It takes too long to clear the smoke until Marie decided to use her wind arrows to blow the smoke away. Then you see the damage. The door is gone along with some concrete around the door being chipped, or visible concrete damage. But you can't fine Sachiko around.

"Girls, look around. Sachiko isn't here."

You all go out and look for her and you see some damages in the front door. Floors were singed by black soot from the explosion. After a while you see Sachiko lying down with burns and blood all over her body. Marie then goes to you.

"Junko, police are coming. I can hear the sirens. Possibly the blast was too loud to be contained inside the mansion."

Of course......

Is that an alibi? Because natalya should be in the basement. The fight shouldn't have taken that long for nat to regenerate from whatever trauma we inflicted to her.

>>3452832
yeah it's an alibi. We should also make it sound like Natalya fragged Sachiko too.

>>3452788
>Ask Sakura’s input see if she knows how to seal Sachiko’s soul.

The last thing we want is for Sachiko to come back. As much as I would like to siphon her, Sachiko is too dangerous.

>>3453009

In all the series of events that fall out, the culminination of your personal vendetta lies in your feet. You summon your sword and grip it tightly.

>"Sakura......do you know if there is a way to seal Sachiko's soul."

extinguish her soul huh....well it's hard if the soul has a strong will to live. But nothing a dose of unhealthy corruption will do the trick

You turn around to the girls who is now looking at the scene.

"Girls, once upon a time there was a group of magical girl who found a dangerous shadow in the wharfs. But it was too powerful to defeat one. Sachiko told me to stay while they try to heal themselves. I try to hold out and do my best to give them space. But suddenly she give the order to retreat. Mari carried the injured Rei. Yuu wants to stay with me. But Sachiko drag her out. I ask them if they would come back and they would. But they didn't come back. I was swallowed whole and deeper into abyss. I lost time how long I was in that abyss until I met Sakura. The previous Magical group along with Yuuki who is over there and one other member with the name of RIka. They too also befall from Sachiko words of deceit and made a short work of them in the name of her own twisted justice. And now we stand here........to end what I have started. My own selfish quest as well as others. Marie and Raye are just collateral on the way. I'm happy that I didn't resort to worst scenario for Yuu and I would thank her that even in my state, she still treat me as a human and my best friend. And also to Okada who helped me made all this possible. If not then I would not survive this long. And with my sword.........this is the end."

You raise the sword and go to plunge the blade in her heart when Arc stops you.......

"Nice speech Junko Kurosaki but I would like to apprehend Sachiko Yumegawa for a Code Black violation. Small scale terrorism act."

>Wow....playing magical police aren't we Arc?
>Arc I don't have time for this
>Stand.....back.....

Arc we need to talk about what your employers did to Natalya and if that's your brilliant plan for Sachiko. I've seen what brainwashing does and it never quite works the way you want it too. Sachiko did it Yuu to keep her away from me. You guys did it to Natalya and that worked out great. Sachiko is a rabid dog that should be put down...and Natalya, I think I know what the scientist did to her and I MIGHT be able to fix her. Oh, and your little organization has a leak.

"Sorry but I will get her now."

Arc approach Natalya but Raye and Yuuki blocks the way.

"Stand back Arc. We don’t have time for this. We don’t know how much longer before Sachiko starts to regenerate and you expect me to let you walk off with her. Arc how many times have I just watched Sachicko kick your ass? You expect me to feel safe with you talking her into custody? No that’s not happening."

"I admit that my employers may have in need of her knowledge in whatever she can do but that is not for me to decide. Now please reliqui-"

Marie knocks her out cold and Arc drops unconscious. Then Marie just shrugs and drags away Arc possibly in the basement along with Natalya. With that you sta-

"WAIT!!"

You stop centimeters close to her neck.

"Junko.....is.....is this really you want?"

You look at Yuu with a forlorn face.

"Yuu, this woman is dangerous. If she can do such a scale of attack to the public, we can't predict what she could do if we just......let her go. People don't change when they have a goal in mind and Sachiko will do anything to achieve that....even if it means sacrificing everyone around her."

"..........Kanna, let's go. This is her moment."

Yuu and Kanna walks to inside the mansion.

"My Queen.....I'll be on the entrance." Raye bows...
"I'll stick with her for the moment." Yuuki shrugs
"I'll start cleaning now.....oh dear oh my....." Mako starts jogging to the nearest cleaning room
"I'll practice my alibi excuses then my queen." Okada waddles away

(1/2)

>>3453184
After all of them file away, you look at the burned face of Sachiko. She opens her eyes and a groan of pain was felt in her body.

"I....lost huh."

"Best girl win Sachiko."

"Fuck.......then I'll give you this."

A flash of light was conjured and a DVD dropped in front of you.

"Have a look after doing your thing.......now do it."

You raise the sword and stab Sachiko's heart. Something broke inside like a shard of glass. The girl below was robbed with her breath and gasping for air. After a little while she lie dead.

It's over........

We're alone now Junko.....

>"Yeah.....you still didn't answer my question back then."

What?"

>"What will you do after this?"

I guess I'll stick with you. I still have a lot of girly stuff I didn't experienced

>"Huh.....you okay with that?"

Hey....I'm joining for a ride you know? Also I'm you what? mental adviser?"

>"Mental adviser? You are the worst then."

HEY FUCK YOU!

You laugh at yourself as you bicker with yourself. And with that, the burdens of being betrayed has uplifted. On this day onward, only happy days will come.

Magical Girl Revenge Quest.........END

Epilogues will come

>>3453186
Congrats on finishing up the run QM.

>conjured and a DVD dropped
Well at least Sachiko was kind enough to tell us what we just stepped in. I've been calling this may be one giant misunderstanding since back when we first meet Sakura. Sachiko thought that Sakura was with the organization and figured by corrupting Junko she might get Sakura back for revenge. Instead Sachiko called down the organization and went out like a chump by fighting a two front war against them and Junko.

>>3453249
Thanks.....for now I'll write some shorts about some of the characters here.

>Yoshinobu Okada

A successful businessman mogul who aggressively tackles the market raking billions upon billions in Japanese market. From Foods, Pharmaceutical and his biggest one. The entertainment one. Along with her niece, Mari Okada who also wants to go to the business industry.

...............

"Yes, that's fine.......good. Alright call me later."

"Mr. Okada, here is some of the reports that was given."

"Thanks Mako, you are picking up work faster than I thought......"

"Ehehehe.....well, you taught me well Master."

"Please call me Okada like everyone here......I feel like I have a daughter that I never had been. I never really married someone because I was blinded with greed."

"I see....then excuse me then."

Okada lies in her exeutive chair, slowly creaking under his weight. He thinks for a while until he said.....

"I should start slimming down."

Nonetheless................It failed because all he do is sit and forget to exercise again

>>3453342
Mako

Mako worked on Okada's Mansion for years to come. Junko urged to go back to her studies to her denial. After a lot of persuasion, Mako relented and enrolled on to the remedial class in high school. Turns out, she is a genius herself. The only thing that drags her down was exhaustion, lack of time to do her schoolwork due to all the part time she did and stress from the medical bills. Her mother who was in hospital, was taken home. Doctors said that they couldn't save her heart condition due to a very high risk of fatality rate. They given her at least 2-3 years to live which Mako and her sisters made a lot of wonderful memories......Mako's mother died after 5 years. Much better than the doctors initially predicted. After graduating high school, she pursue in becoming a psychologist. Up until this day, she is one of the best therapist in the city.

.............

"Mako-san.....I don't know what to do. I'm financially broke. I can't feed my children anymore. I have no job and I'm at my wit's end."

"Looking at your profile, you play mobile phone games, goes to a pachinko parlor and drinks on some bars. It may be hard at first but you need to cut off your vices away and start fixing yourself. The road to self discipline is long but if you manage to be at the end, good things won't stop coming."

"I....I'll try."

"Don't try! Do it!"

"Y-yes ma'am!"

Both of you talk some and then the session ends. Mako takes off his glasses and looks at the picture on the table. There, the pictures of your mother, sisters and you. All with smiley faces.

"I'm doing fine right now mother.....so rest easy now."

You turn around to see the sunset slowly go down as you finished another day of giving advice to the people who need mental empowerment.

Oh yeah QM postscripts....

At first when I made this thread it was like the idea that it would turn out to be bad. In truth, I don't have a script. I don't have a plot to move around and my battle narrative is very atrocious. Some of you know this but still I try to run everyday.....or at least 5 days consecutive with 3-7 updates per day. My English is bad and most of all I probably have missed too much. A lot of it can be said from everything on this quest but I would say that I really enjoy it a lot and it would be all thank to you who read it from start to end. I probably have 1-3 dedicated players probably but still better than nothing. So anyway I'll write more epilogue and maybe some shorts until this thread will bury after 13 days. Any questions about the quest is welcome.

Once again thanks for reading out this far.

>>3453552
So you're not going to continue the quest? Given all the plot hooks you were throwing at us i would have expected so.

>>3453552
>Thanks QM. I've said it before but it must be hard to write 5 or 6 days a week from evening to early in the morning for a little over 4 months. Finishing up is pretty commendable. For future stories you might want to consider running 2 to 3 days a week. It's really hard to keep up with a story that runs both late at night and almost everyday. I think some players dropped off from that.
Your English has really improved from thread 1. I've said it a few times but it's a night and day difference. There's still an awkward sentence or two and you slip up with pronouns but It's just stuff you get better with from writing more. Like I recommended earlier check out Strunk and White's The Elements of Style. It's a good little style bible and I need to find where I put my copy before I consider writing again.

As far as questions most of them are plot stuff that would fall into epilogue or a sequel. You have a decent hook for one.
>Any advice for someone considering running a quest?
>Are you writing anything in the future to look out for/when to look out for it?
>Your favorite thing you wrote in the Quest.
>If you didn't save Fantasy Quest. I saved the text of the updates to my phone. I could dump it. (It might be fun to pick it up now that the main quest is over.)

As for unresolved plot stuff from my notes
-corrupting Natalya
-Asking Arc about what we found out/a meeting with the organization before some misunderstanding happens/those three magic users Okada mentioned/Is Arc like Junko and what the heck are we?
-Getting Rei's soul back. We promised/Helping Marie become more like us.
-Figuring out Junko's relationship with Yuu/is Yuu still depressed. Fun sleepover for once, a date?
-Figuring out how shadows/Junko works. Maybe helping out Nagi in the process
-Reassembling a magical girl team (we have two prospects Mako and Nagi) what about that vial of Junko's blood that just got thrown out
-Checking in with mom squad and telling them the threat has passed for now. /general celebration
-Finding a way to explain the reappearances of the girls/ Okada starting a foundation for trafficked and orphaned girls as a cover for our magical activities.
-That DVD

>>3453342
I'm surprised that Okada took so much to Mako. I always was leaving the option open for him to see Junko as a surrogate daughter and Mari as an actual one (since Mari's parents didn't care about her and gave her up so easily) I felt like we sort of neglected Marie on the BFF front, once Yuu came back, so I was pushing for Junko to maybe conspire with Marie to pull a bit of a parent trap and hook up Okada and Mrs. Kurosaki and become actual sisters. We needed to work on both ends Okada's weight and aura and less crazy from mom? (I came up with this before meeting Kurosaki).

>>3453398
A nice end for Mako It didn't say if she became a magical girl or not so hey, future adventures

>>3453922
Oh forgot a couple of things.
- is Mary actually Rika? She did mention should we tell her(Junko) yet to Mari.
-Reuniting Sakura and Yuuki. They have some stuff to talk about.

>>3453948
Yeah she is. Here is the funny thing. When I started this quest I made some voices in the head for Junko. Then I also put how did Marie became magical girl. It was Rei and Sachiko back then. Then Yuu and Junko came in. Lastly was Marie for a few months later. Marie has the same fate as Rika, left alone. Except that Rika alienate herself when Sachiko feeds her with lies while Marie was just general neglect. The Sakura/Yuuki/Rika previous MG group was then inserted when Junko had spasms after Rei corruption. In the span of few hours I wrote a very very long backstory according to Sakura from the
top of my head. Then it just flows and my fingers didn't stop typing until I was satisfied with the flashback. I have really more to say on this but I hope I answered your question.

