It wasn't that they were monsters, although you've had the dubious pleasure of knowing a few who deserved such a title. Do anything unspeakable long enough and it loses its edge. You become 'acclimatized', as your Incubator put it. It stops becoming taboo. It becomes as mundane and as tedious as...as paperwork. Read, sign, stamp. Find, murder, dispose.

Some girls arrive at the wall and slowly but surely find their way through it. They stop throwing up at the sight of blood. They no longer see corpses as the people they once were but simply useless biological matter that should be disposed of neatly. Ending lives becomes tedium. But they never see the work as something to be proud of, to brag about, to relish in. Some - like yourself - even attempt to bend the rules a bit, to resort to shortcuts, to make the act less...taxing on the conscience as it would usually be. Eversors train themselves to cut quick and cut clean, giving no time for the victim to feel pain. Callidus resort to simply knocking targets unconscious, either by striking pressure points or administering sleep-inducing substances with a brush of a needle. Vindicares go for incapacitating wounds instead of killshots, or use less lethal ammunition.

You...well, you tried your best to make your targets feel loved until the end. Made them feel loved, cared for, made them feel like they meant the world to someone. That as imperfect and broken as they were, they still had someone who considered them the most important person in their lives - right until you left them, happy, insensate, feeling no pain whatsoever - to your clients.

You...well, you tried your best to make your targets feel loved until the end. Made them feel loved, cared for, made them feel like they meant the world to someone. That as imperfect and broken as they were, they still had someone who considered them the most important person in their lives - right until you left them, happy, insensate, feeling no pain whatsoever - to your clients.

And then there were the other girls. The other girls who reached the wall, looked at it, and smashed through it with their bare hands. Never feeling the pang of guilt, never getting the nightmares filled with the faces of the freshly murdered. They not only relished the work, but anticipated it. Savored it. Counted every kill, every deception, every target. Taking not only gusto in their work but also a smug kind of pride.

You were never one of them. As...as horrible as you thought some of them were, you secretly admired them. You didn't want to be like them, no, but...you've always thought that someone like that, someone who could just fully accept their role sincerely and wholeheartedly - was cool. They frightened you, you'll admit that outright, but...they had that kind of appeal. A dangerous edge to them that demanded caution as much as admiration. Just like your sempai, before you realized how broken she was. How haunted she was.

That was the first time that you realized that what went around really came around.

The second time - well, it's happening right now, in the worst time it could ever come up.

You really, really wish your sempai was here with you right now.

You clear your throat, wracking your mind for a reply, forcing yourself to come up with something that wasn't quite the truth, and at the same time wasn't quite a lie. You've learned from long ago that those were the most effective kind of falsehood, the ones with a measure of truth in them. They were easier to say, easier to justify, easier to convince with and be convinced of. Even the most bald-faced, shameless liar knew that - that the lie spiced with truth much more easily goes down the throat of the person you were feeding it to.

"I'm...I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you, but..." You begin, allowing your own real nervousness at the encounter to come through, letting it give you that hesitant stutter that had never failed you ever since you started using it. Giving you the voice of someone who isn't quite sure of what to make of things right now, but is quite eager to help, especially in the face of tears. "...if you're talking about Matsuda-san's mission back then, when she saved a client from a, a gang of creeps--" You pause here to give her a smile. One just bordering on the edge of uncertainty, but sincere enough not to look forced. "--then I wouldn't really know anything about what really happened to the girl you're talking about. I was employed here a week or so after it. I'm sorry."

Iori's face falls. "B-but--"

You hold up a hand, still keeping the smile firmly fixed on your face. "But that's...well, that's the official response we're all supposed to give non-employees, Minase-san. We're not supposed to discuss mission details with outsiders, even if they were past clientele. But since you came all the way here to warn Matsuda-san about that Magical Girl, I...well..." You make a show of looking around furtively, before nodding at her. "I know for a fact that Matsuda-san wouldn't have allowed a loose thread like that hanging around. Not her."

The idol's pink eyes go wide at this. "Really...? Are you sure?"

>>41238954

You nod, firmly. "Matsuda-san may have a rough personality, and she's not the sort to bother herself with pleasantries very much, but she's nothing if not thorough. She doesn't leave anything to chance." It's here, then, that you allow yourself to be bold and take Iori's hands with your own - the idol making a noise of surprised hesitation the moment your skin touched hers. "I...Minase-san, I won't pretend I know what you've been through, and I know we've only just met, but I want you to know that you don't have to worry about that Magical Girl hurting anyone anymore. Not you, nor Matsuda-san, nor anyone else. Please believe me when I say that."

