It's here!

>>28082453
Hey Hat, did you fix Wendy's eyes on the height chart? They're too far apart.

>>28082414

...Well, you're not too sure about that, either. Yuma, the Culexus helping you with this little interrogation, was so sure that it was your fault that she punched you out over it. You got back at her for that, but...well. Looking at Amane Haruka now, the girl sobbing uncontrollably in Yuma's arms, all while trying to claw herself free from the Culexus' grasp in an attempt to get as far away from you as possible - you can't help but feel guilty, too.

In the middle of all the screaming, your gaze falls down on the bits of shattered ceramic that used to be teacups speckling the floor in front of you. Three teacups. Yeah, she was expecting you, alright.

"Haruka, please, it's not Murderface, she's not Murderface any more, she--" Yuma tries again, only for her vox speaker to crackle into silence as Haruka's panicked flailing cracks against the face of her helmet. It's here that she turns towards you. "Warmaster! Warmaster Matsuda, get out of here for a moment! I'm going to try something!"

Huh? Oh...oh, yeah. Sure. You step out immediately, the Shield on your arm still clicking - and the moment you're clear from the Silent Room is when you feel a sudden snap of tension in the air, followed by the screams being cut off. No muffling, no tapering into whimpers or anything like that - it's as if Haruka had been switched off, somehow.

There's nothing but dead silence for a moment or so. Then--

"It's okay, Warmaster. You can come back in, now." Yuma calls from inside, sounding strained but otherwise alright. You blink at this, before making for the Silent Room once more. You're just about to step over the threshold when you stop, and glance down at your still-clicking Shield.

Haruka started screaming just a bit after your Shield started clicking, and...well, the latter's still clicking now. There's a chance they might not be related at all, but if they are...

Ha ha! Time for Best Girl!

>>28082488

You close your eyes and concentrate briefly. Another snap of tension, and the once-comforting weight of the Shield on your arm vanishes - along with the rest of your costume. Leaving you in your underwear - a simple white sports bra and plain white panties. The golden bracelets still clasped around your wrists, and the Desert Eagle now snug against your frame in a convenient shoulder holster.

No, you're not taking any chances. Not with Pinky.

You don't need to drive this Amane Haruka any more crazy than you need to. You just need to find out who this fucking Prophet is, so you can kill her and prevent Tomoe Mami from being mixed up in any bullshit you did in the past.

"Warmaster?" You hear Yuma call again, and you step into the Silent Room once more, arms crossed over your pitifully-flat chest. "I said you could come in...oh." The Culexus looks up from where she was crouching in front of the mess Haruka made on the floor. Haruka herself is laid out on the bed, peacefully unconscious, her face completely devoid of the frenzied fear contorting it earlier.

"Um. Why are you, uh..." Yuma gestures towards you with a gloved hand, clearly flustered despite the fact that she'd been trying to break your jaw in the elevator earlier. With her fists.

How do you respond?

>>28082525
[x] "Because Pinky. Any spare linen in here? I could go for a bedsheet toga right about now."

>>28082525

[X] Don't ask. Just get me a spare blanket or something.

[x] "I thought I should try to look as not-Murderface as possible."

Long story. I'll share it later if I get a chance.

PLEASE tell me we didn't leave the Warmaster cap in our inventory.

>>28082525
We wear underwear? Huh.

[x] "Shield started ticking right about when she started screaming. Needed to get rid of it."

>>28082579
We did.

Seconding >>28082543

>>28082581
Honestly, I thought we still had the idols Jimjams on...

>>28082579
We did. Why is this a problem? Worst I mean best case scenario, we make out with Pinky later.

>>28082579
>>28082597

Shield storage and Inventory are two different things.

Anyhow, I was kinda hoping we'd go into the Mitakhira school uniform... Oh well, unto the list it goes anyway.

>>28082596
Yeah, shame about that. Those were maximum classiness.

[x]Hey, you wanted me to keep her safe. Get me a blanket to wear. And make some more tea, would you?

