"Against my own better judgment, yes." Kyuubey shakes his head. "I thought it would have been...a much more compassionate way of dealing with things. Everyone, including the Eighth, told me that I was in the grip of insanity once more, to absorb the Third Officio into my own instead of simply having them destroyed. Every one of them favored the easier, cleaner solution. But it didn't feel right, to me." The mutant cat reaches forward with a paw, tapping something on his keyboard, and all the screens on his monitor array blank out. "It didn't feel proper. And now...well."

You stay quiet at this. You're not exactly sure, but it seems like Kyuubey needs a bit of comforting right this moment.

"Kharn wanted them gone. She wanted to break every single one of them. She would've killed them all herself, if I'd let her. But after they all went down on their knees and surrendered, I had Kharn stay that chainsword of hers and allow them to rise once again, as part of the Ninth. ...I should have asked Kharn to make another throne out of their skulls. Or maybe even a coffee table."

Kyuubey glances at you, his face as unreadable as it has always been. "Well, go on, Matsuda. You do have that engagement to get ready for, don't you?" He turns back to his monitor array, the screens coming alive with yet another tap. "Don't let my complaining about my own careless mistakes keep you."

How do you react?

Head to our office, check out the packages and just spend some time with our feet up not being attacked by visions.

Once we are there, it might be worth calling whoever is in charge of interrogations to see how things are going with the people we caught at the concert. We need to pilfer a couple of their soul gems for Pinky at some point, after all.

No it doesn't. Cleaning up now means eliminating only those girls of the Third that went rogue. Cleaning up then would have meant killing every single member of the Third, regardless of loyalty.

"For what its worth, I don't think it was that bad of a call. Kharn may be able to kill most but a core would have still survived, and this act may have played out exactly the same way, just with a hardened core.

You care, Kyuubey. And thats more than what I can say for most of your brothers."

Kind of yes, Kind of no. He is better in someways. But at the same time not trustworthy since he looks for his own agenda that just happens to the same at the moment.

On the other hand he is more emotional so less likely to kill us for no reason. On the other hand from that he is also more emotional so his plans won't screw up as much because he can see the human element better.

>>28208068
Its funny, he's the closest thing we have to a Big Good in this setting.

Him, of all people.

I think its one of the biggest plot twists of MGNQ.

>>28207922
right then, this whole prophet business is his fault, so Mami's safety is his responsibility, anything happens to her, we kill him, over and over again

>>28207962
Could we please stop with the
>Feed Pinky soul gems
please?

>>28208096
Well, the fact of the matter is, unless something really really huge happens I can't really see our agendas diverging.

We've got the same overall goal right now: Preserve the status quo. We're both very happy with the current state of affairs, and want to keep it that way. The Officio system is definitely something we want to keep around, after all.

>>28208108
Quite frankly, if anything happens to Mami, I think he'd let us.

>>28208110
Well, we do have a bunch of violent, Mami-murdering rebels to put down. Feeding them to Pinky pretty much guarantees they won't get back up ever (I think).

I wish we could contact the cultists and sick them on Oriko. Could be interesting and save us the trouble.

>>28208110

We stopped her from feeding on one of the soul gems from our own officio, and we ignored her when she tried to get our attention before we met with Haruka. She's going to be really, really mad with us. We're going to need something to pacify her.

>>28208126

Same as shooting their Soul Gems, but without the risk lo passing off Pinky for offering gems she doesn't want.

It's a terrible idea honestly

>>28208114

Yeah agreed. The biggest danger with him so far is pretty much him seeing a reason to get rid of us. Like a way to effect pinky or something then taking it.

Right now we are pretty safe. I wouldn't be buddy buddy with him but we can trust him.

>>28208110

Yeah. I could see Chaki doing this if and only IF they really pissed her off enough to send them to hell itself. As is I don't think she is pissed enough not to just torture them herself.

>>28208144
>The biggest danger with him so far is pretty much him seeing a reason to get rid of us. Like a way to effect pinky or something then taking it.
We can avoid that by basically ensuring that losing us is not worth effecting Pinky.

>>28208126
>>28208132
What part of Pinky not wanting to eat those Soul Gems do you not understand?
Do you want to antagonize her again?

>>28208184

She never said she didn't want to eat them.

At that point, the only soul gem we had on hand was our subordinate's and then she mentioned that she only eats 'select' soul gems.

It's not that she doesn't want to, its just that she might not find them appealing.

>>28208184
Its simple.

If she doesn't want to eat the soulgems, we offer pancakes as a consolation prize.

>>28208175

If Chiaki dies, Pinky will have a lot of free time on her hands, which she'll probably use to fuck shit up even faster than she's already doing.

also, feeding gems to Pinky will come back to bite us eventually.

>>28208196

Man, feeding Pinky Soul Gems doesn't sound right with me AND it runs the risk of pissing her off by offering her gems she doesn't want AND reminding her how we snubbed her on the one she did want

I think it's more effective and generally safer to just go the pancakes route.

