Silence. Pure, stark, deafening silence rings in your ears, choking off all other sound as Pinky's smile vanishes like the last light of a late sunset.

"'Help' me?" The corrupted goddess in the cheerleader outfit whispers. "I don't believe I heard you correctly, Homura-chan. You want...you want to 'help' me? Did I get that right?"

Dragging yourself up against the back rest of your throne, you force a nod in reply. Pinky's eyes go wide here, the disgusting-glossy orbs of pure black rolling in their sockets, before focusing on you.

"That makes it all right, then, doesn't it?" She smiles, giggling once more as she pulls back away from you to pace back and forth, gesticulating with her blood-encrusted hands. "Homura-chan's going to help me, after all! Help implies a positive, beneficial action for all parties concerned, heading towards a favorable goal!" She stops momentarily to flash you a toothy grin, before pacing again.

"Why, I should reward Homura-chan for being so thoughtful and so kind, seeing as she's going out of her way to help me! It's not like things turned out really horribly, super terribly wrong when Homura-chan tried it the last time, right?"

She stops again, eyes wide as she smacks a fist to her palm, sudden revelation dawning on her features. "Oh, wait! Silly me - they totally did!"

You open your mouth to reply - to explain about what you plan to do, to tell her what you know - but before you could even draw in a single breath, Pinky is already in your face, eyes blazing with the sick unlight of souls being tortured for eternity. Roaring her hate out at you, her breath filling your nostrils of the chokingly-sweet scent of decaying carrion.

[1/2]

>>34340899

"YOU WANTING TO FUCKING HELP TURNED ME INTO THIS, HOMURA-CHAN!" The insane goddess snarls as she grabs you by the shoulders, her thumbs stabbing deep into your flesh, twisting, turning, digging right into your chest, subjecting you to yet another body-wracking, teeth-cracking world of fresh agony. "YOU WANTING TO HELP FUCKED EVERYTHING UP FOR EVERYONE! MAMI! KYOKO! SAYAKA-CHAN! AND NOW YOU WANT TO HELP ME AGAIN?!" She cackles here. "YOU REALLY DON'T WANT ANYONE BUT YOU TO BE HAPPY, DO YOU, HOMURA-CHAN!"

N-no, no, that's not true, that's--

You can't bite it back anymore. You scream as Pinky digs her fingers in deeper, her claws grinding against bone now.

"You couldn't leave things well enough alone, Homura-chan. You didn't listen to anyone, you didn't give a single FUCK about the consequences." Pinky growls this at you with all the menace of a leopard moments from tearing your throat out with one snap of its jaws. "And you called it 'helping' me. You called it 'rescuing' me. You didn't care. You just thought about yourself."

She pulls away from you again, her clawed fingers coming away with a fresh coat of blood. Your blood. "I want...I want you to think very carefully about what you just said, Homura-chan. I want you to think about what you're planning to do, whatever those things inside that gun of yours told you." Pinky turns her back on you, and you can see from her heaving shoulders that she's trying to calm herself down, each deep breath whistling through her mouthful of sharp teeth. "Because if I find out that you're screwing up things for everyone again..."

Pinky glances towards Midori, the Callidus frozen in the middle of her eating. Her mouth open to receive a spoonful of food hanging in midair.

"...Everyone you love dies slow. And you'll be watching, right up to the moment where I kill you for real."

[2/3]

>>34340915

And, once again, some inner switch inside her flips - and the eldritchian horror winks at you, all smiles again. "So, if you don't want that to happen, just do as I say and keep getting those Golden Weapons! The next one's like, really really close, you know! So close I can just taste it!" She poses here, throwing up double peace signs and letting her blood-pinked tongue loll out of her mouth. "Like this, get it? Ahahaha~!"

Your only viable response as of this moment is to wheeze a pink mist from your punctured lungs.

"Oops! Homura-chan can't talk if she can't breathe, can she?" Pinky hops forward onto your lap again, before slamming the heel of her hand into your sternum. Something shifts inside your chest, something worm-like and barbed - and with a burning stab of agony, the holes she'd poked into your chest fills out and disappears, as if they never were. "Now, does Homura-chan have any questions to ask or even confessions she'd like to make before I leave? I promise I won't get mad! Pinky Promiiiise!"

...

