You are a Magical Girl, and it's been a long day. A very long day.

And it's not even over yet.

It started off well enough. You managed to reach a civil agreement with Miki Sayaka without either of you trying to stab each other in the face. You managed to delegate this week's high-profile missions and make some important decisions without embarrassing yourself too much. You got your new office on the way to being straightened out. You managed to cheer up a bedridden Callidus, and even cleared the air - mostly - with an idol without too much drama.

You managed to do all those things without pulling a gun or someone. Some - including yourself - would say that this is the closest thing to you not resorting to that one-size-fits-all solution for a span of time longer than ten minutes.

And it was going all so well, too. You'd very nearly gone a day being...responsible. Being diplomatic. You were beginning to think that this Warmaster thing wouldn't be so bad.

Now this. While having a drink with one of your subordinates, you received a strange package out of nowhere. A box, all taped up nice and tight, with your name written on it. Generally cautious with this sort of thing, you opened it while stopping time in its tracks - Pinky looking over your shoulder as you did, being the same insane eldritchian nightmare she usually is.

And surprising no one, it's a head. A severed human head of a girl, mutilated beyond recognition. Five words painfully familiar to you carved crudely into its forehead. Eyes torn out, revealing hollow pockets of blood and gouged flesh. A challenge, maybe? A warning? Or just someone fucking with you?

[1/2]

Shoot him. In the face.

Then apologise, but only sullenly.

>>25152887

Never mind that whoever sent you this package made the girl look like Tomoe Mami before sending it to you - dyeing her hair the same shade of blonde, teasing it into the same curls. Even having her wear a copy of the flower brooch Mami always wore. No, you're not even upset about that, now that you've confirmed that Mami was still safe and sound (she was having tea with Sayaka at the time).

What's upset you is that the person who did this - whoever it is - knew enough about you to do something like this. Worse still, the words that they'd carved into the poor girl's face meant that they were familiar with the Golden Weapons. With what's happening to you. And everyone who knew about that was either a close personal acquaintance, freezing in Siberia, or dead.

...You've never wanted to shoot someone in the face as badly as you wanted to now.

You'd stuffed the box - head and everything - into your inventory, just after promising Pinky to bring her some of Mami's pancakes next time you made the natural progression of time your bitch. She merely pouted at this, before grumbling about how she'll be waiting - and then faded into nothing as you turned away. Still in frozen time, you ran out of the bar, looking for anyone who resembled the courier earlier. ...No dice, not even after you've ran a couple of blocks. You even checked the cars, to see if they'd snuck into one. Your Shield was clicking frantically, nearly red-hot by the time you'd finished. There was no trace of him - as if he'd disappeared.

You disengaged your Shield and walked back to the bar, your mood black as you met a nonplussed Charles and a baffled Kumatora in the middle of her second glass of strawberry milk. She'd asked where you went, or what was in the package you'd been holding earlier - you merely shook your head and asked her to finish her drink, as you needed to get to the Officio right away.

[2/3]

>>25152895

She didn't ask about the bloodstains on your skirt, although you saw her eyes flicking down towards it. Smart girl.

The drive was quick, and you rushed past stuttering Magical Girls and kowtowing employees to get to Kyuubey's office. The Incubator was in the middle of signing a heap of paperwork when you burst in. That was when you dropped the box on his table.

Which brings you back to now.

"...I'll try to look past the fact that I'll be conducting some takeover negotiations with bloodstained paperwork and ask you, Matsuda, if you've any idea what this is about." Kyuubey looks down into the box again, one appendage reaching forward and carefully nudging the head to reveal its grisly message. "I have my own suspicions, of course, but I'd like it if my Warmaster offered her own opinion. Show some proactivity for once."

How do you respond?

>>25152905

State the obvious. That someone with olden weapons has just openly declared a hit on Mami.

THEN back it up with the warning we recieved from pinky.

>>25152895
>...You've never wanted to shoot someone in the face as badly as you wanted to now.

HE'S RIGHT THERE AND BEING SO SMUG

HE'LL GET BETTER

>>25152891
>>25152975

No shooting of the boss, goddammit.

We've spent time trying to work more professionally already.

>>25152905
"Someone familiar with the Golden Weapons is trying rattle me, and possibly you through extension. They knew enough about me and the Officio to know who I care about, where I frequent, and what Mami looks like. The question left is who this girl was; one of ours or a civilian."

"I got someone who hates me. Someone who knows about my trips to Charles bar, who knew that I was going to go there, who knows about the golden weapons and someone who knows about my connection with Mami."

"I'm guessing that this person must be a magical girl, or has a magical girl helping them"

>>25152905
I have heard rumors that a certain Prophet might be after our blonde haired angel. Who he/she/it is I do not know, but would like to. After all, a tombstone needs a name, it's only proper.

Wat do QB?

>>25152905

Don't mention Pinky.

"I've had a very shitty day so don't push me or I'll shoot you." Calm down, deep breath. "Someone's declared a hit on Mami and they knew where I'd be and when I'd be there. I'm not fond of coincidences. Whoever did this KNEW. I need a list of names now before I shove that stupid hat down your throat and go shoot up every courier in the city until I get what I want."