>>28208217

You shake your head, here. For what it's worth, you don't think what he did was a bad decision at all - and you're speaking as someone who regularly makes bad decisions, and are being punished for quite a few (including those you can't even remember making). This thing with the Prophet would've happened no matter what, or at least that's how it looks like to you.

And it's not his fault if they took the second chance he gave them and just spat it back in his face. Some people just don't deserve second chances.

"I suppose. I've never really thought of it in that manner." Kyuubey seems to chuckle, here. "I'll take your words to heart, Matsuda. Right after I overcome my surprise at actually being consoled by one of my own Magical Girls - and my own Warmaster, no less." He shakes his head, his long ears swaying with the movement. "Maybe I really am going insane as they say."

Insane or not...well. He's not to let it get to his head, but there's no other Incubator you'd want to be signed up with.

There's a moment of silence, here, and you could swear that Kyuubey seems to be taken aback by your words.

"I...yes. That's..." He stumbles for a moment. "...Thank you, Matsuda."

Heh. Stupid alien cat bastard.

You turn around and make to exit his office, waving at him from back over your shoulder as you do so.

. . .

You manage to get to your own office without any problems or delays - although you do stop for a minute to glance at the office next door, namely Malal's. What could be inside it, you wonder? Did she leave anything there inside for you, a clue you could use to help you with the trail of breadcrumbs she's having you follow?

Well, you guess there's the servo skull she left you, and it seems Yuma's finished fixing it. You can't help but be curious still, however. Maybe you can ask Yuma to let you in Malal's office sometime.

You step into your own office, and immediately see the two packages on your desk. One's a bit bigger than the other, and looks like it's from some upscale clothing store that you've never stepped into before. The other is an ordinary, if beat-up looking cardboard box with the word 'REMOV' written on its lid with black sharpie - making it obvious who's it from.

Just as you try to take the lid off of the second box to get a look at what's inside is when you hear something coming from inside the Warmaster's Quarters. Like someone's sleeping in there, or something.

...

It's Mami. Sleeping in your own quarters.

Your personal blonde goddess of victory, in her business suit, but with the blazer off. She's kicked off her shoes, too. Lying on her side, looking peaceful and serene on the really big bed built to sleep an entire orgy.

She's...she's hugging one of the pillows close to herself, too. In the way that you'd hug someone you're sleeping with.

Despite wanting to leave the sleeping blonde alone - you find yourself moving close to the bed, before carefully sitting down on its edge. Slowly and deliberately settling your weight down, so as to not disturb her.

. . .

It's a rare thing, to see Mami like this. She's always been the kind of person who always presents herself properly to other people - taking care not to appear vulnerable or anything less than the perfect Magical Girl she'd always been. The last time you saw her break character was when she apologized to you at the airport, right before you left Siberia. And you felt so special then, to be trusted and held in such importance by her that she allowed you to see that side of her, the side she normally worked hard to conceal from view.

And now she's...she's sleeping on your bed. Well, technically it's not really YOUR bed, since you have your own, back at the apartment - but it's the Warmaster's, and you're the Warmaster, so it counts as your bed. Right?

Eat it, Kharn, you scream mentally at the former Warmaster enjoying her retirement in Bumfuck, Siberia. Eat it.

Well, anyway. You should probably let her sleep - no doubt she'd worked through the night again, if her rumpled office clothes are anything to go by. She probably just planned to rest her back for a bit after bringing you your clothes, but fell asleep right away.

...Gah. If you didn't have anything to do right now, you'd replace that pillow she's hugging with yourself. It'd...it'd probably feel really nice and comfy, wouldn't it? To be squeezed between those soft, warm arms, your face buried into her chest--

"...Nn? Chiaki-san...?"

You freeze right in your tracks, your eyes wide behind your glasses, a cold sweat breaking out all over you as you hear the shapely young woman underneath you murmur your name in the sweetest voice you've ever heard. The fact that it's slightly slurred from sleep seemed to even make it sound more...loving, somehow. As if she'd just said it while dreaming of you.

You look down and see her smiling up at you, her soft amber eyes hooded.

"Oh, it really is you, Chiaki-san." She giggles here, the sound of it - along with the sight of her teasing smile - turning your resolve into so much jelly. "I thought I was dreaming again. Have...have you come to take advantage of me in your own quarters?"

You look down at Tomoe Mami, utterly speechless. Never had a bed ever looked as inviting as it did now, with the warm, soft blonde stretched out on top of it. Your cheeks burning fiercely at what she'd just implied, it takes you an awkward eternity to grumble out a reply. But what you actually replied with, well...it's anything but awkward.

"Yes." You hear yourself say, in a completely deadpan voice, with a confidence you didn't even know you have. You blink in surprise, at the same time Mami does - and you immediately reach up and pat the top of your head with a hand. You're not wearing the hat, right? You stuffed it into your inventory earlier before you met Haruka, right?

