Hnh. Alright. You're not convinced she's telling everything, but that's fine. You'll get back to that later.

You then ask her about the passwords the app keeps asking you for. You're still missing a few, here. If she's as buddy-buddy with Malal as she says she is, then she could probably give you the remaining two passwords to unlock the rest, right?

NECO blinks at this. "Well, er...I guess I could, nya...I know some, but obviously not everything. You know how Malal's like." It's here that she holds out a hand. "Here, lemme see your smartphone for a minute, I'll enter it for you, nya."

What do you do?

[]Hand over your smartphone.
[]...No. Just tell me and I'll enter it myself.

There's a bunch of people saying to show her the Chirpee feed, and I was one of them. But now I think it's better if we don't. We let her find out on her own. After taking certain measures.

After hearing her sob story, we should convene with Sayaka and discuss The Plan. Which is to give the filthy assistant's takeover as much ground as it can possibly get. We're warmaster, we can have the entire fucking building subscribe to the feed and clamoring for MOAR IDOL GOSSIP and other such vapid nonsense. Keep this up all day. Have her go out and spread the word since us leaving would raise all kinds of alarms.

In the meantime, we go back and give NECO everything she wants except access to her Chirpee feed (say we're sanitizing her phone or something and that we don't give ours out for reasons). Give her the interview with Chiaki. Give her the interview with Midori. Hell, introduce her to Kumatora, the MG we trained. Keep her busy while giving the filthy assistant a swelled head.

But eventually we'll have to say goodbye. Maybe give her a job offer. NECO will likely decline unless the hat does its magic. And so we part... and NECO discovers her Chirpee feed hijacked. No biggie, just shoo out the rabble and everything goes back to normal right?

Wroooooooooong! The office rallies for MOAR IDOL GOSSIP and wonders who this skank reporter is, flooding her with demands to do more idol stuff and put filthy assistant back in charge. She could, you know, make another Chirpee, but by then the damage to her ego and reputation should be done. And we'll have her crawling back to us, begging for a means to put her journalistic integrity to use other than... IDOL GOSSIP!

...Yeah, now that I type it all out, it actually sounds kind of dumb. Let's just go with the hat and save the revenge for later.

Reminder from last night

We just need to wait her out.

[X] Ahahaha no

>>29146467
>[X]...No. Just tell me and I'll enter it myself.

No one touches our phone but us.

>>29146480
[x]No, just tell me.

Handing her phone is a BAD, BAD idea because a) she could send a text to a contact and cause all kinds of trouble or generally contact someone (such as Sayaka) and cause all kinds of trouble, b) we don't know if pinky knows of our progress on the phone,
c)she might try and break it, which admittedly is a minor convenience but still, and d)After last time's proceeding we need to get some kind of grip on the situation.

>>29146480

[x]...No. Just tell me and I'll enter it myself.

[X] no, just tell me and I'll enter it myself.

[X] Actually, never mind. I'll do it the hard way. I've got the weirdest feeling.

[recall that we're not actually convinced that Malal wrote the diary.]

>>29146500
While I would love to shit all over NECO's chirpee, I can see The Plan blowing up in Chiaki's face in more ways than one.

>>29146480
[x]...No. Just tell me and I'll enter it myself.
Not even a NECO thing, no way are we letting others handle that phone unless required to.

The other thing to note is that if she lists off all the passwords she knows, we get to see what info Malal thought to trust her with. It's a good way to gauge what she may or may not know.

By the way, a couple of conclusions that were reached from last night's threads:
-As a journalist, she's been through some shit in terms of physical torture and threats in general. Violence at this stage may not prove useful, at least until she's been worn down some.
-Magical tactics may work - although it will make her an enemy, suggestions such as cutting her off from stimuli for some time or threatening to wipe her memories of Mala were thrown around. Chances our she's seen all the regular torture techiques we know of.
-Sayaka is just outside the room, so doing anything which may cause any major sounds won't work in our favour in case she tries to justice our ass - she knows and is very invested in Izumi/NECO.
-The plan, IIRC, was "listen to her story in her entirety, then dismiss it and try to found out whatever we really want before deciding what to do about her".