Decu liberally took the inititive to tell Pinky about the helping bit before the killing other evil self bit for maximum suffering when the latter would make much more sense but it doesn't matter. What does matter is we get this out, even if it costs a body, before lack of communication causes some sort of preventable disaster. Also Mami a shit.

Seems to me that the whole "help her" thing was pointless without telling her about TNO.

Telling her that its not (sort of) our fault was kinda the whole point in my view, since it gives us and Pinky a common enemy.

I suppose I can see where you're coming from. I don't think telling her about TNO is a bad idea, I'd just rather give her some time to get comfortable with the idea of us being "on her side" before dropping that particular bit of information.

Well, I don't think either one is a particularly bad choice, it's just a personal preference on how and when to proceed.

Which is fine, I guess. It just gives me more ammo to tease him over, heh

>>34341232
Pinky is torturing us because we keep 'helping' against her will and because we never listen to her and do what she tells us to do. We are being tortured because we are selfish and need to control everyone for 'their own good'. We are not being tortured for anything the TTO did.

>>34341406
Pretty much. Theres another goddess level entity out there. She is the one who fucked Pinky bad. Pinky thinks WE are the one who fucked her.

And since we did not TELL HER ABOUT THE OTHER GODDESS, Pinky will almost certainly blame us for anything else Homucifer will do aswell.

Ohwell, lets look at the bright side, atleast now we have an alarm system of sorts. When Wendy and Midori both suddenly die horribly, we know Homucifer has done something. We don't know what, but we know she has done something that upset Pinky. Who naturally thought it was us.

Yeah, I think that what we really ought to have done is just straight-up apologize and ASK if she wanted our help, but I missed both potentially relevant votes, dammit all.

>>34341438
>>"YOU WANTING TO FUCKING HELP TURNED ME INTO THIS, HOMURA-CHAN!'

This is a fairly clear reference to Rebellion. Pinky's angry that Homucifer's interference made her literally fall from grace.

So, like the other anon said, it's nothing that Chiaki did, but what "a Homura did".

However, you're right in one aspect: Chiaki's nature is controlling, same as Homucifer. By always burdening herself with all the responsibility and trying to help, Chiaki is pretty much falling into the same pattern that Homucifer did.

I'm kind of amused how anon manages to maintain her in character to her nature despite everything else.

Now, if you subscribe to the theory that Chiaki is actually an amnesiac Homucifer, then things start to get downright creepy...

>>34341500
>I'm kind of amused how anon manages to maintain her in character to her nature despite everything else.
It's more of the fact that Homura falls into the standard player controlled character role. Players don't want to trust NPC to do anything because it risks it either going wrong or the death of an NPC they like.

>>34341521
We're going to make at least one fucking exception to that rule for Sallaka.

RIGHT?

>>34341475
Personally I wanted to just tell her about Homucifer. I did not even mention the "help" part in my vote in the previous thread.

What really annoys me is that we said the help part, but did NOT mention Homucifer, meaning we suffered for no reason. This was all so completely pointless.

Telling Pinky about Homucifer would have been beneficial. It would have warned Pinky about a potential threat, and helped her see us as more of an ally while also letting her know that it was Homucifer who messed her up.

Telling Pinky that we want to "help her", but not telling her HOW we plan to help her (by killing the Transcendent One, who is really to blame) obviously pissed her off, since she has no idea what our "help" is going to include, because we did not tell her that part, despite being the MOST IMPORTANT part.

Ahwell. Whats done is done.

>>34341545
We did promise to trust her, yes.

>>34341545
Hahahahahahahaha you have more faith in the /tg/ hivemind than I do.

>>34341545
Probably because it's been stated that the only way she'll survive. It's just standard fare that players will avoid giving complete control to the DM/QM as much as possible.

>>34341555
Thus guaranteeing that we won't. You should know how this works, anon. This is the Yumamind. As if we'll keep our promises.

Homura was always kind of an anon to begin with, considering that she started out as a shy girl who latched onto the first person to give her positive attention.

>>34340944

You shake your head down at her, deciding to just...keep quiet for now. To save your breath. It hurts enough to even breathe, anyway, and you doubt you'd be able to survive her next tantrum if you set her off.

So no. You don't have anything else to say.

"Mmm? Really, really? Homura-chan doesn't have anything else for me?" Pinky grins as she squirms on your lap, before frowning. "Well, I guess I did go overboard there, huh...sorry, Homura-chan! You know how it is, being crazy and everything!" She knuckles her forehead just as she contorts her face into the stuck-out tongue-and-eyewink combo. "Tehe!"