"I..." To say that your heartfelt plea had taken the idol by surprise was an understatement. But she didn't recoil, that was important. Nor did she sputter in petulant rage about how you seemed to talk like you knew her. It meant, as you realize now with a sick, heavy feeling in your heart, that this was a meeting that was a long time coming. That it was only now that Iori had worked up the courage to actually come HERE and try to talk to your sempai. That she'd held out as long as she could, allowing those dreams to fester in her mind, until they became too painful to ignore, to deny. She wanted them lanced, and the only way to do so was to warn Chiaki of her fate, or at least make sure that her assailant - you - were in no shape to carry out that dark deed.

And of course you're not. You'd never hurt your sempai. You'd never hurt Chiaki.

You'd kill yourself first before you could even think of such a thing.

[4/5]

>>41238970

"...I believe you." Iori finally says, and amazingly, she gives your hands a careful, hesitating squeeze. "T-thank you. I'm..." She shakes her head, giggling in relieved embarrassment. "I'm sorry if that suddenly came out of nowhere. It's...I've been trying to convince myself that something like that can't happen. That Chiaki-san certainly won't let someone like that...that girl live with what she did. Or how she'd let anyone hurt her - not with her absolutely destroying them first."

You ignore that stab of guilt and nod, smiling, returning her squeeze before gently letting go. "It just doesn't make sense, right?" Iori continues. "Matsuda-san can be a bit boorish and abrasive, but she doesn't do things halfway. Like you said, she wouldn't have let a loose thread hang like that. She'd have dealt with it the quickest and cleanest way." You see the light return to Iori's eyes at the same time that she smiles again. "Thank you. I suppose I just needed to hear it from someone else other than myself." Her cheeks redden slightly as she giggles again.

You shake your head. It's nothing, you tell her. You know exactly how she feels, at least with that. Sometimes, you need to hear it from someone else's mouth to truly believe something, even if you yourself know that it's silly not to believe it.

"I just...well, Chiaki-san and I didn't exactly part in good terms the last time we met, but..." Iori's cheeks redden again. "...I...she's important to me. I don't want anything to happen to her."

You force down another pang of emotion here. Not pity, not guilt, certainly not fear...

But something that makes you feel a hell of a lot worse.

It's fine, you tell yourself. It's normal. Just...make her feel better. It's the least you can do, after all. Especially after all you did.

[5/6]

>>41238989

"Ah!" Iori suddenly exclaims, nearly making you jump in surprise. "I just remembered, I introduced myself but didn't ask your name in return!" The idol shakes her head in self-admonishment, before bowing demurely in front of you. "I usually don't forget, this is so embarrassing...!"

A-ah. No, that's fine, really, you reassure her. Besides, things did get a bit emotional there for a moment...

"I...I suppose so, but that's no excuse." The idol straightens up, something like a dignified determination shining in her eyes. "Please tell me your name, so I can at least thank you properly."

Right. You were....you weren't exactly looking forward to this, but it had to happen eventually.

I'd like to draw attention to a question posted on Decu's ask

Q:How is possible that Iori has entered so deep in the Offico, to the point of being near the Callidus training room? Why no one is scorting her? Why a civilian is left alone? Why she walks alone in the building, with the possibility to access restricted areas? What is security doing, taking a nap?

A:Hahaha!

>>41239005
>[]Give your real name.
Better not risk the possibility
that later someone call us by our name

>>41239005
[X]Give your real name.
There's too high a risk of something going wrong if she talks with someone else and gets a different name from them.

>>41239141
Welcome to Decu's wild ride! It never ends, and once you are in, you will never left! Take all your paranoia with you and enjoy as much as you can!

>>41239005
>[]Give your real name.
We told Chiaki our fake name during the Iorio affair, so we shouldn't lie now...

>>41239141

It's quite possible that Iori has contracted, or has some sort of outside help that has gotten her inside without a hitch.

Either way, Midori just needs to roll with the punches.

>>41239005
>[x]Give your real name.

Does Iori even know our real name? I mean, she can easily find out later, but at the moment all we need to do is not break down crying/screaming make sure Ms Lorry doesn't over there either.

>>41239212
And why that is important? If she doesn't knows, that ok. And if she remembered it from the nearly-rape night, she should be screaming by now

She might have asked about who the enemy MG was during the mission, maybe. It's unlikely she'd recognise it off the bat, but hey, she might have looked into it.

But yeah just tell the truth. If she starts screaming it's not going to do much in the long run, other than make things just more awkward.

Thread 275:
>She looks back at you, wringing her dainty porcelain fingers. "If...if knowing someone who can make a direct appeal to the Blessed Lady, a priestess or seer, then maybe...maybe she can intervene on Good for Nothing's behalf..."

>What? The Blessed Lady? And a seer...?

>Manuke nods furiously. "Someone who can scry into the Akashic Realm, or walk in its tides without fear of corruption." She turns towards Wendy, and somehow you sense a brief, unspoken moment of understanding pass between the both of them. "The Blessed Lady is really angry with our Good For Nothing, but if priestess can plead and bargain with her, she can save our Good For Nothing..."