>>25152905
Shoot him in the fucking face and remark that there's nothing to be suspicious about.
SOMEONE, just sent us a goddamn fish in a newspaper.

Continue talking to a corpse

He should be perfectly aware that Mami is the obvious target and that she should be protected at all times until this shit is resolved.

Then reveal Pinky and Prophet stuff.

Wait for new QB

>>25152905
There isn't anyone I can name that isn't already dead
There are a few factions I would guess that might have something to do with this

As nothing solid can be proven though I would suggest assigning Tomoe Mami a guard and possibly relocating her to the officio for the time being, while she is quite skilled we have seen that there are those out there who are extremely dangerous and losing her would be a blow to our officio both in morale and in the void it would leave in our ranks

Also I recommend putting some effort towards discovering who this head is of, who sent it and what they are planning to do other than threaten Mami

As warmaster this is my recommendation, the safety of our operatives is part of my responsibility as their superior

>>25152905
"Point 1: Whoever did this possesses, or is at the very least familiar with, the golden weapons. Because that goddamn phrase.

Point 2: It was deliberately dressed up as Tomoe Mami.

Point 3: It was not delivered in a terribly Conventional manner. Given the freshness of the dead head, whoever did it would have had to have known exactly where I was at any given moment, and had a girl on hand to provide the head.

Point 4: I had been informed, en route from Siberia, with a cryptic warning indicating that someone referred to as "The Prophet" needs to die, or Tomoe Mami will.

My conclusion is as follows: Someone connected to the golden weapons has either put out a hit on, or intends to kill one of the best magical girls in this officio. Furthermore, it is probable that hey are doing it specifically to fuck with us, either to draw me out, lure me into a trap, or simply hurt me.

You want proactive? I'm issuing an order to have a team protecting Tomoe Mami at all times. I am also dispatching a team specifically to investigates this. I want a strategy meeting with all senior staff and rank leaders to plan a counterattack to deal with this threat.

Someone just declared war on us, Kyuubey. And I intend to show them what a war really is."

>>25152905
this >>25152993

So, plans for protecting Mami? We could pull Midori from the S&R job to run doppelganger duties.

Shoot him.
well, shoot him with intention to miss.
then throw him a silent glare.

>>25152905
"Someone wants to get my attention, someone who knows me. Knows about my social life, knows about the golden weapons, and either of those things on their own are knowing way too fucking much.
They've succeeded in getting my attention."
Squeeze fist tightly, unconsciously.
"As to what end.. Maybe they want the golden weapons. Maybe they just want to sabotage a new warmaster. I hope you appreciate the sheer effort I'm putting into being rational about this at the moment."

I like how threatening Mami made a bunch of posters want to unleash hell on fucking Pinky, and now Kyuubey even though he hasn't done anything egregious lately.

Heaven forbid we run into Sayaka again today.

But seriously don't shoot Kyubey, it isn't going to help anything.

Let's not shoot Kyuubey.

We're not quite that antagonistic anymore. Plus, he's a pretty decent boss compared to the other Incubators. no need to hack him off.

Threadly reminder that the updated Ebook can be found at http://pastebin.com/kbGzcbDb
Unless Decu says next time he's running is Monday, the Ebook will be updated Sunday. Otherwise I'll update it at the end of the thread.

>>25153070
Do we even HAVE other Callidus? I thought half the appeal in getting Midori was that we didn't have many or possibly any.

>>25153070
>I'm sure we have others.
Maybe. But do we trust them enough to guard our precious Mami?

>>25153090

Mami was going to put Midori on a room at the Callidus floor of the main building. I would think there would be enough to warrant a floor dedicated to housing them.

>>25152905
>"Look, it's obviously related to the golden weaponry, and what do we know about those? That they're bad news for everyone. Now what I'd like you to do is check who the hell this head belongs to and have a mixed squad, Cullexus included, watch over Mami.

>>25152905
First, we're not going to shoot our boss. That'll just delay things and we're no longer a slacker that shoots QB whenever they feel like it.

Then, >>25152993 and telling QB that a "source" has told us that someone named "the Prophet" is targeting Mami.

>>25153108
Oh and I veto/vote against on the whole "Shoot QB" matter

>>25153106
It could be like the situation with the Culexus; we HAD enough Callidus at one point to warrant an entire floor. That number has since been severely reduced.
QB did say that Callidus are now very rare and much in demand for those that still know how to use them.

>>25153090
It would be a piss-poor officio if it didn't have a single Callidus before we 'recruited' Midori. I can't remember exactly how rare they're supposed to be, but that seems excessive - Culexus are supposed to be pretty uncommon too, and there were enough of them to warrant their own dorms before the incident.

>>25153028
I like this. You've got my vote.

>>25153141

the fact that they made everyone void their stomachs had nothing to do with it?

pretty sure it did.

Just going to hit 3.5 shadowruns for a minute.