...Yeah, that's right. You did. You're not wearing it.

"Chiaki-san...?" Mami looks up at you, propping herself up with an elbow. "I was actually just--" She tries to begin, rather flustered, but you cut her off as you allow yourself to fall forward on top of her. Both your arms wrapping around her as you pull her into a hug. "A-ah, Chiaki-san...!"

You close your eyes as you press your face against her neck. Allowing yourself this one moment of self-indulgence - at least, the sort that doesn't have you killing bottles of Kong left and right.

Soft. Really soft. And so, so warm.

Honestly, you can die right now. It's over. It's done. Fuck Pinky. Fuck th e Golden Weapons. This is your Flesh of the Fallen Angels, right here.

It's here, then, that you feel Mami's own arms curl around you as well, another soft giggle escaping her lips and tickling your ear. "Hee. I was trying to tease you, but I guess that backfired on me a bit, huh?" Her grip shifts a bit, and it's here that you feel her fingers running through your hair, smoothing it down your back. "Silly Chiaki-san. What am I going to do with you?"

...You're not even sure what to do with yourself, sometimes. So that makes two of you.

[1/2]

>>28209581
Watched the show, read Kazumi Magica and Oriko Magica. Havent watched any movies so far, though.

>>28209682
Actually, both Kharn and Chiaki are special cases.

For one, Chiaki's psyche was put back together by Madoka herself.

For two, Kharn came back from being witched out not once but twice. And the first time was seemingly sheer willpower.

>>28209687
>What a happy coincidence we happened to sign with Incubator that passes for insane among his kin.
You know, it's worth considering whether we're -technically- contracted at all. We're not signed with THIS Kyubey, so far as we know.

Fuck. And the third comes out here on February.

>>28209727

Mami makes a small noise here, the sort that she makes when she's worried. "...Did something happen? I heard from Kyuubey that you were going to talk with Haruka-chan, to find out more about that nasty Prophet business."

Her hand moves back down to your back, rubbing a spot there that makes your entire body tingle. "Is there anything you'd want to talk to me about, Chiaki-san? Anything at all, I'm here to listen."

Your personal blonde goddess of luck and victory is trying to comfort you, here.

How do you respond?

I am entirely against telling Mami the truth.

It'd be the same as the Kirika debacle.

She'd try and TALK first.

We have to tell her the truth, but not right now. It can wait. Come on guys. Play smart. Even Chiaki wouldn't tell her knowing what happened the first time

Guys srsly, dont be late. Explain. everything. later.

haven't watched or read a damn thing about madoka puella whatever, with the exception of this quest.

>...lets hope this doesn't fucking backfire.
remember the advice we gave to Kyubey. There's no point in beating yourself up over the choices you've already made.

>>28209964
Yes, but, how do you think Oriko was planning to get at Mami?
If Mami still thinks that Oriko is a friend, because we didn't tell her about Oriko becoming the Prophet, then she could be invited for tea and cakes with a cyanide spread. If we tell her that she is being specifically targeted, and that this is Oriko involving and killing innocent civilians and targeting her specifically, then we can try to get Mami to go Full Professional and not be captured by Oriko.

No evidence to suggest that whatsoever. In fact, just the opposite; she discarded what appeared to be a perfectly viable weapon, during a combat situation, based purely on gut instinct. Even if the musket DID return, she would maintain that wariness.
>>28210026
She deliberately threw it away into a witch's barrier. She didn't fire it, she didn't hit something with it, and she didn't un-summon it; she made a concious decision to cease all interaction.
I'm not saying I'm certain she no longer possesses it, just that the evidence would suggest such. I would not be surprised if she pulled it out again later; nor would I be surprised if it has been in someone else's possession this entire time.

>>28210073
In my defence, as one of the people who voted for 'tell her now', I was going off her speech to us about not hiding things when we tried to be subtle about rescheduling, and the assumption that if we tell her about this but make it clear to her that our priority is her safety rather than doing anything to Oriko, she's less likely to take risks.

When she drew her first musket in the barrier she breathed a sight of relief. Because it was sliver, not gold.

That implies shes come across it before, has likely used it before and is scared of it.

>That wasn't her first.

And these are the basis for my comment of "Mami had a golden weapon earlier than anyone, before Chiaki even arrived in this time-line". The basis I was too lazy to look up, so thank you for that!

We need a picture of Wendy with a Phanto mask.

We need a picture of wendy with a wall of masks deciding which one to wear

Or Wendy dressed up like one of the paday crew ( 2 piece business suit ) with a huge wall of masks behind her walking off putting one on

How about plating the entire skeleton golden and making the person into a living artifact a la Wolverine? That would be a pretty horrifying opponent to face.

And a more horrifying weapon to use after we kill it's wielder.

I'm now imagining Bulgarian Gypsy witch.