I just realised that the sniper girl we saved from pinky? Might actually have wanted to be eaten by pinky.

>>28082597
Seriously? You're telling me you cant see the comedy potential in pulling on the cap and deadpanning something right now?

>>28082613

It's definitely a possibility, but there's absolutely no evidence of it.

>>28082647
They were going on about how the Blessed Lady protects.

We should assume that anyone who mentions the Blessed Lady is a cultist until proven otherwise, especially since the stadium was apparantly filled with them.

Would have waiting until Midori got back for a Midori-Make-Over™ been too metagamey considering Chiaki wasn't present for her to do her magic?

Just some food for thought because I missed the last thread.

>>28082630
>>28082647
Might, not definitely. But considering how Enshi was all "OH THANK THE BLESSED LADIES" it's not farfetched.

>>28082653
I must have missed that...

Still, I have a feeling that this isn't quite the mental image Yuma had in mind when she said that.

>>28082653
Well really, there's a big difference in how naked Chiaki and naked Kharn hold themselves.

Kharn would be all "Oooh, I'm nekkid~ Wanna do it?"

But Chiaki would be all "Yeah, I'm naked. So what? Deal with it."

>>28082662
Pretty much everyone dove on this plot hook as soon as prognostication was mentioned. There's no way you could have convinced them to wait.

>>28082522
Why did you do the soulgem so different from the rest of it?

>>28082673
You really don't seem to get how symbolic association works.

And here we go

>>28082657
I figured that it was something about the purity of ayumu's spirit Pinky seems to go in heavy for corruption and all. Its possible that its unrelated to whether or not a mg has accepted pinky as their personal messiah.

>>28082724
If we had a "pure hearted MG" in our sniper squads that'd have been a miracle in itself.

>>28082740
And y'know, she kinda picked Wendy. And Murderface for that matter.

>>28082673
The Cap itself is what Yuma was referring to.
Being naked has nothing to do with it.

>>28082774
Whatever. We're so putting that thing back on when we leave and strolling out like this.

>>28082647

>>28082525
[x]"Long story short: My Shield has been compromised by the Pink Crazy One. Disengaging it seemed safest for now."

>>28082814
Too much info.

If we were going to share that much we should have done it before now.

>>28082830
The thing is that Yuma seems to be the only so far from Coobie that knows about Pinky as Pinky and not the Blessed Lady. She even mentioned this to us in the last thread yet for some reason no one caught up on that.

>>28082846
this.
also we should talk about how we are actually protecting her specifically for that very reason.

>>28082754
she picked them as vassals, not as food. Hazuki seems be in danger of falling into the later category

>>28082870
shit, haruka i mean

>>28082856
She doesn't know Pinky is in our shield. Only that Pinky is the reason our comatose friend here just pissed herself at the sight of us.

It remains to be seen how much she knows and its worth remembering weve been playing Pinky down to QB..

>>28082940

Pinkyoko.

>>28082896

Thing is, she was an apprentisce to Malal. The gift Malal left us we have to her to investigate.

There is a decent chance that she may know stuff about Pinky or Malal`s Research that might help us in figuring out what to do with Pinky. And yes, we only fed so-so to Coobie, but now we are in Silent Room, so no Coobie around, no Cams around, since it was mentioned when the Silent Rooms showed up that there are no cams in the Silent Room, thus no one give that to Coobie but Yuma and Yuma will probably keep this to herself it we tell her that we are looking to stop Pinky from whatever she plans on pulling with the Golden Weapons.

tl;dr Yuma is one of our best clues when it comes to MAD LOVECRAFTIAN ELDRITCH MEGUCA WAT DO

>>28082991
this.
we should probably get along with her because pinky is an asshole and we need all the help we can get.
also we should probably emphasize that we understand we were a complete and utter unrelenting dildo and that we are trying to learn to do better.

>>28082991
Yep, but we're already down 50 Yuma points and telling her that we didnt bother to mention that the demon who threatened to devour her friends soul lives in our shield and we just brought it in here without telling her is unlikely to net us any.