...

"Alright, that's enough hanky-panky for today!" Pinky hops off of your lap, landing on both feet before twirling to face you, her twintails swaying with her movement. "I'll leave you to enjoy the rest of your party, Homura-chan, just don't forget what we talked about, alright?"

Y-yeah. Yeah, you won't.

"Okay! I'll be checking up on you again real soon, to make sure you don't miss me too much!" She poses here, arms held out on either side of her - before bringing her hands together and making a heart sign with her fingers. "PINKY FLASH!"

The combined screams of a thousand blind men drowning all at once bubbles in your ears, loud and long enough that when time finally resumes again - your Shield clicking back into its original position - you can still hear the echoes ringing in your mind.

Around you, your ratification party resumes as normal - with Kyoko feeding a blushing Sayaka, and Midori giggling at the scene, even taking a picture of it with her smartphone. Everything normal. Nobody dead. That's...good.

You shake your head, leaning back on your throne as you drag in a shuddering breath. Christ. That...that was too close. Way too close--

...Shit, the blood! You have to hide the blood, it's--

[1/2]

>>34341592
True enough I guess.

Though it would have been easier to accept it if Pinky had tortured us because she was insane.

Now she tortured us because Chiaki kept back the one vital piece of information that might actually have prevented the torture. Thats annoying!

Looking down at yourself, you blink as you see no trace of the wounds that Pinky had inflicted upon you earlier. Not even a drop of the blood you've been hacking up.

The pain is...well, it's there, real enough. Lancing through you with every breath you take. But not as strong as earlier. Not as painful. Less...real.

"Sempai?" Midori speaks up beside you, and you turn to see the Callidus holding a spoonful of food towards your mouth, a bright smile on her face. "Come on, sempai, say 'Aah'! You haven't even touched your food! I--" Her smile falls as she looks directly at you, her eyes widening in concern. "...Sempai? You're as pale as a sheet! What's wrong? Are you alright?"

How do you react?

We had a dream a while back where Homucifers familiars killed her. I think the time when we could keep her safe by keeping her ignorant has already passed.

If we tell her whats going on, atleast she knows that when Clara Dolls appear, its time to either run or start shooting.

Midori is already super involved since Siberia. We just have to make sure the both of us are on the same page so neither of us can get blind-sided.

We've been putting off this conversation for way too long and I'd be happy if we could get it done with now that we're officially ratified.

A conversation in private, after the ceremony, sounds like a good way to finally talk about Siberia and bring Midori up to speed on things too.

>>34341698
Well, there's been a lot of discussion about Midori being nothing more than a moeblob waifu, so I figured getting her involved and doing shit that isn't just Chiaki would make things more interesting.

>>34341698
How have you still not realized that trying to do everything alone and hiding the people we care about will get them all killed. It's been heavily implied and outright stated a few time throughout the whole quest.

"Honor and integrity only matter between friends. With enemies, anything goes."

Cirroco Jones, John Varley's "Demon"

We might want to apologize for the three stooges for getting all of us tortured.

Though something tells me the physical torture was probably minor to them, compared to finally seeing Pinky through Chiakis eyes and the psychological horror of seeing what Madoka has become.

I recall they cried when they learned about Pinky. Now that they have actually seen her...

Refusing to talk to Midori about what is going on because we think it is 'better' or 'safer' for her to remain ignorant is just another example of us trying to selfishly control people "for their own good'.

>>34341834
ironic, because that's exactly the role we're playing for Madoka, but Malal has chosen to keep us blind, deaf and dumb.

>>34341839
Is Pinky our enemy? She does need to die, but is she really our enemy?

>>34341881
This.

>>34341883
Malal found out right at the end that that was a really fucking dumb idea, to be fair. She can make poor assumptions too.

>>34341882
its also our vanity talking, because we don't want people to think we're insane.

I mean, we totally are. But we don't want people knowing that.

>>34341883
Malal has also been kind of dead for a while, so there's only so much we can do about that.

Chiaki seems to me like the best person to help Pinky since she has none of the emotional attachment that Homura has.

>>34341883
And it turned out shit for her. We should be smart enough to trust the people that matter.

>>34341882
It's also stupid because she's one of the most informed characters we know about at the moment. There is no way to not get her involved at this point because she already is.

