"Ah, Matsuda. You're awake, finally." You haven't heard this voice in a while, but the way it sidesteps your own thoughts to be heard in your mind is as annoying as ever. "I was beginning to think you'd be spending the night here in my office. Personally, I wouldn't mind, but it seems such a waste for the new apartment I've furnished for you."

You look around for any sign of the furry little bastard in the wide, spacious office, one hand reaching up to surreptitiously wipe away the crusted drool on the corner of your lips. It's then that you see it - a rather well-maintained cat tower, at the very corner of the office, cleverly positioned in an unlit area. You don't make any move to go toward it, but you're pretty sure you could see a pair of crimson eyes twinkling your way from inside one of the cat tower's 'rooms'.

"No need to get up, Matsuda. I'm just trying to unwind at the moment. Stressful meeting." And for some reason, you believe him - the usually cool, collected voice has a bit of a strained note to it, a jittery tone. "Welcome back, in any case. I trust Siberia's been a productive vacation, all in all?"

How do you respond?

>>24237417

"Why do you care?"

Remember that we asked for a new apartment way back during the Iori assignment for various reasons. I guess Coobie finally came through on that, even if late.

Also, hahaha, cat tower!

"Aside from the whole 'attacked by satan bears, going insane with a sword and stabbing my Callidus, having another Incubator detonate his magical girl's soul gem in face, getting my soul split into 4 separate parts, having one of those parts want to murder the other three, dealing with Kharn the Betrayer living up to her title, and getting perved on by that fucking siscon science freak, sure.
By the way, I want to murder Jyuubey. Tell me that this is a thing that I am allowed to do now."

I'm beginning to think that doing business might be some sort of drug to their race or something.

I mean, Sanbey was all like "Fuck entropy. Money is more fun."

>>24237504
To be honest though, we didn't deal with Kharn, Midori did.
And Souji is not a siscon, and he hardly perved on us. Judging by his girlfriend (now probably his fiancée) we're nowhere near his type.
And I think it's more important that we find out who's on the outs with the other Incubators, Kyuubey or Jyuubey. That will determine if we're going to be attacked or if we're going on the attack.

>>24237600
That is really a reasonable way to explain it
Coobie just balances business with entropy

Kyuubey seems to blink from inside his hideaway, before poking his head out in that madly-curious way that all felines seem to have. "As usual, Matsuda, your powers of summarization never fail to surprise me. Yes, I suppose your stay in Siberia was much too eventful to be called a vacation, but despite this, you seem to have turned out perfectly alright from it. Looking much more intact and put-together, if I may say so."

He shrinks back inside the hidey-hole. "As for my brother, well, we'll discuss that in a later time. Yes, I do realize that retaliation is something that should be expected of us, in this line of work - and what happened does offer some degree of justification to the entire thing - but we will go about it professionally and properly, as I've always strived for this Officio." A moment. "Which, of course, had often fallen on the wayside due to Kharn's tenure as Warmaster, but I have high hopes for you, at least, Matsuda. I look forward to having a Warmaster who's not that eager to call a full mobilization simply because of an easily-forgivable misunderstanding."

Another moment.

"...I realize the irony of making that assumption a moment after I remembered your incident with the Third." Kyuubey lets out a sigh. "The meeting must have affected me more than I thought. Although, I suppose, teleportation to the Lunar Base always does that. I could never get used to it."

The Incubator clears his throat, here - or at least, makes a sound approximating one, seeing as he doesn't really need to do so. "And yes, your new apartment. You were quite adamant on being supplied a new one, after what happened with Kure's retirement." A small metal card, the size of a credit card, shimmers into existence on top of the desk, briefly outlined in crimson light.

>>24237417

There is only one answer to that and you guys know it:

"Where is Midori?"

>>24237800

"Mitakihara Heights Tower One, Sixth Floor, Condominium Unit 665. Upper City District, and I made sure that certain establishments are well within reach. As always, the Warmaster Suite in this building is also available for your pleasure, although you'll have to clean it out first. I don't think it's been touched since Kharn left it."

A small chuckle. "Her underwear collection should still be there, along with her rather macabre throne. You're free to have some of the girls help you in this endeavor if you wish."

How do you respond?

>>24237816
"And my aide?"

>>24237816

Thank him for it.

He'll never see it coming.

Also tell him what his fake counterpart said. About running a ramen store as a hobby.