>>3453922
For a sequel it would never be some revenge as main plotline. Maybe a couple of agents from Arc employer who were put there since the magical girls in the area were disbanded? Then they fight shadows and organization gives questionable orders then girls will choose. Side with Junko who is a menace to be killed OR to the organization where they owe their life to.


I could do that but I don't know if I really could heh.

>>3454893
>Mary's actually Rika
That brings out a few hard hitting questions, like how did she spawn? I gues that from a narrative standpoint it makes sense, but it becomes a real headscratcher when you look at it from other angles.

>>3454917
It doesn't have to be the organization. Being realistic, junko and Co. can't fight what amounts to the magical equivalent of the MI6; they just have way too many resources, way too many contacts and contrary to us, are completely hidden from the world. It makes more sense to have them as a big spooky sleeping beast that we don't want to mess with.

>>3454962
That's true too. Maybe she could start make her own organization but only based on subterfuge under the guise of Okada's Economic study of other countries.

>>3453922
>Any advice for someone considering running a quest?

Time....if you don't have time then it's useless. Everyone can write, many can make a narrative, and few could make it engaging, fun and interactive. But if you don't have time then it's very bad. Also it's not like you have to dedicate your time to the quest (Don't do what I did.) But a consistent time.....let's say, every Sunday would be good. A welcome change if you run except Sunday but you should at least try not to break your regular schedule for anons to look forward to.

>Are you writing anything in the future to look out for/when to look out for it?

I don't know. For now I want to rest as much as I can and focus on my work. It's currently the trimester reports so we expect to have something these past 4 month. Glad that it's not quarterly.

>Your favorite thing you wrote in the Quest.

Mary Bizzare Adventures. I still have a lot of things that I want to make Mary do like being a waitress and serving on a packed family restaurant wher she manage to bring orders as fast as 10 people could do. But it would take time for her to get out so I scrapped it. Then there is a street preformer. After Marie escape from the Cafe, the head maid will chase Mary, then after the idol stage the manager will chase her, both manager and head maid look at each other and would compete who will get Mary. Then there is the street preformer who is promoting her circus. Mary then do juggle acts from bowling pins to swords to axes and then the person who is doing the juggle acts while juggling on his own. I know it's stupid but the circus manager noticed her and want to make her part of the crew. Then the two will come in and she will run away again. Then Mary would give flyers, win a hot spring spa vacation from the pinwheel and accidentally joined the flashmob which whoever chased her also danced from the flashmob with Mary at the center of them all.

Yeah......I kinda liked it.

>If you didn't save Fantasy Quest. I saved the text of the updates to my phone. I could dump it. (It might be fun to pick it up now that the main quest is over.)

It was a stupid one to be honest, I just tried to be funny but that didn't worked. I guess.

>>3455095
To support the first question. No I don't consider myself a QM. I may not hold water to other people who has 10 or 20+ players but take that as you will. It is only based on my opinion anyway and you should ask a lot from other QM who do this longer than me.

Mrs. Mitsukoshi

After the event. Yuu came home and returned to their home. But what surprises them is their father from overseas also came home on that same day. It was a very heartwarming feeling from the Mitsukoshi household.

........

*ding dong*

"Hm? Who might that be?" Mr. Mitsukoshi inqures.

Both the couple is sitting on the sofa watching a variety show on air. Mr. Mitsukoshi stands up and goes to the door. Opening was a police officer standing.

"Good morning sir! Is Mrs. Mitsukoshi there?"

"Yes why?"

"Well, she forgot to sign her name on it and we want to sign her so she is considered bailed out from the prison."

"..........what?"

"I know Sir but....is she you wife perhaps?"

"Yes....."

"Well she incites public disturbance, multiple injuries, destruction of private property and some minor infraction. But not to worry, she is all clean now."

"HONEY!!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WHILE I WAS GONE!!"

"Done wha-......OH SHIT!"

Mrs. Mitsukoshi runs while Mr. Mitsukoshi chases her wife. The police officer also chasing Mrs. Mitsukoshi.

"MA'AM PLEASE DON'T RUN YOU JUST GOING TO SIGN A PAPER!!"

The three of them run around the neighborhood until the police officer catches both of them to clear a misunderstanding.

>>3454917
>>3454989

>Sequel
I couldn't really see Junko being a menace or disbanding the magical girl group. We played her as too much of a good girl. She was willing to do pretty severe things but you had to give Junko a good reason to hurt you. I think Junko would have been smart enough to realize how advantage it would be to create a new magical girl group that she personally had control over and control the shadows in the city. Yuu, Kanna, or any of the new girls would have a reason to hunt Junko and the shadows could clean up the city in ways the magical girls couldn't.

The second is closer to what I would imagine happening. I saw Junko kind of taking issue with the organization for allowing the trash fire of Sachiko and her father to fester in town for so long without a real response. I think Junko would want to set up her own magical organization. Economic study is a good way to make it international. I think a women's group for trafficked/orphaned/exploited girls would be a good cover for the base organization as it would allow Junko to not only move around a bunch of girls with few questions but let her care for their day to day needs. It would make sense that a charity like that would have teachers, doctors, therapists, and a cook on stand by (think Xavier's school in The X-Men) and fits with my general idea for an alibi. Mari got away from the kidnappers, was sick for a while, worked with Okada to find Junko in one of the rings, and they got to the bottom of the whole thing and found all the girls.

You definitely have enough room for a Junko centric sequel to still work. Maybe a sim of her organization with more slice of life elements for the comedy.

>>3454962
>Rika
There were hints here and there post Sakura coming back. I assumed Junko brought her back without knowing what she was doing. It's a shame we never got to have a "the gang's all here" moment for the original team. (I had an idea after Okada commissioned the portrait was for Junko to ask Okada to make an anime or manga about Sakura and Co. That way people outside of Junko's team might remember them even as just fictional characters. I just never got a chance to bring it up) It's the same for Kanna. We never really got a chance to see her in action.

>>3455104
That's actually the reason I asked you first. I wanted to get the perspective of someone that might be fresh off a first (I didn't know for sure) quest. I've both played and ran tabletop games, but a quest is sort of a different beast. I've never really wrote much fiction before and my writing skills letting me down concerns me. It's been a long time since I wrote a lot; I feel like my skills have atrophied from lack of practice. Thanks for the advice.

I'll keep my eyes pealed for anything you may decide to write in the future.

>>3455193
Mrs. Kurosaki

Her daughter loss was the most devastating moment of her life. Left almost a broken woman, she was saved by Junko who visits their home. Now coping from the loss from her beloved husband and now resurrected daughter, she is trying to make the most of her life. While her daughter would corral her from being a drunkard, she landed a job as a wine taster thanks to Okada's connection and future broadcaster channel owner. She now appears on T.V. where she taste different kinds of wine, whiskey, gins, brandy, cognac, vodka or every alcoholic beverages and would give reviews on them.


...................


>*ON AIR*

"And so we have a next postcard from our beloved fans who wants a woman drinking wine. Hehe....that's a joke everyone. Anyway let's see......"

>Dear. Kei-san

>I liked your show a lot. Thanks to you, I know what kind of alcohol I should serve to my guest. Oh yeah...I'm Riku-san. A bartender. Thanks to your show, I can give excellent recommendations to my customers.

P.S. I also like you a lot so please go out with me

"Eh? Me? Oh my I have been getting a lot of confession letters aren't we? Anyway thanks for watching my show everyone. Bye....."

"AND CUT!"

"Good work Kurosaki-san"

"Why do you make me read another confession letter again director."

"Well, we need to market your personality to draw more single men into watching your show. I mean I wouldn't be surprise if 80% of the adult population drinks. But anyway, good work. You can take a rest now."

Mrs. Kurosaki walks to the door and into her room where various costumes, make ups and hair cosmetics are in dispaly. Looking at her mirror, she could be mistakenly seen as a young lady in her early 20's even though she is 41 years old.

"Hmm.....As much as I want to remarry, I only have a love of my life. And I can see him in Junko too."

Giggling to herself, she starts to take away the make-up in her face who can't wait to go home and spend time with her daughter.

Gah. I missed the final thread.
>>3454962
Depends on how strong we can actually grow to. We had a peek at how much stronger we could get when we thought our mother was dead. A few years of growing while siphoning corruption from mega city one could make us less of a jobber.

>>3454962
>>3455586
We also went from getting curb stomped by their best agent that was actually trying to lose to taking down Sachiko, Natayla, and (technically) Arc at the same time.

I think we're too powerful for a "conventional" assassination attempt by now if Arc is a top tier champion. We'd need to be hit by military ordinance to die by now and that might just give us corruption to regenerate thanks to collateral damage. We should be immune to poisons and disease by now. No regular magical girl is gonna think they can pull off what Arc couldn't. We basically have the city on lockdown. The corruption spike we sent that can probably be seen by magical girls in space tells them that any kidnapping/blackmail attempts make things worse.
The way they treat Arc sounds like a hotbed of corrupt magical girls we could literally bribe into ignoring or defecting to us due to their dissatisfaction with their current employers if they weren't bullying Arc due to her being partially corrupted.
Sachiko even proves how badly attempting to send numbers at us can snowball into actually giving us a level grind and new abilities.

I think the organization at this point is wary of us and considering an attack as mutually assured destruction. Some of that is probably overestimation on their part, but they aren't yet suicidal.
>>3454989
I was personally thinking magical "kingdom." Get ourselves financially entrenched or vital to the stability of the area via ensuring corruption doesn't run rampant. The organization can't really do anything to any group of magical girls under our patronage without leaving an entire area defenseless or wasting exorbitant resources on agents having to patrol a city that normally would patrol itself. I mean, we could try spy games but I find the idea of people noticing that we inexplicably are worshipped as Queen by all sorts of famous people (Okada, Mako's little family of geniuses,Doc,Marie, All of those shadows),and it starting a cult of Junko more hilarious. That then snowballs into us being nicknamed the "Queen" of whatever our prefecture was called
> what about that vial of Junko's blood that just got thrown out
99% chance it got tossed into the incinerator. and died We'd have heard about a dead janitor by now.
>>3453552
What happened to the kid from the tutorial fight? He clearly saw some shit and I was never really sure if we had accidentally killed him.
>-Finding a way to explain the reappearances of the girls/ Okada starting a foundation for trafficked and orphaned girls as a cover for our magical activities.
Rich people don't need cover for being in a bunch of places. They are rich and like to travel. I'm sure that there's at least some local business of disrepute that can take the fall for that. The real problems are explaining Junko and Rei. Junko can be thawed out of a block of ice to make a creepy urban legend of some ice monster.

I'm actually a little surprised we didnt feed her to the bag

>>3455656
>Junko’s power/the organization
I agree. The MAD thing was something I would have brought up in a hypothetical meeting. Hurting Junko’s friends would result in an angry dark queen or if Junko got taken out a bunch of high power sentient shadows rampaging around. I would have also offered to hire/protect Arc if she was being treated poorly/in danger from the organization herself.

>spying
We could create new girls they don’t know about. However yup I agree on the second point. There is the possibility that the organization is too concerned with global matters to deal with one city. So they might just cede it to Junko’s protection.

>blood
Unanswered plot hook. Only reason I brought it up.

>the kid
We actually wound up back outside that building after the office building fight but we were too busy with a wounded Yuuki in tow and Kanna’s brother still in captivity to check.

>Alibi
I was specifically thinking of Junko and Rei. We had Okada leak rumors of Mari’s disappearance to the public, so she could help sell the story that a kidnapping ring was responsible for all the girls going missing. Depending on how well Okada can fabricate evidence he could tie in Natalya’s attacks and what we wound up doing to the mansion as being part of it. Heck we could even say a corrupted Natalya was a hostage forced to attack Okada by the “international traffickers”.
As far as a charity I said it in here >>3455287 it’s a perfect cover for creating a new magical girl group/army.

>>3455689
Neat story.

Interesting ending.

