It's to be said that you've dealt with the rich and powerful before. People with too much money and too little sense, people who make a living doing nothing but have other people work themselves to death in cubicle farms for them.

Suprisingly, only a handful had really given you that itch to give them a Vindicare makeover on the spot. Most of them had simply been clueless, sheltered folk oblivious to how the world outside of their money nest actually worked and toiled. Some had even been nice to you, just hardworking folk who'd managed to get into new money and were simply trying to protect themselves from the sudden appearance of long-lost friends and relatives looking for a cut. Harmless, to an extent.

But Kirishima Ruri, the most powerful and successful idol in the world - and your current principal - seems to be doing her utmost best into tempting you into reducing her pretty little face into a ragged, fleshy hole you can put your entire arm right through.

[1/2]

>>25638719

It's not just orchestrating the world's worst cover for a bodyguard by rigging a contest her fans were screaming themselves hoarse for. It's not just creating a convoluted setup that took you completely by surprise, someone who's supposed to be trying her best to make sure she doesn't get killed or raped or both. And it's certainly not just her being petty enough about you mucking up her plan - sending Sayaka in as the sacrificial lamb instead of yourself - that she even had Iori, of all people, rehearse with her a script involving magical girl lesbians fucking each other.

No, it's all of those, all wrapped up neat and tidy with this...twenty-four hour webcast thing that's going on at the moment, delivered via a camera wielded by a sweaty, narrow-shouldered bundle of inferiority complexes and eyebags and hair that could stand to be washed a bit more thoroughly.

This is being Warmaster? This is what Kharn dealt with in a daily basis?

This isn't worth the office, or the apartment, or the hat. It's not even worth the tiny pleasure you take from seeing Sayaka squirm every time she sees you and knowing that if you told her to jump, her first immediate reply would have to be 'how high' - and any variation of 'fuck you Murderface' would be the second.

If it weren't for the fact that...that Mami is counting on you, then...well, you don't know what you'd do. Quit in a huff, probably. Hand in your resignation, cash in everything, and hunt witches on your own. Just leave.

There are also other reasons, you suppose. There's Midori, who you have to take care of. Misaka, who you've heard is getting courted by other Officios to head their R&D staff. And Kyoko, who you're frankly worried about sometimes, what with her being so fucking nice and trusting that you half-expect her dying by sacrificing herself for someone she doesn't even know.

[2/3]

>>25638723

...Shit. That's a lot of reasons.

What the fuck ever happened to being the Magical Girl with nothing to lose?

Well, if anything, you've got a lot to lose if you start fucking up again. Including your temper, if this idol doesn't stop testing you.

As you consider the foot-high pile of pancakes in front of you - the butter desert eagle on the uppermost pancake slowly and gently melting into the syrup - it's with as much blinding hate you can muster that you swivel your gaze at Ruri, and the girl holding the camera beside her. You focus your entire being into willing the handheld broadcasting device to explode, and to have a shard of its camera lens spear off and bury itself deep into Ruri's soft, mushy brain. No doubt Deepthroat's hands would be reduced to useless, bloody twigs of splintered bone, but them's the breaks.

. . .

Of course, that doesn't really happen. Instead, you play along with the new cover she'd given you - that of being a Murder Mayumi cosplayer. You grumble something about how it simply comes as second nature to you. You thought they'd be satisfied with the answer and get you out of the camera's line of sight, but apparently you're still in the limelight. Ruri's smile turning into a grin.

"...And get that fucking camera out of my face before I shoot it," You find yourself growling, before you could stop yourself. Deepthroat visibly shakes at this, the camera rattling in her hands, and she probably would've fallen back had it not been for Ruri steadying her with a hand.

It's here that you see her wink at you, a quick gesture - before she places herself directly in front of the camera, blocking you from view, addressing the audience.

[3/4]

>>25638728

"Hee! That's definitely Murder Mayumi-chan, all right! See, viewers? That's how Chiaki-chan takes cosplaying seriously! It's an entirely new level, super maniac rank S-S-S!" Ruri giggles here. "But don't worry, you'll see her a lot in this webcast, and also in the concert, so stay tuned! And now, a word from our sponsors!" She nods at Deepthroat, who then presses something on the camera and lowers it.

"Whew. Finally." The idol lets out a sigh, rolling her shoulders. "That was rough." She turns towards her sweaty personal assistant. "How was I, then?"

"G-green..." Deepthroat murmurs, her eyes wide. "Very...very green, Ruri-sama."

"Really?" A grin curls soft, perfect lips. "What kind of green?"

Deepthroat takes a step back at this, stuttering all the while. "W-what kind? Uh...um...F-forest Green. Emerald. Viridian. A-any...any kind of green you want, Ruri-sama..."

"Aww. You're too nice to me, Noriko." She reaches over with a perfectly-manicured hand and pats the short, sweaty girl on the shoulder, before carefully wiping that hand with a tissue. "Now, please take Sayaka-chan to her room next door. Iori-chan, please accompany Sayaka-chan for the moment, as I need to speak with the Warmaster of the Ninth personally. I'll decide how long you get to stay in the box after that."


"Mrnf?" Sayaka grunts, looking up from her plate quizzically - chewing rapidly and then swallowing, she repeats her muffled query. "W-what? But I'm not even done eating! I skipped breakfast getting here--"

"Just go, please, Sayaka-chan?" Ruri says coolly, but it's Iori who finally manages to make the blue Eversor relent. It's a good thing, too - you saw how Sayaka's free hand had reached down to her waist, as if to pull a weapon from underneath the table. Reflex, probably. You'll have to thank Iori later.

"...Please be careful, Chiaki-san," Iori murmurs as she passes you by, Deepthroat ushering both her and Sayaka out the door. With a click, you're now left alone with Kirishima Ruri - who had now taken this time to unpack a particularly suspicious-looking piece of luggage. One that's long, and heavy from the looks of it. She undoes the locks, throws it open - and you could smell a faint hint of gun oil even when you're almost facefirst into a pile of pancakes.