>>24237826

Pack the underwear collection and send it to Siberia.

>>24237826

Yes. Also I'm impressed that QB knows of Kharn's underwear collection. She wasn't discreet with her trophies, was she..

Well, so much for reviewing for my Finals. Totally worth it though.

Kyoko. Midorin will take all the 'keep Murderface presentable' tasks and the red one can focus on the actual work and being our right hand.

Theres the elephant we have yet to touch.

Should we tell Kyuubey about the warning?

With his attachment to Mami, he might not hesitate to order a hit on Misaka.

>>24237816
[x]*Eyebrow twitch* "Have someone ship Kharn's belongings to her, and then have a cleaning crew run through the suite. Twice."

We promised kyoko we'll speak to Sayaka first.

>>24237840
>She wasn't discreet with her trophies, was she..
I wouldn't be surprised if she started wearing a different trophy panty on her head until Malal scolded her.

>>24237894
I think we should.

The prophet could be referring to fucking anybody, and the warning itself could be fake or self-fulfilling.

>>24237900

This. Without the eyebrow twitch.

Also, we still need to talk to Sayaka. Personally, I think if Sayaka has any misgivings at all, we should give Kyouko a pass and go with Midori. Sayaka's going to be our rank leader for the Eversors so I'd rather not get into a leadership fight at the start of our tenure as Warmaster.

>>24237914

She probably wore them as sleeping masks.

Send it to Siberia and post it as throphy of war. Also let's see what poor magical girls were part of this collection as possible leverage for later.

>>24237914

I'd think she put them on display with the dates and durations of her conquests written on cards next to them.

>>24237816

"*easily-forgivable misunderstanding*, my ass. He turned a Magical Girl, one of his OWN Magical Girls no less into a Witch via button-pressing.

The Question that now goes through my mind, is every Incubator able to that and if so, what would happen to the Officios Worldwide and their Population of Magical Girls if word got out that not only do the Incubators fuck you over with your wish, no they also can end the contract on their side whenever they grow tired of you.

What do YOU think would happen, Kyubey?

Yeah, yeah, I get it, the hole heat-death of the Universe-part, the Sacrifice of the few for the many and what not, I also get that most Incubator don`t tell us that were part of the harvest not the witches.

But turning your own contractees into witches via Self-Destruction-Button is completly and utterly unacceptable and if one of you furry little abominations decides to do that again, I WILL find a way to kill all you little mongrels and I WILL kill you all, even if I have to sell my soul to that pink-haired black-eyed monstrosity."

We should be MAD now. Mad with Righteous Fury.

Sell the panty collection on eBay.

>>24237903
Weren't we also going to promote Sayaka to lead Eversor or whatever?

>>24237894
wouldn't that'd imply explaining to kyuubey how Faust is directly influencing us?

>>24237890
>>24237890
I'm not exactly keen on Midori becoming the Aide to the Warmaster. One, since she's a defector from a rival Officio as opposed to having been part of the Ninth from the start. Second, she's greener (no pun intended) than either Kyoko, Mami or Sayaka.

I'm casting my vote on either Mami or Kyoko.

>>24237816
Midori and I will have to organize that I suppose, I wonder if Kharn would like her things shipped out to her or if her boyfriend would disapprove.

>>24237816
I say we make the throne our office chair. That or send it to Siberia along with Kharn's trophies.

Also, do politely thank him and asks if he wants anything or anything we should know about.

"We need to talk later. There are some things I want to know about Siberia. For now, thanks for te new place."

Guys, we still need to discover what's hidden under the Siberia lab. In character, I mean.

>>24237943
I'd like to second this but with MUCH less hostility.

Pointing out to Kyuubey that this whole shitstorm could RUIN the Incubator's credibility and trustworthiness among their own staff could set some serious gears in motion.

>>24237951

But we've already told him about faust and kyuubey's actually been killed by her before.

>>24237816
"Thank you.
"I will have cleaning crews take care of it. I am concerned about Mami's safety.
"The Tenth is likely to escalate, and Mami is our Officio's most famous member. I expect him to try something.
"Is there anything else we need to discuss?"

>>24237957

HEATHEN.

>>24237950
That depends on whether or not Sayaka will consent to Kyoko becoming Aide.

>>24238015
Hey, I'm just throwing out possible candidates. I'm sure we can take Kyouko if you're that keen on Chiaki still being able to indulge.