>>3455335

Dr. Nagi

She has successfully found a cure thanks to her research with a little bit of cheating viruses from Junko's blood making any tubercolosis kill the bacteria. The first 1000 batches were one of the most scariest due to the unforseen mutation that would make anyone who drinks it not to be healed with tubercolosis but rather making them immune to any diseases. While Dr. Nagi wants to make it widespread, it would make any kind of scientific research about medicinal research nil because of the wonder drug that would potentially change the entire course of the human race. Also Okada forbids it as it destroys the market. She then makes a lot or research about various pathogens and anti-bodies that Junko blood possess to find another cure for another sickness.

.................

"Say Dr. Nagi?"

"Hm?"

"Aren't you bothered that you can't see my blood?"

"Well I saw many weird things these past few days. A weirdness in medicine is nothing but normal. It could also means that I could study it too."

"Come here then....."

Dr. Nagi come closer to Junko. She then closes her eyes with her hands.

"Is this a surprise? A peek a boo? I think there is no point to....."

Junko then releases her hands and gets a scalpel in the table.

"Wait that's dangerous! It's very sharp."

"Perfect....."

Junko then cut a little bit in her finger as black blood oozes out.

"Wait...why is it black?"

"So you can see it now?"

"Well yeah?"

"Perfect! Then study this. It may help you in a long run."

"Then I may need a bag worth of your blood then."

"Sure....."

It was that day when Dr. Nagi make giant strides in her medicinal research certainly baffles everything as she cannot wrap how effective the blood Junko carries.Regardless she remembers the promise that nothing will come out nor secrets will be reveal. All names are withheld to protect the innocent. And no records was made to prevent anyone who is nosy enough to track whoever aids in her research.

>>3455689
The blood was incinerated. I think standard procedure of any hospital is to segregate any containers that contains any kind of liquid. But I don't really know how hospital works anyway so......

>>3455734
Kanna Rikudo

Kanna was a lucky girl. After the incident, she was given explanation why she was absent for a week. She then gives explanation of the state of their house, police reports and with the help of Okada where they were put into the welfare shelter in case the attacker come back again. That they forgot to tell the school due to the strange happening in the city and the chaos surrounds it. She was given a pass and got a personal tutor after the end of the class to catch up. The teachers took pity on her as Okada also includes "undergoing therapy from the incident that caused mild PTSD" Thanks to that excuse, Kanna has many chance to slack.
She with Yuu with Junko starts to look out for prospective girls who wants to be a magical girl. So far.....she has a lot of candidates.

..............

Raye/Rei

Raye missing memories were the subject of discussion between her and Junko. While Junko wants to return the memories from her previous self, Raye rejects every single one of them. It came to the point that she weave a new spell called Mental Wall where any magical spell that messes her mental capabilities, will be repelled. Despite this, Junko didn't give up looking for ways to coax her in returning some of her memories. In her off times, she writes questionable literature in some site where she gathered a lot of followers.


.............

Marie Okada

Marie was the talk of the town after her appearance. Previously on the news, she returned where the agreed scripted scenario that they will show where she was found in a kidnapping ring and to be sold as a sex slave. Thanks to her reveal, the police starts to crack down yakuza's around the town where for the first time ever revealed a lot of female exploitation where they were treated as objects. Marie won a lot of awards for these and became a television personality.

But that is just her own personality. With Mary she shapeshifts into someone else as a famous yandere maid in a yandere maid cafe where people who has a fetish for it visited it regularly. It was blown out of proportion that it was forced to take it out of business due to the violent nature and borderline prostitution and several ambulance visits from the establishment itself. Mary then became a debutee solo idol herself making all producers on the whole country clamoring her to be part of their respective group. The Mari became a fashion designer, designs every kind of dresses. Whenever Mari comes to the mansion or even near her, Junko is missing.

>>3455777
Yuu Mitsukoshi

Yuu was also called after her being absent for two weeks. The teacher came to the house and it was empty, it was then discovered that same as Kanna, she was also attacked by unknown group. She was given a remedial class where she is slowly catching up to the lessons. After 2 years, she graduated and pursuing as a psychologist but didn't finish it as it was not her calling. Dropping out in college in the first three months instead, she enters MMA where she became an undisputed champion.......thanks to her cheat skills of being a magical girl.

.................

"Alright tiger, are you ready?"

"YES MANAGER!"

"That's it! now let's get out."

The loud cheers around the arena is heard and both of you just outside of the octagon. Then the announcer announce the fighters.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.....Let me introduce you our main fight of this event. Our challenger is from Mexico with a record of 32 wins, no losses, no draws with 18 wins via knockout, 12 wins via submission and 2 unanimous decision wins. PLEASE WELCOME....EL RAPPIDA!!

The girl goes up to the ring with a lucha mask in her face, she takes it off and shows her dark brown face. She looks at you and smirks.

AND OUR CHAMPION FROM JAPAN, with a record of 37 wins, no losses no draw with 30 wins via knockout and 7 wins via submission. PLEASE WELCOME TIGRESS!!

You go up to the octagon and raise you hand and then you feel it. She isn't normal. Both of you then face to face where the referee is talking about rules. But you can only hear her words.

"May the best magical girl in the octagon wins........."

The referee then points you in your respective starting position. And with the bell rings. The fight starts.....

>>3455787
Junko Kurosaki

Junko returns to school but now in different name. Yuu and Kanna can see her and change her surname to Kiyoko Kurayami. Many forged papers and favors were done to make a convincing school transfer records are made. In the end, it pushed true and her face made an uncanny resemblance to Junko Kurosaki except for the scar in her face. At first many would not approach her because of an air that she is a delinquent. Then rumors fly around that she transferred here ranging from hurting a student, injuring a teacher to outright killing a student. Despite this, few people dare to approach Kiyoko(Junko) mostly fellow delinquents. At the end of the school year, she already have an army of all delinquent in the area as banchou. Although she turned them to new leaf one by one by using of intimidation tactics usually scaring them so bad that it scars them and made them a better person. Yuu firstly reprimand Junko about her own little project but Junko dismisses it as "it will help in a long run". Fast forward 2 years ago, she gone to the university where Mako is already in her last year senior with Yuu but Yuu drops off and gone a different career path. Junko finishes her studies and became a therapist.

.............

3 days after get defeat. Everything start to cool down. Although there are few journalist would try to Snoop around which Mako would kick them out forcibly. She goes to Okada's office where she announce.

"Okada.....I might take that throne you built when first time I came here."

"!!!!"

"Surprised?"

"A-are you gonna take the black throne?"

"Is it not available at this time?"

"No.....it's...fine."

A few minutes later, Okada's office became a throne room. There lies the black iron throne that Okada dreams back then. Your outfit then changed into a black gown. Similar to what the giant picture Okada commissioned to. Before you sit down, you face to the front where various shadow of rank, size and corrupted ones convened inside the mansion.

"On this day forward, I will take over this city. Where shadows like me will thrive. Where the weak will have a chance to be strong. As your queen...kneel before me. My words are absolute. FEAR MY POWERS!!!"

A wave of corruptive energy blow the lesser shadows away while the stronger ones cower in fear. The wave gone out of the mansion covering the whole city. Every shadow now in the city, instead of prowling outside now hides in darkness in fear of the new empress. The one and only......

........

>>3456004

>3 hours after the death of Sachiko.

You are alone in your room with a laptop in your table borrowed from Okada. You open the disc tray on the side and slide it in. Then there is a single video which you opened. There, you see Sachiko in the screen in a room that you can't recognize.

*click*
>Test? Oh good! My name is Sachiko.....Sachiko Tomoko. M-my sister was a magical girl. But.....after my father's death. My mother remarried. It was a good family.....until something happened. My stepfather, forcibly corrupted my sister. She became a monster immediately killed my father. Then I saw three girls and thought they killed my father and now my sister too. After they defeated the two shadows, one from my father's corpse and my sister, she told me everything, and offered her hope essence to me. Making me a magical girl.......and died. Looking at my stepfather notes, I found a shocking revelation. There was no hope energy, just pure corruption. The moment I became a magical girl is the day I am also exposed as corrupted ones. It is just cleverly hidden in the guise of Sunshine and rainbows. In concept, a raw corruptive energy can be purified. But the results ends with low hope energy. It chips off a lot of energy to make a purified one. Like cooking a meat. You can weigh a kilogram of meat. Cook them in a hot oil and you'll end with 1/4 or even 1/8 of the weight. Hence my stepfather kidnaps a lot of children and make them fall into despair harvesting corruptive energies to make a hope essence. And engineered one. Like my sister her abilities steal from other defeated enemies and incorporate adapting to my current skills. Natalya is doing me a favor of ripping both corruptive and hope energy that would empower me to kill Arc and her lackeys..... I'll probably lose but it will trip a lot of alarms for them. The hunt is on. Everything will know this city. But if I survive know this.......the organization with burn down along with it. Same to all the agencies around the world. We may be Magical Girls but forcing a 12 year old with a shell life of 10-12 years only to be killed and repurpose the more stronger hope energy? According to the notes, the energy is stronger when in teenage years due to a volatile emotions that empowers the hope energy stronger. But it would show a steep decline ones she hits 21 above and will disappear in 30's making her normal again. But with a corruption laden individual it will take forever and will make them stronger. But they would feed vices to maintain. Or eat shadow essence which is stronger and cannot be defeated alone. Not only this but also the Yakuza also have a partnership on this endeavor. Yuu destroyed one of them and that was a great idea. It's just that they will find her and harass their family. I made short work of them when I tried to scan her memory. That is also why Natalya doesn't want to go back. She is already 22 and don't want to die.

There was a long silence. Then she resumed

>>3456009
>I didn't say a lot of things in this video. If someone caught this from a wrong person. They would dismiss it as a crazy woman talking about nonsense. But if you got this video and the right person......at least, resume the fight for me. I'm probably dead in the future but......I hope I can entrust you this. I hid a hope essence in the mountains in the summit. Look for three stones that stack together. You wont miss it. They are big boulders. At the left side, there's a white stone that glows in the night periodically. Dig it and eat it. It will bestow you a power that will be enough to destroy the organization. Along is my memories and plans to execute it. Natalya left the things on the main branch of the tools to be used. Do it for me......if not, at least pass it on a next female person.....or find this name.

Sachiko writes something and shows it on the screen.

>Yuu Mitsukoshi
>Give it to her. Make sure no one founds it. But if someone did....

She sighs....see stands up and bows.

>From the deepness of my heart, please help me. I hope to secure your cooperation. I may ask you too much but this is for the greater good. A greater good for a girl like me.

The video stops and you stand up. Going down the basement you look at the two chained individual. Natalya and Arc. You go to Arc side and slap her awake.

"Hey, wake up."

"Bwuh? What?"

She mumble some gibberish words and look around adjusting her vision until Arc looks at you.

"What is the meaning of this Junko Kurosaki?"

"You and I have a lot to talk about......agent Arc."

Every word was drowned inaudible inside the room where Junko grills Arc to speak everything about the organization.

>Some options.....Will Junko corrupt both of them? Or kill them?
>Corrupt (who?)
>Kill (who?)

(This is just vanilla choices for future write-in.)

So did I miss something? Please let me know.

>>3455656
>Kid in the tutorial fight.

I was gonna make him a recurring character. If anona vote to kill him, she would realize that he was the convenience store cashier. Thanks to his fear, the shadowspawn found him and chased until cornered to where the tutorial fight takes in. Then he would go as a security guard in the marina, the hired muscle in Yuu's rampage, the waiter in the scrapped Mary bizzare adventure. The tour guide in the mountains, a part time cleaner at Ryumeki Inn and a lot of appearance. But I forgot about it. I also chuckled what if Junko and him ended up as a couple? Then he will remember when they first met. I was madly giggling on the prospect.

>>3456018
You missed Nei/Yuuki

>>3456038
I assumed from the language that the store clerk was an adult and the kid was a small child. So I would have never put two and two together. Then Yuu wound up spilling her spaghetti to Junko at the wharf so it's hard for me to see Junko winding up with anyone but Yuu. I'm not really a /u/ person but Junko and Yuu pair too well with each other. I more see that Junko is in love with Yuu as a person and is devoted to her beyond friendship. The whole sex aspect of relationships didn't click until Mary showed back up and gave the birds and the bees talk. I didn't want Junko to wind up like Alice in Magical Girl Hunter and figure out that she was in love with someone only to let them slip through her fingers.