Ok, so far, we only knows two seers: Haruka and a theorically contracted Oriko. And both of them hate Chiaki, so we are pretty much fucked in that regard.
But what if we enf up in a situation were we don't have other choice than use a seer to help Chiaki? In that case, who do we ask for help and how?
I am asking this in case we face this situation in the future, and honestly, I want to read anons opinions in the matter

Well, it's come to this, then.

You take in a breath, let it out, and then speak your own name - your real name - out loud. Clearly and crisply, loud enough for the idol in front of you to hear.

"Midori," You tell her. "Hanegawa Midori. It's a pleasure to meet you, Minase-san."

For a moment, a cold feeling of dread overtakes you - of Iori suddenly shrieking about how you've finally revealed yourself to be her assailant, to be the true culprit of the crime that nearly ruined her life. You half-expect, in that terrible sickening second, that she'd laugh at how you fell for her ruse, hook line and sinker, incriminating yourself and justifying her revenge in the process. And then she'd thrust a hand into her bag, pulling out a pistol and then shooting you before you can react...

It doesn't happen, of course. Instead, the idol simply smiles at you. "Hanegawa...Midori-san? That's, well, that's a very apt name, if you don't mind me saying so--"

You shake off the remnants of that paranoid vision to return her smile, albeit wryly. "Yes, yes, I know. It's the hair. My parents weren't very creative." A moment, and you feel your cheeks heat up at the stare. "A-and it's natural! Honest! It's naturally green!"

"O-of course, I wasn't implying otherwise," Iori reassures you. "It's just that, well, another person I'm working with also has green hair, but I've always suspected that she dyes it, even though I've never seen her in a salon. I've always wanted a point of comparison, even if yours is a slightly darker shade." She giggles again. "Just to see if she's actually dyeing her hair or not."

Oh? You blink here, before nodding. That makes sense, you suppose. What's her verdict, then?

[1/2]

>>41239781

Because Hat likes drawing scarred Chiaki

>>41239894

Iori stares a few moments more, her smile turning into a pensive frown, before she shakes her head. "I...I honestly can't tell, Midori-san. Without her here for a side-by-side, I can only go by memory, but..." She shakes her head. "Yours look very similar to hers, at least from where I'm standing." She reaches out to gently brush her fingertips through a lock of your hair. "...Consistency's more or less the same, although I do have to point out that you're not taking care of yours as well as you should be, Midori-san."

...Urgh. Y-yeah, you didn't really get much of a chance to wash it thoroughly this morning. You bear the admonishment easily enough, however, and make a mental note to take a proper shower before meeting up with Wendy again.

"...That settles it, then. She isn't really dyeing her hair, that harridan. How does she do it...?" Iori grumbles, before looking back up at you. "Thank you for indulging me, Midori-san. For the second time today."

It's fine, you reassure her. You're, uh, guessing that she isn't getting along with that coworker?

"We get along well enough, but..." Iori begins, now looking around as well. "...It's...well, it's immature of me to say so, but have you ever had the kind of coworker who's perfect in every way and knows it? And they don't waste any time in letting you know?"

...Yeah. Yeah, you're familiar with the type.

"And how you're just fed up with how they are that you're looking her all over for faults? Faults that prove they're still human, that they have their own share of imperfections?"

You nod furiously. You SO do. Definitely.

"That's what my coworker's like." Iori gives a small shudder. "And I've yet to find anything wrong with her. Not a single blemish. Not even a pimple."

That's...wow.

[2/3]

>>41239915
Ruri paranoia is baaaaaaaaaaackk!!

>>41239915

"Exactly! And the worst thing is, she knows it!" The idol lets out a groan, before shaking her head. "Ugh. Let's...let's not let me ramble on about work, Midori-san. Not right now, at least." She offers you an apologetic grin. "You were taking me to meet someone, right? Before your direct superior comes and takes me to Chiaki?"

You nod. That was what you were doing.

"Then lead the way, we can talk while we're walking." Iori smiles, and you gladly do so, heaving a sigh of relief as you lead the idol to sick bay, where Kyoko should be holed up. The first few corridors you tackle in comfortable, if slightly awkward silence, with that uneasy bond between strangers that had been forced through the entire spectrum of emotions through happenstance.

It's at the third corridor that you remember something. Just...how did Iori get here in the first place? So near the Callidus training floor, even?

You ask this before you can stop yourself, and Iori blushes again. "I...well, a receptionist was going to lead me to a waiting room, but I snuck off the moment her back was turned." The idol giggles here again, this time sounding rather...forced. "...I just wanted to try and find Chiaki-san on my own, but I got lost soon after. I was wandering around for twenty minutes before I bumped into you."