>>24238019

Grief seeds are witches eggs, they said that in the second episode.

>>24238008
Thats why I said with less hostility in my seconding.

I don't think the 'we can mindcontrol you and turn you into a fucking bomb against your will' was in the disclosure.

>>24238019

It's been a while since I last saw PMMM, so I'm not 100% on this.

But Sayaka and Madoka found Charlotte's seed before it "hatched". It had enough power to manifest a Barrier and familiars, but Charlotte wasn't born until later.

Might be the case with Faust too. Moon-sized Grief Seed is enough for her to check up on us and give out Golden Weapons, but not enough for her to manifest physically... until it hatches.

>>24237957
That's why some people thought of having multiple aides, Midori for logistics and the more social part of being Warmaster, Kyoko as personal bodyguard and Sayaka for combat support and to keep us from going full "Flesh of fallen angels" on the wrong people. Kyoko and Sayaka are a 2-pack you take one the other one is "free".

Except the part where we don`t actually now that.

We know that QB did it once.

What we don`t know however if this is his usual approach nor if this is also how other Incubators handle it.
I´m also pretty sure that the "I can blow up your soulgem and turn you into a witch"-is pretty new and horrifying knowledge to every Meguca in existence.

I mean, just think about how it turns the table: Before it was either death due to getting killed in Action by witches or you witching out due to despair/overexertion. But now there is one Incubator who can turn his Megucas into Magical Suicide-Bombers. And we know that this is already the second time he did that.

I mean, why do YOU think there was suddenly a witch out of nowhere in Mami`s Apartment who happened to be also one Jyubeys Girls?

>>24238087
We'll have to ask QB if that's negotiable. I like the idea though.

>>24237943
>>24237966
>>24238025

I'm quite sure the "misunderstanding" he's talking about is the one during Kharn's time as warmaster in which we slaughtered 3 Eversor (?) squads because they were going to betray us.

>>24238120
Actually, because one of them said they were going to rape Mami.

>>24238120
Actually we slaughtered them brutally for threatening Mami

That did boil over into the event with Ahriman though so he could be referencing either or both

>>24238113
In one of the earlier threads he said it's doable, but he didn't quite like the fact that we're taking his two best eversors and one of the few callidus for ourselves, that is not to say that the request has been shut down.

Add in that QB said that the Tenth is considered a bit of a maverick among the Incubators, and it doesn't sound like the others use the kill-switches. If they did, we wouldn't have to go and 'retire' employees about to jump ship or go rogue.

>>24238138

I think killing our whole squad (including ourselves) and then raping Mami can be considered quite the betrayal.

We want Kyouko and she won't come without Sayaka. Midori already is ours he should just be pleased we aren't taking Mami as well

Agree to disagree then. We'll take all three if it's possible or just Midori if Sayaka shoots us down.

>>24238087
>>24238144
>>24238170
I don't think taking Sayaka as well is a good idea. For one, she'll hate being our underling. Two, she'll distract Kyoko while on the job. Three, we need someone we know to run shit in the officio itself. Head Eversor or whatever fits the bill nicely.

>>24238107
When did QB ever take Direct Control over a puella, or use a kill-switch?
And have you forgotten how we retire fellow magical girls when the order comes down?

>>24238204
Sayaka is very professional while on the job as is Kyouko to a degree

She won't hate being our underling so much as she just hates us which we can deal with

And she will be the voice of reason that we actually listen to out of anyone

>>24238204

Well we are going to talk with Sayaka at one point. We can see if she can suppress her rage at us if there is a job that needs doing. If she can't then we shouldn't get her as an aide.

>>24238192
>>24238107
So is there really an OVA or are these just fanworks?

>>24238221
He could just be holding that as an ace up his sleeve.

>>24238192

Looking at that image, it's a bit disturbing to think that Yuma is reading Midori's hentai doujins, let alone think that she's a big fan of them.

That aside, we should have the green girls meet. Might be enough to get Yuma out of the funk that Kyouko said she's found herself in.

Not entirely sure but I think Sayaka IS the head Eversor. Sayaka's and Kyoko's jobs are mostly KILL MAIM BURN.
That said, Sayaka is also there to make sure we don't do stupid shit that can escalate very quickly into all out war, slap us upside the head when taking unnecessary risks involving Kyoka, Midori and pretty much everyone else.

