You wave the carefully-folded, carefully-illuminated parchment at Kyoko's direction.What the hell is this? Some fancy-pants Officio from overseas trying to steal your aide AND best friend? No, no, and no. This shit does not fly in your Officio. Just because they went all-out with the presentation and the language does not mean you'll be saying yes to this kind of bullshit. So, no, the uppity bastards can just forget it.Kyoko seems stunned for a second, before managing a rather bashful grin. Somehow, you have the feeling that she'll remember you saying no without asking for her opinion first.
>>29724134"W-well, ya know, Murderface, they're not just THE fancy-pants Officio, they are kind of the most hardcore? I mean, uh, it's their Black Templar division, right?" She stands up from the couch and takes the letter from you, pointing to the severe-looking heraldic cross emblem at the end of the letter. "You get to be a Knight and everything! A title, your own suit of armor, and a horse! A-and the Queen has to be there to whap you on the face with Excalibur, so it's all official! Plus, all the haggis I can eat!"You look at Kyoko, and you could see that there's stars shining in her eyes as she's talking about it. Like how a kid gets when he's gushing about being an astronaut, or a firefighter, or one of those idiots in spandex on TV doing silly poses and advertising toys.Well, all that does sound cool, you agree grudgingly, but...it's Britain! Or Great Britain, or United Kingdom, or whatever the hell they call it now. That's pretty fucking far away, far away from everything! What about...what about the Ninth? What about Sayaka? And what the fuck is haggis?"I...I dunno?" Kyoko seems just as puzzled as you. "But I heard it's really tasty, and very posh! Only rich people eat it, with the pinky out and everything!"Hnn. Something tells you that Kyoko's not telling you the whole story, here.[]Is everything okay with you and Sayaka that I should know about? Domestic violence?[]Don't you like it here?[]I said no. You're not going. Warmaster's word is final, plus infinity.
>>29724141As cute as the plus infinity option sounds[X] is everything okay
>>29724141>[X]Is everything okay with you and Sayaka that I should know about? Domestic violence?I will kill you, Sayaka.
>>29724141[x]Don't you like it here?
>>29724141>"Alright, you've had your fun watching my reaction, now spill: What's this about?"
>>29724141Realise, from one of the thousands of timelines, that once mitakihara was scottish and the existence of haggis has managed to stick through every amnesia attack and worms into your voice box before telling kyoko just what haggis isShits nasty, yo
>>29724141>[]Is everything okay with you and Sayaka that I should know about? Domestic violence?
HURRAY!!! Office lady quest!!>>29724141>[x]Don't you like it here?
[X]Don't you like it here?Remind her that haggis loses to pancakes!
>>29724174haggis loses to six-hour old faeces mixed with vomited rabbit carcass
>>29724141Plus infinity. They can have you over my dead body.
>>29724141[x] is everything okay?
>>29724141>[X]I said no. You're not going. Warmaster's word is final, plus infinity."If you want haggis then I'll have Kubs sent you a box full of them at the end of each month, no need to go to Britain for them."

>>29724141>Haggis>GoodWhat kind of pleb taste is this Kyoko?
>>29724141>[X]Is everything okay with you and Sayaka that I should know about? Domestic violence?
>>29724214They're tempting her with food and she's trusting enough to fall for it.
>>29724141>[X]I said no. You're not going. Warmaster's word is final, plus infinity.Muh Kyoko!
>>29724198"Matsuda, it hardly seems appropriate to send Sakura a crate of minced sheep organs"
>>29724141[x]Is everything okay with you and Sayaka that I should know about? Domestic violence?Bitch?
Is asking something personal like that about her relationship really appropriate?
>>29724141[X] don't you like it here?
>>29724225Don't forget the sword, and the horse, and being a Knight.
>>29724141Voting period is over. Thank you for participating! >>29724243Chiaki's done worse before!

Oh boyHomu x Kyouko
The most exciting time of the week has finally arrived
>>29724337>>29724345since I have an excuse to post this here it is
>>29724337>>29724345
>>29724345>field namestill have to see that movie
This quest is totally worth being nocturnal for.
>>29724458but what about all the quests that happen in the morning?
>>29724458very true anon
>>29724466MGNQ > All
>>29724466They normally start around 5 am for me. This one started at 7, which is still before I'd normally be up.
>>29724466Just do what I do, only sleep 3 hoursa day.
>>29724513Oh don't worry, I'm a math major.
>>29724141>[X]I said no. You're not going. Warmaster's word is final, plus infinity."Of course, as soon as I'm not the Warmaster anymore...Just give me ten minutes warning so I can grab my stuff, OK.Oh, who am I kidding, I don't have any stuff."
All these kyouhomu pics...my brain cant handle the fluff
>>29724541>Oh, who am I kidding, I don't have any stuff."We can smuggle Midori on the plane
>>29724543then have some more
>>29724141>what the fuck is haggistraditionally, the Heart, Lungs and Liver of a sheep boiled in it's own stomach.Bein Japanese and a gourmad, kyoko's probably eaten weider delicacies.
>>29724457This pic is almost MGNQ canon, except it was night and Murderface was on fire at the time.
AI, YO
Umm... Decu seems to be having some severe connection issues. The next update might take longer than anticipated. Thank you for waiting warmly, please bump the thread if it gets too low. Thank you for your patience.
>>29724679
>>29724697Oh...sad
>>29724697That's no good!
>>29724697ok dood!
>>29724697Sometimes I imagine that decu makes all his posts from the middle of some jungle war zone. It's the only way I can explain all of his connection issues.Every time he says it's due to rain, I just assume it's because he's having to relocate amidst a hail of gunfire.
>>29724697I'm OK with this. This thread kinda caught me on the hop anyway.
>>29724765..You are new to MGNQ, huh?
>>29724765that's not it anoneverybody knows that Decu lives on the moon and is under constant atack by moon rabbits
>>29724720"Sayaka, Sayaka~ We're Hungry~""Eh? K-kyoko, why are there three of you?""Sayaka~ Foooood~!""A-alright, just let me- ah hey, what are you doing?""Itadakimasu!"(x3)"W-wait! ... Ahn~"
>>29724765>Sometimes I imagine that decu makes all his posts from the middle of some moon war zone.Ftfy
>>29724800Yes and no. I've done the whole archive binge, but this is only the second thread I've made it to. Time zones do not help.>> 29724800How could I forget those blasted moon rabbits.
>>29724765Here.
>>29724872Oh man, I remember this from hundreds of threads ago.
>>29724872I did not know decu was a 2hu
>>29724837Apparently the moon rabbits thought one of their comrades was stuck in decu's laptop and fed it carrotsWiFi cards do not like carrots I guess
>>29724291I seriously doubt anyone outside of the ninth even know about that.
>>29724872Soon, Deculture will be able to box those meteors back into space.
>>29725008The 1st might. But if Neco isn't posting about it it's not common knowledge.Hell, I'm not even sure Chiakiface knows about it.
>>29725044I don't think it's ever come up except in the Christmas episode.I'm fully prepared to be corrected, though.
>>29725044It is possible the First might, but other then them, I 'd think QB'd keep the discovery of a Eversor/Culexus hybrid close to the chest till he's sure about everything,
>>29725073It came up briefly on coobiequest when he discovered it
>>29725082>Eversor/Culexus hybridI don't think it's that. There's actually just something about Kyoko. There's actually not THAT much of a difference between different "ranks" of Meguca. It's mostly "what are your powers best used for " and philosophical differences, supported by years of training. At least in the ninth.>>29725096Coobiequest has a lot of stuff that has been retconned, as we discovered last thread.
>>29725150Actually noNothing has been retconned Deculture said he made a mistake
>>29725150at least... that's my perception.
>>29724745Oh my.Which doujin is this from? I haven't read it yet.
>>29725150>Coobiequest has a lot of stuff that has been retconned, as we discovered last thread.Do we know how old Mami is then?
Kyouko in a butler uningform.
>>29725195Google gave it to me.End page of http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/freeloader_in_the_false_cityPlease confirm that google gives the correct result for you too.
>>29725227Hnnng.
>>29725225Late teens, early twenties if his answer in the previous thread was a mistake and not a retcon. Most of the characters don't have fixed ages, except for Midori who is 17
>>29725230Reverse image search gives me nothing.
NYAN NYAN
>>29725245>Midori who is 17Chaki the ultimate pedo. She be at least 52.94 times her age at minimal.
>>29725227Oh hey, Maid-Sayaka actually looks decent. So this is what she was meant to be. Bitchy Maid Sayaka makes my dick tremble.
>>29725274Screenshot?