>>29146480
Haha, no. Nice try.

>>29146480
[ x ]...No. Just tell me and I'll enter it myself.

To be fair, we're unlikely to wake up in a homicidal rage towards Midori. But yes, we probably should.

>>29146801
I reckon she's hiding shit. She said if we 'need' to forget again. Not 'if we do' or whatever. That doesn't gel with her explanation.

>>29146832
Yes, but we're not likely to get anything out of her by pressing it.

"For real?" NECO frowns, before shrugging. "It wasn't, like, I was gonna use up your minutes or break it or something, nya. But that's okay, I can just tell you." It's here that she toys with her handcuffs, tugging at it absently. "Hnn. Let me try and remember...you're missing two more, right? If that's the case, then you're probably still at the first set..."

The first set? There's OTHER sets, besides the one you're currently trying to unlock?

"I'm...I guess? Look, I keep telling you, Malal didn't tell me everything, nya!" The blonde girl snaps at you, before holding her free hand up to her forehead, her brow furrowing. "Urrr...first set, first set...AH!" Her eyes go wide, before pointing towards you. "GREEN! You haven't tried that one yet, right? Right?"

You narrow your eyes at NECO, before pulling out your smartphone from your inventory. ...No, you haven't tried that yet. How did she know that?

"You keep getting hung up on the details, nya." NECO shakes her head here, looking all smug again. "Just try it out and see!"

Well, even if you wanted to try it out, you can't. The journal app locks itself after every entry unlock, didn't she know that? And you just unlocked two of them last night, so it's probably going to be a few days before...uh...

You blink at your smartphone screen.

And there, right in the middle of the display, is the journal app. Unlocked and asking for a password.

You look up at NECO, the girl only looking more and more self-satisfied by the second.

How did she know that--

"Magic! Or, more honestly, I don't really know, nya!" NECO grins, seemingly content enough to take credit for it. "Go ahead and enter it anyway, see what we get!"

Right. Whatever.

You glare down at your phone and tap out the five-letter password carefully.

[I was as surprised as anyone when I saw the people you'd started to gather around you, but probably not more surprised than I was when I saw Hanegawa Midori. She doesn't deserve this, and you know she doesn't. Nobody does. But where she's concerned, maybe the alternative really is worse. Just remember - the most dangerous Callidus is the one you invite into your bed. Or to live in your apartment.]

[An old magical girl once told me: Do not fear your enemies, for only a friend can betray you. Then she punched me in the stomach. Remember that.]

[Oh, and don't eat the banana ramen. It'll make you crazy sick. Like wow.]

Which of course, doesn't rule out the possibility of us needing to forget again.

But the real questions are, who needs us to forget.

The worst thing is we probably can't even find out what triggers it because every time we do, we'll probably amnesia again.

Profoundly unacceptable situation.

>>29147025

That would be only proper.

Bitch everything in this universe is would around Chiaki, knowing her and what she'll go through is knowing everything you need to know about this world if you want to make hings habben.

"Y'know, I've just realised. There hasn't been a single entry from this phone that's not 'THIS IS A PERSON. BE WARY OF HER'"

"Is this phone just a madlibs shadowrun generator?!"

>>29147242

I know right? Plus half of the time it's either vague or telling us not to trust somebody. Don't trust Mami, don't trust Midori, don't trust Kharn, don't trust Wendy. IZUMI is probably gonna turn up, "don't trust the cat."

If it tells us to not trust Kyoko I say we break the fucking thing. But if we did that a screen will probably pop up a moment before we do it saying, "Don't break the phone."

>>29147345
I second this notion, if there is one person in all of MGNQ that i trust not to want to murder us horribly, its Kyobro.

>>29147336
>Surprising that she reduced her stand in's breast size, maybe Midori is over conscious of that?

Considering that during the Recap/Q&A she said she was pretty self-conscious about her height, that's probably not the only part of her body image that she's uncomfortable with.