And as >>24238233 said, be the voice of reason in general, Kyouko is also keeping her in check to not be a complete pain in the ass.
And I have a feeling our standing might have improves slightly after the butler outfit photo and the soulgem tip. I'm not expecting a radical change or anything, but I doubt we'll wake up with a knife in the back anytime soon like what happened at Mami's place in the first thread(s?)

We called Kyubey once while at Siberia. He said he intended to make Sayaka the Eversor Leader, and Kyoouko was going to be her Second.

He was surprised when we asked for both of them for our personal retinue.

It's not entirely a bad thing. Malal was Culexus Leader and Warmaster Aide, so there's that as precedent.

Then again, she was exceptional.

>>24238339
Not to mention the who sword thing was an accident in the first place, just that she was a jerk about it so people meme'd it into an intentional thing.

More like we didn't have Sayaka's side of the story for it so we all just thought it was intentional until the recap thread.

>>24238394
What we need less is a retinue, and more squad leaders. You don't always need a powerful retinue.

You DO need a retinue that can run away effectively, though, if they're not powerful in themselves, and that can handle burecracy and handling people.

(Midori fits the first role of being sneaky, not so sure on the second parts, though)

We've already thrown the idea of having both of them work for us past Kyubey, and Kyouko wanted us to ask Sayaka first, so throwing the idea past Kyubey again without doing so isn't going to accomplish much.

We still have some time to fully decide and talk to bluehair first, so we don't need to rush on this entire thing, if something comes up we definitely still have a small retinue of helpers even though nothing has been made official yet.

>>24238443
What? Don't be silly. That was just Mami...hallucinating. Misremembering.

Yes.

Every meguca can be related with, quite honestly, and has understandable reasons behind her actions and attitude.
It's just that with some (such as Sayaka) it takes a while longer to see.
[/meta]

We are new and more complete now. So let's forget the old drudges and give her a chance to do the same.

We should also apologise for giving her a kyubeykakke.

>>24238452
The sad thing is that Mami thing pretty much has every perfect skill for being an aide, it's just that she might be a bit distracting for us to have someone who mothers us in the role, plus Kyubey would be sad at us taking away his lap pillow.

As for stability, Mami's older and more mature now, and even back then she seemed a lot hardier about being a magical girl than Sayaka.

The problem of her golden weapon or her being assassinated, though.................

>>24238480
I think Mami should be left in an advisory role/left to act as QB's secretary. It's probably better for everyone, plus it's not as though we won't have access to her as a resource. And she'll probably foot some of the paperwork whether she's our aide or not.

>>24238500
>paperwork
Would Warmaster suite happen to have a fireplace? We should install one if it doesn't.

>>24238479
Our constant love for Mami and hatred for Sayaka came as a bonus for fucking with time, much like our amnesia... Actually I think that came from too much torture when we switched timelines and got rescued. Yes, we need to have a talk with Kyouko and Sayaka about that whole thing.

"Your...aide?" Kyuubey's voice takes on an inquisitive tone, as he finally squeezes himself out of one of the cat tower's hidey-holes - before clambering up slowly and carefully to the perch at the very top of the pet accessory, easily balancing himself there and then turning to look at you.

"Ah, you must mean Hanegawa Midori. She is currently recuperating in sick bay. From what I've been told, it looks as though she'd suffered an entire month's worth of sleep deprivation, dehydration, and other ailments you probably needn't hear from me. Barrier sickness, nothing serious. Time does move differently in barriers, even more when you're in an overlapping one. She will be discharged in a day or two, you may depend upon it."

The Incubator tilts it head slightly to the side. "Speaking of which, though, Matsuda. Does that mean you've decided on taking Hanegawa on as an aide? I distinctly remember you wanting to have both Sakura Kyoko and Miki Sayaka for aides, as well. Not unheard of, of course - the former Warmaster of the Eighth had three aides of her own, although she called them in more colorful names than that." A moment. "I do believe that Miki Sayaka does have something to say about it, first, so you may want to breach the matter with her personally before you make your official decision."

You take the metallic passcard to your new apartment and tap it carefully on the desk in front of you. Doesn't Sayaka have something to say about everything, anyway?

"She is of the outspoken, opinionated sort, so yes. But she is strong-minded, sharp, and quite astute for an Eversor. If anything, you might want to consider a special role for her, if you do take her in as an aide."

A special role...?