>>29725230I think I got the same result.
>>29725278NYAN NAYN
>>29725314NIHAO NYAN
>>29725290Okay
>>29725289You can have her, I want butler Kyouko.
>>29725324Gorgeous
>>29725245>Hanegawa Midori, 17-sai de~su!
>>29725285Given everything else she's worked through, I'm sure not even age difference would deter Midorin. All seriousness now: Decu's connection is working again. Thank you for your patience. Everything should be back to working order soon. Thanks for waiting, and hold on just a little longer!
>>29725331Delicious
>>29725341DECULTURE
>>29725324ONE JOB
>>29724165>>29724180>>29724214Confirmed for never having haggis. That shit is fucking delicious. A well made haggis is one of the best tasting things I've ever had in my life.>b-b-but it's boiled in a sheep's stomachWhat do you think sausages are? You're literally mowing down on meat packed into a pig's shittube.
>>29725326
>>29725336I just want to see Chiaki use Yoda's line once, now that we know she's technically ~900 years old.
>>29725285The estimate that Homu is 900 years old is likely lowballed quite a bit.From thread 170:>"...We broke at the ten thousand, nine hundred and forty-eighth attempt." Dildoes remarks here, her smirk gone, replaced by her businesslike emotionlessness. "But we kept trying, even then. Until one of us was broken enough that she did the impossible. The unthinkable."912 years or so of looping before Homu went nuts, then kept looping for an unspecified amount of time before the AI YO hit the fan.
>>29725278>>29725314>>29725324>>29725331>>29725341>>29725345And now we wait.
>>29725350W-what? Is Google trying to keep me, and me alone, from yuri? That's awful!
>>29725365/tg/ will stop google's oppression.
>>29725361A summoning is a combo. That is a failed summoning. We probably jinxed it.
>900ish years of loops is sufferingnipaa, please
>>29725356Easily 10000 years.Time flies when you're batshit crazy!
>>29725379Nah Decu has moon-hearing. Surely our pleas for content have reached him and moved his heart.
>>29725392
>>29725356Yeah I went for the lowest possible assuming the one month time frame was around 28 days or so and that the time frozen wasn't all that long which is most likely wrong. Still that just shows how the age difference would be if she could remember herself.
>>29725407>Deculture>heartHahaha!
>>29725392The best way to make time fly is to be very drunk.> But it's morning where you are, and you have class in an hour.Yes it is and yes I do. Clearly you do not understand alcoholism.
>>29725415>walpurgisnacht has escape>recruit a group of magical girls with attitude>mighty morphin' puella magiwould watch
>>29725433
>>29725418I'm still working off the assumption that Chiaki-Homu may not be as old as all that.
>>29725415After we save GoDoka we should say "After 10,000 years I'm free! Time to officially move on with my love life! Get over here Midori,"
>>29725433>>29725451
>>29725459I'm still hoping we are able to pull off a speech about the nature of a homu to the TO.
>>29725459Well, Godoka already told Midori that Chiaki should move on and find someone new while tacitly approving of her, all in the same sentence~
>>29725489>What can change the nature of a HomuAbsolutely fuckin' nothin.
>>29725496I wonder if we'd confide in Midori our recent experience with our past fucked up selves, and in turn reveal our two possible missions of killing Pinky or an Ascended version of Ourself? Then Midori drops the Madoka bomb she's been sitting on.Then our path is clear.
>>29725496How can you bring someone crashing down to their lowest point if they are already wallowing in misery on a daily basis.Pinky is building us up.
>>29725503Green carpet and XL Melons,apprently.
>>29725433>>29725451>>29725472
>>29725348Pigs>SheepShitubes>StomachSausages>HaggisThose are facts.
>>29725533More like Faggis mairite
>>29725516This is probably the best thing. Take Midori down to silent room to ask her about which would be better, killing a god without a bit of good left in her - Pinky - or killing a god who's yourself - Trancendhomu. Ideally Midori will actually say about Pinky and godoka then.
>>29725472have some more>>29725529I was searching for this image
>>29724156 >>29724158 >>29724166 >>29724211You narrow your eyes at Kyoko. Is there something you should know about that she isn't telling you?"H-huh?" The red-haired Eversor blinks, here. "N-no, I don't...I don't know what you're talking about, Murderface! A-ahahaha!"You shake your head here, before stepping forward and grabbing your best friend by her bared shoulders. You tell her that while you respect her relationship with Sayaka, and it's probably none of your business - but if you ever find out if there's some hardcore DV going on in their household, you'll be the first to beat some sense into Sayaka, Eversor Rank Leader or no."W-what?! DV?!" Kyoko's eye goes completely wide, here, before furiously shaking her head. "Get the fuck out of here, Murderface! Don't even joke about that kind of thing! Sayaka'd never do something like that!"You glare into the Eversor's one good eye for a moment longer, before nodding and leetting your hands fall back to your sides. Well, you're just saying, is all. What other reason would she have to want to transfer to the Second, if not for Sayaka? Add to that, what else would make her stay, besides Sayaka?"It's...it's just, you know." Kyoko scuffs the floor with a well-worn sneaker, her head down. "I kind of...want to be a hero too, you know? Like one of those Knights, charging in to save the day, on a really big horse, with my own standard and everything..."...You can put her on permanent Search and Rescue duty if she wants. And maybe get her a goddamn horse, you can probably have Kyuubey buy her one. Whatever else she wants, you'll make it happen.Kyoko frowns here. "Ya know it's not really the same, Murderface." Her frown softens to a thoughtful look, before it's replaced with a smile, a pink tinge on her cheeks. "B-but, it, it kinda feels good that you're trying really hard, you know?"[1/2]
>>29725548considering what the Japanese eat as delicacies, haggis is small-time.http://www.simonseeks.com/blog/world%E2%80%99s-strangest-delicacies
>>29725326>>29725350Yeah, in case you guys didnt know google bases the search results off you IP.Like, if you live in germany and make a search for the same thing as someone in lets say america, you get slightly different results.
>>29725560Now you're the one frowning. Of course you'd try your best, you don't want to lose Kyoko. It wouldn't be the same without her....Besides, Sayaka would've done the same thing, right?"Yeah, probably."'Probably'?"Yeah, if I told her about it." It's here that Kyoko shakes her head, a rueful grin on her face. "Geh, I don't even want to know how she'll react if I tell her. Probably just chain me to the bed or something."You mean she doesn't?"What?"You shake your head. Nothing. You didn't say anything."...Uh, alright, Murderface." Kyoko blinks. "But, um...I guess..." She glances down at the letter in her hands, then back at you. A moment later and she holds out the parchment, gesturing for you to take it. "Pretend I'm not your friend, Murderface. Just one of your Eversors, askin' for a transfer authorization. Just tell me yes or no, don't worry about me. I just...you know, if you don't want me to, then I won't. I just want to hear it from you clearly."[]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.[]Say no. You're not letting go of her.
>>29725472Somehow the golf club doesn't fit for me, Homu seems like she should be some kind of loli-airplane machine.Also we need a GAU-8/A.Because of reasons.
>>29725578NOPE
>>29725578>[X]Say no. You're not letting go of her.
Rolled 5>>29725578>[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her."The cap comes with some privileges. And now I will exercise my right to be selfish."
>>29725578>[]Say no. You're not letting go of her.Be cold, clinical and logical, we're not giving up one of our best.Then hug the shit out of her because she can be our big damn hero and we're not giving up our best friend.
>>29725578>[X] OtherI delegate all of my transfer requests to my Equerry, if you're just another Eversor you'll have to go ask her.
>>29725578>[X]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.But only if she gives you enough warning that you can give your notice.
>>29725578>[x]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.>[x] You're one of my best friends and I should respect your decision, heh, I just found out there was a me a few amnesias ago who wouldn't...>[x] Kyoko, something really bad is on the horizon, something I have to kill. It's me, well not me me, but another me. It's complicated.
>>29725578>[X]Other"Pretend you're someone else, Kyoko? Pretend that letting you go won't lead to my Equerry trying to kill me? Pretend you haven't been my best damn friend?"Sigh."There's no good out here, Kyoko. If I don't send you, the Second will be pissy. If I do, the Tenth will. Do you want to go? You've said you'd like to be a knight, but do you want to leave this all behind?"
>>29725578>[X]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to."If that's what you really, really wanted to do, then I guess i'd have to let you. It'd hurt like hell, because you're so damn valuable to us all, but even so."
>>29725578Being friends is hard.>[x]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to. But only after discussing it AT LENGTH with Sayaka.
