crazy.

>>24918813

[x] Pick up the cat. Give it pets.

Can't act smug when you're being petted, you little cat rat.

>>24918813
What the fuck was done to this hat?

>>24918894
Cats are perfectly capable of smugness while being petted.

>>24918813

Three things:

1.) We need to ask about Walpurgis.

2.)There was also a question floating about a "second procedure" that Kharn was unwilling to tell us about because we weren't full Warmaster yet.

3.) Any intel on Faust he might have been holding back on us.

4.) He already knew about the golden weapons since Kharn's flashback. Why in the hell did he let us and Kirika use one if he already knew before hand?

>>24918805
Were you aware of the effects That Thing is having on the whole area?
Were you aware that It's able to influence Faust's behaviour?

Because guess what's going on

>>24918813
Is there a witch in the basement of the Siberia complex. If not, what is it.
Is my soul gem linked to it.
Is Midori's soul gem still linked to my soul gem.
Is Jyuubey supposed to be able to remotely control his contracted magical girls. If so, can all Incubators do it.
Same for forcing them to witch out.
What the hell is up with this hat.

Remember people, this is an Incubator. Questions with yes/no answers would be best.

>>24918894
>Can't act smug when you're being petted, you little cat rat.
Oh man, you have no idea

>>24918922
Upfront, no, but he doesn't seem to be actively fucking people over like in canon, at least.

Not to let our guard down, of course, but we can probably assume he's not being actively malicious.

>>24918903

Not when said petter previously shot at you.

I'd think his skin will be crawling in wtf.

>>24918805

>>24918813
This >>24918911 and if there is any Magical Girl known as the Prophet.
Also, what do the Incubators know of the Golden Weapons? Are the other Officio's actively using them, actively hunting them, and/or only containing them?

Is Kyuubey considered more of a rogue than Jyuubey?
On whose side will the other Incubators fall?

"...I was hoping this wouldn't be another impromptu interview session, Matsuda, but you are my Warmaster now. Very well, I will--" You cut off his little mind-speech right then and there as you reach down to pick him up off the floor with both hands, and then setting him onto one arm, in front of you. The other ruffling the fur on top of his head. "...Matsuda? What are you doing?"

Nothing. Just trying to get to know your boss better, now that the both of you will be working closer than ever before. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

"...I...I suppose not." There's a note of wary hesitation in the Incubator's voice. "Well then. Erm. Where was I?"

He was answering your questions, you remind him.

"Ah, yes. Well. Alright." He fidgets in your arms slightly, as if debating whether or not to struggle out of your grasp, but seems to resign himself to his current situation. "The organism installed in the Siberian Base." A pause here. "For all intents and purposes, yes, it is a Witch. It has a name, and I would tell you that name, but I have the suspicion that you know of it already. So let's not--"

Walpurgisnacht. You say this out loud, in the silence of the elevator.

If it was possible for an Incubator to wince, Kyuubey would have done so. Instead, you feel his fur prickle underneath your touch.

"...Yes. That." The mutant cat sounds almost offended. "I have never gotten used to the nomenclature you girls give such a thing. It should not be thought of as simply a Witch, really - it is a force of nature. A communion of consciousness. It is--"

It's a monster, that's what it is. What is it doing there?

"Being held captive, of course. Under strict observation. Suppressed into docility - or something approaching it, in any case."

It's here that the the elevator doors open to a floor that's...largely deserted, except for cleaning staff going about their business. They seem to be cleaning out rooms that had, at one time, been occupied. Each one of them giving you a nod as you pass by.

That's not what you mean, you remind him, frowning.

"That's what you asked. I merely answered. Keep going straight, Matsuda, until you reach the next corridor."

Alright. Well. Is your Soul Gem linked to it?

"The procedure was a necessary one." Kyuubey replies after a moment. "The details of which are confidential, even to other Incubators." Another pause. "...I will remind you, Matsuda, that the procedure expended a considerable amount of Officio resources. It would have been cheaper to simply have you retired and be done with it, Warmaster or no. I could have simply chosen another candidate."

...Then why didn't he?

"A promise." Kyuubey states this. "I made a promise, and I am not in the business of making promises I don't intend to keep."

. . .Well. At least he's being honest, somewhat. How about the other questions?

"I'm getting to them. Turn left here." Kyuubey snaps, and you follow his directions. "Midori's Soul Gem is still linked to yours, but it's only a one-way connection. Your circuit - the one the procedure gave you in order to counteract the Golden Weapons' corruption - shouldn't involve her. Straight ahead, Matsuda."