Can unattended magical girl bodies be taken over by soul gems without bodies?

How many soul gems could you stick in a severed head?

Have we checked the head for tampering?

Did we REALLY just bring a package sent by an enemy team into our headquarters without any security checks at all?!

>>25153163
>Did we REALLY just bring a package sent by an enemy team into our headquarters without any security checks at all?!
Yo, we're THE most important and intimidating person around.
Cut the security some slack

>>25153121
Agreed
We're the warmaster now so no shooting the mutant rat, it sets a bad precedent

>>25153154
They still wouldn't need a dorm if there were only a handful of culexus, there are far more cost-effective ways of separately housing that number of people.

>>25153163
Since the Siberian Base had to research an artificial body interface, I don't think so.
The Soulgem is probably tuned to their original body, and so no, they can't just switch bodies.
Otherwise they would have been able to use cryo-preserved corpse.

Unless it was one of a specific Meguca's powers related to their wish, to switch bodies easily.

>>25153108
>Cullexus included
We have one.
She's not on active duty.
Did you mean Calidus?

>>25153163
Unattended bodies just can't be "taken over"
An empty body like the torture ones we had made will be able to be taken over if they throw it in the slot

>>25153177
I don't know.
Imagine the rumours.

>Oh god, heard about Ninth Warmaster?
>The timestopping one?
>Yeah the same. I hear she casually shoots her Incubator in the head, whenever she's upset.
>She can DO that?! No repercussions?
>Horrifying, right?

>>25153028
I second this.

>I want a strategy meeting with all senior staff and rank leaders to plan a counterattack to deal with this threat.

This however would make us look weak. Do we really want the Megucas under us to know how freaked out we are by a simple Threat?

>>25153216
It would ruin QB's image among the other Incubators which would have repercussions with our relations with other Officio's.
The Ninth may have the Magical Girls of two Officio's, but that doesn't mean anything if 3 or more Officio's, or Home Office and the First, decide that we need some corporate restructuring.

>>25153216
I see it going more like
>did you hear about the ninth warmaster?
>you mean that crazy bitch who shooter her incubator?
>that's the one, the boss feels she is dangerously unstable and that the incubator has lost control so we are going to cleanse them

People, people, we're jumping the gun a bit on shooting QB. Wait until he does something to deserve it, like dismissing the threat to our beloved pancake-girl. *Then* we shoot him.

>>25153231
Yo, we're the Warmaster.
We care about people.

>>25153231
It wouldn't make us look weak, it would show that we react to threats seriously

Also if we strike back hard enough and do something along the lines of obliterating all trace of the idiots threatening the one person we really cared about for most of our time in this world we will show that if you fuck with us we will end you, no matter how small the offense

>>25153236
Operation of this scale requires incubator's license.

Them cats don't want to cleanse shit one like the third.
Why would they attack perfectly working and powerful officio like the ninth?
Especially considering the monster in the basement

>>25153028
>I want a strategy meeting with all senior staff and rank leaders to plan a counterattack to deal with this threat.
Overreacting is just as bad as not reacting enough.
If the Prophet knew enough about us to target Mami, then they would know enough that we would have a disproportionate response.
In fact, that's probably what they planned on.

It would show that we're unstable and unable to control ourselves, and that's not something that we can afford when this is just our first day on the job.

>>25153231
>This however would make us look weak. Do we really want the Megucas under us to know how freaked out we are by a simple Threat?

Freaked out? No. Dealing with a high-level threat to our officio by planning, getting opinions of the senior staff, coming up with solid information before counterstriking, and not just flipping out and wanting to murderise thing like Kharn? Hell yes.

>>25153239

Might be a bad precedent. Chiaki literally worships the ground Mami walks on. Were it any other girl the reaction would probably be starkly different.

>>25153265
>Planning and getting advice instead of just flipping out and killing stuff
>Unable to control ourselves

I don't think we're on the same page.

>>25153269
Weeeeeell...

I bet Mami is crazy popular all around officio.
I think the girls would appreciate our action

>>25153269
Pretty much everyone who knows Mami worships the ground she walks on
Our entire officio and the rabbits would go to war on a rumor of a threat to her let alone something like this

There's three reasons as to send something like this;

1: sender is crazy
2: sender wishes to provoke a response
3: sender is using the item as a delivery method for something else

1: we can't do much against.
2: The most likely response we have is keeping mami safe, meaning putting a guard on her. What does that do? Mami doesn't do too many solo missions, so it's not we'll be crippled there. An honour guard takes some resources up so it might be that, but it's not exactly something that will really be a problem.
3: Make sure we check it's not a bomb, JC.

Can we send mami to the moon for a bit? Or is the moon coobie only territory?

>>25153292
Coobie only.

>>25153292
>Can we send mami to the moon for a bit? Or is the moon coobie only territory?

Only coobies and the Warmaster of the First.

We can always keep Mami in our apartment. Specifically, the kitchen.

>>25152905

I like this one because it covers the basics, without us seeming either too cold or too flipping-out.