>>3456016
I know that these posts may or may not be canon, but did we really believe sashiko just like that? She was a manipulator and a bastard. IC, there is a huge chance that this video is a lie.
Also, Junko just signed her own death because the organization is always listening to Arc only she's capable of jamming the signal. Now they know that Okada is our sponsor, that we are torturing their best agent and that we are coming for them.

>>3456053
It's alright. It's only a hypothetical imagination of mine. Also I'm not a /u/ person but the more about I write Junko and Yuu together, the more I want them to be together. Like....

>At the wharf

Yuu fidgets a lot while Junko waits for Yuu to speak. The seagulls in the sea shouts for Yuu.....to speak her damn feelings about Junko. Or at least she told herself. The sun slowly dips down where the perfect sunset, will be a good mood to confess romantically.

"So? What is it?" Junko inquired....

"Junko....d....do you like me?"

"Yeah I do? Why?"

"T-then together forever?"

"Of course! You are my bestest friend ever."

"............"

"What?"

"One day, you will realize my feelings.....just wait."

Yuu runs her face blushing too hard. Junko tilts her head confusingly. After she is out of vision her lips curl into smile.

"It's fun to mess with her. Of course I love you too dummy. But I won't give my answer until you found a courage to do it."

Junko walks back to the mansion where the sun slowly falls coating the orange hue sky into blue.

>>3456016
I'm going to need to re-read the past few posts again to actually write stuff in

>Corrupt Natalya
She was being manipulated by Sachiko, had been tortured and mind broken by the Organization, had been turned into a monster by incomplete corruption from science dad, and was dying the whole time. Junko would give her a chance to atone for what she did and we can use her help.

>As for Arc let's interrogate her more
I need to think more about what I would want to ask. I would somewhat distrust Sachiko, but the Organization hasn't earned many points. We need to find out more about what Arc is and if she is dying/in danger herself.

>>3456055
That's if we torture her or kill her. I'm not certain what we will find out. Especially since OC we know that the Organization shut down science dad and people of his ilk. Sachiko might have been being manipulated by rogue elements formerly of the Organization wanting to go back to the old ways. Junko might be able to solve MG's lifespan problem. It's a matter of finding out how benevolent the Organization is.

>>3456055
Phone was not brought when she goes into combat. Would get destroyed you know....so organization don't know what happened to Arc

>>3456071
>>3456069
>>3456055
Question now is what DOES the Organization know, and if they can do anything about it.

>>3456068
d'awww. You also wound up making Junko and Yuu literal soulmates thanks to Sakura. Between that and the wharf spaghetti I wound up seeing Junko and Yuu that way in the later threads. If learning the hope dance didn't take all night I would have voted for Junko to want to have a sleepover with Yuu in Junko's room and depending on what happens be cute and awkward (Like if there wasn't sleeping bags and they wound up in the same bed after Mary's speech to Junko and Yuu reading the corrupted doujin.)

>>3456071
interesting. I need to make some lunch and I will start writing up my line of questioning.

>>3455787
I'm not really sure why Yuu even tried psychology. I would have pegged her for trying to become an indiana jones style archeologist, or whatever the schools in her area specialize in
Shame on Yuu for cheating via entering a competition with superpowers. I wonder how dedicated either side is to even maintaining the masquerade that they're normal humans..
>>3455734
I'm surprised Okada isn't ok with a pancea. The money he could make from discreetly having employees incapable of becoming sick would be a little tempting. And there's always the mysterious merchant route.
I'm just gonna headcanon that killing ALL viruses/bacteria when our body contains several pounds of them that it uses to function properly might be considered a bad idea.
It might also be pretty dangerous since some viruses have left behind DNA in the human genome before, so humans in general have large stretches of deactivated viral DNA that could mutate into being active at any time. I assume the panacea might react to said DNA and suddenly you have your own body being directed to attack itself.
>>3456016
(that explains why the Yakuza knew to bug the fuck out instead of it inciting a massive gang war where everyone assumes that somebody else did it, the magical cocaine, and probably some other things)
>I obviously can't trust the sources, but I've heard some very damning things about your employer within the last few hours. Constant memory wipes, child sacrifice,Yakuza connections, more child sacrifice, and just all around nastiness that I am very much against.

>I don't think that you personally have anything to do with it, but if I even see the slightest hint that your people are trying to set things like that up in my home or anywhere else I go, they will NOT be given a second chance to do it over and over again like Sachiko. People's lives are not something you should write off like that for no good reason. People become magical girls to help people, not to be turned into canon fodder.
>I am going to put Natalya out of her misery. It's not like whatever the hell your organization has been doing or will be doing is any better.I'm really pisseed off that anything that happens to her now is a mercy instead of a punishment.
(And screw taking up Sachiko's cause. She's already a manipulator, so we can't trust a thing she said in her little DVD, and her methods are exactly like the organization she hates so much, and fuck Sachiko. I say we check out the hope seed and absorb it once our (shadow mass?) is large enough to contain it but only while being extremely paranoid for traps.
)
I wonder if Arc might actually decide to
stick around in town if only to keep an eye on us. After the crap she's gone through from her superiors, a cushy "embassy" job might be a decent way to retire.

>>3456069
>Every word was drowned inaudible inside the room where Junko grills Arc to speak everything about the organization.
I hope that text doesn't mean that we are torturing her, because arc was actively trying to protect us from the organization.
Also, this might be my inner cynic speaking, but i don't find too concerning the use of kids for their powers. All corporations do that and no one bats an eye. Hell, i'm pretty sure that okada does the same because its cheap labor.
>Junko might be able to solve MG's lifespan problem.
But that's not a problem per se. The organization just kill the girls that are left without powers instead of giving them a gun and keeping them as normal agents.

>>3456068
Huh. So junko isn't as dense as i thought. That's interesting.

>>3456071
Fair enough

>>3456073
WHY would they want to do something about it? We aren't a threat and the further away they are from us, the lower the chances are that somebody will reveal something important. Its better to keep away.

>>3456085
> I honestly thought Yuu would be into art from being in the photography club earlier.

>Arc
I was going to offer her a better employer, us, It sounds like she has a raw deal too. If the Organization is somewhat beneolvent she could be in our organization to oversee the trues, but that depends on what answers we get.

Sachiko's Cause
I worried about traps too. We can ask Natalya about it. I had a hare brained theory that Junko's father might have been Sachiko's father and possibly Science Dad. Junko or Sachiko might have been a bastard child. Which is partially why both of them were bullied and Sachiko was so jealous of Junko. I didn't want to ruin it if that was the twist. I was waiting to see Sachiko rattle off Junko's dad's name in the DVD and for Junko to pull records and find out Sachiko wasn't lying and she just killed her half-sister.

>>3456089
I might have misunderstood. Is there more than one organization?

>>3456102
Seems like there are a few groups of magic users but we haven't met them yet.

>>3456103
I thought they were branches of the same thing.

>>3456101
That's only her excuse because she likes to take pictures with Junko. Her closet we're filled with Junko's picture.

>>3456101
>Junko's father might have been Sachiko's father and possibly Science Dad. Junko or Sachiko might have been a bastard child.
That's just too convoluted. Rika being Mary is already too close to crossing the line and everyone being connected is just too much.

>>3456107
Its safe to assume that there are different factions with very different goals.

>>3456085
>>3456016
Oh and just general questions about magical girl organizations like the most famous ones territories and all of that stuff. I think Arc can be at least a little forthcoming about it if only to stop us from taking a trip to New York and every MG girl group in the city immediately going on the attack because they think a horrific shadow invasion happened. This is obviously a reasonable reaction, but an APB to NOT try and fight the nigh undefeatable dark queen to kickstart a magical war neither side wants might be in order. I'm guessing that we'd get treated like Kim Jong Il, or president Winnie the Pooh when they visit a foreign nation. Assassination might be tempting, but a bad idea.

As for Natalya? Think we can manage keeping her memory intact like something we can freely browse through? I was actually thinking of making it a spare body for Sakura but idk what sort of nastiness the organization has left in there that would affect Sakura if she took over.
Info on the other organizations would be welcome too now that we actually know there's other stuff we can get from Natalya which might not be classified.
>>3456068
I personally never saw it on Junko's end and Yuu's was started by /u/posting, but my gaydar is so broke that I didn't realize that my openly gay friend in middle school was actually gay until high school.(I never believed anyone that said he was gay since that was the same group that always called me gay while always trying to peek in on me while I was changing for gym.)

I'd (personally) lean towards Junko being bi if anything since Junko was blushing at the idea that she actually was really pretty to guys during our failed disguise check and that many (barely if at all closeted) lesbians in a small group giggling/gossiping about boys all the time seems a bit weird. Kanna and Sachiko are the only straight ones in the group? If we include both groups that's still a giant L zone since Sakura is pretty suspect and Mary was secretly from the old group.

>>3456016

>“Look Arc, you’ve help me a lot today. You seem nice and I really don’t want to hurt or scare you. You haven’t been entirely honest or forthcoming with me. I couldn’t let you walk off with a threat like Sachiko or Natalya. They are too strong willed for brainwashing not to mention how horrible it would be to replicate their condition in other girls. I’m going to corrupt Natalya. Look I know you were friends but she is too unstable like she is. I think she is a failed attempt at a sentient shadow/magical girl hybrid like us. I think I can fix her condition via corruption. She will have time to atone for her crimes that way. I do feel sorry for her. She tried to kill people close to me but she failed at it. Any malice was motivated by her underlying condition and Sachiko’s manipulation. Plus, I heard she is dying. I can understand that as a motivation. I’m going to try to give her a second chance at a normal life and better friends that won’t exploit her as a tool.”
>Call down Marie, Raye, and Mako to help out corrupting Natalya. As for a new name Natalie? Maybe something else Russian
>”As for you, Arc, what really happened three years ago? You, Natalya, and Sachiko were all together. The group had “saved” you without explicit knowledge of your employer. Then Sachiko kills everyone besides you and Natalya. Natalya runs off from your employer and Sachiko and her want to wipe them out. Your people leave this situation and this whole city smoldering like a trash fire for years and only now decide to act. What gives?”
>”Furthermore what are you and how did you become like this? You seem to be a lot like me. I know it’s traumatic but it happened to me too. I want to know what is going on with the whole magical girl system. I’ve stumbled on some concerning things. I need you to verify them.”
>”What is your employers’ role in all of this? I obviously can't trust the sources, but I've heard some very damning things about your employer within the last few hours. Constant memory wipes, child sacrifice, Yakuza connections, more child sacrifice, and just all around nastiness that I am very much against.”
>”What about the other groups? Okada was looking out for other magic users. Who are they really?”
>”Arc is your employer threatening you like Natlaya. I became a magical girl on accident but I like helping people. I would help you too if it wasn’t apparent from my past actions. It’s clear you were sent into a fucked up situation without much help and you would be dead if it wasn’t for my help. I don’t like seeing people be mistreated by anyone.”

I might come up with more but my lunch is almost done.

>>3456137
>I'd (personally) lean towards Junko being bi
I agree with this as well. Like you dais, the idea of both girls being together started by /u/posting. Before that(And until this very last post) it was just a very creepy affection that was just one sided.

>As for Natalya? Think we can manage keeping her memory intact like something we can freely browse through?
It should be possible, specially if the target is willing to share their memories. After all, we were capable of infiltrating Nat's memories, but with little results due to her being a weird robot thing and being in shock from the pain. Maybe we'll have more successes if we go inside when they are sleeping.

>>3456176
>I’m going to corrupt Natalya.
...No. I hate to say it, but with the new information we have, blueballing Arc like that is a bad idea(specially if you want to ask her all the other questions after the fact). We might be able to reach a compromise, but Arc needs to return with someone so that her bosses don't suspect a thing. Also natalya is a bitch and she purposely chose the most horrific actions to fuck us over. She might be sorry, she might be "misguided" but she is 7 years older than us and knew damn well what were the consequences of her acts.

>It’s clear you were sent into a fucked up situation without much help
We knew OOC that arc was stubborn enough to not ask for backup when HQ asked her and her original mission was just to investigate.