...Aaaand now you feel that she isn't being honest with you.

Strange. She doesn't...well, when you touched her hands, you were trying to see if she was contracted, but you didn't feel the tell-tale tingling that all Magical Girls would exude upon the first few moments of physical contact.

But why is she lying now?

How do you react?

>>41241151

It could be possible that Iori isn't an MG, but that ring she's fidgeting with might be enchanted or something. It's possible that it could be carrying some sorta magical payload.

You decide not to bring it up right now. Not when things are going so smoothly. You'll just tell someone who can do something about it - most likely Sayaka herself, whenever she finally decides to come down and rescue you.

It's here, as you continue leading her through the Officio's winding walls to where Sakura Kyoko is recovering from her injuries, that you also decide to strike up conversation once more. Asking her about how it is being a popular idol.

Iori stares at you in blank surprise for a moment, before breaking out into a surprised smile. "Ah...! So you did recognize me after all, Midori-san. And here I was lamenting the fact that I'd fallen off the charts for so long that people can't recognize me anymore!" She giggles, a sublime sound borne of someone who sings for a living.

You shake your head, a similar smile curling your lips despite yourself. No, of course not, you did recognize her! You just wanted to make sure, after all. You didn't want to mistake her for a lookalike, and vice-versa!

"If you say so, Midori-san." Iori giggles into the back of her hand. "Well, to answer your question, it's...always been surreal, to a point? But you get used to the fame easily enough. After the honeymoon phase, it's all about getting ferried to one place and then another to do all these recordings, appearances, handshake events...and making sure you always, ALWAYS look like the package you're advertising." She smooths down her dress in seeming emphasis of this. "No matter if you're sick, or sleep-deprived, or mentally preoccupied by something else, you have to look the part."

Nothing you haven't heard of before, of course. You've watched enough documentaries about Japan's fascination with idols to know how they're really like. Still, there's something to be said about hearing it in person, delivered by an actual idol without a camera in sight.

[1/2]

>>41241370

You offer your commiserations, and she nods at you. "It can be rough sometimes, yes, but I think any work, even if you're passionate about it, can be a bit tough to keep up with." The brown-haired idol grins. "Although, I suppose I can't really talk, as I'm sure even my worst day can't compare to a Magical Girl's."

You find yourself smiling again, and leave it at that. This is...alright. It's not ideal, but things have not yet gone absolutely to hell yet. You may even get through today with your sanity intact.

After a few minutes' more of walking - and more small talk about her current projects as a Magical Girl - you finally arrive in sick bay, specifically right in front of Kyoko's recovery room. You excuse yourself briefly to gently and quietly knock on the door - and sure enough, the red-haired Eversor's voice comes through loud and clear. As if she'd never been so grievously injured that she needed an entirely new body.

"Door's open! Come on in!"

"Is that...?" Iori blinks at the voice, before breaking out into another smile. "That's Kyoko-san! It's been a while since we last talked...!" Her smile falls soon after, however. "Wait, if Kyoko-san's here, then that means something happened to her...?"

You shake your head wordlessly and usher the idol inside as soon as you get the door open. You step in a moment later, and see the Eversor in her hospital gown, sitting cross-legged upon her bed, a portable gaming system in her hands and empty boxes of snacks around her. She looks up the moment you close the door behind you, her face lighting up like it's Christmas morning. The one unpatched eye glowing with clear, obvious joy at the prospect of company.

"Oh, wow, it's you guys!" She greets the both of you, thumb jabbing down on the device's pause button. It looks like she's been playing something with...squids? Something like that, anyway. "Hah, when Sayaka-chan told me I was gonna get visitors, I wasn't expecting Midorin and Iori-chan!"

[2/3]

>>41241390
>It looks like she's been playing something with...squids?

You gotta be squidding me

>>41241390

Y-yeah, well, you're here, you tell her as you smile awkwardly. You've always liked the Eversor, nearly as much as your sempai liked her, but her energy and warmth was often a bit too much to handle. Still, it wasn't as if she was trying to make you uncomfortable or anything - it was almost always the opposite, and you can't help but find charm in that.

"Kyoko-san, it's been an awfully long time!" Iori exclaims as she steps forward. "I'm happy to see you, but what happened? Why are you in here? Did you get into an accident, or...?"

The Eversor glances at you, before chuckling as she turns back to the idol. "Ahaha..! Well, not exactly an accident, if you get what I'm sayin'! But I'm fine now, really! Doctor's just keepin' me for a few days for physical therapy an' rehab, make sure I got everything back into working order, that kinda thing!"

"O-oh. I see." Iori seems to believe this easily enough, her smile coming back on. "Well, you do seem to be in high spirits, for someone stuck inside a hospital room. And eating unhealthily again, I see!" She picks up an empty box. "These snacks are all going to go straight to your thighs, Kyoko-san!"