Bossy little bastard.

"As for Jyuubey controlling his contractees and forcing them to Witch Out...well. Potentially, all Incubators can do the former, if they make it a stipulation in the contract itself. I make sure to leave that out, however - I only require being able to monitor you girls from afar, nothing more. As for the latter..." It's here that the Incubator falls silent. "It is...taboo, for us, to do something like that. Forbidden. But it is possible, yes."

If it's possible, then why not just make girls witch out regularly for their grief seeds?

[2/3]

>>24919683

"Because we need to expend energy on our own to do so. The energy that we accumulate from grief seeds in the first place. The payoff is literally nil, and the risks too great. And it's a PR nightmare, in any case. We have all agreed not to resort to anything like that, even in the most dire of circumstances." His voice becomes a bit harder, here. "If...Jyuubey has resorted to something like that, then he has truly fallen out of favor with the rest of my brothers."

While this conversation had been carrying on, Kyuubey's directions had led you to what looks to be one of the only two locked doors in the entire floor. The first one is plain, unassuming, but with a home-made placard with the name 'MALAL' nailed upon it. The other one is more ostentatious and gaudy, with a skull doorknob. "WARMASTER" is embossed on the dark mahogany door, in polished brass lettering. Kyuubey directs you to the latter.

"As for your last question, Matsuda...well, it's just a hat, isn't it?" The Incubator blinks as you pause in front of what looks to be your new office. "Is there something wrong with it?"

How do you respond?

>>24919696
"Yep. Just a hat."
>Put the hat on him.

>>24919696
"It was KHARN's hat. That by itself scares me."

>>24919696
"Apparently said hat causes massive arousal in everyone around it when it's worn. I tried to apply science but was unable to figure out why"

>>24919719
Don't forget:

>Point him towards the general direction of the nearest Mahou Shoujo.

>>24919696

"Yes, it's just a hat. I think."

>>24919732
I like this, even if only because it uses arousal and science in the same sentence.

>>24919742
I WANT TO SEE IT.

"I like this hat. It makes me sexy. THink Mami would accept a date with me if I wear the hat?"

>>24919732
this

>>24919696
>>24919719
"Yep. Just a hat."
>Put the hat on him.
"I will test who looks better in it"

>>24919732
>apply science

Wait... QB must have a science department right? Maybe we could give them the hat for a few days to see if they can figure out how it works? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

>>24919696

I've experience kharn-like urges and inclinations when the hat is worn.

I've also noticed that it appears to subtly affect the people around the wearer. It could of course be just the fact that it IS a warmaster's hat and our employees have learned to respect the authority it carries but when I tested it on Kyoko, it managed to overcome Sayaka's public sensibilities, causing the little incident we spoke of earlier.

Strangely it didn't seem to affect Kyoko in the slightest. How odd.

>>24919696
"Kharn seemed to leave a bit of herself behind in the hat."

>>24919696

point out that the 'situation' in the elevator involving Kyoko and Sayaka only happened after we put the hat on Kyoko.

>>24919719
>>24919742

QB can pulse.

I don't think it'll work on him.

>>24919780

If all else fails, we put on The Hat ourselves and demonstrate.

>>24919766
>Warmaster, my entire R&D division appears to be engaged in an Orgy. did you have anything to do with that?
>Also, would you mind looking into why siberia lost an entire squadron of migs?

>>24919719
Seconding this
It seems to affect anyone around the wearer meguca or not

>>24919719
Do we have a picture of a Kyuubey sitting? We can crop in the hat on it for a quick picture

The hat won't fit on the cat.

So you put the Cat...

IN THE HAT.

Like a Serving Dish.

Please Decu.

So who thinks the 3rd mission will go horribly wrong, and we'll have to team up with a pissed off Sayaka, who will blame it all on us, to rescue Kyoko, Midori and the as yet nameless rookie?

>>24920146
I think you mean "who doesn't think"
It's going wrong because we aren't there, it is just a matter of how wrong

I think all three will go horribly wrong.

Or is Iori

Totally a new villain, calling it now.

>>24920208
>Or is Iori

Can't be. The girl has been missing for 3 weeks and we spoke to Iori yesterday.

unless Iori is so mad at us she kidnapped the daughter of another client hoping we'd track her down. She's decided that if she can't be our lover she'll be our nemesis.