>>3456119
Might be that’s why I didn’t bring it up. Risk makes a lot of sense though. My theory was Rika wound up mind broken from Sachiko’s rumors and corruption. By the time we pulled her out of the void and slapped her in Mari, she had no clue who she was and had regressed back to being a child from trauma. There was a clue in the first fight with sachiko.

>>3456137
I wanted the meeting to happen so we could see about creating some sort of alliance to avoid such a situation. Who knows now until Arc verifies what’s on the DVD.

I wound up seeing Junko as Yuu-sexual because of how innocent she was until Mary butted in.
Rei was strait-ish (she also had yuri stuff and used it in the pastebin) then we corrupted her. Natalya also seems strait. Sakura seems to have a thing for Yuuki if you read between the lines.

Magical girl stuff and shoujo stuff in general can turn into giant L zones if there isn’t a dedicated Male love interest introduced. Blame Utena for making it popular. Although it goes back much earlier than that in a literary context.

>>3456190
>By the time we pulled her out of the void and slapped her in Mari, she had no clue who she was and had regressed back to being a child from trauma. There was a clue in the first fight with sachiko.
The thing is that this is too lucky, you know? specially since sakura told us that the abyss shreds your personality into little nothings. It makes sense that sakura and Yuuki survived, but the next thing we'll know is that Raye is in reality the other whatshername that was killed first and that sashiko will take over....I don't know, lets say mako, because of her deep connection with the corruption

>Magical girl stuff and shoujo stuff in general can turn into giant L zones if there isn’t a dedicated Male love interest introduced.
Fair enough, but on the other hand it seems a little bit to hamfisted to have a romantic interest at all when we have been fighting all this time.

>>3456183
Saying we're gonna corrupt Natayla is a bit too direct and alarming for Arc.
I personally think we need to maintain the tone of somebody fed of with her organization's shit instead of teehee I am shadow queen. One makes us have a moral high ground being harsh with punishment and critical of an incompetent authority while the other makes us look like we succumb to shadow instincts. It's effectively the same actions but creates very different responses.

>>3456190
Arc isn't going to verify that DVD claiming she's an evil bitch with a horde of lackeys. She doesn't even have lackeys as we saw OOC, so it isn't even true, and even if it was she'd be hilariously incompetent to confirm it when doing so goes against her interests. Unless Arc was secretly mindwiped/brainwashed too when the project got shutdown/

Junko was just attached to her friends. Yuu was literally her only friend from childhood until middle school.
People just also have a tendency towards shipping and projecting anything sexual onto stuff.
Eg. All of your teachers were secretly shipping your classmates the entire time and they are mad that you didn't make their ship a thing.

I won't have a conniption over it, I'm gonna stop talking about anything Junko/Yuu wise at the least since I might give the mistaken impression that i'm vehemently opposed to it instead of having a different view.

Nat is a vegetable. I don't think she even feels proper lust. She wouldn't even do rape for the pleasure instead of for sadism and she can just skip the rape part for more sadism.

>>3456213

The shadow afterlife thing is really starting to sound like the circle/wheel of reincarnation a bit. You die, you get your soul shredded, you pop back out.

>>3456183
>Natalya
We could move around the timing of corrupting her for interrogation purposes but Natalya like Sachiko is too dangerous to give back to the organization without being corrupted to be loyal to us. It's not a question of blueballing Arc it's a question of if we can trust the organization period. If there is a kernel of truth in what Sachiko told us (which fits with us seeing what the organization did to Natalya) we aren't sending Arc back, she couldn't be trusted. If the organization is benevolent and the shit heads got shuffled out in the leadership change that took out Sachkio's dad. An alliance with Junko and her powers is a much juicer prospect than Natalya. We could also make it sound like Natalya and Sachiko killed each other.
As for being a bitch we know that Natalya is a junkie for hope energy and if she doesn't get it she may die. She knew the consequences of her actions but how much was her underlying condition and Sachiko clouding her judgement. We gave Mari a second chance and she DID kill Junko. If we send Natalya back she either brakes out again to go after us or dies without us getting her to atone for what she did to our friends.

>>3456224
>Saying we're gonna corrupt Natayla is a bit too direct and alarming for Arc.
Maybe, I would have said to corrupt Natalya before Arc ever even woke up, but hey Junko woke her up.
I was trying to sell Arc that it wasn't for some shadow reason but rather we are trying to solve the underlying reason why Natalya is a problem--the shit that science dad did. We know from Yuu that Natalya wasn't lying about her condition or how she got that way. The organization and sachiko just used natalya as a weapon. It doesn't take the moral high ground from us the organization just tried brainwashing Nat multiple times. We could fix Natalya and give her a second chance. Killing Natalya cedes the moral argument and makes us look like an out of control shadow.

We could just wait until after we interrogate Arc.

>>3456239
>Redeem Nat.
That's a hard no.. At most we'd "fix" her (Which is not something i'd expect if a large group of clearly more skilled and knowledgeable practitioners of magic{If they've been around long enough to be changing through generations of magical girls, they have to have at least have more general knowledge stored up} couldn't do it) and then let her kill herself, but at least one person other than me was already suggesting a penance stare.
Mari lucked out because we wanted her alive to watch her suffer while Nat has no such "protection". She doesn't feel anything. At least Mari said she was sorry or implied it. Nat is 100% unrepentant, clearly understood the hypocrisy of Sachiko's methods while choosing to go along with them, and tried to kill our mother.
That being said, i at least figured out ONE decent reason to leave her alive. Studying her to be able to "fix" any squad formed from whatever project made her that we run into would have practical applications. It instantly bribes any victims of such a procedure and negates a need to fight them when we can just cure them.
Of course there's always the possibility/suspicion that they were never actually trying to cure Nat and were simply releasing her to kill something before the side of the organization that thinks it's not as corrupt as it is takes her back, but that's not an assumption we should be making when we can research/investigate a living specimen instead.

>>3456224
>You die, you get your soul shredded, you pop back out.
That explains why nobody wants to go down there. Its like australia but without the spiders.

>>3456229
But why do we care about whatever stuff the organization does? If it is because they kill teenagers, fair enough, but i'm pretty sure that okada does the same by proxy due to his factories, illegal connections and whatnot and the organization will discover sooner or later that its more useful to give your indoctrinated child soldiers a machinegun and train the younger generation of child soldiers instead of outright killing them when they run out of magical juice.

>It's not a question of blueballing Arc it's a question of if we can trust the organization period.
We have to trust Arc then. The alternative is to poke the hornet nest and we were warned that those actions will set their eyes on us. Now, i'm not saying that we shouldn't prepare ourselves, but looking for specific information about them and prodding left and right might set consequences that could have been easily avoided.

>Natalya is a junkie for hope energy and if she doesn't get it she may die.
No? She needs hope energy to feel, not to be alive.

>We gave Mari a second chance and she DID kill Junko.
She didn't. She wanted to retreat, but then sashiko hijaked her idea in order to murder us. Hell, Mari initially thought that we were just buying time instead of being left behind.

>If we send Natalya back she either breaks out again to go after us or dies without us getting her to atone for what she did to our friends.
Her breaking out might be a problem, but she is already living a rather pathetic life. Like i said before, we could offer her to become a shadow after she escapes, because right now our hands are mostly tied and we can't change her fate unless we want to anger Arc.

>>3456239
>Killing Natalya cedes the moral argument and makes us look like an out of control shadow.
Not really, she's a terrorist that has done god knows how many massacres and assassinations. Killing her would benefit everyone.

>>3456264
>suggesting a penance state
That's what I'm trying to create. We know that shadows we create have a weird devotion to Junko because of the dark queen thing. I'm trying to use that to force Natalya to atone for her actions.

I want her for that exact sort of study and I don't trust the organization. I think they were trying to use Nat as a weapon and she flew the coop.

>>3456267
We care what the Organization is doing because they might be directly opposed to any goals Junko might have or see her as a test subject to capture. Making them a potential threat. The dubious moral questions just help excuse us.

>Have to trust Arc...
We are in a catch-22 then. If we send Arc back we know the Organization can manipulate minds and Arc will compromise us. If we don't send her back they will come looking for answers. I would rather take a chance at hiding and getting whatever info we can to prepare than leaving us open to attack. If the Organization isn't entirely shit we can offer a meeting to hash out any potential differences before sending Arc back. (I think it's possible the organization is more incompetent than evil and Sachiko is trying to trick us but we need info from Arc before we can make a real choice.)

>>3456267
Arc is really susceptible to corruption, winded from the fight while we regenerate from corruption, and she's in Okada's mansion. I think she might understand that the diplomatic thing here would be to let Nat the fuck go if she doesn't have some sort of secret childhood friend attachment to a Natalya that no longer exists.
We even have reasonable grounds to think that she's part of an evil organization, Nat's programming casts suspicion on if her and Sachiko aren't just the latest way the organization lets loose evil magic experiments for field testing (Sachiko's methodology for attacking the organization was just a repeat of the old plan inflicted upon her while using active magical girls to fuel it along with some good old fashioned human sacrifice)
Arc has bigger fish to fry within the ranks of her own group.
We seriously need to get that ball before any secret patrons or third parties that were watching the clusterfuck come along to steal it.

>>3456303
Wrath is our major vice/sin. Nat has displayed absolutely nothing that even warrant us cooling down from that even for eating the last muffin in the house, let alone attempting to sadistically murder our friends and family. We aren't as edgy as when we started out,but we aren't Budda/Jesus/Mr.Rogers levels of forgiving.

>>3456313

I though Junko had moved past mindless wrath and was more into dishing out justice. It was what I though kept her from becoming a hypocrite or Sachiko. Things would be different if Natalya had succeed in killing Kanna or the moms but she failed at it

As everyone pointed out Natalya's life is already as shit as it can be. She was a homeless gajin in Japan who got kidnapped by a madman, turned into a monster who needs to kill to feel alive, got recurted into an organization that used her as a weapon, got her mind wiped multiple times, and was going to unceremoniously kill her when she served her purpose. Her only option was to run off and work in the underworld to survive, runs into Sachiko, who uses her as a weapon, and then she got captured and faces torture or going back to die or get her mind wiped again.

The best punishment is to find a way to force her to atone and give her a chance at choosing something better. Which means corruption.

>>3456307
>We seriously need to get that ball before any secret patrons or third parties that were watching the clusterfuck come along to steal it.

A fair point. I assume no one else was on the ground to see Sachiko stash it so we are the only ones that know about it for now. We need to take precautions just in case it's a trap too. That's one of the reasons I want a shadow Natalya along.

We might want to bring in Yuu for the lie detector again. Since we aren't planning on torturing Arc, just having a friendly chat, she might be less uncomfortable.

>>3456303
>We care what the Organization is doing because they might be directly opposed to any goals Junko might have or see her as a test subject to capture. Making them a potential threat. The dubious moral questions just help excuse us.
Active word here is MIGHT. We have no real proof and this hostile stance is jumping the gun just like how when I sometimes present something that we might think in character and it gets construed as a theory absolutely being right instead of the POV just looking that way.
Arc does not believe her organization is evil. We have a dawning suspicion that they are. Both are not incorrect assumptions to make from what they do know.
>>3456345
The average, completely normal human being is still not going to automatically forgive a person that just tried to murder their mother all of 24 hours ago. I can't even fathom how we'd be ok with sending the murderer back to the people that taught her to be a murderer in the first place and failed to keep her under control at least 5 previous times. Without the corruption we still have a predisposition to it. Even if you try to dress things up, with justice instead of wrath (and justice is considered by some to just be wrath/vengeance tempered by mercy) there still would be no reasonable argument to hand Natalya into the custody of a group that she personally considers worse than death and/or the loss of her soul. It's unethical to send her back to her old tormentors , we'd only do so to be vengeful but doing so is still stupid because it lets her escape for the billionth time.if sending her back isn't useless because she'd die either way.
Natalya might not have deserved her life, but she still needs to be put down like a mad dog.

Just adding on the more I re-read >>3456176 the more I don’t like how it came out. I was rushing to make lunch and it shows. I still want to question Arc about 3 years ago, what’s with arc’s transformation, how magical girls work, the organization and if there are more groups like it, if arc herself is being coerced and is in trouble from her own employers (she is the same age or order than Natalya). Depending on her answers we go from there.