>>29147342

Yes, and you're the one who decides if she gets to walk out of her with her kneecaps intact, you return easily, leaning back on your folding chair. So what's the second password?

"Urrr...fine, if you're going to be that way." NECO pouts here, rather cutely at that - reminding you of a certain brown-haired arms dealer that you should probably visit sometime soon, or at least give a call. "Second one's sort of a nasty word, but you always use it, so that's kind of moot, I suppose, nya..."

A nasty word? Well, which one is it, then? Because you know plenty.

"Well, I don't like to use it myself," NECO shakes her head here, and you catch her glancing at your hat again. "But you use it a lot to refer to Sayaka-chan, I guess? Something about her attitude?"

...Huh. That's...that's oddly specific. And rather mean of Malal, actually. You had an idea that she had a coarse attitude, what with the whole juvenile delinquent thing, but...

You shake your head, and tap out Sayaka's nickname on the dialog.

Supressing a grin as you do so.

Sakura Kyouko can't handle everything alone.]

It's here, then, that a dialog appears - one notifying you that 10 out of 10 entries had been unlocked, and SET I had been completed. Another dialog opens after a few seconds - this time telling you that SET II was now available for unlocking.

...Fucking hell.

"Alright, now you gotta let me see, nya. I know that unlocked something, you were grinning!" NECO points at you accusingly, her brow furrowing. "Come on, at least read out a paragraph or two!"

How do you react?

>>29147499
[x] "You can surely infer it from the password." Try Izumi if we can try more.

>>29147499
[x] "It's all things you most likely already know. It's not that interesting. Whats in the second set?"

>>29147499
alright, we can tell her about this entry. Not like she doesn't already have dirt on her already.

>>29147499
[x]Tell her the MALAL entry

Hey, it's not like she DOESN'T know about Malal. This way we give her something she asked for without giving away anything.

>>29147499
[x] I'll give you the short version. It's about Sayaka and it is the first time this stupid this has told me I can trust somebody.

>>29147499
Did you write half this stiff, cat? Reminds me of your profiles on mgsarereal

>>29147499

This change seems suspicious.

>>29147527
>This

>>29147499
[x] read that one out to her. Its nothing she doesn't already know.

>>29147499

[X] It says I can trust Sayaka.

No need to give her more details than that.

>>29147499
[X] I've learned the legend of Legendary Bitch Blueberry-chan.

>>29147527
Actually it told us we can trust Kharn for a given value of trust

>>29147499
[x] It said the same thing about Sayaka that you did earlier, in the same words. That's an interesting coincidence.

Referring to her being a hero that we could trust to watch our back.

>>29147499
Eh, throw her a bone.

[x] Read out the first paragraph.

It doesn't have anything sensitive.

>>29147499

[X] "Nothing you don't know NECO. Now anything else or is it time to decide what to do with you?

Nothing else that wouldn't hurt your chances of walking out of here?"

>>29146801
paranoia?
Or foresight

>>29147499

[X] Read this out loud for her

"Miki Sayaka is a hero. That's all there is to it. She may be an idiot, but she'll always do what she believes is right, no matter what the cost is."

that's something she already knows anyway.
>problem, cat?

[X]Yeah, no.

>>29147499
>[x] Apparently Blueberry tastes like blueberries.

>>29147560
This

>>29147499
[X] It said that there is still a true hero amongst man

>>29147499
Lets see. Sayaka is a bitch and one that is known as such whole around the world. And banana ramen is the best thing you could ever hope to taste. That should be enough for you."

what is it about Sayaka that attracts so many red-heads?

>>29147585

... Well played.

>>29147559
Paranoia.

Blueberry doesnt do foresight.

>>29147585
This!

>>29147592
Athletic figure, confidence, impulsiveness and fiery temper?

[x] Read out the last two entries to her, and preface it with this
>>29147585

But omit the part about the banana ramen of course for GREEN's entry.

>>29147585
I love it.

>>29147603

I agree. That's how you work with reporters in noir or detective flicks. Trade information with information. And then you find them face down in a ditch for knowing too much.