Well. First time you've heard of an idol packing heat. Major heat, seeing as the customized sniper rifle she's now carefully assembling on the bed is almost nearly as big as the Anzio that Misaka used for ventilating Kirika.

...She's pretty good with assembling the damn thing, you note. It's a rather huge beast of a rifle, with the words 'Love Story' lovingly engraved into the body and stock. The scope itself has a rather cute-looking bright green ribbon tied around it.

"You'll have to forgive the mess. Noriko-chan is woefully slow about unpacking, and I end up having to do most of it myself." The idol suddenly says, apropos of nothing. "Why aren't you eating your pancakes? Aren't they your favorite?"

How do you respond?

Huh. You really did make a new thread today, just as you promised.

Oh boy, the most exciting time of the day!

Depends on the scheme in question honestly. Most folk with power ARE Lawful Evil after all.

If it doesn't concern us, our immediate acquaintances or our home, we can probably ignore it.

If she wanted to kill us, pulling out a superlong rifle and assembling it in front of us in the middle of a room is a pretty funny way of going about it.

Still, always good to keep up the shadowruns.

Memo to self: phone or text Midori and Have Words with her about the whole "Murder Mayumi movie" thing.


I forget, did Chiaki learn about the movie beforehand at some point? Or did we only just now find out?


Also -- I can see Murderface being pissed off about the movie thing... but I'm actually a bit surprised and unsure about why everyone got so mad at this job in general.

I mean... to me, her reasons for hiring us seem perfectly sensible and logical.

>Land the voice-acting part for the newest popular yuri manga OVA
>Know an idol who knows the girl that the doujin was based on
>Learn this girl (who has recently actually been promoted to the head of her office/agency) is a bodyguard/assassin for hire
>Decide to hire her as a bodyguard; she DID successfully guard Iori through two things most others might have died too
>As a bonus, this could serve as a PR thing too, because she's like a Murder Mayumi cosplayer!
>Offer to pay Kyubey lots of money for the trouble.

Seriously, all this seems perfectly reasonable to me... I'm just not getting why people think that what Ruri did was unusual or out-of-bounds in some way.

Seriously, it's just... Gah. She spends a lot of money to hire a bodyguard who would also hang out with her; and this gets her both a, well, bodyguard but also a PR boost to the upcoming video she'll be doing voice-acting for.

>>25638864
Fair enough. I'm talking "the concert is going to end in mass hypnosis for her army of doom" type stuff here though. We shouldn't kill her just because she pissed us off of course.

>>25638873
It's an OVA series, and yes, we knew about it, but not that it was this far along in production.

[x] What's with the gun?

>>25638764
First off Noriko doesn't get any punishment, I chose to give that ticket to Sayaka and so you don't get to punish her over it
That is one hell of a gun for an idol to be packing, you aren't a gun model as well or anything are you?

>>25638873
> I'm just not getting why people think that what Ruri did was unusual or out-of-bounds in some way.
Lets see.

She abuses her assistant.

Sakaya was with her for ten minutes and already hates her guts.

Iori's warning us to be careful.

And now she has a fucking huge sniper rifle.

THIS ISN'T SUSPICIOUS AT ALL.

>>25638873
Honestly, part of me suspects that this really will turn out to be nothing more than Decu playing our paranoia, and there really is no dark plot at all.

Gentlemen!

We have a good chance for more snooping here. If we can, and its out of sight, SNAG ONE OF RURI UTENSILS.

We can use it to run the checks against the public record prints of Ruri, see if it matches the old ones we can lift off Sayaka's collection.

Holy shit, WE CANNOT ALLOW HER TO BURN IT YET. We need that collection to cross reference the prints for CSI: Mikitahara

>>25638873
Because Chiaki's at 25 shadowruns and Ruri's only making it spiral.

Remember her talking to Iori about "I WILL MAKE MURDERFACE MINE, MWAHAHA!" in their meeting. That and she's making too many allusions to everything.

>>25638764
[x] "Forget the pancakes dollface and level with me, I don't appreciate surprises if that wasn't already clear."

>>25638875

Not without good reason of course.

She is a well paying client. A very well paying one and it would not do for word to spread that QB Heavy kills its best clients.

>>25638893
>She abuses her assistant.
>Sakaya was with her for ten minutes and already hates her guts.
>Iori's warning us to be careful.

All of that can be explain as she's a rich and famous bitch.

It's one thing to *BECOME* suspicious from learning that Sayaka became disillusioned within 10 minutes and that this girl pulled out a sniper rifle -- but by that point, people seemed to have already hated her before that.


Although, we should make a note to talk to Sayaka as to how exactly she became disillusioned in like 10 minutes. (If we don't just find out ourselves very fast anyway.)

Iori got the bad end of her character. She obviously doesn't trust her. Nothing really that far fetched in the idol world.

Money. Loads of money. More than one star likes guns and has a good gun collection.

Unfortunately, all things that can be explained with far more mundane reasons, as of yet.

Of course, this whole thing smells but we don't need to be violent or rude, yet.

I think it started when the "have a good time with the Ninth Warmaster" was connected to the "I'm gonna steal Chiaki away from you Iori" thing. That kind of put a negative tint on things.

Then we learned about the magical girl albums, and the doppelganger murder.

Then she tried to fuck with us in the competition.

>>25638930

she might give the rifle to us as a present, maybe she learned how to assemble it to impress us?

>>25639003
And neither do you, you idiot.
So why don't you just fuck off?

>>25638873
The problems are twofold.

1. She knows an awful lot about us. We've only been the Warmaster for a very short period of time, and she seems to understand our ways and interests in guns and pancakes, and her bringing us to the very hotel, and the very ROOM that Iori was attacked in, on top of bringing in Iori in particular, and also the MMxMM thing we're attached to.

There are a LOT of VERY CONVENIENT things being set up here, and it's suspicious, in addition to the fact that we still have no idea what her motive is.