>>3456435
>hostile stance.
I don't really want to be hostile to Arc or the organization if I can help it. I just want answers and to know if we are in danger. We have good reason to be suspicious IC. I don't want to do anything rash just ask questions.

>forgive Natalya.
I'm not saying we forgive her right off the bat and we are BFFs, I don't want to hand Natalya over either. I just see that there are mitigating circumstances for WHY Natalya chose to do what she did. From what we know corrupting Natalya is close enough to killing her but it gives her a chance to atone for all the terrible shit she did. She might lose her soul but in her current state she almost already has lost it. (that whole robotic thing). She is not a total lost cause like Sachiko that has to be put down. We can at least try to fix her before killing her. It is the most ethical thing to do.

>>3456303

>We care what the Organization is doing because they might be directly opposed to any goals Junko might have or see her as a test subject to capture. Making them a potential threat. The dubious moral questions just help excuse us.
Let sleeping dogs lie. The organization isn't aware of our existence and although there is a chance of them knowing our current location, we would have moved by the time they come knocking, if they ever come. Mind you, i'm not saying that we should wait for them to come, but to prepare ourselves.

>>3456345
>I though Junko had moved past mindless wrath and was more into dishing out justice.
We never ditched justice. Justice would have been to capture Sashiko and let her rot in prison for her crimes instead of stabbing her with the sword. What we do is vengeance; eye for an eye. Just look what happened to Rei, whom only crime was being sashiko's friend.

>>3456307
The thing is that if we kick Arc with no Natalya, Arc has no reason to not tattle on us. The agreement was that she leaves with natalya and she leaves us alone and keeps the organization blind. So far she has kept her word, so we should do the same.

>>3456435
>there still would be no reasonable argument to hand Natalya into the custody of a group that she personally considers worse than death and/or the loss of her soul.
Sounds fitting for her crimes. If she escapes yet again we could transform her into a shadow, but not now, specially after the things she has done to us.

>>3456554
>vengeance
Rei was helping Sachiko fuck with Yuu and we thought that the mind wipes were from Rei. That's why we wound up corrupting her in the end. We started fucking with her because she was involved with Junko's death. OOC we went after Rei first because she was Sachiko's friend.

Sachiko was too dangerous to leave alive. There was a very real chance of her escaping since she beat down Arc multiple times. Corrupting her might just make her stronger and she might have had the will power to override Junko's influence. (the death penalty sill exists in places for a reason. Some people are just too dangerous to society to leave alive. They will constantly infringe on the rights of others even when imprisoned. Thus, it is just to kill them to preserve society. Sachiko was this type of person--an ideologically motivated serial killer.)

>>3456554
I feel like eventually SOMETHING'S gotta give, though. Word is going to get out to the apparent other magical groups, and then what? (If anything.) I find it hard to believe that there's absolutely no way they have no clue about anything going on here.

...Then again there's a lot of incompetence to go around in these parts.

>>3456606
Heck Arc reported sentient shadows back to the Organization. Even though that OOC knowledge, Junko has a good reason to believe the organization already knows about her.

>>3456606
I'm not saying that we sit in our laurels, but that we shouldn't go after someone that currently has no interest on us.
>>3456610
Sentience is different from sapience. All animals(and shadows) are sentient. Only humans are sapient.

>>3456610
>>3456620
Right, I'm more saying that we just shouldn't assume they're flying blind. Satellite imagry alone should have them at least concerned, let alone other methods of data gathering.

>>3456620
Sentient vs sapience
True, but I think for the purposes of the narrative that distinction is splitting hairs (ESL author). Arc reported back a shadow talked to her and dropped her off at the hospital and it was a corrupted magical girl.

>>3456625
I concur.

>>3456606
There's lie detecting magic and they know Arc met us even if they don't know how "us" is. The cat is already out of the bag after an even halfway competent investigation via checking out who used to be a magical girl in the area.
>>3456554
>Sounds fitting for her crimes. If she escapes yet again we could transform her into a shadow, but not now, specially after the things she has done to us.
Only if we subscribe to an eye for an eye, and that also means we'd be doing this for all of her victims too while ignoring the people that purposely made her.

>The thing is that if we kick Arc with no Natalya, Arc has no reason to not tattle on us. The agreement was that she leaves with natalya and she leaves us alone and keeps the organization blind. So far she has kept her word, so we should do the same.
I end up reading a bunch of this at 2~ am so i probably miss details., but if we're seriously going to let her go despite the numerous reasons leaving natalyla anywhere near the organization even for a vindictive reason we are gonna need to magically shackle/handcuff Nat onto Arc so that she can't escape.or the organization can't continue experiments while also being able to tell if they decide offing Arc is easier than keeping her in the dark.
I guess that's even more reason for a theoretical ambassador position. Keep Natalya locked up where we can "see" her in a publicly known prison like at the military base with some shadow guards?
>>3456620
But we aren't arguing to go after them. We're arguing to let them know they need to back off and our position is that we will not tolerate horrific child murder cults in our presence. If that is threatening to them, Arc needs to rethink her affiliations. We can't know how not to step on the toes of any of these organizations just via existing outside of our town's border without at least knowing where they are and how to contact them (Assuming we can't cloak all of the girls and corruption around us constantly enough to travel without issue) or arrive at an agreeable truce or armistice when we want to see the Eiffel tower.

>>3456625
I'm assuming there must be somebody good at long range spying in existence.

>>3456629
yeah, i had forgotten that, but on the other hand, talking shadows shouldn't be that rare, given that we know 2 of them and killed 1 and the weird peaks and valleys "indicate" that the shadows are self regulating, anybody with a brain would try to leave the system as intact as possible just to see what's going on.

>>3456637
>Only if we subscribe to an eye for an eye, and that also means we'd be doing this for all of her victims too while ignoring the people that purposely made her.
Natalya decided to bomb the plane, help sashiko and try to murder Yuu and kanna, not her makers.

>We're arguing to let them know they need to back off and our position is that we will not tolerate horrific child murder cults in our presence.
but why? we're antagonizing something that can push our shit in a matter of days. These people have been in business for at least 5 years, and we have been a gestalt for 3 months at most. We might have okada's endless resources at hand, but those can be very easily tracked because he is a public figure and more importantly, we are less that 10 people. The moment we throw a hissy fit at them and they set our eyes on us, is the moment they see that we are "dead", they will investigate us directly and find out that we are a VERY valuable asset.

>>3456684
Her makers couldn't be arsed to keep her contained properly no less than 5 times after the project was shut down unless they were mindwiping her so that they could farm fresh despair

>>3456684
See >>3455656
Our rate of growth is extremely fast and Arc went from the juggernaut to the jobbernaught within a matter of days, the numbers game is actually a disadvantage for them because they start up a perpetual motion engine of us and Marie absorbing powers without being slowed down via trying to be "discreet" like Sachiko.
We might be weak for a shadow but also have human intelligence.
As a whole, the entire zone is probably attractive to all sorts of unscrupulous people. Multiple sapient shadows, magical girl-Shadow hybrids,Mako's entire existence, and who knows what else was lurking in the area thanks to all of the mayhem Sachiko caused.
A foot needs to be put down before we have to do pest extermination and we get considered a valuable specimen for research instead of the local warlord.

It's too late to hide our existence since as I pointed out, the organization KNOWS there was a sapient hybrid, they have lie detector magic, and it isn't a guarantee that Arc is going back home without details being erased from her head or rummaged through.The incoming backup is probably also going to be doing investigations, is bound to run into any one of us and cause an incident if HQ doesn't get informed we aren't aggressively hostile to human life if they don't do something stupid like attacking us. Arc's gonna have to report at least 100 dead MGs as a result of Sachiko too.

All we can do now is set the tone. If we try to hide they might mistake us for a soft target which sets up a narrative of us as the dark/evil queen. Then 4 heroes gather together to defeat the Demon Lor-Queen.

If we say no to child murder cults they might at least think we can be reasoned with as a sapient being (and arc gets her ambassador job.)

If we go overly hostile like you think we're doing then they have to convince a bunch of children to go to war over a mess their own organization made while their own top agent advises we aren't hostile if you aren't evil.
The only bad move here is not expressing our disgust for the situation or warning them.Teenagers can be stupid. But when one group says "Don't be evil" after your group is the one that caused major terrorism events and murder sprees, and you get told to attack them in response to their request to not be evil, it is absolutely the most appropriate time for teenage rebellion against authority.

>>3456747
Honestly, if we grow too fast I can see them being extremely concerned over us and maybe decide that preliminary action would be better than risking it.. We would need to tamp down the rates of expansion and acceptance into the ranks.

>>3456016
re-writing my vote >>3456176
as I wasn't happy with how it turned out.

>Call down Yuu for her lie detector. Have her bring down some pillows and a drink for Arc.
>"Relax Arc, the chains were Marie's idea. I just want to talk. That's all. I don't buy that your employers don't already know about me or can't fill in the blanks with their capabilities. I don't want to be hunted. I don't want my friends hurt."
>"Furthermore, I obviously can't trust the sources, but I've heard some very damning things about your employer within the last few hours. Constant memory wipes, child sacrifice, Yakuza connections, more child sacrifice, and just all around nastiness that I am very much against. I don't have any information to dispute this. What I found from Natalya seemed to ...corroborate it.”
>"Arc what really happened three years ago? The same source reported some troubling things about how the magical girl system worked. That hope energy and corruption were the same thing and about how you "make" magical girls. You seem a lot like me and I think Natalya is a failed prototype of a magical girl/shadow hybrid. Is this the case? Are there still experiments like these?"
>"You were with Sachiko and Natalya after the old group saved you. What happened? Why did Sachiko kill the other girls? Why did she and Natalya break off and go after the Organization? Why didn't your employer get involved sooner? Why was Sachiko after you in particular?"
>"What about the other groups?"
>"Arc if this is true and you are in trouble from your own employers, I'm willing to help. I like helping people; I hate seeing people mistreated."
>"Arc if your people are good. I want to meet with them and set some ground rules. I want them to know I'm not a threat if you don't give me a reason to be one. I want to do things my own way. I'm not going to bow down and be a puppet agent but I'm willing to help if the cause is good or better than the alternative."

>Corrupting Natalya
>"Arc, Sachiko's dead. I couldn't give some like her a chance to keep hurting others. She was just too dangerous. I want Natalya to pay for what she's done, personally. I don't want to give Natalya another chance to run away either and I don't like what your people did to her. She's not Sachiko. Natalya has issues. You were friends once. She wasn't always like this. I can see why she did some of the horrible things she did. I don't know why your employers never tried fixing her. I want to at least try to see if I can fix her emotions. My corruption has strange effects on girls. I might be able to make her atone for the crimes she has committed; maybe give her a second chance at life. It's a better plan than death or brainwashing.

>>3456788
Yeah, Kind of a lose-lose here, which is also why I figure the choice that lets us defend ourselves better sucks less. If Sachiko seriously left some mega-hope stashed away then our unique physiology got a counterbalance strong enough for Junko de la Noche form to be tapped into without risk. The organizations amass their armies, await stories of the carnage unfolding, and get new reports about us playing with kittens instead of rampaging shadows..

Raye's anti-mind control spell also sounds extremely useful but she hasn't invented it yet in the timeline.

>>3456747
>Her makers couldn't be arsed to keep her contained properly no less than 5 times
Or someone else freed her, or she is that good (which is damn scary). We just don't know and to be honest, neither Nat's or sashiko's word are to be believed.

>Arc went from the juggernaut to the jobbernaught within a matter of days,
Then she returned to be a juggernaut.
>A foot needs to be put down before we have to do pest extermination and we get considered a valuable specimen for research instead of the local warlord.
Or we just change cities. The mansion is completely compromised and we already know Sakura's concealment trick, so this is the perfect moment to move somewhere else where we can resume our "normal" lives. After these events, I don't think that the girls would like to see action for some decent time.

>If we say no to child murder cults
We shouldn't assume that sashiko was telling the truth. Child death cults can easily sway people and chances are that they aren't doing that because its unprofitable to just kill someone you trained for their entire life and only knows your organization.