>>25153037

>>25153278
You're still pulling in "all senior staff and rank leaders", even though some of them are undoubtedly on missions right now.
Flipping out and killing stuff isn't the only type of disproportionate response; calling an emergency meeting with all of the senior staff is just as bad.

Well. If we need Mami protected and have no faith in anyone beingable to protect Mami other than us..

Then Mami just will have to stay with us at all time for some weeks until we can identify the threat.

Let's call Pinky again and order her to issue gold-bearers a ban on hurting Mami.

Or else

>>25153338
OH YEAH

>>25153338
>>25153292

Addendum:

Didn`t Pinky outright say that none of her chosen would do something so crude?
It may be someone who knows about the golden weapons but doesn`t have one. Or who took the weapon and put one of the Chosen down.

It could be a trick to divert our attention from something else.

>>25153354
Nah.

>>25153367
Prophet is Creed now.


But seriously, how do we find the damn bitch?

>>25153354
Or else what, bitch? We literally can do nothing to Pinky, except suicide.

>>25153367

You have a point. She did say that. Quite likely you're right. It's very likely someone who's familiar with them, or someone who also managed to kill one the bearers and steal their weapon like Kilgore did.

>>25153367
>It could be a trick to divert our attention from something else.
The concert

>>25153367
Like, Ruri and whatever she's cooking up with the concert?
Make us focus so much on Mami and the threat to her, that we don't adequately prepare for what she's going to do?
Or maybe the threat to Mami IS real, not just a decoy, and so she wins either way.

>>25153367
>Didn`t Pinky outright say that none of her chosen would do something so crude?

Except like 3 of them and other Killgore-like cases

>>25153367
She was implying that they wouldn't deliver Mami's head in a box.
I've no doubt there's some that would kill Mami especially since she used to have a gold weapon.

>>25153385
We can pout really cutely at her

>>25153367

It might be someone who has access to files on golden weapon users, or who has personally seen golden weapon users in action enough to know that they're violent and insane and like saying a certain phrase a large number of times.

That could narrow the list down a bit, but it's best to start with the most likely people who would have a grudge against Chiaki enough to send this horrific message.

Oriko would be a suspect. Chiaki killed Kirika in her attempt to save Mami. If she was bitter enough about it, she could have contracted with an incubator to help her get revenge on Chiaki, or otherwise hired another agency to do such a thing.

>>25152993 >>25153028

You gather your thoughts at the same time you take a deep breath. Composing yourself, forcing back the compulsion of pulling steel and pumping a few cathartic rounds into the smug mutant cat. Reasoning to yourself that it would just slow things down; that it would just annoy the both of you; and that it would be a waste of ammunition. You close your eyes, letting your breath out in a sigh, before talking.

You tell him what you know and what you think, point by point. You make sure to emphasize the most important facts, here: that the culprit knows about the Golden Weapons, it knows about your habits, and it know about your connection with Tomoe Mami. The message is there, plain and simple - someone is planning to have the blonde killed. This being anything else - intimidation, psychological warfare, or even a taunt - is much too optimistic to even consider. Someone wants Tomoe Mami dead, pure and simple, and they were willing to get someone innocent dragged into it by using her head as the proverbial brick through the window.

"A serious allegation, but one I can fully understand where it's coming from." Kyuubey muses. "You seem terribly convinced, here, though."

...Who else wouldn't be convinced? Someone just sent you a fucking severed head. There's not much gray area in this one. And since he wants you to be proactive, you'll do so right now, by issuing an order to have a team protecting Tomoe Mami at all times, as well as a team to investigate this thoroughly. You also want to meet - immediately - with all senior staff and rank leaders to plan a counterattack, just in case the worst case scenario happens.

"Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, now." The mutant cat replies gently, before falling into silence, shaking his head, and then continuing. Both appendages carefully placing the lid back on the box.

[1/2]

>>25153415

"I do agree, however - this seems more and more like a declaration. Someone has their sights on Tomoe Mami. Very well, I'll have the rank leaders come up in a little bit. But before that..." Kyuubey looks up at you.

"I'd like you to be more honest with me. You are my warmaster, I am your Incubator. You are my right hand. We must have honesty, Matsuda. We need to understand each other."

...What? What's he being touchy-feely about, now?

"Three times I've felt you thinking about shooting me, Matsuda, in as many minutes the moment you stepped into my office. I knew what you were here for the moment I saw you. No, I wasn't reading your mind - merely skimming the surface, nothing more. You've certainly given me enough evidence to believe you, as well as a solid-sounding theory. But what makes you so sure? What gives you that conviction?"

. . .

"Ever since Tomoe Mami rescued you from that barrier, you've always been a difficult one to deal with. You killed me, twice, before I could even get a word in edgeways. You've been a source of frustration and worry, both to me, Tomoe Mami, and even Sakura Kyoko. Malal had always hid it, but there's little you can hide from an Incubator, even when you wear a Culexus Helmet every waking hour." Kyuubey sighs. "You are Warmaster now, Matsuda, and I'd like to take this opportunity to ask if there is anything you are hiding from me. Convince me that my decision to make you Warmaster is the right one."