>>29725578[x] Seconding >>29725617
>>29725578Fuck no."You aren't "just" one of my eversors, you are one of the strongest eversors around. The only reason you aren't the rank leader is because Sayaka is a monster with super fast regeneration bullshit."
>>29725525Even then all that did was make her not go into her addictions as much. She still pretty much is the same homu.
>>29725578...Maybe. But you ARE you, and right now the stakes are too high for me to let go of anyone with your abilities. Not without a fight.
>>29725578[x] what >>29725617 said
>>29725578>[X]Say no. You're not letting go of her.Kyouko is one of our best. If her reasons weren't so vague, I'd agree. However, letting her go on a note like that, just to salvage someone else's pride, does not sit well with me. So, no
>>29725578[]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.We trust her. We don't want her to leave, but we trust her.
>>29725578[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her.
>>29725578[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her.We can barely deal with Sayaka as is. Losing one of the few things that can keep her in check is a bad idea.
>>29725578[X] As one of our finest eversors I would request you to reconsider but as a warmaster I do not believe in holding girls against their will, if it truly was your desire to join the black templars then you canBut as your friend that would kill me and probably Sayaka, even if we both survived it wouldn't feel worth doing any more if you weren't here to enjoy it and I would probably join Kharn in retiring and living in some middle of nowhere shithole pretending i'm not disappointed that I survived for the rest of my life
>>29725578[x]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.But mention that there is a chance for her to be a big damn hero pretty soon. She should talk to Sayaka.
Rolled 12>>29725578>[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her."I cant let you transfer, not with the current situation. I need my rank leaders and veterans to deal with the prophet or this is going to spill past just the 9th."
>>29725578>[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her."Even if I didn't have a personal interest in keeping you here, Sayaka would chase after you like a lost puppy and leave the 9th to do so. An Eversor Rank Leader, too. The 9th would be a laughing stock until someone fucks up spectacularly enough to overshadow that."
>>29725620If this wasn't a blatant lie, I'd say go with this. As it is, I think we should consult Sayaka, anyway.
oh god. [x] Seconding >>29725617 so much.We need Kyoko to keep our head on straight.
>>29725578'IF you was just one Eversor asking for tranfer I would still have to intereviw you as you are one of our best but if you really wanted to go and make a good argument I would say yesbut I guess that in the end without it will all depend on you, go if you want I won't stop my best friend from going after her dream'
>>29725578>[X]Say no. You're not letting go of her."Okay then I'll pretend you aren't my friend. Answer is hell fucking no. You are one of the best Eversors I have right now and one of the few people I would consider genuinely competent enough to handle half the things I need done."
>>29725578>[]Say no. You're not letting go of her.We're going to need all the big damn heroes we can get soon, let her know of the apocalypse on the horizon, get Sayaka in here as well, let both of them know what we know,
>>29725578>[X]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.But only if she takes Sallaka with her. Flat out no will leave her resentful.
>>29725578[X] "Look there's some things that need done, the Prophet Situation foremost among them. Right now, I need you. When there's no more emergencies well talk about this again, ok?
>>29725578[x]Other."You and Sayaka are a couple. You shouldnt make that decision without talking to her about it first. If you still want to go after that, I wont force you to stay here. "Both answers are equally bad.
[X]Say no. You're not letting go of her.Suggestion possible temporary exchanges or somesuch in the future to improve relations with 2nd?
>>29725578[x] seconding >>29725617
>>29725578Wow, Kyoko has caught the heroine of justice idea from Sayaka. um.... this is a tough decision. [x]Say no. You're not letting go of her."You are also one of the best Eversors we have. I have to think how this move would effect the rest of us."
>>29725578[X] Even if you weren't my friend, this choice would be yours to make. As a Warmaster I will back up whatever decision you make regarding this offer.As a friend, I want you to stay, I don't think I can survive prolonged Sayaka exposure alone
>>29725578>[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her.And do what, give away the best Aide a warmaster has ever had and could ever ask for, fuck that, the cap says its time for me to be selfish
>>29725719I like this.
[X] "Besides, I've turned down enough Eversor transfers today"
>>29725578[X]OtherBeing a hero isn't as easy as throwing yourself at witches.she's doing an amazing job within our officio, not to mention keeping Sayaka sane. Being in the spotlight all the time isn't what being a hero is all about.Kyoko already is a goddamn hero in my book.
>>29725578[X]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.>Somehow, you have the feeling that she'll remember you saying no without asking for her opinion first.This is the most blatant hint I've ever seen. C'mon she's turned them down three times already. I just don't think she likes the idea that we won't even consider what she wants.
>>29725620This is probably the best way to let her down. We don't want to admit it, but the entire officio would go the way of the 17th without her. >>29725615This is unnecessarily troll-y, I think. Sayaka already has something big to tell kyok-ohhhh dear. Working theory: Kyouko wanted nothing to do with this, but now she knows Oriko is involved in all the GW bullshit and wants to be as far away as possible when it goes down. [x]"...has Sayaka had a talk with you today?"
>>29725578[x] Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.We need her to trust us. It's a risk, but it's worth it.Also take my advice with a grain of salt, I'm drunk.
>>29725617[x]No.[x]"There is a huge storm coming, Kyouko. Something bigger than me, you and this Officio. And to stop it I will need you and Sayaka both. Even if its just to stop me from making the wrong call and fucking everything up again."
>>29725578[X]No. If I let you leave Sayaka will kill me.
>>29725578>[]Say no. You're not letting go of her.Hells no!
>>29725578>[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her.She's pretty important for keeping our officio together.
>>29725578>[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her."Fuck no, Sayaka would WRECK me, rank be damned, for not even trying to keep you. Besides, aside from Sayaka, you're one of the most badass Eversors around, and one of the few people I can trust to keep my head on straight."
>>29725783Kyouko wouldn't be that cowardly. And I mean that in a "would let someone who's her friend die without trying to save her".
>>29725792IF we say no, this should be the reason.There be a storm brewing, and the world will burn.The only question is whether or not we will burn it to ashes first.
>>29725578Thanks for voting!
>>29725578>[x]Say yes. She can go to the Second if she really wants to.But she should talk to Sayaka first.
>>29725578[x]Say no. You're not letting go of her.>Pretend I'm not your friend, Murderface. Just one of your Eversors, askin' for a transfer authorization. Then, we're going to be greedy and keep a good one of our Eversors for ourselves. Fuck those holy knight dildoes. They can take one of the crappier Eversors.
>>29725419>>29725560>>29725578Pls decu, I don't think I can deal with this.
>>29725707If we must "NO", then this is the least bad of the bad.
>>29725852so good to have proper banner posting again
>>29725959Win, the “yes” needs the “no” to win, against the “no”
>>29726083what?
>>29726067Hopefully NECO shows up before I have to bail. I have a big meeting this afternoon!
>>29725778>I just don't think she likes the idea that we won't even consider what she wants.So is it only 2 people that actually read what was written, and realized that we've already fucked up in this conversation?
>>29726157good luck then Hat
>>29726174Par for the course, really
>>29726174Well, there are two schools of thought on the matter.One is that we won't consider what she wants, and the other is that she realises that we think that she's so important to the Officio we won't let her go.At the very least, we need to make Kyubey get that girl a pony.
I hope decu picks something that won't harm our Kyobro relationship. I think there are more than a few good reasons why murderface would say no to the second to hand over any random girl.Foremost in my mind is that little sarcastic quip at the end directed at us. We can be a hundred times as petty as they ever could. We can just return a note by ourselves, in horribly written drunken handwriting, saying, "If the second can not muster the manpower needed to take care of a few witches, you can always just send a few missions to the 9th. We can pick up your slack for a while." Sealed with wax repurposed from a Makers Mark bottle.
>>29726174Oh I'm aware but I don't think Chaki would even let the thought of such a close friend leaving at this moment be considered. Especially considering what is going on at the moment with the prophet.
>>29726174We're worried and reactionary. Hopefully that shows through. We're frayed from finding out we may be more than 1000 years old due to time loops, and that we may have to kill a godlike schism of ourself to save the godlike schism of a friend maybe lover we couldn't let go of.We may need to be fraying at all of this...And the implications from other selfs that Midori is dangerous.
>>29726200>At the very least, we need to make Kyubey get that girl a pony.it seems like the Murderface course of action.>Sayaka comes home.>There is a horse just standing there, in her and Kyoko's bathroom
>>29726209We'll lose points with her, but honestly that's ok. I'm more worried about the Second going to come and commandeer her personally.
>>29726219A horse in ARMOR.With a BANNER
>>29726219Oh god. I honestly could see murderface giving her an entire ranch if she needed it to stay.