>But when one group says "Don't be evil" after your group is the one that caused major terrorism events and murder sprees...
that was a rogue agent also keep in mind who is telling them that they are evil: a shadow that everyone calls the queen of darkness. That can easily be turned against us by steeling the girls convictions that whatever they are doing is the right thing to do. Its like Kim Jong-un telling the world that we should be ashamed by climate change.
>If we go overly hostile like you think we're doing then they have to convince a bunch of children to go to war over a mess their own organization made while their own top agent advises we aren't hostile if you aren't evil.
They don't need that. Just like with sashiko, they just need several well trained girls with rocket launchers and assorted explosives.

>>3456803
Its just for the best that we move away. The organization loses track of us, we lose track of them and we can live on some place that isn't as fucked as this one.

Woah! It's like they said....

Magical Girls are serious business.

>>3456827
I'd have to veto the move idea. They could quickly intercede and try to revert anything we've done, if the individuals in question don't follow us.

>>3456926
>revert anything we've done
revert what, exactly? we haven't done anything that they could revert.
>if the individuals in question don't follow us.
The organization doesn't know about us yet. Even if arc told them about a sapient shadow, this is the best moment to move out.

>>3456827
>Or someone else freed her, or she is that good (which is damn scary). We just don't know and to be honest, neither Nat's or sashiko's word are to be believed.
Which makes even more reason to not trust the organization with her nor at least bring the accusations to light to Arc. At least then she can propose a middle ground of being a proper guardian/ambassador to the city or even try to do something about it.
>Or we just change cities. The mansion is completely compromised and we already know Sakura's concealment trick, so this is the perfect moment to move somewhere else where we can resume our "normal" lives. After these events, I don't think that the girls would like to see action for some decent time.
We already have epilogues written out you may have missed. We went right back to the same school as a delinquent.
If magical girls have an expiration date it also leaves the city defenseless as the organization didn't really care much about maintaining the "natural" MG/corruption balance until way past due and hundreds of bodies were littered everywhere. Okada, Marie, and anyone that gained some semblance of fame (including our ow mother) are unable to just simply hide due to them being public figures.
We aren't about to just randomly ditch them when we're kinda the powerbase protecting them.

>We shouldn't assume that sashiko was telling the truth. Child death cults can easily sway people and chances are that they aren't doing that because its unprofitable to just kill someone you trained for their entire life and only knows your organization.
We don't NEED to beleive them. We just need to consider that there was a warning. We have Natayla right there to "cooperate/corroborate",the recent non-Sachiko/Natayla revelations. A vehement anti child murder stance is not an attack unless they make it one. If there is nothing like that going on then it means nothing to them other than the shame that the dark past of their predecessors continues to live in the memory of others.
>Its like Kim Jong-un telling the world that we should be ashamed by climate change.
I'm pretty sure he actually did that about the US and was taken more seriously than usual since You know who dropped out of the Paris accords.
>They don't need that. Just like with sashiko, they just need several well trained girls with rocket launchers and assorted explosives.
Arc is their most well trained girl. We regenerate. Sachiko does not. I'm not saying we wouldn't eventually die, but it would require enough ordinance to not be feasible without some unethical levels of Dakka that could kill other people and feed a corruption spike because publicly, that's just a terrorist attack.
>>3456902
Did we end up absorbing something overpowered from Sachiko when we killed her? It didn't occur to me until just now.
>>3456933
Tracking spells exist.

I don't think we've made writing easy for QM with all the posts going back.

>>3456926
I agree. We already started to interrogate Arc and we killed Sachiko.iI's a little late to just run away with our tail between our legs.

>>3456937
>Did we end up absorbing...
I don't think so. There is the "hope essence" in the video but we don't know if that's a trap or not. We could ask Natalya about it with Yuu present but then we tip Arc off to it's existence.

To make my stance abundantly clear I want to question Arc to see what she knows and figure out what to do with her and the organization from there. I don't intend to hand Natalya over. I intend to corrupt Natalya instead. We may need to ask Natalya questions to corroborate Arc's statements so we wait till after question Arc.

>>3456937
The body was still at the mansion after the kill. You can do whatever you want to do with it. It's just that no one wants to poke that corpse with a 10 foot radius.

>>3456967
Interesting. We could try stuff with the body but that could be VERY risky. I'm not proposing it, just throwing it out there.

>>3456937
>We already have epilogues written out you may have missed. We went right back to the same school as a delinquent.
For the purposes of these thought exercises i'm not counting them as canon. it just messes up too many things.
>We just need to consider that there was a warning.
Fair enough.
>A vehement anti child murder stance is not an attack unless they make it one.
But we are revealing ourselves, which tells them that we exist and leads to us being investigated. Unless your point is that we only tell arc that we are against child soldiers
>that's just a terrorist attack.
Unless you call is a counter terrorist/COIN operation. then the girls and your group are damn heroes.

>Tracking spells exist.
We can remove them.

>>3456980
That is just what other students looks at you. You are a gentle one to be honest. You also subjugate any delinquents to change your ways into a better person. Maybe I didn't elaborated on this further or i didn't play with words enough to make it something that Junko turns every delinquent in the area into a new leaf.

>>3456980
>Unless your point is that we only tell arc that we are against child soldiers
Anon, YES, that is what a few of us have been trying to point out. We don't have a problem with Arc. We just want to find out what the hell just happened. THEN we can make an informed decision on what to do. Arc doesn't have her phone so she isn't reporting everything back to the organization YET.


>Arc to see what she knows and figure out what to do with her and the organization from there. I don't intend to hand Natalya over. I intend to corrupt Natalya instead. We may need to ask Natalya questions to corroborate Arc's statements so we wait till after question Arc.

that is the jist of what I am going for just to try to make this easier for QM to write.

>>3456995
Oh. In my defense, it was never said that you wanted to tell this to arc. Or i outright missed the text.

>that is the jist of what I am going for just to try to make this easier for QM to write.
In that case it would be better to write "i can't hand natalya over" instead of "i don't intend to". The former implies that something is holding us back and the later makes it seem like betrayal.

>>3457299
>"i can't hand natalya over”
Yeah what I mean is phrased better like that.

I don’t want to screw over Arc, personally. Her employers have mishandled Natalya multiple times and should have devoted more resources to solving her underlying condition than brainwashing her. They may not have the resources to try to fix Natalya and Junko might.

>>3457354
>They may not have the resources to try to fix Natalya and Junko might.
I heavily doubt that. Also, you are seeing this situation from a very rational point of view. Just how the other anon said, from Junko's POV, Natalya tried to kill her mom 2 or 3 days ago. No one is able to forgive something like that in such a small period of time.

>>3457372
For the first part everything is speculation until we ask Arc about what is going on.

>rational
I really don’t know what to say. I’ve already said this over and over again. We beat the shit out of Natalya and tortured her in the last thread. She just turned into a robot. I don’t want to be BFFs with Natalya. I want to find an effective way to punish her and render her non-threatening to Junko and Co. we know the organization has failed at that in the past. So that rules them out.

Acting irrationally makes us look like a giant threat to Arc and blows any chance of having her cooperate with us. It’s not how Junko has acted an the past. So I don’t want to kill Natalya without seeing if there is a more “better” option. Natalya is so dangerous because she must kill to feel and hope energy is basically a drug to her. If we can solve that underlying problem Natalya has no reason to threaten anyone anymore. The shadow girls we created have been very loyal to us. Natalya is already broken from last thread so get her to promise to atone wouldn’t be hard. So that’s why I want to corrupt Natalya. If she fucks up again then we start planning to off her.

Since we have clearly reached an impasse where we wildly disagree with the other's logic, How about we just dive into Natalya's mind with Arc to investigate?

>>3457593
Sure, I think that's a great idea.

I was going to suggest diving into Natalya's mind with Arc after questioning Arc anyway. It's a win-win for Junko and Arc.

>>3457593
I know there is an impasse somewhere but I honestly lost track of what everyone was arguing about yesterday afternoon. Things got off on tangents.

That's the other reason I was trying to get people to give a short synopsis of what they wanted to do.As far as I know only you and I have voted and it can't be easy for QM to make heads or tails of this mess.

Sorry if I can't update today. Was gonna do some trimester reports. Would take all day because it's department wide affair. Will update the organization interrogation with Arc.

>>3458865
i wouldn't consider it an interrogation. just a normal chat between three persons.

>>3459250
Well Arc is chained up in the basement, she didn't want to reveal any of this stuff when we asked her earlier, and we might want Yuu to monitor her for lies, so as much as we want to dress it up, it is an interrogation. We are keeping it friendlier and leaving the pain train out of things.

>>3458865
Sorry for basically forcing you to make an extra chapter since we couldn't agree on something.

Think of it as us needing assurances since things were getting suspicious near the end.
We might not be able to trust a single word sachiko says, but Natalya was setting off alarm bells with what little of her background got revealed. The additional allegations from Sachiko mean there's no point in Arc stopping us from killing her when the organization thinks it's about time to off her anyway. It would therefore be in Arc's personal interest to check out said allegations with us rather than ignore the possibility that the project isn't as dead as she thought it was.
As things are right now, the two leading theories from our POV would be that the organization is letting em out on purpose to repeat the experiments, or that the organization is so incompetent that we can't trust them with Natalya.

>>3459314
Super lazy at ungodly o clock right now so I'm not scrolling up to check.
I wonder if all of these multiple personalities can have their own "body" while dived into a mind. Eg us and Sakura, Mari and Mary,Yuuki and whatever is going on with her since I always feel like I missed a post or didn't notice wtf was going on with her.

>>3459319
Yeah when we were in Natalya’s mind earlier Sakura had a separate “body” from us. If we mind dive we might want to ask Yuuki to come along too. Natalya and her were friendly in the past too.

>>3459263
We should move her to a spare bedroom while she's still knocked out. Its a very bad idea to be a dick against the only person that is friendly and is trying to protect us against the organization.

>>3456176
“Look Arc, you’ve help me a lot today. You seem nice and I really don’t want to hurt or scare you. You haven’t been entirely honest or forthcoming with me. I couldn’t let you walk off with a threat like Sachiko or Natalya. They are too strong willed for brainwashing not to mention how horrible it would be to replicate their condition in other girls. I’m going to corrupt Natalya. Look I know you were friends but she is too unstable like she is. I think she is a failed attempt at a sentient shadow/magical girl hybrid like us. I think I can fix her condition via corruption. She will have time to atone for her crimes that way. I do feel sorry for her. She tried to kill people close to me but she failed at it. Any malice was motivated by her underlying condition and Sachiko’s manipulation. Plus, I heard she is dying. I can understand that as a motivation. I’m going to try to give her a second chance at a normal life and better friends that won’t exploit her as a tool.”

"Dead? What do you mean?"

"They're going to make her out of commission. Apparently, when a magical girl die, they would drop a hope essence. I have the location she mentioned in a certain recording I obtained. And they are going to do with the same with her."

>"Marie, call Raye and Mako. We gonna welcome another member of the family."

”As for you, Arc, what really happened three years ago? You, Natalya, and Sachiko were all together. The group had “saved” you without explicit knowledge of your employer. Then Sachiko kills everyone besides you and Natalya. Natalya runs off from your employer and Sachiko and her want to wipe them out. Your people leave this situation and this whole city smoldering like a trash fire for years and only now decide to act. What gives?”

"Fine.....Let's just say, there is a rift between the organization. Which is which? I can't tell. One of their former scientist has all the notes and plans for my employers. I don't know what they will do with them."

"What are you and how did you become like this? You seem to be a lot like me."

"Isn't it ironic? Maybe Sakura have found some notes on Sachiko's father and replicate it for herself. Isn't that right Sakura?"

...............

”What is your employers’ role in all of this? I obviously can't trust the sources, but I've heard some very damning things about your employer within the last few hours. Constant memory wipes, child sacrifice, Yakuza connections, more child sacrifice, and just all around nastiness that I am very much against.”

"I don't really know. I'm just accepting orders you know."

”What about the other groups? Okada was looking out for other magic users. Who are they really?”

"Rivals......"

"There is more than one?"

"Yes, although some of are branch of ours, some of them are different agency or organization. This whole world? Is just their arena. All for whatever they want to aim for."