2: She's been a jerk with the mission itself, in the fact that she has tossed us the curveball of the rigged contest with no warning or prior discussion. Throwing us into strange scenarios with nothing ahead of time, and in very public places, isn't a very good way to treat your security detail. In addition, 24/hour webcasting is still a pretty big step above what we were expecting, which was probably more along the lines of "Probably stay inside most of the time where we'd have breathing room, but still go out on dates and events".

>>25639003
>>25639013
Both of you calm the fuck down and don't act like children.

Actually, why would an idol be good with a sniper rifle?

>>25639031
Hobby?

>>25639031
Because she is a magical girl.

The sniper rifle is fucking with my mind. Handguns, fine, can be used for defense. But sniper rifles? What game is she hunting in the middle of the concert?

Is it meant for us? If she knows as much about us as I think she does, she'd probably assume that we bring our own weapons. Unless hers is something special, specifically for killing whoever she has her sights on..

>>25639031
Because she's really a Vindicare who killed Ruri and took her place.

>>25639031
Because she's a robot, beep boop

We should set her up on a date with Tiny Pete.

Honestly, one possible explanation for the sniper rifle? (As well as the pancakes.) Is that she's actually a huge Murder Mayumi and/or Murderface fangirl. And the pancakes and gun is her way of trying to befriend us.

>>25638962
>I think it started when the "have a good time with the Ninth Warmaster" was connected to the "I'm gonna steal Chiaki away from you Iori" thing. That kind of put a negative tint on things.

Okay, though... I think we'd broken up with Iori, like, before we even left for Siberia. The "steal her away" thing might have been Ruri making a joke -- or being a bitch to Iori.

>Then she tried to fuck with us in the competition.

Honestly, that sort of felt like a clever way to excuse a bodyguard's constant presence near her. A neat way to have a reason for a bodyguard.

>Then she tried to fuck with us in the competition.

That, I agree, is legitimately worrying. However, it COULD be the mundane explanation. Because sometimes the best way to feed paranoia is to have there not be a problem at all. Argh.

>>25638972

I went to sleep before previous thread finished. I don't think I ever posted in it at all -- or at least, I kept out of the... fucktoy or whatever comments.

I didn't participate in it either. That didn't stop you from attacking me out of nowhere.

>>25639016
>She knows an awful lot about us. We've only been the Warmaster for a very short period of time, and she seems to understand our ways and interests in guns and pancakes

Its been a long time ago so I forgot, but... did Iori know about our pancakes thing?

Alternatively, after she learned about us from Iori and decided to hire us, she called up Kyubey and started negotiating hiring us and asked Kyubey a ton of questions about what we were like and what we liked.

>and also the MMxMM thing we're attached to.

Okay yeah but as I pointed out, the MMxMM connection could be a reason FOR hiring us. Its not a coincidence in this case, its a deliberate PR thing.

>>25639016
And again nothing she has said, done or organized so far is beyond what she could have gotten from Iori, publicly available information or the manga written about us

Iori did mention that Ruri came to her in her time of need after the near-rape incident. If you'll recall, she even went shopping with her for the Butler and Maid uniform used in the massacre. She talks alot about Chiaki during this period and it is very likely that this is the source of intel on our likes and dislikes. She probably even knows about Mami's pancakes. Everything else has been shown to Iori at some point or the other too. As for MMxMM, its a pretty famous series at this point. Anyone could have spotted the more than passing resemblance. We should begin ringing the alarm bells IF she IDs Green Green, though.

The second bit can be explained as Ruri going on a power trip. Shes amusing herself with the things she can do and obviously enjoys the idea of us and Iori dancing in her palm.

So anyway, I just realised I had this in my Miku folder.

>>25639035
But given how public an idol's life is, it doesn't seem all that plausible that she could develop that talent without a lot of people knowing about it.

I mean, it would've been one of the first things Sayaka would have mentioned when she gushed over Ruri. If she can hide that, who knows how deep the deception goes?

>>25639043

>Then she tried to fuck with us in the competition.

>That, I agree, is legitimately worrying. However, it COULD be the mundane explanation. Because sometimes the best way to feed paranoia is to have there not be a problem at all. Argh.


Shit, I fucked up a copy+paste. I meant to quote this part:
>Then we learned about the magical girl albums, and the doppelganger murder.

Because this part WAS suspicious... but could also be nothing.

Hee.

>>25639043
>Honestly, that sort of felt like a clever way to excuse a bodyguard's constant presence near her. A neat way to have a reason for a bodyguard.

You know what might be another good reason for having a bodyguard?

BECAUSE SHE IS A RICH AND POPULAR IDOL. KIDNAPPINGS, RAPES AND OTHER TERRIBLE THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO HER WITHOUT AT LEAST 4 BODYGUARDS.

>>25639054
Sayaka thinks guns are for chumps and fights with a sword.

Maybe the gun thing or how Ruri seems to like Murderface more than her were part of her disillusionment.

>>25639067
But we don't look like a typical bodyguard. To joe public who doesn't know about magic girls we would look like a very strange choice of guardian.

>>25639054
But is it?
Her life as an idol is very public but she could disguise herself and do all sorts of things.

Being a public figure might make it harder but if you have to do costumes / make up / etc in your daily life you could probably apply that to making you utterly unremarkable

>>25639072
She wouldn't have been so cordial towards us if that were the case.

>>25639043
The competition thing WAS a neat way to be a reason for a bodyguard - had she warned us about this at all. We were expecting to spend our time smoking in backrooms until needed for publicity stunts as her 'date' or to hang out at concerts, not to have to play as a deranged cosplayer of ourselves and superfan in front of cameras 24/7.

>>25639067
>BECAUSE SHE IS A RICH AND POPULAR IDOL.

This, why the fuck would a bodyguard need a cover-up?

>>25639064

>>25639047
>She probably even knows about Mami's pancakes.

Hmm, come to think of it, didn't Mami take over from us at guarding Iori at some point? So Mami might've mentioned the pancakes think to Iori.

>>25639067
Yyyyeesss... But this way you get a bodyguard that people don't realize is a bodyguard. Hell, its even possible that our straight-up having guns would be excused as being part of our Murder Mayumi cosplay.

>>25639088
I thought I was Alpharius?