>>29726219>With Kyouko squealing and giggling like a three year old so excited that she actually got a horse
That's a lot of transfers in a short time. Will we ever get people transferring in?
>>29726219We must do this now.
>>29726242Nope. The rats are jumping the sinking ship.
>>29726233And thus murderface started her second officio war.
>>29726209Send them a care package.Twenty tons of toilet paper, 30 tons of marmite, and some Prozac prescribed specifically to their Warmaster.
>>29726217>we may have to kill a godlike schism of ourself to save the godlike schism of a friend maybe lover we couldn't let go of.We were also told that not letting her go, being too stubborn and selfish, was the very thing that led to everything going to shit.Exactly as we're doing right now with Kyouko, and damaging our relationship. Because even if we have to refuse her request, we should at least ask her for her opinion.
>>29726219>Sees this.Only possible response to this is. "Kyoko I didn't know you where into that."
>>29726254We say no, she gets snippy, we realize what we're doing and who we're acting like, go to apologize and explain.Actually, I think many of the voters forgot she has turned them down three times already.
>>29726219>>29726234That must be done. By the will of the Warmaster.
>>29726254This this this fucking THIS.
>>29726254We did. She's already implicitly implied she wants to go. We're just denying that.
Maybe we can do better than a horse. What if we got her a motorcycle?
>getting Kyoko a horse>not commissioning Misaka to build her an indestructible battle stallion with a modified horse AI.
>>29726278Nah I didn't. I just think Chaki would react with "nope nope not now." Even if she knows it's likely she will turn her down the mere thought of this time her doing it would cause that.
>>29726278She may have turned them down before, but possibly not under duress. She seemed kind of eager this time, but we ignored it.
>>29726252Just think of all the points~
>>29726316We'd make Risa's day.
>>29726316>going for risa pointsMax Risa points is chopping yourself in two, because it betrays EVERYONE. That's what you should do.
>>29726253Remind us to vote to have Mami write the letter back. I"m too scared anon will really do this.
>actually getting Kyouko a horseterrible, terrible idea
>>29725608 >>29725615 >>29725617 >>29725663Right. If she wants you to pretend that she's not your friend, and to not think of her feelings, and just think of her as one of your best Eversors - then no. No, you're not giving up one of your best, and most reliable staff on hand to another Officio. You don't give a shit if the Second gets pissy at you because of this - they can choke on their haggis for all you care. Fuck those holy Knight dildoes.Kyoko is silent at this, her mouth slightly agape, her one eye wide and staring - before grinning and catching you in a crushing hug. Quickly suppressing the instinct to pull out your Desert Eagle and pistol-whip her off of you, you allow the physical contact to take place, as warm and as sweaty as it is."Hahaha! W-well, if my Warmaster says I can't, then I can't!" She draws back to look at you, an expression of complete relief in her face. "See, that's why I voted for ya, Murderface. Mami-san didn't even need to tell me to - I knew you'd be great Warmaster material! Ahaha!"Wait, she voted for you? FOR the Warmaster position?"Sure! Was the first one to!" Kyoko thumps her chest proudly. "Made Sayaka write your name down on the ballot too, even though I had to do a whole lot of chores for that, hahaha!"You're not too sure what to say to that.But...she's okay with you saying no? She did sound like she really wanted to go."Well, you know, it'd be nice and all, with the armor, an' the title, and everything..." Kyoko grows pensive, here. "But that's kinda like suddenly sneaking out of the band and selling out, you know? I'd be letting Sayaka down, an' Mami-san down...and not to mention the runt I call my best friend, hahaha!" She puts you in a headlock here, grinding her knuckles playfully on your scalp. "If there's anything I learned, it's friends that're important! Just as important as family!"[1/2]
>>29726326I still want to hit 1 million points with her. Can you imagine what the rewards for that could be?
>>29726365...Right. Friends. Family.So the both of you are cool, then?"Super cool!" Kyoko cheers as she releases you from her headlock, only to give you a hearty slap on your lower back. You very nearly feel your knees give out at the loud, crisp impact. "Haha, to think I just needed to ask you, Murderface! And I was really losing sleep over this!"Well, you're glad you can help."A-anyway, I gotta run, too, Sayaka-chan's meeting me for a late lunch, said she wanted to talk to me about something important!" Kyoko grins at you one last time, before making for the door. "You go and eat your lunch too, Murderface, before it gets cold!" She gestures to the wrapped lunch on your table, and you nod at this. Maybe later, yeah."Alright! Thanks again, Murderface! Later!"You hear the Eversor's rapid footsteps recede as she sprints down the hall - and you shake your head before returning to your chair. That...was probably one of the most difficult decisions you had to make. Seemed like you made the right one, in any case.It's here, then, that your laptop beeps for attention - and you open it. Instead of the harried, pink-haired girl, who you see instead is Mami. Seems like she's in a very expensive restaurant, from the looks of it."Chiaki-san!" Mami beams, smiling. "How's everything? Are you holding up well with the daily Warmaster tasks I've left for you in your office?" She blinks for a moment, before squinting. "...Wait, you haven't eaten, have you? It's past lunchtime already, you know!"...What? How'd she know that?"I can see the packed lunch Midori-chan made you's not even open yet!" She pokes a well-manicured finger at the screen. "I want you to have lunch as soon as you can, alright?"...Kyoko's already beaten her to the punch, there, but you'll make sure you do, yes.Mami sighs, but regains her 1000-watt smile mere moments later. "Well, alright. Now...how is it being a real live Warmaster, Chiaki-san? Did you have fun?"How do you respond?
>>29726367We'd have to figure out what color she contributes to the watermelon end.
>>29726367All the Swedish fish we can eat!Unlocking the power to repair our mastery over time and space?Access to Monologue?
>>29726378No.
>>29726378"You turned me into a watch-wearing, paper-pushing dildo."
>>29726378"What's fun? Do I have time for it in my schedule?"
>>29726378"I have become watch-wearing dildo, destroyer of paperwork"
>>29726378[x] Surprisingly.
>>29726378[X] it is harder than I thoughtAnd boring, how do people do paperwork for a living without spontaneously witching out without even having contracted in the first place?
>>29726389Wouldn't her monologue interfere with our own?>>29726408>>29726414This is the only correct answer.
>>29726378[x] "It's not what I call 'fun', but I'm doing the best I can. I think I actually did okay, 2 out of 3. Wait, do we hold retirement parties? Is that a thing I'm supposed to do?"One of those retirement requests was Mami's, and we didn't bother to check.
>>29726378>"Did you have fun?"Paranoia intensifies
>>29726378>Kinda want to shoot something...so no different than normal.
>>29726378"I want you to bring me back a watch so i can be a true watch wearing dildo."
>>29726410Hehe, Voting for this.
>>29726408>>29726410>>29726414Yes.
>>29726378...Define fun. I think I need some more assistants to deal with this for me.
>>29726378[X] "Fun is the Devil."
>>29726414>haveam[x] "I am become watch-wearing dildo, destroyer of paperwork"
>>29726418Dueling Monologues?We become Magical Girl Deadpool
>>29726378>>29726410>>29726416voting a combination of those
>>29726378I had to make some difficult, nerve-wrenching decisions that could alter the course of this Officio in less time than I can say "oh, shit". In less than five minutes apart. It's different, for sure.
>>29726367something like this I imagine
>>29726378"paperwork doesn't have kneecaps to shoot, so not really..."
>>29726455No, that'd be if Braids, Dildos, and Murderface got monologues of their own. Which I totally want.
>>29726389I'm like 90% sure that Monologue is Pinky.
>>29726378>>29726410[X] Voting for this
>>29726378[x] I wasn't aware that having fun was the purpose of this whole Warmaster thing. I would like a refund please.
>>29726378[x] "Suppose it's alright, but doing this every day sounds boring."
>>29726410I'll go with this.
>>29726378"I hate being a watch-wearing dildo."
>>29726378[x]This job is dildoes, but manageable, I think. I still prefer jobs where shooting people is the appropriate solution, though.
>>29726378"I'm sweating buckets.I'm not used to my actions having consequences for other people.Why would you people do this to meeeeee"
>>29726467Worth it
>>29726378"paperwork is dildoes"
>>29726408>>29726414Just grumble something about watch-wearing dildos under your breath.
>>29726378>fun
>>29726378[X] Jokes aside, I guess it was nice that we were able to make a few girls happy today.
>>29726505>I'm not used to my actions having consequences for other people.We're not? But, what about all the dead people? Murder tends to have consequences. Unless we shirk them entirely, like we always did.