>>28083018
5000

>>28083018
But she doesnt live in our Shield, she just appears when use our Timestop, just like she apparently appears in Dreams and/or visions.

So far there isn`t even one instance of Pinky actually interacting with the real world. Even the thing with Midori was her showing up in Midorin`s Ilusion and scaring the shit out of her.

Why hasn't he brought it up?

Im guessing its a calculated risk.

Theres a chance we may end the world.

Theres a certainty Faust will.


So QB is keeping his cards close to his chest incase someone decides to "retire" us.

because we are an asshole who ruins everything for everyone everywhere
and we probably almost accidently'd the world a couple times already:
first as normal homura post PPMM, then when we first regained our memories and then lost them again.

finally there is a reason why we are often called murderface and the name tends to stick with literally everyone.

dude...

>>28083183
i think we are, and i'm also still convinced deculture is actually urobuchi because of certain things that have happened in this quest.
part of the reason i do think we actually are homura, is the entire witches barrier part actually, that practically confirmed we were homura at least at one point.
also the fact of our favorite weapons and stuff.
also the scratched shield and whatnot is actually reminiscent of the third movie and all kinds of things.

>>28083226
Well, she's related to Haruka, right? And Haruka doesn't look even remotely like Homu. So I dunno...

>>28083268
if shes related, she might be a blond too. lets ask Kharn.

>>28083290
>>Implying the First Warmaster even knows who Kharn is

Valniwho?

Except for the fact we're inverted.

Granted, witch barrier can do weird shit to people.

But Malal nags at me. Why redact so much info if thats all it is? How did they know where we'd be?

I wonder what would happen if you gave original Homuras Soul Gem to the one from this universe? Would it recognise her?

>>28082543 >>28082545 >>28082560 >>28082644

You shake your head at the Culexus. It's not something you want to talk about, not right now. Maybe some other day, when you're a bit less underdressed in somebody else's room. ...Speaking of which, can Yuma get you something to wear? A towel, maybe a blanket?

The Culexus nods here, standing up and making for the small wooden closet near Haruka's bed. She opens it with a creak of its rusty hinges, and tosses you what looks like the same simple white gown that Haruka's using. It's here that you also remember Midori wearing the same thing, way back then.

You slip it on quickly while thanking Yuma, who simply nods and goes back to the mess of broken crockery on the floor. The gown fits alright, just a bit loose on the chest side. It does the job you want to in any case, as well as remind you how uncomfortable you are in a dress. It feels too...airy, too free. You miss your costume already, even the way the pantyhose sometimes hikes up way too high, especially when you're running--

"I put her to sleep," The Culexus suddenly says from the floor. Sounding more like a confession than anything else.

You blink at her, but say nothing.

"Erased the past few minutes from her short-term memory, too. She won't remember that we came in - she'll think that she just took a brief nap right before we arrived." A series of soft clinking sounds makes you look down - and you see bits and fragments of ceramic slowly hover up into the air and float towards Yuma's gloved hand. Attaching themselves to the teacup handle held out between the Culexus' thumb and forefinger. Beside her, the two other teacups are already repaired, looking as if they were never broken in the first place. "I can wake her up whenever you're ready, Warmaster."

Huh. That's convenient. ...Really convenient.

How do you respond?

[]Wake her up. Let's get started.

Culexus based amnesia is interesting fact, but lets not get into it now.

Similarly, we're dense but not that dense. Yuma obviously has some level of attachment, but its neither our direct business nor are we in any way fit to judge considering the Midori situation.

I just hope Pinky hasnt been snacking on her Soul Gem all this time.

Presumably we were in a similar state when we were pulled out of Charlotte, so who knows?

True enough.

...Wait, Culexus can do that?

"What, this?" Yuma looks up at you, her visor reflecting your own confused face, just as she gestures with the now fully-repaired teacup. "Oh, this is pretty easy, actually. See, the suit--"

No, no, not that. The thing about making people forget. Culexus can do that at will? ...And can it be done in reverse, make people remember stuff they've forgotten somehow?