>>34341893
Well, technically it was implied by Murderface(of the stooges) that killing Homucifer might restore Pinky.

So Pinky is not really our enemy, and she does not really need to die either. Or atleast thats the current plan. Whether or not its going to work is anyones guess.

>>34341927
>Whether or not its going to work is anyones guess.
Hell, that could be what triggers the apocalypse.

But, for better or worse, it's the course of action that we're going to take.

>>34341927
That is to say, restore Madokami. Killing Homucifer might turn Pinky back to Madokami.

Since the part of Pinky that is Madoka was the one who convinced Pinky to create the GWs, this does seem plausible.

>>34341637
>Come on, sempai, say 'Aah'! You haven't even touched your food! I--" Her smile falls as she looks directly at you, her eyes widening in concern. "...Sempai? You're as pale as a sheet! What's wrong? Are you alright?"

This just once again proves that Midori may be one of our sharpest tools in the shed aside from Yuma.
Simply because she knows or at least has an idea what's going on.

We really should use her for Diplomacy and Quick Thinking because she has shown time and time again that she is good with it.

>>34341924
So don't trust Mami then, Gotcha.

>>34341963
Well of course she's already betrayed and lied to us multiple time snow. Even if she's not malicious she's nowhere close to trustworthy.

>>34341957
Food for thought : Madokami seems able to manipulate Pinky's actions to some extent, at least from what we've heard/been told. But is it possible that it works both ways?

To be fair, Chiaki is always super pale.

I have no idea how much paler she could possibly get to make Midori take notice.

(I'm almost done! Almost done!)

>>34341963

I think that was a one time thing. I don't think she has the strength to do it anymore.

>>34341980

Unfonrtunately part of her power is to make people subconsciously trust her.....

.....holy shit. Mami's not a Vindicare - she's a CALLIDUS.

>>34341997

As a standard action, Chiaki may attempt to go completely pale, causing her skin to become transparent. All people within 15 feet must save vs. fear or be freaked out for 3 rounds.

>>34341997

Strictly speaking, Mami's magic isn't gun-based anyway.

It's Ribbons.

She just has a personal preference for the guns. She could just as easily be making swords or shit with them if she felt like it.

>>34342112
There is.

The class you're given is largely just based on the powers you get and the weapon you're given, which is determined largely by your personality and your wish. The class you get affects which training you get.

The training turns you into the class, it's not really inherent in the contract.

The classes don't appear to be really strict about who is what, at least not in the ninth. It's all about turning you into the best meguca you can be, and where you feel most comfortable.

Mami (and to a lesser extent Murderface) exemply the Vindicares, and Sayaka, Kyoko and Kirika evemplify the Eversors.

>>34342107
A minis based MGNQ wargame would be neat. All the MGs are high quality figures, but witches are construction paper, and barriers are your little sisters dollhouse/makeup playset/tea party set.

This could be a wonderfully terrible idea.

>>34342242
Mami might have received Callidus training on how to fake beind a Vindicare.

Or she might just have learned on her own.

I'd be surprised if someone who has been around as long as Mami and who is as effective and organised as her doesn't have some training in most classes.

>>34342330
Mami was training to be Warmaster, It's pretty safe to say that she has had multiple class training.

It was indeed something of a "mistake" to offer to help Pinky, but it was a mistake Homura would have made. She has relied on herself and her own iron determination to save Madoka across countless turns of the shield, becoming ever more driven and self-reliant along the way. And at every turn she fails, with her monomaniacal focus inevitably screwing things up sooner or later. Having Pinky lay into her for that might be a long term benefit, though, since it is also an invitation to examine that mistake and learn from it.

I think thematically we are doomed if Chiaki does not learn from Homura's failure. The hero being brought low by a tragic flaw despite their incredible efforts has been a staple of drama since drama was invented. And Chiaki's (and /tg/'s) need to control and direct everyone to finally reach the happy ending is a major character flaw.

So we should consider doing something completely different. Chiaki can't protect everyone on her own. She can't save everyone. In fact she can't save anyone, even herself. Only by working together and by trusting others to save themselves is it possible that a happy ending might emerge. And yet bringing in Chiaki's loved ones and friends puts them into severe danger too; she has to trust their judgement and their capabilities and accept that she can't assure a positive outcome.

And to trust is to open the way for betrayal. But doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity, isn't it?