"I-I'll just work it all off during training!" Kyoko protests. "'Sides, those are all just snacks, anyhow! I eat all the rabbit food the doc forces me to choke down, that should make up for it!"

"...It doesn't really work that way, Kyoko-san." Iori shakes her head mournfully, albeit with a playful grin this time. "But as I won't pretend to know how Magical Girls' metabolisms work. I'll just let you off with a warning then." A moment. "I will , however, have to tell Sayaka-san about this."

"What? Aw, man, that's cruel, Iori-chan!" The Eversor cries, falling back down onto the bed with a whumpf. "You're gonna get my knees wrecked for sure! Sayaka's gonna drag me to the gym and tell me to squat a metric ton for an hour, just to burn the calories away!"

[3/4]

>>41241390
>something with squids

>>41241414

Well. They seem to be getting along, with the complications from earlier glossed over the moment. You let them continue their catching up, with Kyoko regaling Iori of the things your sempai's been up to so far - at least, the stuff she can share. You've long figured out that Kyoko knew what she was doing, and regularly took advantage of the fact that a lot of people underestimated her. She wasn't stupid, she was just simple. Stark difference between each one.

It's only after a while that the conversation turns back to you. "Hey, Midorin." Kyoko's voice, bringing you back to the present. "How's the boss doing, anyway? I don't see her around."

The boss? Does she mean Kyuubey, or--

Oh. Sempai. She's using code words to ask questions about sempai without alerting Iori.

Hnh. Sayaka must not have told Kyoko, then. Urgh, she should have at least, but it probably slipped the Acting Warmaster's mind...

She's energetic, but not impulsive. At least in MGNQ so far. During the Kilgore mission she waited until we called for backup, she's waited for orders, and generally kept a cool head on her shoulders outside of combat. We can trust her, yeah, but we might be making her unnecessarily worried

Honestly, I kind of doubt that the 20th would use something as ridiculous as 2020 studios... or at least I'm hoping that Decu has better taste than that.

...

Still, being paranoid about the 20th is kinda pointless. From what I saw of them in the write-ups so far, the Spymaster is so skilled that we might as well ignore her and pretend she's always in the know somehow.

>>41241458 >>41241463 >>41241465 >>41241475

You watch Kyoko carefully as you give your reply, readying yourself to do something drastic just in case she takes your coded message in the worst way possible. You are, after all, telling her that her best friend - your sempai - is not doing all that well inside a Silent Room. Anyone would freak out over that, especially someone as...energetic, as emphatic as the red-haired Eversor.

The look of abject misery that overwhelms Kyoko's grin when she finally hears the news from you lasts all of a single heartbreaking moment. A moment gone in a blink, replaced with a less eager but just as natural-looking smile, but it was there nonetheless. And it's here that you realize that Kyoko knew, somehow.

She knew something was wrong when she didn't wake up with Sayaka beside her today, or with Chiaki visiting her. She'd just been trying to occupy herself, to convince herself that it was just her imagination, and all she needed to do was wait for your sempai to visit her. But instead she got you and Iori, as well as the damning confirmation that her best friend was indeed in trouble.

Look at you. Ruining days for everyone like it's no one's business. Maybe if you do enough, you can get a pink Magical Girl costume and pink twintails to go along with it.

"Your boss? The...the Venenum?" Iori glances between the both of you. "Oh no, do you have other friends who are also recovering? We should pay them a visit as well, then!"

"Eh?" Kyoko blinks her one good eye here, before hastily shaking her head. "A-ah, no, that ain't neccessary, Iori-chan! She'll be fine, our Venenum - that's what we call the medical staff here - are takin' good care of her. It won't do ta just visit her right out of the blue, there's procedures an' stuff and that takes a while. 'Specially if she's under observation."

[1/2]

>>41242413
>4. Ruri is not the spymaster.
That is exactly what the Spymaster wants you to think.

just as planned

>>41242640

"Really?" Iori's brow furrows here. "Well, if you're sure...I just thought it'd be nice to visit her, seeing as we're all here and everything..."

"She'll probably just be annoyed, along with the rest of the Venenum. Take it from me, Iori-chan." Kyoko reaches over and pats her hand, before turning towards you. Something strange and unreadable shining in her crimson eye.

And then--

+ Midorin? Hey, Midorin, can you hear me? +

It's...that's Kyoko. That's Kyoko pulsing to you.

You reply to the affirmative, doing your best not to show any outward sign that you're communicating with the one other person in the room through a crude form of telepathy. Telepathy that you're pretty sure would leave you with a migraine later, if the sudden tightening sensation between your eyes is anything to get concerned about.