Didn't someone call that waaaaay back in like, thread 6?

Probably. There's always been a lot of paranoia over her.

>>24919719 >>24919732

"What? Arousal? That's absurd." Kyuubey seems to almost huff in derision at your thoughts. "I realize Kharn had her own reputation during her tenure as Warmaster, but be reasonable. You can't attribute it to something she wore or used during her career, nor should you abscribe any esoteric value to those things simply because she used them." The Incubator in your arms seem to be quite unconvinced. "It's just a hat, Matsuda. Do stop fussing about it. Now, open the door - it should be open for you right this moment."

You frown at this, but reach out to curl your fingers around the skull-shaped doorknob. You turn it, feeling the mechanisms inside engage and allow you to push the heavy mahogany door open.

"Welcome to your new office, Warmaster." Kyuubey says as you finally see the insides of the office that used to be The Betrayer's. That used to be owned by Valnikov Kharn.

It's...quite the office, that much is visible. There's a genuine authentic tiger rug right in the middle of the room, complete with the paws, the tail, and the stuffed head - the mouth twisted into a permanent fang-baring snarl. A large flat-panel television affixed to one wall, with what appears to be an old-fashioned phonograph underneath it, placed with reverent care in the middle of the entertainment center. A mini-refrigerator at one corner. Another door yet in another corner, beside what looks to be a rather stuffed book case - probably leading to the Warmaster's Quarters.

But what really catches your attention is the throne behind the large mahogany desk with the folded laptop placed forlornly on top of it.

The throne specifically made out of skulls.

Kharn really wasn't kidding about the skull throne thing.

[1/2]

>>24920338
>skull throne
better have leather upholstery. skulls aren't comfortable for sitting on

>>24920243
Or you know she never told her family she was staying with Garcia after the incident

>>24920338
Still need to drop the hat on the little bastard when there are people around

>>24920358
We should redecorate, but sent a message to Kharn first asking if she wants to keep anything. It's only polite.

>>24920323
I don't remember that, and at this rate I think it'd be out of character.

Really cool, but out of character.

>>24920338
Betting something important is hidden in the bookcase

>>24920370
>Or you know she never told her family she was staying with Garcia after the incident

Possible, but unlikely as that would have been incredibly anti-climactic if we had done that one ourselves.

"So who'se the missing girl Kyuubey?"

"Iori Minase."

"Oh, she's at her new boyfriends house. Here's the address."

>>24920385
It's a secret passage to a big vault full of panties, that Kharn swims in like Scrooge McDuck.

>>24920410
Drawfag? Please?

>>24920338

"Yes, she really wasn't. Three hundred skulls, taken from her assignments." Kyuubey confirms the question you didn't want to ask. "There are some Magical Girls in there, too. I believe Ahriman's skull is right at the top." He nods towards the skull at the very highest tip of the throne's back rest. "She added it there herself."

...Isn't it uncomfortable?

"Well, it doesn't offer the best back support, no," Kyuubey replies after a moment. "I believe she uses a cushion or something, though, for when she sits down. Otherwise, you're better off just standing."

He doesn't say.

"It does make for a very intimidating conversation piece, you'll have to agree. Quite a handy thing when you're receiving recalcitrant subordinates."

...Yeah. You can see that.

"Your quarters are right through that door. The usual amenities await you, there, but the bed is especially one of note." He seems to read your disgusted expression. "Don't worry, we had it replaced the moment Kharn abdicated her position. It's been unused."

Great.

"Will that be all, then, Matsuda?" Kyuubey says, squirming in your arms again. "You did say you had other things you'd like to take care of."

"Um, excuse me?" A voice suddenly speaks up from behind you. You turn to look at none other than Kumatora - the Magical Girl you remember training, so long ago - meekly peeking her head into the office. "G-good morning, Murder--er, Warmaster, Incubator." She bows crisply at the waist. When she straightens up, she's looking right at her feet, cheeks burning. As if avoiding your gaze entirely, as well as Kyuubey's.

"What is it, Ishikawa?" Kyuubey asks before you could.

"Um, Miss Mami asked me to pass a message on. Sir, you have a message from the Twentieth. You did say to hold your calls, but she says it's urgent."

"...I'll take it up in my office." Kyuubey lets out a sigh. "Are we done here, Matsuda?" He asks this again.

How do you respond?

Ask the girl why she's trying to out-red a tomato.