Confiding in Midori is so self-evidently a good idea I don't think it needs much discussion. She's in extreme danger anyway but we can hardly scare her away now. And maybe Miracle Midori can pull another miracle out of her hat, just perhaps?

Sayaka and Kyouko have earned Chiaki's trust on a personal level. Mami and even Kyubey have been instrumental to her rise, and Wendy was beloved of her once. There's always a risk of betrayal, especially in Noir, but playing safe isn't going to win this thing.

You'll tell her later, you murmur quietly, forcing your pained grimace into something approaching a reassuring smile. Wincing again as you feel your facial muscles awkwardly trying to shift themselves into new and completely unfamiliar territory.

This doesn't seem to convince Midori at all - if anything, her expression of concern deepens, even teetering on the edge of panic. To her credit, however, she immediately catches on to you wanting to be discreet about it - the Callidus leaning forward to push the spoon nearer your lips as she lowers her own voice into a whisper. "Is...is it her again, sempai? Did she visit you?"

You open your mouth to accept the spoonful of food, closing it as you nod. Either your encounter with Pinky drained you to the point that you can't even taste flavors - this particular mouthful tasting much like mushy cardboard - or the caterers managed to fuck up something as simple as buffet fare.

...Wait. How did she know? Your Time Stop--

"You blurred just a bit, earlier, sempai." Midori whispers back. "Just...for a moment. I doubt anyone who wasn't looking at you closely would've seen it. I thought I was just imagining it myself, until you came back looking really...sick." She immediately offers you another spoonful of food, and a glass of cold soda to wash it all down. "Get something inside you, sempai, even if it doesn't taste all that good. You'll feel better with something in your stomach, and if worst comes to worst, you'll have something to throw up instead of dry-retching all night."

...Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

"Do you want me to call a Venenum over?" She asks after you force down the fifth mouthful. "I can just--"

No, you shake your head. No Venenum. Not right now. You don't want to be the first Warmaster to need medical attention during her ratification. That's...that's just embarrassing all around.

"..." Midori frowns here, before pushing another spoonful of food towards you. "I don't mean to offend, sempai, but you can really be stupid sometimes, sempai, you know that?"

So you've heard, you tell her, managing a genuine smile after you swallow your tenth mouthful of food - the grub settling nicely in your stomach and making you feel a bit less like dying. That's you in a nutshell. Really stupid sometimes. Or most of the time.

Midori frowns again, but her expression softens as she reaches forward to place her hand on top of yours to give it a squeeze. "We'll talk later after all this, alright, sempai? You promise, right?"

Yeah. You promise.

A flashbulb setting off beside your table makes both you and Midori turn towards its source - and you see both Kyoko and Sayaka lowering their smartphones, smug smiles on their faces.

"So bold, Murderface, to be this romantic during your own ratification," Sayaka sneers. "Planning to go official NOW, huh? Should've known you were planning to announce it at the same time that everyone's here. Much more dramatic that way, right?"

...What. It's your turn to frown, as Midori hunkers down, blushing an absolute crimson. You weren't planning to announce anything! You're just eating together, that's all! For fuck's sake--

"Yeah, yeah." Sayaka scoffs, and it's here that the lights in the assembly hall start to turn down, making the seated diners making up your Officio buzz with conversation. "...Oh, looks like it's time for the idol show to start! I wonder who they got?"

...Please don't be Ruri, you find yourself praying as you accept another spoonful of food, a spotlight from above cracking into life and focusing on an empty spot on the hall floor, where a microphone stand had been set up.

The idol that steps into the spotlight is...familiar, but it's not Ruri. Nor is it Iori.

From her long silver hair teased up into an elegant coiffure and her tall, slender frame wrapped in an elegant black silk dress with the shoulder-length gloves to match - it's none other than Shijou Takane, the idol who you encountered during the Kilgore op and also the idol who politely asked you to leave Iori alone. The spotlight making the crystal necklace around her ivory neck gleam and glitter almost hypnotically.

"Good evening, everyone. My name is Shijou Takane, of 765 Productions. I will be your idol for tonight." Her smile is as soft and as mysterious as it was back then, when you first met her. "Please allow me to sing my set, and after that I'll be open for requests. Just no Death Metal songs, please, I fear I've strained my throat after accepting too many of them the last time I was here." Laughter ensues as she gives the audience a wink.