>>25639067
Yeah, she's got all those big gorilla security types, but how is she going to excuse the teenage girl always hanging around her, that goes everywhere she goes, when the Officios make a modicum of effort in hiding their existence and the existence of Magical Girls.
It'd look kind of weird for someone like Chiaki to always be hanging around Ruri for 4.5 days without SOME kind of explanation, and saying we're a bodyguard kind of exposes the Masquerade that the Incubators don't want exposed.

Now, was it a bitch move to spring it on us without warning? Yes.
Did she do it because she believes her security is compromised? A good possibility.
Should we drop the assignment because of it? No.

>>25639073
>To joe public who doesn't know about magic girls we would look like a very strange choice of guardian.

Yes and? This is about the client not if the bodyguard's feelings are hurt because of the
general public.

Well, I get what you mean. But here's the thing: If Sayaka, being one of Ruri's biggest fans from early on in Ruri's career, didn't know about the sniper rifle stuff....

Well, what else is Ruri capable of hiding? Like I said in my other post, an idol's life is very public. To be able to conceal something like that means she could be hiding god knows how many other dangerous things about her.

>>25639043
>A neat way to have a reason for a bodyguard.
Which she failed to inform us of.
>did Iori know about our pancakes
She was hanging out with Mami.

Which, once again, she failed to inform us of.
>>25639078
A troll, apparently.

>>25639051
Duude. It all makes sense now.

>>25639093
And then it all becomes moot when Sayaka informs us that she's also an Olympic-level sharpshooter which is part of her appeal.

>>25639089

No. I am Alpharius.

>>25639092
That was not my point at all. I was thinking more along the lines of people trying to dig around to find out why a skinny teen girl is working as a bodyguard, or people who would do her harm being encouraged to try something because her bodyguard is "just a girl".

Damn imbeciles.

Also, just because one camera is in the open does not mean it is the ONLY camera. There are probably many hidden cameras all around.

>>25639103
No, I am!

>>25639091
>and saying we're a bodyguard kind of exposes the Masquerade that the Incubators don't want exposed.

There is no fucking masquarade and every Officio sents their girls on bodyguard contracts all the time.

>>25639047

It does seem like something that a rich person with too much money to throw around and way too much spare time can put together. She's obviously charismatic, or just knows how people tick.

Although I'm unsure if her being so blatant and flaunting all of her knowledge of Murderface & Murderface accessories is a good sign or not. Just can't shake the feeling that she might be connected with the fake Mami-head that was delivered to Chiaki in the bar.

>>25639102
Maybe. But if Sayaka expresses surprise at the sniper rifle thing when we mention it later, there's going to be some trouble.

>>25639078
>why the fuck would a bodyguard need a cover-up?
>>25639092
>not if the bodyguard's feelings are hurt because of the
general public.
The existence of Magical Girls is kept from the public and QB and the other Incubators use their media blackout teams to make sure that their existence is only known to potential clients and not the general public.
They don't want the secret getting out, for their reasons, and we're have to go along with it.

>>25639107
Given she is now assembling a sniper rifle, I doubt that somewhat.

>>25639108
I'm alpharius and so's my wife!

>>25639091
>but how is she going to excuse the teenage girl always hanging around her, that goes everywhere she goes

By using the same excuse she had to use when we gave the finger to her retarded plan? By telling Chiaki is an assistant just like Deepthroat is?

>>25639098

I'm not contesting the "failed to inform us" parts.

I'm just saying that there ARE reasons or possible explanations for most things she did, even if many of them would come with a tinge of "Also, she's a bitch" or "Also, she failed to tell us this for no good reason."

>>25639103>>25639108
... You guys LIED to me! You bastards!

>>25639110
Then why is it mentioned specifically that the public is not aware of the existence of Magical Girls and that blackouts on the media and PR teams are used to cover up their existence?

>>25639115
I'm thinking that she's just basically Idol Joffrey, and is going to start firing wildly into the city below because she can.

>>25639103
I thought you were Omegon?

Or its part of her appeal.

Omae no hearto, nerai utsu ze~

>>25639128
The only reason she has done anything, from doing the voice shit with Iori right down to requesting our presence in the first place, was to fuck with us.

>>25639133
Well, that's pretty plausible. But that in itself would make things pretty difficult for us given how crazy she'd be.

And it doesn't mean that's the full extent of her madness. Oh no, it's psycho Ruri all the way down the iceberg.

This was the time to get mad, grab her by the shoulders and scream in her face asking what the shit she thinks she's pulling.

Not sure how this will work out though, because my phone is being extra stupid this morning.

>>25639116
>>25639131
They hid the fact that they are MAGICAL girls, the fact that there are young girls doing mercenary work is no secret for those that care.

>>25639149

For some reason, I don't want her to know she managed to make chiaki mad.

>>25639147
That's an assumption right now. No matter how likely it is, we have no proof at present.

>>25639133
Well this is going to be fun.

If she starts aiming it at anything like she wants to shoot something, timestop, walk over, remove ammo, replace empty cartridge, walk back to our seat, take the exact position we started in, and unfreeze time.

>>25639155
Agreed, we need to not let her know she has gotten to us

>>25639153
You just said it yourself though: "For those who care". That isn't everyone in the world.

>>25639157
>That's an assumption right now.
>Ruri wanting to fuck with Chiaki

Really?

>>25639149
No man, we can't do anything like that to Ruri-sama! We're contracted to do anything she wants! If she asks us to bend over and drop our panties so she can shove the whole thing inside, we've gotta do it, because of the contract!

>>25639173
Do us a favor and put a trip on so we can ignore you more easily fuckhead

I think we're forgetting the name of the idol's first album, 'A Magical Girl's Only Wish'. There's a chance she's known about magical girls for quite some time, possibly before QB contacted her. She's either known for quite some time, is one herself or is damn close to someone who is one. It's a little too specific to be swept under the carpet.

To get this popular, she's going to have to have been around for a while, no? Or do we have a time scale on that and I've missed it somewhere?