[1/2]

>>24238500

So basically be our psychologist after pinky fucks with our mind, again. I like this, I like this very much. And hopefully after telling her about pinky and her connection to the golden weaponry we should increase our chances of saving her by a ton.

>>24238581

"Equerry. The Equerry is the rank closest to the Warmaster. She is above all others except for the Warmaster's personal aides, the Warmaster herself, and the presiding Incubator. She can advise the Warmaster, fight alongside her if she wishes, or even act as her in her stead should the Warmaster be absent or indisposed. She can also help the Warmaster make the decisions necessary to lead an Officio." Kyuubey's tail flicks from side to side as he explains.

"The rank is martial, never one of servitude, although...Kharn certainly made a secretary of HER Equerry. Although, I rather think she preferred it that way. The Equerry, I meant. Kharn has never been one to concern herself with the details."

Another moment of silence passes between the two of you.

"...Please do not mistake this as this Incubator's clumsy way of trying to ensure that his top Eversor officer and his Warmaster do not spend all day trying to find out what color each other's intestines are." He says after a moment. "This is frank and cold-blooded manipulation with no regard to your well-being, or sanity, or company stock. I assure you of this."

...He's getting sarcastic again. You hate it when he does that.

No!

>>24238626

"Ahriman?" Kyuubey seems puzzled for a moment, before blinking. "Ah. The former Warmaster of the Third. Yes, I was expecting Kharn to talk to you about her exploits." For a moment, it looked very much like the Incubator was hesitating.

"I'm afraid that I have nothing to tell you about it other than the fact that we don't know where it is, Matsuda. Kharn's Equerry conducted the search herself, an hour after her injuries were taken care of. She was adamant that it was found, but it seemed to have disappeared the moment Ahriman let go of it."

So it's gone, then? And nobody knows who has it?

"There hasn't been any sighting of it, even from the other Officios. At least, those who still deign to reply to us in a civilized manner." It's here that Kyuubey sounds disappointed. Crestfallen, almost. "Well, I'm sure it will turn up sooner or later. We will simply have to deal with it as it comes, and hope that it won't come to another bloodbath when it does."

Right. Now, about that moon base--

[1/2]

>>24239406

Aw. Looks like Kyuubey could do with a cuddle.

>>24239406
Decu, pls... The Chair!

>>24239406
>At least, those who still deign to reply to us in a civilized manner
Time to teach those fucks about manners. With axe, fire and golden DEagle.

>>24239406
Prophet has Ahriman's staff. Possibly with Ahriman inside it.

>>24239429

We could do that with the "Thank you", just to really screw with Kyuubey.

>>24239406

"It's not ours." Kyuubey cuts you off. "We have a part in it, that much is sure, but it serves mainly as the base of operations of the First Officio. It also serves as an outpost, from where we can safely observe the Grief Seed of Faust."

It's here that his tone becomes slightly bitter.

"Only Incubators and the Warmaster of the First Officio are allowed access to it, so do not feel slighted, Matsuda. Besides, once I go insane, you will be among the first that I will send in order to capture it for our use."

That's comforting.

"I knew you would appreciate it."

Right. Now, what about your chair?

"You mean that chair you stole?" Kyuubey seems to be almost smirking. "Integrated into your new apartment, as I believe you'll be pleased to note. Tomoe Mami oversaw the preparations personally, and her words, as I remember it, describe it as something that 'really ties the room together'. She also made sure to organize your firearm cache into something approaching a proper armory, rather than just stacks of ordnance haphazardly stored in flammable crates."

[2/3]

>>24239486

Mami's just too good for you. You make a note to thank her later.

You watch as Kyuubey finally hops off the perch, landing neatly on all four feet - before making his way towards his desk, the desk that you've been rendered unconscious on earlier. He jumps up again, easily clearing the height of the desk, and he sits back on his haunches as if to survey the damage you've done to his workspace.

"...I'll have to get Housekeeping to see to this later." You hear him mumble to himself, before he places a paw on the bouquet of blue roses. "Now, I've satisfied your curiosity, Matsuda, satisfy mine. What are these for? I recall that roses of the red variety are mainly used for purposes of romance, but I've never seen blue roses used before. What is the context of these, may I ask?"

How do you respond?

>>24239493

Oh dear.

I'm drawing a complete blank.

>>24239493
In my case,a practical joke and thanks for someone.