>>29726378[ x ] Ups and downs like always. Punching the lights out of one particular bitch was especially satisfying.
>>29726555Being dead isn't a consequence, it's a state of mind.We're helping expand people's minds here.
>>29726566>We're helping expand people's minds here.By expanding their skulls?
>>29726389>>29726479Yeah. Found it.http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/29614138/#p29622424When asked whether Monologue was a he or a she.>"Could be either, though sometimes they smell of sticky sweet corruption. Girls smell of corruption right?" Risa asks rubbing her wrists.I swear there was something about Monologue wearing pink too.So either Azure and Decu are conspiring and Monologue/Pinky is involved in some giant crossover mess, or they're just conspiring together to fuck with us.
>>29726524Yeh, I was kind of happy we could grant that one girls assassination request, one way or another.When(if) she comes back, we need to remind her that she could have just submitted a formal assassination request. She must have forgotten who we are or something. We could have sent her in with her squad, they could have had a nice bonding moment over his dead body.
>>29726505I like this one the best only if it is said with deadpan sarcasm.
>>29726590I did ask about this in the thread.The Primer must have something to say about Magical Girls hiring Magical Girls, surely?
>>29726378>Trying to save that one girl for 900 years>Fun>EverI luv my Mumi but for that question she deserves to be bitchslapped over the internet.
>>29726378[x] Smile and tell her that you're doing your best, and so far the personnel you've handled have responded to your decisions in a positive light... But you are hoping your secretary and a personalized rubber stamp arrive soon to speed up the process.
>>29726590>>29653650>this violates our Officio's rules and regulations regarding civiliansWe really need to find out what those rules are. Who is considered a civilian in the first place?In fact we should ask Mami right the fuck now.
>>29726589You know...the final payoff will never be as good as all of our suspicions.
>>29726636You must have never grinded an RPG for an item with a 0.01% chance to drop.
>>29726378Uh... That's weird. Let's try this again. Thank you for voting!
>>29726651>In fact we should ask Mami right the fuck now.or just list in Primer
>>29726636...she doesn't know about that, does she?
>>29726680Didn't Deculture say it's just bragging rights?
>>29726703I think bloodletters were mentioned at some point.
>>29726589>implying Monologue isn't FUCKING MALAL somehowShe told us she's dead, right? What happens when you die?
>>29726714>bloodlettersBloodthirsters, Cruor Praetoria.
>>29726703>>29726714I meant our suspicions of their collaboration and conspiracy. Whatever we get for 1 million Risa Points will be fantastic.I was referring to the payoff on the belief that Deculture and Azure Earth are UP TO SOMETHING OH MY G-D WHAT ARE THEY DOING AND WHY IS IT MAKING ME GLANCE OVER MY SHOULDER AT SHADOWS ON THE WALL IN FULL BLOWN PSYCHOTIC PARANOIA
>>29726651I said it in the last thread. If he is responsible for the death of a girls family, he is responsible for her despair, he is no longer a civilian. Especially if a girls family is supposed to be under officio protection. Even worse is the fact that he is sheltered by power and influence of his friends. So there is no possible way she could ever get justice. The primer is more like a guideline, as warmaster we can make acceptions.
>>29726745oh, shit. That's what Malal meant by cheating, isn't it?She's hiding in ANOTHER FUCKING QUEST.so meta.
>>29726775How many cycles gas this been? I mean taking the series information directly, Malal was probably one of the strongest beings in the universe ever. Being able to hide in another universe wouldn't be out of the question.
>>29726378>>29726365Kyouko why r u so gross yuck
>>29726775>spending some time dead for tax reasons
>>29726854It is sweat of love! And being basically a mobile blender with a smile
>>29726760Making exceptions carries with it consequences and precedent.And it's not up to us to change the definition of a civilian when it's an inter-Officio definition.
>>29726745uhh... you are killed?
>>29726854>Kyouko>grossthem's fighting words, Dan
>>29726854It's sweat of affection! It smells heavenly!
>>29726745For Meguca, it was implied in one of the last Siberia Arc threads that Godoka created a heaven analogue for magical girls to reside on after their passing. Malal is presumably there.
>>29726745>>29726915
>>29726915http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Hollow
>>29726915I don't think Malal would die, even if you killed her.
>>29726915That's not given.
>>29726745>implying the plant isn't MalalThey both wear helmets and food always disappears around them when nobody is looking. They also both have bullshit magic.

>>29727002>>29727023...Oh my stars and garters.
>>29727066Kyubey, what the fuck have you unleashed?
Filename.
>>29726408 >>29726410 >>29726416Honestly? It's...you're not too sure how Mami is able to handle this kind of paperwork, day in and day out. It's tedious, time-consuming, and nerve-wracking. How does someone sit down and deal with this, and not immediately Witch out? It's mind-boggling.And no, it hasn't...it hasn't been fun at all. She turned you into a dildo. A watch-wearing dildo. And you don't like it very much, thank you."A...a watch-wearing what?" Mami blinks here, her cheeks flushing red, before she giggles. "O-oh! That! Hee, well...I was anticipating that you'd be a bit averse to paperwork, Chiaki-san, but not quite like this." The blonde smiles at you again. "Still, I did want you to get a tiny slice of what a Warmaster goes through every day."A...tiny slice?Mami nods. "I gave you, um...I suppose five percent of the total daily workload of a Warmaster, Chiaki-san. And no, before you ask, it's not all transferrals - it's also stuff like item acquisition, training reports, staff requests. Stuff a Warmaster needs to acknowledge as well as sign off on."Five percent? That's...wow. You can't even fathom just how tall the remaining 95% pile would be.It's here that Mami frowns. "Oh, come on, Chiaki-san, stop making that face. It wasn't that bad, was it?"What face? You're not making any--oh. Well. That's just how you frown. Mami huffs here, but even you can tell that she's just jerking you around. "Well, thankfully I thought of you not really being into the whole paperwork thing, so I thought up of something to help you delegate those tasks to someone else."Really? That's Mami for you.What is it, then?[1/2]
>>29727149Why do you make it look like Kyouko is wearing japanese schoolgirl swimsuit in that one?
>>29727171"Well, I heard that you wanted to make Midori-chan your secretary or something, Chiaki-san? As it is, she's just registered as your aide-de-camp, now." She clicks something offscreen, and Midori's smiling picture appears at the upper right hand corner. "We can formalize her role right here, right now, to be the one handling your paperwork for you." Mami frowns again. "Now, don't take this as a permanent excuse from paperwork, as you'll have to synch up with her every day to make sure you're not missing anything important, but at least you'll have someone you trust to do the interviews, look over requisition and disputes, the little details, while you do all the fieldwork as Warmaster" Another smile. "Of course, I'll be here every step of the way to supervise and train her for the position."Huh. Well, that....that sounds pretty good, actually. And it'll keep Midori out of harm's way, too, just being here. Away from the Tenth, and the Prophet."I thought so too, Chiaki-san." Another smile. "But if you'd like me to handle your paperwork personally, then I'll also suggest making Midori-chan one of our Callidus instructors. I checked out her profile earlier - she's not that experienced in terms of mission time, but she IS ratified as a full Callidus, and you know how Enishi-chan always has her hands full with the new trainees. Of course, we don't get them all that often, but another full-fledged Callidus on the instructor staff would be good."Huh. So...you're to pick between Secretary Midori and Physical Trainer Midori, eh?Mami giggles again. "W-well, when you put it that way, Chiaki-san..."Which one do you pick for Midori, then?[]Secretary.[]Physical Trainer[]Leave the choice up to Midori
>>29727171>"A...a watch-wearing what?" Mami blinks here, her cheeks flushing red, before she giggles.Oh, Mami, you so good at pretending to be pure...
>>29727184Are you saying that you don't you work out in a Japanese schoolgirl swimsuit? Everyone works out in Japanese schoolgirl swimsuits.
>>29727171The fireplace was your first thought.
>>29727199[]Leave the choice up to MidoriAssigning her to be a secretary might be a waste of her talents.
>>29727199>[]Leave the choice up to MidoriShe could do well in either position, once she grows into them.
>>29727199Ask mami if she can take care if business. She may be a little off, but she isn't directly malevolent, and the only thing better than a powerful wizard is a lot of powerful wizards. If mami is fine with the paperwork, I'd prefer having trainer midori
>>29727199>[X]Leave the choice up to Midori
>>29727199Fuck. Having best girl around 24/7 would be a massive bonus for us.On the other hand, showing we appreciate her ungodly Callidus skills beyond giving fuckawesome hugs and pancakes would be a plus.Yeah, let's go with [X]Leave the choice up to MidoriWe can have a fun conversation with her about it.