The Culexus is silent for a few moments, before shaking her head. "...No, Warmaster. We can only erase memories, and only the ones that qualify as short-term memory. Nothing beyond two, maybe three minutes. Anything more than that, you're risking damaging the person's ability to retain memories, not to mention irrepairable brain damage. Memory restoration..." Another moment of silence, telegraphed by the subtle click of Yuma's speaker switching off due to inactivity. "...well, Miss Malal probably would've been able to do something like that. She was the best of us, after all."

Hnh. Well. That's something to know, you guess. You thank her for the information.

"...Miss Malal didn't make you forget, you know." Once again, Yuma seems to read your mind, here, the vox-corruption in her voice not quite robbing the defensive tone in her words. "She HATED wiping someone's memories, even if it was just to make someone forget something traumatic, like seeing their best friend turn into a Witch right in front of them. She always said memories, good or bad, helped make someone become the person they were meant to be - and just removing them for convenience's sake is disrespecting not only the memory, but the person the memory belongs to."

You frown, here. You didn't even say anything! You're just trying to figure out what's been fucking with your memory, that's all. You're not accusing anyone here, just trying to find out what could've happened--

"And I'm saying you're wrong. Miss Malal couldn't have made you forget. It's just not like her."

...Fine, fine. You're not in the mood to argue right now, anyway. Can she go ahead and wake Sleeping Beauty already, before you freeze? Transformed, the Silent Room was already a bit nippy, but untransformed, it feels like you're standing in a fucking freezer.

Yuma shakes her head again, grumbling something underneath her breath. Placing the teacups back on the sink in the room's mini-kitchen, the Culexus moves back to the bed - and she wakes Haruka by shaking her shoulder gently. "Haruka-chan? Haruka-chan, we're here. Wake up."

"Nnh...Yuma-san...?" The blonde girl murmurs, her words slurring slightly, as if waking from a very deep sleep, instead of a Culexus-induced five minute nap. "I...I was making tea and cupcakes for us, and..." It's here that she suddenly sits up, panicked. "T-the tea! The tea, I was boiling it, and--"

"No, no, it's fine, it's fine," Yuma says soothingly - or as soothingly as she could be, with her voice digitized and corrupted by her vox's helm speakers. "I took care of it. It's fine." She cocks her helmet toward you. "The...um...the person you wanted to talk to is here."

"The person I wanted...?" Haruka turns to look at you - and the bewildered look she had is suddenly replaced with a cool, emotionless mask. "...Ah. I...I see." The smallest frown curling her lips, she turns back towards Yuma. "Is...is it alright if you wait outside for a few minutes, Yuma-san? I just need to talk to her in private for now." It's here that she places a hand on the Culexus' gloved own. "Just like we talked about, remember?"

"Yes, but..." Yuma starts to protest. "I'm supposed to be here, and--"

"I'll be fine. I promise." Haruka smiles, thinly. "I'll call you if I need you. We talked about that too, right?"

Hastur is just even worse because it's simultaneously completely unrelated to the quest, and doesn't even pretend to be part of some stupid ritual, it just gets posted at any random time. Shittiest trap in anime history too.

It would be nice if we could go back to the normal summon. I remember we pulled it off perfectly in one thread, with a decu post right after.

I will agree it has gone a bit out of hand, it's just a mess. The HASTUR thing is just 3 posts though, so at least doable on some level.

>>28084424

The Culexus turns to look at you for a brief moment, before turning back to Haruka and nodding, a sigh escaping her speakers. She briskly steps past you, grumbling all the while, and it's here that you hear the thick, steel door give a dull, gong-like sound - as if someone from outside had suddenly just punched it with a gloved, studded fist.

...Angry kid. Almost like a certain blue-haired Eversor, but not as bad.

"She's kinder than you think." Haruka says softly, her bright blue eyes trained at the door where Yuma had just slipped through. "She's been through a lot as a child, but she's never let it affect how she deals with people. Except in this kind of way, I suppose." She turns towards you, and nods. "Chiaki Matsuda, I presume? Warmaster of the Eighth? Formerly known as Murderface?"