>>24239493

>>24239493
Silly Kyuubey, girls don't give red roses to other girls. That's forbidden love.

Wait, weren't we getting the roses as a shameless exploitation of the popularity of Miracle Midori/Murder Mayumi?

>>24239517

And once that's done, either go check up on Midori or go search for Sayaka. Need to get those done with.

>>24239538

Giving him a scare might be fun!

>>24239523

Also:
"Is there something about Malal that I should know, Kyubey?"

>>24239493
"Psychological warfare involving human relationship quirks. I think. Should be fun."

>>24239493

um......

"Midori's idea"

Technically it was her manga gave us the idea.

>>24239538

I'd rather not...

>>24239545
Actually it is a shameless exploitation of the official girls reading that and us wanting to troll them a bit

>>24239548
Yes push him on Malal

>>24239493
"Its an act of good will towards my coworkers. "

>>24239493

Screw with the cat, smile and say that it's for him as thanks.

>>24239493
While we explain the roses to him, we should go ahead with the hug and thank you to him. Maybe some Petting too.

>>24239545

Yes.

And to make them stop and stare and little and maybe even squee.

>>24239517
I like this one. Also ask if he might know where we can get jet pilots/ tank crews from time to time.

We could just explain what the blue roses mean.

>>24239721

We could mindfuck him and explain that it represents our subconscious, long buried, insatiable, and unfulfillable lust for Sayaka. Or they could just be a nice color and we know jack about colors, so asking her the meaning beyond 'they're pretty flowers' is pointless.

Guys, I just realized that the OP image says we only have 3 golden weapons. Our DEagle, the sword and the gauntlets. Do you know what that means? Either it's not updated, or the wielder must die for us to "own" the weapons.

>>24239892

Decu wouldn't do that to us. right?

>>24239892
I wish I had an edit button. Yes I'm implying we might have to kill Kharn to be able to use the chainsaws.

>>24239892
>>24239907
Or because we have yet to open the crate and go have a little soul chat with whatever is inside them we don't count as having them

>>24239892

The rest are probably still being held in that huge suitcase/crate that was sent along with Chiaki and Midori.

>>24239913
I can only hope that to be true.

>>24239918

Meaning all that's counted so far is what's currently in our personal inventory?

Remember Siberia?

So mildly offtopic, I find a great deal of importance in quickly figuring out who our new neighbor is, in room 666, or if we don't do it quickly, never investigating.

>>24239517 >>24239513 >>24239602

"A joke. I...see." Kyuubey grows silent at this, as if in deep contemplation. "I understand. Yes, well, it's nothing compared to the jokes that Kharn perpetrated in her tour of duty as Warmaster. Filling Vindicare lockers with toothpaste, stealing underwear and wearing them on her head, skull puppet shows...not very tasteful, very puerile jokes that always had someone in tears at the end. This seems relatively harmless, and quite fragrant."

You see him take a sniff of one particular blossom. "Ah, excellent crop. You either have good taste or bought from a flower shop with a halfway-competent florist." He nods at this, before turning back to you. "In any case, Matsuda, do not let me detain you. I've quite the backlog, as I'm sure you do as well." The Incubator seems to catch your eye as you look down at the mess you've made of his desk. "Don't bother picking up after yourself, Housekeeping will take care of it. You can take your roses with you, however, as I'm sure you need them for that joke of yours."

You do so, after making sure to place the passcard of your new apartment in your inventory. Kyuubey immediately occupies his leather chair as soon as you vacate it, the mutant cat resting right on the spot where you'd sat.

...Clever little bastard.

You make to leave, but something catches at your subconscious. Something strange about the conversation you had with Kyuubey just now. You point this out to him, and the Incubator takes a few moments to respond.

"...There isn't anything to tell about Malal that I'm sure Kharn hasn't told you," He replies in his usual dulcet tones, although the faint hint of tension is there. "I refrain from speaking about her because I find that it is easier to forget." Kyuubey turns away. "I will say, however, that she was my greatest triumph as an Incubator - and at the same time, my biggest failure."

...It was that bad?

[1/2]

>>24239978

It's Pinky.

She's going to be our neighbor in room 666.

>>24240026
>skull puppet shows
I'm not saying do this now, but at SOME point...

I have this feeling that our new apartment is close to where Iori will get her 'date' with that bastard. If it is, we can surely rescue her from his claws.