It seems that the mutant cat wants you to spill the beans about Pinky.

To be honest, I'm not sure we can actually pull other living people into timestop with us.

Shoot him, but respectfully so.

But, no, really, we should tell him about Pinky and how she's fixated on us. Ideally it shouldn't change much, as Pinky is less likely to be releasing so much unfocused destruction if she's focusing on making us all messed up.

Ideally.

1) Pinky will show herself
2) Pinky will appreciate being the object that we show to an Incubator.

thats what i said earlier, this is one of those times where /tg/ saw a retarded idea and ran with it screaming Derp the entire way.

>>25153585
Because so far she's been there every time we timestopped.

>>25153421
"I have an imaginary friend who is also possibly an insane eldritchian nightmare god.

I call her Pinky.

So yeah, that's a thing."

>[x]Tell him.

But do it Incubator-Style. We obviously won`t spill everything we know.

"It seems that Homura Akemi goes way back with the Witch known as Faust. That much is certain. But what their Relationship was or what Faust`s Intentions are remains unclear even to me.

But since I am still lacking all the Details to make an accurate guess this is all I will have to say for now. "

Homu. As. Fuck.

Is it really a good idea to have QB physically meet Pinky?
Faust does not have good memories of the Incubators, and she's been deliberately mucking with the work that the Incubators have been doing.
And using Pinky like this, will probably end up with her being annoyed at us even more than before.

>>25153603
QB can read our surface intentions, he can know if we're lying.

>>25153421
Introduce him to Pinky, but "let's do this over pancakes. She'll probably be hungry."

>>25153602
Pretty sure that you're wrong. It wouldn't make any sense for her to be tied to our timestops. Whenever she appeared before us it was because she wanted to. Why would she want to now..?

>>25153415
[Truth]
"...Let me see if I can sum this up briefly. I'm from another timeline. Something went terribly wrong with an amazingly powerful magical girl, something I don't entirely remember, who is now an insane goddess with the power to re-write reality. Now she haunts me, appearing to me oftentimes when I use my power to stop time, and she's behind the appearance of the golden weapons. But she's mostly just given them out to the violent or deluded, and hasn't usually facilitated their plans or seemingly made any of her own. She seems to have a fixation on me, but also wants me dead, and with her craziness it's hard to get usable information out of her, but in this case I think she may be telling me the truth in that this particular case isn't her doing, Like the Kilgore case, where she didn't anticipate someone else taking the golden weapon and using it for their own ends. But at least if I suspect a golden weapon may be involved, I can sometimes confirm it if she says something that matches up.

So I guess you could say I have a little pink bird on my shoulder, one that may rip out my jugular at any moment."

We're witnessing the birth of a second "get fucked" here. The tears after this will be delicious.

>>25153524
Is there a source on this? I've never seen Homura pull a human in with her. If you mean when she realized that stopping time when Kyouko grabbed her was useless, I thought that was more because timestopping and having Kyouko frozen around her would still have made it hard to break out of her grasp and been a waste of magic.

>>25153671
And that's terrible. Because it's just like what happened with Mirai and Midori.
We'll lose someone we could have saved, if not for doing something stupid.

...Wait a minute. Was it even Pink who first warned us about Mami? I thought it was Wendy in our dream.

>>25153702
That's because It was

>>25153697
I'll admit, it would be kind of funny if Pinky had a way to permanently kill Kyubey, and then suddenly the story shifts as we personally have to deal with a SHITLOAD of fallout from the fact that we just managed to get an incubator and the owner of an entire officio murdered.

But seriously, let's not.

>>I've never seen Homura pull a human in with her.

When Sayaka witches out and Kyouko is being attacked by spinning wheels. Homura pulls her into the time-stop and they escape the barrier together while Oktavia is frozen.

>>25153702

Pinky told us about the Prophet. She said she had a special treat for us, got cheeky, and then we managed to get her to tell. Then we told Wendy later

>>25153702
Pinky told us in our dream on the plane coming back from Siberia
We almost made her forget by mentioning whiskey pancakes and it sidetracked her then she remembered the prophet bit

>>25153712
Then maybe we're jumping the gun a bit on telling Kyubey about our primary source of information, when it was actually a secondary source that gave us the tidbit about the Prophet in the first place.

Also irony in the fact that if Wendy warned us about a prophet in the future, wouldn't that make her a prophet too?

>>25153702
It was, wasn't it?

That being the case, why should we even bother telling QB about Pinky? Seems like a recipe for disaster to me. Somehow I imagine telling QB that we have his #1 most wanted super-witch inside our head would not exactly make him trust us very much, and I rather doubt either QB or Pinky would be terribly happy to see each other if we pulled the timestop trick for introductions.

>>25153730
D'oh how did I forget that part.

>>25153693
Homura grabbing Kyouko, freezing time, and getting the fuck out of the newly-formed Octavia's witch barrier at the begining of episode 9.