+ Awesome. I wasn't sure if this was gonna work again, after what happened back in the op. + Kyoko grins at you, before saying something to Iori that you don't quite hear. + A-anyway, about Murderface...I kinda had a feeling something went wrong, but...+ She shakes her head. + She's gonna be alright, isn't she? Murderface is gonna be okay? +

How do you respond?

[]Yes. Sempai's going to be alright. I'm going to do everything I can to help her.
[]I don't know, Kyoko-san. But let's trust sempai. She's not going to go down so easily.

Our kyobro isn't exactly the best of telepaths, we shouldn't give details that could literally be picked out of the air.

>>41242659
>[X]Quickly pulse to her everything you know about Chiaki's situation, let her make her own conclusions there.

Kyouko's pretty trustworthy, and let's face it, we can use her help, either to get her to interfere with Sayaka, or with the op itself in some manner.

Actually, wouldn't Kyouko be able to get the access card to the GW vault for us from Sayaka, at least in theory, if we can get her on board to help us?

>>41242659
>[x]Quickly pulse to her everything you know about Chiaki's situation, let her make her own conclusions there.

Oh god you guys, if we tell Kyouko everything all at once, she'll get so distracted Iori will catch on.
Also yeah, Kyubey is probably watching us specificlly, to make sure we don't go telling everyone it's all going to shit.

>>41242659
>[]Quickly pulse to her everything you know about Chiaki's situation, let her make her own conclusions there.

I feel like this is a terrible idea for some reason.

But Kyoko.

Only way we could get her help is if she knew how dire things are. I just hope she doesn't flip out immediately.

>>41242827
In MGNQ, only a Cullexus, and girls that can spec as one, can use telepathy, so unless there's one close enough and skilled enough to listen in, things should be fine.

Plus, Kyouko's skill with pulsing isn't all that well known I think, even in the 9th.

>>41242867
And Kyubey.
If he hears we plan to go behind his back and steal the Golden Gun, he'll probably throw us in with Chiaki.
Actually that might be a good idea.

>>41242659
>[]I don't know, Kyoko-san. But let's trust sempai. She's not going to go down so easily.

>>41242867
In between the lorry's suspicious situation and our luck/Decu being Decu, we should basically be expecting coobie to be sitting right under Kyouko's bed.

>>41242895
... But that's the perfect idea. If he throws us in the same cell, we can just repeat the whole Siberia arc and be done with it.

>>41242867
Yeah. The pulsing ability of Kyouko is a secret that Malal herself told Kyouko not to reveal, not even to Sayaka. Only Yuma, Malal, Kyuubey and the Culexus were aware of this. Now Chiaki too, but that´s it. And of course, Midori right now

Decu was asked why only the Culexus can communicate by telepathy in MGNQ, considering that in the original series the girls can. He answered that he made it that way, because he wanted and for the story

>>41242925
Paranoia is all well and good, however, we have to keep in mind that QB is busy handling the fallout from this crap just as much as Sayaka is busy handling paperwork and Mami is being sent to the Moon.

The odds of him listening in, right the fuck now, are pretty damn low.

Also, in this case, the risk should be worth it. The fact is that for the best chance of success, we NEED Kyouko, because she's our in with Sayaka. We need that in with Sayaka, because I'm pretty sure that the GW Vault is more secure that Wendy realizes, and actually breaking in will turn out badly.

>>41242994
I´m with you. Kyouko is our best potential ally

>>41242983
If the Spymaster isn't real, then why is the concept of the Spymaster real?
And if conceptual idea of the Spymaster is real, then it must exist somewhere as a force acting upon the MGNQverse.

>>41242994
there is no telepathic communication inside the officio. for all we know QB doesn't need to deliberately listen in. to him, kyokos pulsing could be like someone shouting 5 steps away so hears it whether he wants to or not.

>>41243071
Nigga, DYERTQ? Kyouko's pulsing has been described by a Cullexus as "screaming it out". Kyouko is as unsecured as it gets.

whats with everyone assuming Iori is a Magical Girl, she just got engaged by whats his name the guy who had a crush on her and shot himself with a tranq gun

>she offed Mami long ago and replaced her
That would explain alot.

>>41243102
that was pretty much my point

>>41243071
Not very convinced. Kyuubey was able to pulse the entire culexus rank from a park during his flashback, so he is very adept in the matter. I think he is very capable of sneaking in Kyouko´s pulse

>>41243106
That's the obvious and most reasonable solution.
But we are in for the SHADOWRUNS, and the next possible option.
Sadly, Decu usually chooses only the third option. Something completely unexpected, something only a nippon could think of.

>>41243102
I do believe that she's been training some since then, so I don't think it's quite as bad now. Plus, you guys are forgetting one thing.

We didn't vote to ask Kyouko for help. We didn't vote to give her the details on Midori and Wendy's plans either.