Pin it up to shadowruns if you will, but it *is* suspicious as all fuck.

>>25639175
What other theories? The ones that don't actually explain anything?
>>25639181
Because she might need to use MG powers and OH WAIT THERE'S A FUCKING LIVE WEBCAST GOING OUT TO POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF VIEWERS.

Please stop.

We don't need this again.

>>25639181
In itself it does not. However, a malnourished teen girl dressed like a cosplayer who smokes and drinks way too much is a suspicious choice of body guard.

>>25639179
>Fifth element reference?
Yes, someone already caught it.

>>25639175
>Other theories have been posted in this thread, can you prove them all wrong?

The fact that Ruri wants to fuck with us isn't proving anything else wrong, in fact, it reinforces some theories.

>>25639194
>Because she might need to use MG powers and OH WAIT THERE'S A FUCKING LIVE WEBCAST GOING OUT TO POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF VIEWERS.
Our big power is stopping time.

Thats not exactly obvious if we're subtle about it.

>>25639193
>Or do we have a time scale on that and I've missed it somewhere?
I think she's been around for 2.5 to 3 years.
That incident in Santa Destroy was 2 years ago, from what Sayaka was saying, and she was already fairly popular then.

>>25639195
Oh no I know what the point was but it is shitting me to see me faggot who refuses to stop crying because his choice didn't get taken so he has to act like a retard and shit up the thread

>>25639202
Our shield is not what it once was. It takes a lot of very visible effort to use now, and it makes a lot of noise in complaint.

>>25639199
>Implying Chiaki smokes anymore
>Implying Chiaki drinks anything but water now

Let me say this again. The only thing that the Incubators care about is MAGIC. As long as she doesn't transform or pull out 5 migs out of hammerspace they don't give a shit.

In any case, Ruri is a terrible person. Whether she is suspicious or mundane, she is an absolute bitch. Sayaka can attest to that.

>>25639216
>Implying Chiaki didn't knock off half a pack just before coming in here because she was pissed.

>>25639216
>Implying Chiaki smokes anymore

She smoked four cigarettes out in the hall before we entered the suite!

>Implying Chiaki drinks anything but water now

Our house warming party? Champaigne? Remember?

>All those people acting like Ruri did good by trying to make Chiaki play the roll of the fan

You guys are a bunch of idiots, did you already remember that when Chiaki was on bodyguard duty for Iori she only needed to discuse herself as a maid ONCE.

>>25639232
>>25639220
>Champaigne
>not water with liquor for babies

Also those cigarettes were because she needed to calm down, they are allowed.

>>25639217
Actually she hasn't been a bitch outright, she hasn't done anything beyond being disturbingly prepared for us to arrive and us having bad timing to arrive when we did
If we hadn't been a bitch about the competition this wouldn't actually have turned out anything like this

Sayaka was speaking literally when she said don't meet your heroes is a good piece of advice

Decu just has played us like a goddamned piano from the start of this and we are dancing along beautifully

>>25639244
So Chiaki doesn't smoke any more except for the times she does which don't count?

Um...

The thing about "non-obvious bodyguard", um... it was to hide the fact that there was a bodyguard...

Sigh -- look, I know she'll have some obvious bodyguards and security too.

But what I was saying was that the "contest winner" or "Murder Mayumi cosplayer" would be let mean that she could have a bodyguard close to her that **people would not REALIZE is a bodyguard**.

As in, somebody tries to get to her, and then BAM! the cosplayer hits 'em when they're not expecting it.


I didn't mean anything about a "Do people know about Magical Girl bodyguards or not" sort of thing...
I just meant it in the much more straightforward, simple, and CONVENTIONAL meaning of "a convenient and plausible explanation for why a new girl is suddenly hanging around Ruri 24/7."

>>25639236
Right, but I believe Iori was isolated(ish) in a hotel room -- whereas Ruri has a webcam on her 24/7 for a while. So we'd have attention on us much like when we brought Chiaki to that gathering/party/meeting.

Yes.

>>25639216

Yeah about those. We need to test if our shield can hold people and if it can, get some pilots for the MiGs. Or an AI. Have Misaka develop an AI for jet fighters.

>Then 5 MiGs appeared out of thin air and strafed the shit out of every living thing in the area.

>>25639248

The rifle and the deagle business strike me as very suspicious. Of course, it could just be a rich Idol with far too many connections and far too much money paying the wrong types of people off for info.

>>25639248
Eh... She is going to punish Deepthroat by putting her in the Box.

That was not part of the agreement.

>But what I was saying was that the "contest winner" or "Murder Mayumi cosplayer" would be let mean that she could have a bodyguard close to her that **people would not REALIZE is a bodyguard**.
If she wanted a subtle bodyguard she would have 1. Mentioned it in the request and 2. Not asked for goddamn Murderface.

>>25639265

MIGs are inefficient.

We should see if we can stuff AI piloted UAVs inside.

Much more usable if say we're indoors.

>>25639266
I still say the butter was just kind of handgun-shaped, partly-melted, and Chiaki interpreted as a deagle. For the same reasons she suspected a champagne cork might be a gunshot. She's a somewhat unreliable narrator.

>>25639265
HomuHomu could use cars and ships using some sort of telekinesis in the anime. Dunno if Chiaki can do anything like that or if Decu allowes it.

>>25639274
>We should see if we can stuff AI piloted UAVs inside.
YES. WE MUST EXPLORE THE GUNSPACE.

>>25639273

The only agreement was for an escort.

Whether it was a undercover assignment or standard one was omitted.

>>25639268
Which we haven't actually heard anything about beyond it being something spaghetti is scared of

It is the one thing she has done that is actually legitimately questionable and WE caused it

We should actually explain that too

>>25639285
Can we hide ourselves inside the Gunspace?

>>25639279

I am in agreement. Let us take subjective matters with a grain of salt.

>>25639258
>>25639249
>All them non-smokers in this thread

It's a smoking thing, you won't understant if you don't smoke.

>>25639285
Chiaki needs a Bolt Pistol. Seriously.