It was introduced because of "Take Kyubey into time-stop" actually.

I really don't get how MGs can get scarred by conventional weapons.

>>29147849

Not getting treatment in time? I dunno. Sayaka probably allowed herself to scar as "lesson learned".

It seems like the sort of thing she would do.

>>29147849
Maybe if they go for long enough without regenerating them, like if they were really busy or low on magic for a while, they end up leaving scars.

>>29147849
Witches. Other Magical Girls.

Who says they're fighting vs conventional weapons?

>>29147849
They're scarred by horror and depression, when their very souls are harmed by the things they have to do to protect the ones they love. It's those scars that stay with them, sometimes they're more evident than other. But each one has their share of scars, make no mistake.

>>29147862
We're talking about literal scars, not metaphorical ones.

>>29147862
who says emotional scars aren't attractive, and the scars sallaka has could be remnants of the fights that left her with said emotional scars, physical ones too though

You glance at NECO before tapping your phone against the heel of your hand. ...Well, for a pain in the ass that you'd been itching to pump a few bullets into, she has been cooperating, so why not. Throwing her a bone wouldn't be remiss right now.

You make a show of looking at your screen and paraphrasing the journal entries she'd just helped unlocked. Something about Sayaka being a massive bitch, one that is known as such around the whole world - as well as the bit about banana ramen being the tastiest thing NECO could ever hope to taste. That should be enough for her, right?

"Eh? She said that, really?" NECO's brow furrows in puzzlement. "Well, I guess the first one's more like her, but the second...I thought she hated that crap? Then again, she really likes weird stuff, so..." The blonde young woman shakes her head. "Yeah, okay, sure. Why not? She's always been like that, nya."

Hnh. Well. You weren't expecting her to fall for that, but she seems satisfied, at least.

"Well, I don't think you've got any reason to lie to me, Chiaki-nyan. Can I call you Chiaki-nyan?" NECO smiles - not a smug one, but one that at least smacks SOME sincerity. "I mean, of course there's the possibility that you are, but it's not the first time I was lied to. Not the first time this happened, either." She shakes her handcuffed wrist, making the chains jingle. "But I've been able to manage so far, nya."

Well, she has, you'll give her that. Until Kyoko and Kumatora caught up with her. Until she made the mistake of spying on your date with Midorin.

"You're still sore about that?" NECO makes a face, here. "Alright, alright, I can tell, nya. And I know I was kinda, like, really mean earlier? But my point stands, you know. A lot of people are looking at you and wondering when the next time you'll freak out during a joint op and wipe them out. They're looking at you and the Ninth, Chiaki-nyan. Looking really, really hard and close."

>>29148148

"No one wants another repeat of what happened to the Third, much less have it happen to THEM. You can bet they already know about Midori-nyan - I just showed them just how much you're gonna hurt them if they so much as look at her the wrong way."

...

"So hey, I got a really cool idea." Her face brightens up as she leans forward again, both hands on her knees. "I know you don't trust me, and I'm pretty sure you're itching to shoot my kneecaps off, and all. Or maybe in the face or something."

She shakes her head. "But maybe, just maybe, Chiaki-nyan, we can all set that aside and help each other. After all, I've been totally helpful, right? I even told you my tragic backstory, so we're cool now, riiiight? "

Ask her what her endgame is with her Magical Girl tabloid journalism. Because it can't be to gain mainstream credibility. She has to know that she'd be killed the moment it seemed like anyone on the outside might take her seriously, right? So what's her real game?

>>29148181
You want to help me? Fine. If you're this good at sneaking about, you'd probably make a fantastic callidus. Contract with the 9th, in the meguca sort of way. You can even have your own soap opera/reality show, Meguca Cribz or whatever.

>[x]...Tell me more. But if this is another one of your tricks, cat...

We don't contract normal people. Not for ANY reason.

>>29148181

Well, this went a bit better than I expected. She's not dead, both her knees are still intact, more journal entries were unlocked, and now we have a potential source of information. Progress!

