SayakaQuest Thread 10: Glory To The Death

Reader mode
Why would Walpy's seed be inaccessible?

I think the reason is that even if we have kinda unlimited power at the moment, our power sets aren't actually very suited to saving a city from falling. And I've been told Homura's time stop won't last long enough for us to go find meguca allies with more appropriate power sets...
 
Then our first priority needs to be the seed. If we get Walpy's seed, we're back in timestop and have time to come up with something better.
 
So the plan now is falling with style.

If we can walk away from this landing, it'll be cuz we can heal.
 
Can we use Sayaka's platforms to increase our safe zone's drag? Use them to catch air ?

Stupid retarded idea: Shield the bottom of the safe zone then have Akane punch it from below?
 
Timestop and continue with the saving? Or work on executing the plan while timestopped? Assuming the seed's still useable there's no reason not to get it.
 
So... Umm, just as an estimate... Assuming we have enough time stop to absolutely cram our bit of land with as many people as can be fit on it... Say, a thousand? Two thousand? Umm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't even a small Japanese city have a population of at least several hundred thousand? So... we'd be saving about 1% of the Mitakiharan populace...

...Are we sure we don't have enough time in time stop to go find Ono and have her use her earthbending powers to save more of the city? What if we telepathed her to ask her where she was, then sent Homura after her? We might be able to grab a larger chunk of the city then and save more people.

Also, does anyone have a list of powers of all the magical girls we know? Who are still alive? Ducklings and Tokyo girls mainly. I know we've got an earthbender, and a... speedy archer, I think, but I've forgotten the rest.

Ah, right, sorry... *sigh* Really need that list of magical girls if anyone can make it. The only non-canon girl's power I really remember is Akane's...
 
The best plan we have to saving people is either still in process or already concluded. Chains and rope were deemed unworkable so we have only one set of hands capable of saving anyone.

If we're going into timestop we should either be figuring out how to increase the safety zone without overly increasing the workload on everyone or finding a way to mitigate the increases and still bring our zone down safely.

Don't know about the ducklings, but they're not in the city anyway.

For the Tokyo girls, check this post.

Thanks! But even if the ducklings aren't in the city, can we still get them? Yoko should be particularly useful with her earthbending. We could telepath her to ask her where she was, get Kyouko to use chains to strap herself, Homura and Ran to the Walpurgisseed, and then the three of them could go fetch her in timestop.

And depending on how much time/cleanses we have left, it may be a good idea to get everyone to start shattering overly large chunks of buildings so that the debris doesn't end up causing craters/earthquakes/tidal waves.

Unless you know a way for the gang to get down from 17 km in the air, and then back up, that plan's not gonna work.

And if you do have a way, then it might be more practical to just ferry the civillians down using what ever plan that is.

I don't know how you can possibly imagine that it would ever be even remotely possible.

Since Sayaka is out of timestop, I don't expect there to be more than 30 seconds left. Since parts of the city have started to hit the ground, it may be down to around 15 seconds left.
 
Ah yeah... Perhaps thinking about containing fall damage is a bit too forward right now.

And... I guess Sayaka's boosts aren't sufficient to fly a small party from and to the falling city?
 
Is there perhaps a way to exclude certain chunks of Mitakihara from time stop? If that's possible, we could unfreeze bits of the city, one section at a time and slow their descent. That would give us more landing platforms to save civilians with.

Sorry if the ideas seem stupid and unrealistic. Just... It just hit me that we're saving barely 1% of the populace, and I kinda want to improve those numbers if at all possible...
 
Well, I'm not sure we actually have GM confirmation of the portion of the population that was on that portion of the city when it was captured. It could be that the amount of people we are saving is very close to the total amount of people to be saved.
 
You mean Walpurgisnacht didn't lift up the whole city? I thought she did.

It's around the ballpark of 5,000. There were several hundred fatalities when the chunk of the city was sent into the ocean (Though that's far less than what would have happened if you just let the attack finish), and there were a few people who died when the city was lifted.

It's less hilariously impossible but at the same time, your job isn't quite that cut-and-dry.

Your families weren't the only ones who ditched the city.
 
Well, there you have it: Our current rescue methods will likely be able to do the job in time, but any ideas we have to increase efficiency are still valuable.
 
5000? Really? That might actually be rescuable! Can we fit them all on the chunk of land we're currently using? I'm afraid I'm not clear about exactly how big this chunk of land is... If it happens to have any intact buildings on it, we could cram even more people into the buildings...
