SayakaQuest: Trauma is a Thing

A Chat with Kyubey [77]
[x] Look contemplative and thank Kyubey for his advice.

You look at him. All you can think about is how...shifty it sounds. There are already three magical girls here. And each one needs a supply of Grief Seeds. It'd be limiting on the supply, wouldn't it? 'Thank you, Kyubey.'

'If you need more advice, just let me know.' He says. 'I will be there.' He disappears under your desk. As in completely vanishes. It's so strange how he disappeared without anyone really noticing.

That's so shifty.

[x] Timeskip to the hospital.

The rest of class passes without much incident. In fact, it's not the class that's worrying you. It's the fact that right after this, you're going to confess to Kyousuke. Though whenever you think about it, Madoka actually says not to worry. You finally decide to bite the bullet.

It takes you twenty minutes to walk to the hospital, and when you do, you go alone. You start going up the stairs to Kyousuke's room and, when you do, you take a deep breath...and open the door.

He's staring out of his window, and the wind's blowing back the curtains.

If you didn't like him so much, you'd be laughing at how over-dramatic this is.

[OPTION SELECT]

Cut to the chase, what could go wrong?
 
Should his hand not already be much, much better now? Sayaka's made her wish, after all.

Final part of therapy, doctors being confused over the miraculous recovery then?
 
Abstaining. Again.
By the way, Carrnage, why exactly are you so against winning this quest? AQ, I can understand, since the allure of becoming god existed with Third Impact, and it wasn't really losing, just winning in a really cheap, anticlimactic, and genocidal sort of way. But what do you get out of Sayaka dying?
 
[X] Well, speaking clearly is a good start. Start working up the courage, yo. How's that leukemia (or whatever) doing, man? Plans for the future (that might include me hint hint)?

Sayaka may not be a math wizard, but it should be pretty obvious even to her that adding yet another girl would put a strain on the seed supply. You got greedy, Kyubey.
Really? You think 3 is the cutoff point? 3 is just right, but 4 is right out?

Sayaka is just tripping over these labyrinths, and Homu has a gigantic supply already.

I for one think it'd be funny in a Kenny sort of way to have a list of Sayaka deaths.

Speaking of, I think it'd be in-character for Sayaka to want to repay those 2 seeds as soon as possible.

The problem is usage rate; from how things have been so far, ideally everyone involved in a fight needs to use a GS after it to remain stable and avoid the risk of Witching out. GS's usually only have 2-3 charges, so 2 or 3 MG's operating together is the maximum that's really sustainable (and having more but not operating together makes Kyubey's point irrelevant). We have three loosely affiliated MG at present, which means that more will be starting to push things. Not undoable, but definitely getting into 'potential GS shortage' territory, especially if a shortage of Witches occurs (numbers of them will likely vary and fluctuate a lot).
 
Meh, Sayaka has already concluded that Kyuubey is shifty as hell. That's reason enough for her to be suspicious of anything it wants, and in particular, anything it insists on.

Like, say, constantly attempting to recruit a certain pinkette. That it is so insistent on this, while being reticent with information? Cause enough for Sayaka to think it suspect.

Might in fact be wise to explicitly share these observations with said pinkette, though I don't suppose the opportunity's going to come up any time soon, either way.
 
A Failed Confession... [78]
[x] Gather up the courage to confess. (64%)

[ROLL: 37]

You start saying something, but then it chokes a little. It's then that he turns around. "...Oh?" He looks. "Sayaka." He says with a smile. "I...wait. You weren't there for it, were you?"

"There for what?" You say.

"I was able to play again." He says. "I could actually do it!"

You can tell that he's happy. And in fact? You're happier than you could ever imagine. "I...that's wonderful!" You say back. You suddenly feel a little awful for missing it...but then again, you spent your day with Madoka. "I...uh..." You fidget.

"Hm?" He looks at you strangely. "...Are you okay?"

"I...uh..." I love you. "Just..." You take a deep breath. "I like you." You say.

He pauses. "...Hm?"

"I like you." You say. "...Morethanafriend." You look at the floor.

"...You like me as in...?"

"I like youmorethanafriend,andIwanttobeyourgirlfriend." You say, again.

He looks confused.

You take a deep breath. "I want to be your girlfriend!" You shout at the top of your lungs. You say it out loud. You say it so that he can hear it. "I said it!" You say to nobody. "I...just...!"

He smiles thinly. "Thank you, Sayaka." He says.

You stare at him. He's not rejecting you. He seems happy. He seems-

"But I don't feel the same way." The smile fades. "Sorry."

While Multiple Puella could strain the food supply. Couldn't the added force drag witch hunting up to a higher level of effeciency to compensate? I mean fewer injuries and faster battles is less greif spent. Right?

There is something in me. Something deep and spiteful that want to go?

[ ] Is that anything to say to the one who healed you? Who gave you your music back? Yes that was me my power my miracle. My once in a lifetime Wish and I gave it to you.
 
[X] Disengage, politely.
-[X] Go find something to break. Channel anger, not despair. Anger is good, it's a 'red' feeling, not 'blue', and it helps us kill things. So go out. Do some killing.

We want out of this situation. Fast. Let's not stay and chat where we're only going to despair more.

*For those who don't know, 'red' is slang for a state that can be snapped out of quickly, while 'blue' is one that attempts to shock out of can only make worse. Generally, a heavy shock can stop a 'red' feeling in it's tracks, while one to a 'blue' will generally make the feeling more extreme. Suicidal people are usually 'blue', while Pseudocidal are 'red'.
 
Well, at least he didn't say yes. It'd be a hell of a thing spending the rest of the quest pretending to care about violin-boy.

[x] Put on a brave face.
[x] Make an excuse and leave.
[x] Go somewhere private and check soul gem, apply grief seed if necessary.
[x] Call Mom.

I'm not sure how long Sayaka is going to keep it together and I'd rather not make a scene in front of him.

EDIT: Was intending to vote for Sayaka going home to talk to her Mom next update, but calling her now makes sense too.

-[X] You've just been friendzoned?

---[X] Eat Icecream until you feel better. Also hang out with Kyouko
 
[x]Thank him for his time.
[x] Leave
[x] Call hitomi and tell her that she'll get her chance.
[x] Find a witch to kill.
 
[x]Don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry don't-
-[x] "...t-that's alright. I should've realized it sooner... I- I-"
--[x]"I'm sorry. I completely forgot, I-I have to be somewhere. Somewhere ah- *sniff*
---[x] Leave.