>>25639281
Probably not, the Shield's screwed up hard. We can't even Time-Stop without Pinky dropping by.

>>25639279
>>25639295
Agreed. Hold the Shadowruns for when it counts.

[x] Because the pancakes are most likely drugged judging by how you let no one else or you yourself eat any of the food. Also, you are starting to seem a bit like a sociopath. Keep it up and we'll see how well you can do a concert with only one foot. Or worse.

>>25639292
Since the shield is attached to our arm I somehow doubt it.
I mean, we could ask Sayaka to cut our arm off so we can test it but I think that might be going a bit far.
>>25639296
Enjoy your lung cancer.

>>25639296
Oh I understand. You don't have the stones to quit properly so you tell yourself it doesn't count. Personaly I don't give a shit if another person smokes, but lieing to yourself doesn't change anything.

>>25639296

No my friend.

It is self-delusion and deception.

Like smoking when you're trying to quit. The only one you're lying to is yourself. I would know.

>>25639291
I sort of get the feeling that Spaghetti is not very hard to scare. The box could be something fairly innocuous that Ruri doesn't even think is a punishment that Spaghetti associates with her inferiority complex. She does something she thinks was dumb or wrong, panics, Ruri has her do something else unrelated that she isn't comfortable with, and she perceives it as a punishment.

Or it's just a big cardboard box and she puts Spaghetti in it and bangs on it while making ghost noises. Something like that.

Somehow, I think it's stopped being a coincidence. I'd say it lends credence to the "Ruri got replaced by a meguca" theory if she's in the know about how Kirika died.

Well, we'd successfully kept Iori safe, and Iori might've been complimenting Chiaki lots.

Or, you know, the one in Matilda.

The cupboard with glass bits, nails and all that sticking out from all the sides so you had to stand ram rod straight or get cut.

Childhood nightmares...

>>25639308
Both of these options are pretty hilarious so I kind of hope it's one of these.

Ruri wants to avoid leaks.

If nobody other than she and the Officio has the details, then the likelihood of a breach would be minimal.

>>25639308
>Or it's just a big cardboard box and she puts Spaghetti in it and bangs on it while making ghost noises. Something like that.

That would be hilarious.

>>25639330

Yet another reason we must never, ever let Ruri find out who Green Green is.

>>25639344
I don't even get why people care so much. Yes, Ruri is obviously either an incredibly annoying fan who wants to 'steal' us from Iori, or full enemy (probably both). No, we're not gonna bail on the mission completely until we've got something more solid. There, that's it. The camera discussion is literally the only legitimate one.

>>25639368
>>25639372

Well she got tiny Pete to work, so she already has some experience figuring out 40k tech.

>>25639334
She didn't tell the Officio. If she had it would have been in the briefing.
If she has a leak that is capable of intercepting a contract request to an Officio Assassinorum, then sending the contract in the first place will be enough to send up every red flag ever.
All she would achieve by failing to inform us is jeopardising the mission.

Now, if someone intercepted the contract and REMOVED that information, then I can understand. But that would raise a shitton of questions with QB and probably through the entire fucking system for a loop.
>>25639362
Iori survived. Mission successful.
She was even in one single, structurally sound piece! Bonus points!

You give the tantalizing tower of pancakes sitting right in front of you, before pushing the plate to the side a bit. Honestly, with all that's happened lately, you're not feeling all that hungry. Thirsty, maybe, but looking at the spread, there's no iced water to drink, only orange juice. And you don't do orange juice.

"Ice...water?" Ruri blinks as she looks up at you, her hands momentarily pausing in their fluid assembly of a weapon that could probably kill God if she could draw a bead on him with it. "Not whisky? Well, er...I suppose I could get Noriko to get you some--"

No. No, she doesn't need to go to the trouble. But speaking of Deepthroat, though--

"Deepthroat? Who's..." Ruri's brow furrows momentarily, before smoothening out as she smiles. "Ahaha~! Oh, I almost forgot about her codename. Yes, what about her?"

...Cute. Anyway. You wanted to make clear that it wasn't her fault that Ruri's little stunt with the contest didn't work out the way she planned it to. The snag was your idea - and she doesn't need to go into any box or whatever. Jesus, give the kid a break. And maybe some deodorant. And a long shower.

"Oh, is that so?" The idol's smile is a rather cheeky one as she continues to work on the intimidating rifle, the metal parts clacking and snapping, a staccato cacophony as they are fitted together by perfectly-manicured fingers. "Well, I kind of knew you wouldn't go along with it. Chiaki Matsuda - or rather, Murderface-san - doesn't bow down to fate all too easily. You'd have viewed it as an insult, probably, a spoiled brat of a boss that likes to throw her weight around simply because she's got enough money and clout to." Her smile turns into a mischievous grin. "Am I right, or am I right?"

[1/2]

>>25639391
She was riding on the roof.
Also, she was driving up the arch, not on the road.

>>25639395

Fuck. She's got your number, there. Fine, you admit it. But why this? Is she trying to seduce you, piss you off, or both? Last you heard, you're being hired as security detail. What's with all...this? And what's with the rifle?

It's here that she looks...well, offended. "Really? Chiaki-chan, I'm the top-selling idol in Japan - and in the world. I've been on the cover of Rolling Stones five times. All my records have gone multiple platinum. You don't --" Ruri stops here, her cute pouty frown turning into another smile. "...you have no idea whatsoever why I hired you, do you?"

No. No, you don't.
"Hee. Well, I suppose I'm not that famous yet, seeing as the legendary Murderface hasn't even heard of me." It's then that she clears her throat, and starts singing.

. . .

You're not at all into idol music. You think the bulk of it is designed to be as shrill and annoyingly-squeaky as possible, in order to reach some sort of hidden frequency that resonates with the part of the human brain that likes horrible music sung by scantily-clad, barely-legal girls. You're not a fan, is what you're trying to get at, here.