We voted to tell her the details about Chiaki's situation so she can form her own opinion about it. This is likely something she'd learn eventually anyway, because she was part of the mission and it's better if everyone involved keeps their facts straight. So QB probably won't give a rats ass even IF he can somehow hear this...

So it's actually Chiaki?

>>41243102
Nothing Kyouko does is anything other than MAXIMUM, anon.

>>41243181
Shit, you are right. Yet, better to be safe than sorry with QB around

>>41243181
But we're still telling her that Chiaki is the reincarnation of Devil herself right now.

>>41243181
My interpretation was that this included the information we got from Manuke, which would be dicey.

oh god shes going to ask us about yuma

>>41243200
Is MAXIMUM STEALTH considered MAXIMUM?

>>41243221
That's really up to Decu... though based on Midori's character, she would likely only give out the details that Kyouko would be able to get anyway.

Oh and guys, don't forget that Kyouko is also one of Chiaki's aids, so the whole Homusatan thing is something that she'd need to know, much like Midori herself.

Plus, her behavior now, with Iori around, shows that she can be quite discreet when it's warranted.

Can we not start this crap until Chiaki's back at the helm, please?

>>41243377
Midori never stops being shit, so why stop now?

>>41243372
At least all this rampant timefuckery has had the positive side effect of improving Coobs' moral character, perhaps by creating some.

>>41243352
Because she's not really a moeblob, it's just an act she pulls so that people underestimate her.
She's really competent and, except for when anons controlling her go full retard, she is calculating and effective at analyzing people for their weaknesses.

>>41243339

Yeeaah... This happened to me the first time watching Rebellion. Where's Midori? O-oh... Right.

Stop, anon, before you hurt yourself. The decisions of the thread when in control of Midori are like her own.
Thus, she is a fucking retard. And Chiaki is also a fucking retard.
Everyone who has ever been controlled by the thread is a fucking retard.

>>41243375
Oh, Decu was, or still is, big time into squids. If I remember right, he had a lewd-off with another guy on twitter drawing lewd squids.

Sayaka
Kyouko
Mami

Midori
Chiaki.

But Malal DID fuck with Chiakis memories.
Just not at that specific instance.

>>41243562
Might as well exclude Kyouko, because she just died last Tuesday, Kyuubey because he's always been dead on the inside, Mami because her soul is deader than a single incubator in multiple garbage containers and Chiaki, since she's died at least 10k times to get here.

>>41243594
Just like real life.

>>41242698 >>41242706 >>41242742

You decide to drop the reassurances and go directly for a pulsed infodump. Everything you know, everything you've learned about Chiaki's situation, gathered up into one barely-coherent ball of information and tossed her way. Hoping to hell that your own relative inexperience with pulsing doesn't jumble up everything and give the red-haired Eversor the completely wrong message.

It's not that you didn't want to reassure Kyoko, of course. If anything you feel horrible at piling more onto her plate, seeing as how she's got enough on hers already. But as it stands, she's one of the few people who actually cares what happens to your sempai. Enough that she deserves to know what's really going on, and if she can help at all.

Kyoko's one eye goes wide as your clumsily-organized message makes it through the tenuous connection between your minds, and she lets out what sounds like a groan of pain, her hand coming up to rest against the side of her head. The noise making Iori blink, and then immediately move to Kyoko's side, clearly concerned. Her mouth making familiar shapes, her words somehow muffled by the roar of blood pounding in your ears.

"I'm okay, I'm okay. Just...just a headache coming on, that's all. I'm alright." You hear Kyoko murmur through gritted teeth as she lies back on her bed, knocking a few of her empty snack boxes to the floor. "Probably because I haven't been sleepin' right. Anyway, nothing to worry about." She grins at Iori, before looking back up at you. Her one eye now completely devoid of fear, or horror, or hesitation. Just pure determination.

Chiaki - obvious
Midori - get fucked
Sayaka - not banging Amber

+ I already lost Yuma. I ain't gonna lose Murderface. Tell me what I can do and I'll do it. +

She...she already knows about Yuma? But--

+ She told me personally. Inna dream. Dunno how she did it, but I dreamed of her first thing after I got patched back up. Said she was sorry about leaving, but it was okay because she was getting everyone else back safely. + Kyoko sniffs here, loud and long, like a child about to cry but trying very hard not to. Alarming Iori to the point that you know that the idol is about to call on you at any moment now.

+ Just...tell me what to fuckin' do. Whatever she turned into, Murderface is still Murderface, and I'm not gonna let her die like that. Not alone. Not in a fucking freezer. +

GET TO THE PLANNING ROOM

GET INTO THE COSTUMES

PUT ON THE MASK

"We need to get the golden gun to Sempai."