When Kyoko grabber her earlier, Homura didn't want to pull Kyouko in with her into the frozen time, as it would be a waste of magic if a moving kyoko still have her pinned, and it would have given away her time stopping powers.

No, it wasn't Wendy that told us about the Prophet. It was Pinky on the plane ride back from Siberia.

But first we need some Mami pancakes. Then we stop time, feed Pinky pancakes and horrify our Incubator.

>>25153736
>Then maybe we're jumping the gun a bit on telling Kyubey about our primary source of information,
We're not telling Kyubey due to the threat to Mammaries.
We're telling the Incubator the truth about a certain pink haired devil goddess because it asked about them.

>>25153740
It's a lose/possibly lose situation.

Don't tell him? He's not going to trust us as much. Tell him? We don't know, maybe he will be concerned, maybe he won't.

Maybe he has some handy info on what needs to be done.

The way to say this is to say that due to Faust's pre-existence focusing on us she's not going around fucking other stuff up, so it's in the incubators interests not to adjust what they do due to that.

>>25153778
You're the sort of person that killed the last bizarre slime quest

I got a theory! Someone wants to be a God. By pancakes. And only thing that still stands between her and divinity is Mami. And her pancakes.

When we kill Prophet, Mami will get possibility to ascend into Pancake Goddes and mediate Pinky,

>>25153778
But that's not really failure, is it?
Failure means that we lose something we already had, or don't get something we could have received.
And just like we lost Mirai because of a bad choice, something bad is going to happen if we don't stop bad ideas before they get momentum.

There's still people voting for a bad idea even though we've already identified it as bad. Like this guy >>25153776

If people want to do something that ends horribly, I dont care as long as its still written well.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO INFORM DECU THAT I THINK INTRODUCING PINKY TO QB IS A BAD IDEA
BUT ONLY BECAUSE WE PROMISED PANCAKES

>>25153810
I stopped following it quite a while ago. What happened?

>>25153853
It doesn't matter if you're voting or not. You're still the type of player, by your own admission, that would like to see the Bad End just because you're curious, regardless of the consequences.

>>25153835
>we lost Mirai because of a bad choice
Exactly, it was a bad choice, but it was still entertaining to read.

>>25153883
No, you're putting words in my mouth.
I dont want to see the bad end more than any other end, I just want to read Decus writing because it entertains me.
I dont much care where he takes it, thats up to you guys, not me.

>>25153885

It would have been difficult as hell to get Mirai back to Japan, though. It was shown that Jyubey could possess the soulgems and make them witch out at will; even if she were alive, she'd likely be a prisoner for the rest of her life in a secured cold room in Siberia, or killed because she'd be too much of a liability in a top-secret R&D (and containment) facility.

How much do we actually know about our own past in-character now anyway? Presumably we got some stuff back with the defrag in Siberia, but I get the impression that we're still not quite to 100% yet. Do we even remember our own history with Pinky at this point in the first place?

Regardless, I think a brief, bare-minimum answer is best anyway. If we give full disclosure about Pinky, we risk imminent termination. It's a tossup as to whether QB would see us as an opportunity to learn more about Faust, or a liability who's been compromised and needs to be eliminated. Actually dragging QB into stopped time to MEET Pinky is full pants-on-head retarded. There's absolutely no possible way that can end well.

Keep it short, simple, and cryptic. An Incubator-style answer for the Incubator.

>>25153483

You make your decision, and give the Incubator a slow nod. Reaching over the box with both hands, picking him up off of his seat.

"...Matsuda?" Kyuubey's voice carries with it a note of puzzlement. "What are you--"

You shift him to one arm, just as you take hold of the rim of our shield. Pushing it slowly, carefully, the abused gears grinding and gnashing painfully as you force time to a dead stop. The world, as always, loses color, reduced to a dull cast-iron gray. Silence fills your ears, along with the sound of your own breathing, and your own blood pulsing through your veins.

"What's this?" The Incubator asks again, his voice echoing in your mind. "Matsuda, is this what happens when you stop time? I..." Kyuubey sounds like he's about to say something again, but falls silent. "Fascinating. Quite fascinating. But I don't know what this has to do with--"

The moment you realize something is wrong - terribly wrong - is the moment that the world disappears. Leaving you standing in the middle of a flooded, ruined Mitakihara. Bodies, corpses everywhere, some facedown in the mud and muck, others looking up to the sky, their faces permanently frozen in horror. Not one of them whole - each one torn apart or dismembered to some extent. The smell of rot - of decay - is sickeningly sweet, a scent that grows chokingly stronger when the scream erupts, loud enough to shake the sky.

"WHAT IS THAT THING DOING HERE?! WHY DID YOU BRING HIM HERE, HOMURA-CHAN?!"

You turn to see Pinky - no, Faust - in the form that you encountered in Siberia. A twisted, giant presence, with the stark face of a dying sun, a grin full of too many teeth, and eyes blackened with too many secrets and too many lies. Her claws are no longer playful, pointy tips to her gloved fingers - they are now scythes, each the length of your arm, dripping with blood and gore, gnarled where they sprouted out from arthritic knuckles.

