SayakaQuest Thread 10: Glory To The Death

[x] Timestop. Pull Kyouko and Akane into it.
[x] Point at the fuck huge grief seed. "That! We can use that!"
[x] Grab the fuck huge grief seed. Bring it to your 'safe' zone.
[x] Ask Homura to bring you to the Tokyo group. Fill them in quickly as you bring them back to the safe zone as fast as you can.
[x] Walpy cleanse?



The plan that can come in next vote:

[] Ask Kyouko if she can wrap everyone in beads (to stay in timestop) so they can start grabbing the freefalling civilians around them.
-[] If yes, are there any range limits to that?
--[] No? Spread out. Homura remains near walpy's seed to cleanse as needed. Kyouko moves as needed if any range issues pops up.
--[] Yes? Grab as many civilians as range allows.
--[] If the plans not viable, Homu/Ran timestop rescue combo. Return to Walpy's seed when cleanses are needed.

Hmm- On the one hand it seems good, on the other hand it does seem a bit too wall-o-votey and "do everything in one vote" style to me, and Moid isn't a fan of those votes.

So just seems like a good base but it might need something in the way of trimming it down a little for now?

ah. Alright I'll reserve the actual rescue effort for later.

So get the the walpy seed and bring in the Tokyo group then?


edit: Okay I removed x's in the part can probably be held off for next vote.

How would we be grabbing the seed? just boosting / rubblehopping down to it?
 
[x] Muramasa

It sounds like a plan that could vaguely work! Presuming, of course, that walmartnight's grief seed is just a normal, albeit huge, grief seed.

It's a city at terminal velocity. It will leave a crater. And storms, no matter how city-destroying, don't leave craters..

It's not going to leave a crater. It'll hit the ground over the course of a few seconds, scatter in debris. My calculations, based on the assumption that all of the debris consists of bricks, bricks have a terminal velocity of 100 m/s and mass 3.2 kg, the whole city has approximately the mass of Manhattan (10^11 kg), the result would be roughly 120 kT of TNT. If we spread that over 10 seconds over the area of Manhattan (90 km^2), then the kinetic energy flux will be 500 kW/m^2, which is about 50 times as bad as a bad hailstorm. Alternately, since we're assuming that it's traveling at 100 m/s, then the height over which the 10^11 kg comes to a stop, 1 km, gives us an average surface pressure of 0.8 psi, which is less than 20% of Hiroshima's overpressure.

The result's going to be less like Hiroshima and closer to the firebombing of Tokyo barring magical bullshit.

Still gonna cause a fair bit of trouble regardless. And scientists and whatnot are gonna be scratching their heads. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we're on somebody's radar now.

"Timestop!" You shout, before suddenly, your world freezes. Homura quickly moves you over to a piece of falling debris, before she nods once. "...How...wait, how aren't we-?"

"If it counts as a surface, I can't move it." Homura says. "...I don't understand the specifics, but it's probably a deliberate convenience. I honestly don't question it."

You nod a little bit, before you turn. "What about Kyouko and-" Before you finish, Homura lets go of your hand, before she returns a split second later, with Akane and Kyouko on her arms. "Thank you."

"Christ, Homura." Kyouko cracks her neck. "Could you have picked a smaller platform?"

"I'm just glad we have one." Akane mutters.

Immediately, Kyouko grabs your hand, before she turns back towards Homura. "So uh...now what? We got a fuckton of people in there and...uh...how long do we have this?"

"Five minutes." Homura says. "But supposedly, we have something. Right, Sayaka?"

"Yeah." You look down. "Grief seed. Down there."

"...Walpurgis' grief seed?" Homura murmurs in response. She looks down to see the building-sized seed, just fifty meters below you.

You nod. "Yeah...if we get you that, we can probably just timestop as many people as we need...it's simple. We can save a lot of people!"

"Who knows what's in it?" Homura murmurs. "If it's too much-"

"It won't be." You say back. "I had Skadi's seed, right? That lasted six cleanses. If Walpurgis' seed works the same way, we'd be fine!"

"I'm with Homura..." Kyouko says. "...Are you even sure it'll work?"

"I...it's worth a try." You say. "Trust me, okay?" You look her in the eyes. "...Do you?"

Kyouko bites her lip...before she frowns. "...I...yeah." She smiles. "...Love you."

"Ditto." You squeeze her hand, before you all leap towards the gigantic grief seed. As you fall, you get a full view of the city above...enormous. Ominous. Disintegrating. Shards of glass, brick, concrete and twisting metal are all frozen in place, and as Homura moves past them, she lightly brushes them away, with the rest of you following behind her.

You slam into the Grief Seed, and immediately, you get a feel for how big it is. You're standing on top of its surface; the individual wires serve as platforms. Inside, you can see hundreds of smaller grief seeds, all moving and shifting around within like clockwork. Unlike Skadi's seed, this one is organized. Properly structured. It's unlike anything you've seen before. You smile, before you turn back up towards the city. "...Now to bring it back up to the building."

Homura quietly presses her soul gem against the seed, before she nods. "...Chains, perhaps?"

"Chains and boosts." You murmur. "That might have to do."

"I can do another giant spear trick." Kyouko says.

"That might work." You turn back up...and it's then that Kyouko whips out a spear and enlarges it. In the same move, she presses her gem against the giant seed, wraps it around the diameter of the spear, and pulls. "Seems to work!"