>>29148258
What part of NECO is normal? And if she contracts, we'll at least have some control over what she spies on, and who she spies on. She can keep doing her journalism shit, and it is shit NECO. But we can at least direct the direction of the feces away from us and onto prospective targets.

>>29148268
Yes, probably.

Its a bit late in the day to start ignoring Malal now, and even if we do start ignoring our strongest ally, it doesnt chanhe the nature of Pinky as our antagonist.

So, yeah. We'll listen to Izumi. Trust, maybe not. But we can work with her if need be.

>>29148395
Now you're thinking with noir.

>>29148204
This is the kind of attitude we should have. We're far from being buddy-buddy with the fucking cat, but if she's got an idea that has merit, we should be willing to entertain it.

And then pistol whip her if it's a shitty idea.

>>29147032
>Then she punched me in the stomach.
>tummy punching

Might be useless shadowruns, but that's awful reminiscent of Hitomi - who also had green hair.

>>29148481
And betrayed Sallaka.

So, something that I've been wondering: How many inter-Officio wars were started because the respective Incubators disagreed with each other, and how many were started by their Warmasters?

Because this is the important part: the war between the 3rd and the 9th was started by Murderface and Kharn, not because of an argument between the Incubators. How many times has that happened, and is that the reason why Warmaster Murderface is generating so much interest?
Because a Warmaster that can initiate a war by going crazy during a joint op (since the details of why Murderface killed all those Magical Girls didn't really get out), without the prior authorization of her Incubator, is like a rabid dog, even moreso than even the other crazy Warmasters. As crazy as they were, they didn't initiate a war that resulted in an entire Officio being wiped out (regardless of the exact details).

In that context, believing that NECO got past our defenses while the other Officios haven't gotten their own Callidus agents in, is ludicrous.

>>29148481
It must be someone else.

Midorin cannot possibly betray us without it being worth it.

>>29148296
Contacting people is a personal no-no. It'd have to be someone in a pretty dire life or death situation, like Mami's, to think about contacting them.

We can't do a thing about Officio recruiting.

Besides, one of Necos best advantages is she's not tired to any Officio. Its good to know people without ties to the QBs.

>>29148505
I made mention of this before.

The Cat gets into places she shouldn't with more alarming regularity than magical girls can. Despite the cat claiming that magical girls can do so better.

>>29148569
Two explanations: maybe she just gets noticed much more often, and the magical girls don't, so you never know when you are bing watched.

And the second: maybe it's because meguca ping on the magic radar, while a normal person knowing how to work it can easily fly under that.

>>29148536
Do you mean contracting?

>>29148569
Just because she isn't a magical girl herself doesn't mean she isn't benefiting from magical assistance.

If for example Malal predicted the time and location of our date with Midori and told Izumi to be there, she wouldn't need to follow us there undetected.

>>29148585
I'm not sure it matters HOW she does it.

Though. Shadowruns again. NECO and Ruri both have assistants. Possibly the SAME assistant?

>>29148569
>The Cat gets into places she shouldn't with more alarming regularity than magical girls can
No, she gets CAUGHT getting into places she shouldn't, mostly because she Chirps about them.
We don't know if Magical Girls are getting through or not, because hey, their survival depends on not getting caught and they don't tell everyone that they got through.

That's like saying that some UFO enthusiast that gets within camera range of Groom Lake and tweets about it is some kind of superspy while completely ignoring the spies and informants embedded inside the FBI.

>>29148604
Yes. Fucking autocorrect.

>>29148625
I don't think Tomoko is competent enough to rub her tummy and pat herself on the head at the same time, much less work for two employers.

>>29148784
No, I'm quite sure that was just two Homuras.

>>29148832
Nanoha is confirmed with the first and has wiped out about 50 meguca in one go on a defensive mission at one point, using one of her huge laser blasts. They didn't get a sngle shot in in return. It's in Rin's writefaggery about the 16th.

>>29148192 >>29148205 >>29148213 >>29148228

"No, no tricks, Chiaki-nyan." NECO's grin goes wider. "Here's how it goes. I want to work with you, so if you grant me interviews from time to time, an'nya couple of favors here and theeere - I'll be a little more judicious with what goes out about the Ninth, nya."