(1/2)

>>3460850
”Arc is your employer threatening you like Natlaya. I became a magical girl on accident but I like helping people. I would help you too if it wasn’t apparent from my past actions. It’s clear you were sent into a fucked up situation without much help and you would be dead if it wasn’t for my help. I don’t like seeing people be mistreated by anyone.”

"As much as I want to.....I need to go home."

We can plant her as our agent Junko......she is already corrupted, all we need is to plant a seed

>"What seed?"

Marie, Mako and Raye enters the room and in your back.

Perfect, Mako is here. We gonna need some thing out of her. Just reach our for her and we'll craft our own information device to plant in Arc's brain. And if she spills, her brain will explode. Isn't it fun?

>Arc, we will corrupt Natalya and we will let you go. But know this, we know every move you are going to make (make her aware of the bug that you will plant.)
>Arc, we will corrupt Natalya and we will let you go. (Don't make her aware of the bug that you will plant.)
>Arc, we will corrupt Natalya. But if you speak anything about us. You will be dead. (Don't make her aware but threaten her.)
>Write-in

>>3460865
>Mental link to Sakura: It's a last resort. If everything else fails. I'll think about it. Is what Arc said true. Did you find those notes. I...I thought you were being honest with me. I have an idea though. We might need Natalya unless I can do it. I have access to infinite corruption, even if I can only harvest an eight as hope energy that's still infinite hope. Natalya did the refining for Sachiko. We need to figure out how to keep those memories in tact.

>"Arc, do you realize what this means. If my information is true...look Arc your close to Natalya's age, maybe older, right? Arc they're going to kill you soon. You have to trust me. I figured out Sachiko was working with someone else from interrogating Natalya. She was held back from talking about your organization but could only tell half-truths when talking about Sachiko's capabilities. He must be close by. That could buy you more time here, right? Just please don't send people after me. I want to help you. You're nice, right? You're not using me like Sachiko? Damnit Arc, tell me."

>text for Yuu to come down. "Arc you want anything like a drink or some food." I'm sorry I had to do this, but a girl I use to call my friend murdered me, then tried to kill everyone in my life, and now after what I heard, I don't know what or who I can believe anymore. I hoped all this was fake and I could trust your employer, but now...(sigh)

>Arc I will ask again really happened three years ago? The same source reported some troubling things about how the magical girl system worked. That hope energy and corruption were the same thing and about how you "make" magical girls by killing other girls. You seem a lot like me and I think Natalya is a failed prototype of a magical girl/shadow hybrid. Is this the case? Are there still experiments like these? If you know anything, please tell me Arc. I have some ideas Arc but I need to know what you and Natalya are. It's really important."

>"You were with Sachiko and Natalya after the old group saved you. What happened? Why did Sachiko kill the other girls? Why did she and Natalya break off and go after the Organization? Why didn't your employer get involved sooner? Why was Sachiko after you in particular? I know this is personal but I need to know if the source is lying."

>"Arc, if this all this is true I have a way to help you, but your employers will want me and I need Natalya.

>>3460865

cut off the last part of the last line of>>3460934 when I copy pasted the text

Arc, I died once. I don't want to die again. We all almost died today and a girl I use to call my friend just did. Now you're telling me you are just going to walk off to certain death and.... if they know about all this, they might kill me too. Arc, no one else has to die here, today. Please work with me. I want to do better for all magical girls. Please, Please don't make me do something rash."

>>3460865
>Sakura, calm down, you sound like you're starting to relapse.
>Arc, I think they had help. What happened to you was some giant project, but some little girl replicates it all on her own for years without any resources and never truly being stopped? That's bullshit. Somebody wanted her to finish what she was doing. We both need to sort out what's going on and you aren't much younger than she is. If what I was told is somehow actually true, then you don't have much longer before it's your turn either. I think we need to go into Natalya's mind/memories and sort this out.; You up for it?

>>3460981
I'll second the mind dive. I just wanted to re-ask the questions that Arc didn't really answer and see if she was willing to play ball at all, first.

>>3461068
>"Sakura, calm down, you sound like you're starting to relapse."

Woops, sorry about that. I just want this to end you know? But I agree with you. We need allies inside if we're going to survive.

"It's a last resort. If everything else fails. I'll think about it. Is what Arc said true. Did you find those notes. I...I thought you were being honest with me."

I thought it wasn't important.

"I don't really know. I don't go below whatever they do. I'm more like a field agent than a complex scientist one."

Why didn't your employer get involved sooner? Why was Sachiko after you in particular? I know this is personal but I need to know if the source is lying."

>>3461165
"..........Fine. I'll listen to what you going to say.

.....................


Natalya

After Arc consent, Natalya became a corrupted minion for Junko. As Junko tradition of naming sense similar to their names, she called her Natalia. Yuu snickers a bit but Natalia likes it. She was then asked questions how she refined a bunch of corrupted cores into a hope essence which she happily demonstrates.

Mako and Natalya manage to farm 2 fully functional hope essence working for 2 hours every 3 months.

.............................

Agent Arc

After the interrogation between her and Junko, she agrees on every demands they're going to say. Despite all of these to prevent any kind of leak. Sakura planted a bug inside Arc's core. The information of whatever she may think, speak and thoughts are relayed to Sakura/Junko filtering anything that would pertains to the happenings of the city. She then left the city without incident. In the coming weeks, nothing major seems to occur in the city, and she returns to relay her reports, omitting a great deal about Junko and company. Even then, she gets the feeling that the organization suspects something and is watching the city's happenings very closely.

They may get someone to look into things, one day...

>I don't have a memory of it
Shit that was the answer I was worried of. It's shame we never did those mind dives
Although QM probably wants to wrap this up I guess it's something for the sequel maybe someday

>>3461174

>Yuuki and Sakura in Junko's room.

"Hey Sakura?"

"Yeah?"

"Call Marie here."

"Alright?"

>"Marie? Come to my room."

Immediately the door opens and Marie which has a lot of dresses in hand openly drooling at you.

"DID YOU CALL JUNKO? DID YOUR INNER MODEL BURNS INSIDE YOU? WE MU-"

Yuuki punched Marie in the face throwing her out of the door and bounced on the wall.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP RIKA! I KNOW YOU ARE THERE. YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOU HAVE TO PICK A RICH GIRL SO YOU CAN BUY ALL THOSE EXPENSIVE DRESSES!!"

"What? Who's Rika?"

"Oh? Pretending you don't know?"

Yuuki then brandish out a trophy. A faded one.

"I wonder if i'm gonna drop this first trophy you got at archery tournament. I mean it is special to you."

Marie visibly sweats, clearly torn to lie and to be ignorant.

"I-I'm not Rika I swear."

"Too bad."

Yuuki coated the trophy in ice and smash it with her feet. A tear in Marie eyes shed down through her cheek.

"Now what about this bow. I mean this is your favorite bow right?"

"Wha- where did you get that?"

"Oh? Are you Rika? I mean you are Marie right?"

"No, please don't break it. I'll do anything."

"Anything?"

"Yes anything."

"Then.....ughk!"

You headchop Yuuki head and took the bow. You then toss it to Marie/Rika who cuddles her own bow.

"Now that we're here what are your plans?"

"I'll probably disappear."

"......."
"......."

"You see, this girl......wants to go home. But when we gone to her home, she didn't remember her and even her friends. I feel like I extinguished her existence. That is why I have full total control of this body instead of what you did. Her soul......is nearing it's end.

Then we must inject you with corruption stat!.

No need. It will be depleted immediately. This is why I want to see you two one last time. Even if we're apart, we still find a way to meet with each other. Also, I was only alive for the sole purpose of revenge. With nothing to supplement my main motivation, I will fade away. So I give you this.

>>3461206
She summons her dual guns and gives it to Sakura and Rika.

"I put a little of what's left in me inside this weapon. And it will not disappear. It only needs a little bit of power to fire a bullet of ice. Girls......thank you for the joy you gave to me when we are friends. We might not have been in best of terms last time but. I'm glad that we are still friends despite of that."

Yuuki starts to fade, her body became transparent. Sakura and Rika tries to hug her but they can't touch her anymore.

Girls.......please, remember our friendship.........

With a blinding light, she disappears. Both Sakura and Rika cry as the only thing left from Yuuki is a gun and their memories with her.

"SHE IS A JERK SAKURA!! A JERK! HOW DARE SHE DISAPPEARS LIKE THAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!"

"Shhhhh.......I know, I know."

"W-why can't we be together like those days back then"

"Don't worry Rika, we will find a way, alright?"

Rika sobs through your shirt throughout the night. But you know your friendship will never break. Until the end of time.

Alright guys, the end thanks for reading and thank you everyone. Now I must return to real world.

>>3461208
Thanks for the all the runs QM and good luck with all the real life stuff.

I've already said it but I'll key my eyes open for a sequel maybe or that other idea you dropped in the general thread.

>>3461208

Welp priorities for maybe sequel.

Save Yuuki, Nei, and Rei's souls.
Figure out what Sachiko did from Natalya's or Arc's memories.

>>3461223
Investigate the hidden hope essence from Sachiko. Although it's probably her soul.

>>3461214
>>3461223
>>3461225

Sure, you can look forward to it in the future.

>>3461230
Thanks man. It's been fun. I'm looking forward to getting back to my normal early sleep schedule for awhile. I've gotten back into running and I need sleep. Plus, I was worried us anons would wind up dragging this thread out past Friday evening. I wound up getting roped into signing up for one too many MTG pre-releases. Well at least I only spent store credit. I can get that bad if I don't play terribly. Anyway, off to bed. It's also been a pleasure playing with all of the anons, as much as we would endlessly debate the minutia of magical girls--magical girls are SRS BZNS

I just read all of it and I would say congratulations for finishing your quest. You're already better than 85% of the QM who are doing quest and then drop it or disappear. Also am I the only one who is hoping for a Magical Noir Investigation Quest or something noir because this city is dark, the people are assholes, police are shit and corporation (Okada) is visibly holds the whole town. It would be a newly minted magical girl group who got transferred to the city and uncovers the deeply rooted secret of this city.

Anyway good job man.

This might be the first quest I've been in that made it to the end. Thanks QM.
Sorry about spontaneously falling asleep at sane hours of the night near the end.
I personally would have kept ourselves more edgy but I can't really complain about getting outvoted (or being asleep when it happens) on that front. Variety is the spice of life and if everyone always agreed with me it would be way less fun than to see what crazy shit you guys can cook up.

Is there some way I can look out for a notification that the sequel started?

"Ako, Chika, please don't run in the hallway!"

Mako chases her sisters to behave which is failing in her part. The younger sisters visit their big sister because she hasn't come home these past few days. Although they understand that she would work so they can go to a good school, they still miss their big sister.

"Ahahahaha, this mansion is so big!"

"I know right Ako-nee....."

"Wait.....please......"

Mako pants exhausted from running. Her little sisters are really a bundle of inexhaustible energy. Mako decided to take it easy to catch her breath and look for them later on. At least, they are having fun in the mansion.

...............

"Come here Ako-nee."

"W-wait Chika....."

The two of them go deeper and deeper to the basement where wonderful cars was displayed. and then another flight of stairs below.

"Chika please stop......whoa......"

Inside the room are full white orbs floating around the floor. Chika tries to scoop it and toss it in the air. Afraid that it breaks but it slowly falling down like a feather.

"Ako-nee this room is so cool."

"Come on now, let's not stay here. Mako-nee will be mad at us."

"Awwwww alright."

As you walk, you see a sign on one of the pillars.

>DO NOT EAT, OR YOU WILL DIE
>Marie

You see a cutely drawn cursive writing and a winking drawing face complete with hearts and sparkles. Calling Chika, she just disappeared on your side.

"Chika? Where are you? Chi- NO WAIT DON'T EAT THAT."

It's too late. She starts to......belch?

"Ako-nee.......I don't feel so good."

Oh dear, this is one of a hell to explain to Mako-nee about this.

Thought the thread was over but just saw the update from a couple of days ago. Hope real life reports are going well for you QM.

>>3482599
It's fine. Already done. Work is winding down and I'll probably run a one shot quest in the meantime. Gonna do it this Sunday. You can look for details on my Twitter