[]Leave the choice up to MidoriMore than anything I want Midoritime.
>>29727199[x] SecretaryWe damn well need one.
>>29727199my shadowruns says that both could bring problems so>[X]Leave the choice up to Midori
>>29727199>[Χ]Secretary.
>>29727199>Leave the choice up to Midori
>>29727261Hey, don't bring in the metagame.
>>29727199letting midori train anyone seems like a bad timesecretary midori best
>>29727199[x]Physical TrainerSeems better to me.
>>29727199[x]Defer the choice until after talking with MidoriI want to have a chance to speak with Midori about this, and which role she's most suited for, before making a choice. Because Mami's done a perfect job of handling Warmaster paperwork till now, and being an instructor will also keep Midori out of harm's way as well.And Callidus are a rare acquisition right now that are worth giving better training.
[X]Leave the choice up to MidoriBut leaning towards[X]Physical TrainerDon't make poor Midorin do your bitch work plsBesides, in an instructor role she can focus on developing her abilities
[x]Defer the choice until after talking with MidoriThe responsibilityIt hurts.
>>29727257Midori's skills as a Callidus aren't exceptional, but she has a good head on her shoulders. She may be able to instill a good analytical mindset to potential trainees, or how to work well under pressure. That kinda stuff is useful no matter what your profession is.
>>29727199>[x]Leave the choice up to MidoriAfter experiencing this, we wouldn't want to FORCE anyone to go through this
>>29727199[X] leave it up to Midori but could we set her up as half / half? Surely there will be times when paperwork is mostly done and Enishi could use a hand still and we have been on the receiving end of Midori's skills and they are considerable which would help our training a lotIf she wants to be a trainer she could even run all the newbies through basic illusion detecting methods etc, throw them in some varying levels of illusionary traps so they learn how to handle them
>>29727199[x]Leave the choice up to MidoriEither way is fine after all
>>29727334Actually, Decu had stated that Midori is Very good at the illusion side of being a Callidus. She's just not as good when it comes to combat.
>>29727334>aren't exceptional>can entrap people in a perfect illusion where they fill in details themselvesRiiiiiight
>>29727328>Besides, in an instructor role she can focus on developing her abilitiesTrue, but as our aide de camp and secretary, she will have full access to the Officio records she needs to reconstruct a non-Malalled personnel file of Murderface, and her Callidus information analysis abilities will make sure that she sees patterns in the incoming information before something happens, and be able to inform us about it.
>>29727328Hmmm, yes, her "abilities".
>>29727199[x]Leave the choice up to MidoriHowever I think she will like secretary work as much as I do
>>29726455>Magical Girl Deadpool We need this ASAP.
>>29727367Yeah, don't push all the hard work onto Midori. That's mean.Let some hired watch wearer do it.
>>29727261[X] "Either is good. You deserve more free time, but Midorin would benefit from the training."[X] be completely oblivious to > implications
>>29727199>So...you're to pick between Secretary Midori and Physical Trainer Midori, eh?Do we get picture of the choice that wins?Decu? Dan? Hat-Chan? I'm looking at you.
>>29727199>[ x ]Secretary.You can always put a hot secretary to good use.
>>29727381If it doesn't pan out, she could always be Chiaki's sexcretary.
>>29727199[x] Physical TrainerNOT TOO LATE TO VOTE FOR SWEATY BOOBS MIDORI YESSSnot dead
>>29727415GET OUT OF HERE, NYALKER!
>>29727199[X] Secretary
>>29727415>NECOGlad you could make it!
>>29727415good to see you are finaly here NECO
>>29727415Excellent point, NECO.Maybe Midori will whip noodly Murderface into shape.
>>29727399... I'll do both, eventually. I won't complain if Dan beats me to the punch though
>>29727199[x] Let midori make the choice
>>29727199>[X]Physical TrainerI want Karasawa for our Secretary.
>>29727436Muscle Murderface?Better Diet balanced with exercise so while we have a physically fit murder face she fills out a bit from a healthy diet?
>>29727199Nyohoho~ Sorry for my absence, folks, and thanks Hat-chan for filling in!I just needed to rest a little today because Illidan is BULLSHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK, nyaha!
>>29727336>35>> >>29727199> >[x]Leave the choice up to Midori> After experiencing this, we wouldn't want to FORCE anyone to go through this>>>>>Anonymous 8 minutes ago No.29727336>> >>29727199> [X] leave it up to Midori but could we set her up as half / half? Surely there will be times when paperwork is mostly done and Enishi could use a hand still and we have been on the receiving end of Midori's skills and they are considerable which would help our training a lotI kinda like this because it lets Midori dip her feet into both pools before making a permanent decision.
>>29727403She's already set to be Chiaki's sexretary, right now we're trying to give her a job that doesn't have sex right in the name
>>29727199>[x]Physical Trainer>[x]Leave the choice up to MidoriNuts to having her do our paperwork, she's got some talent going, plus she can probably spread out some cautionary tales of what could happen should the Calliduses fail at their assignment.>"So in short, always make sure your target isn't under the protection of some eldritch being, or you might suddenly find yourself without any working legs."
>>29727509This. Callidus are pretty rare. Important to use them effectively.
>>29727199>[x]Leave the choice up to MidoriCan't we just... clone her or something?I wouldn't be surprised if Kyubey had the technology.>inb4: that's the secret behind supply of Grief Seeds, they come from clones made for witching-out
>>29727469Times 50
>>29727469What they dug Illidan's useless ass up to parade around as a loot piñata again!They run out of ideas often
>>29727561Nah, Video Game Championship Wrestling. Gettin' mad at video games themed around other video games.He was boring as hell to watch and he beat Travis Touchdown and it was bullshit. Still->>29727532Yeah this.
>>29727591That is incredibly bullshitTravis trained in wrestling!
>>29727606Its because the CAW maker gave Illidan nothing but boring powermoves, His finishers were fucking Chokeslam and a tombstone piledriver. Which makes no fucking sense.
>>29727469>[ ] prepared> [ x ] not prepared
>>29727509Plus it would help her integrate into the officio a bit. We can't be her only link to the 9th.
>>29727509"And then you end up in their bed. True story."

>>29727477>Surely there will be times when paperwork is mostly doneSon, it seems like you've never worked in an office before.
>>29727649
>>29727653x1000
>>29727649>handle the backload
>>29727625So basically the creator went "I like illidan more so he gets all the good moves"?Bleh 0/10 wouldn't bother
>>29727625Yeah, that's the gist of it to my understanding. I'm hoping he gets smacked around by Bowser or something in a big turtle dick-waving assertion of dominance and doesn't become like a major plot character. Dull heels are no fun.>>29727687I suspect this.ANYWAY this derail brought to you by SALT.I pose to you this, anons: What makes you think Midori isn't just going to say 'Wh-whatever you want me to do, Sempai...!' or 'Whatever will keep me closer to you, Sempai...!' (I need more creepy Midori art)
>>29727653>finish paperwork>realise you need more office supplies
>>29727699I think her doing a bit of both would be good but the training might be a little more important.
>>29727649Chiaki wouldn't last a day before the sexual harassment lawsuit.
>>29727699It could result in flustered-Midori. Which is always a cute thing to see.Or it could result in catching a glimpse of Midori in nurture mode.
>>29727699She can think for herself and make her own choices?
>>29727740But Midori would be totes okay with anything sempai does! Who's going to start that suit?
>>29727649Let's see if we can put something lewder on her. Any ideas?
>>29727768I think that you underestimate just how hardcore Homulove can be

testa
>>29727824Why didn't Kharn do this?
>>29727854>implying she didn't try at least once
>>29727854Malal probably intercepted the paperwork.
>>29727854Kharns tastes run towards the more militaristic.
>>29727199[x]Secretary.[x]Physical TrainerYOU FOOLS! WHY DIDNT YOU TAKE THE OBVIOUS CHOICE!
>>29727872We can't make Midori do everything.At least, not with Time Stop busted.
THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON ANYANTHIS IS WHAT YOUR COMMON COURTESY COST YOUprobably
>>29727854Because the Rabbits were already a group?
If we had her as a physical trainer I bet she'd work off the fat that people keep teasing her with.
>>29727824I approve.
>>29727927Oh god, anything but that. Ramenbutt without a Ramenbutt is blasphemy.