You shake your head, here. Deal's off. Who the hell does she think she's dealing with? If you wanted news censorship about the Ninth, then you can do it right here, right now - either by leaving her to rot here or just shooting her, period. You're not about to become her fucking errand girl just for that--

"I know, I know! Jeez, let me finish, Chiaki-nyan!" The blonde young woman snaps. "AS I was saying, I'll be looking the other way, alright? But not all the time, I'm not gonna lie for you, so maybe don't start punching out babies, nya. But the thing is, I'll also tell you who's listening in, who's paying attention, and who's going around askin' questions." It's here that NECO leans back, arms crossed confidently underneath her chest.

"I may not be one of your sparklies, Chiaki-nyan, but I've got enough connections of my own that I may as well be, nya!"

Hnh. Well. You ignore the little boast. Supposing you say yes. What kind of favors is she talking about, here? Because if she wants someone killed, then she has to take it up with Kyuubey--

"No, no! Nothing like that!" Izumi shakes her head furiously. "Just...stuff! Favors! Information, I guess! Promise, it's not gonna be like, Kyuubey's credit card number or something. It's just stuff that you'd probably be offering already if I didn't ask them for you first. Nothing incriminating, just things and information that only Chiaki-nyan will only be able to get. That's all."

That's pretty vague, but...well, she is saying that it wouldn't be anything too out of the way, or too important to the Officio.

[1/2]

>>29148861
stop being so talented aaaaa

>>29148872

Maybe all that NECO is trying to do is to find the scoop of a lifetime, and is offering to insulate you and the Ninth from whatever it is you'll help her with. Maybe.

Still...you're not so sure. She's super invested in this whole Magical Girl journalism stuff for some reason, despite even you being able to tell that it's never going to pay off.

Add to that, you're not even sure she's telling the truth, here.

NECO holds out her hand to you, offering to shake it. The biggest cat-like expression on her face, now.

"Well? Do we have a deal, Chiaki-nyan?"

How do you react?

[x] Sure, if your first job is helping my intel girls find the Prophet trying to brutally murder all the people I care about.

If she holds out for better terms, again, offer to introduce her to the assistant's wonderful world of Idol Porn.

We're the ones that should be gunning for better terms here, not her. Don't be so quick to agree just because what she suggests sounds reasonable, we technically have the upper hand as long as she's cuffed up down here.

>>29148900
[x]combine these
>>29148933
>>29148937

>>29148900
[x] Accept with these conditions.
>>29148988
>>29148930

>>29148933
This. No reason bot to accept. If she crosses us again we can just off her, and I really want her to suffer at least a little bit.

>>29148952

Second.

>>29148900
[ x ]Refuse.
i know it is going to be accepted but really i just want to shoot the bitch.

>>29148988
[X] This!

>>29149013
If she crosses us, we're never going to get her again.

We could also always have Sayaka in on this part of the arrangement, we're past the delicate stuff. It's still her job to be our idiot check.
>>29148900
Adding to >>29148930
[x] Get Sayaka to vet this deal before accepting.

>>29148900
[x] Accept. Shake her hand.

>>29148900
[X] >>29148937 + >>29148933 + >>29148930

Are we really holding her or is that just to fuck with her head?

>>29148900
I'd vote for a combination of these:
>>29148949
To this if she succeeds.
>>29148933

But I'd also like to ask
[x]So whom am I taking you from?

>>29148987
Midoris our info specialist. I trust her to know whats safe to give Neco. Plus Koobs is already keeping an eye on her.

>>29148900
Refuse, hairflip, break her knee with a well placed kick and walk out time to bring Chiaki back.

>>29148933
Yes, but let's cut the time down a bit. Threaten to leave her here for weeks, but let her out tomorrow evening or so, that way Sayaka won't get pissed or anything and Neco should start to sweat.

I really have to wonder if anon seriously expects her to continue to be cooperative if we lock her up for weeks after we make a deal or what
