i'd rather not use Washu or Sailor Moon, just because she conveniently handwaves far too much away. It can really kill tension....

Maybe it takes too much time to get everyone ready, by which time the ambulance has arrived and we've a new problem to sort out.

Or we go with a BBQ fork accident, guard.... yes.... he slipped and fell on a BBQ fork and won't tell anyone otherwise because that means admitting to stabbing a woman.....

Washu would probably not take very much time to get ready, really.  I'd say ten minutes at the absolute most and only because it'd take her about that long to put together a rig that can synthesize the exact perfluorocarbon mixture Lou would need... and also to wake Usagi and get her decent.  Meanwhile, I'd be on a tablet keeping tabs on the situation... probably using the same cellular network set up by the Goddesses.
Okay, so the ambulance might get there at about the same time we do...  How about we get there just before it does.  Washu only has enough time to modify the guy's memories of the incident.  Marler would be on scene, too, I'd imagine.  She's good at lying (Demon 1st Class, yo) so she can go ahead and spin a yarn about what happened (probably that she was the one that got attacked, her friends ran and escaped).  Before the medical guys get in, we actually do escape using Washu's portal - Marler can clean up any incriminating evidence (like pools of perfluorocarbons) in a literal snap.  While Marler handles things, Lou gets treated in Washu's lab while we all have a sitdown.

What do you think?

Interesting idea, Rob.
I don't think we should have to deal with witches right away... I think that would come no sooner than half way through this arc.
We would probably have the idea after initial success with the Puella Magi girls. Though I think it'd be a nice twist if it came out that even after their souls were properly seated back into their bodies... That they still were magical girls afterwards.
After all, isn't it their fate to be magical girls?

I've asked a couple of my friends for ideas on who could become a Witch. Dave Watson just emailed me a doozy of an idea.
No, I'm not going to share just yet, except to say that some darkfic writers would appreciate it. I'll leave you adrift.

Ooookaayyyy... Not ominous at all there.  Not one bit.  :V