>>24240026

"Is it so surprising for me to say that?" The Incubator turns towards you, blinking. "Contrary to what we usually display, Matsuda, we do have emotions of our own. We simply try to remove them from the equation as much as we can when business is at stake. When decisions need making."

Well, it's not your fault Incubators have a rap of being souless, furry little satans, then.

"Perhaps. I will dwell on that. But I am not concealing anything about Malal that you may find useful in the future, Matsuda. Trust me on that at least."

You'll try.

"I suppose that is the best I can hope for from my Warmaster. very well, Matsuda, don't let me detain you."

You nod at this, before finally leaving. Outside, Kyoko seems to be snoozing on the receptionist's chair - but she snaps awake the moment you come within five paces of her. Nearly falling off the chair doing so.

"Gwah? Ngh." Kyoko barely manages to come across as intelligible, before she shakes her head and slaps both her cheeks. "Wake up, wake up," She grumbles, before standing up, a sleepy grin baring her teeth as she sees you. "O-oh, hey, Murderface! How'd it go with the boss?" She yawns as she steps around the desk to meet you. "Just gonna report that those Golden Thingies are in your own personal lockdown vault downstairs." She gives you another passcard, this time a completely-black metal one. "Kyuubey's told me to show the place to you anytime you want to. Oh, and your new apartment, too. I'm supposed to drive you there so you know where it actually is."

"Hahaha! Sorta like that, I suppose!" Kyoko grins. "Oh, I guess I can drive you to my apartment! Sayaka's there now, if you want to get that talk with her out of the way." There's a rather plaintive note to the red-haired Eversor's voice, here, as if she wants you to choose that particular route. "Oh, and, um. Remember that idol chick?"

...Yeah?

"Says she wants you to visit her ASAP. Nearly screamed my ear off remindin' me." Kyoko frowns at this. "Ah, why can't you score with someone mellow n' shit, Murderface? Like Oriko, or something. Well, not her, of course, she hates your guts," she adds hastily, "...but someone less...intense in that kinda way."

You'll...think about it. Although, really, she's one to talk.

Good idea, lets go raid the vault like a true adventurer.

>>24240256

Go talk with Sayaka. This should be our first priority right now.

We should also send Iori a text telling her we're back in Japan and that we're swamped with official business. We'll visit as soon as we're clear.

Polite enough to let her know she's still under our Officio's protection, but that we're not going to rush off just because she insisted.

Text Iori that we got her message, and that we will see her as soon as Office work is done.
Then we'll see her.

We owe Kyoko this much at least, after all the shit we made her endure on our behalf.

>>24240256
What if Iori wants to tell us she's getting married? See, all the more reason to visit her first.

>>24240256

This one

>>24240543

>>24240462
It really wouldn't. We need to see her or ignore her.

>>24240357
Mixed signals are a go!

>>24240571
>Ask Kyoko to take us to Sayaka.

I bet Sayaka's finally going to crack and say something like, "Did you know that we're supposed to be fictional characters in some story? Did you know there are parallel worlds out there?"

>>24240256
[x] Drive to visit Kyouko, on the way text Iori that we'll see her after we get back from work business

Rolled 6, 11, 13, 7, 1, 3, 11, 18, 12, 2, 13, 9, 5, 8, 15, 16, 20, 20 = 190

>>24240603
The parallel worlds part we know because of timeline-hopping that we got memories of.

Guys, the vault is right under us, downstairs. Grab our weapons of doom now and we won't need to visit the office anytime soon.

>>24240451
this made my day

[x] Vault then Sayaka.

Eh, they'll end up with us anyway when we need them. The DEagle and the Katana have this way of showing up when necessary. I'm sure it's fine.

Right?

Anyhow:

1. Check up on Midori.
2. Go talk to Sayaka.

Who knows? Maybe we can set up a Sayaka flag or something. Hahaha!

...Yeah, right.

>>24240645
What about those _other_ parallel worlds with spaceships, killer cyborgs and that tyrannical world government?

>>24240664
>Won't need to visit the office
Bitch, this OUR Office now. We are not going to avoid surveying our kingdom.

I think we should set our priorities straight.

1. [x] Go see Midori
2. [x] Meet Sayaka
3. [x]Go to Vault
4 [x] Sit in Comfy chair
5. [x] Drill on your nose
6. [x] Take a dump
7 [x] Polish Weapons
8. [x]Do nothing
.