But Ruri, after singing only a few bars of a song you've never heard of, had...well, taken you. From an uppity idol bitch that desperately needed a punch in the gut and another in the kidneys, she'd transformed into a young woman who absolutely had no idea what she was getting into, and yet just wanted for the boy she liked to like her back. A girl that had no idea she'd be fighting horrible monsters until the day she died - and only wanted to feel the warmth of a hug before she did.

Her impromptu recital ends after a slow, mournful note, and she opens her eyes, a blush blossoming on her cheeks.

[2/3]

I really think we should put the fear of god into her. Or more importantly, the fear of us. we're the warmaster goddamn it, we don't have to take this anymore. Worst case scenario we actually can just shoot the camera, then take our two friends with us and leave. and make fart noises with our mouth the entire time as we walk out.

"I sing about Magical Girls, Chiaki-chan. Yes, yes, I know the world's not supposed to know about you yet." The idol smiles. "Don't worry, I'm not trying to expose you or anything - I doubt I'd be taken seriously, anyway, what with the current market inundated with magical girl anime and spinoffs. I'd probably be accused of viral marketing another project."

...Well, alright, but that doesn't explain--

Ruri looks at you pointedly, before shaking her head. "Seriously? No, you're kidding, right? ...Oh, fine. Besides how awesome the PR of having a dead-to-rights Murder Mayumi cosplayer in my webcast, Chiaki-chan, I also wanted to know more about the most notorious Magical Girl in the world, more notorious than Valnikov Kharn ever was."

You blink at her in silence, and she takes that a sign to continue. "The contest? I wanted to see how you'd react. I wanted to get under your skin, see what made you tick. I want to write a song about you, about the Magical Girl who isn't afraid to wade into blood and get her stockings and costume caked with gore. I want to write a song about the Magical Girl who fights like she's got nothing to lose, yet walks as if she's got the entire world on her shoulders."

...

What about the gun, then?

"What, this?" She looks down at the rifle on her lap. It's almost fully assembled, save for the magazine. You narrow your eyes at it, and Ruri catches your gaze. She giggles, and shows you that it's empty. "calm down. I never bring ammunition to a concert. And this is a family heirloom - I take it with me and clean it to calm myself down. It's also my good luck charm, see?" She fingers the ribbon tied around the scope.

Huh. Well.

How do you react?

>>25639437

Er, Iori might have auditioned for the MMxMM job herself. Hence, Iori and Ruri end up as the voice-actresses for the two lead girls, and so they decide to do this PR thing.

>>25639445

The webcast wasn't mentioned because she wanted to test us, like she said.

>>25639415

Shadowruns almost inverted on their heads.

She knows way too much about magical girls to be healthy for someone outside the...industry.

And there's still a massive chance that she's either out for revenge because we fucked over her plans to rape Iori, or she's a participant in Faust's Highlander: Midas Edition.

There is nothing stopping her from just fixing the pedal to the ground with any object, you know? That scene was full of implied timestops you simply couldnt see.
Homura had no powers other than timestop and hiding shit in her shield.

when did she find out about magical girls?

Those with power and money know of magical girls

Where else do those contracts come from

Er, guys... The Iori thing is because Iori ALSO has a voice-acting part for MMxMM.

And the "good time" clause is because... um, well,,, she wanted to meet us and hoped to have fun. She did just say this.. Why are we asking again?

As for wanting to know about her knowledge in all things mahou shoujo: she mentioned the rifle being a family heirloom. Maybe her relative contracted and introduced her to the world? That rifle would then belong to her.

She might have even started singing to honour the sacrifice of this aforementioned relative, hence the title of her first album.

>>25639481
It would still be nice to find out the specifics. I mean do the Incubators walk up to them and hand over a business card or what?

>>25639481
Okay so.

Here's the big question.

-What contracts has she been taking out to learn so much-

>>25639415
Adding
[x] Where did you find out about magical girls?

It's true that people with money and power know about them, but it can't hurt to confirm.

>>25639464
This, with a healthy dose of
[X] "So, who are you, anyway?"

>>25639484
Just to be sure.

>>25639488
Kyuubey did that with Yuma, methinks.

>From an uppity idol bitch that desperately needed a punch in the gut and another in the kidneys, she'd transformed into a young woman who absolutely had no idea what she was getting into, and yet just wanted for the boy she liked to like her back. A girl that had no idea she'd be fighting horrible monsters until the day she died - and only wanted to feel the warmth of a hug before she did.

Sound familiar, I suppose this story has repeated itself several times over. Because we dethroned Godoka

Anyway

>[x]Ask about her new 'project'.

"What did you mean by getting the idols to sing with once voice?"

>>25639484
I think with the Iori thing, is why this hotel and suite specifically, why bring Iori here.
As for the "good time" clause, I want to know if she expected more than just a fun date.

I suspect word of mouth.

Fellows let their allies know of such a service.

Or those who have suffered such an attack begin investigations into such organisations.

Then again, its possible for Magical Girl Solicitation. Appear on doorsteps of powerful folks and non-lethally disabling all the hired security can make a powerful demonstration.

>>25639489

Very good question. We'll need to ask her that. Since apparently, shes been doing it for her entire career. Her first song was even about magical girls already.

>>25639415

[x] Sigh Heavily
[x] "'The most notorious Magical Girl in the world'? Are you serious or are you just an idiot? I´m pretty sure there are better qualified Magical Girls for that.

I´m not famous and quite frankly I don`t even want to be famous so yo ubetter forget about writinga song about me right from the get-go, its bad enough that there is a Manga about me already.

If you have any usable brainmatter left between those twintails of yours after screeching for years you better forget everything about Magical Girls and just stick to the rich idol-schtick.".

>>25639526
But we are famous. That's why Midori was already our raving fangirl when we first met her.

Chiaki might be famous to Japan due to Green Green, but they are bigger fish in other countries as evidenced by the write ups that expand the setting.

>>25639481
Her FIRST ALBUM was about Magical Girls.
How the hell did she know about them BEFORE she was rich and famous?

>>25639526
You're wrong on all of that.
Murderface IS one of the most notorious Magical Girls in the industry, especially with the departure of Kharn.
And her entire career is built on Magical Girls; she doesn't want to become one, and she already knows enough about them to make her into the world's most popular idol, she only wants to learn about Chiaki Matsuda because of the reputation.