>Not trusting Coobie after all he's done
Coobs has been nothing but a responsible, caring boss that cares about the health and happiness of his employees this entire quest. He's not the sociopathic monster from canon. If he was anyone but Kyuubey thus wouldn't even be an issue.

>>25153948

Her back hunched over, vertebrae jutting out from her back, terrible wings of black bone sprouting from her shoulderblades. An angel, imagined by demons who fed on despair.

"WHY. DID. YOU. BRING. HIM. HERE?!" The monstrous beast's roar hits you, a wall of sound, slamming into you and nearly bowling you over. Kyuubey scrambles up your arm and perches tightly on your shoulder - you feel his tiny claws push against your skin, through your clothes. "THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE JUST OUR SPECIAL PLACE!"

Without warning, without preamble - the monster that was once Pinky charges you. Loping at you, its clawed feet tearing through the ground, its scythed fingers slicing air. Its maw blooming open, exposing its forest of ivory teeth, each one stringy with pink saliva.

"I have no idea why you brought me here, Matsuda, but I'd like to get out of here now," Kyuubey says, strangely calm, yet his words are hurried. "If this was your idea of an explanation, then I will consider it. But let us leave before something happens."

Jyubey's power might not actually work unless the soul gem is being possessed currently by the magical girl in question, hence why he didn't do anything until we put Mirai into the fake body.

If I remember correctly, there was a quest where the protagonist was a benevolent slave-trader or somesuch. He met his end attempting to chase two bandits, and bad rolls/badly outmatched resulted in his death.

What happened later was an epilogue that showed how the other characters were affected by his death, and what happened to them in the end.

[x]Stand our ground! Sure, Pinky's mad now, but if we don't at least stay to try and calm her down a little, she might be even madder the next time we come back. Plus, maybe Kyubs will have more sympathy for us if he sees what happens.

There's only so much slack that a QM can grant if his players start to become bold and reckless... or even worse, banking on meta-gaming knowledge for mercy. That's like saying that the DM won't do a TPK for pissing off the King at level 5 because then there would be no more heroes to complete the campaign and it's waaaay too early to be facing enemies like that.

>probably getting us permakilled"
every time pinky tried to kill us in timestop it did absolutely nothing long term, see heart getting torn out in elevator

I'm not gonna be all doom-and-gloom "game over, gaiz", because I know Decu is too much of a softy to do that, but seriously...there's no way there won't be some kind of negative repercussions for this. We have enough shit on our plate right now with the whole Prophet business and the fishy as fuck Ruri mission, the last thing we need right now is to add more fuel to the fire by pissing off Pinky.
And really, what on earth could have possessed you guys who supported this course of action to think that anything but trouble would come of it?

well, I sure don't feel that confident about our immediate future.

I'll just wait and see what happens.

>>25154069
She's killed us before, in illusions and dreams at least. We're banking on that.

Hopefully.

Fuck, I don't know which way to vote, maybe we should just ESCAPE.

Well in game, the players roll new characters and the story continues since the story (rather often) isn't directly related to anyone's backstory.

I imagine that a quest-maker isn't so eager to kill his protag because hell, he wanted to tell us his story and now he is unable to

god damn it this is why were about to permadie.

I'm doubting her priorities will be so clean cut when she's screaming angry on top of her regular insanity.

>>25154191
Except notice she never was full out rage? Every other time has been jealousy, fear, something else
This is a properly pissed off evil god

Just because we got away with pulling a tigers tail before doesn't mean we will always get away with it

Will people *please* stop staying "this will work out because Decu wouldn't kill us off"? That's, like, the one and only guaranteed way to get us killed.

I THINK THAT WAS PINKY IN SIBERIA AND IN OUR FLASHBACK, NOT FAUST.

>>25154213
>>25154147

Alright. So now at least we have proof that there Chucklefucks voting for retarded shit just to ruin someone else`s fun.

I kind of hope Decu will ignore them.

>>25154213
>but i want to see these fools pull themselves out of this situation
That's...actually a really good point. Let the chucklefucks who thought introducing our boss to an unstable eldritch horror reap what they have sown.

[X]No. Stand your ground. Tell Pinky to stop this nonsense.

Possibly while removing Kyubey from timestop. There is no need for him to hear our apologies and if we do not apologize, Pinky may retaliate suddenly.

All of those instances were before Siberia and having our memories put back together.
Also, she was never this mad before.
This time, she's actually furious.

>>25154225

Yet she might get pissed off enough to direct some Golden Weapon users to eviscerate the people who are close to Chiaki. And crush their soul gems.

>>25154249

Seriously. This is meta-gaming bullshit and would piss off even the most patient of QMs because you're basically saying he doesn't have the balls to do something to the MC when the MC has done something stupid.

>>25154230
Bring a sketchpad or something and work out a rough draft while you wait in line. You'll have plenty of time!

>implying Decu will kill us and not simply make the next post

>You fell asleep in your costume again.

>>25154257
>I kind of hope Decu will ignore them.
Just like he ignored the morons voting to take Pinky into timestop?