...
....
999. [x] Go visit Iori.

>>24240746

aren't we still in training? we're not lord and master yet.

>>24240767
I can agree with this.

>>24240776
No, we were to become the Warmaster upon our return from Siberia.

>>24240729
Yeah, but we don't "own" them yet. As >>24239913 said, we might have to chat a bit with the weapons to get ownership and such

>>24240767
Was ist dir?

>>24240776

Training is over. We're just missing the ratification. We ARE Warmaster. It's just not official yet.

>>24240810
Pretty much this. It's like that period between an old monarch dieing and the heir being crowned.

>>24240767
I disagree with your priorities as Iori is still a client of this Office, and we will be a more professional Warmaster than Kharn.

>>24240828
with less succession crisis

>>24240767
Guys, the vault IS JUST DOWNSTAIRS. It would be a lot faster to goto the vault and then everything else, well except Midori, gotta see that Midori

Hail to the Queen of Dakka, bitches.

>>24240850
And what would we pick up? The Golden Weapons? The ones that magically appear in our inventory when we reach for them regardless of if we want them there?

>>24240863

sweet merciful fuck, that's great!

>>24240889
The point is there might be things there that our predecessor left. And proximity.

[] Midori
[] Vault
[]never Iori

>>24240767
Don't we need to see Yuma at some point for that box-thing that malal gave us?

>>24240889
Yes, the chainsaws specifically. Why? Because we never touched them, so technically they still belong to Kharn and won't appear in our inventory. The OP image also only highlights 3 weapons: Our DEagle, the katana and the gauntlets.

You decide to have Kyoko take you to your personal lockdown vault for now, but after a quick detour to sick bay, to pay a visit to Midori. Kyoko grins at this, but doesn't say anything as the both of you make your way there. You earn more than your lion's share from the night shifters you pass by - it's almost like clockwork, how they glanced at you, doing a double-take - before finally gawking at the bouquet of blue roses resting on your shoulder.

Some of them blushed a full crimson, stopping right in their tracks and stuttering greetings, while others shyly asked if they could snap a photo of you. Before you could frown at them and decline, however, Kyoko had nudged the prospective photographer aside, cheerfully yet brusquely telling them that you were on important business, and that you mustn't be held up.

You asked her about this, just outside Midori's room. What was that all about?

"Huh? Oh, you know, just trying it out, being an aide kinda deal," Kyoko seems to be tickled pink at this, clearly enjoying herself. "It's the truth anyhow, isn't it? You're on important business, and it's not like we have all night for it."

Well, that's true, but--

"Ah, I don't remember you being this fussy, Murderface. Man, what'd they do to you in Siberia?" Kyoko pats your shoulder. "Come on, it's okay to relax your shoulders a bit more, you know!" It's then that she pushes you towards the door leading to Midori's room. "Now, go on, get in there, do your thing with the flowers. Do your best Murder Mayumi impersonation or somethin' - hell, just be yourself, that's accurate enough."

What? But how did she--

"Friend reads it, alongn with the rest of the freakin' Eversors," Kyoko hisses. "Now go!"

...Fine, fine. She didn't need to be so pushy.

[1/2]

>>24240960

You enter Midori's room quietly. She's...well, she looks alright, thankfully. You were expecting the worst - the Callidus hooked up to tubes and such. The only tube she seems to be connected to is an IV drip, and she seems to be fast asleep on her bed.

"Matsuda-sempai..." You hear her murmur in her sleep. "P-please stop teasing me..."

Well, now. It seems that Midori's having a strange dream about you.

You're pretty glad Kyoko's not around to hear this.

What do you do?

[]Put the bouquet of blue roses on her bedstand.
[]Place a single rose on her pillow, put the rest back in inventory.
[]Listen to her dreaming for a while.
[]Do nothing and leave. She needs to rest.

>>24240968

Over the course of her service, she will accrue more.

[x] Iori because I don't see any reason not to other than "not wanting to deal with her"

>>24240968
>[]Place a single rose on her pillow, put the rest back in inventory.
Oh god the hilarity

>>24240968

Listen.

>>24240968
>[x]Place a single rose on her pillow, put the rest back in inventory.

Maybe take some care to ensure that she won't roll over it (and its thorns) if she moves around.

>>24240968
[x]Leave flowers on the table, whisper something weird in her ear before leaving.