>>25639490
[x] this

She knows a fucking lot about magical girls. I'm pretty sure Iori didn't know about Kharn, so this is more than just her talking with Iori. Something happened two years ago that we should know about.

Lets turn this into a give and take. We will entertain her questions, if she answers a few of our own.

>>25639553
>How the hell did she know about them BEFORE she was rich and famous?

Good point.

>>25639552
Pretty sure Wendy mentioned there being an english translation for a start.

>>25639552
I assumed this was more because other writers like to make mary sues and Decu's too nice to stop them.

>>25639553

Her friend was contracted?

>>25639552
There's an English translation of the manga, and it's gone global.

>>25639553
How did Homura find out about magic girls before she became one? She may have simply seen one in action, or been saved by one.

>>25639573
Unless Decu has Murderface kill them one day to remind the writers he is boss

>>25639578
To be specific, Mami and Madoka.

>>25639533
I fail to see why we would be THAT famous. I get it that we were well-known in our officio because we killed an awful lot of people in a short span as Girl A.

But I fail to see how we should have an awful lot a fame beyond that.
Especially because the general population doesn`t even know about Magical Girls.

Kharn and Kirika, since they had a high killcount, Mami because of her unusual kindness for a Meguca, even some of the other Warmasters since they are batshit insane. But Chiaki? Not really. I don`t believe that killing 18 Eversors is such a big deal if Kharn probably killed and fucked way more than that. probably even at the same time.

>>25639588

So, friends then.

>>25639573
I don't think you know what "mary sue" means

>>25639415
[X] All the above, and why did you neglect to mention the 24 hour broadcast? Explanation now before the camera gets a couple of new holes.

>>25639573
>I assumed this was more because other writers like to make mary sues and Decu's too nice to stop them.
>Saying that when Homura exists

Oi.

>>25639592
>But I fail to see how we should have an awful lot a fame beyond that.
We survived for a shitload of time as Kharn's 'assistant'. Without getting laid.

>>25639594
My Madoka canon is shoddy at best, considering I've only read the manga for the series proper, but yeah. Moemura sees Mami and Madoka in action and eventually gets hauled into it.

>>25639603
Sadly. Chiaki'll never remember her stint as Girl A.

>>25639577

If Midori's Chinese porno cartoons are actually being sold worldwide, why is she take up meguca-ing? She could probably be a full-time author if she wanted. Did her stuff become popular before or after she contracted?

That reminds me, we should find out Midori's actual wish at some point. I know it's supposed to be personal, but she'd tell us if we asked.

>>25639573
>People decide to write something about different characters
>They're automatically Mary Sues

Yeah, nah. Well, aside from the one whose name is actually Mary Sue.

>>25639592
We've killed many more than 18 Eversors, and for a time Murderface was a part of Kharn's entourage, meaning she came along when Kharn visited other Officios.
Also, QB said that no one, no other Magical Girl, had the perfect Time Stop ability that Murderface had, making her very unique and valued. So that would be another reason why our fame would spread beyond just the Japanese Officio's.

And also, being in the industry the lines of communication are very short and well-networked.

>>25639592
Dude we had massive amounts of fame amongst the meguca because we not only slaughtered all those girls but Kharn showed us off like a shiny new toy
And word spread very fast about our actions either from Kharn or from those she told

>>25639618
My guess is after she became Meguca. There's not much one would know Murderface/ Girl A unless they're in the business.

>>25639618
Her stuff only became popular well after she contracted, and only became profitable in like the last month or so when she got the animation deal. Until then, it was a hobby that wasn't making her money.

>>25639629
Speaking of magic girls who use the character designs of touhou girls, what if another meguca turned up who had the same power as us? What if we fought?

>>25639632
Reminds me, have we ever gotten around to finding ways to have our Shield fixed? I remember vaguely that it involved fixing whatever fuck-up Insane!Homura did in the first place.

>>25639618

She would only really know about Murderface if she was a magical girl. So she probably started writing after she was contracted.

>>25639657
We need all the golden weapons iirc

>>25639618
>>25639642

I think it was also mentioned that her parent(s) had incurred massive debts from various sources.

>>25639661

Decu mentioned that Midori started writing before she contracted. While Magical Girl Mercs are unknown to the public at large, I'm betting that Magical Girl anime/merchandise existed long before the Incubators arrived.

>>25639654

Whoever draws first wins.

But as I understand it we are the only one in this setting with such a high level of time control.

>>25639657
>Reminds me, have we ever gotten around to finding ways to have our Shield fixed?

Collecting the 20something golden weapons and putting them in our shield will fix it. It was confirmed by both Godoka/Faust AND prophet mode Misaka.

>>25639657
We were told that in order to fix it, we must collect all of the Golden Weapons.
QB said he couldn't fix it, and recommended that we minimize using it to avoid further damage.

>>25639661
According to Decu, she started it slightly before Contracting, and that the tone shifted after she Contracted.
He mentioned this in the previous thread in the Q&A.

>>25639682
It's a fetch-quest!
That's the worst kind of quest.

>>25639654
It would be a battle of who could abuse time the first

>>25639654
Kirika actually had time-manipulation powers, too. Enough that she could counteract our damaged Time Stop.

>>25639654
The Perfect and Elegant Maid would wreck our shit due to our shield being mostly fucked.
She wouldn't even need Magical Girl powers to do it, either.

>>25639695
>That's the worst kind of quest.
Bitch please. Escort missions are by far the worst.

>>25639679

I'm saying she only could have written about us after she knew specifically about us. I can't imagine too many people other than magical girls know about any one specific magical girl.

She was an author before she was a magical girl? Sure. She knew about us though? I doubt it. Unless decu specifically said something.

>>25639695
Nah, escort quests with badly programmed AI are the worst.

>>25639679
But... Didn't the incubators arrive thousands of years ago, or does that only apply in canon?

>>25639705
But...

But we're on an escort mission. During our fetch quest!

FUCK!