[X] Stay
I want to see what happens when Pinky tells Cooby about his alternate self.

>>25154229
Considering none of what we've seen are her true form, yes it's an Illusion.

>>25154184
Yeah, this.
Besides, a game loses some of the tension if there's no actual reason to fear death.
The end of the Russian arc was so amazing because we almost did lose MIdori and maybe everyone else, and we would really have done so had we not been lucky enough to A: Have a sane Madogod and B: A willing Soulgem donor, both lucky things we won't probably see again soon.

>>25154249
>Will people
Pretty sure It's just me, and I'm genuinely curious how that works.

I'm not very quest-saavy.
I imagine It's less The Witcher and more the Asura's Wrath type of thing If you know what I'm trying to say

>>25154259
The only problem with that idea, as much as I agree with the sentiment, is that we're ALSO in the burning building and we need to help put out the fire or we die as well.

Salve Trader Quest. We weren't that benevolent. Shit, in the same thread people had him kill two innocent kids to eliminate witnesses of the murder we just had commited.

The way he died was absolutely fucking retarded. After going to town with our brother to party and fuck, we wake up naked, hang-over, and see several bandits with really advanced (for that period) fire-arms kidnapping some noble or something who we have absolutely no relation to, who we barely know and doesn't affect us in any way or whatsoever. The bandits tell everyone to keep calm and that they will not hurt anyone unless provoked. What do the players suggest in a situation where the MC has absolutely no power but is not in ANY danger? LOL LETS RUSH THEM LIKE FUCKING IDIOTS DURR HURR

I hope this explains to you what kind of absolutely retarded players /tg/ sometimes has and can affect a quests you've been playing and enjoying for a long time.
Seriously, the authors should take this into account. You don't have the same players playing each time and you must anticipate absolute idiocy and keep in mind the veteran players who might not be on at time to keep it at bay. And when you see the idiocy happening, at least wait much longer till update and keep refreshing while you're writing to see if consensus has changed.

>>25154265
We still do not know what we did.

>>25154280

But there it wasn`t as obvious as it is now that they just want to derail this Quest.

>>25154291
Hey you can't do that!

>>25153965

>[X]Disengage timestop immediately.

Disengaging will make things worse because, while we avoid the immediate problem, we will give Pinky time to stew.
If we handle this now, however poorly, we will mitigate future effects

tl;dr STAY OR DIE

>>25154299
Oh I don't want to derail the quest, this is getting interesting now, you're just confusing a desire to derail with your butthurt.

>>25154325
this is actually a good point
[x]stay and defuse the situation.

>>25154296
Observation:
It's better to cripple the protag in some way. Punish the players without ending the protag. That waym the story can go on while remaining the tension

[]No. Stand your ground. Tell Kyuubey to stop this nonsense.

Can't miss what's gonna happen.

>>25154325
Current pinky state: Killmode
Future pinky state: possibly killmode

Not dying is better than dying. Future pinky can be put off with applications of going in with kong and apologies and pancakes.

>>25154327
You can derail the quest and make it interesting. Don't make it seem like a duality.

An interesting but retarded write in answer that escalates the situation in an uncontrollable manner can and will derail the quest. As shown here.

>>25154325
I believe the opposite is true. She is furious right now, and won't listen to reason.
We don't have a chance to mitigate anything because she won't listen to reason.
If we stay now, we die. If we pop back in later, we will have a chance to placate the crazy goddess.

But all options now are bad because we did the retarded thing and brought QB into timestop.

>>25154347
And bunnygirl costumes.

>>25154354
Have you never tried calming down a raging, charging rhino by simply staring at it really hard? Trust me, it works.

>>25154297

>OUR SPECIAL PLACE

What do you think.

She didn't want QB in here.

>>25154351
Its funny that people think this will derail the quest, when every single thread, the collective hivemind with down syndrome makes bad decisions and endlessly argues about how its all going to end.

As someone who has not or is not going to vote, I find your futile and energy sapping arguments entertaining. Imagine the things you could accomplish if you didn't sit there slinging shit at each other

>>25154336
That still fuels the expectation that no matter how stupid the players get, that they won't die.
And for those players that only "want to see something interesting", they'll still keep on making the same stupid decisions because it makes the story interesting.

>>25154336
Actually, in the Slave Trader quest, the author was lenient. He gave us a choice to sacrifice on of the several close NPC character but the retardness didn't stop there, someone went with "I wanna see what happens when MC dies, lets do that"

Remind you of anything?


Also, you didn't read that quest but it ended with the protag rushing several men armed with semi-automatic guns. What else was the author to do, he even gave us dice roll to beat (75) and chose best of 3.

>>25154380
Well, the important thing is that you get to feel superior to everybody.

>>25154373
They meant "Pinky will not kill us until we find out what our ORIGINAL mistake was, back when we were Homura".

>>25154401
Fuck that, the important thing is how hilarious and enjoyable this will be.

>>25154380
I just wanted to remark that you sound like a huge douche.
Really, it probably takes talent to sound as douchy as you.