You nod, here. Pretty much that, yes.

"I see." She looks down at her hands - and you manage to see them shivering, just before she clasps them together. "...Please give me some time. I need to prepare myself." The blonde swallows audibly, before carefully getting up off of the bed. "It's not every day you get visited by your preordained murderer, much less play host to the one who will end the world."

You frown at this, but nod anyway. Haruka murmurs her thanks, and bustles about her kitchen with the air of a professional housewife pressed to entertain unexpected guests. And she only does take a few moments, after which she's already set the small dining table with fresh tea and cupcakes. She gestures for you to sit, and you do so after a moment's hesitation.

"It's blueberry, if you're curious." Haruka nods towards the cupcake on your plate. "It's not poisoned, don't worry. Neither is the tea, it's Earl Grey."

How do you respond?

>>28084484
It's on my to do list

>>28084450
Well, it's not like we haven't been flashed visions of us/others killing us/others before. I mostly assume it's visions of various timelines in which we fucked everything up.
This whole quest reminds me of Mirai Nikki/Steins;Gate

>>28084506
i think if we are gonna talk frankly about this, we should talk to this chick about the problems we have to deal with involving pinky.
also talk about how we are essentially trying to stop her shit when possible.

Thank her for it and take the tea.

...Wow, that's an odd coincidence.

this

>>28084539
Wow what a surprise, a word describing a phenomenon common since the start of the internet gets expanded to include other phenomena with similar characteristics, truly language is miraculous.
It's just like spam in that only a few people want to read that tedious in-joke equivalent of posting 'I bet Decu will post...NOW!' 'No, he'll do it NOW!' but it still bumps the thread and you have to silt through it to find on-topic posts.

>>28084506

I would start with a little comforting. Let her know that we don't deny her ability to see the future, but we'll at least do our level best to make sure the prediction doesn't come true today. No physical contact through, let's just stay seated.

Beyond that, just ask what she knows about Pinky, the prophet, us killing her and anything else related. Just asking, not demanding her for answers.

>>28084573
>>28084567

There's no point in asking.

Either its out of our hands or it isn't.

Predestination is a pain in the ass.

>>28084608
My only worry is that we need to kill her in the future, and it is completely necessary. Then we made a false promise.

>>28084506
[x] "Well, I hope we can still make this a pleasant conversation."

>>28084597
This. Be polite, be professional, don't bother with a plan for that last bit because you've never needed one.

>>28084674
Exactly. You get it.

>>28084674
>implying that we have to kill her TODAY
>implying we wouldn't be keeping the promise and still do our duties if need be.

>>28084672
Ah, but consider this: if she believes it to be unavoidable, then her own well-being is not a consideration for her when she makes decisions, which makes it more likely for her to do things that Chiaki will want/have to kill her for. As such, discussing it and trying to convince her she's wrong does in fact have a purpose even though it won't change Chiaki's behavior.

>>28084690
> implying that Murderface doesnt have a plan to kill everyone she meets.

EVERYBODY. No exceptions.
No, not even her. Or her.

>>28084707

No she doesn't.

She comes up with them on the spot.

>>28084707
But what about her? Surely we wouldn't kill her?

>>28084674
That's why I'm saying we'll try and make sure it doesn't happen today, not just that we'll make sure it doesn't happen full stop. We're not saying she's making wrong predictions or that we're making promises to never hurt her, but we just want to put her at ease by letting her know we haven't come to her right now to blow her kneecaps off.

>>28084706
If we wanted her dead, shed be dead already.

And if she has faith in her own abilitied, then nothing we can say is likely to change her mind. Or her actions.

>>28084707
>implying we won't kneecap pinky if we have to get either of them

I mean, she might do something in the future that might make us want, or even necessitate, Chiaki killing her. Something she does because she believes it's her 'destiny' or some crap, and she can't escape it, rather than because she wants to.