"And now, to celebrate the ratification of Warmaster Chiaki Matsuda..." Takane turns with a slow, elegant grace towards you, reaching out with a gloved hand. "May I sing a song that a colleague of mine requested especially to sing for you?"

You blink as the spotlight slides over to you - and all too quickly, you nod while shielding your eyes. Fuck, that was aimed right at your fucking face!

"Thank you." Takane smiles again, and she begins to sing into the microphone just as the music starts to play. You frown as you recognize the melody even before the idol sings the first verse.

...A Magical Girl's First Wish, huh?

Fucking idols. Seriously.

Still, after just what you've been through, it's...sort of nice to hear, you guess. A sign that you're back in the real world, and not trapped in your Time Stop with a homicidal eldritchian horror.

>>34342869

The song ends at the last verse, and the audience readily applauds Takane's performance. Midori enthusiastically claps as well, while you manage a miserable smacking of the heels of your hand. ...Fuck you still feel weak as shit. Pinky really did a number on you.

Just as the second song starts, though, it's here that you notice something on the table in front of you.

It's...it's a fat little bird. Some kind of a raven. Completely black, its eyes a pure, bright red. It would've looked evil as fuck, if not for the fact that it's fat enough to be almost spherical.

And it's looking at you with...well, intelligence. There's no other word for it. Not the blank, hunger-driven look that all animals tend to get, but with something approaching an almost human sentience.

The fuck? Where'd it come from?

What do you do?

It's probably this kind of bird. Please excuse the tumblring, just the first thing I could find.

>>34342890
>[x]Try talking to it.
asking an animal where it popped up from is not crazy, is it?

>>34342994
The bird belongs to "Vintage". The warmaster of the 9th prior to Kharn. There was a picture in the last thread.

There was lots of speculation that Vintage is the Homura of this dimension, but I am pretty sure she is not Homucifer atleast.

>>34343044

Vintage is Enishi's eldest sister. Sayaka implied the relation in the last thread and the full name "Vintage Karasawa" has been occasionally given before

>>34343044
Don't think Chiaki knows that though.

>>34343072
When are we going to get some squishy Squishi Enishi, Hat?

>>34342774
I am. That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm voting for the options I think will lead to a story that I will enjoy reading, rather than a story that the characters will enjoy being in.

Or you know, this thing.

>>34343095
Aye, and this is better. That said, part of that interesting will be Homura actually learning what she did wrong and why. But, yeah, I'm fairly certain there'll be a lot of tragedy along the way, and I vote accordingly - with the understanding that lolfuckshitup is not a valid strategy for reaching it, and instead I've gotta work with the character we've already built up (whatever elements and decisions of her I disagree with).

>>34343087
Do we actually have any art of Enishi, come to think of it?

>>34342890
>[X]Try to pick it up, see what it wants.
Eh, why not.

>>34342890
>[]Try to pick it up, see what it wants.
It's obviously related to Vintage, shooing it away could be offensive.
Talking to the bird could make us seem crazy.
Thus, process of elimination.

>>Bittersweet endings are god tier.

I generally agree, but given the background here, that Chiaki is a Homura, I'd like for her and Midori to finally have a happy ending... I think it would be "god tier" in this case, at least for me.

>>34342895

I think this is the best, yes. I don't want Chiaki to break character, but I do think she has it in her to actually achieve a happy ending. She might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she's not dumb either. She learns from her mistakes (and then makes new ones), and I think with some subtle character development she could go all the way and achieve what none of the other Homus could.

>>34343095

A story that I enjoy reading and one that Chiaki and Midori have a happy ending are exactly the same for me, so it's what I'll try to vote for, generally.

>>34343087

This is a concept sketch of Enishi >>34343175
that I was sketching out! She'll probably get a redesign, but after I'm done with Odette, I think!

By the time Chiaki's got Midori, Wendy and Enishi hanging off of her she's going to be Singing Queen songs all day long.

>>34343184
If you're into femdom, I guess.
Not sure if that's what Decu aimed for but she looks much like 40k Inquisitor to me. The kind that's most intimidanting when they're smiling. And she is smiling.

>>34343184
She's alright, but Enishi is the sexiest

>>34343271
>A story that I enjoy reading and one that Chiaki and Midori have a happy ending are exactly the same for me, so it's what I'll try to vote for, generally.

And I am 100% alright with that. I'm not the only one here, so I don't have any right to decide that other people's votes are somehow worth less than my own.