>>29727915Hat should just do a Midori cosplay set
>>29727927>implying we want her to do that
>>29727915>11/01/23>image from 9 years in the future>MGNQ still going strong
>>29727915>implying we're not going to see Midori sweat plenty
>>29727699More creepy Midori art is easier than easy. Just take creepy art of Shion and change the eye color
>>29727927>work off the fat>she gets HUGE, but flat as a washboard
>>29727915>That pic
>>29727915Of course! Our aides should all dress in Angel Morte uniforms!
>>29727973>>29727973Wrong kind of creepy, I mean the kind where she's breathing super heavily over something totally inappropriate.
>>29727927>Flatdori
>>29727975>implying that's not what I want
>>29727973>Midori>Shion>not Mionyou're either mistaken or using their birth names
>>29727927Smaller boobs without the fat, through. I think.Is it retroactive?
>>29727997This sounds like a job for Dan Kim. Someone fire up the Buttsignal!
>>29727997Only one drawing from Dan had that. Hat can't into creepy.
>>29727854What's to say she didn't?
>>29728027Search for pics of muscle girls. Their pecs are huge, but they are flat. We don't want that for our Angel.
>>29727997I don't think heavy breathing Shion exists.There is this, though.
>>29728085mah nigga
>>29727236 >>29727246 >>29727253 >>29727261Hnn. Both sound tempting, especially when one of them gives you a legitimate out from paperwork - but as it is, you'll have to leave it for Midori herself to decide which she wants. You're not into forcing people into doing something they might not like, anyway."Oh?" Mami seems surprised at your decision, here. "Mmm, well, that's certainly very kind and considerate of you, Chiaki-san, but..." It's here that the blonde's expression turns serious. "What if Midori-chan wants to be placed in the active roster, along with you? You want her to be safe, but what if what you want is at odds with what she wants, too?". . .The blonde Vindicare lets out another sigh, before smiling at you. "Chiaki-san, you are our Warmaster. You make the decisions here, not us. It's not a matter of being polite or being considerate - you earned the right to choose, and I'm sure whatever you pick Midori-chan will do her best to fit. But please, remember that you have the authority to make decisions that affect those in our Officio, and while their feelings may be hurt, it usually pans out in the long run. Most especially if you made the decision with their best interests in mind."...Right. You're...well, you're still not used to everything about being Warmaster, so...um.You're sorry."It's fine, Chiaki-san. No need to apologize." Mami shakes her head. "We'll go with what you want. You're Warmaster, after all." Another smile curves her lips, just as warm, just as heartfelt as all the rest of her. "And I'm sure you'll do much better after getting your feet wet a bit more."Yeah. You hope so, too.[1/2]
>>29728097Somehow I just knew that NECO was going to be into that.
>>29728081And secretarial work has her sitting on the Ramen butt for long stretches of time. This has the potential to lead too more ramen butt...Does Chiaki want a Harder Midorin or a Softer Midorin. Given her love of squishy butts she may err toward a softer Midorin
>>29728111It's here, then, that a shadow falls over Mami, and she looks at something behind the screen with something approaching recognition. "Oh! Chiaki-san, my lunch date's here! I'll talk to you later, alright?" She closes her end of the connection before you can greet her goodbye, the screen blanking out. You shake your own head, and shut your own laptop in turn.So this is what being a Warmaster's all about, huh? What dildos. You wish you never got the position.You shake your head, before pulling open your boxed lunch.Uncovering...well. It's a rice meal, that's for sure. Not the pancakes you were expecting. For a moment, you consider throwing it away.Until you realize that the colorful garnish is actually carefully arranged and shaped to resemble a super-deformed Murder Mayumi and a Miracle Midori holding hands, with hearts all over them....Yeah, okay. This job may indeed be dildos, you think, as you break your chopsticks apart and start eating.But it's not all that bad.
>>29728111Calling it right now, he's going to call it a day after his next post.
>>29728161Wow, what insightsuch cleververy prophecy
>>29728156delicious food made with much love.hnnnnnnnnng.
>>29728156>Mami was seen eating lunch with another man
>>29728156...this is what happens when you date an artist, they art at you. They art at you hard to express their love
>>29728213>Another man>Not the ProphetDo you even shadowrun
>>29728213Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
>>29728156And Mami is found dead, cue murder mystery
>>29728097I think I found the closest we're gonna get to what you're talking about.
>>29728213bitch we don't care about her, we have Midori!
>>29728244Good start, very good start.
>>29728213we don't even know if it is a man or not.though I am a bit worried now.
>>29728242I already solved it.
>>29728156Alright, ending thread now! Next thread on Saturday night! Thank you for everyone's participation, feedback is always encouraged!Before I open this up for questions, though, I'll put this up to a vote, here. Do you guys want to timeskip the next day (I'll give you some options on what Murderface can concentrate on, which may add points depending on who's involved) or do you want me to play out the second day straight? This is so that next thread will be the Smash and Grab mission proper.

>>29728286[x]Midoritime
>>29728286Timeskip sounds fun. Let's get to the murdering of faces.
>>29728286Timeskip is ok as long as you write how the rest of the officio reacted when they learned that Chiaki KO'd "Glass jaw" Sayaka.
>social linksor>get on with itwhichever gets us to the cult meeting faster
>>29728325This please.
>>29728286[x] timeskip
>>29728286Timeskip, and vote that we actually read the mission briefing (the one bit of paperwork I was hoping we could have done) at some point during the remainder of today.
>>29728286No skip.
>>29728325Yeah, this.
>>29728286I'm voting to time skipanyway thanks for running Deculture
>>29728325>>29728338Yeah, I need me some QB points.
>>29728286Time to visit Misaka holy shit its been like trillion years
>>29728286Play it out straight.We should tell Midori what we're going to have her do, whether as secretary or as an instructor.
>>29728287>>29728286Whelp. I'm vindicated. That aside, play it straight.
>>29728370Misaka is in Siberia.

>>29728156>Chiaki-san, my lunch date's here! I'll talk to you later, alright?We'll never hear from her again.
>>29728387Then we fucking go to Siberia
>>29728286Thanks for running!http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Magical%20Girl%20Noir%20QuestThread has been archived!As long as we can find out Midori's reaction to our decision I'm fine with anything.Also, when Kyoko left to meet up with Sayaka, was that so Sayaka could inform Kyoko about the Prophet? That would be nice to sort out before our joint operation.
>>29728286Play it outWe will never again do watch wearing dildo stuff so let's do it once, do it right then get back to destroying millions of dollars worth of property and research
>>29728269And I can't find anything else. I think that's it.Sorry.
>>29728286[X] play it out
>>29728286no skip
Rolled 33>>29728286>Play it straight
>>29728286
>>29728438And miss out on the one mission where we get to smash everything except for the target without concern for collateral damage?And we haven't even reviewed the mission dossier to know what is the target. We could be extracting a person for all we know.
>>29728463You did your best. I'm sure if I needle Midori drawfag a bit...
>>29728029
>>29728625goddammit it's too early for me to be laughing this hard
>>29728625haha, nice.
>>29728111>"What if Midori-chan wants to be placed in the active roster, along with you? You want her to be safe, but what if what you want is at odds with what she wants, too?"So difficult.On the one hand I REALLY want Midori to be able to handle herself better in combat for when the shit hits the fan.On the other, Mami deserves more "me" time and less chasing down our fuckups, and we could use someone like Midori who actually has a head for organisation.A real Devil's Choice.
>>29728323 >>29728325 >>29728314 >>29728310 >>29728325Timeskip it is, then!Now, everyone decide what Murderface focuses on for the day![]Paperwork[]Midoritime[]Combat training with Sayaka[]Endurance training with Kyoko[]Marksmanship training with Mami[]Catching up with MisakaPick a maximum of two!
>>29728748Fuck it.Make her the Secretary.That's where we wanted her, and she's both Mami and Koobs approved,Also, we already told NECO that we were planning on having Midori handle this stuff.

>>29729156The relapse will happen when mami or midori kicks the bucket

>>29729265Sallaka find horse in bathroom when?
>>29729265They're all secretly bronies. No wonder Kharn killed a bunch of them.
>>29729211What does midori's inucurry style witch look like?Would chiaki's be a derivative of Homulily or completely different?
>>29729211Are we going to have a chance to actually read the mission dossier so that we know whether we're supposed to be grabbing a person or an object? Whether it's gong to be something small and fragile like a microchip or something huge and unwieldy that we can stuff into our Shield Inventory? Is it going to be radioactive or chemically caustic?
>>29729211Midori is no Eversor, but how strong is she and how good would she be in a brawl?Are there any non-Magical Girl related factions that can seriously undermine an Officio?