There's a plan in the works, I'll explain when FUCKING IORI ISN'T AROUND GOD FUCKING DAMN

>>41243661
>>41243689
Basically this.

>>41243696
We're pulsing, what does it matter if she's around?

>>41243661
We gotta do two break ins. One to the vault, one to the silent room.

>>41243661
>"We gotta get the -BURP- t-the golden weapons, Morty, we gotta get the golden weapons, do you understand?"

>>41243661
>[X] Tell her to wait for now, we're still gathering information and making a plan, but we'll contact her as soon as we have everything in place, because we WILL need her help.
>[X] Maybe tell her to see if she can swipe the access card for the GW vault from Sayaka, but ONLY if she has an opportunity for it without it being suspicious. She needs to be MAXIMUM DISCREET.

First, let's make sure that this idol business is over and done with, then have a full strategy meeting with Kyouko.

>>41243661
"keeping the acting Warmaster eyes out of the silent room or the Golden weapon vault would be good"

>>41243661
"I have an idea. I just need help convincing QB to let me do it. And breaking into the Vault and Regalia if he doesn't."

You're the kind of person who thinks nobody will notice you're angry, as long as you're shouting blood and murder in a DIFFERENT language, aren't you?

"Body language", anon. Read up on it. Iori already noticed something's off with Kyouko.

[X]We need to: gain access to the Gold vault, gain entry into silent room regalia and get the golden DEagle to Chiaki.

this is better discussed in private.

>>41243725

>>41243709
>We're pulsing, what does it matter if she's around?
Iori already noticed from Kyouko's body language. Pulsing is draining and causes migraines.

>>41243661
I need the ID card of Sayaka. You think you can take it?

>>41243801
I would totally read magical fetus quest.

>>41243709
Because having two conversations at once is distracting?And if Kyouko freaks out anymore Iori will catch on.

>>41243821
I imagine it would be very similar to Anal Prolapse Quest.

Anyone else getting the feeling that everything we are doing is leading up to the vision of Chiaki on a throne with Midori and Wendy as slaves.

I think getting Kyoko in on this is how she got killed in that vision.

>>41243821
>>41243838
...
What?

>>41243847
Actually, getting Kyouko IN would likely prevent that vision from happening, as long as we solve the problem WITHOUT breaking Chiaki out.

We NEED to fix this WITHOUT running from the 9th, otherwise we're fucked.

>>41243856
Back when Mahou Shounen Quest was a thing and there was a very vocal group that hated it, somebody said in one of the threads that a quest about an anal prolapse would be better than MSQ.

And somebody went and made it.

>>41243880
And they were right. Anal Prolapse Quest was the best quest.

>>41243856
Well I would read a quest about a fetus fighting crime with magic. I have no idea what anal prolapse quest is.

>>41243847
Having Kyouko not contracting with the Second Offico is a must. Plus, we need to do this withouth leaving our Officio

>>41243880
That chain of events does not surprise me one bit, unfortunately. Truly, you can find anything on the Internet... and probably especially so on places like 4 chan.

>>41243880
>>41243904

Why not go rogue?

It'd save QB a hell lot of trouble. We can keep him as an ally but officially be gone or something. He won't have to worry about hiding us. Even if he might get worried about us being on the run, at least he won't take the fall for it. And unless we want to kill everyone in the meguca world, we just don't have to show the wings. Bring a Callidus or two along.

Being Warmaster isn't a necessary position to getting the best end.

Right?

Shit your're right.
Maybe we should tell Kyubey about it first?

>>41243928
A true work of art, which resounds through the ages as the standard all others should aspire to.

>>41243879
as long as we can get the gun that should be easy

coobs will let us visit chiaki again, so we don't need to worry about heartcatch squad or how to open a hole in the door.
then we use callidus bullshit to prevent them from noticing that we are putting something through the hole.

>>41243940
Because going rogue legitimizes the Incubators' fear that Chiaki is becoming Homucifer, even if she isn't. And as a result, 99% of all magical girls are now our enemies and are actively hunting us down.

And QB does not trust Chiaki right now, or anyone trying to help her. We have to succeed in helping her first before he's willing to believe that she isn't a threat.

>>41243905
I can imagine Kharn's kids jumping out of her like a chestburster, jumping onto someone, ripping their face off and using the umbilical cord to bungee jump back into Kharn while flipping the bird at their foes before Kharn's regeneration kicks in.

>>41244000
Do they even have that suspicion?

>>41243940
It doesn't matter if we go rogue. The Ninth will still be eliminated as the Officio that created Satan and QB executed for being the Incubator that let the scourge of their kind re-manifest.

>>41243940
Renouncing to have the resources of an Officio is a bad idea, more if we add the fact that Malal told us that the Golden Weapon users will come for us. Plus, it is likely that the vision of Malal will become reality if we abandon the Officio.