>>29729236Yes!>>29729238Hahaha, I'm not sure what you're talking about!>>29729261Definitely SayaKyoko. Those two have impeccable teamwork, which you'll see in the Smash and Grab mission!>>29729264Oh, I did! I'm sorry, I thought I already replied! It was good!>>29729265Kyoko misheard the rumors. They actually have huge dieselpunk bikes with folding-out swords and spears and stuff.
>>29729282Don't trust Curly Fries. She's got an agenda.
>>29729211Will we ever get to asking QB about which PMC's have anti-magic equipment and how effective it is?
>>29729334Can you answer these?>>29729313>>29729316>>29729344
>>29729282Coobs had a personality adjustment in a prior loop.The QBs learned to feel emotion. Starting with pain. and then fear.That said, if QB seems less machiavellian, it's only because he's playing the game on a level that is invisible to people like Chiaki
>>29729342Trust straight fries. No keikaku there.
>>29729307I'm not too sure! I'll think about this one.>>29729313Definitely! But it definitely won't be radioactive or chemically caustic, and Chiaki and crew can easily smuggle it out.>>29729316Easily overpowered, but she can run!Unknown as of the moment!>>29729344Of course!
>>29729374She doesn't have an agenda, she IS an agenda. And I'll trust one of the "acting like a fucking tool but there is more behind that facade" troupe in a billion years maybe, if she's lucky.
>>29729342>She's got an agenda.everyone got an agenda. The question is whether it conflicts with ours.of course, given that our agenda apparently involves the destruction of the universe, it pretty much DOES conflict with everyone elses. Even the other people who want to destroy the universe.
>>29729416Wrong on both counts, the latter since CHiaki obviously wants to prevent it, the former because fucking hell man you expect someone like Sayaka or Kyouko to have an "agenda" that goes beyond the end of the week?
>>29729334That's all I wanted to hear, thanks. I can post it whenever.
>>29728784>PaperworkI like us meeting our girls>[]Catching up with Misaka
>>29729374>AmberI don't like this girl trying to snatch up Sayaka.However, I won't vote against saving her.
>>29729446>CHiaki obviously wants to prevent itIt's been presented as the lesser of two evils.Also, even if their agenda doesn't go beyond the end of the week, it's still an agenda
>>29729334So they have FF7 advent children bikes?
>>29729485>It's been presented as the lesser of two evils.>destroying the entire unverse>ever the lesser evilDo you want to be the hero or just the protagonist?
>>29729211Urgh, we finally get time without her and now chducklefucks voted for more?Really a great waste of time there, can you speed up the "Midori dies leading Chiaki to go loose cannon" plotline?
>>29729562If we don't destroy the universe, someone else (poss Pinky) will and that will somehow be the worse outcome.>not realising that this "universe" is all in the Shield>>29729586>Not realising that we've already had Sayaka Time just last thread, and Kyoko and Mami Time this thread.if you wanna keep an rotation going, it IS Midori time.
Decu has left the building, so same as usual, I'll be your guide until we fall off the board probably.
>>29729485>>29729485I don't really see Sayaka having an agenda in thisKyouko either has an agenda that ends every five minutes when she finds more food or will stretch to the end of time leading to her gaining Homura shield powers to store ALL THE POCKY EVER
>>29729653What happened to Travis was absolute bullshit
>>29729644We have had too much midori timeWe need more anything but midori timeI liked these last two threads because she did not appear at all and holy fuck look how much happened!
>>29729663That's not a question, but it is absolutely true.
>>29729653But Wendy, you are not prepared!
>>29729653What's it gonna take to pull you out of the salt?
>>29729655>I don't really see Sayaka having an agenda in thisAmber, bitch.Were you asleep?
>>29729644>If we don't destroy the universe, someone else (poss Pinky) will and that will somehow be the worse outcome.Try being less of a retard and think more like a writer. There is a direct option that has been suggested but will obviously be ugly and painful, even lethal (that's the 'destroy the universe option). The other is a slim sliver of a chance that one COULDN'T POSSIBLY MAKE AND TRYING WOULD BE FOOLISHNESS ITSELF. The latter option is the right option every fucking single time. Do you even fighting spirit, faggot?
>>29729683Wendy screentime, because I'm a narcissist. Amber screentime close second. NECO screentime...Well, she can stay off-camera for a while long after last time. Yeesh.
>>29729653So Decu approved my writeup, when do I schedule posting it? Do I have to coordinate with him?I wanna do it right, okay. I'm super nervous.
>>29729725Yeah, coordinate with him, make sure he knows about it before chikuwa at least.
>>29729676Eh, it'll be five minutes and then we'll be back to rotation.We've already got scheduled fights with Sayaka and co. It'll happen. I have faith>>29729696And in that option, someone else ends the universe anyway and we still all die. Only more horribly.I've got my eyes open for a solution, but right now I aint seeing one. Just following the clues, dot to dot.
>>29729653Do the incubators come up with the costumes when they recruit the girls?Where do they get all of the costume ideas?Were Incubators the fashion experts in the universe before they went into the whole "save the universe from entropy" shtick?
>>29729745Dildoes already pointed out that killing the Transcendant One does fuck all to actually solve the core Pinky problem.
>>29729688Nope, I just don't see Sayaka actually have an agenda, she is helping out someone she likes and getting her sword fixedShe isn't playing any games to rise through the ranks even though she is now pretty high up and isn't manipulating anything but her life to try and keep things happy as they are which involves her being a botch to 95% of the known and unknown universe
>>29729763The costumes come from the innermost reaches of the girl's heart. That means that yes, Sayaka was always a slut deep down.And they probably were, look at Coobie.
>>29729763It's probably randomly generated based on the girl's personality, wish, etc. Either that or we have some really fabulous incubators.
>>29729745I will be happy when she is out of the rotation entirely
so far I think Chunkbey is one of my favorite incubators, he's just so tubby.desperately need fanart of the incubators.
>>29729745>And in that option, someone else ends the universe anyway and we still all die. Only more horribly.Are... are you literally retarded? Did your mother drop you on your head when you were little, did you drink petrol regularily? Or did you just never before read a single fucking work of literature ever?You know how they say "this will happen when the stars align"? Well this is that time, the stars did align. This is the one-in-a-millon-chance, the last, final loop. It must work here or it would be all for nothing and it's never all for nothing unless in the most shitty of stories.
>>29729828Chunkbey?
>>29729850The fat american one
>>29729805Then you'll never be happy.And that makes me happy.
>>29729828We need an incubator roomba race pictureEightball on his blinged out roomba, chunkbey hanging over the edges, australiabey riding a crocodile roomba etc
>>29729839Noir, motherfucker.
>>29729862The fat one is the Canadian one.
>>29729868Not necessarilyShe has died once, I am just biding ky time until she bites it again
>>29729862That's the Canadian one. 8-Ball, the American Incubator, is all blinged out. You're thinking of the Incubator of the 17th.He probably controls the strategic maple syrup reserves of Canada to get that fat.
>>29729871What fooled you into thinking this was a noir story anywhere around the last 160 threads?Protip: noir does not mean stupid grimderp, it means being a shining beacon of hope in a sea of madness and corruption. Sound familiar?
>>29729898So you want to make another retarded choice.I suppose you're in good company, then.
>>29729839You're not guaranteed a happy ending with Noir.Go watch Sunset Blvd and get back to me about a happy ending being necessary for a work to be fucking amazing.
>>29729934Non-happy endings of whatever permutation are pretty great at ripping on the heartstrings even if it's just a cheap shot at drama, yeah. The issue is that the payoff still need be there, a sucess, anything that validates the struggles of the protagonist even if he dies. If it's just wham ur ded it#s shit, and if it isn't I can't see everything going to shit.
>>29729924Only the finest
>>29729913Bad ends are not an essential component of Noir, either. It happens in many Noir stories, but not in all of them. Now, would you say that hard-boiled is a necessary part of noir, or simply a tendency because noir came from hard-boiled stories?
>>29729913Sounds like Pinky
>>29730002I like to think we can still flirt with the possibility of both occasionally without being called retarded
>>29730002I namechecked Sunset Blvd for a reason. Watch it if you haven't already.
>>29730002It depends on the framework and the general tone of the story but I do not believe that hard-boiled has to be there. After all, that would limit the scope of protagonists extremely and that just won't do, will it.Practically speaking, this sums it up the best:>But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. The detective in this kind of story must be such a man. He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.[...]>The story is his adventure in search of a hidden truth, and it would be no adventure if it did not happen to a man fit for adventure.That's Raymond Chandler btw. What you need for a noir story is someone who's Good (or at least Neutral) in an Evil world, driven and willing to pull that off no matter the cost.
